Temporary plugging technology is an important drilling technique for maintaining wellbore stability and resolving lost circulation problems. The key to its success lies in the use of materials that can form a tight and stable “temporary plugging layer” with certain pressure bearing capacity and a permeability close to zero in the loss channel near the wellbore. Experimental studies have been conducted to develop adhesion formulations for optimal temporary plugging materials, as the matching relationship between particle size and fracture width is critical [(0.5−1)/1]. By measuring the permeability of the temporary plugging layer under varying confining pressure with a soap foam flowmeter, researchers have been able to evaluate the effectiveness, degradation, and dosages of temporary plugging agents. It has been shown that a single-particle material, such as a walnut shell, has a smaller permeability than a hyperfine CaCO3 coated temporary plug layer. The latter, however, is less capable of bearing pressure. By combining different materials, such as walnut shells and hyperfine CaCO3 particles, the researchers were able to create a temporary plug layer that had the lowest permeability and did not change much at variable confining pressures. Its pressure-bearing capacity is strong and the temporary plug works well. Experiments have shown that a ratio of 2:1–3:1 of hyperfine CaCO3 and walnut shell particles work well for plugging a fracture system with particles of size 2–3 times the fracture width. It developed an evaluation method for temporary plugging agents, studied their plugging capability and degradation performance for reservoir conversion, and evaluated degradation performance after successful temporary plugging. The temporary plugging rate of the temporary plugging agent increased from 98.10% to 99.81%, and the maximum temporary plugging pressure is 50.39 MPa, which can be completely reduced at 150°C for 4 h, meeting the technical requirements of “dense temporary plugging, two-way pressure bearing” to some extent.

IntroductionThe use of substances to increase productivity and resource use efficiency is now essential to face the challenge of feeding the rising global population with the less environmental impact on the ecosystems. Trichoderma-based products have been used as biopesticides, to inhibit pathogenic microorganisms, and as biostimulants for crop growth, nutrient uptake promotion, and resistance to abiotic stresses.MethodsIn this work, plant metabolomics combined with roots and rhizosphere bacterial metabarcoding were exploited to inspect the performance of Trichoderma spp. biostimulants on Arabidopsis thaliana under drought, heat and their combination and its impact on plant holobiont.Results and discussionAn overall modulation of N-containing compounds, phenylpropanoids, terpenes and hormones could be pointed out by metabolomics. Moreover, metabarcoding outlined an impact on alpha and beta-diversity with an abundance of Proteobacteria, Pseudomonadales, Burkholderiales, Enterobacteriales and Azospirillales. A holobiont approach was applied as an integrated analytical strategy to resolve the coordinated and complex dynamic interactions between the plant and its rhizosphere bacteria using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model host species.

IntroductionIn Dutch training for general practitioners (GPs), reflection on professional practice is key to their training. Such reflection is considered beneficial for professional development, especially when it entails discussing the emotional dimension of practice experiences. In the GP context, invitations to share the emotional side of things, such as “how did that make you feel?” are considered functional; yet, they are also sometimes viewed by participants as ‘grilling’, ‘just too much’ or ‘too intimate’. Put shortly, putting emotions on the table is institutionally embedded in the GP reflection context, but not always straightforward. Thus, we ask: ‘how do teachers and GP residents invite talk about emotions in educational reflection sessions?’.MethodsIn this study, we explored the Dutch phrase ‘raken, geraakt worden’ (being affected) as one interactional practice used to initiate emotion talk. We conducted a conversation analytic collection study of instances of this phenomenon based on 40 video recordings of hour-long ‘reflection sessions’ at the Dutch GP specialty training. During these sessions, approximately ten GPs in training discuss recent experiences from medical practice under supervision of one or two teachers.ResultsWe found that participants orientated to the relevance of ‘being affected’ as a topic for discussion. Variations of the form ‘what affects you now?’ may contribute to putting emotions on the table; they can project a stepwise exploration of the emotional dimension of an experience. The ‘what affects you now’, often done in interrogative format doing a noticing, in combination with a request, is a powerful tool to instigate transformative sequences. The form is less effective to put emotions on the table when the topic shift it initiates is not grounded in previously presented personal stakes or displayed emotion.DiscussionThe study’s findings show how detailed interactional analysis of one sequentially structured practice can benefit education and contribute to theory on emotions and reflection. The mobilizing power of ‘what affects you’ can serve institutional purposes by doing topical work in relation to educational aims, while its power can also be deflated when prior talk does not project the relevance of unpacking the emotional dimension of an experience. Its interactional workings may translate to other helping contexts as well.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionChildren and adolescents’ social and emotional skills have been gaining attention in diverse settings. With over 100 conceptual frameworks available, there is now a common move toward framing these skills as social and emotional learning (SEL), assuming that they are not only amiable to development, but also malleable to change as a product of intervention. As such, there is a strong need for a comprehensive measure to effectively evaluate such skills, validated for different age groups in children and young people, and applicable to both educational contexts and community settings.MethodsThis paper presents the validation of the Portuguese adaptation of the Child/Youth form of the Survey on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES), in the scope of the Gulbenkian Academies for Knowledge initiative with a sample of 7,831 participants between 8 and 17 years old (M = 11.79, SD = 2.94).ResultsResults show that the measure has good internal consistency and sensitivity, while also being sensitive to change over time. Preliminary factor analysis shows promise, although further research is necessary.DiscussionDiscussion reflects on the value of the Child/Youth form of the SSES as a comprehensive measure to be used by community and educational professionals to monitor skill development and improve their work on SEL.

BackgroundMental health care has declined during the COVID-19 pandemic as has attendance for preventive mental health health services. This study aimed to investigate trends in all types of mental health service claims identified in an Indigenous-specific health assessment for Indigenous people before and during COVID-19.MethodsWe conducted an analysis of Medicare Benefits Scheme (MBS) mental health service items (Items 81,325 and 81,355), to investigate the trends in all types of mental health service claims specifically intended for Indigenous people of Australia. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics, including the total annual numbers of Indigenous peoples’ mental health service claims cross-tabulated by age groups and gender, between the calendar years 2017–2021. Multivariable Poisson regression modelling was used to determine associations that were statistically significant.ResultsOur results indicate an overall rise in MBS claims for mental health follow-up services during 2019–2020 followed by a decline in 2020–2021. In addition, there was an overall decline in claims for follow-up psychology services across the time period 2019–2021.ConclusionWe found a significant decline in MBS items specific to follow-up mental health services (MBS Items 81,325 and 81,355) for Indigenous people in Australia suggesting a decline in attendance for mental health service follow-up which in turn may indicate a deficit in mental health care during the COVID-19 pandemic, an issue that may lead to poorer mental health outcomes in the future. Further research is needed to understand whether these changes were due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or other factors.

BackgroundVaccine hesitancy has hampered the control of COVID-19 and other vaccine-preventable diseases.MethodsWe conducted a national internet-based, quasi-experimental study to evaluate COVID-19 vaccine informational videos. Participants received an informational animated video paired with the randomized assignment of (1) a credible source (differing race/ethnicity) and (2) sequencing of a personal narrative before or after the video addressing their primary vaccine concern. We examined viewing time and asked video evaluation questions to those who viewed the full video.ResultsAmong 14,235 participants, 2,422 (17.0%) viewed the full video. Those who viewed a personal story first (concern video second) were 10 times more likely to view the full video (p &lt; 0.01). Respondent–provider race/ethnicity congruence was associated with increased odds of viewing the full video (aOR: 1.89, p &lt; 0.01). Most viewers rated the informational video(s) to be helpful, easy to understand, trustworthy, and likely to impact others' vaccine decisions, with differences by demographics and also vaccine intentions and concerns.ConclusionUsing peer-delivered, personal narrative, and/or racially congruent credible sources to introduce and deliver vaccine safety information may improve the openness of vaccine message recipients to messages and engagement.

BackgroundAdolescents who use alcohol and other drugs on school campuses are at heightened risk for adverse consequences to their health and wellbeing. Schools have historically turned to punitive approaches as a first-line response to substance use. However, punishment is an ineffective deterrent for substance use and may cause harm and increase inequities. iDECIDE (Drug Education Curriculum: Intervention, Diversion, and Empowerment) was developed as a scalable and youth-centered drug education and diversion program that can be used as a skills-based alternative to punishment. We aim to evaluate the effectiveness of the iDECIDE curriculum as an alternative to punishment (ATP) for school-based substance use infractions in the context of a large pragmatic clinical effectiveness study.MethodsWe will conduct a Type 1, hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial. Using a stepped wedge design with approximately 90 middle and high schools in Massachusetts, we will randomly allocate the timing of implementation of the iDECIDE curriculum compared to standard disciplinary response over approximately 36 months. We will test the overarching hypothesis that student-level outcomes (knowledge of drug effects and attitudes about substance use; frequency of substance use; school connectedness) improve over time as schools transition from a standard disciplinary response to having access to iDECIDE. The secondary aims of this trial are to (1) explore whether change in student-level outcomes vary according to baseline substance use, number of peers who use alcohol or other drugs, age, gender, and school urbanicity, and (2) determine the acceptability and feasibility of the iDECIDE curriculum through qualitative stakeholder interviews.DiscussionSubstance use continues to be a major and rapidly evolving problem in schools. The importance of moving away from punishment to more restorative approaches is widely accepted; however, scalable alternatives have not yet been identified. This will be the first study to our knowledge to systematically evaluate an ATP for students who violate the school substance use policy and is well poised to have important implications for policy making.

IntroductionThe strong association between age and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, makes it imperative to promote self-care throughout life. Systematic knowledge on the health findings of person-centered care models may contribute to designing effective healthcare strategies to promote empowerment for self-care in long-term care.ObjectiveTo assess the association between the implementation of person-centered care models that promote self-care training in long-term care and health-related outcomes, among adults with chronic illness.MethodsA rapid review of the literature was performed following the Cochrane rapid review methodology. The electronic databases CINAHL, MedicLatina, MEDLINE, and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection were searched for randomized experimental studies, published between 2017 and 2022, that implemented interventions based on person-centered models to promote self-care in adults aged ≥18 years with chronic diseases and needing long-term health care. Verification of the eligibility of the articles and the extraction of data were performed by two independent investigators. Quantitative data on the health-related variables assessed were collected and, through narrative synthesis, health outcomes were grouped into individual, institutional and societal levels.ResultsEight studies, mostly conducted in European countries, were included. All satisfied more than 60% of the methodological quality score. A large variability among studies was found regarding the number of participants, the data collection period and duration of the intervention, the samples selected and the care model implemented. A high number of health-related outcomes (n = 17) were analyzed in the studies, using 52 different instruments. The main health-related outcomes were multidimensional, with implications at the individual, institutional and societal levels. The promotion of overall health and wellbeing (n = 4), the implementation of patient-centered care models (n = 1), the positive and more frequent interactions with health professionals (2), the decrease on staff psychosocial distress (n = 1), and the absence of added costs (n = 1), while improving family caregivers’ skills (n = 1) were the main health-related outcomes described.ConclusionThere is a need to develop robust experimental studies focused on the views and experiences of all stakeholders and conducted in different countries and cultures. Short-, medium- and long-term health outcomes should be measured using internationally accepted and validated scales for chronic patients.

ObjectiveSurgical treatment for giant aneurysms of the ICA-ophthalmic segment (C6) and communicating artery segment (C7) is a challenge for neurosurgeons because of their high risks and poor outcomes. We aim to explore the advantages and disadvantages of the Dolenc approach in the treatment of giant C6–C7 segment aneurysms.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 13 cases with giant C6 aneurysms and 4 cases with giant C7 aneurysms treated with the Dolenc approach.ResultsAll 17 cases of aneurysms were clipped successfully using the Dolenc approach, of which, 1 case with ipsilateral MCA occlusion underwent extracranial-intracranial artery bypass after the aneurysm clipping. Regarding clinical outcomes, six out of nine cases with preoperative visual impairment improved after surgery, two cases saw no change, and one case deteriorated. Of all the cases, one had new-onset vision loss, four had new-onset oculomotor paralysis, three had surgical side cerebral infarction, and two had diabetes insipidus. DSA or CTA examination within 2 weeks after surgery showed that all aneurysms were completely clipped without residual. After a follow-up of 9–12 months, 17 patients were evaluated based on GOS and CTA examination. A total of 14 cases had GOS 5 scores, 2 cases had GOS 4 scores, 1 case had GOS 2 scores, and no cases had death. None of the patients had recurrence based on CTA examinations.ConclusionThrough the Dolenc approach, we could achieve more operation space and expose clinoid segments for temporary occlusion. Therefore, the Dolenc approach was shown to be a safe, effective, and feasible treatment for giant C6–C7 aneurysms.
Feasibility of an endoscope-dominated side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis: an anatomical study

Published: August 2023

ObjectiveA surgical simulation of an endoscope-dominated side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis was performed to evaluate the feasibility.MethodsEight anatomical cadaver heads (16 sides) were recruited. The steps in conventional procedures were abbreviated or omitted. A facial nerve was first harvested near its external genu and was used for a side-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis. The stump of the used facial nerve was truncated and recycled immediately caudal to the facial recess in another anastomosis and then recycled again at the stylomastoid foramen. As a recycled stump becomes too short to ensure a side-to-end anastomosis, the hypoglossal nerve was transected in situ, and an endoscopic end-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis was attempted. Surgical simulation and quantitative measurement methods were used to analyze the anastomosis effects of different harvested sites of the facial nerve.ResultsSeveral steps in the conventional procedures provide little benefit in endoscopic surgery. A facial nerve stump recycled at the stylomastoid foramen is too short to ensure a tensionless side-to-end anastomosis. An endoscopic end-to-end hypoglossal-facial anastomosis was feasible, although it required more time than the classical microsurgical anastomosis. The greater agility of an endoscope enables the conventional surgical steps to be overlapped or interweaved into the procedure.ConclusionsThe multiple surgical fields and ability to manipulate the viewpoint provided by an endoscope have brought about breakthroughs in classical surgical paradigms. In addition, it is best to choose the sites of the facial nerve harvested near the external genu. If unavailable, an alternative section site could be selected immediately caudal to the facial recess, but cannot be distal to the stylomastoid foramen. The length of the stump should be individualized and preferably optimized with a nerve stimulator.

Published: August 2023

IntroductionFluctuation in pork prices has always been a focus of academic attention. This paper examines the impact of double external shocks on pork prices, to provide reference for the impact of future outbreaks on the pork market.MethodsThis paper constructs a natural experiment based on the time and regional differences in the occurrence of the epidemics. Double difference models and triple difference models are used to identify the impacts of African swine fever and COVID-19 on Chinese pork prices.ResultsThe results found that both African swine fever and COVID-19 positively affected pork prices, but African swine fever had a greater degree of impact; before the COVID-19 epidemic, African swine fever caused a more significant increase in pork prices; the impact of a single African swine fever shock was greater than the double shocks.DiscussionThe COVID-19 epidemic may have curbed the further increase in pork prices, due to the decreased market consumption demand caused by the epidemic.
New Data and Recent Updates on Invasive Horticultural Pest Species Acanalonia conica (Hemiptera: Auchenorrhyncha) in Romania
Authors: Cojocariu Ana , Crîșmaru Alina Elena 
Published: August 2023

As a result of increased trade, transportation, and globalization, the phenomenon of growth regarding the entrance of invasive alien species (IAS) represents a serious concern (including flora, fauna, and microbiota). Acanalonia conica (Say, 1830), also known as the green cone-headed planthopper (GCHP), was first identified in the Chrysanthemum collection of the Botanical Garden in Iaşi, Romania. The principal objectives of this article are to update the limited data on the presence of A. conica in Romania, revealing its occurrence in new areas (East Romania, Iași) and on other host plants that were not previously documented in the United States and Europe, as well as to establish the trends of population evolution, with an emphasis on the peak of GCHP population development during the life cycle on East Romania indoor conditions. The evolution of the GCHP population was established using the recorded data on total counts of adults and nymphs observed from a limited area (greenhouse compartment), checked every two days in 115 days of direct observations. The peak of population was established at late-July (25th to 31st day of the month, 30th week of the year) for the conditions of East Romania and it was the appropriate time to monitor the activity of the species, to estimate the damages in specific crops, and to initiate the specific pest control measures. Current findings are significant not only for the general spread of this species in Europe and in Romania but also for the observations regarding new hosts and the population evolution in a greenhouse habitat for the cultivation of ornamental plants.
