Authors: Baena-Morales Salvador , Merma-Molina Gladys , Ferriz-Valero Alberto 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
The aim of this personal vision research is to analyse the characteristics of physical education subject to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through the development of competences in university students. The objective is to reflect on how critical and systemic thinking could be mobilised through the contents and methodologies in physical education to promote the SDGs.

Design/methodology/approach
A conceptual article is proposed in which an active investigation of how physical education could foster critical and systemic thinking has been carried out. For this purpose, articles were selected that have analysed the potential of physical education for sustainability. Databases such as Web of Science, Scopus or Google Scholar have been reviewed through keywords such as “physical education”, “sustainability”, “critical thinking” or “systems thinking”.

Findings
Strategies are presented to enable university students to understand the scope of the subject beyond the physical dimension. This study discusses that it is only through such a change of view of the subject that meaningful learning and learning situations that encourage enquiry and active participation can be introduced. Thus, this paper argues that physical education is a unique area of knowledge for mobilising critical and systemic thinking in the context of sustainable development (SD). Consequently, concrete actions are presented for application in physical education teaching that shows direct connections to specific targets of the SDGs.

Practical implications
This study presents practical implications for higher education leaders and educational policy designers at the national level, as it would help improve initial and ongoing training programs for physical education teachers, focusing on the development of key competencies for sustainability.

Social implications
Physical education has the potential to contribute to the development of vulnerable schools and communities, especially to the health and well-being of children and young people and does not require large financial budgets. Therefore, the recommendations presented in this study can have a positive impact on the well-being of these groups.

Originality/value
This document invites reflection on how, through different teaching strategies, we can produce significant learning that contributes to the sustainability of the planet. All this, trying to mobilise critical and systemic thinking and consequently improving awareness for SD.

Augmented reality marketing to enhance museum visit intentions
Authors: Wu Chih-Hung , Lin Yi-Fang , Peng Kang-Lin , Liu Chih-Hsing 
Published: June 2023

Purpose
This study aims to explore the augmented reality (AR) effectiveness of museum visiting.

Design/methodology/approach
Based on the AR marketing of the motivation model and the inspiration model, the critical mental process and AR were revealed that could increase museum visits. The mixed-methods approach was adopted to analyze the qualitative research and test the model hypotheses to understand the perceptions of the increasing AR marketing of museum visits.

Findings
The authors found that inspiration and perceived quality AR are critical to enhancing the attitudinal of museum visits. AR developers can thus focus on utilitarian and hedonic benefits in perceptual augmentation quality to inspire users’ willingness to visit museums.

Originality/value
This study extended the inspiration model through a mixed-methods approach to investigate how AR technologies encourage and leverage visitor experience to increase museum visit intention psychologically.

Authors: Saadia Haleema , Naveed Muhammad Asif 
Published: June 2023

PurposeThis research examined the effects of information literacy on lifelong learning, creativity, and work performance among journalists in Pakistan.Design/methodology/approachSurvey research design was applied to conduct this research. The participants were recruited through a stratified convenient sampling process from the press clubs of four provinces (e.g. Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Baluchistan) and the federal capital Islamabad with the consent of relevant authorities for data collection. An online questionnaire was distributed among these journalists and a total of 1,089 responses were received. The data were analyzed by applying descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS.FindingsThe results revealed that these journalists perceived themselves as information literate. The information literacy (IL) skills of journalists appeared to have a direct and positive effect on their lifelong learning, creativity, and work performance. In other words, the lifelong learning, creativity, and work performance of journalists increase as their levels of IL skills increase.Practical implicationsThese results generated useful insights for academicians and organizations about the importance of IL in the workplace and its influence on organizational effectiveness and performance in gaining a sustainable competitive advantage. This knowledge might be crucial for media employers to initiate training programs for journalists to impart IL education.Originality/valueThis research would be a worthwhile contribution to the existing research on workplace IL, particularly in the context of journalists' workplace as no such comprehensive study using these variables appeared so far.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at: https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-06-2022-0345.
Safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of icatibant treatment in Japanese pediatric patients with hereditary angioedema: A phase 3, open‐label study

Published: June 2023

AbstractWe evaluated the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of subcutaneous weight‐adjusted icatibant for the treatment of acute hereditary angioedema attacks in Japanese pediatric patients. Two patients (aged 10–13 and 6–9 years) received icatibant for a total of four attacks. Each attack was abdominal and/or cutaneous and was treated with a single icatibant injection. Mild or moderate injection‐site reactions were the only adverse events reported. Time to onset of symptom relief was 0.9–1.0 h. Icatibant was rapidly absorbed, with a pharmacokinetic profile consistent with previous studies. Simulated exposure levels were consistent with non‐Japanese pediatric patients. These results support the safety and efficacy of icatibant in Japanese pediatric patients.

Abstract

Plant colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) is widespread and can offer considerable benefits in terms of growth, nutrient uptake and plant yield. However, it is still unresolved how different plant species and plant functional groups respond to AMF and to different AMF taxa.

Here we established 336 grassland microcosms to determine the response of 14 plant species displaying contrasting functional groups (grasses, legumes and non‐leguminous forbs) for the presence of three different AMF taxa. For each plant species, we calculated the degree to which plant growth depended on AMF colonization (i.e. mycorrhizal dependency [MD]). We also determined the degree to which each plant species relied on specific AMF taxa for optimal growth (i.e. mycorrhizal species sensitivity [MSS]). Additionally, we determined whether MD and MSS correlated to specific plant traits (i.e. specific root length [SRL], specific leaf area [SLA]).

The plant growth response to AMF ranged from −84.9% for a non‐mycorrhizal plant (Luzula campestris) to +94.0% for a legume (Trifolium arvensis). The MD was systematically higher in legumes (91.9% ± 2.4%), followed by non‐leguminous forbs (77.1% ± 11.06) and grasses (42.1% ± 15.73%). MSS was less variable (8.9%–37.7%); it was independent of plant functional group and did not correlate with MD. MD was linked to various mycorrhizal plant parameters, including AMF colonization (R2 = +0.80) and total dry biomass (R2 = +0.32). Moreover, among mycorrhizal plants (n = 12), MD negatively correlated with SRL (R2 = −0.24) and positively with SLA (R2 = +0.24).

Synthesis. This study shows that plants relying on AMF for biomass production also show higher root colonization, lower SRL, higher SLA and that different plant traits are interlinked with the way how plants respond to AMF. Overall, this study further demonstrates that different plant functional groups vary in their response to AMF.

Nutrient availability and grazing influence the strength of priority effects during freshwater bacterial community coalescence
Authors: Lumpi Theresa , Guo Xin , Lindström Eva S. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWhen bacterial communities mix, immigration history can fundamentally affect the community composition as a result of priority effects. Priority effects arise when an early immigrant exhausts resources and/or alters habitat conditions, thereby influencing the establishment success of the late arriver. The strength of priority effects is context‐dependent and expected to be stronger if environmental conditions favour the growth of the first arriver. In this study, we conducted a two‐factorial experiment testing the importance of nutrient availability and grazing on the strength of priority effects in complex aquatic bacterial communities. We did so by mixing two dissimilar communities, simultaneously, and with a 38 h time‐delay. Priority effects were measured as the invasion resistance of the first community to the invading second community. We found stronger priority effects in treatments with high nutrient availability and absence of grazing, but in general, the arrival timing was less important than the selection by nutrients and grazing. At the population level, the results were complex, but priority effects may have been driven by bacteria belonging to for example, the genera Rhodoferax and Herbaspirillum. Our study highlights the importance of arrival timing in complex bacterial communities, especially if environmental conditions favour rapid community growth.
The economics of drought: A review of impacts and costs
Authors: Fleming‐Muñoz David A. , Whitten Stuart , Bonnett Graham D. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAlthough a growing body of literature studies drought impacts, papers providing a comprehensive review of drought's social and economic impacts are scarce. This paper fills this gap by exploring the consequences of drought on societies based on research findings in Australia—a large country used to experiencing severe droughts. To do this, we propose a framework to categorise drought impacts in three dimensions: individuals/households (including health), productive sectors and system (including economic and ecosystem) impacts. The framework then guides a systematic literature review and discussion of studies looking at diverse drought impacts and their related costs. By analysing and discussing the findings from this literature, we emphasise different policy considerations, empirical challenges and research needs to support robust analysis and estimates of the true cost of droughts. We conclude by proposing an expanded framework to identify drought impacts and a discussion of the implications of the review for policy development.

Authors: Zhang Yuting , He Peng , He Lijie 
Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroductionThis study mainly discussed the relationship between body surface area (BSA) and treatment failure of peritoneal dialysis‐associated peritonitis (PDAP).MethodsThe exposures were BSA grouped by the tertiles of BSA levels. The association between BSA and the risk of treatment failure in PDAP, defined as the temporary or permanent switch to hemodialysis and kidney transplantation, was evaluated in Cox proportional hazards models.ResultsA total of 483 episodes in 285 patients were recorded in our center. As a three‐level categorical variable, in reference to G3, the G1 of BSA displayed a 4.054‐fold increased venture of treatment failure in a fully adjusted model. In sensitivity analysis, a lower value of BSA (G1) was identified as an independent risk factor for peritonitis episodes (odds ratio = 2.433, 95% confidence interval: 1.184–4.999, p = 0.015).ConclusionA lower level of body surface area was remarkably associated with a higher incidence of treatment failure among peritoneal dialysis‐associated peritonitis episodes.

AbstractIntroductionType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) occurs in genetically susceptible individuals due to certain environmental triggers causing destruction of insulin secreting beta cells. One of the environmental triggers studied recently in the pathogenesis and progression of T1DM is the role of gut microbiome.Objectives(1) To compare the gut microbiome profile of T1DM children with healthy age, gender, and body mass index (BMI) matched controls. (2) To assess the relationship of abundance of genera with glycemic control in children with T1DM.MethodsCross‐sectional, case–control study. Sixty‐eight children with T1DM and 61 age‐, gender‐, and BMI‐matched healthy controls were enrolled. QIAamp Fast DNA Stool Mini kit protocol and reagents were used for DNA isolation and Miseq sequencing platform for targeted gene sequencing.ResultsAlpha and beta diversity analysis showed no significant differences in the abundance of microbes between the groups. At phylum level, Firmicutes was the dominant phylum followed by Actinobacteria and Bacteroidota in both groups. Analysis of microbiome at the genera level showed that percentage abundance for Parasutterella was higher in children with T1DM as compared to the healthy group (p < .05). A linear regression analysis showed that increase in abundance of Haemophilus (adjusted R2 = −1.481 p < .007) was associated with a significant decrease in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) concentrations (p < .05).ConclusionOur comparative study of gut microbiome profile showed significant differences in the taxonomial composition between Indian children with T1DM and healthy controls. Short chain fatty acid producers may play an important role in glycemic control.image
Serum CDC42 is increased during tumor necrosis factor inhibitor treatment, and its elevation correlates with satisfactory treatment response in rheumatoid arthritis patients
Authors: Yang Yameng , Wu Bin , Tian Pengpeng , Huang Li 
Published: June 2023

AbstractAimOur previous study discovered that cell division control protein 42 (CDC42) correlated with decreased disease activity and risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), along with repressed T helper type 17 cell differentiation. This study aimed to further estimate the longitudinal change of serum CDC42 and its association with treatment outcomes to tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) in RA.MethodsCDC42 was detected in serum by ELISA at week (W)0, W6, W12, and W24 in 88 RA patients undergoing TNFi treatment, and after enrollment in 20 disease controls (DCs) and 20 healthy controls (HCs).ResultsCDC42 was lower in RA patients compared with DCs and HCs (both p < .001); meanwhile, it negatively related to C‐reactive protein (p = .011) and DAS28 score (p = .006). Regarding TNFi type, 40.9%, 33.0%, 17.0%, and 9.1% of patients received adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab, and infliximab, respectively. Notably, CDC42 was increased from W0 to W24 in RA patients receiving TNFi treatment (p < .001), also in patients receiving adalimumab (p < .001), etanercept (p < .001), golimumab (p < .001), and infliximab (p = .001). Furthermore, CDC42 at W24 was higher in patients with a clinical response to TNFi treatment compared with those without (p = .023); CDC42 at W12 (p = .027) and W24 (p = .002) was elevated in patients with clinical low disease activity in response to TNFi treatment versus those without; whereas CDC42 at W12 (p = .074) and W24 (p = .068) only showed an increasing trend in patients with clinical remission with TNFi treatment, but did not achieve statistical significance.ConclusionCirculating CDC42 is elevated during TNFi administration; its increase reflects good 24‐week TNFi treatment responses in RA patients.

AbstractAimsTo measure the effect of cognitive‐behavioral techniques (CBTs) on gambling disorder severity and gambling behavior at post‐treatment and follow‐up.MethodSeven databases and two clinical trial registries were searched to identify peer‐reviewed studies and unpublished studies of randomized controlled trials. The Cochrane Risk of Bias tool assessed risk of bias in the included studies. A random effect meta‐analysis with robust variance estimation was conducted to measure the effect of CBTs relative to minimally treated or no treatment control groups.ResultsTwenty‐nine studies representing 3991 participants were identified. CBTs significantly reduced gambling disorder severity (g = −1.14, 95% CI = −1.68, −0.60, 95% prediction interval [PI] = −2.97, 0.69), gambling frequency (g = −0.54, 95% CI = −0.80, −0.27, 95% PI = −1.48, 0.40) and gambling intensity (g = −0.32, 95% CI = −0.51, −0.13, 95% PI = −0.76, 0.12) at post‐treatment relative to control. CBTs had no significant effect on follow‐up outcomes. Analyses supported the presence of publication bias and high heterogeneity in effect size estimates.ConclusionsCognitive‐behavioral techniques are a promising treatment for reducing gambling disorder and gambling behavior; however, the effect of cognitive‐behavioral techniques on gambling disorder severity and gambling frequency and intensity at post‐treatment is overestimated, and cognitive‐behavioral techniques may not be reliably efficacious for all individuals seeking treatment for problem gambling and gambling disorder.
Do obese and nonobese consumers respond differently to price changes? Implications of preference heterogeneity for obesity‐oriented food taxes and subsidies

Published: June 2023

AbstractPreference heterogeneity in food demand has important health and equity implications for targeted and broad‐based taxes and subsidies intended to enhance diet quality and reduce obesity. We study the role of obesity in the purchases of food at home and food away from home using data from the nationally representative National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey. We develop a method for incorporating the complex survey design and retail scanner data into the estimation of a 21‐good Exact Affine Stone Index demand system with endogenous prices and truncated purchases. We find significant preference heterogeneity associated with the obesity status of household members. Counterfactual simulations find that (1) a sweetened beverage tax is effective in increasing the healthfulness of purchases by lower income obese consumers; (2) the nutritional benefits of a fruit and vegetable subsidy are concentrated on nonobese consumers with little improvement in obese consumers' Healthy Eating Index and an increase in their total calories purchased; and (3) a fiscally neutral healthy food subsidy fully funded by an unhealthy food tax benefits nonobese consumers both financially and nutritionally more than it does obese consumers. These findings show that lowering healthy food prices without raising the cost of unhealthy foods is unlikely to reduce obesity. Policymakers in favor of a systems approach of simultaneously taxing unhealthy foods and subsidizing healthy foods should be mindful of the distributional effects of this policy on obese consumers and the lower income population.
