Published: September 2023

AbstractWhile the literature on well‐being and stress following natural disasters is well‐developed, it is less so when it comes to ongoing war experiences. Between September and October of 2022, 223 Ukraine‐based civilian adults (156 women and 67 men) completed a survey measuring symptoms of post‐traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), peritraumatic experiences, paranoia, quality of life, death anxiety, anxiety about weapons of mass destruction and depression (i.e. assumed ‘war consequence’ factors), as well as perceived social support, resilience, loneliness and expected military support from the West (i.e. assumed ‘buffer’ factors). Our exploratory structural equation model (SEM) suggests that Perceived Social Support predicted fewer PTSD Symptoms and more Peritraumatic Experiences. The regression modelling, however, shows that Perceived Social Support was also positively correlated with Peritraumatic Experiences. Highlighting the need for a civilian war stress buffer disruption theory, we argue that when composed of one's circle of family and friends, social support could likely mean greater exposure to war stressors through the mutual sharing of ongoing war experiences with no end in sight. Such a possible war stress sharing deterioration effect would imply that Perceived Social Support may compound peritraumatic distress if the support in question is offered by those facing the same grim reality.
(Re)purposing cadasters: When ecclesiastical archives advocate for Indigenous land rights
Authors: Denieul‐Pinsky Léa 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis paper reflects on the potential and limits of repatriating state‐sanctioned historical materials and repurposing them as “counter‐archives” for Indigenous communities. This proposal aligns itself with the epistemic shift in archival studies which promotes a processual approach to archiving (archive‐as‐subject) rather than an extractive one (archive‐as‐source). Instead of taking colonial archives at face value or dismissing them entirely for their erasures, scholars and artists are finding new ways to approach, produce, and share them. This research expands the scope of counter‐cartography and historical geography by identifying different data sources that can be mapped. Mandated by a Mohawk Land Defender, I have compiled ecclesiastical archives, cadasters, and land registries from the Seminary of St. Sulpice into a “counter‐archive,” then turned them into a geospatial database for use in GIS. Historically these ecclesiastical records were used by the Seminary to claim Indigenous territories, erase Indigenous presence, and attract settlers to the Seigneurie du Lac‐des‐Deux‐Montagnes, an area spanning 540 km2 west of Montreal. The repurposed counter‐archives can be used as tools for critical public discourse around Indigenous land rights. Given genuine Federal will for reconciliation, this methodology mapping land dispossession from archival cadasters and land registries could expand to other locations across Canada.
Cutaneous findings and treatments in deficiency of interleukin‐36 receptor antagonist (DITRA): A review of the literature
Authors: Okorie Chiamaka L. , Nayudu Krithika , Nambudiri Vinod E. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractDeficiency of the interleukin‐36 receptor antagonist (DITRA) is a rare autoinflammatory disorder caused by mutations in the IL36RN gene. This mutation leads to a lack of functional interleukin‐36 receptor antagonists (IL‐36Ra), which results in an overactive immune system and chronic inflammation. Despite its rarity, numerous case series and individual reports in the literature emphasize the importance of recognizing and managing DITRA. Early identification of the cutaneous signs of DITRA is crucial for accurate diagnosis and timely administration of appropriate treatment. This review article provides a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of the cutaneous, non‐cutaneous and histopathological manifestations of DITRA, with a focus on reported treatments. The disease typically presents in early childhood, although the age of onset can vary. Patients with DITRA exhibit recurrent episodes of skin inflammation, often with a pustular or pustular psoriasis‐like appearance. Additionally, non‐cutaneous manifestations are common, with recurrent fevers and elevated acute‐phase reactants being the most prevalent. The exact prevalence of DITRA is unknown. Some cases of loss‐of‐function mutations in the IL36RN gene, considered a hallmark for diagnosis, have been identified in patients with familial generalized pustular psoriasis (GPP). Biological therapies with inhibition of IL‐12/23 and IL‐17 are promising treatment options; paediatric patients with DITRA have shown complete response with mild relapses. New and emerging biologic therapeutics targeting the IL‐36 pathway are also of interest in the management of this rare autoinflammatory disorder.
The effect of providing feedback and feedforward in prosody instruction for developing listening comprehension skills by interpreter trainees

Published: September 2023

AbstractThe present study examines the effect of feedback (FB) and feedforward (FF) in prosody instruction for developing listening comprehension skills in the nonnative language by interpreter trainees, using a pretest–posttest–delayed posttest design. Three groups of 25 interpreter trainees at Bu‐Ali Sina University in Iran took part in the study, all groups receiving the same amount of instruction (10 h over 5 weeks). The control group listened to/viewed authentic audio recordings and movies in English, discussed their contents, and completed a variety of listening comprehension tasks but received no prosody instruction. The first experimental group spent part of the time on theoretical explanation of, and practical exercises with, English prosody by an instructor by providing FB when teaching prosody while the second experimental group was provided FF when teaching prosody. Versions of Longman's Test of English as a Foreign Language English proficiency test (paper‐based) were used to assess listening comprehension at pretest, immediate posttest and delayed posttest. The findings revealed that the prosody instruction by providing FB enhanced the listening comprehension skills of the interpreter trainees more than by providing FF. The practical implications of the study would be that in the given circumstances where only limited curricular time is available for instruction and practice, a judicious choice can be made to lend priority to providing FB in prosody instruction for developing listening comprehension skills by interpreter trainees rather than to the providing FF.

AbstractTo help determine whether planktonic eggs of fishes on the West Florida Shelf (WFS) are retained locally or exported elsewhere, we collected fish eggs by plankton net from 17 locations (stations) and identified them using DNA barcoding. We then entered the station coordinates into the West Florida Coastal Ocean Model (WFCOM) and simulated the trajectories of the passively drifting eggs over 2 weeks at three depths (surface, midwater, and near bottom). The results indicated there were two groups of trajectories: a nearshore group that tended to be retained and an offshore group that tended toward export and potential long‐distance dispersal. We also found evidence of a relationship between retention and higher fish‐egg abundance; nearshore stations were associated with higher fish‐egg abundances and higher retention. We suggest this is the result of (1) increased spawning in high‐retention areas, (2) increased drift convergence in high‐retention areas, or both processes acting together. Community analysis using SIMPROF indicated the presence of a depth‐related (retention‐related) difference in species assemblages. Fish‐egg species were also categorized as pelagics or non‐pelagics; there was no evidence of pelagic species being more likely to be exported.
Phenotypic signatures of urbanization? Resident, but not migratory, songbird eye size varies with urban‐associated light pollution levels
Authors: Jones Todd M. , Llamas Alfredo P. , Phillips Jennifer N. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractUrbanization now exposes large portions of the earth to sources of anthropogenic disturbance, driving rapid environmental change and producing novel environments. Changes in selective pressures as a result of urbanization are often associated with phenotypic divergence; however, the generality of phenotypic change remains unclear. In this study, we examined whether morphological phenotypes in two residential species (Carolina Wren [Thryothorus ludovicianus] and Northern Cardinal [Cardinalis cardinalis]) and two migratory species (Painted Bunting [Passerina ciris], and White‐eyed Vireo [Vireo griseus]), differed between urban core and edge habitats in San Antonio, Texas, USA. More specifically, we examined whether urbanization, associated sensory pollution (light and noise) and brightness (open, bright areas cause by anthropogenic land use) influenced measures of avian body (mass and frame size) and lateral eye size. We found no differences in body size between urban core and edge habitats for all species except the Painted Bunting, in which core‐urban individuals were smaller. Rather than a direct effect of urbanization, this was due to differences in age structure between habitats, with urban‐core areas consisting of higher proportions of younger buntings which are, on average, smaller than older birds. Residential birds inhabiting urban‐core areas had smaller eyes compared to their urban‐edge counterparts, resulting from a negative association between eye size and light pollution and brightness across study sites; notably, we found no such association in the two migratory species. Our findings demonstrate how urbanization may indirectly influence phenotypes by altering population demographics and highlight the importance of accounting for age when assessing factors driving phenotypic change. We also provide some of the first evidence that birds may adapt to urban environments through changes in their eye morphology, demonstrating the need for future research into relationships among eye size, ambient light microenvironment use, and disassembly of avian communities as a result of urbanization.

Published: September 2023

AbstractMotivationDue to language and networking barriers, global initiatives to compile trait data often fail to integrate data from sources in non‐English languages or scientists that largely speak and write in non‐English languages. To illustrate the potential for regional databases to fill gaps in trait data, and how such databases may fill critical gaps in global biodiversity databases, we built the Rasgos‐CL Database. Rasgos‐CL provides a comprehensive set of plant traits for the woody flora of Chile by mobilizing and standardizing unstructured data largely from the Spanish‐language literature. We quantified the gains in trait coverage compared to global trait databases and identified phylogenetic and geographic biases of trait data gaps.Main Types of Variables ContainedRasgos‐CL contains 25,174 trait records, including 2 continuous and 21 categorical traits for 662 woody species.Spatial Location and GrainNational coverage, with species that occur across all ecosystems in continental Chile.Time Period and GrainData were extracted from sources published between 1833 and 2023.Major Taxa and Level of MeasurementRasgos‐CL includes trait data aggregated at the species level for 662 tree and shrub species, and also provides trait records from individual data sources.Software FormatRasgos‐CL includes four csv files. A GitHub repository contains the csv files.

Published: September 2023

AimsThis study investigated the relationships between specific types of social participation and well‐being variables (i.e., life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, symptoms of depression and anxiety) in Chinese older adults in Hong Kong.MethodsThis study was a cross‐sectional study. A convenience sample of 341 participants aged 55–95 years (mean, 70.92; SD, 9.03) was recruited to complete a survey questionnaire during the COVID‐19 pandemic (between April and June 2022). Five hierarchical multiple regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationships between different types of social participation (physical, cultural, recreational, religious, and voluntary work) and outcome variables.ResultsAfter controlling for covariates, it was revealed that only physical activities were associated with all outcome variables. Religious and cultural activities were positively related to positive affect, while an inverse relationship was found between recreational activities and anxiety.ConclusionsWith the restrictions on social participation arising from the COVID‐19 pandemic, these findings suggest that promoting different types of social interactions might foster various aspects of well‐being in Chinese older adults. To achieve successful aging, the role of physical activities might be of paramount importance even under adverse situations. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2024; 24: 364–369.

Published: September 2023

AbstractIntroductionThe impact of joint damage on functional capacity in patients with mild haemophilia (PwMH) has yet to be well studied. The primary aim of this study was to investigate the effect of joint impairment on the functional capacity of the lower limb in PwMH. The secondary aim was to identify physical predictors of lower limb functional capacity.MethodForty‐nine PwMH were evaluated. Dynamic balance was assessed using Time Up and Go (TUG). Thirty‐second sit‐to‐stand (30‐STS) and 60‐second‐STS (60‐STS) were used to assess muscle power and endurance, respectively. Haemophilia Early Arthropathy Detection with Ultrasound (HEAD‐US) was used to assess joint damage. PwMH were divided based on HEAD‐US: with joint damage (≥3 points) and without or with very low joint damage (0–2 points). Univariate ANOVA and multiple regression analyses were performed to identify differences in functional capacity and potential physical predictors.ResultsOnly 30‐STS showed significant differences between groups (p = .002). TUG and 60‐STS were primarily explained by age (r2 = .21 andr2 = .44, respectively), while for 30‐STS, age combined with joint damage and pain level explains 54% of the variance.ConclusionOur findings indicate that the 30‐STS is useful for assessing functional deterioration in people with early‐stage haemophilia‐related arthropathy. Our results also indicate that joint damage, combined with ageing and pain, may impact 30‐STS outcomes in PwMH. Furthermore, our findings show that the loss in TUG and 60‐STS performance in PwMH is related to ageing.

AbstractAimsThe present study aimed to explore the effects of a guided self‐help mindfulness intervention on psychological resilience and job burnout among psychiatric nurses.BackgroundPsychiatric nurses work in challenging and potentially high stress settings. Mindfulness interventions can improve psychological resilience and reduce job burnout of nurses. However, face‐to‐face delivery of mindfulness interventions may be inconvenient for individuals. Guided self‐help interventions may be more accessible.MethodsThis randomized controlled trial was conducted from January to August 2022. One hundred and eighteen psychiatric nurses were randomized into the intervention and control groups. The individuals in the intervention group received an 8‐week guided self‐help mindfulness intervention, while the individuals in the control group received a psycho‐educational brochure. The Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale and the Maslach Burnout Inventory‐Human Services Survey were used to evaluate the levels of mindfulness, psychological resilience and job burnout, respectively.ResultsAfter an 8‐week intervention, compared with the control group, the levels of mindfulness and psychological resilience were higher, while the level of job burnout was lower in the intervention group.ConclusionsThe guided self‐help mindfulness intervention can improve psychological resilience and reduce job burnout among psychiatric nurses.
Security‐as‐Service in the Management of European Border Data Infrastructures
Authors: Maguire Eileen Murphy 
Published: September 2023

AbstractToday, large‐scale IT systems play a central role in the management of European borders. These systems not only support and enable the management of mobility but also require expert management as complex data infrastructures. Drawing on fieldwork carried out at the headquarters of the European Union Agency for the Operational Management of Large‐Scale IT Systems in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (eu‐LISA), this article engages with growing calls to explore the politics of data infrastructure management. Focusing on the expert discourses and practices of eu‐LISA, I show that, in line with a logic of service, it seeks to establish its legitimacy and authority as the manager of data infrastructures by sharing its expertise with its stakeholders. By attending to a logic of service, I show that the management of data infrastructures is neither exclusively depoliticising nor politicising; rather, it is often simultaneously both.

AbstractBackgroundCancer risk after long‐term exposure to interleukin (IL)‐23 inhibitors (IL‐23i) and IL‐17 inhibitors (IL‐17i) remains to be delineated.ObjectiveTo evaluate the risk of malignancies in patients with psoriasis treated with IL‐23i and IL‐17i relative to those prescribed tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) during the first 5 years following drug initiation.MethodsA global population‐based cohort study included two distinct analyses comparing patients with psoriasis under different therapeutic modalities; (i) new users of IL‐17i(n = 15,331) versus TNFi (n = 15,331) and (ii) new users of IL‐23i (n = 5832) versus TNFi (n = 5832).ResultsPatients prescribed IL‐17i experienced a decreased risk of non‐Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL; HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.40–0.82; p = 0.002), colorectal cancer (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.49–0.95; p = 0.024), hepatobiliary cancer (HR, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.58–0.80; p < 0.001), ovary cancer (HR, 0.48; 95% CI, 0.29–0.81; p = 0.005), melanoma (HR, 0.52; 95% CI, 0.37–0.73; p < 0.001), and basal cell carcinoma (BCC; HR, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.48–0.67; p < 0.001). IL‐23i was associated with a reduced risk of NHL (HR, 0.39; 95% CI, 0.19–0.78; p = 0.006), hepatobiliary cancer (HR, 0.44; 95% CI, 0.31–0.62; p < 0.001) and BCC (HR, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.57–0.99; p = 0.046). In a sensitivity analysis comparing patients managed by IL‐17i and IL‐23i with their biologic‐naïve counterparts, these classes were associated with decreased risk of several malignancies.ConclusionIL‐17i and IL‐23i are associated with decreased risk of several malignancies. These findings should be considered prior to the prescription of biologics.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study aimed to explore the antibacterial activity and mechanism of chitosan‐caffeic acid graft (CS‐g‐CA) against Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The minimum inhibitory concentration of CS‐g‐CA against S. aureus was assessed. The results of scanning electron microscope and confocal laser scanning microscope showed that CS‐g‐CA treatment could destroy the cell morphology and cause the leakage of intracellular contents, leading to bacteria death. The changes of superoxide dismutase, catalase, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and lipid peroxidation indicated that CS‐g‐CA stimulated the oxidative stress system of the cell, which further induced the generation of ROS, aggravated the accumulation of lipid peroxide, and destroyed the structure of the inner membrane. The electrophoresis results showed that the DNA of bacteria treated with CS‐g‐CA was broken led to the death of microorganisms. Overall, CS‐g‐CA has the potential to be a substitute for new bio‐preservative with bacteriostatic effects in food industry.

AbstractBackground and AimThe causal linkage between primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) and kidney function is unexplored despite their potential for long‐term detrimental effects on kidney function.MethodsTwo‐sample summary‐level Mendelian randomization (MR) study was conducted to identify the association between PSC and kidney function. The genetic variants were extracted from the PSC‐specific multi‐trait analyzed genome‐wide association study (GWAS) of European ancestry. Summary‐level data for kidney function traits, including estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), annual eGFR decline, and chronic kidney disease (CKD), were obtained from the CKDGen consortium. Multiplicative random‐effects inverse‐variance weighted (MR‐IVW), and a series of pleiotropy‐robust analyses were performed to investigate the causal effects and ascertain their robustness.ResultsSignificant causal associations between genetically predicted PSC and kidney function traits were identified. Genetically predicted PSC was associated with decreased log‐transformed eGFR (MR‐IVW; beta = −0.41%; standard error [SE] = 0.02%; P < 0.001), increased rate of annual eGFR decline (MR‐IVW; beta = 2.43%; SE = 0.18%; P < 0.001), and higher risk of CKD (MR‐IVW; odds ratio = 1.07; 95% confidence interval = 1.06–1.08; P < 0.001). The main findings were supported by pleiotropy‐robust analysis, including MR‐Egger with bootstrapped error and weighted median.ConclusionsOur study demonstrates that genetically predicted PSC is causally associated with kidney function impairment. Further studies are warranted to identify the underlying mechanisms.
