The Folk Concept of Nursing in Australia: A Decolonising Conceptual Analysis
Authors: Mackay Jacinta , Lee‐Tory Jordan , Smith Kylie , Molloy Luke , Clapham Kathleen 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis article presents a conceptual analysis of the contemporary understanding of NURSING in Australia and proposes strategies for decolonisation. Through historical reflection and the lens of cultural safety and critical race theory, it examines some conditions which make up this concept, including “Florence Nightingale‐influenced practices,” “intellectual practitioners,” and “whiteness in nursing.” This analysis aims to identify conditions which we take to be necessary for the folk concept of NURSING to be satisfied and which result in negative outcomes. The article explores why these conditions are plausibly included in this concept and possible objections to their inclusion. These conditions, and subsequently the concept of NURSING, are then critiqued. In this conceptual analysis of NURSING in Australia, we explore three conditions. By critically examining these conditions through the lens of cultural safety and employing decolonising methodologies, the article sheds light on the complex interplay of historical legacies, contemporary practices and potential negative outcomes within the nursing profession. The conclusions drawn propose a shift toward decolonisation, advocating for a cultural safety framework to address historical injustices and highlights possible ways in which one might amend the concept of nursing to be more inclusive of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The need for this change is emphasised by the acknowledgement of historical conditions that perpetuated racism and hindered equitable healthcare. Ultimately, the article advocates for a comprehensive decolonisation of the concept of NURSING in Australia, urging the nursing profession to implement cultural safety for the overall well‐being of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The authors of this article would like to acknowledge the people of the Dharawal and Dharug language group, who are the custodians of the unceded land we have worked on throughout this project. We would also like to acknowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people nationwide and warn them that some traumatic aspects of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history are mentioned throughout this article. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land. Two authors on this article identify as Aboriginal, while three do not. Two authors are registered nurses, one is an anthropologist, one is a philosopher and one is a historian.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTSyringocystadenoma papilliferum (SCAP) is an uncommon but benign glandular neoplasm, known to arise in association with nevus sebaceus, that can present with variance in morphology. The diverse presentation of SCAP creates a diagnostic challenge that often lends reliance on biopsy for confirmation. In children, this can be an invasive, painful, and undesired procedure. This case illustrates the utility of reflectance confocal microscopy in the diagnosis of SCAP and highlights characteristic features seen using this diagnostic tool.
Firm‐Level Expectations and Macroeconomic Conditions: Underpinnings and Disagreement
Authors: Reid Monique , Siklos Pierre 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThere is abundant evidence that financial analysts' inflation expectations differ in economically important ways from those of nonfinancial specialists. As a result, there is an increasing demand for firm‐level data to more accurately capture the views of price setters. The unusually rich firm‐level survey data from South Africa allow us to explore some of the ways in which the expectations of firms differ from those of other groups surveyed. We focus specifically on forecast disagreement, which can offer insights into the level of uncertainty reflected in the data and the degree to which expectations are influenced by the policy regime in place. We find that the divergence in inflation forecasts among respondents is partly explained by differences in how respondents believe the broader macroeconomy is evolving. The effect of aggregating the data in different ways is also considered. When we construct a new measure of macroeconomic disagreement that combines all the variables being forecast, we are able to see that forecasters responded sharply in early 2020 as the COVID‐19 pandemic emerged.

AbstractConventional tillage (CT) is a widely used agricultural practice aimed at loosening soil to enhance water infiltration and root growth. However, it can lead to environmental issues such as increased soil erosion and loss of nutrients and carbon. To address these challenges, non‐conventional tillage systems like no‐tillage and minimum tillage (collectively referred to as NT) have gained popularity in recent decades. This review examines the effects of CT and NT on the root: shoot ratio (R:S) based on 28 studies covering common crops across various climates and managements. Most studies were primarily on maize, wheat, rapeseed and barley. Meta‐analysis showed non‐significant differences (p = .27) among these crops with respect to their response of R:S to the two tillage practices. Rapeseed and barley exhibited higher R:S in NT by 2% and 15%, while maize and wheat demonstrated higher R:S in CT by 2% and 6%, respectively, although the effects where not significant. In terms of soil texture classes, crops grown in sandy soils had a higher R:S under CT than NT, but no significant differences were found (p = .19). However, significant differences emerged among soil textures, with silty clay, sandy loam and clay loam showing the highest R:S (p < .05) while a cluster of sandy clay loam, clay and loam had lower R:S. Additionally, dicot crops displayed an 8% higher R:S under NT compared with CT, although this was not statistically significant (p = .24). Results indicated no significant differences (p = .22) in R:S between deep (>30 cm) and shallow (<30 cm) root sampling depths. The findings indicate that more field experiments are needed to fully understand the impact of tillage methods on R:S across genotypes, environments and managements.

Abstract
Based on sedimentological, isotope-geochemical, and micropaleontological parameters of bottom sediments of the AMK-5188 core, differences in the natural environment of the last interglacial of the Late Pleistocene (marine oxygen isotope substage 5e) and the Holocene in the Lofoten Basin of the Norwegian Sea were revealed. The local thermal optimum of the last interglacial was shifted to the second half of substage 5e ~124–115 ka and consisted of two short intervals separated by strong cooling ~122–120 ka. In the Early–Middle Holocene ~10–3 ka, a long stable climate optimum was noted for the main identified parameters, and a short paleotemperature minimum occurred in the Late Holocene ~3–2 ka during the regional Neoglacial cooling.

ObjectiveTo investigate the prognosis and co-occurring disorders, including functional neurological symptoms, in adolescents diagnosed with functional tic-like behaviour (FTLB).DesignThis was a single-centre tertiary study in the UK. A structured clinical interview was administered to 43 parents or carers of adolescents assessed with FTLB at their previous outpatient clinic appointment. Data collected included demographic variables, co-occurring psychiatric and neurodevelopmental diagnoses and additional functional neurological symptoms.SettingA tertiary UK paediatric tics and neurodevelopmental movement disorder service.Patients: adolescents diagnosed with FTLB during the COVID-19 pandemic.Outcome measures: the primary outcome was whether FTLB had resolved, improved, remained constant or worsened. Secondary outcomes were Children’s Global Assessment Scale scores, impact on school attendance and parent or carer work absence.ResultsPatient demographics support the European Society for the Study of Tourette Syndrome diagnostic criteria for FTLB, with a 100% female sex bias, adolescent onset and high levels of co-occurring disorders. Anxiety disorders were especially common (70%), as were other functional neurological symptoms. While the majority (65%) of parents reported that the young people had resolution or improvement in the severity of FTLB symptoms at follow-up, a significant minority (16%) saw no change and a fifth reported worsening symptoms.ConclusionsFTLB show high co-occurrence with psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders, along with other functional neurological symptoms. In this study, the prognosis was poor for a fifth of patients diagnosed with FTLB.

Background/aimsTo report the long-term visual outcomes and side effects in patients with small choroidal melanoma (CM) undergoing ruthenium-106 (Ru-106) plaque brachytherapy.MethodsRetrospective, interventional, consecutive series of small CM ≤2.5 mm in height and ≤16 mm in largest basal diameter treated with Ru-106 plaque with a median radiation dose of 100 Gy prescribed to tumour apical height.Results310 patients (160 men) with a mean (SD) age of 58.4±14.1 years met the study inclusion criteria. The median follow-up was 57.5 (range 3.4–170.5) months. The mean tumour baseline thickness was 1.9±0.4 (range 0.4–2.5) mm. The mean baseline logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) of best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.21±0.4 (Snellen equivalent 6/9; range −0.1 to 1.5). Mean final BCVA was ≤0.3 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 6/12) in 161 patients (54.2%), better than 1.0 logMAR (Snellen equivalent 6/60) and <0.3 logMAR in 59 patients (19.9%), and ≥1.0 logMAR in 77 patients (25.9%). Kaplan-Meier estimates of poor final VA (≥1.0 logMAR) were 13.2% at 5 years and 54.5% at 10 years. Early and late complications developed in 20.6% and 42.6% of cases, respectively. Radiation maculopathy was the most frequent late side effect (29% of patients) with Kaplan-Meier rates of 18.2%, 31.7% and 42.1% at 3, 5 and 10 years, respectively. Older age, lipofuscin, proximity to fovea, final tumour elevation and radiation maculopathy predicted visual loss ≥5 Snellen lines.ConclusionDespite early and late complications in 20.6% and 42.6% of cases, Ru-106 brachytherapy for small CM allows retention of BCVA ≤0.3 logMAR in half of the eyes.

ObjectiveTo compare physical activity (PA) over midlife between (1) former collegiate athletes and non-athletes and (2) among athletes in different sports.MethodsThe Harvard Alumni Health Study (HAHS) is a prospective cohort study of male undergraduates who completed serial questionnaires regarding PA and health status between 1962 and 1993. PA was categorised by intensity (<3 METs, light; 3 to <6 METs, moderate; ≥6 METs, vigorous), and energy expenditure (kilocalories (kcal)/week) was estimated at each intensity and in total. HAHS data were merged with university athletics records. Mixed linear models, adjusted for graduating class, survey date, age and smoking, were compared with PA between relevant groups.Results22 201 participants completed 38 448 surveys when 30–65 years old, of which 1533 (6.9%) participants were athletes completing 2733 (7.1%) surveys. The age at the first survey was 46.8±9.7 years. Athletes were more active than non-athletes throughout midlife (p<0.001), from age 35 (total PA: +856.8 [704.6 to 1009.1] kcal/week) to age 65 (+524.2 [359.1 to 689.4] kcal/week). Total PA levels converged with older age, and differences resulted from more vigorous intensity PA in athletes. Multisport collegiate athletes were more active than single sport athletes (+544.6 [196.5 to 892.7] kcal/week, p=0.002). Compared with other athletes, PA in midlife was higher in tennis (+750.1 [223.9 to 1276.2] kcal/week, p=0.005) and basketball (+373.6 [28.7 to 718.5] kcal/week, p=0.03) players.ConclusionCollegiate sport participation, particularly participation in multiple sports, is associated with higher midlife PA levels in males. These results underscore the importance of early life sport exposure in supporting health-promoting levels of later life PA.

BackgroundThe periprocedural management of antithrombotic medications in patients with chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) after middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) or surgical evacuation is uncertain.MethodsA systematic review was conducted across Medline, Embase, and Web of Science databases. We pooled proportions and risk ratios (RRs) for the meta-analysis with the corresponding 95% CIs. Systemic and intracranial (including recurrence) bleeding complications and thromboembolic events were evaluated.ResultsOf the 16 included studies with 4606 patients, 1784 were receiving antithrombotic medications. Antithrombotic therapy was resumed in 1231 patients (69.0%). Bleeding complications were similar between patients in whom antithrombotic therapy was resumed (14.1%, 95% CI 9.7% to 20.2%) and in those in whom it was discontinued (15.4%, 95% CI 7.4% to 29.3%). After MMAE, patients had similar rates of bleeding events (12.1%, 95% CI 4.9% to 27.0%) to patients with overall treated cSDH, and recurrence (RR 2.28, 95% CI 0.46 to 11.37) and reoperation (RR 1.07, 95% CI 0.40 to 2.917) risks were similar between the resumed and discontinued groups. Thromboembolic complications were significantly higher in the discontinued group (12.6%, 95% CI 6.5% to 23.0%) than in the resumption group (3.5%, 95% CI 1.8% to 6.9%). Earlier resumption (1 week to 1 month) was associated with a lower thromboembolic risk without increasing bleeding complications.ConclusionsPost-procedural antithrombotic resumption may reduce thromboembolic events without significantly increasing bleeding risk. Early resumption of antithrombotics post-MMAE appears to be safe, although further data are required to confirm this observation. Future studies should aim to better define patient characteristics influencing decision-making in this context.

ObjectivesScabies infestation, caused by theSarcoptes scabieimite, has recently emerged as a public health concern in Western nations, with increased incidence worldwide. In Bologna, Italy, local health authorities report a rise in scabies diagnoses, although detailed data are limited. This study aimed to analyse the temporal trends of scabies cases diagnosed at S. Orsola Hospital’s Dermatological Emergency Department, focusing on significant changes in incidence and seasonal variation over time.MethodsA retrospective observational study was conducted using data from October 2013 to September 2024, extracted from hospital records using ICD-9 (International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision) codes. Variables included monthly case counts, discharge date, patient age and nationality. All pruritic cases from the emergency department were evaluated in the dermatology unit, with diagnosis confirmed via dermoscopic or microscopic examination. Only first visits were included, excluding follow-up visits or post-therapy controls to avoid duplication. Monthly cases were aggregated to identify annual and seasonal trends. χ2tests assessed nationality distribution differences, and linear regression analysed annual trends. Seasonal variation was evaluated with the Kruskal-Wallis test.ResultsA total of 1192 cases were diagnosed. The nationality distribution remained stable, with no significant differences between Italian-born and other nationalities. A significant upward trend in incidence was observed in recent years, with seasonal variation showing higher case counts in February, March and April, and the lowest in July and August.ConclusionsThe increase in scabies cases in recent years and distinct seasonal peaks suggests that environmental and social factors may contribute to transmission in Bologna. Without demographic changes and known drug resistance, factors such as the rise in tourism and suboptimal accommodation conditions may play a role in transmission. Enhanced public health monitoring, awareness and targeted interventions are recommended to manage this trend effectively.
Generative AI in a new era of computer model-informed tobacco research: a short report

Published: January 2025

BackgroundSocial media influencers who promote e-cigarettes on Instagram or TikTok for tobacco brands use marketing tactics to increase the appeal of their promotional content, for example, depicting e-cigarettes alongside healthy lifestyle or entertainment imagery that could decrease youths’ risk perceptions of e-cigarettes. Monitoring the prevalence of such content on social media using computer vision and generative AI (artificial intelligence) can provide valuable data for tobacco regulatory science (TRS).MethodsWe selected 102 Instagram and TikTok videos posted by micro-influencers in 2021–2024 who promoted e-cigarettes alongside posts featuring four themes: cannabis, entertainment, fashion or healthy lifestyle. We used OpenAI’s GPT-4o multimodal large-scale visual linguistic model to detect the presence of nicotine vaping, cannabis vaping, fashion, entertainment and healthy lifestyle. The model did not require any additional training and improved its performance as we modified the text prompt.ResultsThe model’s accuracy was 87% for nicotine vaping, 96% for cannabis vaping, 99% for fashion, 96% for entertainment and 98% for healthy lifestyle.ConclusionsGenerative AI can achieve accurate object detection with zero-shot learning (no additional training of the pretrained model). This model can be applied to big data-scale sample sizes of images and videos to detect e-cigarette-related and other substance-related promotional content and contexts (eg, healthy lifestyle) used for the promotion of these products on social media, providing valuable data for TRS.
Proton internal pressure from deeply virtual Compton scattering on collider kinematics

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The unique experimental connection to the QCD energy–momentum tensor offered by generalised parton distributions has been strongly highlighted in the past few years with attempts to extract the pressure and shear forces distributions within the nucleon. If, in principle, this can be performed in a model independent way from experimental data, in practice, the current limited precision and kinematic coverage make such an extraction very challenging. Moreover, the limitation to a leading-order description in the strong coupling of the data has provided only an indirect and weakly sensitive access to gluon degrees of freedom, solely through their mixing to quarks via evolution. In this paper we address this issue by providing a next-to-leading order formalism allowing a reanalysis of global fits with genuine gluonic degrees of freedom. In addition, we provide an estimate of the reduction in uncertainty that could stem from the extended kinematic range relevant for the future Electron Ion Collider. Finally, we stress the connection between the analysis of the dispersion relation in terms of generalised parton distributions and the deconvolution problem.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this work, we investigate the weak decays of ground-state triply heavy baryons. We first obtain the form factors using the light-front quark model in the three-quark picture, and then apply them to arrive at some phenomenological predictions, including the decay widths of semileptonic decays and nonleptonic decays. Our results are expected to be helpful for the experimental search for triply heavy baryons.
