BackgroundPolicies and strategies addressing the health inequities experienced by First Nations peoples are critical to ensuring the gap in outcomes between First Nations and non‐Indigenous peoples is closed. The identification of First Nations peoples is vital to enable the delivery of culturally safe and sensitive health care. Complete and accurate health data are essential for funding and evaluation of such initiatives.AimsTo describe the processes used and accuracy of identification and documentation of First Nations mothers and babies during the period of the implementation of a culturally responsive caseload model of maternity care at three major metropolitan maternity services in Melbourne, Australia.Materials and methodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted using administrative and clinical data.ResultsThere was variation in when and how First Nations identification was asked and documented for mothers and babies. Errors included 14% of First Nations mothers not identified at the first booking appointment, 5% not identified until after the birth and 11% of First Nations babies not identified in the Victorian Perinatal Data Collection documentation. Changes to documentation and staff education were implemented to improve identification and reduce inaccuracies.ConclusionsTo improve disparities in health outcomes, mainstream health services must respond to the needs of First Nations peoples, but improved care first requires accurate identification and documentation of First Nations peoples. Implementing and maintaining accuracy in collection and documentation of First Nations status is essential for health services to provide timely and appropriate care to First Nations people and to support and grow culturally appropriate and safe services.

AbstractPurposeTo investigate the surgical and pharmacological management and outcomes of patients with cataract and concurrent uveitis.MethodsData from the Swedish National Cataract Register, 2018–2019, were collected and analysed. Uveitic eyes were identified and eyes without uveitis were used as controls. Generalized estimating equations were used to adjust for intra‐individual correlation.ResultsThe study included 719 eyes with and 256 360 without uveitis. The mean age was 66.0 ± 13.5 (standard deviation [SD]) years in the uveitis group and 74.3 ± 8.7 years in the control group (p < 0.001). Surgery was associated with more intraoperative difficulties in eyes with uveitis (27.0%) than in control eyes (7.1%; p < 0.001). Posterior capsule rupture/zonular complications were registered in nine eyes with uveitis (1.3%) and in 1464 eyes without uveitis (0.6%; p = 0.02). Hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lenses (uveitis 3.6%, controls 1.2%) and subconjunctival steroids (uveitis 17.4%, controls 6.1%) were more frequently used in eyes with uveitis (p < 0.001). post‐operative best‐corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.16 ± 0.38 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR, mean ± SD) in eyes with uveitis (n = 52) and 0.08 ± 0.20 in control eyes (n = 14 489; p = 0.008).ConclusionIn this large registry‐based Swedish cohort study, the findings demonstrate that cataract surgery in patients with uveitis poses more challenges and requires special surgical precautions. Eyes with concurrent uveitis had worse BCVA prior to and following surgery. Despite the intraoperative challenges, the visual improvement was greater in the uveitic group.
The effect of erythroferrone suppression by transfusion on the erythropoietin–erythroferrone–hepcidin axis in transfusion‐dependent thalassaemia: A pre–post cohort study
Authors: Zaman Burhan Abdullah , Rasool Suzan Omer , Abdo Jassim Mohammed 
Published: December 2022

SummaryTo track post‐transfusion changes on the erythropoietin (EPO)–erythroferrone (ERFE)–hepcidin axis, we collected blood samples from 82 regularly transfused patients with β‐thalassaemia major (β‐TM) immediately before and 4–6 days after transfusion. The post‐transfusion haemoglobin, hepcidin, and ferritin levels were increased, while the EPO, ERFE, and soluble transferrin receptor were suppressed. In addition, hepcidin change was inversely associated with erythropoietic change, which was confirmed by an increase in the hepcidin‐to‐ERFE ratio after transfusion. Age was the main predictor of serum ERFE, followed by EPO, transfusion frequencies, and ferritin. We found ERFE to be a highly sensitive indicator of erythroid activity in β‐TM and that the hepcidin‐to‐ERFE ratio after transfusion may be used as an appropriateness index of serum hepcidin regulation relative to the degree of erythropoiesis.
Precarious engagements and the politics of knowledge production: Listening to calls for reorienting hegemonic social psychology
Authors: Reddy Geetha , Amer Amena 
Published: December 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we invite psychologists to reflect on and recognize how knowledge is produced in the field of social psychology. Engaging with the work of decolonial, liberation and critical psychology scholars, we provide a six‐point lens on precarity that facilitates a deeper understanding of knowledge production in hegemonic social psychology and academia at large. We conceptualize knowledge (re)production in psychology as five interdependent ‘cogs’ within the neoliberal machinery of academia, which cannot be viewed in isolation; (1) its epistemological foundations rooted in coloniality, (2) the methods and standards it uses to understand human thoughts, feelings and behaviours, (3) the documentation of its knowledge, (4) the dissemination of its knowledge and (5) the universalization of psychological theories. With this paper we also claim our space in academia as early career researchers of colour who inhabit the margins of hegemonic social psychology. We join scholars around the world in calling for a much‐needed disciplinary shift that centres solutions to the many forms of violence that are inflicted upon marginalized members of the global majority. To conclude, we offer four political‐personal intentions for the reorientation for the discipline of hegemonic social psychology with the aim to disrupt the politics of knowledge production and eradicate precarity.
Directionality in the interrelations between approximate number, verbal number, and mathematics in preschool‐aged children
Authors: Mou Yi , Zhang Bo , Hyde Daniel C. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractA fundamental question in numerical development concerns the directional relation between an early‐emerging non‐verbal approximate number system (ANS) and culturally acquired verbal number and mathematics knowledge. Using path models on longitudinal data collected in preschool children (Mage = 3.86 years; N = 216; 99 males; 80.8% White; 10.8% Multiracial, 3.8% Latino; 1.9% Black; collected 2013–2017) over 1 year, this study showed that earlier verbal number knowledge was associated with later ANS precision (average β = .32), even after controlling for baseline differences in numerical, general cognitive, and language abilities. In contrast, earlier ANS precision was not associated with later verbal number knowledge (β = −.07) or mathematics abilities (average β = .10). These results suggest that learning about verbal numbers is associated with a sharpening of pre‐existing non‐verbal numerical abilities.

AbstractThe fimbrin protein family contains a variety of proteins, among which Plastin1 (PLS1) is an important member. According to recent studies, variations in the coding region of the PLS1 gene are associated with the development of deafness. However, the molecular mechanism of deafness caused by PLS1 gene variants remains unknown. Whole‐exome sequencing was performed on hearing‐impaired family members and hearing family members to identify pathogenic variants, followed by Sanger sequencing. A minigene assay was conducted to investigate the effect of the variant on PLS1 mRNA splicing. The pathogenicity of the variant was further investigated in zebrafish. RNA‐sequencing (RNA‐seq) was performed to analyze the dysregulation of downstream signaling pathways caused by knockdown of PLS1 expression. We identified a novel variant, PLS1 c.981+1G>A, in a large Chinese family with hearing loss and showed that the variant is responsible for the occurrence of hearing loss by inducing exon 8 skipping. The variant caused abnormal inner ear phenotypes, characterized by decreases in the mean otolith distance, anterior otolith diameter, posterior otolith diameter, cochlear diameter, and swimming speed and distance in zebrafish. Furthermore, silencing PLS1 expression significantly upregulated the expression of genes in the PI3K‐Akt signaling pathway, including Col6a3, Spp1, Itgb3 and hepatocyte growth factor (Hgf). PLS1 c.981+1G>A is a novel pathogenic variant causing hearing loss by inducing exon 8 skipping. Upregulation of the expression of genes in the PI3K‐Akt signaling pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis caused by variants in the PLS1 gene.

“Something for everyone”: Ownership as a moving target in Swedish and British regional foreign aid to Africa
Authors: Söderbaum Fredrik , Stapel Sören , Wennergren Sally 
Published: December 2022

SummaryMotivationRegionalism in Africa is to a large extent financed from the outside, which has given rise to a deep‐seated ownership problem. African actors and donors struggle with whether the ownership deficit derives from unequal donor–recipient relationships or recipient‐related weaknesses. This study goes beyond these debates and adds new insights by exploring the preconceived notions, ideas, and practices of ownership within the donor agencies themselves.PurposeThe article explores the ownership of regional foreign aid to Africa through three generic questions: what is meant by “ownership” in a regional setting?; who are the “owners”?; and what strategies and activities are enacted to ensure ownership of regional foreign aid?Methods and approachThe study is based on a paired comparison of Sweden and the United Kingdom. While both are large donors of regional aid to Africa, they have diverging approaches to ownership. The empirical material consists of official regional strategies, internal planning documents, aid evaluations and more than 20 semi‐structured interviews with Swedish and British officials based both in headquarters and in field offices.FindingsThe meanings and principles, considerations about “owners,” as well as strategies and activities to strengthen ownership frequently change over time and for different actors. In both Sweden and the UK, ownership means different things to different officials. Internal contestations between top‐level and field‐based officials reinforce the ambiguities and contradictions within each donor agency. Contrary to expectations, there is more diversity within the Swedish aid machinery than in the British.Policy implicationsIn contrast to the widespread belief among both donors and African‐based actors that the ownership problem results from asymmetric donor–recipient relationships and/or weak African commitment to regional integration, the study shows that policy‐makers need to shift their attention towards the goals, strategies, and internal practices within donor agencies themselves.
Assessing Artemisia lavandulaefolia as a trap plant for managing Apolygus lucorum in tea plantations

Published: December 2022

AbstractGreen plant bugs Apolygus lucorum Meyer‐Dür (Hemiptera: Miridae) are among the most important piercing‐sucking insect pests of the tea plant Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze (Theaceae) and severely reduce the quality and economic benefits of tea. The preference of A. lucorum for tea plants and weed hosts, including Humulus scandens (Lour.) (Moraceae), Artemisia lavandulaefolia DC., Conyza canadensis (L.) Cronq, and Artemisia annua L. (all Asteraceae), was evaluated using an olfactometer bioassay. Volatiles from weed host plants were analyzed by electronic nose and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The A. lucorum adults had a significant preference for the volatiles from A. lavandulaefolia compared to volatiles from tea. Myrcene, 1,8‐cineole, and sabinene were the three dominant components in the A. lavandulaefolia flower volatiles. Artemisia lavandulaefolia was selected as a trap plant to assess the attractiveness to A. lucorum and the effects on natural enemies. The population density of A. lucorum on A. lavandulaefolia planted in tea plantations was significantly higher than that on tea. In particular, in tea fields with A. lavandulaefolia at 2 m spacing, the number of A. lucorum on trap strips of A. lavandulaefolia was higher than on tea at 10, 20, and 30 m away from the trap strips. The trap strips of A. lavandulaefolia also promoted a small increase in the presence of natural enemies in the tea agroecosystem, especially lacewings. Our research indicated that planting A. lavandulaefolia as a trap plant at 2 m spacing has the potential to manipulate the population of A. lucorum in tea plantations.

AbstractInland capture fisheries in many parts of the world, especially in developing nations, receive relatively low governance priority, thereby raising concerns about their sustainability. Consequently, most inland capture fisheries are data‐limited, which renders conventional capture fisheries assessment methods inapplicable for making science‐based monitoring and management decisions. Three recent data‐limited approaches for marine fish stock assessments using length frequency and catch data (Length‐Based Indicators [LBI], Growth‐Type Groups Length‐Based Spawning Potential Ratio [GTG‐LBSPR] and Catch Maximum Sustainable Yield [CMSY]), were explored for applicability to assess stock status of three commercially exploited finfish species, Daysciaena albida, Eleutheronema tetradactylum and Mugil cephalus, in Chilika lagoon, an inland water body along the east coast of India. The LBI and GTG‐LBSPR approaches are based on catch length‐frequency data, while the CMSY is based on catch‐only data. The LBI provided insight into current exploitation status of the three species in relation to sustainable fishing, the GTG‐LBSPR provided reference points (RP) for the unfished portion of spawning biomass and relative yield in relation to selectivity, and the CMSY provided RPs for MSY, biomass and fishing pressure that yield MSY, to assess stock status and fishery management decisions. All three approaches suggested that the three species were overfished in terms of catch length and quantity, which agreed with expert knowledge of the fishery in the lagoon. All three approaches can support management and policy decisions in inland fisheries and fishery management recommendations. Future research should explore and standardise such approaches to overcome data limitations in assessing and managing inland capture fisheries.

Published: December 2022

AbstractIntroductionModerate haemophilia has traditionally been associated with less complications than severe haemophilia. Changes in treatment recommendations have highlighted the burden of moderate haemophilia with a subset of patients with a severe bleeding phenotype. The ankle joint is disproportionally affected by ankle haemarthropathy however the impact has not been evaluated in moderate haemophilia, nor the effect on health related quality of life (HRQoL) or foot and ankle outcomes.AimsTo establish the impact of ankle haemarthropathy in patients with moderate haemophilia.MethodsA multicentre questionnaire study recruited patients from 11 haemophilia centres in England, Scotland and Wales. The HAEMO‐QoL‐A and Manchester‐Oxford foot and ankle questionnaire (MOXFQ) with total and domain scores measured impact. Measures of pain and ankle haemophilia joint health (HJHS) scores were also collected.ResultsTwenty‐nine participants were recruited. HAEMO‐QoL A mean (SD) total scores of 10.8 (5.2) of 100 (best health) and foot and ankle specific MOXFQ total scores of 45.5 (24.7) above zero (best outcome) indicate poor HRQoL and foot and ankle outcomes. Average ankle pain over past 6 months of (0–10) 5.5 (SD2.5) was reported and median (IQR) ankle HJHS of 3.0 (1;12.5) to 4.5 (0;9.5) for the left and right ankles.ConclusionHRQoL and foot and ankle specific outcomes are poor in patients with moderate haemophilia and ankle haemarthropathy, driven by chronic levels of ankle joint pain. Despite moderate haemophilia being considered less affected by haemarthrosis and haemarthropathy, patients with a bleeding or haemarthropathy phenotype are clinically similar to patients with severe haemophilia A.

Published: December 2022

AbstractOxide ceramic matrix composites (O‐CMCs) have a high potential for usage in thermal protection systems or combustion chambers because of their low weight, temperature‐ and corrosion stability as well as non‐brittle failure behavior. Mechanical property changes over their lifetime due to operational loads are not well understood. Moreover, mechanical properties from planar samples under laboratory conditions often differ substantially from upscaled components with complex geometries. In this work, the influences of curvature and preloading conditions were investigated experimentally using modeling to determine boundary conditions. Effects of curvature and trends among preload conditions were determined, with high‐cycle‐fatigue‐preload (HCF) reducing strength and Young’s Modulus by 15% compared to their original values where low‐cycle‐fatigue‐preload (LCF) had smaller effect. The low impacts of high temperatures and small‐to‐medium loads on the properties of O‐CMCs makes them an interesting choice for high‐temperature combustive environments.

AbstractAimTo report participants’ and facilitators’ experiences of mental health promotion, prevention, and early‐intervention training program targeted at school nurses in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).BackgroundThe UAE school healthcare service is staffed by full‐time nurses and part‐time doctors and linked to primary healthcare centers. This service supports children's physical and mental well‐being. However, school nurses’ capacity to realize the potential of this service, particularly regarding mental health, has not yet been explored.MethodsWe used an exploratory qualitative approach with data triangulation. Data were drawn from school nurses that participated in a targeted mental health promotion, prevention, and early‐intervention training program. Data were gathered through focus group interviews with participating school nurses, written reflections, and notes recorded by the program designers and trainers. All school nurses who participated in the training program (N = 15) were included in this study. This study adhered to the consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research.ResultsNurses’ narratives encompassed three main themes, which indicated the program was an enjoyable professional and personal journey that allowed professional discovery/development and personal growth. Program organizers/facilitators indicated the training program was important, but challenging to implement. Four themes emerged from their reflections that covered the structure of school nursing services, participants’ competency and education, the UAE context, and teaching style.ConclusionA well‐structured professional development program can contribute to improving mental healthcare in schools. Improved service structure and regulations to support this goal are essential.Implications for nursing practice, research, and policySchool nurses benefit professionally and personally from targeted mental health training, which also improves the care students receive. School healthcare service managers should consider increasing such training opportunities for nurses and focus on measuring service outcomes and evaluating effectiveness. It is also necessary to reassess the minimum qualification requirement for school nurses. Specific professional development programs for school nurses will improve their clinical practice and support the recruitment of competent and prepared staff.
