The State of Arizona in the south-western United States supports a high diversity of insects. Digitised occurrence records, especially from preserved specimens in natural history collections, are an important and growing resource to understand biodiversity and biogeography. Underlying bias in how insects are collected and what that means for interpreting patterns of insect diversity is largely untested. To explore the effects of insect collecting bias in Arizona, the State was regionalised into specific areas. First, the entire State was divided into broad biogeographic areas by ecoregion. Second, the 81 tallest mountain ranges were mapped on to the State. The distribution of digitised records across these areas were then examined.A case study of surveying the beetles (Insecta, Coleoptera) of the Sand Tank Mountains is presented. The Sand Tanks are a low-elevation range in the Lower Colorado River Basin subregion of the Sonoran Desert from which a single beetle record was published before this study.The number of occurrence records and collecting events are very unevenly distributed throughout Arizona and do not strongly correlate with the geographic size of areas. Species richness is estimated for regions in Arizona using rarefaction and extrapolation. Digitised records from the disproportionately highly collected areas in Arizona represent at best 70% the total insect diversity within them. We report a total of 141 species of Coleoptera from the Sand Tank Mountains, based on 914 digitised voucher specimens. These specimens add important new records for taxa that were previously unavailable in digitised data and highlight important biogeographic ranges.Possible underlying mechanisms causing bias are discussed and recommendations are made for future targeted collecting of under-sampled regions. Insect species diversity is apparently at best 70% documented for the State of Arizona with many thousands of species not yet recorded. The Chiricahua Mountains are the most densely sampled region of Arizona and likely contain at least 2,000 species not yet vouchered in online data. Preliminary estimates for species richness of Arizona are at least 21,000 and likely much higher. Limitations to analyses are discussed which highlight the strong need for more insect occurrence data.

Daniel O’Connell, désigné comme le « Libérateur » par ses compatriotes pour lesquels il personnifiait la dignité retrouvée, a transformé le nationalisme irlandais et bousculé l’ordre politique au Royaume-Uni dans la première moitié du xixe siècle. Il « s’est incarné un peuple », écrivait de lui Balzac. Orateur charismatique, il s’est distingué comme fer de lance d’une agitation populaire inédite et comme député à Westminster, à la pointe du combat contre l’esclavage. Il est aussi devenu une référence sur la scène internationale, alors que l’Irlande faisait figure de laboratoire de la modernité démocratique. Son parcours éclaire la riche expérience de mobilisation collective qui a rendu les catholiques irlandais acteurs de la conquête pacifique de nouveaux espaces du politique. Ce « moment O’Connell » de l’histoire irlandaise offre une mise en perspective des débats actuels sur l’incarnation en politique, à l’heure de la crise de la démocratie représentative et de la montée des populismes.
Étude exploratoire des pratiques de veille des professionnels des bibliothèques universitaires
Authors: Slouma Maher , Pébayle Emmanuelle Chevry 
Published: June 2023

Cet article vise à étudier les pratiques de veille exercées par les professionnels des bibliothèques universitaires. Pour ce faire, nous avons recueilli des témoignages des bibliothécaires chargés de veille que nous avons identifiés à l’aide d’une observation non participante en ligne. Les résultats se répartissent sur quatre thèmes complémentaires : (1) d’abord, les bibliothécaires ont une conception de la veille liée au contexte d’application de cette activité dans leurs établissements ; (2) ensuite, la veille pratiquée par les bibliothécaires est plutôt une veille informationnelle issue majoritairement d’initiatives individuelles et qui consiste à surveiller l’environnement informationnel des bibliothèques sans objectifs précis, ni une véritable exploitation des résultats obtenus ; (3) concernant les pratiques de veille et leur évolution, les avis sont mitigés : alors que certains attribuent cette évolution à l’évolution de leurs besoins informationnels, d’autres la renvoient à l’évolution des outils ; (4) enfin, les bibliothécaires déplorent un manque de formation régulière et une absence d’intégration de l’activité de veille dans une stratégie globale dans les bibliothèques.
Édito - Description des vécus et interpellation des acteurs. Nouvelles improvisations à venir
Authors: Daguzon Marc , Moussay Sylvie 
Published: June 2023

Ce numéro de la revue Recherches en éducation explore la notion de développement professionnel de manière critique. Il entend marquer le pas d’une époque en mutation. Il s’agit d’actualiser l’utilité de cette notion. Pour profiler des perspectives et des positionnements scientifiques renouvelés, il était important de décrire, finement, les stratégies d’implication sur les terrains comme d’impulser des travaux prometteurs. L’intérêt est d’armer ainsi les jeunes chercheurs pour continuer à innover en sciences de l’éducation et de la formation, sur des bases d’études à la fois contextuelles, datées mais en lien avec l’historique de diffusion de cette notion : le développement professionnel, qu’est-ce que c’est ? La question des liens productifs entre recherche et formation est ainsi clairement interpellée dans ce numéro. Outre les besoins de définition et d’assise pour comprendre ce que désigne le développement professionnel qui ouvre le numéro, les huit articles qui composent l’ensemble décrivent finement ce qui fait la subtilité des situations de travail observées parce que situées professionnellement. Les auteurs révèlent et relèvent en quoi chaque situation transforme le sujet, les collectifs, pointe plus ou moins de performativité, ce qui permet de dessiner une ligne de continuum reliant chaque métier aux activités situées : professer, vendre, soigner, former, etc. produit, à chaque fois, sa dynamique propre de développement professionnel, et permet aussi de dégager des transversalités.
Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy Type 2B (LGMD2B) Caused by Pathogenic Splice and Missense Variants of DYSF Gene Among Iranians with Muscular Dystrophy
Authors: Arab Fatemeh , Ahangari Najmeh , Malek Hadis , Doosti Mohammad , Najarzadeh Torbati Paria , Ghayoor Karimiani Ehsan 
Published: June 2023

Background:
The phenotypic range of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies (LGMDs) varies significantly because of genetic heterogeneity ranging from very mild to severe forms. Molecular analysis of the DYSF gene is challenging due to the wide range of mutations and associated complications in interpretations of novel DYSF variants with uncertain significance. Thus, in the current study, we performed the NGS analysis and its results are confirmed with Sanger sequencing to find the plausible disease-causing variants in patients with muscular dystrophy and their relatives via segregation analysis.

Materials and Methods:
Nine patients with LGMD type 2B (LGMD2B) characteristics were screened for putative mutations by the whole-exome sequencing (WES) test. Either the patients themselves or their parents and first relatives were investigated in the segregation analysis through Sanger sequencing. The majority of variants were classified as pathogenic through American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) guidelines, segregation results, and in silico predictions.

Results:
Results revealed eight variants in DYSF gene, including three splicing (c.1149+4A>G, c.2864+1G>A, and c.5785-7G>A), two nonsense (p.Gln112Ter and p.Trp2084Ter), two missense (p.Thr1546Pro and p.Tyr1032Cys), and one frameshift (p.Asp1067Ilefs), among nine Iranian families. One of the eight identified variants was novel, including p.Asp1067Ilefs, which was predicted to be likely pathogenic based on the ACMG guidelines. Notably, prediction tools suggested the damaging effects of studied variants on dysferlin structure.

Conclusion:
Conclusively, the current report introduced eight variants including a novel frameshift in DYSF gene with noticeable pathogenic effects. This study significantly can broaden the diagnostic spectrum of LGMD2B in combination with previous reports about DYSF mutations and may pave the way for a rapidly high-ranked identification of the accurate type of dysferlinopathy.

Authors: Sharbafchi Mohammad Reza , Malekian Azadeh , Ahmadzadeh Zahra , Torkian Samaneh , Baharizadeh Alireza , Zarean Elham 
Published: June 2023

Background:
One of the most debilitating symptoms in breast cancer survivors is cancer-related fatigue (CRF). CRF weakens patients' physical, cognitive, and occupational functions. It is associated with poorer quality of life and may reduce recurrence-free and overall survival. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of a group psychoeducational intervention in improving CRF in breast cancer patients.

Materials and Methods:
Fifty breast cancer patients who suffered from CRF were randomly assigned to receive a group psychoeducational intervention or control group. This study was designed as an eight weeks clinical trial. The psychoeducational intervention mainly consisted of concentrative movement therapy and energy conservation strategies. Primary outcome measures were the changes in the Fatigue Visual Analogue scale, Cancer Fatigue scale, and Piper Fatigue scale at the study endpoint. Measure assessments were made on four occasions: at baseline, after the intervention, one week, and four weeks post intervention. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS26.

Results:
The intervention improved CRF significantly (P < 0.001). All subscales of the Cancer Fatigue scale and the sensory, affective, and cognitive subscales of the Piper Fatigue scale showed statistically significant effects (P < 0.001) at all time points. However, the behavioral subscale of the Piper Fatigue scale was different only at the end of the study (P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
The group psychoeducational intervention improved CRF significantly. All the sensory, behavioral, physical, affective, and cognitive subscales improved. Accessible and confirmatory treatment can help patients to cope with fatigue in communities.
Clinical, Laboratory, Radiological, and Genetic Characteristics of Pediatric Patients with Alagille Syndrome
Authors: Isa Hasan M. , Alahmed Fawzeya A. 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Alagille syndrome (ALGS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by JAG1 or NOTCH2 mutation. It is diagnosed by the presence of three out of five features: characteristic facies, posterior embryotoxon, peripheral pulmonary stenosis, vertebral defects, and interlobular bile duct paucity. This study aimed to review the prevalence, clinical presentations, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of patients with ALGS.

Materials and Methods:
This is a retrospective review of patients with ALGS at the Pediatric Department, Salmaniya Medical Complex, Bahrain, between August 1994 and October 2022. The diagnosis was based on clinical, laboratory, radiological, histopathological, and genetic findings.

Results:
Five patients were found to have ALGS. The prevalence of ALGS in Bahrain was 1.04 patients per 100,000 (0.001%). Four were Bahraini and three were females. Median birth weight was 2.3 (2.3–2.5) kg. All patients presented at the time of birth with low birth weight, cholestatic jaundice, clay-colored stool, heart murmur, and dysmorphic facial features. All had congenital heart diseases, two had butterfly vertebrae, and one had posterior embryotoxon. All had elevated liver enzymes and normal abdominal ultrasound. Three had positive hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid scan and one had bile duct paucity in liver biopsy. Three had intraoperative cholangiogram. Four were positive for JAG1 mutation. All received ursodeoxycholic acid and fat-soluble vitamins. Two required liver transplantation.

Conclusion:
ALGS is a rare disorder in Bahrain. Diagnosis is challenging as the disease can be associated with or misdiagnosed as biliary atresia. Patients with ALGS are at high risk of morbidity either by unnecessary intraoperative cholangiogram or unavoidable liver transplantation.

Authors: Emami Maryam , Kheirabadi Gholamreza , Fallahi Mona 
Published: June 2023

Background:
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of Lieberman community return program on reducing positive and negative symptoms and improving social skills in people with schizophrenia.

Materials and Methods:
In this clinical trial study, 58 patients with schizophrenia were randomly allocated into two groups of 29. The first group received 16 sessions of Lieberman community return training and the second group received routine care as a control group. All patients were evaluated before intervention and 1 and 3 months after intervention using the Matson Social Skills Questionnaire and Negative and Positive Symptoms Assessment Scale and compared between the two groups.

Results:
Evaluation of negative symptoms showed that the dimensions of affective flattening, avolition, anhedonia–asociality, attention, and alogia in the intervention group decreased significantly over time (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was seen in the control group. The mean score of positive symptoms such as hallucinations, delusion, inappropriate affect, and formal thinking disorder in the intervention group were decreased significantly (P < 0.05), but no significant difference was seen in the control group. Appropriate social skills and overall skill score were increased significantly in the intervention group over time (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:
Lieberman community return program is likely to reduce the symptoms of schizophrenia and increase patients' social skills.
Dosimetric comparison of three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, intensity-modulated radiation therapy, and volumetric-modulated arc therapy for free-breathing whole-breast irradiation: A planning study
Authors: Czeremszynska Beata , Socha Joanna , Rygielska Anna , Walewska Agnieszka , Gabor Marta , Pruska-Pich Dorota , Osowiecka Karolina , Kepka Lucyna 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Currently, recommended heart dose constraints are difficult to meet in whole-breast irradiation (WBI) for left-sided breast cancer patients, who cannot be treated with the deep inspiration breath hold. We performed a radiotherapy planning study to establish if the use of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) or volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT) allows for better sparing of the heart and its subvolumes than the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3D-CRT), and how these attempts affect the dose delivered to the other organs.

Methods:
A total of 17 left-sided and 10 right-sided consecutive patients treated with free-breathing WBI were retrospectively included. The 3D-CRT, IMRT, and VMAT plans were generated. Several dose–volume parameters and plan quality indices were compared, separately for the left- and right-sided plans.

Results:
All the techniques fulfilled the planning objectives. In the left-sided plans, there was no heart or left ventricle dose reduction with IMRT, nor with VMAT; the maximum dose in the left anterior descending coronary artery was reduced with VMAT (P = 0.005); V5 for the contralateral breast, contralateral lung, and total-body increased markedly in VMAT, and for the ipsilateral lung (V5IL) also in IMRT, compared with 3D-CRT (P < 0.001). In the right-sided plans, the V5 values, except for V5IL, did not differ between the three techniques.

Conclusions:
IMRT and VMAT had a limited heart-sparing benefit in the left-sided free-breathing WBI, at the cost of increased low-dose volumes, measured by V5. The low-dose volumes are not increased by IMRT or VMAT in the right-sided WBI, where heart sparing is not a problem, but the attempts to reduce cardiac doses in the left-sided WBI increase them.
Impact of spirituality on patient memories of intensive care unit stays: A nationwide cross-sectional study
Authors: Vahedian-Azimi Amir , Salesi Mahmood , Hssain Ali A. , Baghernezhad Farzaneh , Miller Andrew C. 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Absent or delusional memories are experienced by many patients following an intensive care unit (ICU) stay. Up to 70% may have delusional or hallucinatory intrusive memories, which may persist long term. This study aims to investigate how spiritual health (SH) impacts ICU patients’ memories and quality of communication (QoC) between patients and physicians (PP) or nurses (PN).

Methods:
This cross-sectional study was conducted across the country on ICU patients discharged from 45 medical centers in 31 provinces of Iran, to evaluate the direct and indirect effects of SH and ICU characteristics on patients’ memory. Two valid and standard ICU memory tools (ICU-MT) and SH questionnaires were administered to patients 1 day post-ICU discharge used.

Results:
No significant direct effect of SH scores on ICU-MT items was observed. No significant correlation was observed between PP-QoC and PN-QoC variables and primary items of the ICU-MT. Female sex positively correlated with the development of delusional memories (odds ratio [OR]: 1.730, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.025–2.915, P < 0.05). Subjects admitted to the medical ICU were less likely to remember being in the ICU (OR: 0.398, 95% CI: 0.159–0.996, P < 0.05), and were less likely to report intrusive memories from their time in the hospital or events that led to their admission (OR: 0.19, 95% CI: 0.086–0.419, P < 0.001).

Conclusions:
The results of this study indicate that the spiritual health indirectly increased coping with intrusive memories, however, no direct effect was observed on ICU-MT items. The quality of communication between patients and physicians and nurses significantly mediated development of intrusive memories.
Retrospective evaluation of dexmedetomidine dosing in a cohort of neurologically injured obese critically ill patients
Authors: He Harrison , Atyia Sara A. , Smetana Keaton S. , May Casey C. 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background:
Dexmedetomidine is used in neurocritical care units (NCCUs) due to the light, dose-dependent sedation, and anxiolysis provided. It is unknown how to dose dexmedetomidine in obese patients. The primary objective is to assess the ability to achieve the goal Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale (RASS) measurements in obese patients with a neurological injury who are solely on dexmedetomidine before and after an institutional dosing change from actual body weight (ABW) to adjusted body weight (AdjBW).

Methods:
This study included patients admitted to the NCCU with a neurological condition, required dexmedetomidine for at least 8 h as a sole sedative, and weighed ≥120% of ideal body weight. Percentage of RASS measurements within the goal range (−1 to +1) during the first 48 h while on dexmedetomidine were compared between patients dosed on ABW and on AdjBW.

Results:
Sixty-eight patients in the ABW cohort and 72 patients in the AdjBW cohort were included. There were no statistical differences between the two groups (ABW vs. AdjBW) in the percent of RASS measurements in the goal range (53.2% ± 34.8% vs. 55% ± 37%; P = 0.78), mean weight (99.2 ± 26 vs. 96.8 ± 20.9 kg; P = 0.55), or the average dose of dexmedetomidine required to achieve first goal RASS score (0.4 ± 0.3 vs. 0.4 ± 0.3 mcg/kg/h; P = 0.98).

Conclusions:
Dosing dexmedetomidine using AdjBW in obese critically ill neurologically injured patients for ongoing sedation resulted in no statistical difference in the percent of RASS measurements within the goal when compared to ABW dosing. Further studies are warranted.
Prevalence of Oral Manifestations in Coronavirus Disease 2019-Infected and Vaccinated Geriatric Patients: A Clinical Survey
Authors: Oberoi Naveen , Sharma Riddhi , Singh Ravpreet , Singh Jaspreet 
Published: June 2023

Aim:
The aim of the study was to scrutinize the prevalence of oral manifestations encountered among the geriatric patients that got coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection during the pandemic and also among the patients that were partially or fully vaccinated.

Settings and Design:
This study was a clinical survey.

Materials and Methods:
A questionnaire was prepared which consisted of patient’s generic details, personal history, previous medical and drug history, and relevant details about COVID-19 infection and vaccination that are needed to record. The questions were designed in such a manner so that a common person can easily understand and answer. The study was conducted on geriatric patients after screening from the outpatient department (OPD) and patients that visited the Department of Prosthodontics and Crown and Bridge. The patient’s approval was obtained, and consent was obtained for participation in the survey. The necessary instructions were explained to the patients in their native language. A total of 2519 patients aged 65 or above participated in this study over a duration of 121 working days. Emergency OPD cases, nongeriatric patients, uncooperative patients, and patients with poor compliance were excluded from the clinical survey.

Statistical Analysis Used:
Percentage evaluation and graphical representation of data.

Results:
The results stated that approximately 72% of participated patients suffered from COVID-19 infection, of which the majority of population had dry mouth (xerostomia) and a significant number had aphthous ulcer along with general body symptoms and weakness, whereas the other oral symptoms that happened were insignificant in number. Further, it was also observed that the patients vaccinated partially or fully, had fever, malaise, headache, as a general symptoms and in oral manifestations, only dry mouth (xerostomia) were statistically significant.

Conclusion:
It was concluded that almost every geriatric patient that recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic presented with one or the other oral signs and symptoms. Moreover, either partially or fully vaccinated patients had also shown a significant number of oral manifestations irrespective of whether they were COVID-19 infected or not.
