AbstractObjectiveThe aim of the study was to assess the efficacy of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with chemotherapy‐induced cardiomyopathy (CIC).MethodsWith the increasing incidence of CIC, the association of CRT with improvement in clinical outcomes, echocardiographic parameters, and New York Heart Classification (NYHA) class was assessed through this qualitative systematic review.ResultsThe five studies included a total of 169 patients who underwent CRT after CIC, and of these, 61 (36.1%) patients were males. All studies showed an improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), among other echocardiographic parameters of LV volume. However, these findings are limited by short follow‐up periods, small sample sizes, and the absence of a control group.ConclusionCRT was associated with improvement in all patient parameters with CIC.
Black Water Politics: Navigating Oral History, Memory, and Power Along the Rivers of the Guyanese Northwest
Authors: Tamboli Vikram 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article enriches the narrative of ethno‐racial politics in Guyana by analysing the lives and histories of people who live and work in the Guyanese Northwest. It narrates how histories of escape, freedom, and fortune—along with the associated development of the Guyanese interior as an extractive space—were essential to understanding the broader forces that shaped working peoples’ mobility in the region. Using a combined method of conducting oral history, memory analysis, ethnography, participant observation, and archival research, the article demonstrates how histories of mobility (or lack of) and notions of being Black produced—and were produced through—the gendered historical politics of socio‐cultural mixture. The borderland space between the Caribbean and Amazonia, this article argues, helps deepen and recontextualise aspects of the divisive political history of Guyana.
Integrating the theory of planned behavior and the self‐determination theory to promote Mediterranean diet adherence: A randomized controlled trial

Published: July 2023

AbstractThe Mediterranean diet (MD) is one of the healthiest and most sustainable food regimes. Nevertheless, MD diffusion is still limited, emphasizing the need to understand the psychosocial factors that could predict and promote its adoption. Starting from an integrated model of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Self‐Determination Theory (SDT), the present randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of manipulating motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) on intention and MD adherence behavior. Participants included 726 Italian adults randomly allocated to one of three conditions: autonomous motivation manipulation, controlled motivation manipulation, and control group. TPB variables were measured immediately after manipulation (T1), while MD adherence was evaluated 2 weeks later (T2). Results from multivariate analyses of variance highlighted that participants in the autonomous motivation condition reported higher intention and a more favorable cognitive attitude than control group participants. However, no change in behavior was found. Moreover, a path analysis with mediation effect showed that the impact of autonomous motivation condition versus control group on intention was mediated by cognitive attitude. Findings support the integration of TPB and SDT to encourage intention to adhere to the MD, also suggesting that prompting autonomous motivation may help to promote a greater diffusion of this healthy and sustainable dietary pattern.

ObjectivesTo determine the prevalence and predictors of mesorectal lymph node (MLN) metastases on prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA)‐based positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (PCa) following radical therapy.Materials and MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional analysis of all PCa patients with biochemical failure following radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy who underwent an 18F‐DCFPyL‐PSMA‐PET/CT at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre between December 2018 and February 2021. Lesions with PSMA scores ≥2 were considered positive for PCa involvement (PROMISE classification). Predictors of MLN metastasis were evaluated using univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses.ResultsOur cohort consisted of 686 patients. The primary treatment method was radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy in 528 (77.0%) and 158 patients (23.0%), respectively. The median serum PSA level was 1.15 ng/mL. Overall, 384 patients (56.0%) had a positive scan. Seventy‐eight patients (11.3%) had MLN metastasis, with 48/78 (61.5%) having MLN involvement as the only site of metastasis. On multivariable analysis, presence of pT3b disease (odds ratio 4.31, 95% confidence interval 1.44–14.2; P = 0.011) was significantly associated with increased odds of MLN metastasis, whereas surgical factors (radical prostatectomy vs radiotherapy; performance/extent of pelvic nodal dissection), surgical margin positivity, and Gleason Grade were not.ConclusionsIn this study, 11.3% of PCa patients with biochemical failure had MLN metastasis on 18F‐DCFPyL‐PET/CT. pT3b disease was associated with 4.31‐fold significantly increased odds of MLN metastasis. These findings suggest alternate drainage routes for PCa cells, either via alternate lymphatic drainage from the seminal vesicles themselves or secondary to direct extension from posteriorly located tumours invading the seminal vesicles.
Building the Parent and Child Math Anxiety Network model from empirical evidence
Authors: Carkoglu Can , Eason Sarah H. , Purpura David 
Published: July 2023

AbstractMath achievement is one of the strongest predictors of academic success and career attainment. While research has focused on cognitive factors that relate to math achievement, a growing body of literature suggests that affective factors like math anxiety also relate to math achievement. The field of math anxiety has expanded to recognize that not only children's but also parents' math anxiety is related to math performance. Yet, specific mechanisms through which parents' math anxiety relates to children's math performance are not well explicated. In this article, we synthesize research on the relation between parents' math anxiety and children's math achievement, and then propose a comprehensive model (the Parent and Child Math Anxiety Network model) to demonstrate the likely pathways through which parents' math anxiety may affect children's math achievement.

Children dynamically update and extend the interface between number words and perceptual magnitudes
Authors: Dramkin Denitza , Odic Darko 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAs adults, we represent and think about number, space, and time in at least two ways: our intuitive—but imprecise—perceptual representations, and the slowly learned—but precise—number words. With development, these representational formats interface, allowing us to use precise number words to estimate imprecise perceptual experiences. We test two accounts of this developmental milestone. Either slowly learned associations are required for the interface to form, predicting that deviations from typical experiences (e.g., presentation of a novel unit or unpracticed dimension) will disrupt children's ability to map number words to their perceptual experiences or children's understanding of the logical similarity between number words and perceptual representations allows them to flexibly extend this interface to novel experiences (e.g., units and dimensions they have not yet learned how to formally measure). 5–11‐year‐olds completed verbal estimation and perceptual sensitivity tasks across three dimensions: Number, Length, and Area. For verbal estimation, they were given novel units (i.e., a three‐dot unit called one “toma” for Number, a 44 px long line called one “blicket” for Length, a 111 px2 blob called one “modi” for Area) and asked to estimate how many tomas/blickets/modies they saw when shown a larger set of dots, lines, and blobs. Children could flexibly link number words to novel units across dimensions, demonstrating positive estimation slopes, even for Length and Area, which younger children had limited experience with. This suggests that the logic of structure mapping can be dynamically utilized across perceptual dimensions, even without extensive experience.

AbstractAimsThis study aims to describe both management and prognosis of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and newly diagnosed atrial fibrillation (AF), overall as well as by antidiabetic treatment, and to assess the influence of oral anticoagulation (OAC) on outcomes by DM status.MethodsThe study population comprised 52 010 newly diagnosed patients with AF, 11 542 DM and 40 468 non‐DM, enrolled in the GARFIELD‐AF registry. Follow‐up was truncated at 2 years after enrolment. Comparative effectiveness of OAC versus no OAC was assessed by DM status using a propensity score overlap weighting scheme and weights were applied to Cox models.ResultsPatients with DM [39.3% oral antidiabetic drug (OAD), 13.4% insulin ± OAD, 47.2% on no antidiabetic drug] had higher risk profile, OAC use, and rates of clinical outcomes compared with patients without DM. OAC use was associated in patients without DM and patients with DM with lower risk of all‐cause mortality [hazard ratio 0.75 (0.69‐0.83), 0.74 (0.64‐0.86), respectively] and stroke/systemic embolism (SE) [0.69 (0.58‐0.83), 0.70 (0.53‐0.93), respectively]. The risk of major bleeding with OAC was similarly increased in patients without DM and those with DM [1.40 (1.14‐1.71), 1.37 (0.99‐1.89), respectively]. Patients with insulin‐requiring DM had a higher risk of all‐cause mortality and stroke/SE [1.91 (1.63‐2.24)], [1.57 (1.06‐2.35), respectively] compared with patients without DM, and experienced significant risk reductions of all‐cause mortality and stroke/SE with OAC [0.73 (0.53‐0.99); 0.50 (0.26‐0.97), respectively].ConclusionsIn both patients with DM and patients without DM with AF, OAC was associated with lower risk of all‐cause mortality and stroke/SE. Patients with insulin‐requiring DM derived significant benefit from OAC.

AbstractAimsTo examine the effect of a healthy lifestyle score derived from seven lifestyle factors recommended by the diabetes management guidelines on all‐cause and cause‐specific dementia in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and how diabetes duration and insulin use status modify their association.Materials and MethodsThis study analysed data of 459 840 participants from the UK Biobank. We used Cox proportional hazards models to estimate hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals for the association of an overall healthy lifestyle score with all‐cause and cause‐specific dementia of Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia and non‐Alzheimer non‐vascular dementia.ResultsUsing diabetes‐free participants who scored 5‐7 as the reference group, in diabetes‐free participants, we observed higher healthy lifestyle score was related to lower risk of all‐cause and cause‐specific dementia. However, in people with T2DM, those scored 2‐3, 4 and 5‐7 all had around the two‐time risk of all‐cause dementia (HR: 2.20‐2.36), while those scored 0‐1 had over a three‐time risk (HR: 3.14, 95% confidence interval 2.34‐4.21). A dose‐response trend was observed with vascular dementia (each 2‐point increase: 0.75, 0.61‐0.93) and no significant association with Alzheimer's disease (0.95, 0.77‐1.16). The reduced risk of all‐cause and cause‐specific dementia with higher lifestyle score was observed in patients with a diabetes duration less than 10 years, or in patients with no insulin use.ConclusionIn people with T2DM, higher healthy lifestyle score was associated with lower risk of all‐cause dementia. Diabetes duration and insulin use moderated the association between healthy lifestyle score and risk of dementia.
Behavioural profiles in a wild population of a cooperatively breeding cichlid
Authors: Reyes‐Contreras Maria , Santiago Carl , Taborsky Barbara 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn cooperatively breeding species, subordinates can obtain group membership through social interactions with other group members or by providing services such as helping with territory defence. Large subordinate individuals, which can reproduce, are expected to adjust their behaviour as a function of the demand of help and group size because if the environmental conditions allow, they may either leave the group to start breeding or queue for the breeding position in their natal group. The number of helpers in a group is expected to affect the need of help by dominants and consequently also the level of subordination shown by helpers. In a series of field experiments, we manipulated the need of help and the opportunities for subordinates to show submissive behaviour in a wild population of the cooperatively breeding species Neolamprologus pulcher. We assessed if group size determines the social behavioural strategy of large subordinate individuals. When experimentally eliciting submissive behaviour, large subordinates from small groups showed a lower frequency of submissive behaviour compared to large groups; moreover, they tended to show a higher frequency of sand digging than in large groups. In contrast, neither territory defence in the presence of a heterospecific egg and larvae predator nor dispersal propensity, measured as prospecting frequency in neighbouring territories, was affected by group size. A principal component analysis revealed that prospecting is uncorrelated with submissive behaviour and helping behaviour. Our results suggest that group size may be involved in shaping behavioural phenotypes of juvenile subordinates.
Threatened fish species in the Northeast Atlantic are functionally rare

AbstractAimThe criteria used to define the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List categories are essentially based on demographic parameters at the species level, but they do not integrate species' traits or their roles in ecosystems. Consequently, current IUCN‐based protection measures may not be sufficient to conserve ecosystem functioning and services. Some species may have a singular combination of traits associated with unique functions. Such functionally distinct species are increasingly recognized as a key facet of biodiversity since they are, by definition, functionally irreplaceable. The aim of this study is to investigate whether threatened species are also functionally rare and to identify which traits determine extinction risk.LocationEuropean continental shelf seas.Time period1984–2020.Major taxa studiedMarine fish.MethodsUsing newly compiled trait information of 425 marine fish species in European waters, and more than 30 years of scientific bottom trawl surveys, we estimated the functional distinctiveness, restrictedness and scarcity of each species and cross‐referenced it with their IUCN conservation status.ResultsIn European continental shelf seas, 38% of the species threatened with extinction (9 out of 24 species) were identified as the most functionally distinct. By mapping extinction risk in the multidimensional species trait space, we showed that species with the greatest risk of extinction are long‐lived and of high trophic level. We also identified that the most functionally distinct species are sparsely distributed (4% of the total area on average) and have scarce abundances (<1% of the relative mean abundance of common species).Main ConclusionsBecause a substantial proportion of threatened species are functionally distinct and thus may play unique roles in ecosystem functioning, we stress that species traits—especially functional rarity—should become an indispensable step in the development of conservation management plans.
Art, artifice, and eroticized infantilization: Imagining Japanese femininities in the Weimar Republic in Fritz Lang's Harakiri (1919) and Kapitän Mertens's “Kio, die lasterhafte Kirschblüte” (1924)
Authors: Gueneli Berna 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis article focuses on the ways in which a Japan‐specific Orientalism regarding Japanese femininities establishes itself in Weimar Germany's popular culture. In this period of German democratization in which we observe Weimar women's social, sexual, and political liberation, I propose that popular culture texts such as Fritz Lang's film Harakiri (1919) and Kapitän Mertens's magazine publication “Kio, die lasterhafte Kirschblüte” (1924) created an alternative fantasy engaging with contemporary anxieties and dreams. I read the depiction of Japanese femininities as a mediation of predominantly heterosexual male fears about the liberation movement of modern Weimar women as circulated in mass media. In developing this reading, I observe a simultaneity of three different imagined Japanese femininities: aestheticized artificialization/reification, eroticization, and infantilization. I argue that the narrative construction of such ultimately subservient exotic, doll‐like figures is diametrically opposed to the widely studied New Woman of Weimar and thus warrants further inquiry.

AimOlder adults are more likely to be frail and have a high prevalence of urological diseases such as lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). The purpose of this study was to clarify the prevalence and characteristics of comorbid frailty in older patients with urological diseases.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the medical records of 970 patient who visited the Department of Urology, Juntendo University Hospital between October 2015 and October 2016. Patients were selected who were 65 years of age or older and were being evaluated by the Kihon Checklist (KCL) to assess frailty. We examined the prevalence of comorbid frailty in urological diseases, identified factors associated with comorbid frailty in urological diseases, and examined KCL scores in urological diseases with a high prevalence of frailty.ResultsA total of 405 participants were included. Of these, 21.7% were frail, 20.5% were pre‐frail, and 57.8% were robust. LUTS, overactive bladder, and neurogenic bladder showed a statistically significant relationship with comorbid frailty, with high frailty prevalence rates of 44/140 (31.4%), 19/36 (52.8%), and 4/6 (66.7%), respectively. Factors related to the comorbid frailty according to multivariate analysis were female sex (P = 0.001), older age (P < 0.001), and LUTS (P < 0.033). Of the KCL subscale scores, instrumental activities of daily living (P = 0.008), physical function (P < 0.001), oral function (P = 0.008), housebound (P = 0.009), and depression (P = 0.034) were higher in LUTS patients than in non‐LUTS patients.ConclusionsAmong patients with urological diseases, those with LUTS were found to have a high prevalence of frailty.

COSTLY INFORMATION AND SOVEREIGN RISK
Authors: Gu Grace Weishi , Stangebye Zachary R. 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThe consequences of costly information acquisition for sovereign risk are explored in a quantitative sovereign default model. We identify information costs empirically using Bloomberg news‐heat data. The calibrated model microfounds heteroskedasticity in the country risk spread as measured by a novel metric we call the Crisis Volatility Ratio (CVR). Crises are endogenously more volatile because more information is acquired and priced. Recalibrated extant models do not generate CVRs in the empirical range, but ours does. Because effective risk tolerance depends on the information set, the model also suggests that risk premia fall with information costs.
How do controversial foreign country images affect consumers?
Authors: Ortega‐Egea José Manuel , García‐de‐Frutos Nieves 
Published: July 2023

AbstractResearch shows that controversial political–economic, social, and environmental country images affect consumer responses to foreign products. This study adds to the existing evidence by examining the contingent role of subjective country knowledge and (domestic vs. foreign) country image congruence in the relationships between foreign country image and two major determinants of country‐driven (anti‐)consumption: foreign product judgements and consumer animosity. The findings draw on survey data (N = 400) on Spanish consumers' views of China and Chinese apparel products. The results indicate that higher subjective knowledge about social and environmental issues (negatively) affecting the foreign country can lead to attenuated (positive) relationships between such country images and foreign product judgements. Further, more negative foreign product judgements can result from incongruent country images—that is, when consumers are more critical of the foreign than of their home country in political–economic, social, and environmental areas. Instead, there is limited support for the hypotheses involving consumer animosity as an outcome. Implications for theory, policy, and practice are discussed.
