Published: March 2023

AbstractTo investigate the metabolic adaptation and lipid utilization to overwintering in Onychostoma macrolepis (27.05 ± 1.79 g), fish were sampled at 0, 75, and 150 days, respectively. Fish were randomly reared into three outdoor tanks (water temperature range:0–10°C). After overwintering, body weight, viscera index, hepatopancreas index, and intraperitoneal fat index were significantly lower than before (p < 0.05). In liver, the contents of monounsaturated fatty acid and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) were observed to be the lowest and the highest after 150 days of overwintering, respectively (p < 0.05). In serum, the concentrations of triglyceride (TG) and total cholesterol significantly decreased while the activities of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase significantly increased at Day 75 (p < 0.05). Hepatic antioxidant activities were significantly lower whereas malondialdehyde content was significantly higher at Day 150 (p < 0.05). Serum antioxidant indexes were similar to those in liver. During overwintering, the decrease of TG contents in tissues was influenced by the upregulation of lipidolysis genes. These results indicate that lipids were continuously mobilized as physiological fuels throughout overwintering. Overwintering could result in poor antioxidant status and higher lipid peroxidation level in O. macrolepis.

AbstractGiven the role of malnutrition in childhood morbidity and mortality, the prioritisation of maternal and child nutrition programmes has grown significantly in the 21st century. Policies and programmes aim to improve infant and young child feeding, but questions persist about the most effective combination of interventions to achieve desired behaviour change. There is increasing interest in mobile‐based interventions globally, but scant evidence exists to guide donors, policymakers and programme implementers on their effectiveness. Formative research was conducted to assess the feasibility and acceptance of text message‐based interventions and to guide the final design of the text message intervention. This protocol is for a cluster‐randomised controlled trial to test the effectiveness of adding text messaging to other ongoing SBC interventions to promote egg consumption, dietary diversity and other ideal dietary practices, particularly among children 12–23 months of age in Kanchanpur, Nepal. The trial findings will contribute to the emerging body of evidence on the effectiveness of using text messages for behaviour change, specifically for young child dietary outcomes in South Asia. Recent studies have suggested that mobile‐based interventions alone may be insufficient but valuable when added to other social and behavioural interventions; this trial will help to provide evidence for or against this emerging theory. This trial was registered at ClinicalTrials.gov on 11 March 2019 (ID: NCT03926689) and has been updated twice.

ObjectivePerilunate injuries are rare but devastating carpal injuries. The treatment of perilunate injuries remains challenging and contentious. This study aims to describe a novel mini‐invasive surgical technique of arthroscopic‐assisted reduction and robot‐assisted fixation for the treatment of trans‐scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocations (PLFDs).MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed patients with PLFDs after surgical treatment from February 2021 to March 2021. The patients underwent arthroscopic‐assisted precise reduction and robot‐assisted headless screw fixation. Times of guide wire placement were recorded intraoperatively. Periodic follow‐up was performed until union of scaphoid fracture was confirmed. Range of motion of the wrist, grip strength, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score, the Mayo Wrist Score, the Quick Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (QuickDASH) score, the Patient‐Rated Wrist Evaluation (PRWE), and osteoarthritis were evaluated at the final follow‐up.ResultsTwo male patients presenting with PLFDs with an average age of 24.5 years old (32 and 17 years) were included in this study. Intraoperatively, anatomic reduction of the scaphoid fracture was achieved under arthroscopic guidance. A robotic‐assisted single‐attempt guidewire insertion was performed for scaphoid fracture and lunotriquetral interval. The CT scans at 8 and 12 weeks showed the union of the scaphoid fracture. At final mean follow‐up of 13.5 months, the extension, radial‐ulnar deviation, and pronation‐supination were consistent with the contralateral side in both patients. One patient experienced mild limited range of motion with the flexion 46° of the injured wrist compared with 81°of the contralateral wrist. The VAS score was 0 and 2. The grip strength was 32 and 26 kg compared with 24 and 42 kg of the contralateral wrist. The PRWE score was 13 and 10 and the QuickDASH score was 2 and 7. The Mayo Wrist Score was 100 and 65. No sign of osteoarthritis was found at the last follow‐up.ConclusionsArthroscopic‐assisted reduction and robot‐assisted fixation is a viable and promising alternative for the treatment of perilunate fracture dislocations. This technique allows precise reduction and accurate placement of the K‐wires/screws into the carpal bones through the optimal biomechanical paths.
Similar minds in the family: COVID‐19 centrality and relationship quality

Published: March 2023

AbstractWe examined whether perceived similarity in COVID‐19 centrality (i.e., the extent to which one thinks of the pandemic as shaping current and future life) is associated with family relationship quality during the pandemic. Thinking that other family members are similar to oneself regarding the pandemic's centrality may improve the quality of family relationships. We collected data from Turkish family triads (i.e., mother, father, 18–25 years old child) and had 481 participants from 180 families. Participants rated their similarity in COVID‐19 centrality with the other two family members and reported the general and daily quality of their relationship with them (relationship satisfaction, closeness, conflict). We analyzed the data using the Social Relations Model. We found that family members who, on average, perceived more similarity in COVID‐19 centrality reported higher levels in positive attributes of general relationship quality (i.e., satisfaction and closeness). The effects on conflict and daily relationship quality were less conclusive. This research confirms that family members' reactions during the COVID‐19 pandemic are interdependent. Perceiving that other family members are of similar minds about the centrality of the pandemic relates positively to some aspects of relationship quality.

Published: March 2023

AbstractNo previous studies have analyzed values as qualities of relational microsystems, such as the romantic couple. Based on Schwartz's Theory of Human Values, this study examines the psychometric properties of the Portrait Couple Values Questionnaire (PCVQ). It measures four couple value dimensions: conservation, openness to change, self‐enhancement, and self‐transcendence. Five hundred and forty‐six Italian respondents (54.1% women), aged 41.52 years (SD = 7.19; range 23–63) and having a couple relationship, have filled in an anonymous online questionnaire. The results show the good psychometric properties of the PCVQ. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis Magnifying Glass Strategy shows good indexes of fit for each value dimension, except for the Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) for openness to change, thus confirming that the PCVQ measures the four values with satisfactory internal consistency. The Multidimensional Scaling results, by showing a Stress‐1 index of 0.07, confirm the circular structure of values because the four value dimensions are in the position predicted by Schwartz's model. Participants' personal and couple values are highly but not perfectly correlated, suggesting that couple values are a related but distinct construct compared to personal values. This study's contribution lies in introducing an innovative construct into the literature on values and couples, proposing a scale to assess it.
Wrinkles in subsecond time perception are synchronized to the heart

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe role of the heart in the experience of time has been long theorized but empirical evidence is scarce. Here, we examined the interaction between fine‐grained cardiac dynamics and the momentary experience of subsecond intervals. Participants performed a temporal bisection task for brief tones (80–188 ms) synchronized with the heart. We developed a cardiac Drift‐Diffusion Model (cDDM) that embedded contemporaneous heart rate dynamics into the temporal decision model. Results revealed the existence of temporal wrinkles—dilation or contraction of short intervals—in synchrony with cardiac dynamics. A lower prestimulus heart rate was associated with an initial bias in encoding the millisecond‐level stimulus duration as longer, consistent with facilitation of sensory intake. Concurrently, a higher prestimulus heart rate aided more consistent and faster temporal judgments through more efficient evidence accumulation. Additionally, a higher speed of poststimulus cardiac deceleration, a bodily marker of attention, was associated with a greater accumulation of sensory temporal evidence in the cDDM. These findings suggest a unique role of cardiac dynamics in the momentary experience of time. Our cDDM framework opens a new methodological avenue for investigating the role of the heart in time perception and perceptual judgment.

ABSTRACTThe interaction of sedimentary systems with oceanographic processes in deep‐water environments is not well understood yet, despite its importance for palaeoenvironmental reconstructions, and for a full understanding of source‐to‐sink sediment transport. The aim of this study is to improve the understanding of how contourite moats, elongated depressions formed by bottom currents associated with contourite drifts, develop and of the link between moat‐drift system morphology and bottom current dynamics. This study provides a systematic comparison of 185 cross‐sections of moat‐drift systems distributed at 39 different locations worldwide, and a detailed analysis of the morphology of six moats that cover a wide range of typical geological and hydrodynamic settings. Additionally, in situ measured current data were analysed to better link hydrodynamics to moat morphology. The median of all profiles across all moat‐drift systems reveals a 50 m relief, a width of 2.3 km, a relief to width ratio of 0.022, a slope angle of 6°, a drift angle of 3° and a concave‐up shaped morphology. Moats can be over 100 km long. Some moats are driven by sediment erosion while others are depositional and primarily exist due to differential sedimentation inside the moat compared to the drift alongside the moat. A new sub‐classification of moat‐drift systems based on their stratigraphy is proposed. This classification distinguishes moats depending on the degree of erosion versus deposition. No relation is found between latitude and moat‐drift morphology or stratigraphy in the analysed examples. The combined data indicate that a steeper slope focuses the current more than a gentle slope, resulting in an increase of the relief–width ratio and drift angle. Thus, this study provides new insights into the interaction of ocean currents with sedimentary morphology, which thereby affects the evolution of a poorly understood deep‐water sedimentary system.
Whatever happened to municipal radicalism?
Authors: Thompson Matthew 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWhat can the municipal state do to radically transform urban economies? Local government in countries such as the UK has been historically tasked with delivering public services; rarely extending its remit to economic development, let alone community‐led forms promoting economic democracy, at least not since 1980s municipal socialism. But times are changing, and the UK case provides some telling examples of what is now possible. Community wealth building, cooperative development and foundational economy approaches are fast gaining traction in municipalities across the UK, through emergent public‐common‐philanthropic partnerships with progressive think tanks, cooperative development agencies, community enterprises, foundations and charitable trusts. This article explores complexifying relations between the state, the cooperative movement and the non‐profit industrial complex in the pursuit of sustainable and generative economic development as playing out differently in urban policy experiments in the English cities of Preston and Plymouth. The article contributes to current debates on local state restructuring, municipal statecraft and urban entrepreneurialism by critically comparing these place‐based variegations of municipal‐cooperative development with previous waves, and with more financialised and extractivist forms of statecraft, drawing out implications for praxis.

AbstractBackground and ObjectivesReducing the maximum red blood cell (RBC) shelf‐life is under consideration due to potential negative effects of older blood. An assessment of the impacts of this change on blood supply chain management is evaluated.Materials and MethodsWe performed a simulation study using data from 2017 to 2018 to estimate the outdate rate (ODR), STAT order and non‐group‐specific RBC transfusion at two Canadian health authorities (HAs).ResultsShortening shelf‐life from 42 to 35 and 28 days led to the following: ODRs (in percentage) in both HAs increased from 0.52% (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.50–0.54) to 1.32% (95% CI 1.26–1.38) and 5.47% (95% CI 5.34–5.60), respectively (p < 0.05). The estimated yearly median of outdated RBCs increased from 220 (interquartile range [IQR] 199–242) to 549 (IQR 530–576) and 2422 (IQR 2308–2470), respectively (p < 0.05). The median number of outdated redistributed units increased from 152 (IQR 136–168) to 356 (IQR 331–369) and 1644 (IQR 1591–1741), respectively (p < 0.05). The majority of outdated RBC units were from redistributed units rather than units ordered from the blood supplier.The estimated weekly mean STAT orders increased from 11.4 (95% CI 11.2–11.5) to 14.1 (95% CI 13.1–14.3) and 20.9 (95% CI 20.6–21.1), respectively (p < 0.001). The non‐group‐specific RBC transfusion rate increased from 4.7% (95% CI 4.6–4.8) to 8.1% (95% CI 7.9–8.3) and 15.6% (95% CI 15.3–16.4), respectively (p < 0.001). Changes in ordering schedules, decreased inventory levels and fresher blood received simulated minimally mitigated these impacts.ConclusionDecreasing RBC shelf‐life negatively impacted RBC inventory management, including increasing RBC outdating and STAT orders, which supply modifications minimally mitigate.
Epistemología de la educación inclusiva

Published: March 2023

La educación inclusiva como proyecto intelectual y político focaliza su campo de trabajo en la atención a las relaciones de poder y las desigualdades sociales. El objetivo de este trabajo es explorar los engranajes que ensamblan parte de la comprensión epistemológica de la educación inclusiva por fuera de las regulaciones intelectuales imputadas por lo especial. El método empleado en esta oportunidad es el de revisión documental crítica. El trabajo concluye que uno de los problemas de la razón de la educación inclusiva habita un registro en el que el proceder de su razón no se comprende, ni se conoce.
Inclusión y justicia simbólica en experiencias lectoliterarias escolares
Authors: Sánchez-Lara Ricardo Antonio 
Published: March 2023

La lectura literaria escolar es una preocupación permanente y múltiple, sin embargo, en Latinoamérica se han invisibilizado, en general, perspectivas científicas y analíticas que exceden, política y epistémicamente, su relación con la medición tecnificante y con la supuesta independencia entre el observador y la observación. En este contexto investigativo, es posible afirmar que existe un diálogo poco explorado: la relación entre justicia simbólica y prácticas lectoras, más concretamente, la relación entre inclusión, exclusión y lectura escolar de textos literarios.
En consecuencia, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar, en experiencias de lectura literaria escolar, diversos mecanismos de inclusión y exclusión desde la perspectiva crítico-analítica de la justicia simbólica. Específicamente se propone: 1.- describir las experiencias reportadas por estudiantes de distintos tipos de escolarización (pagada, pública y mixta), 2.- distinguir disposiciones de exclusión e inclusión y, 3.- situar dichas disposiciones en coordenadas epistémicas que permitan reflexionar en torno al carácter político de la lectura literaria escolar.
Metodológicamente, el trabajo se inserta en un paradigma pospositivista que reconoce la multiplicidad de experiencias como ocurrencias siempre legítimas, constructivas de realidad y dependientes de los contextos socioculturales donde operan los acontecimientos lectores. Con un diseño biográfico-narrativo de enfoque cualitativo, se aplicarán dos técnicas de producción de información (escritura de incidentes críticos y entrevistas semiestructuradas de trayectorias lectoras) que permitirán, en términos analíticos, examinar desde el análisis crítico del discurso un corpus de 12 experiencias reportadas por 6 estudiantes chilenos, en tres niveles: textual, como práctica discursiva y como práctica social.
Entre los resultados destacan:
1.- Las condiciones político-didácticas de las llamadas “buenas experiencias de lectura”, no reconocen la mediación pedagógica y se corresponden, en general, con ocurrencias débilmente devenidas del discurso curricular. Por el contrario, las llamadas “malas experiencias de lectura”, son consecuencia de mediaciones pedagógicas informadas por sustratos técnicos, universales y acríticos (desprendidos del currículum oficial).
2-. Los principales mecanismos de exclusión operan como cristalizaciones de una postura epistémica que niega la dependencia entre el observador y la observación, materializándose en invisibilizaciones biográficas, expresiones homogéneas y autoasimilaciones lectoras. Contrariamente, los principales mecanismos de inclusión están mediados por disposiciones extraescolares que se concretan en procesos poéticos y catárquicos, gatillados siempre por recurrencias sociales, tradiciones familiares o intereses estético-creativos.
Modeling and Analysis of the Leading-Edge Vortex on Flapping Foil Turbines in Swing-Arm Mode

Published: March 2023

AbstractHydrokinetic flapping foil turbines in swing-arm mode have gained considerable interest in recent years because of their enhanced capability to extract power, and improved efficiency compared to foils in simple mode. The performance of foil turbines is closely linked to the development and separation of the leading-edge vortex (LEV). The paper's aim is to develop a purpose-built 2D numerical model to present the capability of integrating the weighted residual finite element method (FEM) with the interface capturing technique, level-set method (LSM), in providing a high-quality numerical simulation of the flapping foil in swing-arm mode, by accurately modeling the formation and the separation of the LEV on flapping foils. The solvers were validated against well-known static and dynamic benchmark problems and the effect of the mesh density was analyzed and discussed. This paper further covers an initial investigation of the hydrodynamics of flapping foil in swing-arm mode, by studying the structure of the vortex around a NACA0012 foil. The presented method helps to provide a better understanding of the relation between the Leading-Edge Vortex creation, growth, and separation over the flapping foil in swing-arm mode and the extracted power from a hydrokinetic turbine.

ObjectivesWe aimed to compare the long-term outcomes and surgical benefits between moyamoya disease (MMD) and atherosclerosis-associated moyamoya vasculopathy (AS-MMV) using high-resolution MRI (HRMRI).MethodsMMV patients were retrospectively included and divided into the MMD and AS-MMV groups according to vessel wall features on HRMRI. Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression were performed to compare the incidence of cerebrovascular events and prognosis of encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis (EDAS) treatment between MMD and AS-MMV.ResultsOf the 1173 patients (mean age: 42.4±11.0 years; male: 51.0%) included in the study, 881 were classified into the MMD group and 292 into the AS-MMV group. During the average follow-up of 46.0±24.7 months, the incidence of cerebrovascular events in the MMD group was higher compared with that in the AS-MMV group before (13.7% vs 7.2%; HR 1.86; 95% CI 1.17 to 2.96; p=0.008) and after propensity score matching (6.1% vs 7.3%; HR 2.24; 95% CI 1.34 to 3.76; p=0.002). Additionally, patients treated with EDAS had a lower incidence of events than those not treated with EDAS, regardless of whether they were in the MMD (HR 0.65; 95% CI 0.42 to 0.97; p=0.043) or AS-MMV group (HR 0.49; 95% CI 0.51 to 0.98; p=0.048).ConclusionsPatients with MMD had a higher risk of ischaemic stroke than those with AS-MMV, and patients with both MMD and AS-MMV could benefit from EDAS. Our findings suggest that HRMRI could be used to identify those who are at a higher risk of future cerebrovascular events.
