Reflections on Cross-Modal Correspondences: Current Understanding and Issues for Future Research
Authors: Motoki Kosuke , Marks Lawrence E. , Velasco Carlos 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The past two decades have seen an explosion of research on cross-modal correspondences. Broadly speaking, this term has been used to encompass associations between and among features, dimensions, or attributes across the senses. There has been an increasing interest in this topic amongst researchers from multiple fields (psychology, neuroscience, music, art, environmental design, etc.) and, importantly, an increasing breadth of the topic’s scope. Here, this narrative review aims to reflect on what cross-modal correspondences are, where they come from, and what underlies them. We suggest that cross-modal correspondences are usefully conceived as relative associations between different actual or imagined sensory stimuli, many of these correspondences being shared by most people. A taxonomy of correspondences with four major kinds of associations (physiological, semantic, statistical, and affective) characterizes cross-modal correspondences. Sensory dimensions (quantity/quality) and sensory features (lower perceptual/higher cognitive) correspond in cross-modal correspondences. Cross-modal correspondences may be understood (or measured) from two complementary perspectives: the phenomenal view (perceptual experiences of subjective matching) and the behavioural response view (observable patterns of behavioural response to multiple sensory stimuli). Importantly, we reflect on remaining questions and standing issues that need to be addressed in order to develop an explanatory framework for cross-modal correspondences. Future research needs (a) to understand better when (and why) phenomenal and behavioural measures are coincidental and when they are not, and, ideally, (b) to determine whether different kinds of cross-modal correspondence (quantity/quality, lower perceptual/higher cognitive) rely on the same or different mechanisms.
Welfare in Crisis: Labor and Social Protection in the Global South
Authors: Lin Jake , Arnold Dennis , Nguyen Minh T.N. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Welfare expansion in the global South is partly in response to the social crises caused by neoliberal restructuring since the 1980s, with the 2008 global financial crisis escalating them, and the covid-19 pandemic further exposing the impact on the most precarious working populations. What are the new dynamics of labor struggles against these structural, industrial, and health crises under the expansion of social protection or the lack thereof? How do the state and non-state actors manage recurring and new capitalist crises by reconfiguring labor and social policies? The contributions in this special issue address these questions by engaging with workers’ lived experiences across the global South and post-communist states. They show that current labor and social policies fail the test under various crises. We argue that the neoliberalization of labor and welfare reconfigurations and the recurring crises of global capitalism have reproduced each other in these global South countries.
Time, Co-Creation and Collaborative Research: Moving from a Sympathetic Commonality towards Empathetic Distance
Authors: Schneider Luisa T. 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Prioritizing empathetic distance over sympathetic commonalities enables inclusive and collaborative research that attends to relationships in all their forms, even those based on negative emotions or opposition. Exploring how emotions and positionalities influence rapport allows anthropologists to explore “what is” rather than solely seeking “what if” or “what ought to be.” A multi-temporal understanding of research time as commitment and relation emphasizes the importance of rapport, positionality, and depth. This raises the question of how to balance researchers’ desire to control research endeavors with institutional demands to reduce time spent on research and its follow-up, and the need to conduct fieldwork in ways that align with the values of our collaborators. How much control are we willing to relinquish to empower the people with whom we do research, and what outcomes can we expect? By sharing the benefits, risks, and challenges of relinquishing control, I examine the tension between academic epistemology and lived experience, trust and security, engaged and vulnerable ethnography, and research bureaucracy.
Ethical Recursivity: Reconciling Ethics and Action in a Publicly Engaged Anthropology
Authors: Wolf Anna-Lena 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
While anthropologists have been cautious to avoid essentialism, the notion “informant” in anthropology’s promotion of scholar-informant solidarity has been surprisingly undifferentiated. Based on my experience of interlocutors’ heterogeneity during my fieldwork on Assam tea plantations, I illustrate the ambiguity, porosity and mutability of the category of the “informant.” I argue that the general imperative to support informants occludes that there are multiple interlocutors with different, at times conflicting, claims. Therefore, a (conscious or unconscious) decision about whom among the multiple interlocutors to support in the field of study seems inevitable. Inspired by the epistemological concept of recursivity, drawn from the recent framework of a recursive anthropology, I suggest ethical recursivity as one possible answer to the question on what ethical grounds anthropologists could base their decision about whom among the multiple (marginalized) interlocutors they show solidarity to, in order to reconcile ethical premises and actions within a publicly engaged anthropology.
Implementation Research in Mathematics Education: A Systematic Mapping Review
Authors: Ahl Linda Marie , Helenius Ola , Aguilar Mario Sánchez , Jankvist Uffe Thomas , Misfeldt Morten , Prytz Johan 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We present the results of a systematic literature review of research articles that self-identify as describing the implementation of innovations from mathematics education research in educational practice. We classified 103 articles according to study type, the type of teaching/learning phenomenon the implementation targeted, and whether the innovation carrier was a curriculum reform, professional development, or a curriculum resource. We found that interest in implementation research increased from a modest number of published studies prior to 2003 to a peak in 2021. Other results highlight that projects that targeted teaching in line with the U.S. National Council of Teachers of Mathematics process standards were dominant when curricular reform acted as a carrier. Planning and design aspects of such projects were rarely reported, and projects were rarely discussed theoretically. Instead, such projects were commonly researched by studying teachers’ reform enactment. We discuss the consequences of this imbalance.

A Democratic Education
Authors: Kleinberg S. S. 
Published: November 2023

The paper is concerned with the applicability of the concept of democracy to education. More specifically I am concerned with the role of democracy in education, as distinct from questions about the kind of education appropriate in a democratic society.
My discussion is based on a conventional distinction between two kinds of democracy, democracy as a form of government, and democracy as an attitude to life.
My main concern is the former. I take A. S. Neill as an example of someone who professes a belief in this kind of democracy in an educational context. I seek to show that the kind of educational government which might seem implicit in a commitment to ‘educational democracy’ does not take place at Summerhill and that in any case Neill's writings show him to be opposed to this kind of government. Democratic government in education, I suggest, is in fact sufficiently radical as to be incompatible with compulsory schooling.
The second kind of democracy is briefly discussed and it is maintained that this notion can be fully understood only when the basic questions of educational debate have been answered, and thus that it is a mistake to believe that any appeal to it can help answer these questions.
The Effects of Student-Pupil Interaction
Authors: Mearns D. J. , Hobbs A. , Crozier Sheena 
Published: November 2023

A group of students on a post-graduate teacher training course took part in a Reluctant Learner Project. On one afternoon a week for a term, each student took a small group of comprehensive school pupils from a low stream class out of school and engaged in mutually agreed activities.
A Semantic Differential test was administered before and after the Project to the College students taking part and to a control group of other students. No significant differences between the Project and Control groups existed on the Pre-Test.
Various differences emerged between the Pre- and Post-Tests, and between the Project and Control groups on the Post-Test. These included:
(1) The Project group showed a significant decrease in their evaluation of self and of the education system but a significant increase in their evaluation of low stream pupils.
(2) Both groups showed a significant decrease in their evaluation of the college course, but this was significantly less in the case of Project students.
Head Teachers’ Estimates and Student Performance
Authors: Wilson John D. 
Published: November 2023

Headteachers’ estimates for 95 per cent of the arts and science students who entered Aberdeen University in 1967 were related to first year and degree examination performance. Estimates from the application form included a rating for hard work and level of degree, as well as a letter of recommendation. An additional rating was obtained on a short check list.
Heads see women as better prospects than men, but men with weak performance are more accurately predicted than women. Good students are more predictable than weak students. Neither letter of recommendation, nor specific ratings, discriminated very well (especially for arts women), but specific ratings were generally superior, the best being for hard work and perseverance. Heads from the university region gave more accurate reports for most students than heads from other parts of the country, but the latter's estimates were more accurate for science women.
The niche of think tanks in a consensus – seeking and neo-corporatist policy advisory system
Authors: Fraussen Bert , Pattyn Valérie 
Published: November 2023

While think tanks are no longer solely a feature of Anglo-Saxon countries, they still appear less prevalent in consensus-oriented and neo-corporatist political regimes. To what extent do central characteristics of these countries shape the organizational characteristics and political activities of think tanks? We theoretically contribute to the existing literature on policy advice by drawing inspiration from niche theory, and empirically complement previous work by focusing on think tanks in Belgium, a country with a crowded and closed advisory landscape. Relying on a combination of data sources, our analysis highlights three central features of think tanks: (1) the long-term and anticipatory character of their policy advice, (2) the evidence-based nature of their policy work, and (3) their consensus-oriented mode of operating. The first two features echo what earlier studies in pluralist setting identified as key distinguishing characteristics. The third feature, their consensus-oriented mode of operating, represents a new element that turns out critical for understanding the niche of think tanks in Belgium. Its consensus-style tradition shows not only in how think tanks position themselves externally, but also in their internal organizational structure. Points for practitioners - Think tanks have potential to be key providers of policy advice, also in relatively closed systems with neo-corporatist traits. - In such settings, think tanks especially benefit from a consensual mode of operating, both internally and externally. - The long-term orientation of think tanks can set them apart from other providers of policy advice, such as interest groups and political party think tanks.

Background Intracranial bleeding (ICB) is a serious complication during veno-venous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-V ECMO), with potentially fatal consequences. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, time of detection of ICB among patients treated with V-V ECMO and potential risk factors for developing ICB during V-V ECMO. Methods Five hundred fifty six patients were included in this retrospective single center analysis. Results Median time on V-V ECMO was 9 (IQR 6-15) days. Intracranial bleeding during V-V ECMO was detected in 10.9% of all patients (61 patients with ICB). Only 17 patients with ICB presented obvious clinical symptoms. Intracranial bleeding was detected on cerebral imaging in median after 5 days (IQR 1-14) after starting V-V ECMO. Overall survival to hospital discharge was 63.7% (ICB: 29.5%). Risk factors of ICB before starting V-V ECMO in univariable analysis were platelets <100/nl (OR: 3.82), creatinine >1.5mg/dl (OR: 1.98), norepinephrine >2.5mg/h (OR: 2.5), ASAT >80U/L (OR: 1.86), blood-urea >100mg/dl (OR: 1.81) and LDH >550u/L (OR: 2.07). Factors associated with cannulation were rapid decrease in paCO2 >35mmHg (OR: 2.56) and rapid decrease in norepinephrine >1mg/h (OR: 2.53). Multivariable analysis revealed low platelets, high paCO2 before ECMO, and rapid drop in paCO2 after V-V ECMO initiation as significant risk factors for ICB. Conclusion The results emphasize that ICB is a frequent complication during V-V ECMO. Many bleedings were incidental findings, therefore screening for ICB is advisable. The univariate risk factors reflect the underlying disease severity, coagulation disorders and peri-cannulation factors, and may help to identify patients at risk.
Testing Nonmonotonicity in Health Preferences

Published: November 2023

Objective The main aim of this article is to test monotonicity in life duration. Previous findings suggest that, for poor health states, longer durations are preferred to shorter durations up to some threshold or maximum endurable time (MET), and shorter durations are preferred to longer ones after that threshold. Methods Monotonicity in duration is tested through 2 ordinal tasks: choices and rankings. A convenience sample ( n = 90) was recruited in a series of experimental sessions in which participants had to rank-order health episodes and to choose between them, presented in pairs. Health episodes result from the combination of 7 EQ-5D-3L health states and 5 durations. Monotonicity is tested comparing the percentage rate of participants whose preferences were monotonic with the percentage of participants with nonmonotonic preferences for each health state. In addition, to test the existence of preference reversals, we analyze the fraction of people who switch their preference from rankings to choices. Results Monotonicity is frequently violated across the 7 EQ-5D health states. Preference patterns for individuals describe violations ranging from almost 49% with choices to about 71% with rankings. Analysis performed by separate states shows that the mean rates of violations with choices and ranking are about 22% and 34%, respectively. We also find new evidence of preference reversals and some evidence—though scarce—of transitivity violations in choices. Conclusions Our results show that there is a medium range of health states for which preferences are nonmonotonic. These findings support previous evidence on MET preferences and introduce a new “choice-ranking” preference reversal. It seems that the use of 2 tasks with a similar response scale may make preference reversals less substantial, although it remains important and systematic. Highlights Two procedures based on ordinal comparisons are used to elicit preferences: direct choices and rankings. Our study reports significant rates of nonmonotonic preferences (or maximum endurable time [MET]–type preferences) for different combinations of durations and EQ-5D health states. Analysis for separate health states shows that the mean rates of nonmonotonicity range from 22% (choices) to 34% (rankings), but within-subject analysis shows that nonmonotonicity is even higher, ranging from 49% (choices) to 71% (rankings). These violations challenge the validity of multiplicative QALY models. We find that the MET phenomenon may affect particularly those EQ-5D health states that are in the middle of the severity scale and not so much the extreme health states (i.e., very mild and very severe states). We find new evidence of preference reversals even using 2 procedures of a similar (ordinal) nature. Percentage rates of preference reversals range from 1.5% to 33%. We also find some (although scarce) evidence on violations of transitivity.

Published: November 2023

Background Nurses provide comprehensive, person-centred care to patients of all ages with any condition to save and protect lives. Caring for children under 5 years with burns involves high-level skills, agility and stable emotions. This study sought to explore nurses’ experience when managing children under five years with burns at the burns unit of a teaching hospital in Ghana. Methods An exploratory, descriptive qualitative approach was used with a purposive sampling method to recruit 15 participants at saturation from the Burns Unit. The interviews were conducted using a semi-structured interview guide. With participants’ consent, their voices were audio-recorded. Data were transcribed verbatim after the researchers listened to the audios several times. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. Results Narratives of the nurses were represented as emotional experiences, challenges and coping strategies associated with caring for children with burn injury. Mental representation of care task, grief and sadness, helplessness and impatience were identified as the emotional experiences. Increased workload, lack of adequate motivation and shortage of hospital supplies were the main challenges. Teamwork, good working relations, effective work-life balance and emotional detachment were the coping strategies the nurses adopted. Conclusion This study highlighted the experiences of nurses caring for children under five years with burns. The work environment of nurses created stress and increased the burden of care. Nurses need support to recognise and manage their physical, emotional and social responses to their work. In addition, periodic staff training must be promoted to boost staff confidence and enhance their efficiency on the job.
Identifying the optimal time period for detection of atrial fibrillation after ischaemic stroke and TIA: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized control trials

Published: November 2023

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischaemic stroke (IS) and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). The timely detection of first-diagnosed or “new” AF (nAF) would prompt a switch from antiplatelets to anticoagulation to reduce the risk of stroke recurrence; however, the optimal timing and duration of rhythm monitoring to detect nAF remains unclear. Aims: We searched MEDLINE, PubMed, Cochrane database, and Google Scholar to undertake a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCT) between 2012 and 2023 investigating nAF detection after IS and TIA. Outcome measures were overall detection of nAF (control; (usual care) compared to intervention; (continuous cardiac monitoring >72 h)) and the time period in which nAF detection is highest (0–14 days, 15–90 days, 91–180 days, or 181–365 days). A random-effects model with generic inverse variance weights was used to pool the most adjusted effect measure from each trial. Summary of review: A total of eight RCTs investigated rhythm monitoring after IS, totaling 5820 patients. The meta-analysis of the studies suggested that continuous cardiac monitoring was associated with a pooled odds ratio of 3.81 (95% CI 2.14 to 6.77), compared to usual care (control), for nAF detection. In the time period analysis, the odds ratio for nAF detection at 0–14 days, 15–90 days, 91–180 days, 181–365 days were 1.79 (1.24–2.58); 2.01 (0.63–6.37); 0.98 (0.16–5.90); and 2.92 (1.30–6.56), respectively. Conclusion: There is an almost fourfold increase in nAF detection with continuous cardiac monitoring, compared to usual care. The results also demonstrate two statistically significant time periods in nAF detection; at 0–14 days and 6–12 months following monitoring commencement. These data support the utilization of different monitoring methods to cover both time periods and a minimum of 1 year of monitoring to maximize nAF detection in patients after IS and TIA.
