Contextualizing COVID-19 outcomes in ethical leadership: a process for eradicating gender-based violence in developing contexts
Authors: Ebron Kutisha T. , Andenoro Anthony C. , Luzynski Cheyenne , Ngunjiri Anne 
Published: January 2025

PurposeIn May 2020, Kenya declared Gender-Based Violence (GBV) a health emergency amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Domestic and intimate partner violence typically rises during crises, regardless of economic status (Spangaro et al., 2021). Before COVID-19, around 45% of women and girls in Kenya had experienced violence (Musembi et al., 2022). Although Kenya’s constitution has addressed GBV since 2010 and gender equity initiatives have been promoted, the pandemic exacerbated GBV, particularly in rural areas, due to lockdowns and movement restrictions. This study examines the lessons learned from Kenya’s COVID-19 response and proposes policies and processes that integrate ethical leadership to effectively combat GBV and advance gender equity.Design/methodology/approachThis exploratory phenomenology study involved conducting semi-structured interviews with pregnant women, mothers, policymakers and government representatives.FindingsThe qualitative narratives reveal several critical issues and areas for improvement in addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and related challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic in Kenya. Both policymakers and pregnant women highlighted a lack of effective leadership, public policy and application of gender equity principles, with deeply ingrained patriarchal norms hindering progress.Originality/valueThis study aims to improve responses to GBV during crises and promote gender equity through ethical leadership. By examining the impacts of COVID-19 on GBV and assessing the influence of intersectoral factors like employment, healthcare and financial aid, it seeks to provide actionable insights for effective interventions. The findings can inform strategies to prevent and address GBV in crises while ensuring inclusivity and justice. This aligns with international initiatives like the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and the “Leave No One Behind” agenda, fostering more resilient and equitable communities.

Published: January 2025

PurposeAs a clean and renewable energy source, wind energy will become one of the main sources of new energy supply in the future. Relying on the stable and strong wind resources at sea, wind energy has great potential to become the primary energy. As a critical part of the wind turbine, the gearbox of a wind turbine often bears a large external load. Especially at sea, due to the effects of ocean corrosion, waves and wind, the burden of the wind turbine gearbox is greater, which brings great challenges to its reliability analysis. This study aims to systematically review the reliability research in wind turbine gearboxes and guide future research directions and challenges.Design/methodology/approachThis study systematically reviews some design requirements and reliability analysis methods for wind turbine gearboxes. Then, it summarizes previous studies on wind load uncertainty modeling methods, including the processing of wind measurement data and the summary of three different classifications of random wind speed prediction models. Finally, existing reliability analysis studies on two major parts of the gearbox are described and summarized.FindingsFirst, the basic knowledge of wind turbine gearboxes and their reliability analysis is introduced. The requirements and reliability analysis methods of wind turbine gearboxes are explained. Then, the processing methods of wind measurement data and three different random wind speed prediction models are described in detail. Furthermore, existing reliability analysis studies on two common parts of wind turbine gearboxes, gears and bearings, are summarized and classified, including a summary of bearing failure modes. Finally, three possible future research directions for wind turbine gearbox reliability analysis are discussed, namely, reliability research under the influence of multiple factors on gears, damage indicators of bearing failure modes and quantitative evaluation criteria for the overall dynamic characteristics of offshore wind turbine gearboxes and a summary is also given.Originality/valueThis paper aims to systematically introduce the relevant contents of wind turbine gearboxes and their reliability analysis. The contents of wind speed data processing, predictive modeling and reliability analysis of major components are also comprehensively reviewed, including the classification and principle introduction of these contents.

Published: January 2025

Purpose
The primary goal of domestic washing and drying processes is to deliver clean and dry clothes, but they often result in excessive wrinkling of fabrics. This study aims to evaluate the wrinkling of linen fabric using image processing techniques after these processes and to quantify various drying performance indicators.

Design/methodology/approach
An image processing software was developed to quantify the smoothness level of linen fabrics subjected to domestic washing and drying processes. Additionally, different washing parameters in a front-loading washer that affect fabric wrinkling were evaluated. Three drying cycles (easy-iron, normal and extra-dry) in a condensation dryer were also analyzed in terms of moisture and fabric wrinkling parameters.

Findings
The results demonstrated a close relationship between water extraction from the fabrics and wrinkle formation. The shortest drying cycle with milder temperatures produced wetter and less wrinkled fabrics at the end of the drying cycle. Conversely, the longer, higher-temperature programs completely removed the moisture from the linen fabrics but resulted in greater wrinkling.

Originality/value
The development of an image processing technique to quantify the wrinkling of linen fabric allowed for more objective evaluation of this parameter. Additionally, this study allowed for the correlation of various drying indicators with the wrinkling generated in the linen fabric.
Integrating human trail use in montane landscapes reveals larger zones of human influence for wary carnivores

Abstract

Coexistence between humans and wildlife is necessary for many conservation goals but is difficult to achieve in landscapes with increasing human populations and species that are often wary of people and may also threaten human safety. In these contexts, coexistence may be enhanced by identifying geographic areas where animal movement is particularly important and changes to human use via trail design could support both wildlife conservation and human safety.

We used camera trap data to monitor the spatial distribution of grizzly bears (Ursus arctos), grey wolves (Canis lupus), and humans within the central Canadian Rocky Mountains, where anthropogenic development and human activity have gradually encroached on limited wildlife habitat. We quantified spatial variation in human use and then incorporated this output into models for the detection rates of bears and wolves. We interpolated metrics of human use throughout the study area using inverse distance weighted averages of human detection rates from cameras. This approach supported a novel estimate of the cumulative effects of human use at all nearby trails on animal space use. We used our models to estimate the zone of influence of human use on bears and wolves, determining the distance at which human use on nearby trails no longer exhibited a measurable change in detection rates for each of grizzly bears and wolves.

The negative effects of human use on wildlife declined steeply with distance such that 50% of the decrease in detection rates immediately adjacent to trails would be expected to occur at 267 m for grizzly bears and 576 m for wolves. Weak effects, 5% as strong as the effect adjacent to trails, extended up to 1.8 and 6.1 km for grizzly bears and wolves, revealing the importance of cumulative measures of human use.

Synthesis and applications. Our work shows how human activity over entire landscapes can alter wildlife detection rates. Our results identify target buffer distances for protected areas near trails, and the modelling framework could be used by land managers to predict how altering trail networks and modifying human activity could affect wary wildlife species and advance coexistence.

Abstract

Monitoring biodiversity can be critical for informing effective conservation strategies, but can also deplete the resources available for management actions if the time and money available for both activities are limited. Freely available participatory science data may help alleviate this issue, but only if data quality is sufficient to inform the best decisions.

Our objective was to quantify the predicted outcomes of prioritizing conservation action based on regional participatory science compared to using targeted professional monitoring data. Using data from the BirdReturns program in the Central Valley of California as a case study, we prioritized properties for conservation action based on the predicted probability of detecting seven shorebird species, using a range of budgets as constraints. For prioritizations conducted using data from the professional surveys, the cost of monitoring was deducted from the total budget available for conservation action.

Crowd‐sourced data performed better than professional data even before accounting for the cost of professional monitoring, and substantially better when monitoring costs were explicitly considered. The difference in performance was particularly stark at lower budgets, where the professional monitoring data consumed a substantial proportion of the budget.

Synthesis and applications. Prioritizing conservation action based on high‐quality, freely available participatory science data could theoretically result in better biodiversity outcomes than paying for targeted professional monitoring, allowing managers to redistribute limited conservation resources from monitoring to action.
‘We carry on living in this othered world’: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of lesbian/queer co‐mothers' relationships with professional support
Authors: Levy Beth , Middleton Amanda 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper explores how experiences of support within the helping professions influence non‐birth and/or non‐gestational lesbian/queer co‐mothers' understanding of their maternal identity. Drawing on Park's (2013) concept of monomaternalism, we explore how established norms of families as consisting of two biological opposite‐sex parents impacted participating mothers. Five nonbiological and/or non‐carrying/gestational mothers who had formed a family within a lesbian/queer couple relationship took part in the study. An interpretative phenomenological analysis approach (Smith et al., 2009) was used. Three themes are explored: (1) co‐mothers' experiences of normativity in professional encounters; (2) co‐mothers' co‐creation of their maternal selves; and (3) tension between the co‐mother's constructed identity and the professional systems involved with her family. The study invites family therapists and systemic practitioners working with co‐mothers and their families to consider the impact of heteronormativity and monomaternalism on their work. We hope to enrich understanding, broaden complexity and encourage practitioners to seek out and allow small and subjugated discourses to protect and include co‐mothers and LGBTQ+ families.
Does the Internet Matter for Election? Examining Perceived Internet Effects Across Five Danish Election 2007–2022
Authors: Jensen Jakob Linaa 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis article provides a comprehensive longitudinal survey of Internet effects in Danish elections, spanning across 15 years and covering five Danish national elections. Rather than utilizing an institutional macro‐level approach, this article adopts a micro‐level perspective by investigating individually perceived effects, assessed through survey questionnaires. The investigation draws on theoretical concepts of media affordances, political engagement, and efficacy as predictors for perceived effects as well as including the influence of demographic factors. This article examines two categories of perceived effects, internal and external. Internal effects are defined as increased political competence and knowledge, what can also be called personal effects. The study reveals a rise in respondents' acknowledgment of the Internet's role in enhancing political awareness and influencing opinions and party choices. Despite positive trends, a significant portion of respondents indicated no discernible impact, indicating a divergence in citizenry between active Internet engagement and indifference to its possibilities and effects. External effects, focusing on the Internet's impact on the election agenda and results, exhibited an upward trajectory over time. However, perceptions regarding the role of social media showed less pronounced increases, with evidence of stagnation or decline in positive perceptions in 2022. This phenomenon may indicate a perceived plateau in the Internet's effects or reflect divergent viewpoints among respondents regarding its democratic ramifications. It is noteworthy that respondents perceive larger internal effects compared to external effects, a pattern that also influences subsequent analyses where demographics and other predictors are used to establish models for likely effects on citizens.

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the association of Massachusetts Medicaid Accountable Care Organization (ACO) implementation with changes in mental health care utilization in the postpartum period.Study Setting and DesignWe examine care for people with a birth covered by Medicaid or private insurance. We used a difference‐in‐differences design to compare differences before and after Medicaid ACO implementation for those with Medicaid versus those with private insurance. The primary outcome was a binary measure of having at least one outpatient mental health care visit in the 6 months postpartum. We estimated linear probability models controlling for age, prenatal mental illness, pregnancy complications, birth mode, and ZIP code characteristics.Data Sources and Analytic SampleData are from the Massachusetts All‐Payer Claims Database. The analytic sample included Massachusetts residents with a live birth between July 1, 2016, and September 30, 2019, with complete data.Principal Findings107,813 births were included (53.0% Medicaid, 47.0% private). 7.8% of these had at least one outpatient mental health visit in the 6 months postpartum, with similar rates among those with Medicaid versus those with private insurance pre‐ACO implementation (7.9% Medicaid versus 7.7% private). An increase in utilization among privately insured individuals and a decrease among Medicaid beneficiaries post‐ACO implementation was observed. Regression‐adjusted difference‐in‐differences estimates indicate that Medicaid ACO implementation was associated with a 1.3 percentage point [pp] decrease (95% confidence interval: 1.3 pp, −0.5 pp; p < 0.01) in the probability of having an outpatient mental health visit for those with Medicaid.ConclusionsMedicaid ACO implementation was associated with decreases in use of outpatient mental health care in the postpartum period among people with Medicaid, overall and compared to those with private insurance. Future research should determine whether this increased disparity in mental health care utilization persists with maturation of the ACO delivery model.

AbstractObjectiveThe present study aimed to compare time to effective pain relief between diclofenac 75 mg intramuscular (IM) and tramadol 50 mg intravenous (IV) for ED patients with acute renal colic.MethodsA randomised, double‐blinded, sham‐controlled, superiority trial was conducted. Patients diagnosed with acute renal colic (hydronephrosis and/or stone visualisation on point‐of‐care ultrasound) in the ED were randomly assigned to receive an IM injection of 75 mg of diclofenac or IV tramadol 50 mg. Pain relief was defined as a numerical rating scale reduction of two or more points (standard 0–10 scale) and a reduction of at least one level of pain transition question (‘much better’, ‘little better’, ‘unchanged’, ‘little worse’, ‘much worse’). The primary outcome was the multivariable‐adjusted subdistribution‐hazard ratio (SHRs) within 120 min in the ED, estimated using the cumulative incidence function (CIF). The secondary outcome compared the average time to pain relief using the restricted mean survival time (RMST).ResultsA total of 68 patients were randomised, with 34 patients allocated to each group. At the 120 min, pain relief was reported in diclofenac and tramadol, 32 (94%) and 22 (65%) patients respectively. SHR was 2.86 (95% CI: 1.80–4.55; P value <0.001). For diclofenac and tramadol, the RMSTs were 37.09 min (95% CI: 30.00, 44.15) and 78.74 min (95% CI: 66.49, 90.99) respectively, with the difference of 41.67 min (95% CI: 55.71, 27.62).ConclusionDiclofenac 75 mg IM provides faster effective pain relief compared with tramadol 50 mg IV.

ABSTRACTInsects, the most numerous and diverse group of animal species on Earth, have important interactions with humans through providing resources, transmitting diseases and damaging agricultural cultivars. Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) are one of the most important protein families in insects implicated in the endogenous metabolism and detoxification of xenobiotics, including allelochemicals, insecticides and environmental pollutants. To better understand the evolution and function of insect P450s and support the development and application of insecticides for pest control, an integrated bioinformatics platform is highly desirable. Here, we present the Insect Cytochrome P450 database (ICPD, http://www.insectp450.net/), which contains 66,477 P450s collected from public databases and predicted from the genomes of 682 insect species using a standardised bioinformatics protocol. Phylogenetic relationships between P450 genes are constructed for each species. The structures of all P450 proteins in the database are predicted using ESMFold, then visualised using WeView. Web services, such as BLAST, homogeneous modelling and molecular docking, are provided for determining the catalytic activities of P450 proteins. The ICPD will facilitate systematic investigations of the evolution and functions of the complete insect P450 complement, and represents a powerful tool for guiding insecticide design and application.

ABSTRACTProblemRecurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) affects 5%−10% of all women, negatively impacting their reproductive health and quality of life. Herein, we investigated the molecular effects of RVVC on the vaginal mucosa of otherwise healthy women.Method of StudyGene expression analysis was performed on vaginal tissue biopsies from women with RVVC, including those with a current episode of vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC, n = 19) and women between infections (culture negative RVVC [CNR], n = 8); women asymptomatically colonized with Candida albicans (asymptomatic [AS], n = 7); and healthy controls (n = 18). Gene expression profiles were compared between groups and correlated with clinical data retrieved from questionnaires and gynecologic examinations.ResultsOf 20 171 genes identified in vaginal biopsies, 6506 were differentially expressed in the RVVC group, compared to healthy controls. Gene expression pathway analysis revealed an association between RVVC and pathways of inflammatory responses, especially genes involved in neutrophil recruitment and activation. Expression of genes involved in inflammation and neutrophil recruitment increased with increasing clinical severity of VVC, whereas expression of some genes involved in epithelial integrity decreased with increasing clinical severity of infection. Gene expression profiles of both the CNR and AS groups were comparable to those of healthy controls.ConclusionsThe clinical severity of RVVC during active infection correlates with increased expression of genes involved in molecular inflammation and neutrophil activation in the vaginal mucosa. The lack of differences between healthy controls and women with RVVC who were between acute infections indicates that the molecular effects observed in the RVVC group are only present during active infection.
