Published: April 2023

AbstractThe authors performed an instantaneous bioenergetic study with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) of 206.3 g ± 2.9 g in a group respirometer of nine 250 l tanks at five different water temperatures (12, 14, 16, 18, 20°C) to determine the optimal thermal condition for a maximal visualization of the protein‐sparing effect. Twelve fish per tank were tested at a stocking density of 9.94 kg m−3 ± 0.14 kg m−3 and fed three low‐protein/high‐energy diets with constant crude protein content of c. 35% and three different energy contents (17.35, 18.76, 20.50 MJ kg−1) once daily at a ration of 1.3% body weight (n = 3). Energy levels were increased by adding gelatinized wheat starch as a carbohydrate source and fish oil, canola oil and palmitin as lipid sources. Three different dietary digestible protein/digestible energy ratios (DP/DE: 20.38, 19.08, 18.09 mg kJ−1) were achieved by replacing bentonite as a non‐nutritive filler with carbohydrates and lipids. Oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion were assessed to obtain the potentially retainable energy (RE) and ammonia quotient (AQ) as benchmarks for potential growth and protein‐sparing effect. The results showed the lowest relative metabolic combustion of protein at 16.9°C ± 0.1°C. The authors determined this temperature to set the optimal thermal condition for the induction of a maximum protein‐sparing effect in juvenile rainbow trout. Increasing the DP/DE ratio significantly altered the magnitude of the relative metabolic protein use but had no effect on its interactions with temperature. The authors were able to reduce average metabolic fuel use of protein across diets from 16.2% ± 2.3% at 12°C to 8.0% ± 1.2% at 16°C. This study found no relevant significant differences of RE with the environmental temperature.

AbstractReductions in a limiting nutrient might be expected to necessitate compromises in the functional traits that depend on that nutrient; yet populations existing in locations with low levels of such nutrients often do not show the expected degradation of functional traits. Indeed, logperch (Percina caprodes), pumpkinseed sunfish (Lepomis gibbosus) and yellow perch (Perca flavescens) residing in low‐calcium water in the Upper St. Lawrence River were all previously found to maintain levels of scale calcium comparable to those of conspecific populations in high‐calcium water. Yet it remains possible that the maintenance of one functional trait (i.e., scale calcium) under nutrient‐limited (i.e., low calcium) conditions could come at the expense of maintaining other functional traits that depend on the same nutrient. The present study therefore examines other calcium‐dependent traits, specifically skeletal element sizes and bone densities in the same fish species in the same area. Using radiographs of 101 fish from the three species across four locations (two in high‐calcium water and two in low‐calcium water), this new work documents multi‐trait “homeostasis” along the gradient of water calcium. That is, no effect of calcium regime (low‐calcium vs. high‐calcium) was detected on any of the measured variables. Further, effect sizes for the skeletal traits were very low − lower even than effect sizes previously documented for scale calcium. These results thus show that native fishes maintain phenotypic stability across a suite of functional traits linked to calcium regulation, perhaps pointing to an “organismal‐level homeostasis” scenario rather than a “trait‐level homeostasis” scenario.

Published: April 2023

AbstractFlood defences are in practice often multi‐used, multi‐managed and multi‐financed. Flood defence asset management contains technical, organizational and spatial complex issues involving multiple organizations. In the literature, little attention has been given to the conditions for successful cooperation between organizations in flood defence asset management. This paper elaborates on this aspect of mature asset management from a practical point of view. Although the importance of a fit‐for‐purpose cooperation seems trivial, practice shows that the shape of cooperation is often the coincidental result of implicit or ad‐hoc choices and is not deliberately designed. This paper reports on empirical data gathered in a case consisting of five different situations related to collaboration in flood defence management. The management context consists of three main tasks: performance assessment, reinforcement and daily management, and three decision levels: strategic, tactical and operational, resulting in nine different management environments and related interfaces. For effectively achieving desired outcomes, the shape of cooperation has to be explicitly chosen dependent on the complexity of content and organizational context, and relevant external circumstances: situational cooperation.
Efficacy of the Standard Breast Crawl Technique on Maternal and Newborn Outcomes After Term Vaginal Birth: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Rana Pooja , Swain Dharitri 
Published: April 2023

IntroductionThe breast crawl technique is a strategy for initiating breastfeeding during the first hour of life, an important goal with long‐lasting effects on newborn health and development. However, there is a lack of research to back up the benefits of the standard breast crawl technique over routine skin‐to‐skin care.MethodsA single‐center single‐masked randomized controlled trial was conducted among 132 women who had given birth vaginally to a full‐term newborn. The study group had received the standard breast crawl (SBC) technique and the control group had received skin‐to‐skin contact (SSC). The outcome measures included time to initiation of breast crawl and breastfeeding, LATCH score, newborn breastfeeding behavior, time to expulsion of placenta, episiotomy suturing pain, amount of blood loss, and uterine involution.ResultsOutcomes were analyzed for 60 women in each group who remained eligible. Compared with those in the SSC group, women in the SBC group had shorter time to initiation of the breast crawl (7.40 minutes vs 10.42 minutes, P = .001), shorter time to initiation of breast feeding (23.18 minutes vs 30.58 minutes, P = .003), higher LATCH scores (7.57 vs 5.35, P = .001), and higher newborn breastfeeding behavior scores (11.38 vs 9.08, P = .001). Women in the SBC group also had decreased mean time to birth of the placenta (4.67 minutes vs 6.58 minutes, P =.001), lower episiotomy suturing pain scores (2.72 vs 4.50, P =.001), and decreased maternal blood loss (16.66% vs 53.33%, P = .001); were more likely to involute the uterus below the umbilicus after 24 hours of birth (77% vs 10%, P = .001); and had higher maternal birth satisfaction score (7.15 vs 2.0, P = .001).DiscussionThe study demonstrates improvement of newborn and maternal short‐term outcomes with use of the SBC technique. Findings support the use of SBC technique as a routine labor room practice to improve immediate maternal and newborn outcomes.

AbstractBackgroundAn increasing demand for in‐office aesthetic procedures aiming to improve collagen stimulation has been reported.ObjectiveTo analyze the effects of combinations of different aesthetic collagen stimulation procedures using histological analysis.MethodsHistological analysis was performed on skin samples of the excess skin of a 60‐year‐old patient after sub‐superficial musculo‐aponeurotic system facelift surgery. The excess skin before facelift surgery was divided into three areas per hemiface. Each area—with exception of area A as a control—received an isolated or combined treatment of microfocused ultrasound (MFU), injections of calcium‐hydroxylapatite/hyaluronic‐acid‐based soft tissue filler, and microneedling. The effect of the treatments was analyzed using histological analysis with H&E coloration and PAS staining.ResultsA threefold increase of epidermal and dermal thickness was achieved by treating the skin with the proposed combined treatment comprising MFU and injections of calcium‐hydroxylapatite‐ and hyaluronic‐acid‐based soft tissue fillers.ConclusionThe investigated treatments act synergistically in the production of collagen and combining these treatments allows for an increase in collagen production.
A New Reading of the Ẓāhir and Bāṭin of History in Al‐Muqaddima by Ibn Khaldun
Authors: Abou‐Tabickh Lilian 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis essay offers a new interpretation of the terms ẓāhir and bāṭin in Al‐Muqaddima based on Ibn Khaldun's philosophy of language and rhetorical style. It shows that the figurative phrase fī bāṭinihi, followed by the term naẓar, implies that bāṭin is where historians should look to verify their information. On this reading, bāṭin denotes human association and its “essential conditions”. The terms also imply that there is reason in the bāṭin of history. Polities are at the core of history and its study, and politics requires reason to conduct. In this context, bāṭin is the content and substance of history, which refers to political organization and the range of rational actions required for the management of society. The ẓāhir of history, on the other hand, refers to the expression where the conditions of speech need to conform to the conditions in human association. This interpretation underscores the role of choice in Al‐Muqaddima and challenges the determinism prevalent in the secondary literature.
Stretch Goals, Factual/Counterfactual Reflection Strategies, and Firm Performance
Authors: Yang Miles M. 
Published: April 2023

AbstractPopular business press and academic publications have advocated for stretch goals, particularly to enhance firm performance. The general assumption is that stretch goals can create a more challenging task environment that upsets complacency, inspires motivation, encourages outside‐the‐box thinking, stimulates search and innovation, and guides efforts and persistence. Surprisingly few systematic empirical studies have been conducted to support stretch goal deployment, such as when and how to use them. This study introduces two reflection strategies – counterfactual reflection (managers confront performance feedback and create possible alternatives) and factual reflection (managers analyse their own decisions and explain performance feedback) – and uses two experimental laboratory studies to test how different reflection strategies contribute to the stretch goal‐performance relationship. The results indicated that using stretch goals does not affect firm performance, although theoretically, using stretch goals can create a more challenging task environment and enhance performance. Rather, it is the combination of the type of goal and reflection strategy that affects performance. I suspect that under stretch goals, managers may be unable to implement new ideas as expected, leading to growing performance gaps and perceived continuous failures over time. Consequently, their motivation to search for alternative solutions declines, and they may fall into a spiral of self‐constrained thinking. The results demonstrate that under stretch goals, managers use factual reflection strategies to deliberately reflect on performance feedback to achieve higher performance. In contrast, managers who are assigned moderate goals perform better if they use a counterfactual reflection strategy. I suggest that by using a different reflection strategy, managers can further improve performance by encouraging directed search behaviour and avoiding self‐constrained thinking spirals. My study provides a richer theoretical and empirical appreciation of the effect of reflection strategy depending on the task environment and goal‐setting.

AbstractThe present study overcomes the limited empirical evidence on the association between well‐being and school engagement in times of adversity by exploiting available data from two large and comparable samples of eighth graders; one obtained prior to the COVID‐19 pandemic and the second obtained during the pandemic. Results suggest that adolescents were less engaged with their learning context during the pandemic, as well as lower in positive and negative affect, but slightly more satisfied with life. Through SEM we found a stronger positive association between positive affect and school engagement in the COVID‐19 group compared with the pre‐COVID‐19 group. This finding highlights the important role of positive affect in supporting better academic functioning in the aftermath of a global crisis.
Sensory analysis of fabric friction noise: Methodology, training, and validation of a panel to evaluate fabric friction noise perception

Published: April 2023

AbstractFabric friction generates sounds that can be expected or uncomfortable depending on the application. Indeed, acoustic properties of fabrics depend on many parameters like the weave pattern or the surface roughness and according to these properties, sounds will be differently perceived by human ear. This study establishes a list of 16 attributes and the corresponding references and also a method step by step to train the panel to evaluate and characterize textile products. An example of application is presented to show the differences or similarities between samples with different friction speed. Therefore, this work represents a step toward the standardization of the approach to the sensory analysis of fabric friction sounds and can be applied to different space products.Practical ApplicationsSensory analyses are a way to objectively characterize the attributes of different products, especially textile products. Determining whether products fulfill established criteria for some attributes is important for quality control, ensuring consumer trust or drawing some correlations between mechanical and acoustic/mechanical properties. The present study aimed to set up a standardized method for the sensory analysis of fabric friction sounds of fabrics. The sensory approach developed has enabled the sensory characterization of various fabric friction sounds using the selected descriptors, making it possible to establish a sensory profile. The follow‐up study will focus on the correlations between instrumental and sensory approach. In addition, different surface treatments (softener, cross‐linker) will be used in order to observe their influence on the sensory profiles.

AbstractCyanobacteria are diverse prokaryotic, photosynthetic organisms present in nearly every known ecosystem. Recent investigations around the world have recovered vast amounts of novel biodiversity in seldom sampled habitats. One phylogenetically significant character, the secondary folding structures of the 16S–23S ITS rDNA region, has allowed an unprecedented capacity to erect new species. However, two questions arise: Is this feature as informative as is proposed, and how do we best employ these features? Submerged sinkholes with oxygen‐poor, sulfur‐rich ground water in Lake Huron (USA) contain microbial mats dominated by both oxygenic and anoxygenic cyanobacteria. We sought to document some of this unique cyanobacterial diversity. Using culture‐based investigations, we recovered 45 strains, of which 23 were analyzed employing 16S–23S rDNA sequences, ITS folding patterns, ecology, and morphology. With scant morphological discontinuities and nebulous 16S rDNA gene sequence divergence, ITS folding patterns were effective at articulating cryptic biodiversity. However, we would have missed these features had we not folded all the available motifs from the strains, including those with highly similar 16S rDNA gene sequences. If we had relied solely on morphological or 16S rDNA gene data, then we might well have missed the diversity of Anagnostidinema. Thus, in order to avoid conformation basis, which is potentially common when employing ITS structures, we advocate clustering strains based on ITS rDNA region patterns independently and comparing them back to 16S rDNA gene phylogenies. Using a total evidence approach, we erected a new taxon according to the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants: Anagnostidinema visiae.

AbstractPurposeThe use of telemedicine (TM) has accelerated in recent years, yet research on the implementation and effectiveness of TM‐delivered medication treatment for opioid use disorder (MOUD) has been limited. This study investigated the feasibility of implementing a care coordination model involving MOUD delivered via an external TM provider for the purpose of expanding access to MOUD for patients in rural settings.MethodsThe study tested a care coordination model in 6 rural primary care sites by establishing referral and coordination between the clinic and a TM company for MOUD. The intervention spanned approximately 6 months from July/August 2020 to January 2021, coinciding with the peak of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Each clinic tracked patients with OUD in a registry during the intervention period. A pre‐/post‐intervention design (N = 6) was used to assess the clinic‐level outcome as patient‐days on MOUD based on patient electronic health records.FindingsAll clinics implemented critical components of the intervention, with an overall TM referral rate of 11.7% among patients in the registry. Five of the 6 sites showed an increase in patient‐days on MOUD during the intervention period compared to the 6‐month period before the intervention (mean increase per 1,000 patients: 132 days, P = .08, Cohen's d = 0.55). The largest increases occurred in clinics that lacked MOUD capacity or had a greater number of patients initiating MOUD during the intervention period.ConclusionsTo expand access to MOUD in rural settings, the care coordination model is most effective when implemented in clinics that have negligible or limited MOUD capacity.
Interprofessional identity and motivation towards interprofessional collaboration
Authors: Reinders Jan‐Jaap , Krijnen Wim 
Published: April 2023

AbstractIntroductionIt is unknown whether interprofessional identity is able to explain interprofessional behaviours. Extended professional identity theory provides clues by combining two psychological identity approaches. The aim of this study is to investigate whether interprofessional identity is a source for intrinsic motivation towards interprofessional collaboration related to wider group membership.MethodsParticipants of this double‐blinded study were 47 dentistry and 41 dental hygiene students (86.3% response) without interprofessional education (IPE) experience. Group productivity was used as indicator of group effort and equal communication as indication for interprofessional direction. The extended professional identity scale (EPIS) was used to measure interprofessional identity eight weeks prior to a mandatory IPE course. Based on EPIS levels, students were assigned to a low or high interprofessional identity group condition. Subsequently, 12 interprofessional teams (four to five members) were randomly composed per condition. Each group received eight problems (regarding roles, responsibilities and collaborative practice) for which they were expected to provide up to 10 solutions. Six trained psychologists rated the validity of solutions after which the percentage of solutions per group was calculated. Additionally, the psychologists rated interprofessional direction by observing team communication (asking questions, topic control, prosocial formulations, and speech frequency) during the second group meeting.ResultsNo interprofessional identity differences were found with regard to gender and profession. The mean difference between groups with low versus high interprofessional identity was 0.5 (M = 3.4; SD = 0.5 and M = 3.9, SD = 0.4, respectively), t = −5.880, p < 0.001. Groups with high identity generated more solutions compared to low identity groups (91.5% vs. 86.4%), t = −2938, p = 0.004. The correlation between individual interprofessional identity and group effort was significant, r = 0.22, p = 0.036. Groups with high identity showed more interprofessional direction, t = −2.160, p = 0.034.DiscussionInterprofessional identity has a positive effect on congruent interprofessional behaviours after 10 weeks. More research is required to understand interprofessional identity in relation to performance in education and work.

AbstractThis study aimed to identify sociodemographic and academic factors associated with unhealthy lifestyles among Brazilian undergraduate nursing students. A cross‐sectional study was completed by 286 nursing students in Brazil. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to examine the association between sociodemographic and academic variables with the latent lifestyle indicator. The model fit's validity was assessed using Akaike information coefficient estimation, Hosmer–Lemeshow test, and the ROC curve. A high health risk lifestyle was 2.7 times more likely among students aged 18–24 years than students aged 25 years or older (OR = 2.7, 95% CI = [1.18, 6.54]p = 0.02); 2.3 times more likely among students with ≥400 h of semester time (OR = 2.3, 95% CI = [0.93, 5.90],p = 0.07); and 3.8 times more likely among female students (OR = 3.8, 95% CI = [0.82, 8.12],p = 0.09). A moderate health risk lifestyle was 1.8 times more likely among students from the 6th to 10th semesters (OR = 1.8, 95% CI = [−0.95, 3.75],p = 0.07). Sociodemographic and academic factors were associated with unhealthy lifestyles. Health promotion efforts are necessary to improve nursing students' health behaviors.
