Interdevice Agreement between a Smartphone and a Commercial Pupillometer
Authors: Rattan Yamini , Girgla Kawalinder Kaur , Mahajan Gaurav , Prasher Pawan 
Published: February 2024

Abstract

Background:
The reliability of dynamic pupillometry parameters varies from one pupillometer to another, making it difficult to standardize the values for any particular device. Hence, further studies are required to evaluate the agreement of various pupillometer devices and explore their utility in routine clinical settings.

Aim:
This study sought to evaluate the agreement between smartphone and commercial pupillometer measurements in routine clinical settings.

Methods:
The study included pupillary measurements obtained by a single investigator from 100 healthy participants (200 eyes) with each pupillometer. Pupillary measurements taken by a smartphone pupillometry application (reflex pupillary light reflex analyzer by Brightlamp [Indianapolis, IN, USA]) were compared with a commercial pupillometer (neurological pupil index-200, NeurOptics Inc., Irvine, USA).

Results:
The comparison of descriptive statistics revealed a statistically significant difference between the smartphone and commercial pupillometers for various parameters, including maximum diameter, minimum diameter, constriction velocity (CV), maximum CV, and dilatation velocity (P < 0.05), except for latency (P = 0.36). The intraclass correlation coefficient revealed poor agreement between the two devices (<0.50).

Conclusion:
The measurements by smartphone pupillometry application were found to be unreliable, indicating that they may not be an ideal substitute for commercial pupillometers in their present form in the Indian population. Further studies with larger sample size as well as improvements in the processing and interpretation of the measurements by the software, are needed to determine its utility in routine clinical settings.

ABSTRACT.
Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a globally distributed nematode and the leading cause of eosinophilic meningitis in humans. As a global hotspot for this disease, Hawaii’s agricultural exports may be contributing to the spread of A. cantonensis. Phytosanitary irradiation doses of 150 or 400 Gy provide quarantine security against multiple insect pests. We evaluated the in vitro and in vivo effects of phytosanitary irradiation on infectious, third-stage, A. cantonensis larvae. In vitro experiments directly exposed larvae to irradiation doses ranging from 200 to 1,000 Gy. Results showed low mortality and no dose response across all treatments 27 days post-irradiation. In vivo studies isolated larvae from wild-caught Parmarion martensi after exposure to x-ray irradiation at doses of 0, 150, and 400 Gy and infected them into laboratory rats. Fourteen rats were assigned to each treatment and infected with 50 larvae from their assigned irradiation dose. Results at 3 and 6 weeks post-infection demonstrated a significant negative dose response in regard to the number of larvae that migrated to the brain and adults found in the pulmonary artery. No irradiated larvae that grew into adults were able to produce eggs. These findings indicate that x-ray irradiation does not result in the direct mortality of A. cantonensis larvae; however, it does affect the infectivity and reproduction of A. cantonensis within its definitive host, the rat. Phytosanitary irradiation at doses ≥150 Gy appears to be an effective means of preventing the establishment of viable populations of A. cantonensis, thus reducing the potential for global spread due to agricultural exports from Hawaii.

AbstractBackgroundWe evaluated site suitability, early survival, and growth performance forJuniperus procera,Olea europaeasubsp.cuspidata,Vachellia abyssinica,Hagenia abyssinica, andAfrocarpus falcatusin the urban landscape of Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.MethodsThe MaxEnt model was used to evaluate site suitability for the 5 indigenous species. For the early survival study, experimental plots were established and 500 seedlings, 100 seedlings for each species, were planted on 2021 July 15 and monitored until 2022 February 30 for a total of 225 days. Silvicultural activities such as mulching, weeding, and watering were conducted. Every 45 days, measurements of height, root collar diameter (RCD), death, damage, wilting, and defoliation were recorded.ResultsThe result of the study indicated that the Addis Ababa area is well to moderately suitable to grow the 5 species. Mean survival rates marginally declined over the course of 225 days, from 99.6% at 45 days after planting to 90.4% at 225 days after planting. EighteenV. abyssinicaseedlings were found to be dead. Wild animals browsed and damaged 45% ofO. europaeaseedlings.H. abyssinicahad the highest growth performance. The study shows that, relative to the other 4 species,V abyssinicahad a greater number of wilted, defoliated, and dead seedlings.ConclusionEach of the 5 species had a high rate of early survival and found the urban environment to be suitable. This result will assist in the shift away from planting only exotic tree species in green spaces and encourage the presence of indigenous tree species.

Authors: Boone Anna E. , Perry Casey , Henderson Whitney L. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
Importance: Some people experience persistent symptoms after a concussion that greatly affect occupational performance.
Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and preliminary effect of metacognitive strategy training in a sample of adults with postconcussive symptoms.
Design: Single-group, prospective design.
Setting: University research laboratory.
Participants: Adults with persistent concussive symptoms affecting function (N = 14).
Intervention: Ten 45-min sessions of a metacognitive strategy training intervention, Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP).
Outcomes and Measures: Assessed feasibility outcomes included recruitment, retention, and adherence rates, and intervention acceptability was evaluated with the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire–8. The preliminary effect was measured on occupational performance (Canadian Occupational Performance Measure), concussive symptoms (Neurobehavioral Symptom Inventory), sleep (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Inventory), vision (College of Optometrists in Vision Development–Quality of Life Outcomes Assessment), and cognition outcomes (Dysexecutive Questionnaire, Weekly Calendar Planning Activity, and National Institutes of Health Toolbox Cognition Battery).
Results: Acceptable recruitment (32%), retention (93%), and adherence rates (100%) were observed, along with a high level of acceptability to participants. Large intervention effects were present for occupational performance, general concussive symptoms, and cognitive functioning.
Conclusions and Relevance: Findings suggest that the CO-OP is feasible to administer for adults with postconcussive symptoms and perceived as suitable for the needs of this population. Feasibility findings, coupled with improvements in occupational performance outcomes, provide the foundation for a future larger scale trial.
Plain-Language Summary: The Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance intervention is practical to use to address the functional impact of persistent concussive symptoms in adults. Further research is needed to evaluate the efficacy of the CO-OP intervention with this population.
Food and World Culture
Authors: Watts Linda , Clark-Mahoney Kelty 
Published: February 2024

This book uses food as a lens through which to explore important matters of society and culture. In exploring why and how people eat around the globe, the text focuses on issues of health, conflict, struggle, contest, inequality, and power.
Whether because of its necessity, pleasure, or ubiquity, the world of food (and its lore) proves endlessly fascinating to most people. The story of food is a narrative filled with both human striving and human suffering. However, many of today's diners are only dimly aware of the human price exacted for that comforting distance from the lived-world realities of food justice struggles. With attention to food issues ranging from local farming practices to global supply chains, this book examines how food’s history and geography remain inextricably linked to sociopolitical experiences of trauma connected with globalization, such as colonization, conquest, enslavement, and oppression.
The main text is structured alphabetically around a set of 70 ingredients, from almonds to yeast. Each ingredient's story is accompanied by recipes. Along with the food profiles, the encyclopedia features sidebars. These are short discussions of topics of interest related to food, including automats, diners, victory gardens, and food at world’s fairs. This project also brings a social justice perspective to its content—weighing debates concerning food access, equity, insecurity, and politics.

Food Culture in Spain
Authors: Medina F. Xavier 
Published: February 2024

Spanish food culture has evolved around strong regional cuisines and representative elements. This volume offers an overview of Spanish food and eating habits, taking into account a long and complex history, plus distinctive social, cultural, linguistic, geographic, political, and economic characteristics. Spain’s location at the crossroads of Europe and North Africa has made it a gastronomic melting pot, with Arab influences and New World ingredients particularly noted. Readers will learn about the unique food culture in each region and how food practices and dishes in the Iberian Peninsula have developed over the centuries. Typical dishes and drinks, especially the Spanish wines, are described in context, with many accompanying recipes.
Gastronomy in Spain has always been of utmost importance. Recently, the new Spanish gastronomy has taken center stage with internationally recognized chefs. Spaniards are shown to be extremely social eaters and drinkers who like to eat out. The everyday routine of eating out, such as at work and school, is clarified as well. Home cooking and the Spanish kitchen get special attention. Finally, although Spanish food has always been associated with the highly touted Mediterranean diet, health concerns about current eating trends are discussed. A timeline, a chronology, and illustrations round out the coverage.
Food Culture in Sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Osseo-Asare Fran 
Published: February 2024

East African, notably, Ethiopian, cuisine is perhaps the most well-known in the States. This volume illuminates West, southern, and Central African cuisine as well to give students and other readers a solid understanding of how the diverse African peoples grow, cook, and eat food and how they celebrate special occasions and ceremonies with special foods. Readers will also learn about African history, religions, and ways of life plus how African and American foodways are related. For example, cooking techniques such as deep frying and ingredients such as peanuts, chili peppers, okra, watermelon, and even cola were introduced to the United States by sub-Sahara Africans who were brought as slaves.
Africa is often presented as a monolith, but this volume treats each region in turn with representative groups and foodways presented in manageable fashion, with a truer picture able to emerge. It is noted that the boundaries of many countries are imposed, so that food culture is more fluid in a region. Commonalities are also presented in the basic format of a meal, with a starch with a sauce or stew and vegetables and perhaps some protein, typically cooked over a fire in a pot supported by three stones. Representative recipes, a timeline, glossary, and evocative photos complete the narrative.
Latino Food Culture
Authors: Janer Zilkia 
Published: February 2024

Latino cuisine has always been a part of American foodways, but the recent growth of a diverse Latino population in the form of documented and undocumented immigrants, refugees, and exiles has given rise to a pan-Latino food phenomenon. These various food cultures in the United States are expertly overviewed here together in depth for the first time. Many Mexican American, Cuban American, Puerto Ricans, Dominican American, and Central and South American communities in the United States are considered transnational because they actively participate in the economy, politics, and culture of both the United States and their countries of origin. The pan-Latino food culture that is emerging in the United States is also a transnational phenomenon that constantly nurtures and is nurtured by national and regional cuisines. They all combine in kaleidoscopic ways their shared gastronomic wealth of Spanish and Amerindian cuisines with different African, European and Asian culinary traditions. This book discusses the ongoing development of Latino food culture, giving special attention to how Latinos are adapting and transforming Latin American and international elements to create one of the most vibrant cuisines today.
This is essential reading for crucial cultural insight into Latinos from all backgrounds. Readers will learn about the diverse elements of an evolving pan-Latino food culture-the history of the various groups and their foodstuffs, cooking, meals and eating habits, special occasions, and diet and health. Representative recipes and photos are interspersed in the essays. A chronology, glossary, resource guide, and bibliography make this a one-stop resource for every library.

Avaliação psicológica da criança em tempos de neurocultura e neoliberalismo
Authors: Giacomini Fabíola , Santos Filho Francisco Carlos dos , Cenci Ângelo Vitorio 
Published: February 2024

Propõe-se uma reflexão crítica inicial sobre as modificações no modo de avaliar crianças pela Psicologia na atualidade, na qual parece estar caindo em desuso o modelo de avaliação próprio da psicologia - o psicodiagnóstico – e, em lugar dele, estar assumindo ou o substituindo, a avaliação neuropsicológica. Esta última, é solicitada frequentemente por neurologistas, para onde, atualmente, crianças com alguma desordem ou desadaptação escolar têm sido encaminhadas pelas escolas, e retornam diagnosticadas com transtorno do neurodesenvolvimento. A partir de uma postura hermenêutica-compreensiva, fundamentada na Psicanálise, Psicologia, Filosofia e Sociologia, objetiva-se enlaçar o tema às categorias de sujeito neoliberal, sujeito cerebral e neurocultura, problematizando a influência do DSM-V. Discute-se o sentido do acréscimo do prefixo psico à sexualidade, feito por Freud em 1905, desamarrando a sexualidade da suposta determinação biológica e, atualmente, o registro de uma espécie de retorno ao neurocentrismo. Ao final, propõe-se alternativas a partir do psicodiagnóstico interventivo e subjetivante.

Avenida de Mayo, platanowa aleja w Buenos Aires. Rok 1942. Pod cieniami wysokich drzew przechodzi mężczyzna w czarnej dwurzędowej marynarce. Jest wysoki, ale nieśmiały i tak samo nieśmiało uchyli kapelusza, kiedy powita go portier Hotelu Madrid, do którego ten wysoki i nieśmiały właśnie zmierza. W torbie niesie opasły rękopis – „wiązkę dokumentów z ziemi nadberezyńskiej, ujętych w formie powieści”1. W małym gabinecie na piętrze przyjmie go za chwilę profesor Wacław Radecki, znany psycholog i organizator życia polonijnego w Argentynie. Mężczyzna w dwurzędowej marynarce wchodzi teraz ciężko po schodach. Denerwuje się. Za oknami cienie platanowej Avenida de Mayo, a on myśli o lasach dawnego Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Ten mężczyzna to Florian Czarnyszewicz, a ten rękopis „znaleziony” w Buenos Aires to Nadberezyńcy, epos, który za kilka tygodni zachwyceni czytelnicy okrzykną „Panem Tadeuszem XX wieku” i na trzech kontynentach ulegną „wpływowi tego narkotyku”, by przeczytać – jak Czesław Miłosz – „jednym tchem 577 stronic dużego formatu”2. A działo się to wówczas, kiedy w tej samej Argentynie Witold Gombrowicz dopiero zbierał materiały do swego Trans-Atlantyku.
