The Chain before the Commodity
Authors: Paredes Alyssa 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
How do you build supply chain logistics to facilitate a political idea and not merely the movement of goods? This essay offers a historical and ethnographic account of “people-to-people trade” (minshū kōeki) between Japanese and Filipino activists from the 1970s onward. In contrast to a vast majority of transnational chains designed foremost to facilitate the efficient circulation of commodities, people-to-people trade has seen its main thrust as supporting linkage politics against the backdrop of a hacienda- and plantation-dominated economy. Encountering each other on the Philippine sugarcane capital of Negros, a vibrant circuit of activists, laborers, farmers, and housewives came together to build the chain in response to the island's descent into economic and political turmoil. Their trade partnership in a wild banana variety called “Balangon” enabled social relationships, ecological arrangements, and labor conditions distinct from Negros’ sugarcane monocultures at the time. Recounting this history offers a prism into a period when transnational concerns over authoritarianism, military counterinsurgency, famine, and pollution export linked the Philippines and Japan, transforming leftist politics in both contexts. Ultimately, this essay aims to show that commodity chains, when placed in the hands of civil society actors, can become meaningful platforms for social change.

Indivíduos diagnosticados com doenças falciformes estão suscetíveis a comprometimentos cognitivos. Objetivou-se com este estudo analisar os correlatos biológicos/orgânicos e psicológicos/psicossociais de déficits nas funções executivas em indivíduos com doenças falciformes. Realizou-se uma revisão sistemática com metanálise a partir da busca por artigos nas bases SCOPUS, ScienceDirect e MedLine, no mês de outubro de 2021 e, posteriormente, em julho de 2024. A análise envolveu 19 estudos que abrangeram 864 participantes (idade média = 13,9; 53% do sexo feminino). Para a avaliação da qualidade dos artigos incluídos foram utilizados cinco critérios da ferramenta de avaliação de qualidade do National Institutes of Health. Os resultados indicaram consistentes evidências de que as características biológicas e psicológicas/psicossociais estão associadas às funções executivas com efeitos significativos de tamanho moderado nesta população, com ênfase na cerebrovasculopatia e na velocidade do fluxo sanguíneo cerebral, bem como em habilidades sociais, na qualidade de vida e no estresse socioambiental, respectivamente. Para estudos futuros com portadores de doenças falciformes propõem-se investigações precoces das habilidades cognitivas, junto a elaboração de ações interventivas no intuito de minimizar prejuízos no desenvolvimento global.

Published: January 2025

Este artigo consiste em um relato de pesquisa qualitativa fenomenológica objetivando compreender significados que as psicólogas que atuam no sistema prisional paraense atribuem às suas práticas cotidianas. Participaram do estudo quatro psicólogas. Na metodologia, usamos formulário eletrônico no Google Forms; em seguida, entrevista semiestruturada por videoconferência no Google Meet. Para as análises e sínteses, usamos o modelo de Amedeo Giorgi. Os resultados apontam sobre a prática do diálogo entre a psicologia e o horizonte técnico na orientação do cuidado à pessoa privada de liberdade; ressonâncias no espaço laborativo quanto à precarização do vínculo institucional, às características da escuta e compreensão clínica dos custodiados, que evidencia a fronteira entre saúde, principalmente, no seu aspecto biomédico, e o enfoque da reintegração, compreendida pelo retorno ao convívio com a sociedade após cumprimento de sentença. Concluímos com a reafirmação da relevância do trabalho de psicólogas pautado no cuidado, o que contribui para enfrentar os preconceitos da sociedade associados a população carcerária. É possível a Psicologia cooperar em equipe para concretizar uma atuação crítica no enfoque dos direitos humanos. Um sentido do trabalho é questionar a lógica do encarceramento e contribuir para a construção de um projeto político-social do trabalho de psicólogas.

Terahertz (THz) wireless links have attracted significant attention due to their pivotal role in next-generation communication systems. Multiplexing is one of the key techniques used to expand channel capacity for high-speed data transmission in point-to-point wireless communication. Using a pair of multifunction metasurfaces, we construct mode division multiplexing (MDM) in THz wireless link with cylindrical vector beams (CVBs) as orthogonal channels. The proposed metasurfaces integrate the functions of CVB generation and vector mode multiplexing, greatly simplifying MDM links. The simulated and measured results show that the multiplexer/demultiplexers are broadband in the frequency range of concern (from 0.36 to 0.44 THz) and compatible with frequency-division-multiplexing and polarization-division-multiplexing. Importantly, we experimentally accomplished a two-channel MDM in a direct modulation THz communication system at 0.36 THz in which the maximum modulation speed is 5 GHz (isolation>20dB). This study will lay the groundwork for CVB-based multidimensional multiplexing in the THz spectrum, potentially enhancing high-capacity THz communication.

Published: January 2025

Background
The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) is a disease with diverse effects on multiple organ systems, leading to varying presentations and severe complications. As the pandemic progresses, the challenges faced by those who recovered from the disease evolved as various coping strategies were adopted post recovery.

Aim
This study investigated the coping strategies used by individuals recovering from COVID-19 to manage the physical, psychological, and social impacts of the disease. It further explored the factors influencing these strategies and their correlation with post-recovery quality of life.

Methods
This cross-sectional quantitative study involved 150 participants who attended the Ghana Infectious Disease Centre’s post-COVID-19 review clinic between January and June 2021. Coping mechanisms were evaluated using the Brief-COPE questionnaire, which covers 28 strategies across three styles: Problem-focused coping, emotional-focused coping, and avoidant coping. Participants rated their coping strategies on a 4-point Likert scale. Analysis of variance was used to determine differences in use of coping strategies. Quality of life was assessed with the EuroQol Group Association five-domain, five-level questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L) and the EQ-VAS scale. Spearman correlation analyzed the relationship between coping strategies and quality of life.

Results
Majority of the study participants used problem-focused (2.71 ± 0.64 SD) type of coping strategy, followed by emotional-focused coping (2.32 ± 0.43 SD). The least strategy used was avoidant coping (1.57 ± 0.39 SD). Older participants, non-healthcare workers, and those with complications or persistent symptoms exhibited higher scores in avoidant and problem-focused coping. Those with persistent symptoms had higher emotional-focused coping scores. Better quality of life was associated with less reliance on all types of coping strategies.

Conclusion
Patients recovering from COVID-19 at the Ghana Infectious Disease Centre used positive coping mechanisms effectively. Key predictors of coping strategies included age, persistent symptoms, and complications. Improved quality of life is correlated with reduced use of coping strategies.

Published: January 2025

Background
The 2022 mpox outbreak marked a significant shift in the epidemiology of this zoonotic disease, traditionally confined to Central and West Africa. With over 80 countries reporting cases, this outbreak was characterized by a rapid spread in non-endemic regions, leading to more than 70,000 confirmed cases globally.

Objective
To quantify the cumulative incidence of mpox and identify associated factors of mpox among the Mexican population affiliated by the Mexican Social Security Institute during the 2022–2023 outbreak.

Material and methods
A retrospective observational study using a cross-sectional survey to assess the cumulative incidence and factors associated with mpox. The cumulative incidence of laboratory confirmed mpox cases was calculated by dividing the number of confirmed cases by the insured population in the Mexican Social Security Institute as of mid-2022, per 100,000 individuals, this was analyzed by sex, age group, sexual orientation and people living with HIV. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with mpox infection.

Results
A total of 2,956 probable cases were reported, with 1,744 (59%) laboratory-confirmed mpox cases. Most confirmed cases were male, with a median age of 32 years. The overall cumulative incidence was 4.05 per 100,000 persons, significantly higher in men and men who have sex with men. Logistic regression revealed that male sex was significantly associated with higher odds of laboratory-confirmed mpox. Age groups 30–34, 35–39, and 40–44 had an elevated risk of infection. Men who have sex with men showed a substantially increased likelihood of mpox, while individuals living with HIV were at higher risk compared to those without HIV. Key clinical predictors included fever, arm rash, and inguinal lymphadenopathy.

Conclusion
The 2022 mpox outbreak revealed significant disparities in infection risk, particularly among men, men who have sex with men, and individuals living with HIV.

Published: January 2025

Background and aims
The expanded use of virtual care may worsen pre-existing disparities in use and delivery of end-of-life care among certain groups of people. We measured the use of virtual care in the last three months of life before and after the introduction of virtual care fee codes that funded care delivery at the start of COVID-19 on March 14, 2020, and identified changes in the characteristics of people using it.

Methods
We used linked clinical and administrative datasets to study use of virtual care in the last three months of life among 411,564 adults who died between January 25, 2018, and November 30, 2022. Modified Poisson regression was used to measure the association of the use of virtual care in the last three months of life with the pandemic study period and its association with each person- and physician-level factor.

Results
14,261 people (8%) used virtual care in the last three months of life before the pandemic, and 161,000 people (69%) used it during the pandemic (relative risk [RR] 8.76; 95% CI 8.48–9.05). Several individual patient characteristics were associated with statistically significant increases in the use of virtual care after March 14, 2020 (following the introduction of virtual care fee codes), compared to before such as among older adults, ethnic minorities, multiple chronic comorbid health conditions and higher frailty groups.

Conclusions
The introduction of new fee codes broadening technology and funding for end-of-life care at the start of pandemic combined with pandemic-related effects was associated with a substantial increase in the use of virtual care near the end of life among certain groups and a general leveling of pre-existing disparities in its use. Virtual end-of-life care delivery may strengthen person-centredness for individuals with limited ability to attend in-person appointments and by providers who may not have previously engaged in such care.

Authors: Jia Tianyang , He Jinglan , Miao Cunliang , Long Yubin , Dong Qi , Guo Jialiang , Chen Wei , Hou Zhiyong 
Published: January 2025

Background
Different from other parts of long bone fractures, surgical site infections (SSI) often occurs in open fractures of the hand (OFH) due to the anatomical characteristics and injury mechanisms. Our aim of the study is to investigate the particular risk factors of SSI after emergency surgery in OFH and develop a prediction nomogram model.

Methods
In our traumatic center, patients with OFH not less than 18 years old were retrieved between October 2020 and April 2024. We excluded patients with other fractures, non-traumatic fractures or surgery before admission. The data of these patients were processed by univariate and multivariate analysis using SPSS (24.0) in order to identify the independent risk factors for SSI. Based on the predictors, the nomogram was constructed and validated by R software (R 4.1.0).

Results
The incidence of SSI was 6.96% (43/618). Body mass index (BMI), albumin (ALB), neutrophils (NEU), inadequate soft tissue coverage, and bone loss/comminution were identified as the independent risk factors of post-operative SSI in OFH and enrolled in the prediction nomogram model. The nomogram exhibited a high level of discrimination, with an area under the curve of 0.856 (95%CI 0.790–0.921) in the training group and 0.931 (95%CI 0.848–1.000) in the test group. Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test revealed optimal consistency between the probability of prediction model and the actual probability (training group: X2 = 5.706, P = 0.680; test group: X2 = 3.886, P = 0.867). The calibration curve of both groups demonstrated excellent consistency. Decision curve analysis (DCA) showed favorable applicability of the prediction model.

Conclusions
Inadequate soft tissue coverage, serum ALB level, NEU level, bone loss/comminution and BMI were the independent risk factors for post-operative SSI in OFH. The nomogram of this predictors can be used as an effective tool to predict SSI risk in OFH.

Published: January 2025

Background
Creativity fuels societal progress and innovation, particularly in the field of medicine. The scientific study of creativity in medicine is critical to understanding how creativity contributes to medical practice, processes, and outcomes. An appraisal of the current scientific literature on the topic, and its gaps, will expand our understanding of how creativity and medicine interact, and guide future research.

Objectives
We aimed to assess the quantity, trends, distribution, and methodological features of the peer-reviewed on creativity in medicine.

Methods
We searched the MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases for peer-reviewed primary research publications on creativity in medicine. Screening, full-text review, and data extraction were performed independently and in duplicate by pairs of reviewers, with discrepancies resolved by a third reviewer. We performed descriptive analyses, graphically displaying the data using charts and maps where appropriate.

Results
Eighty-one studies were eligible for review, enrolling a total of 18,221 physicians, nurses and midwifes across all studies. Most research on creativity in medicine was published in the last decade, predominately in the field of nursing (75%). Researchers from Taiwan (22%) and the United States (21%) produced the most eligible publications, and the majority research was cross-sectional in nature (54%). There was substantial variability in the definitions of creativity adopted, and most studies failed to specify a definition of creativity. Forty-five different measurement tools were used to assess creativity, the most popular being divergent thinking tests such as the Torrance Test of Creative Thinking (24%) and Guilford Creativity Tests (16%).

Conclusions
Peer-reviewed scientific research on creativity in medicine, mostly conducted in the nursing profession, is sparse and performed on variable methodological grounds. Further scientific research on the topic, as well as the development of medicine-specific definitions and measurement tools, is required to uncover the utility of creativity in the medical domain.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study optimizes the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using seed skin extract of guarana (Paullinia cupana) as a natural stabilizing and reducing agent. Employing a Taguchi design, nine experiments were conducted across three levels for four key factors: reaction temperature, pH, silver nitrate concentration, and guarana seed skin extract concentration to minimize AgNP size. Optimal conditions – pH 11, 5 mM silver nitrate, 50°C reaction temperature, and 1% (m/v) guarana extract – produced quasi-spherical AgNPs with an average size of ∼26 nm. Chemical analysis revealed caffeine as the main organic compound and potassium oxide as the primary inorganic component. UV-vis spectra showed an absorption peak at 438 nm, and X-ray diffraction confirmed typical AgNP peaks. Further analysis identified polyphenols, alkaloids, and flavonoids as reducing and stabilizing agents. A high AgNP concentration (180.0 ± 0.2 ppm) was confirmed through ICP-OES, and AgNPs demonstrated a significant antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, with a minimum inhibitory concentration of 50 μg·mL−1. This study underscores the sustainability of green synthesis as a promising alternative to traditional nanoparticle production methods.
