Authors: Özer Güçlüel Yasemin , Çetin Üçeriz Ayşenur , Yel Pınar 
Published: January 2025

AbstractAimTo systematically explore the existing literature by examining nursing approaches to home chemotherapy treatment.BackgroundWith the rising number of patients with cancer, home chemotherapy has gained prominence. Nurses play a crucial role in this process and bear significant responsibilities.IntroductionHome chemotherapy is increasingly recognized as a safe and effective alternative, relieving hospitals by managing the rising number of patients with cancer, decreasing workload and costs, and reducing pressure on the healthcare system.MethodsThe study follows the PRISMA 2020 checklist and is registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO). Literature searches were conducted from February 15 to 16, 2024, assisted by an expert librarian, across PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Three researchers assessed the methodological quality of the included studies. EndNote version 20.1 was used to manage references and remove duplicates. Seven studies that met the inclusion criteria were reviewed in full text and included in the analysis.ResultsThe study's distribution includes 4 observational studies, 2 cohort studies, and 1 qualitative study. By country, the distribution is Italy (n = 2), England, Japan, the Netherlands, Korea, and Argentina (n = 1 each). Evaluated using Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklists, three studies were of good quality, and four were of medium quality.ConclusionsNurses' responsibilities, such as patient education, treatment monitoring, and side effect management, are essential in home care. Therefore, developing evidence‐based protocols to guide these practices is necessary.Conclusion and implications for nursing and/or health policyNurses play a crucial role in enhancing treatment adherence by educating patients and their families about the chemotherapy process and managing side effects to prevent complications. Home care services reduce patients' reliance on hospitals, offering economic and psychological benefits. Further research is needed to emphasize the importance of specialized nursing education in this area.
Superlongevity and African Ethics
Authors: Wareham Christopher S. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTI apply African moral precepts to the topic of ‘superlongevity’. I make the case that African theories give rise to three specific sorts of moral concern about life extension that are distinct from similar objections in Western literature: first, superlongevity presents a challenge to identity; second, significantly longer lives face increased challenges to their meaningfulness; third, life extension may be socially divisive, undermining key tenets of sharing a way of life and communing harmoniously with others. Although these distinctive concerns are significant, I claim that their strength as objections to superlongevity depends heavily on the distribution of life extension technologies. Moreover, since African theories typically hold that moral excellence correlates with increasing age, they provide a prudential and moral incentive to live longer to develop personhood.

ABSTRACTBackgroundChronic respiratory disorders such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) may deteriorate into acute exacerbations requiring hospitalization. Assessing the predictors of prolonged hospital stays could help identify potential interventions to reduce the burden on patients and healthcare systems.AimThis study aimed to identify the risk factors attributed to prolonged hospital stays among patients admitted with acute exacerbations of chronic respiratory disorders in Jordan.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted by reviewing the demographic and clinical characteristics of hospitalized patients with asthma and COPD exacerbations between January 2017 and July 2021. The recorded variables were checked for their independence. Simple and stepwise multivariate linear regressions were then performed to identify variables associated significantly with a longer hospital length of stay (LOS).ResultsA total of 896 cases were evaluated. The mean ± SD stay was 5.66 ± 3.40 days, whereas the median (IQR) was 5.00 (4.00) days. Variables associated significantly with prolonged LOS in the multivariate analysis were female gender (β = 0.089, p = 0.011), pulmonary hypertension (β = 0.093, p = 0.004), allergic rhinitis (β = 0.086, p = 0.007), ICU admission (β = 0.096, p = 0.003), requirement for mechanical ventilation (β = 0.102, p = 0.002), higher total number of medications (β = 0.281, p < 0.001) and the number of exacerbation‐related medications (β = 0.200, p < 0.001). However, smoking (β = −0.091, p = 0.008) was significantly associated with a shorter LOS.ConclusionsGender, pulmonary hypertension, allergic rhinitis, ICU admission, mechanical ventilation, the number of medications and smoking were significantly related to LOS. These findings emphasize the importance of patients' demographics and their clinical status in determining LOS, hence providing protective interventions to shorten it.
A Cautionary Tale About Not ‘Joining the Dots’ to Infer Anticlockwise P$$ P $$‐T$$ T $$ Paths
Authors: Weller Owen , Benson Joseph , Copley Alex 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTUncertainty surrounds the cause and interpretation of anticlockwise pressure‐temperature (–) paths in metamorphic terranes. Here, we focus on the viability of a commonly proposed mechanism—magmatic heat transfer during thickening—using a case study of the Roineabhal terrane in Scotland, where such an anticlockwise – path has been proposed. Phase equilibria modelling of new samples, combined with previous – estimates, provides evidence for regional kyanite‐grade granulite‐facies metamorphism, with an additional spatially localised region of ultrahigh temperature conditions adjacent to an anorthosite intrusion. The spatial geometry of the ultrahigh temperature samples, combined with scaling arguments and thermal modelling of these results, shows that the ultrahigh temperature metamorphism is contact in nature and should not be joined to the regional metamorphism to infer an anticlockwise – path. Rather, the regional metamorphism features hairpin – loops, overlain adjacent to the anorthosite by a short‐lived, high‐temperature excursion. Because metamorphic rocks typically yield a fragmentary record during fluctuating thermal conditions, due to requiring hydration to maintain equilibrium during down‐temperature evolution, it is critical to assess in this manner the thermal viability of the range of – paths that could connect the preserved assemblages. In general, intrusion radii of tens of kilometres, or repeated intrusions of smaller bodies in quick succession (e.g., < 10 kyr for a 1‐km radius), would be required for true magmatically driven anticlockwise – paths. Given the unlikely nature of these requirements in most tectonic settings, such anticlockwise – paths are likely to be rarer than reported. For many scenarios, – paths commonly interpreted as anticlockwise – paths are instead likely to take the form described in this study.
Hindlimb muscles of the Emperor Penguin Aptenodytes forsteri (Aves, Sphenisciformes) at different postnatal ontogenetic stages
Authors: Sosa M. A. , Acosta Hospitaleche C. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe Emperor Penguin Aptenodytes forsteri is the largest living species of penguin, found exclusively in Antarctica, and is unique in breeding during the winter. Consequently, fewer anatomical studies have been conducted on this species over time compared to others. This study aims to provide an updated and comprehensive description of the hindlimb musculature of Aptenodytes forsteri. The muscles of the thigh, shank and foot were compared along postnatal development. The results were compared with the muscles of swimming and diving birds and also with ground‐dwelling taxa. By dissecting seven specimens, the origin and insertion were described in newborns, chicks and juveniles. Of the 37 muscles recognized, 19 correspond to the thigh, 14 to the shank, and four to the foot. Notably, the hindlimb muscles appear relatively developed compared to the overall body size in the newborns, showing considerable development in independent chicks, and reached full growth in the juvenile. The m. flexor hallucis brevis, m. extensor hallucis longus and m. lumbricalis were absent in all specimens, whereas the m. femorotibialis lateralis was found in only one specimen. Additionally, a branch of the m. flexor cruris medialis, originating in the abdominal area and merging with the pelvic portion before insertion, was observed in the newborn chicks. Aptenodytes forsteri showed similarities with Numida meleagris in the insertion of m. iliofibularis, and m. flexor cruris lateralis p. pelvica. These findings, along with other comparative results, constitute the first comprehensive descriptive study of the hindlimb musculature of Aptenodytes forsteri, including different ontogenetic stages.
An Exploratory Study of PN HPT for Treating Postsurgical Atrophic and Depressed Scars
Authors: Araco Antonino , Araco Francesco , Raichi Mauro 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundPostsurgical atrophic scars tend to respond poorly to treatments, especially non‐energy‐based ones. Hydrophilic PN HPT (Polynucleotides High Purification Technology) injected intradermally is a non‐energy‐based option with an immediate volume‐enhancing effect that indirectly improves the fibroblast synthesis of collagen and extracellular matrix. The PN HPT ingredient has the further benefit of a dermal “priming” effect that enhances the efficacy of other scar treatments.ObjectivesVerify retrospectively, with advanced techniques, the efficacy of PN HPT monotherapy as postsurgical scar treatment.MethodsRetrospective data collection in 18‐ to 65‐year‐old women with moderate‐to‐severe atrophic scars after mammary surgery undergoing a five‐session intradermal treatment course with 0.75% PN HPT gel formulation in single‐use syringes starting 6 months after surgery. Primary retrospective efficacy parameter: changes in scar morphology and symptom severity after three and 6 months (modified Vancouver Scar Scale, mVSS). Secondary efficacy parameters: roughness score 6 months after baseline (Antera 3D CS tridimensional skin analysis system) and Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS, Investigator and Patient subscales) after three and 6 months.ResultsTotal mean mVSS highly significantly improved from 11.2 ± 1.92 at baseline to 7.0 ± 1.68 and 6.9 ± 1.55 after three and 6 months, respectively; the mean Antera 3D CS roughness score improved from 13.5 ± 4.14 to 10.0 ± 3.49 after 6 months. After three and 6 months, the GAIS subscores for investigators and cohort subjects were identical (3.0 ± 0.81 and 3.0 ± 0.72, respectively). The photographic documentation supported the previous results.ConclusionsIn monotherapy, the intradermal PN HPT ingredient seems to quickly and safely relieve the burden of postsurgical atrophic scars. However, the lack of a formal parallel control group is a severe limitation. The objective quantitative measurements confirmed the long‐lasting benefits.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTBackgroundAlthough several models have been developed to predict postoperative pneumonia in elderly hip fracture patients, no systematic review of the model quality and clinical applicability has been reported.ObjectiveTo systematically review and critically appraise existing models for postoperative pneumonia in elderly hip fracture patients.DesignSystematic review and meta‐analysis.Methods10 databases were systematically searched from inception to April 15, 2024, updated on August 26. Two reviewers independently performed literature selection, information extraction and quality assessment. A narrative synthesis was employed to summarise the characteristics of the models. Meta‐analysis was performed using Stata 17.0.Results13 studies containing 25 models were included. The prevalence of pneumonia was 9.62% (95% CI: 7.62%–11.62%). Age (53.8%), hypoproteinemia (46.2%), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD, 30.8%), gender (30.8%), activity of daily living score (ADL, 30.8%) and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA, 30.8%) score were the top six predictors. All models reported area under curve (AUC: 0.617–0.996). 9 studies (69.2%) used the Hosmer‐Lemeshow (H‐L) test, calibration curves, or Brier scores to evaluate the calibration. 5 studies (38.5%) performed internal validation, 4 studies (30.8%) performed external validation. All studies had a high risk of bias due to single sample source, inappropriate data processing, inadequate model evaluation, and negligence of calibration and validation. 10 studies (76.9%) had good applicability.ConclusionsPrediction models for postoperative pneumonia in elderly hip fracture patients are still in the developing stage. The validation and evaluation of existing models are poor. Future studies should focus on robust external validation and updating. Additionally, the Transparent Reporting of a Multivariable Prediction Model for Individual Prognosis or Diagnosis + artificial intelligence (TRIPOD+AI) statement should be followed.Relevance to Clinical PracticePrediction models are effective in discriminating postoperative pneumonia in elderly hip fracture patients, but further external validation and adjustment are still warranted.

SeConDA: Self‐Training Consistency Guided Domain Adaptation for Cross‐Domain Remote Sensing Image Semantic Segmentation
Authors: Zhang Bin , Zhang Yongjun , Cao Chengdu , Wan Yi , Yao Yongxiang , Fei Liang 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWell‐trained remote sensing (RS) deep learning models often encounter a considerable decline in performance when applied to images that differ from the training data. This decline can be attributed to variations in imaging sensors, geographic location, imaging time, and radiation levels during image acquisition. Consequently, the widespread application of these models has been greatly impeded. An envisioned resolution to confront this challenge encompasses formulating a cross‐domain RS image semantic segmentation network integrated with self‐training consistency. This approach involves the generation of high‐quality pseudo‐labels for images in the target domain, which are then used to guide the training of the network. To enhance the model's ability to learn the data distributions of both the source and target domains, highly perturbed mixed samples are created by blending images from these domains. Additionally, adversarial training is incorporated to reduce the entropy of the model's predicted results, thereby mitigating the influence of noise present in the pseudo‐labels. As a result, this approach effectively extracts domain‐invariant features and minimizes the disparities between the distributions of the different domains. By employing the ISPRS and LoveDA datasets in a series of experiments conducted across varied scenarios, our empirical investigations evince the capacity of the proposed methodology to generalize the model to target domain data, which is achieved through the mitigation of disparities between domain distributions. It effectively alleviates the domain shift issues caused by differences in imaging locations and band combinations in RS image data and achieves state‐of‐the‐art results and validates its effectiveness.
Where power and scholarship collide: Gender and coauthorship in public administration research
Authors: Smith Amy E. , Riccucci Norma M. , Isett Kimberley R. , DeHart‐Davis Leisha , Sims Rebekah St. Clair 
Published: January 2025

AbstractPublishing is a source of capital and power in academia, and coauthoring is a common way to publish. However, studies in public administration have not yet examined the structure of coauthorship patterns, how these patterns have evolved over time, or the extent to which these patterns are gendered. We use bibliometric data to examine coauthorship in public administration scholarship over four decades with a particular focus on gendered patterns. Descriptive statistics, regression, and social network analysis suggest that when women are first authors, the research team is more likely to contain other women and while women are increasingly represented in coauthorship structures, men‐only groups of coauthors continue to persist. These findings have implications for the coauthoring practices of individual scholars, perceptions of coauthorship in hiring, tenure, and promotion decisions, and efforts in the field to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Open Data Hackathons and Open Innovation Policies: The Case of OpenTusk
Authors: Del Vecchio Pasquale 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe paper aims to contribute to the debate on open data and public open innovation policies by focusing on hackathons as initiatives supporting value creation, innovation, and regional development. The paper refers to open data hackathons as a powerful open innovation tool to activate mechanisms of collaboration and collective intelligence within a regional ecosystem populated with data and a plurality of stakeholders. Despite the actuality of the issues and the large consensus around them, their integration in a consolidated theoretical framework is still far from a full achievement and requires additional contributions. Therefore, a theoretical framework has been developed for defining the research gap and addressing the development of an exploratory qualitative study carried out on OpenTusk, an open data hackathon promoted by the Department of Economic Development of the Apulia Region (south Italy) in the frame of a participatory public policy aimed at exploiting the value of regional open data. Findings demonstrate that the hackathon can create positive conditions for the preliminary exploration of the entrepreneurial value of open data by shaping several thematic areas of interest for the regional agenda of smart specialization. Furthermore, the case suggests that the effectiveness of an open data hackathon derives from an articulated strategy consisting of sensitization campaigns and preparation activities useful to stimulate the development of entrepreneurial ideas. Implications for theory and practice have been synthesized in the conclusion in terms of areas for future investigation and practical contexts of applications.
Introduction: Renaissance humanism and the Venetian empire
Authors: Revest Clémence , Špoljarić Luka 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe articles gathered in this special issue explore the connection between two major historical phenomena of the fifteenth century: the tremendous diffusion of the humanist movement and the triumphal expansion of the Venetian empire in the Eastern Mediterranean and northern Italy. By focusing on the interactions between the political, social and intellectual conjunctures and by adopting a large‐scale perspective at the culturally diverse territories under Venetian rule, the special issue approaches the Venetian state as an interconnected space of scholarly exchange defined by a common but polymorphous political culture. This introduction places the special issue in the context of new approaches in the historiography on Renaissance humanism and the early modern Venetian state. It advances an understanding of Venetian humanism as an imperial phenomenon and highlights the seminal role it played in the establishment of the Venetian political order in the fifteenth century and its influence well into the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
