Medication compliance by cat owners prescribed treatment for home administration
Authors: Odom Thomas F. , Riley Christopher B. , Benschop Jackie , Hill Kate E. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractBackgroundMost veterinary literature examining medication compliance has described the phenomenon in dogs. The evidence available regarding factors affecting cat owner medication compliance is limited.ObjectivesIdentify and describe factors associated with cat owners' noncompliance with veterinary recommendations for pet medications, as well as client‐reported barriers and aids to administering medications prescribed by primary care veterinarians.SubjectsCat owners presenting their animals for veterinary examination and treatment.MethodsA cross‐sectional survey of cat owners' compliance with veterinary medication recommendations was performed from January 9, 2019, to July 18, 2020. A convenience sample of owners prescribed medication for their pets by veterinarians during or after elective veterinary examination was recruited to respond to questions regarding medication administration experience and compliance. Follow‐up was obtained from owners to determine if the course of medication had been completed. Compliance data were analyzed descriptively, and logistic regression was performed.ResultsMedication noncompliance was recorded for 39% (26/66) of cat owners. A quarter (16/66) reported challenges in administering medication to their pets; the most commonly cited reason was a resistant pet. Oral administration of antibiotics was significantly associated with noncompliance (P = .01). Clients with limited pet ownership experience were less likely to be noncompliant (P = .04).Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceClients' inability to medicate their cats PO may have implications for clinical outcomes and antimicrobial stewardship. Alternatives to direct PO administration of solid‐form medications in cats should be considered. Demonstrating administration techniques to all clients may improve compliance and influence clinical outcome.
Daybooks: Writers' notebooks reveal the processes, genre choices and reflections of fourth‐grade writers
Authors: Kissel Brian 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe purpose of the following case study was to examine the daybooks of 3 fourth‐grade writers who autonomously determined the content they included across the pages of their composition books. Three themes emerged from an analysis of their daybooks: (1) Students used their daybooks to engage their writing process; (2) students used their daybooks to draft in a variety of genres and (3) students used their daybooks as a space for reflection. This study suggests that, when provided with the proper conditions for writing, students use their daybooks in multiple ways to support them as writers.

AbstractWe present the outcome of search campaigns conducted in the Catalina Dense Collection area (DCA) located in the central depression of the Atacama Desert, Chile. The “Catalina Systematic Collection” (CSC) was assembled through systematic on‐foot searches, resulting in a total of 1599 meteorites, before pairing, collected over a surface of 6.80 km2. This yielded a recovery density of 235 meteorites per km2 (67 meteorites >20 g per km2), making it the densest among hot deserts, even higher than the neighboring El Médano DCA collection. This confirms that the central depression of the Atacama Desert holds the highest meteorite density among hot deserts. We classified 457 meteorites weighing more than 20 g. After correcting for various recovery biases, we estimated a true meteorite density on the ground of 131 meteorites per km2 for meteorites >20 g before pairing. Using a probabilistic approach, we calculated an average pairing likelihood, yielding 71 meteorites >20 g per km2 after pairing. This high density is likely linked to an old age of the CSC, which would also explain the absence of carbonaceous chondrites, as they are more prone to alteration by abrasion. This long meteorite accumulation period is related to the long‐term hyper‐aridity and surface stability of the Atacama Desert, which have persisted for several million years. Meteorites from the CSC show less chemical weathering on average than in other hot deserts, despite the long accumulation period. The H/L ratio in the CSC is higher than in meteorites from other hot deserts, Antarctica, and falls, but similar to the El Médano collection, potentially reflecting variations in the composition of the meteorite flux over the past Myr.
A meta‐analysis of eHealth interventions to promote physical activity in young, middle‐aged, and late middle‐aged adults with obesity or overweight
Authors: Lee Seungmin , Ahn Soyeon , Patel Priya , Myers Nicholas D. 
Published: January 2025

SummaryThe purpose of this study was to calculate the effects of recent eHealth interventions to promote physical activity in young, middle‐aged, and late middle‐aged adults with obesity or overweight. This meta‐analysis followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta‐analyses guidelines. In the search, 3550 articles were identified, and 15 studies met all inclusion criteria. The effects of recent eHealth interventions depended on the type of outcome variable: (a) intensity‐based physical activity (e.g., moderate‐to‐vigorous‐intensity physical activity, average minutes per day from intensity categories, steps per day) or (b) energy expenditure‐based physical activity (e.g., metabolic equivalent of task, kilocalories per week). The overall effects of recent eHealth interventions on the physical activity outcomes in adults with obesity were positive and ranged from small to medium in size. Ethnicity and weight status moderated the effects of recent eHealth interventions on physical activity outcomes. Results from this meta‐analysis provided some evidence for both the utility of, and possible improvements to, eHealth interventions to promote health‐enhancing physical activity in at‐risk populations.

ABSTRACTPhysical inactivity and sedentary behavior are associated with higher risks of age‐related morbidity and mortality. However, whether they causally contribute to accelerating biological aging has not been fully elucidated. Utilizing the largest available genome‐wide association study (GWAS) summary data, we implemented a comprehensive analytical framework to investigate the associations between genetically predicted moderate‐to‐vigorous leisure‐time physical activity (MVPA), leisure screen time (LST), and four epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) measures: HannumAgeAccel, intrinsic HorvathAgeAccel, PhenoAgeAccel, and GrimAgeAccel. Shared genetic backgrounds across these traits were quantified through genetic correlation analysis. Overall and independent associations were assessed through univariable and multivariable Mendelian randomization (MR). A recently developed tissue‐partitioned MR approach was further adopted to explore potential tissue‐specific pathways that contribute to the observed associations. Among the four EAA measures investigated, consistent results were identified for PhenoAgeAccel and GrimAgeAccel. These two measures were negatively genetically correlated with MVPA (rg = −0.18 to −0.29) and positively genetically correlated with LST (rg = 0.22–0.37). Univariable MR yielded a robust effect of genetically predicted LST on GrimAgeAccel (βIVW = 0.69, p = 1.10 × 10−7), while genetically predicted MVPA (βIVW = −1.02, p = 1.50 × 10−2) and LST (βIVW = 0.37, p = 1.90 × 10−2) showed marginal effects on PhenoAgeAccel. Multivariable MR suggested an independent association between genetically predicted LST and GrimAgeAccel after accounting for MVPA and other important confounders. Tissue‐partitioned MR suggested skeletal muscle tissue associated variants to be predominantly responsible for driving the effect of LST on GrimAgeAccel. Findings support sedentary lifestyles as a modifiable risk factor in accelerating epigenetic aging, emphasizing the need for preventive strategies to reduce sedentary screen time for healthy aging.
The Periodic Table of the World's Religious and Philosophical Traditions: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?
Authors: Daffern Thomas Clough 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper introduces the reader to the Periodic Table of the World's Religious and Philosophical Traditions (PTWRPT). It summarizes its background history, the conceptual thinking that underlies it, and explains why and how it was created. Using the same thinking that underlies Mendeleyev's Periodic Table of the Elements, it sets out in clear form all the world's different categories of religious and philosophical beliefs, showing the relationships and connections that exist between them. Each box of the table, as in Mendeleyev's table, gives the reader at a glance information about the faith tradition in question: when it was invented, how many people subscribe to that faith at the present, how many people in the whole of history up to now have followed this tradition, and which of the overall 16 categories of world faiths it belongs to. The table provides a basic bedrock of solid factual information for students to go on and explore the inner details of these complex traditions. Most importantly, it gives students the realization that the world's faiths, and our religious and philosophical traditions are far more complex and interesting than hitherto simplistic presentations have made out and that the subject deserves to be treated with as much seriousness as, say, chemistry, physics, or mathematics. The paper poses important philosophical questions about the metaphysical unity of ideas possibly underlying all these traditions and how the table can be of great value to frontline teachers and academics trying to get across the complexity of religious studies and philosophy to young minds.
Transport Infrastructure and Patterns of Trade in the Philippines
Authors: Go Eugenia 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper investigates the effects of the Roll‐on Roll‐off Terminal System (RRTS) on domestic maritime trade patterns in the Philippines. The RRTS sought to bring down inter‐island trade cost by integrating road highways and sea ports through roll‐on roll‐off ships. Using an original dataset that tracks the historical development of RRTS routes over time, results suggest that RRTS port pairs trade 39% more compared to unconnected pairs with comparable characteristics. Transactions are 55% more frequent in RRTS routes, suggestive of inventory management as a key avenue of trade costs savings and the importance of RRTS' impact on the fixed costs of trade. Time‐sensitive products such as perishable agricultural goods and products broadly related to parts and components trade systematically benefit more from the RRTS. Overall, the gains of RRTS pairs do not come from displacing trade in non‐RRTS routes. Instead, nearby non‐RRTS ports experience substantial positive spillovers that could rival the direct effects of the RRTS.
International Production and Industrial Transformation: The Singapore Story
Authors: Athukorala Prema‐Chandra , Ekanayake Asanthe 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe expansion of global manufacturing value chains (GMVCs) as a major mode of economic globalisation opens opportunities for latecomer countries to industrialise by carving out niches to specialise within the value chain, instead of producing a good from start to finish within their national boundaries. However, whether this provides a pathway for self‐sustained industrialisation remains a debatable issue. Sceptics argue that, since multinational enterprises (MNEs) dominate upper‐end activities of the value chain, a country located in the lower rungs has little room for industrial upgrading. This paper aims to contribute to this debate through a case study of Singapore, the first country to embark on an MNE‐led export‐oriented industrialisation strategy based on the prophetic foresight of unfolding opportunities for global economic integration within GMVCs. The findings suggest that, while Singapore had some country‐specific advantages, it was hardheaded national development policy that was instrumental in transforming the country from ‘the third world to the first’ within a generation. The key general lesson from the Singaporean experience is that industrialisation success within GMVCs requires embedding foreign direct investment (FDI) promotion in a comprehensive national development strategy and recalibrating the development strategy in line with evolving patterns of international production.
Teaching experience, not surgical residency training, is the critical factor in optimizing student learning outcomes in performing ovariohysterectomy on a model

AbstractObjectiveTo determine if surgical skills instructors' experience and qualifications influence students' learning of small animal ovariohysterectomy on a model (mOVH).Sample populationSecond‐year veterinary students (n = 105).MethodsStudents were randomized to three groups, taught by: (1) residency‐trained surgeons with over 3 years' experience teaching mOVH, (2) general practitioners with over 3 years' experience teaching mOVH (GP >3), and (3) general practitioners with under 3 years' experience (GP <3). Students completed four 3‐h laboratories where they performed mOVH under the supervision of one of the three types of instructors. Students were assessed performing mOVH using a validated 22‐item rubric and completed a survey about their experience.ResultsGP <3 group students achieved lower total rubric scores than GP >3 group students (p = .021). Surgeon‐taught students' scores did not differ from those taught by GP >3 (p = .685) or GP <3 (p = .052). GP <3 group students were more likely to require remediation than those taught by surgeons (p = .001); there were no differences between the other groups (surgeons vs. GP >3 p = .44; GP <3 vs. GP >3 p = .11). Students reported similar satisfaction with their instruction. Instructors with over 3 years' experience teaching mOVH had better student learning outcomes compared to instructors with under 3 years of experience. While mOVH teaching experience did influence learning, the instructor's completion of a surgical residency did not.ConclusionThe results of the study indicate a need for more extensive training for new surgical skills instructors and demonstrates that GPs with experience teaching surgical skills are suitable instructors for teaching ovariohysterectomy on a model.Clinical relevanceThis study indicates a need for more extensive training for new surgical skills instructors and demonstrates that GPs with experience teaching surgical skills are suitable instructors for teaching ovariohysterectomy on a model.
Fouling mitigation and wastewater decontamination in UV treatment systems
Authors: Aslam Tooba , Chatzisymeon Efthalia 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis work applied the photo‐Fenton process to mitigate quartz fouling in ultraviolet‐A (UVA) wastewater treatment. The impacts of the pH, iron and phosphorus concentration in synthetic wastewater were explored. It was observed that the photo‐Fenton process (5 mg/L of Fe2+, 10 mg/L of H2O2) mitigated quartz fouling and achieved 33% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal. It was also found that the presence of UVA irradiation and/or acidic conditions substantially decreased fouling formation. X‐ray diffraction as well as energy‐dispersive spectroscopy measurements showed that fouling consisted mainly of Fe, Ca, P, and Na. Increasing P concentration in wastewater from 5 to 40 mg/L enhanced fouling formation as well as COD removal from 35% to 51%, respectively. This work provides insight, for the first time, into the role of Fenton reaction in mitigating quartz fouling, one of the technical challenges in upscaling photocatalytic treatment.

Published: January 2025

Context: Athletes with a history of concussion (CON) have been demonstrated to have heightened levels of anxiety and depression that may continue well beyond the resolution of concussion symptoms. The global events of 2020 resulted in elevated levels of anxiety and depression in the general population, which may have unequally presented in collegiate athletes with (CON) than those without a history of concussion (NoCON). Using a deception design, our survey-based study compared levels of anxiety and depression in CON and NoCON collegiate athletes in response to the pandemic and social injustices. We hypothesized that the CON group would have significantly elevated anxiety and depression as compared to the NoCON group in response to events of 2020. Design and Methods: Collegiate athletes (N = 106) during the academic 2020–2021 academic year were divided into CON and NoCON groups based on their preinjury (baseline) concussion assessment. Participants completed the Social Readjustment Rating Scale (SSRS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale (CES-D), and Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 (GAD-7) via an electronic survey pertaining to the events of 2020. The term “concussion” was not used in any study materials which was the basis for our deception-based design. An analysis of covariance was used to compare group CES-D and GAD-7 outcome scores while controlling for the SSRS outcome score. Results: Our survey response rate was 14.2% (48/337 [77.1% female]) and 10.1% (58/580 [67.2% female]), for the NoCON and CON groups, respectively. The NoCON group had significantly (F1 = 5.82, P = .018, ) higher anxiety (8.3 [5.89]) as compared to the CON group (5.5 [2.85]). The NoCON group also had significantly (F1 = 13.7, P < .001, ) higher levels of depression (21.0 [12.52]) as compared to the CON group (16.07 [9.10]). Discussion: Our deception-based study revealed NoCON participants had elevated and clinically relevant mood states as compared to CON participants in response to the events of 2020.
Exploring the Impact of Choice and Variety on Adolescents’ Motivation to Participate in High-Intensity Interval Training During Physical Education: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Eather Narelle , McLachlan Emily , Leahy Angus , Sylvester Benjamin , Lubans David 
Published: January 2025

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate whether variety and choice affect adolescents’ motivation in high-intensity interval training during physical education. Method: We conducted a four-armed randomized controlled trial involving 206 students from one school (aged 12.6 ± 0.5 years), who participated in a 6-week high-intensity interval training program, delivered twice weekly during physical education. Students were randomized by class to the low- or high-varieties, choice, or control (standard warm-up) conditions. Results: Group-by-time effects resulted for the low- and high-variety groups on intrinsic motivation (d = 0.43, 0.47) compared with the control group; high-variety and choice groups had higher enjoyment than the low-variety group, and the high-variety group showed greater positive affect than low-variety and choice groups (d = 0.68, 0.61). Low-variety and choice groups had significant improvements for cardiorespiratory and lower body muscular fitness (respectively). Conclusion: Offering variety or choice in high-intensity interval training during physical education may enhance intrinsic motivation, enjoyment, positive affect, and/or fitness outcomes in adolescents.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundInitial ED assessment can use early warning scores to identify and prioritise patients who need time-critical treatment. We aimed to determine the accuracy of the National Early Warning Score version 2 (NEWS2) for predicting the need for time-critical treatment.MethodsWe undertook a single-centre retrospective observational cohort study. We randomly selected 4000 adults who attended a tertiary hospital ED in England from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022 and had NEWS2 routinely recorded on electronic patient records. The first NEWS2 and vital signs were extracted from electronic records. Research nurses selected cases that received a potentially time-critical treatment. Two independent clinical experts then determined whether time-critical treatment was or should have been received using an expert consensus derived list of interventions. We used receiver operating characteristic analysis and calculated sensitivity and specificity at predefined thresholds to evaluate the accuracy of NEWS2 for predicting need for time-critical intervention and, as a secondary outcome, mortality at 7 days.ResultsAfter excluding 10 patients who received their intervention before NEWS2 recording, 164/3990 (4.1%) needed time-critical treatment and 71/3990 (1.8%) died within 7 days. NEWS2 predicted need for time-critical treatment with a c-statistic of 0.807 (95% CI 0.765 to 0.849) and death within 7 days with a c-statistic of 0.865 (95% CI 0.813, 0.917). NEWS2>4 predicted need for time-critical treatment with sensitivity of 51.8% (95% CI 44.2%, 59.3%) and positive predictive value of 25.8% (95% CI 21.3%, 30.7%). 37 of the 45 patients needing emergency surgery, antibiotics for open fractures, insulin infusion or manipulation of limb-threatening injuries had NEWS2≤4. Patients with NEWS2>4 who did not need time-critical treatment frequently scored maximum points on NEWS2 for their respiratory rate, conscious level or receiving supplemental oxygen.ConclusionNEWS2 has limited accuracy for predicting need for time-critical treatment. We have identified time-critical interventions that frequently have low NEWS2 scores and NEWS2 parameters than may overestimate need for time-critical intervention.Trial registration numberResearch Registry 10450
