Invader’s success: behavioural and reproductive plasticity of interacting exotic dung beetles
Authors: Esquivel-Román Andrea , Dáttilo Wesley , Cruz-Rosales Magdalena , del Val Ek , González-Tokman Daniel 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Dung beetles have been introduced to non-native sites to perform dung removal function in cattle pastures. Despite some species becoming invasive, their behavioural and reproductive strategies remain to be elucidated in detail. Here we evaluated the shift in behaviour and reproduction of two species of dung beetles, Euoniticellus intermedius and Digitonthophagus gazella, when they interact with the same or other species out of their native range. Under natural conditions, E. intermedius brood masses were lighter in traps (i.e., field enclosures) with more total brood masses. In the laboratory, D. gazella induced faster dung colonization by E. intermedius and conspecifics. The presence of conspecifics or heterospecifics reduced reproductive success in D. gazella, revealing intense competition for dung. In the offspring, E. intermedius females emerged larger in the presence of D. gazella, revealing differential maternal investment triggered by competitors. In conclusion, behavioural and reproductive plasticity are fundamental for dung beetles to become successful invaders.
Innate response to first feeding in Octopus berrima hatchlings despite embryonic food imprinting
Authors: Hua Qiaz Q.H. , Nande Manuel , Doubleday Zoe A. , Gillanders Bronwyn M. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Food imprinting has both ecological and evolutionary significance but the generality of these patterns for octopods remains unknown. We aim to determine the prey preference of Octopus berrima hatchlings and whether it may be modified through imprinting. Firstly, hatchlings were given isopods, amphipods and mussels to determine their prey preference ranking. In a separate experiment, embryos were exposed to the visual and chemical stimuli of either isopods, amphipods or mussels separately at least a week before hatching. A prey preference test on hatchlings using all three prey types was conducted. We found that O. berrima had a preference ranking of isopods > amphipods > mussels. However, they retained their isopod prey preference regardless of the prey type they were embryonically exposed to, indicating that it is likely pre-determined as a result of innate biological processes rather than from life experience, providing evidence that imprinting does not occur in O. berrima.
Sexual and Gender-Based Violence Committed by Non-State Armed Groups Against Women/Girls and lgbti+ Persons in Non-International Armed Conflicts: Peru’s Case
Authors: Pérez-León-Acevedo Juan-Pablo 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The Peruvian Communist Party/Shining Path or Sendero Luminoso (pcp-sl) and the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (mrta) committed rape and other sexual violence atrocities against women/girls and executions of lgbti+ persons during Peru’s non-international armed conflict (niac) (1980–2000). This article analyses sexual and gender-based violence (sgbv) perpetrated by these non-State armed groups (nsag s) against women/girls and lgbti+ persons under international humanitarian law (ihl) binding nsag s, complemented with a rebel governance approach (including female membership in these groups). This case-study can illustrate whether nsag s fulfil ihl obligations, also identifying inconsistencies between their doctrines and actions. After examining gender-related issues concerning the pcp-sl/mrta and their sgbv crimes against women/girls and lgbti+ persons, this article applies an analytical framework consisting of a gender-focused rebel governance approach and, mainly, ihl to sgbv perpetrated by the pcp-sl/mrta. ihl analysis involves: ihl bindingness over nsag s; prohibition of sgbv binding nsag s; and the nsag s’ (emerging) obligation to redress.
Ugly Book Feelings: Materiality and Negative Affect in Late Medieval Women’s Writing
Authors: Downes Stephanie , Trigg Stephanie 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Drawing on the work of Sianne Ngai in Ugly Feelings (2005), in this essay we focus on two examples from early fifteenth-century medieval literature that represent medieval books as ‘ugly’ either because they arouse negative feelings of aversion or disgust or because they are considered in some way aesthetically lacking or inadequate. Christine de Pizan’s Livre de la cité des dames and Margery Kempe’s Book of Margery Kempe present women’s involvement with troubling or difficult books. The ‘ugly book feelings’ which both narrators encounter challenge not only their authority as writers, but their very sense of self. Such feelings, however, are transitory when placed in narrative context: in the two examples we discuss, a single material text serves as the catalyst for a moment of emotional transformation which may be spiritual and/or intellectual. Attending to literary representations of ugly book feelings, we argue, complements existing scholarship on late medieval women’s relationship to material textual culture by placing such feelings at the centre of a broad emotional spectrum.
Hedgerow Poiesis
Authors: Bernau Anke 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This essay considers the iconic English hedgerow in light of its history as material, made object and its ontological status as vital ecology. It argues that both of these aspects are associated with particular ‘aesthetics of care’, which are entwined with one another in inextricable, and often agonistic, ways. Central to this argument are the interrelated aspects of the hedge understood as commodity or property, its role in materialising property relations, and the hedge’s own living ‘properties’. Caring for the hedge; the hedge as expression of care for the property that is demarcated and secured through it (and the ecological and social relations that ensue); caring with hedges as the needs of multispecies living need to be addressed – all of these are at stake, and care in these different relations is rooted in histories of suffering (physical as well as emotional cares) and histories of care as a form of disposition marked by attentiveness and effort. Both ‘property’ and ‘properties’ are deeply embedded in systems and stories of ownership, place and land use; both are coming under increasing pressure in the midst of climate crisis, which demands new forms of multispecies, multitemporal care.
The Stuff of Snuff: The Affective and Sensory Connotations of Snuffboxes in Eighteenth-Century Culture
Authors: Beaven Lisa , Martin Matthew 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This essay explores the relationship between emotions and material culture in relation to one specific artefact, the snuffbox. Small in scale, capable of activating multiple senses and hugely fashionable, the snuffbox became an enormously popular accessory that was extensively used by both sexes in eighteenth-century society. Its scale, and intimate relationship to the body, made it an ideal gift between lovers or courting couples, and it could be personalised to carry affective inscriptions, imagery or even portraits. Often made of ornate or expensive materials, or studded with jewels, its materiality became part of its seductive charm. Its emotional potency extended to its role in the performance of public identities through the display and manipulation of the box in polite society, while its secret compartments facilitated the retention of mementos or the private display of explicitly pornographic imagery.
Smart Theology and Social Competency: Navigating Youth Engagement in the Digital Age
Authors: Müller Sabrina , Bruderer-Traber Nicole 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Based on an interdisciplinary study of practical theology, pedagogy, and business education, this article elaborates on aspects of social competence, digitality, engagement, and lived theology. The article further describes in which areas and how often young adults completing vocational training are involved in society and the church and how they use their smartphones. In addition, the young people’s assessment of the opportunities and risks of digital possibilities is discussed as aspects of etiquette regarding manners with the smartphone. Furthermore, it is worked out how young adults perceive themselves as socially competent and what implications this has for social learning. Finally, the authors describe the significance of these findings for hybrid-liquid church life and the extent to which practical action promotes the theological productivity of young adults and supports their development.
Facial Pain Triggered by Inferior Turbinate Partial Resection in a Patient with a Previous History of Inferior Meatal Antrostomy: A Case Report
Authors: Park Marn Joon , Jang Yong Ju 
Published: June 2023

Objectives Inferior meatal antrostomy (IMA) is regarded as a safe method, with minimal complications, for managing various lesions in the maxillary sinus. However, in patients with persisting IMA window, resection of the inferior turbinate may result in direct airflow into the antrum, irritating the antral mucosa. Methods: Case report and review of literature. Results/Case: The present report describes a 29-year-old man who previously underwent unilateral IMA for the excision of a dentigerous cyst. The patient did not report any facial pain following the excision of the cyst. One year later, this patient underwent partial resection of the inferior turbinate for the resolution of nasal stuffiness by another surgeon. Soon after surgery, the patient developed severe facial and ocular pain on the side of the IMA, with the pain being especially aggravated upon inhalation. Endoscopy and computed tomography (CT) revealed a persisting IMA window. The patient’s severe discomfort was thought to result from direct airflow into the maxillary sinus, as the resected turbinate may have altered normal nasal airflow. A unilateral inferior meatal augmentation procedure (IMAP) with an autologous ear cartilage implant was performed, resulting in complete relief of pain and discomfort. Conclusions: Although IMA alone is a relatively safe surgical procedure, care should be taken when performing inferior turbinoplasty in patients with persistent IMA opening.

Published: June 2023

Background: Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a rare, autosomal dominant disease and epistaxis is the most common symptom. This can be treated conservatively but severe cases may require operative interventions. Endoscopic endonasal coblation of HHT lesions has been used successfully but postoperative pain management has not been well described. Objectives: This study aimed to assess levels of postoperative pain and opioid use among patients with HHT who underwent coblation of sinonasal lesions. Methods: This is a longitudinal, prospective cohort study of adult patients undergoing endoscopic endonasal coblation for treatment of HHT lesions with or without bevacizumab injection between November 2019 and March 2020 at a single academic university hospital. Patients were given preoperative questionnaires and contacted via telephone 48 hours after surgery. If they reported using opioids for pain control, they were called every 2 days until they no longer used these medications. Results: Fourteen cases, including 13 unique patients, were included in this study. Opioids were ordered on discharge in 4 cases and the average morphine milligram equivalent prescribed on discharge was 41. The median pain score on postoperative day (POD) 2 was 4 of 10. Twelve patients reported using acetaminophen and 4 were using opioid pain medications. Of those using opioid pain medications, only 1 patient was using opioid pain medication by POD 4 and denied any use after POD 10. Conclusion: This study is the first to analyze postoperative pain management and opioid prescribing patterns in HHT patients undergoing endonasal coblation of telangiectasias. Postoperative pain was mild to moderate and most patients stopped using opioid medications by POD 4, although the majority of patients solely used acetaminophen. Future studies with increased sample size will be useful to further identify predictors of need for analgesics postoperatively and other non-opioid adjuncts for pain control.

Published: June 2023

Pediatric Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) among childhood cancer survivors (CCS) measures the impact of illness and treatment from the patient’s perspective. However, parents often serve as proxies when the child cannot provide information directly. Studies of agreement between parents’ proxy assessment and child’s self-report have shown discrepancies. Understanding the reasons for discrepancies is under studied. Thus, this study examined the agreement of 160 parent-CCS dyads on the child’s domains of HRQoL by mean difference, intra-class correlation coefficients, and Bland-Altman plots. Differences in agreement were assessed by patients’ age, ethnicity, and whether or not they lived with their parents. Overall, the Physical Function Score showed good agreement between parents and CCS (ICC = 0.62), while the Social Function Score had fair agreement (ICC = 0.39). CCS were more likely to rate their Social Function Score higher than their parent. The lowest agreement for the Social Function Score was found for 18–20 years old’s (ICC = .254) versus younger or older CCS, and among non-Hispanic whites (ICC = 0.301) versus Hispanics. Differences in agreement varied by patient age and ethnicity, suggesting that other factors, including emotional, familial, and cultural factors, may influence parental awareness of CCS HRQoL.

Published: June 2023

Background: Between 25% and 50% of patients suffering from treatment-resistant schizophrenia fail to achieve a clinical response with clozapine. The rapid identification and treatment of this subgroup of patients represents a challenge for healthcare practice. Aims: To evaluate the relationship between metabolic alterations and the clinical response to clozapine. Methods: A multicenter, observational, case–control study was performed. Patients diagnosed with schizophrenia treated with clozapine were eligible (minimum dose 400 mg/d for at least 8 weeks and/or clozapine plasma levels ⩾ 350 µg/mL). According to the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) total score, patients were classified as clozapine-responsive (CR) (<80 points) or clozapine non-responsive (CNR) (⩾80 points). Groups were compared based on demographic and treatment-related characteristics, together with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, insulin, leptin, and C-reactive protein plasma levels. Plasma levels of clozapine and its main metabolite, nor-clozapine, were measured in all the participants. In addition, the potential relationship between PANSS scores and leptin or insulin plasma levels was assessed. Results: A total of 46 patients were included: 25 CR and 21 CNR. BMI and waist circumference, fasting insulin and leptin plasma levels were lower in the CNR group, while C-reactive protein was not different. Moreover, significant negative correlations were observed between PANSS positive and general psychopathology subscores, on one hand, and insulin and leptin plasma levels, on the other hand, as well as between PANSS negative subscores and leptin plasma levels. Conclusions: Our results suggest that the lack of metabolic effect induced by clozapine is associated with the lack of clinical response.

Published: June 2023

Objective The drug poisoning crisis throughout North America necessitates novel harm reduction approaches. Emerging evidence suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) may have some utility as a harm reduction modality for those with problematic substance use. This rapid review aimed to synthesize available evidence on CBD as a potential harm reduction tool for people who use drugs while providing clinical and research insights. Method A systematic search in EMBASE, MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and CINAHL was completed in July 2022. For inclusion, studies had to meet the following criteria: (1) drawn from an adult population of people who use drugs; (2) investigates CBD as an intervention for problematic substance use or harm reduction–related outcomes; (3) be published after the year 2000 and in English; and (4) be primary research or a review article. A narrative synthesis was used to group outcomes relevant to harm reduction and provide clinical and research insights. Results We screened 3,134 records, of which 27 studies (5 randomized trials) were included. The evidence remains limited, but available studies support the potential utility of CBD to reduce drug-induced craving and anxiety in opioid use disorder. There were low-quality studies suggesting that CBD may improve mood and general well-being of people who use drugs. Evidence suggests that CBD monotherapy may not be an adequate harm reduction strategy for problematic substance use but rather an adjunct to the standard of care. Conclusion Low-quality evidence suggests that CBD may reduce drug cravings and other addiction-related symptoms and that CBD may have utility as an adjunct harm reduction strategy for people who use drugs. However, there is a significant need for more research that accurately reflects CBD dosing and administration regimens used in a real-world context.
A twin-disc study of the role of the surface quality achieved by grinding on the wear resistance and rolling contact fatigue behavior of wheel/rail pairs
Authors: Cuervo PA , Toro A , Meza JM , Santa JF , Lewis R 
Published: June 2023

The tribological behavior of wheel and rail material twin-disc samples prepared under laboratory-controlled grinding operations was studied. A laboratory grinding device was designed and validated to produce similar results to those found in the field in terms of surface quality and presence of white etching layer (WEL). The test samples were evaluated in a twin-disc machine under dry and lubricated conditions. The results showed that the surface finishing parameters and the microstructure change greatly depending on the surface preparation procedure, and that such changes affect the tribological response of the samples. The wear rates of the tribological tests for the different rail surface qualities showed a reduction of 47.4% for the lubricated tests and 7.3% for the dry tests when the surfaces of the rail specimens were finished by grinding. This is only applied when the WEL thickness was less than 4 μm.

Introduction Diabetes foot disease (DFD) contributes to poor quality of life, clinical and economic burden. Multidisciplinary diabetes foot teams provide prompt access to specialist teams thereby improving limb salvage. We present a 17-year review of an inpatient multidisciplinary clinical care path (MCCP) for DFD in Singapore. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study of patients admitted for DFD and enrolled in our MCCP to a 1700-bed university hospital from 2005 to 2021. Results There were 9279 patients admitted with DFD with a mean of 545 (±119) admissions per year. The mean age was 64 (±13.3) years, 61% were Chinese, 18% Malay and 17% Indian. There was a higher proportion of Malay (18%) and Indian (17%) patients compared to the country's ethnic composition. A third of the patients had end stage renal disease and prior contralateral minor amputation. There was a reduction in inpatient major lower extremity amputation (LEA) from 18.2% in 2005 to 5.4% in 2021 (odds ratio 0.26, 95% confidence interval 0.16-0.40, P < .001) which was the lowest since pathway inception. Mean time from admission to first surgical intervention was 2.8 days and mean time from decision for revascularization to procedure was 4.8 days. The major-to-minor amputation rate reduced from 1.09 in 2005 to 0.18 in 2021, reflecting diabetic limb salvage efforts. Mean and median length of stay (LOS) for patients in the pathway was 8.2 (±14.9) and 5 (IQR = 3) days, respectively. There was a gradual trend of increase in the mean LOS from 2005 to 2021. Inpatient mortality and readmission rate was stable at 1% and 11%. Conclusion Since the institution of a MCCP, there was a significant improvement in major LEA rate. An inpatient multidisciplinary diabetic foot care path helped to improve care for patients with DFD.

Angiolymphoid Hyperplasia with Eosinophilia (ALHE) is a benign vascular proliferative disorder with uncertain etiology and pathogenesis. The aim of this paper is to report a case of ALHE in the temporal artery and discuss the general aspects of this pathology. A 29-year-old female black patient sought the Vascular Surgery Outpatient Service, complaining of bulging in the right temporal region, associated with pain and local discomfort. Physical examination revealed pulsatile bulging in the right temporal region measuring approximately 2.5 × 1.5 cm. Nuclear Magnetic Resonance showed an expansive fusiform lesion in the superficial soft parts of the right temporal region, measuring 2.9 cm in the longest longitudinal axis. Surgical excision proved to be the best therapeutic option for the patient in this case. Histopathological sections showed the proliferation of vessels of different sizes, covered by swollen endothelium, prominent inflammatory infiltrate composed of lymphocytes, plasma cells, eosinophils, and scarce histiocytes. Immunohistochemical analysis of the lesion showed positivity for CD31, corroborating the diagnosis of ALHE.
