“Drugs Can Be a Great Coercion”: Service Providers’ Perspectives on the Relationship between Substance Use and Trauma Bonding among Survivors of Sex Trafficking
Authors: Casassa Kaitlin , Ploss Alexa , Karandikar Sharvari 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
While research has demonstrated a complex relationship between sex trafficking and substance use, the relationship between substance use and trauma bonding is not well understood. A trauma bond refers to an emotional attachment that can develop between victims and their abusers. This study aims to explore the relationship between substance use and trauma bonding among survivors of sex trafficking from the perspective of service providers working directly with survivors of sex trafficking. This qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 10 participants. Purposeful sampling was employed among licensed social workers or counselors working directly with survivors of sex trafficking. Audio recordings of interviews were transcribed and coded using aspects of a grounded theory approach. Three themes emerged from the data regarding the relationship between substance use and trauma bonding among survivors of sex trafficking: substance use as a tactic, substance use as a risk factor, and substance use as a potential trauma bond. These findings support the need to treat substance use and mental health concerns concurrently among sex trafficking survivors. Additionally, these findings can inform legislators and policymakers as they consider the needs of survivors.
Developmental Plasticity in Anurans: Meta-analysis Reveals Effects of Larval Environments on Size at Metamorphosis And Timing of Metamorphosis
Authors: Albecker Molly A , Strobel Sarah McKay , Womack Molly C 
Published: June 2023

SynopsisMany anuran amphibians (frogs and toads) rely on aquatic habitats during their larval stage. The quality of this environment can significantly impact lifetime fitness and population dynamics. Over 450 studies have been published on environmental impacts on anuran developmental plasticity, yet we lack a synthesis of these effects across different environments. We conducted a meta-analysis and used a comparative approach to understand whether developmental plasticity in response to different larval environments produces predictable changes in metamorphic phenotypes. We analyzed data from 124 studies spanning 80 anuran species and six larval environments and showed that intraspecific variation in mass at metamorphosis and the duration of the larval period is partly explained by the type of environment experienced during the larval period. Changes in larval environments tended to reduce mass at metamorphosis relative to control conditions, with the degree of change depending on the identity and severity of environmental change. Higher temperatures and lower water levels shortened the duration of the larval period, whereas less food and higher densities increased the duration of the larval period. Phylogenetic relationships among species were not associated with interspecific variation in mass at metamorphosis plasticity or duration of the larval period plasticity. Our results provide a foundation for future studies on developmental plasticity, especially in response to global changes. This study provides motivation for additional work that links developmental plasticity with fitness consequences within and across life stages, as well as how the outcomes described here are altered in compounding environments.
Adapting the sampling design of research surveys to improve the biomass estimation of secondary species—the case study of Raja clavata
Authors: Silva D , Menezes R , Serra-Pereira B , Azevedo M , Figueiredo I 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Research surveys are important to evaluate fishery resources’ spatial distribution and abundance. Although the underlying sampling is usually conceived with a focus on specific species, efficient designs can also collect data on secondary species. We present a framework to explore and evaluate the adequacy of alternative sampling designs for fishery research surveys aiming to maximize accuracy estimates of the secondary species abundance while maintaining the quality of the abundance estimates of primary species. A geostatistical model-based approach was developed considering the semi-continuous nature of the data and the excess of zero values commonly observed for secondary species. New sampling designs were defined according to optimization weights and evaluated based on the resulting prediction exactness. The framework was applied to the bottom trawl survey conducted along the Portuguese continental coast with European hake, Merluccius merluccius, as the primary species and thornback ray, Raja clavata, as the secondary species. The sampling design URSI provided the best balance between the accuracy for both primary and secondary species. The methodology can be replicated for other bottom trawl research surveys and an extended set of species. We recommend that a decision on which sampling design to adopt in future surveys should consider a cost-efficiency analysis.
Using bedside whiteboard to improve patient-centered care for hospitalized patients in a resource-limited setting: A quality improvement report
Authors: Solela Gashaw , Melkie Addisu 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Background
In our assessment, hospitalized patients have difficulty of identifying their assigned health-care providers because of frequent rotation of physicians, residents, and interns in a teaching hospital like Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. In addition, patients are not routinely communicated about their daily plan of care and estimated date of discharge. As a solution to these problems, bedside whiteboards could be used with an ultimate goal of improving patient-centered care.

Methods
Pre-intervention survey was conducted on patients from selected medical wards of the hospital over 3 months (N = 52). Whiteboards were then used on newly admitted patients in the same medical wards, and a post-intervention survey was conducted on these patients over 3 months (N = 47). Responses to the Stanford’s Quality Improvement Team patients’ knowledge assessment and Press Ganey patient satisfaction questionnaires were used as the outcome measures. A pre-/post-intervention study design was used, and all statistical analyses were performed using SPSS Statistical Software 25.

Results
Most patients were literate, and use of whiteboards significantly increased the proportion of patients who knew their attending doctors and nurses (P &lt; 0.001), daily plans of investigations and treatment options (P &lt; 0.001), and their estimated discharge date (P &lt; 0.001). Patients were also more satisfied with their treatment in all satisfaction assessment questionnaires with significantly higher mean Likert scores in the intervention group compared to the non-intervention group (P ≤ 0.001).

Conclusion
The findings of this quality improvement project show that bedside whiteboards are effective tools to improve patients’ awareness of their care team, daily care plans, and estimated date of discharge and increase their satisfaction.
Continuous interior penalty stabilization for divergence-free finite element methods
Authors: Barrenechea Gabriel R , Burman Erik , Cáceres Ernesto , Guzmán Johnny 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
In this paper, we propose, analyze and test numerically a pressure-robust stabilized finite element for a linearized problem in incompressible fluid mechanics, namely, the steady Oseen equation with low viscosity. Stabilization terms are defined by jumps of different combinations of derivatives for the convective term over the element faces of the triangulation of the domain. With the help of these stabilizing terms, and the fact the finite element space is assumed to provide a point-wise divergence-free velocity, an $\mathcal O\big(h^{k+\frac 12}\big)$ error estimate in the $L^2$-norm is proved for the method (in the convection-dominated regime), and optimal order estimates in the remaining norms of the error. Numerical results supporting the theoretical findings are provided.
Developing online medical service quality indicators in China from the perspective of online and offline integration: a modified Delphi–analytic hierarchy process study
Authors: Li Zhenlin , Guo Rui 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Online medical services (OMSs) are developing rapidly worldwide, and policies encourage the integrated development of online and offline services in China. However, there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic quality indicators for OMSs to ensure patients’ safety. This study aimed to construct a set of quality indicators from the perspective of online and offline integration to provide a basis for the evaluation and management of OMS quality. Based on the literature review, we included 53 potential indicators. In two rounds of consultations, we invited 21 and 19 experts, respectively, to rate the importance and feasibility of each indicator via email. We used the modified Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process to determine the final indicators and their weights. We used experts’ positive coefficient, authority coefficient, and opinion coordination degree to test the reliability and validity of experts. After two rounds of Delphi consultation, the experts’ positive coefficients were 90.48% and 89.47%, respectively, and the authoritative coefficients were both &gt;0.7. An OMS quality index system for public hospitals in China was developed with 4 primary indicators, 13 secondary indicators, and 34 tertiary indicators. Among the primary indicators, the weights of structure, process, outcome, and integration quality were 0.22, 0.26, 0.34, and 0.18, respectively. We constructed the first set of OMS quality indicators for public hospitals in China from the perspective of online and offline integration. It could be applied as a standardized and meaningful guide for OMS evaluation and quality development.
A Theory of Change for Artistic Activism
Authors: Duncombe Stephen 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Artistic activism intervenes in, and through, culture to animate ideas with emotions—charge them with affect—to motivate action, and change material conditions. Artistic activism also animates lived experience through emotions and, through its representation, gives rise to ideas and ideals. Yet we have no theory of change for how this might work. This article provides a model to think through and reflect upon “artistic activism,” or whatever name it goes by, as a complex practice that combines the affective power of the arts with the effective aims of activism. This gives us a wide-angle lens with which to see how artistic activism might create change. The model is then applied to a real-world creative activism example: the Undocubus, an intervention by young undocumented immigrants in the southern United States. The model’s macro view aids with thinking through and assessing more specific and necessarily contextual micro theories of change that are applied, consciously or unconsciously, by artistic activists and those they work with. The applied micro-view tests out its alignment with an example of practice. Most importantly, a comprehensive theory of change for artistic activism can provide clarity and direction as to where to intervene to maximize change.
Cheap Art and Creative Activism
Authors: Muller Cathleen 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The premise of this article is straightforward: cheap art as a method and movement, though often ignored in the aesthetics literature, is ideally suited for creative activism. To understand this claim, we must have a working definition of the term "cheap art", which I develop in the first section. In doing so, I focus on four features of cheap art, united by the core idea of anti-elitism, that make it well suited to support creative activism: (1) Cheap art is light, quick, sloppy, and easy to do. (2) Cheap art is made from cheap materials. (3) Cheap art rejects the idea of art as a business created for the artworld elite and aims instead to provide art of the people and for the people. (4) Cheap art challenges its audience members rather than seeking to placate or soothe them. After a brief defense of the claim that cheap art is in fact art, I discuss each aspect in detail, emphasizing its advantages for creative activism. I close with two suggestions for evaluating cheap art, which I argue can be extended to creative activism more broadly.
Community engagement in the development of health-related data visualizations: a scoping review
Authors: Chau Darren , Parra José , Santos Maricel G , Bastías María José , Kim Rebecca , Handley Margaret A 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Objective
This scoping review aims to address a gap in the literature on community engagement in developing data visualizations intended to improve population health. The review objectives are to: (1) synthesize literature on the types of community engagement activities conducted by researchers working with community partners and (2) characterize instances of “creative data literacy” within data visualizations developed in community-researcher partnerships.

Methods
Using the 2018 PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) guidelines, the review focuses on peer-reviewed journal articles from 2010 to 2022 in PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. A community engagement tool was applied to the studies by independent reviewers to classify levels of community engagement, social determinants, and vulnerable populations.

Results
Twenty-seven articles were included in the scoping review. Twelve articles worked with vulnerable populations. Four articles attempted to alleviate barriers to representation in their respective studies, with addressing language barriers being the most prevalent approach. Thirteen articles considered social determinants of health. Sixteen studies engaged in iterative approaches with intended users when developing the visualization or tool.

Discussion
Only a few significant examples of creative data literacy are incorporated in the studies. We recommend a specific focus on engaging intended users at every step of the development process, addressing language and cultural differences, and empowering intended users as data storytellers.

Conclusions
There is room for deeper and more meaningful community involvement in the development of health-related data visualizations geared towards them.
Effects of adult-diet modifications on sexual maturation rate, body weight, and quantity of sperm transfer by male Mexican fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Authors: Hickin Mauri , Nadel Hannah , Carlson Jason , Conway Hugh 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Mass-reared sterile Mexican fruit flies (Anastrepha ludens [Loew]) are released along the US–Mexico border to control fruit fly damage and spread. It is more cost effective for the mass rearing program if males mature at a younger age because they can be held for a shorter time at the facility before release. In this study, adult male Mexican fruit fly diets were tested to determine if the current diet used at the mass rearing facility promotes younger mating and optimal sperm transfer compared to other diet formulations. Hydrolyzed yeast presentation methods were examined: an agar-free dry mixture of yeast and sugar (Y+S), yeast embedded in the diet during the agar boiling process (current method used) and sifted dry on the ager gel surface. Methoprene, a juvenile hormone analog was also tested as a supplement to agar gel diets with and without yeast. A greater proportion of males fed Y+S mated 1 day earlier than males fed other diets. Male mating age and diet did not significantly affect the quantity of sperm transferred; however, a non-significantly higher percentage of males fed diets with embedded yeast transferred enough sperm to fill all 3 spermathecae. The results suggest that the current diet used is optimal for mass-rearing the flies and that yeast presentation method has a significant effect on A. ludens male mating age but not on the quantity of sperm transferred to females.
Aggregate Properties of Open Economy Models with Expanding Varieties
Authors: Bhattarai Saroj , Kucheryavyy Konstantin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We present a unified framework to study interconnections between business cycle and international trade models. This unified framework is built upon the standard competitive, representative-firm international real business cycle model and features production externalities in the intermediate and final goods sectors. Our main theoretical result is that this unified framework is equivalent in aggregate implications to dynamic international trade models featuring monopolistic competition, endogenous entry and exit, and heterogeneous firms. We show that a negative capital externality in the intermediate good sector is required to fit the data. This presents a puzzle for the literature because when viewed through the lens of our unified framework, we demonstrate that the standard assumptions used in dynamic trade models imply a positive capital externality.
Using a Volunteer Friends Support Scheme in a Temporary Relocation Programme
Authors: Crawshaw Marilyn , Eriksson Sanna , Brown Margot 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article describes a voluntary Friends Scheme that sits alongside a temporary relocation scheme for Human Rights Defenders at the University of York, UK. Members of the Scheme, including the scheme’s co-ordinators, are all volunteers drawn from the local community with a remit to befriend the Defenders, help orient them to the city and UK lifestyles and offer the opportunity to experience day-to-day life outside of the university.
With the erosion globally of the operational space for Human Rights Defenders’ work, many are in situations of serious risk to their health, well-being and even life, jeopardizing their long-term ability to conduct their work. This has in turn increased their protection needs with temporary relocation providing one mechanism for meeting these. The Protective Fellowship Scheme for Human Rights Defenders at Risk (PFS) at York offers an institutionalized programme and the Friends Scheme arose from the identified need for additional informal well-being support. In describing key aspects of its operation, their evolution over time, and its challenges and rewards, the article draws on feedback from both Defenders and Friends. It is brought up to date, outlining the impact of Covid-19.
Experience to date suggests the use of a Friends Scheme can be a valuable part of temporary relocation programmes for Defenders, staff running such schemes, the volunteer Friends and the local community. The use of a systemic approach to its organization through having clear processes, regular communication from and between the co-ordinators and PFS, and providing individual and group support appears valuable.
Web architecture, behavior, and predatory potential of Larinia chloris from rice fields (Araneae: Araneidae)
Authors: Khan Sozaina , Tahir Hafiz Muhammad , Butt Abida , Khan Abbas 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Present study was carried out to investigate the variation in web architecture of Larinia chloris (Audouin 1826) in relation to seasonal differences and the biotic factors of the environment. In addition, relative abundance, behavior, and predatory potential of L. chloris were also recorded. For this purpose, 100 orb-webs of L. chloris were observed in rice fields (August–October, 2022) from 3 districts of Punjab (Lahore, Sheikhupura, and Kasur). Percent abundance of L. chloriswas found to be highest in rice fields from Barki road, Lahore (39.53%). All the webs of L. chloris were vertical at height equal to the height of vegetation (115.2 ± 9.7 cm). Time required to complete the web was 45 ± 5 min. There was positive correlation between web architecture and vegetation height. Web capture area and average mesh height of L. chloris also showed positive correlation with carapace length. There was a significant difference in various web parameters (number of spirals, number of radii, capture area, average mesh height, upper radii, lower radii, left radii, and right radii) among different trapping months. A total of 1,326 insects were recorded from the 100 webs of L. chloris. The prey abundance was found to be highest in the fields from Barki Road, Lahore. The majority of the prey collected from webs of L. chloris belonged to order Diptera, Hemiptera, Coleoptera, and Lepidoptera. However, prey items recorded during different growth stages (from vegetative to ripening) varied significantly. This is the first ever report describing the ecology of L. chloris in rice fields from Punjab, Pakistan.
Cancer survivorship care: challenges and opportunities in Japan
Authors: Takahashi Miyako 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
This article discusses the current international scope and practices of cancer survivorship care and the challenges and opportunities of survivorship care in Japan. Cancer is a common illness in Japan; however, the national cancer control plan focuses only on limited survivorship-related issues, and there is no official national-level survivorship care strategy that addresses the diverse unmet needs of survivors. There is an urgent need to discuss and implement measures for quality survivorship care delivery under the current healthcare system in Japan. The Development of Survivorship Care Coordination Model Research Group, 2022, organized under the National Cancer Center Japan research grant from 2019 to 2022, identified four tasks that are required to realize quality survivorship care: (i) providing education opportunities for survivorship care stakeholders to raise awareness about the concept and the necessity of cancer survivorship care, (ii) providing training opportunities and cancer survivorship care certification for community healthcare providers, (iii) enforcing the economic basis of survivorship care and (iv) creating simpler systems that are organically linked with existing care systems. Collaboration among multiple players is indispensable to developing the philosophy of survivorship care and efficient care delivery. For this purpose, we need a platform where diverse players can participate equally towards the same goal: cancer survivors’ optimal wellness.
Xylem structure and function of two saltbush shrub species (Atriplex) from differing microhabitats

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Two formerly broadly distributed woody Atriplex species now occur as fragmented populations across a range of microhabitats in the San Joaquin Valley Desert, southern California. We hypothesized that A. lentiformis and A. polycarpa exhibit inter- and intra-specific differences in their leaf and stem structural and functional traits corresponding with differences in soil salinity and aridity. Water potential, xylem structure and function and leaf traits were compared between three populations of A. lentiformis and four populations of A. polycarpa. The two species significantly differed in their xylem traits, with A. lentiformis displaying lower xylem density, wider mean and maximum vessel diameters and higher hydraulic conductivity (Ks). They also differed in their leaf traits, such that A. lentiformis had larger leaves with higher specific leaf area (SLA) than A. polycarpa. Significant intra-specific differences occurred among leaf traits (leaf area, SLA) in A. lentiformis populations. In contrast, populations varied in their stem xylem structural traits (mean vessel wall thickness, mean vessel diameter, maximum vessel length) among A. polycarpa populations. Many of these differences were associated with soil salinity in A. lentiformis, and with minimum seasonal water potential in A. polycarpa. Overall, both saltbush species showed high intra- and inter-specific trait variation. This could be a critical consideration in understanding the evolution of these native species and has important implications for their conservation and restoration.
