Making the case for youth participatory action research opportunities to enhance social developmental scholarship
Authors: Kornbluh Mariah 
Published: April 2023

AbstractYouth are capable agents with the capacity to engage with and shape issues pertinent to their lives. In the field of social development, we are witnessing an exciting increase in children and adolescent involvement in the research process. Youth‐led participatory action research (YPAR) is one such method, encompassing youth participation in identifying pressing issues within their own communities, collectively gathering, and systematically analyzing data to understand the root causes of such issues, and organizing for social change informed by rigorous empirical evidence. YPAR provides an opportunity to strengthen our understanding of social development processes. Using three illustrative case studies from YPAR projects engaging elementary, high school, and college‐age children and adolescents, I discuss the connections between YPAR as a mechanism for enhancing social developmental research designs, an intervention in and of itself fostering key social‐emotional competencies, and a process for facilitating more equity‐oriented scholarship. The paper concludes with strategies for how researchers new to YPAR may incorporate this practice into their research and key training considerations.

AbstractWest Nile virus (WNV) has been documented in human and/or mosquito samples near the border with Mexico in El Paso, Texas, and Doña Ana County, New Mexico. However, on the Mexican side of the border, particularly in the State of Chihuahua, no such cases of WNV‐infected mosquitoes have been documented. We tested 367 mosquitoes of four species (Culex quinquefasciatus, Cx. tarsalis, Aedes aegypti, and Aedes (Ochlerotatus) epactius) and found a high rate of WNV‐positivity, including the first record of Ae. (Ochlerotatus) epactius infection with WNV. These results call for intensifying WNV surveillance efforts on the border between the United States and Mexico, with particular emphasis on vector control and monitoring of the species included in this study.
Import competition and firm productivity: Evidence from German manufacturing
Authors: Bräuer Richard , Mertens Matthias , Slavtchev Viktor 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe study how different types of import competition affect firm productivity using firm‐product data from German manufacturing (2000–2014). Competition from high‐income countries causes affected domestic firms to increase their productivity and lower their prices. Oppositely, import competition from low‐wage countries does not lead to firm productivity gains. Instead, domestic firms' sales and input usage decline. Our findings confirm the intuition of ladder models that the effect of competition depends on the “closeness” of competitors. They are in line with widespread X‐inefficiencies throughout the economy, which firms reduce in response to competition from high‐income countries.
Seeing Gaslighting
Authors: DREXLER ELIZABETH F. 
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACTExtending photovoice methodology, I describe a process of seeing structural injustice through photo‐dialogues. In a collective context where state and society collude in normalizing and extending injustice through both law and systemic gaslighting, the problem of exposing injustice with images involves issues of common sense, language, institutions, and access to various forms of power. “Seeing gaslighting” reveals a process that manipulates perception to obscure systemic inequality and injustice and produce complacency and/or inability to perceive complicity in an unjust system. Photo‐dialogues engage the sensory and affective rather than evidentiary aspect of images of injustice.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the effect of flushing of the common bile duct (CBD) on hepatobiliary markers and short‐term outcome in dogs undergoing cholecystectomy for the management of gallbladder mucocele (GBM).Study designRandomized, controlled, prospective study.AnimalsThirty‐two client‐owned dogs.MethodsDogs were allocated randomly to either a “flush” group or a “non‐flush group.” Flushing was performed in a normograde fashion, followed by a routine cholecystectomy. Data collected included presenting clinical signs, preoperative and 3‐day postoperative hepatobiliary markers (alkaline phosphatase, ALP; alanine aminotransferase, ALT; gamma glumatyl‐transferase, GGT; bilirubin; cholesterol; triglycerides), duration of hospitalization, and complications. These data were compared between groups.ResultsSixteen dogs were enrolled in each group. One dog (in the flush group) was excluded following diagnosis of hepatic lymphoma. Border terriers were overrepresented (20/31). Overall, there were marked reductions from preoperative to 3 days postoperative in serum bilirubin (p = .004), ALP (p = .020), ALT (p < .001), GGT (p = .025), and cholesterol (p < .001) values. There was no difference in any marker between groups. Survival to discharge was 90.3% (28/31 dogs).ConclusionCholestatic markers decreased significantly 3 days postcholecystectomy. No short‐term clinical or clinico‐pathological benefits were identified when flushing the CBD in dogs undergoing cholecystectomy for GBM.Clinical significanceThe findings of the study do not support routine flushing of the CBD during cholecystectomy for GBM in dogs.
Prioritising environmental invasive weeds of European concern for classical biological control: A reanalysis
Authors: Lesieur Vincent , Sforza René F. H. , Sheppard Andy W. , Shaw Richard H. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractInvasive alien plant species (IAPs) are causing significant negative impacts on agricultural production, threatened native species and ecosystems, the services they provide and public health thereby affecting European biodiversity and its economy. IAPs invade all types of natural and managed habitat and their impacts, through increased numbers and area invaded, are growing exponentially. Current control options in Europe are largely limited to manual and chemical control, which is high cost, short‐term in effectiveness and with regards to chemical control declining in public acceptability. Globally, classical biological control (CBC) is widely and successfully used to manage many IAPs. CBC aims to redress the ecological imbalance caused by the IAPs, generally being released without their natural enemies. The steps are to select, risk assess potential specific natural enemy biocontrol agents of the IAP (from the IAP's native range) and follow regulatory approval prior to releasing them to ecologically suppress their abundance. CBC is not widely used in Europe. Only five active programmes exist. In this paper, we apply an existing framework to develop a ranked list of environmental IAPs named in the EU Regulation on Invasive Species for biocontrol. We used a scoring system based on existing knowledge on the IAPs impacts, the amount of effort needed to deliver a CBC programme targeting them and the feasibility and likelihood of success of such programmes. We identify 16 IAPs in Europe for which CBC has relatively high potential and discuss existing knowledge that can underpin any future investments in such activities against each of these IAPs. The top three species being Pontederia crassipes, Pistia startiotes and Acacia saligna. This research should support decision‐making on the instigation of future CBC programmes against environmental IAPs in Europe. We set this analysis in the context of other operational and regulatory constraints on developing CBC programmes against environmental IAPs in Europe.

Published: April 2023

Objective:
The objective of this review is to assess the effectiveness of programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support to community-dwelling older people with ongoing health and social care needs and to report how these programs affect quality of life and health system outcomes.

Introduction:
As people age, they often have multiple chronic conditions and functional impairment, and as a result, they need support to live well. Nursing homes and other residential facilities provide care for people with such needs; however, they can be expensive and older people generally prefer to remain at home, in their community. There is growing interest in programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support in the community for people with complex health and social care needs.

Inclusion criteria:
This review will focus on the effectiveness of programs that offer individualized, multifactorial support in the community for people over the age of 60 who are identified as having ongoing health and social care needs. The review will assess quality of life and health system outcomes, such as hospital admission.

Methods:
This review will be conducted in accordance with the JBI methodology for systematic reviews of effectiveness. Ten databases will be searched for published and unpublished studies. Titles, abstracts, and full-text studies will be screened by 2 or more independent reviewers and assessed for methodological validity using the standard JBI critical assessment tools. Relevant data will be extracted using the JBI data extraction tools. The data will then be synthesized and reported using measures of evidence certainty.

Inverse Estimation of Effective Thermal Conductivity of Multilayer Materials Considering Thermal Contact Resistance
Authors: Zhang Chunyun , He Zheng , Lv Jun , Liu Kun , Cui Miao 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Multilayer materials have been widely used in engineering applications, attributed to excellent thermo-mechanical performances. However, the thermal or mechanical properties of multilayer materials remain elusive, owing to contact behaviors etc. factors. In order to address this issue, an innovative method is employed to estimate the effective thermal conductivity (ETC) of multilayer materials considering thermal contact resistance (TCR) between layers, and the equivalence performance is investigated by solving three-dimensional inverse heat conduction problems. First, the equivalence method is validated by available experimental data of a multilayered insulation composite material. Then, the precision of different equivalence methods is compared, and the results indicate that the anisotropic equivalence method has higher accuracy than the isotropic and orthotropic equivalences for the five-layer material in the present work. Finally, the robustness and stability of the anisotropic equivalence method are evaluated in detail. The present work provides a new alternative method for predicting the effective thermal conductivity of multilayer materials.
Creativity Is Contextual: A Narrative Review of Motor Creativity Tests From an Ecological Perspective
Authors: Lee Yi-Shin , Iodice Pierpaolo , Komar John 
Published: April 2023

This narrative review seeks to compare the various ways in which motor creativity has been measured and to critically evaluate those methods within the context of our contemporary understanding of motor creativity. Eligible studies included those of any study design, experimental or observational, as long as motor creativity was measured. Three databases (i.e., PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect) were searched from the earliest possible start dates to December 2021. No risk of bias assessment was performed as the study outcomes were not the focus of the review. After screening for eligibility, 23 articles were included for review, all having measured motor creativity. Of the 23 articles, 16 measured generic motor creativity, while the remaining seven measured task-specific motor creativity. Furthermore, 16 of the studies tested motor creativity with largely static environmental constraints, while the remaining seven were conducted with dynamic environmental constraints. Using a contemporary understanding of motor creativity, most motor creativity tests presently do not possess sufficient task specificity and environmental dynamism, which may not provide an appropriate context for the emergence of creative motor action.
Soft and lightweight fabric enables powerful and high-range pneumatic actuation
Authors: Zhang Zhuang , Long Yongzhou , Chen Genliang , Wu Qichen , Wang Hao , Jiang Hanqing 
Published: April 2023

Soft structures and actuation allow robots, conventionally consisting of rigid components, to perform more compliant, adaptive interactions similar to living creatures. Although numerous functions of these types of actuators have been demonstrated in the literature, their hyperelastic designs generally suffer from limited workspaces and load-carrying capabilities primarily due to their structural stretchability factor. Here, we describe a series of pneumatic actuators based on soft but less stretchable fabric that can simultaneously perform tunable workspace and bear a high payload. The motion mode of the actuator is programmable, combinable, and predictable and is informed by rapid response to low input pressure. A robotic gripper using three fabric actuators is also presented. The gripper demonstrates a grasping force of over 150 N and a grasping range from 70 to 350 millimeters. The design concept and comprehensive guidelines presented would provide design and analysis foundations for applying less stretchable yet soft materials in soft robots to further enhance their practicality.

ObjectivesResearch suggests that military personnel frequently delay disclosing mental health issues and illness (MHI), including substance use disorder, to supervisors. This delay causes missed opportunities for support and workplace accommodations which may help to avoid adverse occupational outcomes. The current study aims to examine disclosure-related beliefs, attitudes and needs, to create a better understanding of personnel’s disclosure decision making.DesignA cross-sectional questionnaire study among military personnel with and without MHI. Beliefs, attitudes and needs regarding the (non-)disclosure decision to a supervisor were examined, including factors associated with (non-)disclosure intentions and decisions. Descriptive and regression (logistic and ordinal) analyses were performed.SettingThe study took place within the Dutch military.ParticipantsMilitary personnel with MHI (n=324) and without MHI (n=554) were participated in this study.Outcome measure(Non-)disclosure intentions and decisions.ResultsCommon beliefs and attitudespro non-disclosurewere the preference to solve one’s own problems (68.3%), the preference for privacy (58.9%) and a variety of stigma-related concerns. Common beliefs and attitudespro disclosurewere that personnel wanted to be their true authentic selves (93.3%) and the desire to act responsibly towards work colleagues (84.5%). The most reported need for future disclosure (96.8%) was having a supervisor who shows an understanding for MHI. The following factors were associated both with non-disclosure intentions and decisions: higher preference for privacy (OR (95% CI))=(1.99 (1.50 to 2.65)intention, 2.05 (1.12 to 3.76)decision) and self-management (OR (95% CI))=(1.64 (1.20 to 2.23)intention, 1.79 (1.00 to 3.20)decision), higher stigma-related concerns (OR (95% CI))=(1.76 (1.12 to 2.77)intention, 2.21 (1.02 to 4.79)decision) and lower quality of supervisor–employee relationship (OR (95% CI))=(0.25 (0.15 to 0.42)intention, 0.47 (0.25 to 0.87)decision).ConclusionTo facilitate (early-)disclosure to a supervisor, creating opportunities for workplace support, interventions should focus on decreasing stigma and discrimination and align with personnels’ preference for self-management. Furthermore, training is needed for supervisors on how to recognise, and effectively communicate with, personnel with MHI. Focus should also be on improving supervisor–employee relationships.
Societal volunteering and COVID-19 mortality in high-income countries: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Schiltz Fritz , Van Remoortel Hans , Scheers Hans , Vandekerckhove Philippe 
Published: April 2023

ObjectivesThis study aims to quantify the relationship between societal volunteering and the impact of COVID-19 in that society.DesignCross-sectional study.Setting, participants and outcome measureData on societal volunteering were collected for 32 high-income countries (international analysis) and 50 US states (US analysis). Using regression analysis, the ability of this variable to explain COVID-19 mortality was compared with other variables put forward in the public debate (eg, vaccination rate, obesity, age). COVID-19 mortality was measured as the number of deaths due to COVID-19 per million inhabitants, from January 2020 until January 2022.ResultsSocietal volunteering explains 43% (resp. 34%) of observed variation in COVID-19 mortality (R²) in the international (resp. US states) analysis. Compared with other variables, societal volunteering better explains the variation in COVID-19 mortality across countries and US states, with only the prevalence of smokers displaying a higher R² in the international analysis.ConclusionsCountries and states with more societal volunteering have been less impacted by COVID-19, even after accounting for differences in demographics, gross domestic product, healthcare investments and vaccination rates. Although this evidence is not causal, our findings suggest that factors beyond the public-private debate might impact the resilience of societies to a pandemic, with societal volunteering being one such factor.

Published: April 2023

ObjectiveThe study aims to identify the prevalence of use of tobacco products by sexual and gender minorities (SGM) in Brazil, the users’ profile and associations between tobacco use and social and behavioural variables.MethodologyThe study used data from a representative nationwide household survey of the Brazilian population aged 12–65 years—the first one to address the issue of sexual orientation/gender identity. The study sample consisted of 15 801 individuals. Social and behavioural characteristics and the use of tobacco products were compared according to sexual orientation/gender identity. A multivariate logistic model was constructed to assess the association between tobacco use and sexual orientation/gender identity, as well as models stratified by SGM and non-SGM.ResultsPrevalence of any tobacco product use was 44.7% among SGM and 17.0% among non-SGM. Water pipe use was ~8 times higher for SGM than for non-SGM (13.5% vs 1.6%). SGM tobacco users were younger and had more schooling than non-SGM tobacco users. After adjusting for social and behavioural variables, the multivariate model showed that SGM were 150% more likely to use tobacco products than non-SGM (adjusted OR 2.52; 95% CI 1.61 to 3.95). In the model for SGM, schooling, alcohol consumption, illicit drug consumption, violence and anxiety/depression were significantly associated with tobacco use.ConclusionPrevalence of tobacco use among SGM was higher than among non-SGM, and the profile of tobacco users differed between them. It is urgent to monitor health issues in SGM in Brazil and to adopt tobacco control strategies for this group.

Published: April 2023

IntroductionQuality assessment in the context of maternal health services in Brazil has been the object of study due to maternal mortality rates that remain high in the country, in addition to the high costs of healthcare and the increased level of complexity in care. To change this situation, several strategies have been proposed to improve care for women. One of them is the improvement of women’s access to maternal and child services through the Reception with Obstetric Risk Classification (ACCRO).ObjectiveTo map and synthesise scientific evidence in the literature of studies that assess the quality of ACCRO services from the perspective of users, professionals and managers, as well as map tools that assess the quality of these services and their results.Method and analysisIt is a scoping protocol that follows the method recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute, other authors and guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. The Population, Concept and Context strategy will systematise the search in PubMed, Cochrane, Embase, LILACS, SCOPUS and Web of Science and PsycINFO databases.
