Authors: Scott Joseph J. , Vernon Lynette , Metse Alexandra P. 
Published: July 2023

ABSTRACTBACKGROUNDThe worldwide COVID‐19 government restrictions imposed on young people to limit virus spread have precipitated a growing and long‐term educational and health crisis.CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE THEORYThis novel study used Sen's Capabilities Approach as a theoretical framework to examine the current health and educational impacts of COVID‐19 on youth, referencing emerging literature. The objective was to inform the design of an internationally relevant framework for school health promotion to support young people through and after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Mapping of existing health resources, internal/external conversion factors and capabilities were used to identify classroom, school and system level strategies that will enable young people to flourish. Four central enablers were identified and used in the design of the International Framework for School Health Promotion (IFSHP).IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOL HEALTH POLICY, PRACTICE AND EQUITYThe IFSHP can be used by educational institutions, school leaders and teachers to innovate existing health promotion programs, policies and practices to support young people through and after the COVID‐19 pandemic.CONCLUSIONSSchool systems, schools and teachers are encouraged to utilize the IFSHP to review and innovate existing school health programs to ensure they meet the increased physical and mental health needs of young people.
A tool for detecting giant kelp canopy biomass decline in the Californias
Authors: Tennies Nathan K. , Alberto Filipe 
Published: July 2023

AbstractKelp species provide many ecosystem services associated with their three‐dimensional structures. Among these, fast‐growth, canopy‐forming species, like giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera, are the foundation of kelp forests across many temperate reefs. Giant kelp populations have experienced regional declines in different parts of the world. Giant kelp canopy is very dynamic and can take years to recover from disturbance, challenging comparisons of standing biomass with historical baselines. The Santa Barbara Coastal LTER (SBC LTER), curates a time series of Landsat sensed surface cover and biomass for giant kelp in the west coast of North America. In the last decade, this resource has been fundamental to understanding the species' population dynamics and drivers. However, simple ready‐to‐use summary statistics aimed at classifying regional kelp decline or recovery are not readily available to stakeholders and coastal managers. To this end, we describe here two simple metrics made available through the R package kelpdecline. First, the proportion of Landsat pixels in decline (PPD), in which current biomass is compared with a historical baseline, and second, a pixel occupancy trend (POT), in which current year pixel occupancy is compared to the time‐series long probability of occupancy. The package produces raster maps and output tables summarizing kelp decline and trends over a 0.25 × 0.25° scale. Using kelpdecline, we show how sensitivity analysis on PPD parameter variation can increase the confidence of kelp decline estimates.

AbstractPurposeSocial capital is thought to contribute to health and well‐being, but its application to a rural context is poorly understood. This study seeks to examine how different forms of social capital relate to health and well‐being among rural residents and the extent to which race and degree of rurality moderates these relationships.MethodsData from a population‐based survey of 6 counties in rural Georgia (n = 1,385) are used. We examined 3 forms of social capital (diversity of interaction, civic engagement, and voting behavior) in relation to 3 health and well‐being measures (overall life satisfaction, general health status, and 30‐day physical health).FindingsInteracting with more diverse social networks was associated with higher overall life satisfaction for White but not Black participants (P ≤ .001). For those living in more rural communities, interacting with a more diverse social network was more strongly associated with greater general health as compared to those who lived “in town” (P ≤ .01). Greater civic engagement and voting behavior were associated with greater general health for White but not Black participants (Ps < .05). Likewise, voting in all 3 elections was associated with greater overall life satisfaction and fewer days of poor physical health for White but not Black participants (Ps ≤ .05).ConclusionSocial capital may be associated with positive health and well‐being among those living in rural areas, but it may vary by race and degree of community rurality, suggesting the need to further understand how social capital operates in a rural context.

Published: July 2023

SummaryMelatonin has gained growing interest as a treatment of insomnia, despite contradictory findings, and a low level of evidence. A systematic review and meta‐analysis was conducted following PRISMA criteria, to assess the efficacy of melatonin and ramelteon compared with placebo on sleep quantity and quality in insomnia disorder, while also considering factors that may impact their efficacy. This review included 22 studies, with 4875 participants, including 925 patients treated with melatonin, 1804 treated with ramelteon and 2297 receiving a placebo. Most studies evaluated the acute efficacy of prolonged release (PR) melatonin in insomnia disorder. Compared with placebo, PR melatonin appears efficacious with a small to medium effect size on subjective sleep onset latency (sSOL) (p = 0.031; weighted difference = −6.30 min), objective sleep onset latency (oSOL) (p < 0.001; weighted difference = −5.05 min), and objective sleep efficiency (oSE) (p = 0.043; weighted difference = 1.91%). For the subgroup mean age of patients ≥55, PR melatonin was efficacious on oSE with a large effect size (p < 0.001; weighted difference = 2.95%). Ramelteon was efficacious with a large effect size at 4 weeks on objective total sleep time (oTST) (p = 0.010; weighted difference = 17.9 min), subjective total sleep time (sTST) (p = 0.006; weighted difference = 11.7 min), sSOL (p = 0.009; weighted difference = −8.74 min), and oSOL (p = 0.017; weighted difference = −14 min). Regarding long‐term effects, ramelteon has a large effect size on oTST (p < 0.001; weighted difference = 2.02 min) and sTST (p < 0.001; weighted difference = 14.5 min). PR melatonin and ramelteon appear efficacious compared with placebo for insomnia symptoms with PR melatonin showing mostly small to medium effect sizes. PR melatonin for individuals with a mean age ≥ 55 and ramelteon show larger effect sizes.
Maternal psychological control and adolescent adjustment: Sleep as a moderator

Published: July 2023

SummaryMaternal psychological control has been linked consistently to poorer adjustment for adolescents, however, studies of variability in the association between psychological control and adjustment are rare. Sleep serves crucial bioregulatory functions that promote well‐being and protect youths against poor adjustment associated with negative family environments. We hypothesised that the link between maternal psychological control and adolescent maladjustment would be strongest for youths with poorer actigraphy‐based sleep. The current study included 245 adolescents (Mage = 15.79 years, 52.2% girls, 33.1% Black/African American and 66.9% White/European American; 43% at or below the poverty line). Adolescents reported on their mothers’ psychological control toward them, as well as their internalising and externalising symptoms (aggressive and rule breaking behaviours). Several sleep variables were derived: minutes, onset time, and variability in each parameter over 1 week. For youths with shorter, less consistent sleep (both mean levels and variability in minutes and onset), maternal psychological control was associated with adjustment difficulties, especially externalising symptoms. This association was not significant for youth obtaining longer, more consistent sleep. The results were most evident for variability in sleep minutes and onset as moderators of effects. The findings suggest that longer and more consistent sleep is an important protective factor in the context of more controlling parenting.
Place and local identity in the Europe of nations: Catalonia and its cities in Restoration Spain (1875–1923)
Authors: Cao‐Costoya David 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article suggests that local places and civic identities were historically relevant in the period when national politics and cultures emerged in Europe but have largely not received due attention in the historiography. It argues that the production of the local is a significant factor for understanding the configuration of the nation and that it was tied to how communities—and the agents that constituted them—constructed their own subjectivity and negotiated their place in the social world. It first provides a review of recent historical studies on collective territorial identities to underscore the relative lack of attention given to the local dimension and identify approaches that can be applied to the study of local cultures. It then focuses on the case of Catalonia in Restoration Spain, showing how region‐building dynamics and nationalisation processes coexisted and interacted with strongly assertive civic identities.
Endoscopic Resection and Decompression for Lateral Displacement of Cage after Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Case Report from a Single Center

Published: July 2023

BackgroundLateral displacement of cage is a rarely seen complication of oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF). To the best of our knowledge, this complication has always been revised with posterior open surgery. However, open surgery often associates with large trauma and long period of recovery.Case PresentationIn the case presented, a 64‐year‐old male patient with lateral displacement of cage which consequently caused neurological symptoms after OLIF, was reported and surgically revised with an endoscopic resection and decompression technique. The surgery was performed through a posterolateral approach which was similar to transforaminal approach, with estimated blood loss of 45mL and whole operation time of 70 min. Neurological symptoms were disappeared after operation immediately and the patient was discharged 2 days later. He reported no symptoms other than mild weakness of the lower back at the last follow‐up of 12 months.ConclusionEndoscopic decompression technique may be an effective alternative to surgically treat lateral displacement of cage after OLIF with advantages of minimal invasion and quick recovery.
Chronic pain outcomes of patients receiving electroconvulsive therapy: A systematic review and case series
Authors: Yoon Isabel A. , Galarneau David 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe potential benefits of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) in chronic pain and several theories for its mechanism have been reported in the past, but mixed findings have also been reported. In the current systematic review and case series, our primary aim was to assess whether pain and functional outcomes are improved after ECT in patients with chronic pain. Secondary objectives included examining whether psychiatric improvement, specific pain diagnoses, and demographic or medical characteristics were associated with differences in pain treatment response.MethodsWe performed a retrospective chart review to identify patients with chronic pain diagnoses for more than 3 months prior to the initiation of ECT and a systematic literature search on electronic databases for studies on chronic pain outcomes after ECT.ResultsEleven patients with various chronic pain diagnoses and comorbid psychiatric conditions were identified in the case series. Six patients reported improvement in pain while 10 patients reported improvement in mood following ECT. Systematic review identified 22 articles reporting a total of 109 cases. Eighty‐five (78%) of cases reported reduction in pain while 96.3% of the patients with a comorbid psychiatric diagnosis reported improvement in mood symptoms post‐ECT. While there was an association between improvement in mood and pain in studies with numeric ratings in both outcomes (r = 0.61; p < 0.001), some patients reported pain improvement without improvement in mood in both the case series and the pooled analysis of cases in the review. Certain pain diagnoses such as CRPS, phantom limb pain, neuropathic pain, and low back pain have consistently reported benefits and should be further studied in future studies with matched case controls.ConclusionECT may be offered to patients with certain pain conditions who have not responded sufficiently to conventional therapies, particularly when comorbid mood symptoms are present. Improved documentation practices on the outcomes in chronic pain patients receiving ECT will help generate more studies that are needed on this topic.
Epidemic propagation risk study with effective fractal dimension
Authors: Nian Fuzhong , Li Fangfang 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this article, the risk of epidemic transmission on complex networks is studied from the perspective of effective fractal dimension. First, we introduce the method of calculating the effective fractal dimension of the network by taking a scale‐free network as an example. Second, we propose the construction method of administrative fractal network and calculate the . using the classical susceptible exposed infectious removed (SEIR) infectious disease model, we simulate the virus propagation process on the administrative fractal network. The results show that the larger the is, the higher the risk of virus transmission is. Later, we proposed five parameters P, M, B, F, and D, where P denotes population mobility, M denotes geographical distance, B denotes GDP, F denotes , and D denotes population density. The new epidemic growth index formula was obtained by combining these five parameters, and the validity of I in epidemic transmission risk assessment was demonstrated by parameter sensitivity analysis and reliability analysis. Finally, we also confirmed the reliability of the SEIR dynamic transmission model in simulating early COVID‐19 transmission trends and the ability of timely quarantine measures to effectively control the spread of the epidemic.
Differences in the importance of romantic structures among transgender and cisgender adults during the COVID‐19 pandemic
Authors: Campbell Jessica T. , Piazza Malia , Gesselman Amanda N. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe stressors of the global COVID‐19 pandemic have led to an increased need for support. For adults, romantic relationships often represent an environment of emotional support and stability; as such, attitudes toward—and particularly the importance of—romantic relationships may have shifted as a result of the pandemic. The present cross‐sectional study explores how U.S. transgender (n = 99) and cisgender people (n = 1886) report whether they have perceived a change in their feelings about the importance of long‐term romantic structures (i.e., committed relationships, monogamy, cohabiting with a romantic partner, and marriage) as a result of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Results found that transgender people reported a more positive perceived change in importance placed on all four romantic items relative to cisgender people. Different forms of stress (e.g., social, financial, health) associated with the COVID‐19 pandemic may have contributed to an increased need, and subsequent desire, for social connection and support in the form of romantic relationships among transgender individuals to a greater extent than cisgender individuals, perhaps in part due to the additional layers of stress transgender people must navigate. Results are discussed through the lens of the minority stress framework.
Complex adaptive blended learning for higher GIS education: A theory‐driven pedagogy moving forward after the pandemic
Authors: Yan Yingwei , Feng Chen‐Chieh , Leong Lewis Kwek Boon 
Published: July 2023

AbstractNone of the prior studies implementing blended learning (BL) for GIS education has explored pedagogical theories to support BL design, and none coupled blended GIS learning practice with theories. Based on the theoretical framework of complex adaptive blended learning system (CABLS), this article presents a holistic and systematic view of BL for higher GIS education (termed as CABLS‐GIS), where its key components are tightly integrated as an integral whole. The framework was implemented for an introductory‐level GIS course to empirically evaluate the effectiveness of a BL design from students' perspectives. Most students involved in the implementation agreed that the BL enhanced their learning outcomes. They were mostly positive about the BL and motivated to use the BL materials. Incorporating more BL materials, especially practical ones, and active learning activities were suggested by them. A few negative comments about the BL suggested a thorough consideration of individual learners' characteristics.

Published: July 2023

AbstractNorovirus is the second most common cause of diarrhea among solid organ transplant recipients. There are currently no approved therapies for Norovirus, which can substantially impact quality of life, particularly in an immunocompromised patient population. In order to establish clinical efficacy and support any medication claims related to a patient's symptoms or function, the Food and Drug Administration requires that a trial's primary endpoints be derived from patient reported outcome measures‐ an outcome that comes directly from the patient, without interpretation of the patient's response by a clinician or anyone else. In this paper, we describe our study team's approach to the definition, selection, measurement and evaluation of patient reported outcome measures as part of establishing clinical efficacy of Nitazoxanide for acute and chronic Norovirus in solid organ transplant recipients. We specifically describe our approach to measuring the primary efficacy endpoint‐ days to cessation of vomiting and diarrhea after randomization through 160 days, measured through daily symptom diaries as well as the impact of treatment on exploratory efficacy endpoints, particularly change in the impact of norovirus on psychological function and quality of life.

The enhancing effect of imports of intermediate inputs on firms' exports
Authors: Requena Francisco , Serrano Guadalupe , Mínguez Raúl 
Published: July 2023

AbstractWe investigate the impact of imports of intermediate inputs on export value and portfolio among Spanish regular two‐way trade of manufacturing firms over the period 1997–2018. After controlling for firm characteristics and addressing endogeneity, we find that firms that import intermediate inputs from non‐EUEFTA countries enhance the volume and scope of their EU15 exports. The magnitude of the impact is similar for high‐income countries and low‐income countries and there are no changes in sourcing patterns before or after the financial crisis.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe the appearance of lesions noted on abdominal computed tomography (CT) in dogs with spontaneous hemoperitoneum and determine the utility in using CT to differentiate benign from malignant lesions.DesignRetrospective case series.SettingSingle‐center, university veterinary teaching emergency service.AnimalsTwenty‐six dogs presented between 2015 and 2020 with spontaneous hemoperitoneum confirmed via abdominocentesis with pre‐ and postcontrast abdominal CT performed prior to surgery or euthanasia.InterventionsNone.Measurements and Main ResultsOn histopathological diagnosis, 20 of 26 lesions were found to be malignant, and 6 of 26 were benign. Two radiologists reviewed the CTs. Radiologist 1 correctly identified 5 of 6 (83.3%) benign cases and 18 of 20 (90%) malignant cases. Radiologist 2 correctly identified 2 of 6 (33.3%) benign lesions and 18 of 20 (90%) malignant cases. Of the 10 imaging descriptors evaluated, none were significantly associated with the histological diagnosis.ConclusionsResults from the current study suggest that abdominal CT imaging of spontaneous hemoperitoneum cases is not a reliable indicator of malignancy versus benignancy. As such, prognosis should not be defined using this modality alone prior to emergency surgery and instead should be concluded based on the clinical course of the patient and histopathological findings of the resected tissues after surgery.

AbstractObjectiveTo determine the influence of screw direction on complications following transcondylar screw placement for the treatment of canine humeral intracondylar fissures (HIFs).Study designEquivalence, parallel group, randomized clinical trial.Sample populationFifty‐two client owned dogs (73 elbows).MethodsTranscondylar screw placement was randomized to either a medial or lateral approach. The primary outcome was the incidence of postoperative complications.ResultsThere were 37 cases in the lateral approach group and 36 cases in the medial approach group. There was a significantly greater proportion of postoperative complications following placement of transcondylar screws from a lateral to medial direction (p = .001). There were seven cases with complications (19%) in the medial approach group versus 23 cases with complications (62%) in the lateral approach group. The majority of complications were seromas (n = 13) and surgical site infections (n = 16) with 4 complications requiring further surgery. Implant area moment of inertia (AMI), normalized to bodyweight, was lower in dogs with a major complication (p = .037).ConclusionTranscondylar screws placed from lateral to medial for canine HIFs had a greater proportion of postoperative complications in this randomized clinical trial design. Implants with a lower AMI, relative to bodyweight, were more likely to lead to major complications.Clinical significanceWe recommend placing transcondylar screws from medial to lateral for canine HIFs to reduce the risk of postoperative complications. Relatively small diameter implants had an increased risk of major complications.
