Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundDistraction techniques using smartphones to watch cartoon videos and play videogames have been successfully used to reduce preoperative anxiety in school children. However, the literature about the use of video‐based preoperative information technique for anxiety reduction in that age group still remains understudied with conflicting results. We hypothesized that there would be no meaningful difference in anxiety score at induction period between the information‐based video versus self‐selected video distraction technique.MethodsEighty‐two children between 6 and 12 years undergoing surgery were randomized to self‐selected video (n = 41) and information‐based video (n = 41) distraction group in this prospective, randomized, noninferiority trial. Children in self‐selected video group were shown video of their choice using smart phones, while children in the information‐based video group were shown video of operation theater (OT) set up and induction procedure. The children were taken inside operating room along with parents watching the respective videos. Modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m‐YPAS), just before induction of anesthesia was recorded as the primary outcome. Induction compliance checklist score, anxiety of the parents, and short‐term postoperative outcomes in 15 days (telephonically) were recorded as secondary outcomes.ResultsThe mean difference in the baseline mYPAS score (95% CI) between the two groups was −2.7 (−8.2 to 2.8, p = .33) and −6.39 (−12.74 to −0.44, p = .05) just before the induction period. The upper bound of the 95% CI did not cross the value of 8, which was the noninferiority margin decided prior to study commencement. 70.73% cases had perfect induction in the self‐selected video distraction group, compared to 68.29% in the information‐based video group. After 15 days of postoperative follow‐up, participants in the self‐selected video group had a larger proportion of negative outcomes (53.7%) compared to information‐based video group (31.7%), p = .044.ConclusionInformation‐based technique using smart phone is non inferior to self‐selected video‐based distraction‐based technique in decreasing PA with an additional advantage of decreasing postoperative short‐term negative outcomes.Trial RegistrationCTRI identifier: CTRI/2020/03/023884.

AbstractPacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei), the most cultured crustacean in the world, has become one of the key species in the international aquatic trade accounting for 11.96% of the total aquaculture production value in 2020. The development of the aquafeed industry, especially the large‐scale use of fish meal (FM) and fish oil, contributed to promoting the expansion of shrimp production. However, the supply of FM has fluctuated at about 5 million tons per year affected by the El Nino during the last decades. This finite supply in combination with continued demand contributes to high prices, prompting the development and use of alternative protein sources. This review contributes to the development of appropriate FM replacement strategies in shrimp feed and summarises the status of research on alternative protein sources, including plant, animal and single‐cell proteins in commercial feeds for Pacific white shrimp. Furthermore, several key aspects of nutritional balances were mentioned including amino acid profiles, fatty acid nutrients and trace elements in low FM diets as well as some easily overlooked concepts that deserve attention such as epigenetics, feed processing characteristics, animal growth stages, and shrimp species improvement. Also, the prospects of future research are proposed including the application of advanced technologies (16S rRNA sequencing, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics), developments in the new feed additives, along with the optimisation of new protein sources and the establishment of a precise nutritional programming for shrimp.
Policy advisory systems and public policy making: Bibliometric analysis, knowledge mapping, operationalization, and future research agenda

Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study offers a comprehensive overview of the literature on policy advisory systems (PAS), motivated by its significance, growing interest in the field among policy scholars, and the substantial body of recent research published recently. The study conducted a quantitative bibliometric analysis of 62 articles on PAS published between 1993 and 2022, using data extracted from the Web of Science and Scopus databases. The analysis included performance analysis, collaboration analysis, and science mapping (co‐citation and co‐word analysis). The dataset comprises articles published in 29 different journals, with 17.2% of these journals publishing three or more articles on PAS. Of the 80 authors in the dataset, 78.8% had only one publication. Over the past 5 years, there has been a 69% increase in the production of research on PAS, with the majority of output coming from Canada, Australia, Germany, and the Netherlands. The intellectual structure of the field was examined through co‐citation analysis, revealing two main clusters named dynamics of PAS and Policy Advice & Policy Analysts' Role. The former focuses on the variations and dynamics of PAS, while the latter is more concerned with the nature of policy advice and the role of policy analysts. The co‐word analysis identified the most relevant issues linked with PAS, including policy advice, externalization, politicization, and policy capacity. The study has also provided operationalization of the concept with the support of empirical evidence and categorized it into internal and external PAS. Externalization is the dominant trend in Anglophone countries, while public service in Europe and Canada has been the focus of internal PAS research. The study identifies gaps in the literature and calls for further research on the application of PAS in the Global South, the demand for policy advice, and comparative analysis of PAS across different contexts and dimensions.
Developmental deviations in happy victimization across early childhood predict behavioral adjustment in middle childhood
Authors: Wong Tracy K. Y. , Colasante Tyler , Malti Tina 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis study examined whether the development of happy victimizing (HV) from early to middle childhood predicted prosocial and aggressive behaviors 3 years later. Participants included 150 children (50% female, Mage at study onset = 4.53 years) and their parents at four annual time points. At each time point, semi‐structured interviews were conducted to assess children's emotional expectations after committing hypothetical transgressions. Child and parent reports of children's prosocial behaviors and aggression were provided at the beginning and end of the study. Children who experienced faster declines in HV reported higher prosocial behaviors 3 years later, controlling for initial levels of prosocial behaviors. Children who exhibited increases or lesser declines in HV reported higher aggression at the study end. The development of HV was not related significantly to parent reports of prosocial behaviors and aggression in middle childhood. Findings confirm theorizing on the normative developmental trajectory of HV and suggest that deviations in HV across early childhood may partially explain later behavioral adjustment.
Olfactorizing religious education
Authors: Khetrapal Neha 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe scientific study of religion has steered toward materiality. Herein, researchers have highlighted the intricate role of the human body and its sensorium for perceiving objects. With this trend, a text‐based approach to religion has become less prominent. However, parallel exploratory efforts have been underreported for religious education except the limited pedagogical emphasis placed on visual aspects of religious objects. Here, an attempt to olfactorize religious education is documented. Olfactorization has been documented both as a learning strategy wherein students are encouraged to form associations between scents (real or mentally imagined) and images/words and as a means of highlighting the olfactory materiality of religious objects. The means approach paired with a “cognitive ethnographic” methodology is expected to help students to reinterpret the existing meanings of object‐centered religious traditions whereas the learning strategy approach is expected to spill over to other (nonreligious) domains of learning.

Purpose: To assess the effects of a sleep hygiene strategy on parameters of sleep quality and quantity in youth elite rugby union players. Method: Eleven male players (age: 19.0 [1.4] y) undertook a sleep hygiene strategy composed of 2 theoretical sessions and 3 practical sessions over a 4-week period. Sleeping time, time in bed, total sleep time, sleep latency (SL), sleep efficiency (SE), wake after sleep onset, and wake bouts were recorded with an actigraphic device during the 4-week sleep hygiene strategy (baseline) and during 4 weeks after the last intervention (postintervention). Results: At baseline, the overall group reported poor sleep quantity (total sleep time = 6:27 [0:30] min), but sleep quality was considered acceptable (SL = 0:18 [0:08] min and SE = 77.8% [5.8%]). Postintervention, the overall group showed a small improvement in SL (d = −0.23 [−0.42 to −0.04], P = .003) and SE (d = 0.30 [0.03 to 0.57], P = .0004). For individual responses, sleeping time, time in bed, and total sleep time were positively influenced in only 4, 3, and 5 players, respectively. For parameters of sleep quality, SL and SE were positively influenced in a majority of players (n = 7 and 8, respectively). The magnitude of difference between baseline and postintervention was strongly associated with baseline values in SE (r = −.86; P = .0005) and wake after sleep onset (r = −.87; P = .0007). Conclusion: A sleep hygiene strategy is efficient to improve sleep quality but not sleep quantity in young rugby union players. The strategy was more efficient in players with lower initial sleep quality and should be implemented prior to a high cumulative fatigue period.

Published: June 2023

BackgroundPerinatal asphyxia may be followed by multiple organ dysfunction (MOD) and is often included in prognostication of the individual patient, but evidence of discriminating accuracy is lacking. The aim of this study was to assess whether MOD in asphyxiated neonates during therapeutic hypothermia (TH) predicts mortality or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 24 months of age and which peripartum variables are associated with the onset of MOD.MethodsA retrospective analysis of a prospective cohort study of asphyxiated newborns undergoing TH was performed. MOD was defined as dysfunction of the brain (encephalopathy) combined with two or more organ systems. Outcome was routinely assessed by standardised developmental testing at the age of 24 months. The predictive accuracy of MOD on the combined outcome and its components (death and NDI) was expressed as areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUROCs). The associations of peripartum variables and development of MOD were expressed as ORs and their CIs.Results189 infants (median gestation 40 (range 36–42 weeks) with moderate to severe hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy were included. 47% developed MOD. The prediction of the combined 24-month outcome or its components showed AUROCs <0.70. Associated with MOD were pH at birth (OR 0.97, CI 0.95 to 0.99), lactate at birth (OR 1.09, CI 1.04 to 1.15), Base Excess (BE) at birth (OR 0.94, CI 0.90 to 0.99) and epinephrine administration during resuscitation (OR 2.09, CI 1.02 to 4.40).ConclusionMOD has a low discriminating accuracy in predicting mortality or NDI at 24 months age and might not be useful for prognostication. Signs of acid–base disturbance and adrenalin use at birth are associated with the development of MOD.

ObjectiveThe Sport Mental Health Assessment Tool 1 (SMHAT-1) was introduced as a critical component to the athlete health evaluation. However, the effectiveness of the initial triage step questionnaire (Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire (APSQ)) has yet to be analysed within a National Olympic and Paralympic Committee delegation. This study evaluated the ability of the APSQ to identify athletes at risk for mental health concerns.MethodsAthletes completed the APSQ and all subsequent screening questionnaires of the SMHAT-1 as part of their Tokyo and Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games health history screening. Each questionnaire was scored according to published guidelines, and the false-negative rate (FNR) for the APSQ identifying athletes that were positively screened on the subsequent questionnaires was computed.Results1066 athletes from 51 different Olympic and Paralympic and Summer and Winter sports completed the SMHAT-1. The FNRs for all athletes who were positively screened on a subsequent questionnaire with an APSQ score of <17 ranged from 4.8% to 66.7%. The global FNR for being positively screened onanyquestionnaire was 67.5%. Female, Paralympic and Winter athletes scored higher on one or more questionnaires compared with male, Olympic and Summer athletes, respectively (p<0.05).ConclusionDue to the high FNR of the APSQ detecting a potential mental health concern, we recommend athletes complete the APSQ and all subsequent questionnaires of the SMHAT-1 rather than using only the APSQ as an initial screening test.

BackgroundHaemodynamic instability and hypoxaemia are common and serious threats to the survival of neonates. A growing body of literature indicates that critical care ultrasound has become the optimal evaluation tool for sick neonates. However, few studies have described sonographic characteristics of haemodynamics systematically in the neonates with critical illness. This protocol describes a prospective observational cohort study aimed at (1) characterising the sonographic characteristics of the neonates with critical diseases; and (2) assessing the mortality, significant morbidity, utility of vasoactive medications, fluid resuscitation, duration of ventilation, etc.Methods and analysisThis is a single-centre, prospective and observational study conducted in Chengdu Women’s and Children’s Central Hospital from 1 December 2022 to 31 December 2027. Neonates admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit will be recruited. After inclusion, the neonates will undergo the neonatal critical care ultrasound. The data collected via case report forms include clinical variables and sonographic measures. The primary outcome is to identify the sonographic characteristics of sick neonates with different diseases, and the secondary outcome is to describe the mortality, significant morbidity, utility of vasoactive medications, fluid resuscitation and duration of ventilation.DiscussionOur study provided an organised neonatal critical care ultrasound workflow, which can be applied in practice. Accordingly, this study will first set up large data on the sonographic description of the neonates with critical illness, which can help to understand the pathophysiology of the critical illness, potentially titrating the treatment.Trial registration numberChinese Clinical Trial Registry (ChiCTR2200065581;https://www.chictr.org.cn/com/25/showproj.aspx?proj=184095).
Social inequalities, stressful work and non-fatal cardiovascular disease: follow-up findings from the CONSTANCES Study
Authors: Siegrist Johannes , Goldberg Marcel , Zins Marie , Wahrendorf Morten 
Published: June 2023

BackgroundStudies show that a disadvantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) and psychosocial stress at work are both independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). But it is not clear if the effect of stress at work on CVD varies by SEP.MethodsWe used baseline and follow-up data from the French population-based cohort study CONSTANCES, including 48 383 employed women and men aged 30–70 years. Three SEP indicators (education, income, occupation), stressful psychosocial work as measured by effort–reward imbalance, pre-existing CVD and confounders were assessed at baseline, and incident non-fatal CVD events reported during annual follow-up (up to five follow-ups) were used as outcomes. The effect modification hypothesis was both investigated on an additive and multiplicative scale.ResultsSEP was inversely associated with CVD risk (eg, for low vs high income, OR 1.28 (95% CI 1.12 to 1.46)), and for all three components of stressful work CVD risks were significantly increased (eg, for effort–reward ratio OR 1.26 (95% CI 1.17 to 1.36)). Employees with a disadvantaged SEP showed moderately increased effect sizes of stressful work on CVD. However, no clear evidence of an effect modification was found.ConclusionsDisadvantaged SEP and stressful work contribute to higher CVD risk in this cohort. Despite moderately increased effect sizes for disadvantaged SEP groups, no evidence was found to support an effect modification hypothesis.

Published: June 2023

In this study, 3D numerical conjugate heat transfer modeling is used to investigate the thermal and hydraulic characteristics of the microchannel heat sink (MCHS) with different configurations of novel ogive shape ribs on channel walls. It was found that new proposed MCHS configurations with ogive ribs have a high Nusselt number as compared to the smooth MCHS because ogive ribs enhance the heat dissipation between channel walls and fluid by continuously interrupting the thermal boundary layer development. MCHS configuration with ogive ribs mounted on bottom wall improves the Nusselt number of smooth MCHS by 1.13–1.87 times, while MCHS with ogive ribs mounted on both side walls and MCHS with ogive ribs mounted on bottom channel wall improve Nusselt number by 1.12–1.70 and 1.08–1.59 times, respectively, at Re 100–1000. In terms of thermal enhancement factor criterion, the MCHS with ogive ribs on side walls shows superior performance at Re 100–300 and has the highest thermal enhancement factor. While MCHS with ogive ribs on bottom wall outperformed other configurations in terms of thermal enhancement factor at Reynold number > 300. A maximum thermal enhancement factor of 1.42 is reported for MCHS with bottom wall ribs ogive at Re = 1000.
Spatial Scene Memories Are Biased Towards a Fixed Amount of Semantic Information
Authors: Greene Michelle R. , Trivedi Devanshi 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Scene memory has known spatial biases. Boundary extension is a well-known bias whereby observers remember visual information beyond an image’s boundaries. While recent studies demonstrate that boundary contraction also reliably occurs based on intrinsic image properties, the specific properties that drive the effect are unknown. This study assesses the extent to which scene memory might have a fixed capacity for information. We assessed both visual and semantic information in a scene database using techniques from image processing and natural language processing, respectively. We then assessed how both types of information predicted memory errors for scene boundaries using a standard rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) forced error paradigm. A linear regression model indicated that memories for scene boundaries were significantly predicted by semantic, but not visual, information and that this effect persisted when scene depth was considered. Boundary extension was observed for images with low semantic information, and contraction was observed for images with high semantic information. This suggests a cognitive process that normalizes the amount of semantic information held in memory.
Socioreligious Aspects of 217 Women’s Letters in Egypt, 300 BC–AD 800
Authors: De Luca Luigi M. , Armey Laura 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Egyptian women’s religious expressions in papyrus letters (Bagnall and Cribiore, 2006) were divided into five categories: None, no god(s) mentioned; Pray, containing “Pray” without gods; Gods, for Greek Gods; Sarapis/local Gods/προσκυνήµα for letters containing prayers in which obeisance before a God is expressed in the Egyptian reverential manner, a προσκυνήµα; Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός letters to the Christian God. The None category is prevalent during the early 300 BC to 100 AD period followed by an increase in, and then stable, formulaic/religious expressions. The Pray category peaked in the second and third centuries AD, and the Gods category, referring to pagan Gods, showed a steady and significant decline from the first to the fourth century AD inverse to the rise in prevalence of letters in the Θεός/Κύριος/Χριστός category. The shift to monotheism with Christianity is rendered in graphic form, and permits an appreciation of feminine popular sentiment on religion and its Gods in Egypt.
The Investor-State Dispute Settlement Damages Playbook: To Infinity and Beyond
Authors: Boué Juan Carlos 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The evolution of claimed damages valuation in investor-State dispute settlement (ISDS) has raised concerns with States, who are coming to believe that quantum is out of control. The magnitudes keep growing of ISDS claims predicated on speculative assumptions that render the future operations of claimants extremely profitable. Further, the common approach to inflating ISDS by means of discounted cash flow (DCF) calculations, is being boosted by novel and complex methodological approaches beyond the grasp of most arbitrators. Case examples illustrate how claimants and their experts have successfully exploited structural defects of ISDS to exaggerate quantum by overwhelming adjudicators with evidence inadmissible in a court setting. A string of indefensible decisions and exaggerated claims raises the possibility that investors may even be motivated to promote expropriation of projects, because of the prospect of inflated damages claims down the road.
