Effects of multisensory environment/stimulation therapy on adults with cognitive impairment and/or special needs: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Authors: Helbling Meret , Grandjean Marie‐Laure , Srinivasan Murali 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAimThis review aimed to evaluate the effects of multisensory environments/stimulation (MSE/MSS) therapy, on the behavior and psychological symptoms in adults with cognitive impairment and/or special needs.MethodsOnline database searches were performed to identify studies reporting on the effects of MSS/MSE therapy in adults (>18 years). Data were extracted for the following investigated outcomes including anxiety, depression, mood, behavioral attributes, biomedical parameters, cognition, motor skills, quality of life (QoL), pain, and end of life quality. Two reciprocally blinded investigators extracted the data. Inter‐investigator reliability (𝝹) was calculated. A meta‐analysis and a qualitative analysis were performed on the information extracted.ResultsThirty‐six studies were included for data extraction and analysis. Meta‐analysis of the included studies revealed a significant improvement with the MSE/MSS therapy, for agitation (p = .018), anxiety (p = .023), cognition (p < .001), and depression (p < .001). MSS/MSE therapy demonstrated a tendency for the improvement of the QoL in adults (p = .05).ConclusionMSE/MSS therapies are beneficial in cognitively impaired adults and improve their anxiety, depression, cognitive and other behavioral attributes such as agitative behaviors. Promoting these therapies in geriatric care may help to improve/reduce the challenging/care‐resistant behaviors in adults and facilitate effective provision of the necessary care.
Vaccine schedule recommendations and updates for patients with hematologic malignancy post‐hematopoietic cell transplant or CAR T‐cell therapy
Authors: Reynolds Gemma , Hall Victoria G. , Teh Benjamin W. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractRevaccination after receipt of a hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) or cellular therapies is a pillar of patient supportive care, with the potential to reduce morbidity and mortality linked to vaccine‐preventable infections. This review synthesizes national, international, and expert consensus vaccination schedules post‐HCT and presents evidence regarding the efficacy of newer vaccine formulations for pneumococcus, recombinant zoster vaccine, and coronavirus disease 2019 in patients with hematological malignancy. Revaccination post‐cellular therapies are less well defined. This review highlights important considerations around poor vaccine response, seroprevalence preservation after cellular therapies, and the optimal timing of revaccination. Future research should assess the immunogenicity and real‐world effectiveness of new vaccine formulations and/or vaccine schedules in patients post‐HCT and cellular therapy, including analysis of vaccine response that relates to the target of cellular therapies.

2000年以来巴西华侨华人人口基本情况分析
Authors: 束 长生 , 麦 耐思 
Published: July 2023

近年来，巴西华侨华人研究引起了国际国内学者的兴趣。然而，由于中巴两国距离遥远，语言不通，加上资料缺乏，目前该领域的研究规模与进展并不大。在此，笔者根据现有中巴两国公布的官方资料，对巴西华侨华人的人口，特别是2000年以来的中国移民人口做一个综合分析，目的是为今后的研究打下一个坚实的基础。 本文分为两个部分：首先是对1978年以来中国大陆人移民巴西的历史做一个简要回顾，其次，对巴西政府公布的统计数据做全面分析。本文对巴西的中国移民人口的数量，签证类别，性别比例，年龄特征，文化水平，就业情况，收入水准，非合规移民数量和投资移民人数，投资金额等进行了详细的分析。我们发现，1978年以来中国民众移民巴西的人口不断增长，出现了两个峰值，一个是2009年，由于巴西大赦外国非合规移民，有3,688名非合规中国籍移民获得了巴西永久居留权，另外一个峰值是2014年，由于巴西主办世界杯足球赛，当年入境巴西的中国移民达到峰值。之后，人数缓慢下降，到2020年因新冠疫情的全世界大流行而近乎停止。我们预计新冠疫情过后，中国移民的流入量肯定会有所恢复，但是很难达到2014年的水平。在收入方面，中国籍移民的收入水平在巴西处于中等偏上水平，已经达到日本籍移民的收入水平。2000–2018年期间，中国人移民巴西的方式呈现多元化，尤其是投资移民人数逐年增长。

Aim. The present study investigated the effects of laser and conventional in-office bleaching, and polishing on the color of stained composite resin. Materials and Methods. A microhybrid composite (Clearfil AP-X) and a nanohybrid composite (Grandio) were selected. Twenty-four discs (2 × 10 mm) for each composite were prepared. The samples were immersed in coffee solution (25 g of coffee in 250 mL water) for seven days. Then the samples were divided into three groups (n = 8) and the stains were removed using bleaching (with Opalescence Xtra Boost), diode laser irradiation with Heydent material and a Sof-Lex polishing kit.

color parameters were determined using a spectrophotometer before and after immersion and after stain removal procedures, and the overall color changes (ΔE) were calculated. The data were analyzed with two-way analysis of variance. Results. In the Clearfil composite resin group, the mean ΔE compared to the baseline using in-office bleaching, laser irradiation, and Sof-Lex polishing kit were 3.31, 3.35, and 4.93, respectively. These values with the Grandio composite resin were 3.31, 6.35, and 4.57, respectively. The highest capacity to remove stains was related to the conventional in-office bleaching method. Grandio composite resin underwent more color changes than Clearfil composite resin significantly (P-value < 0.05). Conclusion. Both composite resins exhibited color changes after immersion in the discoloring solution. However, after staining-removing procedures, the ΔE values decreased. Decreases in the ΔE values were not sufficient to restore the color to that before immersion in the discoloring solution with any stain-removing methods.
What Style Guides Tell Secular Journalists about Muslims and Islam
Authors: Munnik Michael B. 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Journalists in secular contexts report – accurately and fairly, we hope – on religious communities and events. Quantitative studies of media content and discourse have suggested a rise in reporting on religion in general and, since 9/11, Islam in particular, with misrepresentations and negative representations. I draw on findings from a new study evaluating journalistic style guides on their representation of Muslims and Islam. A researcher and I reviewed academic literature on style guides, surveyed news organisations across the UK for the tools they use, and assessed those tools. In this paper, I consider the representations that emerge in ten different resources, ranging from in-house style guides to documents prepared by charities and even that most basic of resources – the dictionary. I consider their ease of use, their currency, and the quality of their contents. I am also attentive to the political context: for example, The Guardian has a richer, fuller, and more explanatory set of entries related to the tradition and its adherents than The Daily Telegraph, and this matches assessments of how these news organisations treat Muslims and Islam. From this, I comment on the adequacy of these style guides for such an important news topic in the 21st Century and problematise the utility of style guides in general as a resource for uncertain journalists.
Presidential Address for the ismrc Virtual Conference 2021
Authors: Sumiala Johanna 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
In this presidential address to the International Society for Media, Religion and Culture (ismrc) I argue for the relevance of studying digital religion as a public phenomenon in one particular context: within the structures of hybrid media. While hybrid as a concept has achieved, in recent years, considerable interest in media and communication studies, it has also been addressed in the study of digital religion. Here, I wish to provide a structure-oriented approach to such hybrid media and argue how this approach could provide a valuable contribution to the study of digital religion in the future.
The Political Economy of Human Development: Colonial Asia, 1900–2000
Authors: Tomlinson B. R. (Tom) 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
How did Asian states and peoples try to achieve better lives across the twentieth century, and how far did they succeed? Modern discussions of development concentrate on the importance of enhancing personal capabilities and human development, rather than on simple economic growth. The comparative history of colonial Asian countries, both before and after political independence, shows the range of economic, political, social, and environmental conditions necessary for such improvements. Increases in life expectancy across the range of countries are a useful metric to compare public health and the supply of basic needs. Countering endemic disease – especially malaria – has played an important part here. One key to success in the fight against malaria has been the ability of states, local authorities, and communities to provide support-based security to those who require it. Some colonial Asian countries have been better at this than others and have prospered accordingly.
Navigating a Sea of Knowledge
Authors: Mukherjee Rila 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
This review article emphasizes the importance of using the idea of material culture as a tool for writing global histories of the maritime world. Taking the Indian Ocean as a case study, the article contends that the multiple, diverse avenues of communication reaching across its waters profoundly affected religions, cultures, and languages by way of texts and music, and through various types of imaginings like myths and invocations of sacred landscapes and seascapes.
Investigations into these ideas and things not only direct our attention away from trade histories in the seas, they also counteract the maritime blindness that prevails in the academy, because the histories that result from these investigations are much more nuanced in their understanding of space/place. Material culture, through flows that are considered to be pluricultural in nature, can therefore provide a useful lens for studying the relationship between the local and the global.
A Postcolonial Reading of Donald Sinderby’s The Jewel of Malabar: An Analysis of Colonial Engagement in Twentieth-Century Malabar
Authors: Hemachandran Revathy , Vinai Maya 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
Several historical accounts of colonialists’ entanglements in Malabar have been recorded. Colonialist historiography aimed to popularize the achievements of Europeans stationed in the empire. The representation of European characters in The Jewel of Malabar, a novel published in 1927 by the English soldier and writer Donald Ryder Stephens under the pen name Donald Sinderby, accepts the colonizers’ righteous intent of introducing Western culture and religion and the scientific temperament into the colonies. The article argues that a power nexus existed between the colonizers and natives (perceived as elites by various social groups) and shows how the social transactions between the two led to an internalization and proliferation of the need of the white savior. A close analysis of The Jewel of Malabar examines the nature of social transactions between the colonizer and the colonized, and demonstrates the creation of a dependency that is perceived as a symbiotic arrangement, by which some natives are protected from others while giving the colonizers a firmer command of the colony’s resources. Furthermore, the article also explores how Western modernization was used to provide a righteous intent cloaking the colonizers’ motives (conquest and exploitation) while intensifying the existing binary within colonies, that of nondangerous natives needing protection from dangerous ones, with Hindus and Moplahs playing these roles.

Summary
Andean Walnut (Juglans neotropica Diels-Juglandaceae) is a long-lived, deciduous broadleaf Tropical Montane Cloud Forest (TMCF) tree species native to the Andes Cordillera; nevertheless, it has received limited attention for dendro-quantitative wood anatomical studies. Based on 70 increment cores from 50 Andean Walnut trees at two Peruvian TMCFs, two chronologies (from 1969 to 2020 and from 1964 to 2020) were developed. The xylem vessel parameters assessment allowed us to detect South American Monsoon System (SAMS) precipitation signals in the Andean Walnuts’ wood. Dendro-wood anatomical features can be assessed within an annual growth ring, which allows for assessing intra-annual past and present wood anatomy-function relationships and its climate vulnerability.
Transcendent and Immanent Efficacy in Divination: A Description and Classification of the Diviners from Hong Mai’s 洪邁 (1123–1202) Yijian zhi 夷堅志 (The Chronicles of Yijian)
Authors: Bikir Radu 
Published: July 2023

Abstract
The term shushu 數術 is commonly accepted to describe and include a wide range of diviners in China. But can we use the same group identifier to classify both a clairvoyant master, who is highly skilled and accurate in prognostication, and a purely technical user of shushu, who may often fail in his interpretations? The goal of this article is therefore to nuance this classification by finding other ways of categorization through close examination of the mantic specialists encountered in Hong Mai’s Yijian zhi. This examination focuses on three groups: the clairvoyants, the technicians, and the perspicacious characters. All three of these groups make use of what the author identifies as transcendent divination and immanent divination.
The Correlation of Thyroid Hormone Levels and Anti-Thyroidal Drugs on Thyroid Size, Weight, and Ease of Surgical Dissection for Thyroidectomy for Graves’ Disease

Published: July 2023

Background Patients with Graves’ Disease often have a larger thyroid size than patients without thyroid disease. These patients also have elevated T3 and T4 with decreased TSH. Purpose We evaluate whether these thyroid labs, the use of antithyroid agents, or the size of a thyroid on ultrasound, correlate with the pathological size of a thyroid in patients who undergo total thyroidectomy for Graves’ Disease. We further determine whether these parameters affect perioperative complications. Research Design A retrospective review of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for Graves’ Disease was performed from January 2004 to December 2016 in a single institution. Study Sample 392 patients were included in the study. Data Collection and/or Analysis Univariate analyses were performed to compare thyroid size on US and pathology as well as weight to preoperative thyroid hormone values and medical comorbidities. Spearman rank correlation and ANOVA were used to identify factors associated with thyroid weight, total pathology size, and differences in size. Multivariate analysis was also performed to evaluate for correlation between thyroid function and perioperative complications. Results We found that elevated pre-operative T3 levels were associated with larger pathologic size ( P = .027) and a greater difference in pathology vs. US thyroid volumes ( P = .005), but not increased thyroid weight ( P = .286). No significant differences were found for thyroid weight, pathology size, or difference in size for TSH, T4, or any specific preoperative ATD given. Only postoperative calcium levels were found to be statistically significant for TSH < 0.27 ( P = .024) for peri-operative complications. Conclusions These findings may allow for more accurate preoperative planning and intraoperative expectations in patients with Graves’ Disease.
Hippocampal phase precession is preserved under ketamine, but the range of precession across a theta cycle is reduced
Authors: Speers Lucinda J , Sissons Daena J , Cleland Lana , Bilkey David K 
Published: July 2023

Background: Hippocampal phase precession, which depends on the precise spike timing of place cells relative to local theta oscillations, has been proposed to underlie sequential memory. N-methyl-D-asparate (NMDA) receptor antagonists such as ketamine disrupt memory and also reproduce several schizophrenia-like symptoms, including spatial memory impairments and disorganized cognition. It is possible that these impairments result from disruptions to phase precession. Aims/methods: We used an ABA design to test whether an acute, subanesthetic dose (7.5 mg/kg) of ketamine disrupted phase precession in CA1 of male rats as they navigated around a rectangular track for a food reward. Results/outcomes: Ketamine did not affect the ability of CA1 place cells to precess despite changes to place cell firing rates, local field potential properties and locomotor speed. However, ketamine reduced the range of phase precession that occurred across a theta cycle. Conclusion: Phase precession is largely robust to acute NMDA receptor antagonism by ketamine, but the reduced range of precession could have important implications for learning and memory.

Published: July 2023

Objective: This study aims to quantify the potential age bias in screening of hyperactive/impulsive presentations of ADHD in children ages 5 to 12 through comparison of age-based and overall percentiles in screening. Method: A referred clinical sample of 307 children ages 5 to 12 with behavioral concerns completed the Vanderbilt Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder Diagnostic Parent Rating Scale (VADPRS) and were formally evaluated for ADHD with a diagnostic interview. Analysis utilizing logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was performed to compare the screening performance of agebased and overall percentiles. Results: The age-based percentiles demonstrated no improvement in the analyzed models compared to overall percentiles in hyperactive presentation ADHD screening. This finding was present in the overall sample and in the sub analysis of the 5 to 6 year old children. Conclusions: This study identifies no improvement in modeling of hyperactive/impulsive ADHD screening when considering a child’s age using age-based percentiles.
