Unleashing Therapeutic Gain by Deploying Social Aesthetic Values in Co-Producing Healthcare Decisions
Authors: van Staden Werdie 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter argues that therapeutic gains may be unleashed by deploying social aesthetic values in co-producing health-care decisions. To this end, values-based practice (VBP) creates a decision-making process for becoming aware and recognizing aesthetic values. This may unleash therapeutic gains by generating an appreciation of the beauty, ugliness, and tastefulness in a patient’s past and current situation, and conjointly pursuing the therapeutic creation of beauty. The conceptual scope of social aesthetic actions that underpin and derive from aesthetic values are clarified first. So clarified, VBP decision-making may deploy both shared and divergent aesthetic values deliberately. The agenda of this is threefold: (i) co-producing a shared aesthetic appreciation of the patient’s situation; (ii) co-producing decisions with social aesthetic qualities of choice; and (iii) co-producing decisions to bring about desirable aesthetic qualities in the patient’s life. Extending this agenda, co-producing decisions in terms of social aesthetic values may mobilize therapeutic mediators, specifically awareness, communication, interpersonal sharing, story-making, trust, alliance, and hope. So mediated, therapeutic gains that may be unleashed are: (i) that aesthetic values in the patient’s life is given recognition; (ii) understanding the aesthetics in one’s situation, and imagining creatively the beauty worthwhile pursuing; (iii) implementing insightful decisions by which to take action and create desirable beauty in future; (iv) becoming an agent in recognizing, understanding, and taking action in creating beauty in one’s life; and (v) being inspired by beauty and the pursuit of it, by which one may be liberated from restriction from and opposition to such beauty.
Queer Visibility and Shared Authenticity
Authors: Monypenny Juniper , Hardy Spencer 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This chapter explores the need for conceptualizing radical approaches to self-disclosure on the part of creative arts therapists working within the LGBTQIA+ community. A literature review explores current practices and theories on self-disclosure from the creative arts therapies literature and related psychotherapeutic disciplines. We address the historical precedents that define self-disclosure as destructive to the therapeutic relationship and question the current contemporary positions against therapist self-disclosure that uphold these historical views within the creative arts therapies. Through autoethnography, we share personal and professional representations of how we experience therapist self-disclosure in our respective lives and work, with a particular focus on therapeutic spaces for queer-identified youth. Broadening the definition of therapist self-disclosure to recognize that it is ever-present, we propose a framework of shared authenticity as a form of therapist self-disclosure that holds space for marginalized service users, embraces intersectionality, reduces harm, and offers the opportunity for meaningful alliance-building. We name freedom of authenticity and queer visibility as potent political acts for both service providers and service users, and moreover, as vital tools for queer liberation.
Unapologetically Me
Authors: Hardy Spencer 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
This study investigated the impact of a one-day music therapy and arts-based community workshop with seven transgender identified youth, ages 13–16, in the United States. Anti-oppressive practices, self-empowerment, community empowerment, and equitable resilience practices were utilized within a mixed-methods approach. Data on four variables identified as markers for resilience in transgender youth: (i) perceptions of gender identity, (ii) self-esteem, (iii) positive coping, and (iv) sense of community were collected through visual analogue scale (VAS) measures, thematic content analysis of semi-structured interviews, content analysis of music and art, and my observations as a researcher and music therapist. Triangulation of results showed meaningful changes in all areas. Additionally, quantitative measures resulted in statistically significant changes in participants’ positive coping. These findings demonstrate that anti-oppressive community-based music therapy and creative arts can have a positive impact on the resilience of transgender adolescents.
Party Polarization
Authors: Kang Michael S. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Party polarization and hyperpartisanship dominate modern American politics. Scholars traditionally have pointed, at least within election law, to gerrymandering and closed primaries as likely contributors to polarization and hyperpartisanship. In this chapter, I point out that those elements of election law likely have less impact than suspected and instead discuss how campaign finance may be both a greater cause and symptom of hyperpartisanship. This chapter argues that individual campaign contributors, increasingly important today and motivated by intense ideological and partisan interests, have been energized by hyperpartisanship and in turn influence the major parties and their leadership toward even greater polarization and partisanship. What’s more, hyperpartisanship and polarization on the issue of campaign finance policy now stalemates meaningful efforts between the major parties regarding campaign finance reform.
Generative Buddhahood
Authors: McMullen Matthew D. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
One of the characteristics of soteriological discourse in Japanese Buddhism is a tendency toward the universality of Buddhahood. The assertation that even plants and trees become buddhas is a radical example of this discourse. The notion of enlightened plants and trees is frequently discussed in terms of sentience and whether vegetation has the capacity to be liberated from the suffering of our world. This chapter explores a theory devised in the Tendai esoteric school. Combining the cosmogony of buddha lands from the Vimalakīrti Sūtra with the salvific power of mantra, this theory concludes that plants and trees, and by extension all sentient beings as well as insentient objects, are conditioned to become buddhas by the genesis of a given buddha land.
Berberine bridge enzyme–like oxidases of cellodextrins and mixed-linked β-glucans control seed coat formation

Abstract
Plants have evolved various resistance mechanisms to cope with biotic stresses that threaten their survival. The BBE23 member (At5g44360/BBE23) of the Arabidopsis berberine bridge enzyme–like (BBE-l) protein family (Arabidopsis thaliana) has been characterized in this paper in parallel with the closely related and previously described CELLOX (At4g20860/BBE22). In addition to cellodextrins, both enzymes, renamed here as CELLODEXTRIN OXIDASE 2 and 1 (CELLOX2 and CELLOX1), respectively, oxidize the mixed-linked β-1→3/β-1→4-glucans (MLGs), recently described as capable of activating plant immunity, reinforcing the view that the BBE-l family includes members that are devoted to the control of the homeostasis of potential cell wall–derived damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). The 2 putatively paralogous genes display different expression profiles. Unlike CELLOX1, CELLOX2 is not expressed in seedlings or adult plants and is not involved in immunity against Botrytis cinerea. Both are instead expressed in a concerted manner in the seed coat during development. Whereas CELLOX2 is expressed mainly during the heart stage, CELLOX1 is expressed at the immediately later stage, when the expression of CELLOX2 decreases. Analysis of seeds of cellox1 and cellox2 knockout mutants shows alterations in the coat structure: the columella area is smaller in cellox1, radial cell walls are thicker in both cellox1 and cellox2, and the mucilage halo is reduced in cellox2. However, the coat monosaccharide composition is not significantly altered, suggesting an alteration of the organization of the cell wall, thus reinforcing the notion that the architecture of the cell wall in specific organs is determined not only by the dynamics of the synthesis/degradation of the main polysaccharides but also by its enzymatic oxidation.
Mental health of police leaders: Differences and predictions of job demands and resources

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Using the Job Demands-Resources model, we examined the differences between 365 police leaders and a matched follower sample (n = 365) in job demands, resources, and mental health as well as the prediction of demands and resources on two mental health outcomes. Leaders experienced a greater level of job satisfaction than followers but had also more quantitative demands and work privacy conflicts. Resources were also higher in leaders, except for autonomy over breaks and holidays which was scored lower. Work privacy conflicts and possibilities of development were shown by regression analyses to predict exhaustion and job satisfaction. Similarly, quantitative demands predicted exhaustion whereas predictability of work, autonomy over breaks and holidays, quality of leadership and recognition led to job satisfaction. The study provides valuable information for the promotion of mental health among leaders in the police.
Federalism and Confidence in Australian Governments During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Biddle Nicholas , Gray Matthew , McAllister Ian 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic was the most severe global health crisis for a century. Most advanced democracies introduced restrictions on social interaction to reduce community infection. This article examines how public confidence in Australia’s federal system of government was affected by these restrictions. We use a longitudinal dataset collected nationally between 2020 and 2022 to evaluate how public confidence in both federal and state governments varied with the level of government-imposed COVID-19 restrictions. The results show that confidence in both levels of government surged in the initial stages of the pandemic and remained high for the first year, gradually declining thereafter. Variations in the level of restrictions had a significant longitudinal association with confidence, with a negative relationship with confidence in state governments and a positive relationship with confidence in the federal government. The public clearly distinguished between the responsibilities of the different levels of government in managing the health crisis.

Abstract
In this study, in some neighborhoods in Kahramanmaraş province of Turkey, indoors and outdoors direct gamma dose rate measurements have been done. All of the gamma dose rate measurements have been made at ground level and at the height of 1 m from the ground. The median values of the gamma dose rates on the ground and 1 m above the ground indoors are 70.34 ± 7.74 and 49.53 ± 5.39 nGy h−1, respectively. Outdoor measurements have been carried out on both soil and asphalt floors. The average values of gamma dose rate on the ground and at a height of 1 m outdoors (soil floor) are 68.16 ± 7.49 and 53.50 ± 5.88 nGy h−1, respectively. The mean values of gamma dose rate on the ground and 1 m above the ground outdoors (asphalt floor) are 61.63 ± 6.77 and 48.69 ± 5.35 nGy h−1, respectively. Indoor and outdoor average gamma dose rates are below the mean world. In addition, using the measured gamma dose rate values, annual effective dose equivalent (AEDE) and excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) for adults have been calculated. The total AEDE and ELCR (on soil floors and indoors at 1 m above ground level) are 0.31 ± 0.03 mSv y−1 and 1.08 ± 0.10 × 10−3, respectively. The total AEDE and ELCR (on asphalt floors and indoors at 1 m above ground level) are 0.30 ± 0.03 mSv y−1 and 1.06 ± 0.10 × 10−3, respectively. The AEDE and ELCR for adults living in the neighborhoods within the scope of the study in Kahramanmaraş city center within 1 y are lower than the average world.
What Makes a Citizen? Contemporary Immigration and the Boundaries of Citizenry
Authors: Adem Muna , Ambriz Denise 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
How do native-born Americans evaluate citizenship claims made by immigrant groups? Prior research identifies three broad patterns: respondents (1) make judgments based on immigrants’ willingness to adhere to national norms and civic values, (2) rely on ethnoracial cues, and (3) rely on economic cues. Using a conjoint survey experiment, this is the first study to examine how these patterns hold across two distinct dimensions of citizenship—legal membership (being considered a citizen of the state) and cultural membership (being perceived as a fellow American). The results reveal that legal status and age of arrival are powerful determinants for attitudes toward legal membership. By contrast, ethnoracial boundaries have a more significant impact on cultural membership, even after accounting for key predictors, such as legal status and English proficiency. Moreover, we show that evaluations of citizenship claims differ for White and non-White Americans in meaningful ways. Compared to White respondents, Black and Latino respondents express higher levels of ingroup preference for legal membership, and Latinos are significantly more likely to use an inclusive definition of cultural membership. In tandem, these results highlight the importance of measuring citizenship as a multidimensional concept and the limitations of focusing on the dominant group to understand immigration attitudes in contemporary diverse societies.
Reversible inhibition of the basal ganglia prolongs repetitive vocalization but only weakly affects sequencing at branch points in songbirds
Authors: Fujimoto Hisataka , Hasegawa Taku 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Although vocal signals, including languages and songbird syllables, are composed of a finite number of acoustic elements, diverse vocal sequences are composed of a combination of these elements, which are linked together by syntactic rules. However, the neural basis of syntactic vocalization generation remains poorly understood. Here, we report that inhibition using tetrodotoxin (TTX) and manipulations of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors within the basal ganglia Area X or lateral magnocellular nucleus of the anterior neostriatum (LMAN) alter and prolong repetitive vocalization in Bengalese finches (Lonchura striata var. domestica). These results suggest that repetitive vocalizations are modulated by the basal ganglia and not solely by higher motor cortical neurons. These data highlight the importance of neural circuits, including the basal ganglia, in the production of stereotyped repetitive vocalizations and demonstrate that dynamic disturbances within the basal ganglia circuitry can differentially affect the repetitive temporal features of songs.

Published: August 2023

Objective
The aim of the study is to identify modifiable factors associated with sickness absence duration after a COVID-19 infection.

Methods
Participants in a prospective cohort of 4964 Canadian healthcare workers were asked how many working days they had missed after a positive COVID-19 test. Only completed episodes with absence ≤31 working day and no hospital admission were included. Cox regression estimated the contribution of administrative guidelines, vaccinations, work factors, personal characteristics, and symptom severity.

Results
A total of 1520 episodes of COVID-19 were reported by 1454 participants. Days off work reduced as the pandemic progressed and were fewer with increasing numbers of vaccines received. Time-off was longer with greater symptom severity and shorter where there was a provision for callback with clinical necessity.

Conclusions
Vaccination, an important modifiable factor, related to shorter sickness absence. Provision to recall workers at time of clinical need reduced absence duration.

Published: August 2023

ObjectiveThis cross-sectional study aimed to assess the interrelationship between leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), occupational stress, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in law enforcement officers (LEOs).MethodsA total of 229 LEOs completed a survey assessing their LTPA level, occupational stress, and CVD risk factors.ResultsAfter adjusting for age and sex, physically inactive LEOs are more likely to have one or more CVD risk factors. While high occupational stress was associated with greater odds of CVD risk factors in physically inactive LEOs, stress was not significantly associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in active LEOs.ConclusionsOur results suggest that occupational stress is associated with the prevalence of CVD risk factors in LEOs. Nevertheless, LTPA might have the potential to mitigate the impact of occupational stress on CVD risk factors.
“Subzone-Counting” Method in Asian Facial Liposuction: A Retrospective Study
Authors: Gu Tianyi , Zhang Xiaoyu , Yu Panxi , Ma Jiguang , Wang Shujie 
Published: August 2023

Background:
Facial liposuction is a popular and reliable procedure for patients with subcutaneous fat accumulation pursuing the ideal face shape. However, complications like irregularities and asymmetry are still problems for plastic surgeons. To lower the incidence of the above complications, we developed the “subzone-counting” method. In this study, this technique was introduced and evaluated.

Methods:
By several lines all parallel to the earlobe-mouth corner line, the liposuction area was subdivided into several subzones. With consistent negative pressure, the paths of the cannula trip in all subzones were also parallel to the earlobe-mouth corner line. An objective index could be obtained by counting the number of aspiration in every subzone. Based on this index, the real-time adjustment was made to achieve smoothness and symmetry.

Results:
This study identified 32 Chinese patients who accepted this method between January 2019 and January 2021. The follow-up ranged from 6 to 44 months. Twenty-nine and 3 patients were satisfied and somewhat satisfied with the postoperative outcome, respectively. No patient was unsatisfied with the outcome. And no major complication was reported.

Conclusions:
The “subzone-counting” method is safe and effective for facial liposuction. The approach helps intraoperative judgment and adjustment. According to the real-time counting results, contour smoothness and bilateral symmetry can be easily achieved and less dependent on the surgeon’s experience.
Management of Traumatic Brain Injury in Older Adults: What You Need to Know
Authors: Ghneim Mira , Stein Deborah M. 
Published: August 2023

Abstract
Older adults represent the fastest growing population in the United States (US) and this portion of the population is expected to double to more than 80 million by 2050.1 Currently, older adults have more active lifestyles, therefore are at an increased risk of injury.2 Older adults currently represent 23% of trauma admissions.3 This number is projected to increase to 39% by 2050.3 In fact, over the last decade, unintentional injuries have climbed from the 9th to the 7th leading cause of death among older adults. Traumatic brain injury (TBI) accounts for over 200,000 cases annually.4 The consequences of TBI in older adults are severe with high mortality rates5 and significant cognitive and functional impairment for survivors.6–8 Many who were previously independent in their daily activities become dependent on assistance after sustaining a TBI.2 Moreover, older adults experience accelerated cognitive decline, sleep disturbances, and depression following a TBI, which can further hinder their recovery.9 The financial impact of TBI on patients, caregivers, and the health care system is substantial, with annual hospital charges exceeding 8.2 billion for the treatment of TBI in older adults.10 This review aims to highlight the specific considerations and challenges faced by older adults with TBI.

Published: August 2023

Tuberculoma of the brain is one of the most severe extrapulmonary forms that affect patients less than 40 years of age. They are space-occupying masses of granulomatous tissue that result from haematogenous spread from a distant focus of tuberculous infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Symptoms and radiologic features being nonspecific usually leads to misdiagnosis and mimics a variety of other infectious diseases. Anti- Tubercular drugs are essential for the successful treatment of cerebral tuberculomas. A 52-year-old woman with known co-morbidities and chronic kidney disease presented with complaints of disoriented talk, vomiting, fever, and decreased response since 1 day. The initial radiological imaging showed ring-enhancing lesions and a differential diagnosis of septic emboli, vasculitis, and tuberculosis was considered. A repeat MRI suggested Tuberculoma. CSF studies showed predominant lymphocytes with elevated protein. CBNAAT & AFB smears of CSF were negative. The patient was started on anti-tuberculous drugs and steroids. But did not respond to the treatment and twelve days later, a brain biopsy was taken and sent for cultures. She deteriorated progressively and died 14 days after admission. Twelve days after her demise, the Mycobacterial culture of the brain biopsy specimen grew Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
