Meaning in Psychosis: A Veteran’s Critique of the Traumas of Racism, Sexual Violence, and Intersectional Oppression
Authors: Kalofonos Ippolytos 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis clinical case study presents the case of a Latina Veteran experiencing psychosis and draws on eclectic theoretical sources, including user/survivor scholarship, phenomenology, meaning-oriented cultural psychiatry & critical medical anthropology, and Frantz Fanon’s insight on ‘sociogeny,’ to emphasize the importance of attending to the meaning within psychosis and to ground that meaning in a person’s subjective-lived experience and social world. The process of exploring the meaning and critical significance of the narratives of people experiencing psychosis is important for developing empathy and connection, the fundamental prerequisite for developing trust and therapeutic rapport. It also helps us to recognize some of the relevant aspects of a person’s lived experiences. To be understood, this Veteran’s narratives must be contextualized in her past and ongoing life experience of racism, social hierarchy, and violence. Engaging in this way with her narratives pushes us towards a social etiology that conceptualizes psychosis as a complex response to life experience, and in her case, a critical embodiment of intersectional oppression.
Investigating for Whom Brief Substance Use Interventions Are Most Effective: An Individual Participant Data Meta-analysis

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Prior research suggests that brief interventions (BIs) for alcohol and other drug use may vary in effectiveness across patient sociodemographic factors. The objective of this individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis was to explore for whom BIs delivered in general healthcare settings are more or less effective. We examined variability in BI effects by patient age, sex, employment, education, relationship status, and baseline severity of substance use using a two-stage IPD meta-analysis approach. All trials included in a parent aggregate data meta-analysis (k = 116) were invited to contribute IPD, and 29 trials provided patient-level data (12,074 participants). Among females, BIs led to significant reductions in binge alcohol consumption ($$\overline{g }$$

Lives of the Rohingya children in limbo: Childhood, education, and children's rights in refugee camps in Bangladesh
Authors: Shohel M. Mahruf C. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThe Rohingyas, an ethnic minority of Myanmar, have been denied human rights, including nationality. For decades, they have suffered from brutal oppression, discrimination, violence, torture, unjust prosecution, murder, and extreme poverty. Hostile situations in Rakhine State have forced the Rohingyas to flee from their homes and seek refuge in neighboring Bangladesh and other countries, including India, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Pakistan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and even distant Saudi Arabia. Many of the Rohingya refugees are children who escaped from their homeland with traumatic experiences and memories. In Bangladesh, the Rohingya children live in desperate conditions in overcrowded, makeshift refugee camps. They are exhausted, frustrated, and poorly nourished, and they have been battling diseases, including Covid-19, as their conditions have become more challenging and volatile. This article explores the historical context of this crisis and analyzes, from the human rights perspective, issues associated with the Rohingyas’ displacement and the impact it has had on the Rohingya children.

Abstract
Purpose
Despite the benefits of palliative care (PC) in pancreatic cancer, little is known about patients who access PC. This observational study examines the characteristics of patients with pancreatic cancer at their first episode of PC.

Methods
First-time, specialist PC episodes captured through the Palliative Care Outcomes Collaboration (PCOC), in Victoria, Australia between 2014 and 2020, for pancreatic cancer, were identified. Multivariable logistic regression analyses examined the impact of patient- and service-level characteristics on symptom burden (measured through patient-reported outcome measures and clinician-rated scores) at first PC episode.

Results
Of 2890 eligible episodes, 45% began when the patient was deteriorating and 32% ended in death. High fatigue and appetite-related distress were most common. Generally, increasing age, higher performance status and more recent year of diagnosis predicted lower symptom burden. No significant differences were noted between symptom burden of regional/remote versus major city dwellers; however, only 11% of episodes recorded the patient as a regional/remote resident. A greater proportion of first episodes for non-English-speaking patients began when the patient was unstable, deteriorating or terminal, ended in death and were more likely to be associated with high family/carer problems. Community PC setting predicted high symptom burden, with the exception of pain.

Conclusion
A large proportion of first-time specialist PC episodes in pancreatic cancer begin at a deteriorating phase and end in death, suggesting late access to PC. Timely referrals to community-based specialist PC, access in regional/remote areas, as well as development of culturally diverse support systems require further investigation.
Imaginaries of a Bulletproof Cabin: An Investigation between Law, Semiotics, and Memory
Authors: Panico Mario 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis article seeks to investigate the role that a symbol—connected to a legal event and a collective trauma—has in the construction of a past imaginary. It begins with a theoretical reflection on the role of the symbol as proposed by Juri Lotman and the function of repetition in the consolidation of collective memory. It subsequently focuses on the semiotic resonance of one specific object: the bulletproof cabin of the Nazi criminal Adolf Eichmann, used during his trial in Jerusalem, in 1961. I consider the ‘afterlives’ of this object, examining the different ‘remakes’ of Eichmann’s cabin in several mediatic and artistic contexts, focusing on the modalities that have anchored it to the post-1961 imaginary of the perpetrator and the legal consequences of his actions. To do so, the article proposes a typology of uses of the cabin, identifying the different nuances of its representation and how they encapsulate the thorny issues surrounding that infamous legal event.

Published: May 2023

AbstractIn the ovine reproductive management, a thorough breeding soundness evaluation including specific inspection of the male genital tract represents a valuable tool for assessing the reproductive potential of a selected subject and for diagnosing genital disorders. During examination, accurate inspection on penis and prepuce is necessary, since conditions affecting these structures may hamper regular coitus. Records from 1270 males undergoing breeding soundness evaluation (n = 1232) or admitted for genital disorders to the Section of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (n = 38) of the Department of Veterinary Medicine, were collected, and lesions of penis and prepuce were therefore classified. The data collected revealed that 47/1270 rams examined presented lesions of the penis and prepuce. The most frequent condition was urolithiasis accounting for over 2% of the cases, followed by lack of the urethral process (0.39% incidence), lack of the glans penis and hypospadias (0.23% cases). Moreover, most of the conditions (40%) were observed in animals less than 2 years old, suggesting the importance of a careful breeding soundness evaluation in animals at young age.

AbstractUnderstanding the immediate impacts of oil spills is essential to recognizing their long-term consequences on the marine environment. In this study, we traced the early (within one week) signals of crude oil in seawater and plankton after a major oil spill in October 2019 in the Red Sea. At the time of sampling, the plume had moved eastward, but we detected significant signs of incorporation of oil carbon into the dissolved organic carbon pool, resulting in a 10–20% increase in the ultraviolet (UV) absorption coefficient (a254) of chromophoric dissolved organic matter (CDOM), elevated oil fluorescence emissions, and depletion of the carbon isotope composition (δ13C) of the seawater. The abundance of the picophytoplankton Synechococcus was not affected, but the proportion of low nucleic acid (LNA) bacteria was significantly higher. Moreover, specific bacterial genera (Alcanivorax, Salinisphaera, and Oleibacter) were enriched in the seawater microbiome. Metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) suggested that such bacteria presented pathways for growing on oil hydrocarbons. Traces of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) were also detected in zooplankton tissues, revealing the rapid entry of oil pollutants into the pelagic food web. Our study emphasizes the early signs of short-lived spills as an important aspect of the prediction of long-term impacts of marine oil spills.
Fishing Songs from Kilwa Kisiwani, Tanzania: A Case Study of Intangible Maritime Cultural Heritage on the Swahili Coast
Authors: Lubao Claudia B. , Ichumbaki Elgidius B. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractHistorically, fishers (both men and women) have engaged in different activities ranging from preparing fishing equipment (traps, nets, fishing vessels), weather forecasting, and sailing to fishing grounds and they continue to do so today. While sailing, fishers paddle collaboratively when the wind is low and when the boat is leaking, some crew will bail the vessel. Once they arrive at the fishing grounds, fishers cast anchor, mend the fishnets, and fix the boat foresheets. If successful, the fishers collect their catch, weigh the anchor, return to shore, and prepare to sell their fish. These fishing activities have always been accompanied by maritime customs, traditions, rituals, stories, and gestures. For instance, singing is one key tradition that has continued to accompany the fishing process from the start to the end. This paper documents and present the songs that have always been part of the fishing process in Kilwa Kisiwani, along the southern coast of Tanzania. The fishing songs are presented in the context of intangible cultural heritage of the east African Swahili coast.
Motivations and attitudes towards consulting eWOM when booking accommodation
Authors: Moliner-Velázquez Beatriz , Fuentes-Blasco María , Gil-Saura Irene 
Published: May 2023

AbstractThis study explores the process of formation of attitudes towards eWOM by analyzing the relationships among “perceived credibility, volume and confirmation of consulted eWOM—motivations—attitudes towards consulted eWOM”. Using a sample of 393 Spanish hotel guests, the results confirm this chain of relationships, except for the effect of volume on motivations, and the mediating role of these motivations. The novelty of this work lies in the study of eWOM behavior from the receiver’s perspective, since it analyzes the antecedents of eWOM motivations and their relationship with the attitudes towards that information.
“Coopetition” in the presence of team and individual incentives: Evidence from the advice network of a sales organization
Authors: Homburg Christian , Schyma Theresa R. , Hohenberg Sebastian , Atefi Yashar , Ruhnau Robin-Christopher M. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTeam and individual incentives are ubiquitous in sales, but little is known about their impact on collaboration when they are applied simultaneously. The presence of both types of incentives creates a “coopetitive” environment, where forces of collaboration and competition coexist. We examine how such environments impact the likelihood (Study 1) and the effectiveness (Study 2) of collaboration in the form of advice exchange. Exponential random graph modeling (ERGM) of network data of 540 salespeople reveals that individual incentives promote advice seeking but discourage advice giving, and team incentives stimulate advice giving but reduce advice seeking (Study 1). We also find that the effectiveness of advice depends on advice givers (Study 2). In particular, when advice givers have diverse team incentives, the advice is more effective and the need for additional advice is reduced, but when advice givers have diverse individual incentives, the advice is less effective and additional advice helps.

Published: May 2023

AbstractSexual difficulties marked by poor sexual functioning is often reported by young adults, where young adulthood is an important period for the formation of intimacy in relationships. There has been increasing research showing the relationship between global self-esteem and sexual functioning, but this association is seldom examined through the bidimensional framework of self-esteem that includes domains of self-liking and self-competence. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review was to examine the empirical evidence on self-esteem domains and sexual functioning among young adults. Six databases (PsycINFO, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL Plus) were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles published from inception to June 2022. Articles were included in this review if they measured at least one domain of self-esteem, one domain of sexual functioning, reported the association between self-esteem and sexual functioning, and involved young adults from 18–30 years old. Of the 6020 records retrieved, 17 articles were included in this review. Data were extracted and synthesised, and a quality assessment tool for observational cohort and cross-sectional studies was used to appraise the quality of articles ranging from poor to good. Most studies found positive associations between self-esteem elements and sexual functioning, particularly for global self-esteem and sexual self-esteem. However, these findings cannot be generalised due to the heterogeneity in measures of self-esteem constructs. This review reveals a gap in the literature as self-liking and self-competence have not been studied together in relation to sexual functioning, where most studies have focused on sexual satisfaction.

AbstractHydroa vacciniforme lymphoproliferative disorder (HV-LPD) is a cutaneous variant of chronic active Epstein–Barr virus disease. We examined the coexpression of T- and natural killer (NK)-cell antigens in five patients with classic HV (cHV) and five with systemic HV (sHV). T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoire analysis was performed with high‑throughput sequencing. All five cHV patients had increased γδT cells (> 5%), whereas five sHV patients showed γδT- and αβT-cell dominance in two patients each, and a mixture of abnormal γδT and αβT cells in one. Circulating CD3 + T cells expressed CD16/CD56 at 7.8–42.3% and 1.1–9.7% in sHV and cHV, respectively. The percentage of CD16/CD56 + T cells was higher in the large granular lymphocyte or atypical T-cell fractions in sHV, but no TCR Vα24 invariant chain characteristic of NKT cells was detected. Considerable numbers of CD3 + cells expressing CD56 were observed in sHV skin infiltrates. Of the circulating γδT cells tested, TCR Vδ1 + cells characteristic of the epithelial type of γδT cells were dominant in two sHV cases. Thus, atypical αβT and γδT cells in HV-LPD can express NK-cell antigens, such as CD16 and CD56, and Vδ1 + epithelial-type γδT cells are a major cell type in some HV-LPD cases.
Immunotherapy for metastatic melanoma—from little benefit to first-line treatment
Authors: Mutz-Rabl Christiane G. , Koelblinger Peter , Koch Lukas 
Published: May 2023

SummaryAt the turn of the past century, unresectable metastatic melanoma was primarily treated with different chemotherapeutic agents, such as dacarbazine, with only poor efficacy. Immunotherapeutic agents, such as interleukin‑2 or adjuvant interferon alpha, were used with modest results but frequent side effects. In the last 10 years, modern immunotherapy using checkpoint inhibition has dramatically changed the treatment landscape of metastatic melanoma and is now considered the first-line treatment for stage IV melanoma. Consequently, median overall survival has increased from 9.1 months with dacarbazine to up to 72.1 months using the current gold standard ipilimumab + nivolumab first-line. In 2023, in Europe, the anti-PD1 antibodies nivolumab and pembrolizumab are licensed in the adjuvant and metastatic setting and the combination therapies ipilimumab + nivolumab and relatlimab + nivolumab are approved in the metastatic setting. Nevertheless, despite tremendous progress in the last two decades, at least 50% of our patients with stage IV melanoma still die. Currently, research focuses on combining checkpoint inhibition with other drugs such as cancer vaccines, BRAF/MEK inhibition, other tyrosine kinase inhibitors or histone deacetylase inhibitors.

AbstractTo investigate the clinical features, survival, and prognostic factors of patients with double primary malignant neoplasms (DPMNs) comprising non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and malignant solid tumors. Of the 2352 patients diagnosed with NHL, 105 (4.46%) patients were diagnosed with DPMNs, 42 (40.0%) had NHL first (the NHL-first group) and 63 (60.0%) had solid tumor first (the ST-first group). Females were more frequent in the ST-first group, and the interval time between the two tumors was longer. More NHLs in early stages and originating from extranodal sites were observed in the NHL-first group. Male, age ≥ 55 years at diagnosis of the first tumor, interval time <60 months, NHL diagnosed first, NHL arising from an extranodal site, DPMNs without breast cancer, and no surgery for the first primary tumor were associated with poorer overall survival (OS). Interval time <60 months and NHL diagnosed first were independent risk factors that affected the prognosis of patients with DPMNs. Therefore, careful monitoring and follow-up are especially important for these patients. 50.5% (53/105) of patients with DPMNs did not receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy prior to the diagnosis of the second tumor. We further compared the baseline characteristics of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(DLBCL) patients with and without solid tumors, the former had a higher proportion of extranodal DLBCL, suggesting that extranodal DLBCL is more likely to develop solid tumors than nodal DLBCL.

AbstractResveratrol is known to exhibit neuroprotective effects in many neurological disorders via autophagy modulation. However, controversial results have been reported about the therapeutic potential of resveratrol and the implication of autophagy in demyelinating diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the autophagic changes in cuprizone-intoxicated C57Bl/6 mice and explore the effect of autophagy activation by resveratrol on the demyelination and remyelination processes. Mice were fed with chow containing 0.2% cuprizone for 5 weeks, followed by a cuprizone-free diet for 2 weeks. Resveratrol (250 mg/kg/day) and/or chloroquine (an autophagy inhibitor; 10 mg/kg/day) were given for 5 weeks starting from the third week. At the end of the experiment, animals were tested on rotarod and then sacrificed for biochemical assessment, luxol fast blue (LFB) staining, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) imaging of the corpus callosum. We observed that cuprizone-induced demyelination was associated with impaired degradation of autophagic cargo, induction of apoptosis, and manifest neurobehavioral disturbances. Oral treatment with resveratrol promoted motor coordination and improved remyelination with regular compacted myelin in most axons without a significant impact on myelin basic protein (MBP) mRNA expression. These effects are mediated, at least in part, via activating autophagic pathways that may involve SIRT1/FoxO1 activation. This study verified that resveratrol dampens cuprizone-induced demyelination, and partially enhances myelin repair through modulation of the autophagic flux, since interruption of the autophagic machinery by chloroquine reversed the therapeutic potential of resveratrol.

Published: May 2023

AbstractResearch indicates that the importance the social validity of an appropriate principal-selection method may have, as well as the importance of the parameters that affect it, is directly related to the acceptance or reaction of the candidates to it and their job satisfaction. The aim of this quantitative research is to examine and present the candidate satisfaction in the selection of principals / assistant-principals of the Second Chance Schools in a major European country. The survey involved 184 candidates (77.97% of the total population) who responded to a valid and reliable evaluation scale of the qualitative characteristics of the selection procedures. The MUSA (multicriteria satisfaction analysis) method was used for analyzing the satisfaction of candidates with respect to satisfaction criteria, associated with four dimensions. The results indicate that candidates are overall satisfied, although only a small portion of their expectations is fulfilled. Moreover, it was found that interpersonal relationships and communication play a crucial role in the recruitment and selection process. Finally, ways of satisfaction improvement are provided, according to each factor.
