Published: February 2025

Abstract
Research findings on the relationship between caring and health are mixed and call for a more nuanced analysis of the care situation. This study investigates cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between caring and depressive symptoms, considering location and type of care. Data come from the Survey of Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE), collected in wave 6 (from 2015 to 2016) and wave 8 (from 2019 to 2020). Cross-sectional data were available for 52.186 respondents in 18 countries. Of these, 18.659 were free of elevated depressive symptoms in wave 6 and were used to investigate incident depression in the longitudinal analyses. We distinguished between personal care, practical help, and paperwork, and were able to compare in-home and outside-home personal care. For both men and women, findings indicate that in-home personal care is associated with an increased risk of reporting and developing depressive symptoms (after controlling for age, country affiliation, education, wealth, employment situation, and functional limitations). Cross-sectional, but not longitudinal, associations were also found for outside-home care in terms of personal care or paperwork, but not for practical help. Additionally, women and disadvantaged population groups were more likely to provide in-home care, but less likely to provide outside care (regardless of the type). Overall, the results highlight that different locations and types of care are associated differently with mental health. Findings also underscore the need for interventions specifically tailored to support disadvantaged populations who provide in-home care, addressing the unique challenges they face.
The Contribution of Household Chaos and Fatigue to Maternal Stress
Authors: Vaschina Madeline , Gilmore Linda , Cuskelly Monica , Lurie Janine 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Parenting stress can be detrimental to child outcomes and there is evidence that both parental fatigue and household chaos are associated with the stress experienced by parents. There has been little investigation of the relative contributions these variables make to stress and even less consideration of the changes that may occur in the impact of and associations among these variables as children mature. This study explored the contribution of fatigue and household chaos to parental stress in a large sample of Australian mothers of children and adolescents. Participants completed the Parental Stress Scale, the Fatigue Assessment Scale and the Confusion, Hubbub and Order Scale. There was no group difference on the measure of stress. While parents of young children reported slightly higher levels of fatigue and household chaos than those of adolescents, effect sizes were small. Household chaos contributed to maternal stress over and above the impact of fatigue; however, there was a complex interaction between the effect of chaos and fatigue on stress. As the level of chaos increased, the impact of fatigue on maternal stress decreased. This interaction was not moderated by child age. As the data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, our considerations of the results of the study include some speculation about the influence of this on our results.
Evolution of Vortex Filaments and Reconnections in the Gross–Pitaevskii Equation and its Approximation by the Binormal Flow Equation
Authors: Arrayás M. , Fontelos M. A. , González M. D. M. , Uriarte C. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The evolution of a vortex line following the binormal flow equation (i.e. with a velocity proportional to the local curvature in the direction of the binormal vector) has been postulated as an approximation for the evolution of vortex filaments in both the Euler system for inviscid incompressible fluids and the Gross–Pitaevskii equation in superfluids. We address the issue of whether this is a suitable approximation or not and its degree of validity by using rigorous mathematical methods and direct numerical simulations. More specifically, we show that as the vortex core thickness goes to zero, the vortex core moves (at leading order and for long periods of time) with a velocity proportional to its local curvature and the binormal vector to the curve. The main idea of our analysis lies in a reformulation of the Gross–Pitaevskii equation in terms of associated velocity and vorticity fields that resemble the Euler system written in terms of vorticity in its weak form. We also present full numerical simulations aimed to compare Gross–Pitaevskii and binormal flow in various physical situations of interest such as the periodic evolution of deformed vortex rings and the reconnection of vortex filaments.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Sexual and reproductive health is an important aspect of a woman’s health and her ability to access safe, effective, affordable, and acceptable forms of fertility regulation, including contraception. This commentary piece introduces the barriers and facilitators to community pharmacists’ practising in sexual and reproductive health, and compares and contrasts interventions taking place internationally, compared to key clinical trials occurring in Australia on an expanded scope of community pharmacy practice, in prescribing the oral contraceptive pill (OCP). Modelling the practices already occurring in other high-income countries, Australia is striving to remove barriers and improve accessibility to contraceptive care, by enabling community pharmacists to prescribe contraception.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Understanding causal mechanisms for implementation strategies is a priority for implementation and health promotion research. Logic models are helpful for understanding and illustrating mechanisms through which implementation strategies operate. Little guidance exists for developing logic models for existing implementation strategies. We demonstrate how to use Implementation Mapping (IM) in a retrospective manner to develop an IMap Logic Model for a social-emotional learning program implemented at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Houston (BGCGH). To inform logic model development, we used qualitative interview data (from implementers) and conversations with program organizers. To develop the logic model, we specified the most accessible information, beginning with the program and health-related outcomes. We then specified the implementation strategies and implementation outcomes, followed by change methods (i.e., theoretical techniques that influence positive change in determinants), practical applications (i.e., specific techniques for operationalizing change methods), and determinants (factors that influence implementation) and other contextual factors. The effectiveness outcomes for the program were to improve emotion regulation and social skills among youth. Clinician implementers delivered the program and BGCGH club directors and staff supported delivery. The implementation strategies were (1) group leader trainings; (2) implementation guide; (3) BGCGH staff training; (4) needs assessments (via site visits); (5) follow-up meetings; and (6) pilot program check-in meetings. Collectively, the strategies used various practical applications (e.g., scenario discussions, reviewing procedures) to operationalize change methods (e.g., active learning, participatory problem solving) to address determinants (e.g., knowledge, interorganizational relationships). The strategy set out to improve implementation behaviors (e.g., delivering program components as prescribed) and implementation outcomes (e.g., fidelity). The developed IMap Logic Model can be used to inform implementation evaluation efforts by helping identify outcomes, mediators, and moderators. The logic model can also be used to identify gaps that, if addressed, can help ongoing implementation and scale-up efforts.
The value of social media wildlife sightings for elusive species monitoring: a population assessment of servals in a South African urban nature reserve
Authors: Smith Kyle , Somers Michael J. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Data sourced from social media platforms is an underutilised resource for wildlife research, especially in studying enigmatic species. This study evaluates the potential of such data to provide population and behavioural insights into an elusive species, the serval (Leptailurus serval), from Rietvlei Nature Reserve, an urban protected area in South Africa. We collected 153 visitor sightings of servals within the reserve from different online platforms spanning from June 2011 to August 2024, from which we identified 30 different individual servals, including three long-term residents. Analysis of these sightings revealed a stable serval population with evidence of reproduction within the reserve and migration through a permeable border fence. Behavioural information from the sightings, such as prey captured and habitat use, align with existing knowledge of serval ecology. Even though data sourced from passive contributions by the public generally falls short in terms of data quality and detail, this study demonstrates that a well-supported social media community can be a valuable source of behavioural and basic population data of elusive species in a specific protected area. This approach allows for cost-effective wildlife research that is beneficial to both wildlife management and the formulation of conservation strategies.
A review of advancements, properties, and challenges of carbon nanotubes in food packaging
Authors: Bangar Sneh Punia , Whiteside William Scott , Kajla Priyanka , Tavassoli Milad 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have emerged as promising nano-fillers for enhancing food packaging materials due to their high mechanical strength, excellent thermal conductivity, and superior barrier properties. When incorporated into films and coatings, CNTs can significantly improve the quality, safety, and shelf life of packaged products, making them valuable for advancing food packaging technology. Additionally, CNTs-based films can provide better protection against UV light, which can preserve the nutritional value of food products. Moreover, CNTs could be used as additives in packaging materials to impart antimicrobial properties, prevent the growth of harmful microbes, and extend the shelf life of perishable food products. Despite the promising advancements, challenges related to scale-up production, safety concerns, and regulatory considerations of CNTs food packaging materials must be addressed to facilitate their integration into food packaging industries. Considering all the aspects, this review provides a comprehensive summary of synthesis methods, properties, and recent advancements in the application of CNTs in food packaging.

Authors: Kaschlik Anke , Wagner Leonie 
Published: February 2025

Zusammenfassung
In den letzten Jahren haben Krisen und Katastrophen insgesamt zugenommen. Während lange Zeit vor allem die materiellen Schäden im Vordergrund standen, kommen in neuen Definitionen zum einen die sozialen Folgen und zum anderen die Bedeutung von Vulnerabilität und Resilienz in den Blick. Damit ist gleichzeitig die Beteiligung von Sozialer Arbeit an Planungen und Maßnahmen stärker in den Fokus gerückt. In die Prozesse des Katastrophen(Risiko)Managements sind Sozialarbeiter_innen trotz ihrer für die Bewältigung von Krisen und Katastrophen unerlässlichen Kompetenzen oftmals nur punktuell eingebunden. In der Einführung werden zum einen die möglichen Beiträge von Sozialarbeiter_innen und die Verankerung Sozialer Arbeit im Katastrophen(Risiko)management thematisiert und ein Überblick über die weiteren Beiträge in diesem Schwerpunkt gegeben.
Citizen Science in der Zeckenforschung — ein Erfolgsmodell
Authors: Springer Andrea , Strube Christina 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
Ticks are medically relevant as vectors for multiple pathogens. Besides Ixodes ricinus, which occurs ubiquitously throughout Europe, the meadow tick Dermacentor reticulatus is increasingly common. We used a Citizen Science approach to demonstrate the recent Germany-wide range expansion of this tick species, and to investigate its infection rate with Babesia canis, a canine pathogen causing potentially fatal disease. Travelling dogs seem to play a key role in spreading the vector and the pathogen.

Abstract
Venoms are a rich source of drug leads. However, only recent developments enabled the study of venom from small arthropods by modern omics approaches. To evaluate the pharmaceutical potential of compounds identified in the venom, they need to be assessable. To achieve this, our team has pioneered the establishment of biotechnological production tools to open new avenues for medical biodiscovery.

Authors: Milanov Martin , Vögtle Markus , Koch Hans-Georg 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The ability to store energy within covalent bonds and to transform this energy into biological reactions is vital for all pro- and eukaryotic cells. Among the wide variety of high-energy compounds, polyphosphate (polyP), a polymer of three to more than a thousand phosphoanhydrid-linked phosphate groups is one of the most ancient energy-rich molecules. Despite its structural simplicity, energy storage is only one of the multiple biological functions of polyP, which we briefly highlight here.
An investigation of the practices of middle leaders in Australian schools

Published: February 2025

Abstract
The role of middle leaders in Australian schools as influencers on classroom practice has been the focus of increased attention in recent years. Although there is recognition of the importance of middle leaders, there are gaps in what we understand about their practices and the nuances of practice that occur due to site-based conditions, or practice architectures, within each individual school context. This paper explores the self-reported practices of 25 middle leaders from a range of primary and secondary schools across Australia to deepen our understanding of how those practices are played out and how best to support the development of middle leaders. Analysis of data from in-depth interviews revealed the need to provide resources, conditions, and arrangements that are focused on what happens in classrooms, along with professional learning that is individualised and contextualised to assist the transition from teacher to leader of teaching and learning. Further, middle leaders require support from senior leaders that recognises the complex and hectic nature of middle leading.
Disparities in COVID-19 Testing and Infection Among Beneficiaries in the Military Health System During the First Year of the Pandemic
Authors: Liang Elta , Chuang Kevin , Chung Kevin K. , Coles Christian L. , Koehlmoos Tracey Pérez 
Published: February 2025

Abstract

Background
Although disparities in access to COVID-19 testing and infection rates were identified in civilian literature, it is unclear whether the universally-insured U.S. Military Health System (MHS) experienced similar inequities. We examined whether there were disparities by race, sex, and rank within the MHS’ direct care sector during the early pandemic period.

Methods
Retrospective study of adult TRICARE beneficiaries from March 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021. Likelihood of COVID-19 testing and infection, among eligible beneficiaries, for each exposure variable was assessed using logistic regression.

Results
697,769 beneficiaries received COVID-19 testing during the study period with 56,037 testing positive. Women were more likely to be tested than men (OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.21–1.24), but less likely to test positive (OR: 0.87, 95% CI: 0.85–0.89). Compared to White beneficiaries, Black and Asian/Pacific Islander beneficiaries were more likely to be tested (OR: 1.07, 95% CI: 1.07–1.08; OR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.21–1.24). Black beneficiaries were more likely to test positive (OR: 1.10, 95% CI: 1.07–1.13). Junior Enlisted members were less likely, while Junior Officers were more likely to be tested than Senior Enlisted members (OR: 0.73, 95% CI: 0.73–0.74; OR: 1.20, 95% CI: 1.18–1.21). Junior and Senior officers were less likely to test positive (OR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.89–0.95; OR: 0.70, 95% CI: 0.67–0.74).

Conclusion
Despite universal healthcare coverage, disparities in COVID-19 testing and infection rates by race, sex, and sponsor rank were identified within the MHS. Further research of underlying factors of observed disparities and targeted outreach are necessary for equitable care.
What’s Surprising About Surprisal
Authors: Slaats Sophie , Martin Andrea E. 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
In the computational and experimental psycholinguistic literature, the mechanisms behind syntactic structure building (e.g., combining words into phrases and sentences) are the subject of considerable debate. Much experimental work has shown that surprisal is a good predictor of human behavioral and neural data. These findings have led some authors to model language comprehension in a purely probabilistic way. In this paper, we use simulation to exemplify why surprisal works so well to model human data and to illustrate why exclusive reliance on it can be problematic for the development of mechanistic theories of language comprehension, particularly those with emphasis on meaning composition. Rather than arguing for the importance of structural or probabilistic information to the exclusion or exhaustion of the other, we argue more emphasis should be placed on understanding how the brain leverages both types of information (viz., statistical and structured). We propose that probabilistic information is an important cue to the structure in the message, but is not a substitute for the structure itself—neither computationally, formally, nor conceptually. Surprisal and other probabilistic metrics must play a key role as theoretical objects in any explanatory mechanistic theory of language processing, but that role remains in the service of the brain’s goal of constructing structured meaning from sensory input.
Cyberbullying Bystanding: A Multi-faceted Sociocognitive Approach
Authors: Barton Elissa , Bussey Kay , Jackson Emma 
Published: February 2025

Abstract
The prevalence of cyberbullying has been rising. To reduce the incidence of cyberbullying, it has been proposed to enlist the assistance of bystanders. However, most bystanders do not intervene in bullying episodes. As a result, anti-bullying programs have begun to encourage witnesses to become defenders (those who help the victim). However, further research is needed to investigate the sociocognitive processes associated with different bystander responses. The present study investigated the role of morality (moral disengagement and prosocial self-efficacy) and three bystander responses: passive bystanding, constructive defending, and aggressive defending. Participants were 257 male and female ethnically diverse 11- to 15-year-old students who completed a questionnaire involving two sociocognitive measures (cyberbullying moral disengagement and prosocial self-efficacy) and their frequency of passive bystanding, constructive defending, and aggressive defending. Results revealed that constructive defending was associated with low levels of moral disengagement and high levels of prosocial self-efficacy. Aggressive defending was only associated with high levels of moral disengagement, and passive bystanding was not associated with either moral disengagement or prosocial self-efficacy. These results suggest that promoting constructive defending will require students to assume moral responsibility for observing cyberbullying and also believe in their ability to intervene prosocially.
A standardized in vitro bioengineered skin for penetrating wound modeling

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Over the years, significant progress has been made in developing cost-effective and ethical in vitro bioengineered skin substitutes to study cutaneous wound healing processes. Rodents and small animal models are not optimal due to physiological differences in their skin compared to human skin. The generation of reproducible and precise wounds is key to obtaining comparable results. We created a three-dimensional skin wounding model by growing a fully differentiated, stratified squamous epithelium from human keratinocytes at an air–liquid interface on a type I collagen scaffold concealed with human dermal BJ fibroblasts. To generate the wounds, a stamp with incorporated needles with a length of 250 µm was used to puncture the epidermis to produce standardized wounds. The stamping needle technique is a practical and inexpensive method for creating length-tailored wounds on three-dimensional skin models. The effectiveness of this technique in treating 3D skin models was demonstrated, accompanied by an evaluation of the model’s functionality in terms of cell proliferation, differentiation, and immunological characteristics.

Published: February 2025

Abstract
Although it is true that the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) situation has improved significantly around the world, especially after the implementation of mass vaccination campaigns, there is still a lack of consensus both in the literature and among health authorities and other stakeholders about the current epidemiological situation. This, in turn, has been intensified after the World Health Organization declared the end of the public health emergency of international concern related to COVID-19. In this context, worrying questions have arisen, including a rampant dissemination of scientific misinformation coupled with increased resistance to the implementation and/or revocation of appropriate public health measures. In response to these challenges and hoping to contribute to their mitigation, this article addresses current aspects about the epidemiological situation of COVID-19, discusses long COVID and its controversies, the intensification of scientific misinformation as well as considerations on related health surveillance, and recommendations for improving the existing situation.
