On Retroactive Instrumentality
Authors: Mendel Maria 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe topic of instrumentalism has engaged many scholars of contemporary educational thought. One can distinguish the positions of anti‐instrumentalism from those that stress noninstrumental values of education, both conceived in the context of neoliberal/neoconservative and consumption‐driven reality. In this text, Maria Mendel enters into this engagement from the perspective of the current political consumption of memory. While taking up the problem of the role public pedagogy plays in contemporary nation‐states — especially in the current turn toward the past — Mendel focuses on both educational and sociopolitical issues in the context of what she calls “retroactive instrumentalism.” When return to the past is the “principle of the contemporary,” she argues, instrumentalism does not necessarily result from intentional planning ex ante. If education is broadly understood as a practice of public space formation, it may be composed of experiences that do not have to be “traditionally” purposeful and oriented toward the future. They may gain their instrumental character ex post. To illustrate this possibility, Mendel analyzes snippets of Polish reality concerning the construction of “the good nation.” Many of the elements of public pedagogy in this case contain unifications that pertain directly to the instrumental character of the learning experiences employed by a society as it transforms into a nation. The instrumentalism of those elements is discovered post factum. In its ontological dimension, then, education may gain or solidify its instrumental character ex post. Based on the analysis proposed in this text, one could say that when instrumentality is retroactive, it becomes displaced intentionality — that is, it provides an instrumental story that disguises the intentions of the one writing the narrative. Mendel concludes by using the Aristotelian notion of phantasia, which regards “being without a matter,” to encourage productive thought about how to create public narratives that are free of instrumentalism. This grounds a version of public pedagogy that is oriented toward the animation of people's active imagining and thus becoming public. By epistemologically shifting learning into a public space, such public pedagogy serves to recultivate society and humanity as plurality, diversity, and coproduction of the public.

SummaryBackgroundThe mean proportion of Strongyloides westeri (S. westeri) infected foals on Thoroughbred breeding farms in central Kentucky has been reported as 30%. The prevalence of S. westeri in Ireland and the effect of peripartum ivermectin treatment of the dam are unknown.ObjectivesThe objectives of the study were to determine the proportion of foals infected and the prevalence of positive S. westeri faecal egg count (FEC) tests within defined age groups on a Thoroughbred breeding farm in Ireland between 2014 and 2019 inclusive and, furthermore, to identify risk factors for infection and the effect of peripartum ivermectin treatment. We hypothesised no significant difference in S. westeri infection in progeny <365 days of age, where the dam received peripartum ivermectin treatment between 30 days pre‐ and 7 days post‐foaling, versus no treatment.Study designRetrospective observational cohort.MethodsFarm records of 1420 FECs for 459 foals were reviewed. Positive test prevalence and proportion of foals infected were determined using days between birth and each FEC result, up to 365 days. A mixed effects logistic regression model was constructed to examine the association between date of sample collection, year, age at sampling, peripartum dam ivermectin treatment and S. westeri patent infection in progeny <365 days of age.ResultsTest prevalence and proportion of foals infected increased from 0.09 to 0.43 and 0.17 to 0.52, respectively. The risk of positive S. westeri infection was linearly and positively associated with day of the year (OR = 1.75; 95% CI: 1.14, 2.7; p = 0.01) and negatively associated with age (OR = 0.37; 95% CI: 0.23, 0.59; p = <0.001). Peripartum ivermectin treatment was associated with reduced S. westeri infection in progeny <365 days of age (OR = 0.24; 95% CI: 0.07, 0.79; p = 0.02).Main limitationsFaecal egg counts performed by trained lay personnel. Dynamic population.ConclusionsIncreasing prevalence of S. westeri infection may reflect cumulative environmental contamination.

Published: November 2022

AbstractInternet‐based information exchange has resulted in the propagation of false and misleading information, which is highly detrimental to individuals and humankind. Due to the speed and volume of social media news production, supervised artificial intelligence algorithms require many annotated data, which is difficult, costly, and time‐consuming. To address this issue, we offer a novel federated semi‐supervised framework based on self‐ensembling that utilizes the linguistic and stylometric information of annotated news articles and searches for hidden patterns in unlabeled data to denoise labels. Self‐ensembling predicts the labels of unlabeled data by using the outcomes of network‐in‐training from earlier epochs. These cumulative predictions should be a stronger predictor for unknown labels than the output of the most recent training epoch; hence, they may be utilized as a substitute for the labels of unlabeled data. The approach is distinctive in collecting all of the outputs from the neural network's past training periods. It utilizes them as an unsupervised target against which to assess the current output prediction of unlabeled articles. We intend to create a dataset centred on denoising to forward the study. The dataset is mapped using (1) the shifting focus time from published news articles and (2) the semi‐supervised method based on coincidence contexts for a neural contrast embedding model for learning low‐dimensional continuous vectors that generate a focus time‐based query in sequential news articles for temporal comprehension. The model achieved 0.83% F‐measure with lexicon expansion semi‐supervised learning.

Published: November 2022

AbstractDetermining the effect of perennial energy crop (PEC) cultivation on soil organic carbon (SOC) in marginal land soil is vital for carbon neutrality and bioeconomy development. However, a comprehensive and systematic evaluation of the response of SOC content to different PECs and its underlying drivers is still lacking. We used soil data collected from infertile red topsoil (0–20 cm) after 10 years of cultivation with Miscanthus (MS), Panicum virgatum (SG), and Saccharum arundinaceum (SA) to explore the changes in SOC stock induced by PEC. The roles of physical, chemical, and microbiological factors driving the increase in the SOC stock were investigated. Results revealed that SA and MS enhanced SOC stock by 87.97% and 27.52% relative to the uncultivated control. Conversely, PEC increased the percentage of soil mega‐aggregates, geometric mean diameters, soil chelate iron (Fe), and aluminum (Al) oxides, and reduced soil acidity for the infertile red soils. In addition, fungal richness and diversity for PEC soils were enhanced compared to the unplanted soil. It is possible that PEC cultivation reduced the relative abundance of copiotrophic fungi but increased the relative abundance of oligotrophic fungi. Furthermore, variance partitioning analysis revealed that chemical and microbiological factors accounted for 80.54% of the total variation for the SOC stock. The partial least squares path model showed that PEC cultivation enhanced soil carbon (C) stock via soil deacidification and increased soil bacterial function. In conclusion, this study confirms the SOC sequestration potential of PEC cultivation in marginal land and the underlying mechanism driving SOC stock. The main positive factors controlling soil C sequestration included “pH,” while the negative factors were “bacterial community,” “fungal community,” and “bacterial function.” Our research may help encourage and support decision‐makers of wasted marginal land conversion to PEC cultivation.

Published: November 2022

SummaryFood factory design (FFD) affects production costs, production safety and food quality. Moreover, as consumer demand, product planning, policies and legislation, raw material supplies, manufacturing philosophies and environmental consciousness change, FFD should also change. In this study, we used bibliometric analysis to examine articles on a wide range of topics related to FFD published in Web of Science from 2012 to 2022. We used collaborative network analysis, co‐occurrence analysis, cluster analysis, timeline mapping and term burst detection to achieve the following objectives: (i) summarising the annual changes in the number of publications; (ii) detecting influential countries and institutions, major research areas, context and history and representative studies at different times; and (iii) identifying frontiers and forecasting development trends in terms of factory construction and new production modes, new processes and product manufacturing technology, optimisation of production systems and processes, intelligent manufacturing, environmental protection and sustainable development. The findings of this study provide an effective means of assessing the performance of FFD research. They also help enterprises and researchers to identify important trends in FFD and provide support for decision‐making and policy formulation, and future directions for research and teaching activities.

AbstractAimTo examine the interaction between sleep and social determinants of health (SDOH) [race/ethnicity and socioeconomic status (SES)] on overweight/obesity in adolescents.DesignCross‐sectional.MethodsWe conducted a secondary analysis using the 2017–2018 National Survey of Children's Health data. We included adolescents (10–17 years old) who had sleep and body mass index (BMI) data available (n = 24,337) in analyses (samples with BMI <5th percentile excluded). Parents reported children's sleep duration and regularity. High BMI (≥85th percentile) for age defines overweight/obesity. We selected SDOH (race/ethnicity, family income, primary caregiver education and neighbourhood condition) and covariates (age, sex, smoking, exercise and depression) using a hierarchical model‐building approach. Accounting for complex survey design, logistic regression estimated the interaction between sleep and SDOH.ResultsThere were significant interactions between sleep duration and SDOH. The association between increasing sleep and decreasing odds of overweight/obesity only showed in the following subgroups: White, family income ≥400% federal poverty level (FPL) or primary caregiver' education ≥ high school. Compared with these subgroups, Hispanic adolescents and adolescents whose family income was below 100% FPL and whose caregiver education was below high school had weakened and reversed associations. Sleep regularity was not associated with overweight/obesity.ConclusionsIncreasing sleep duration was associated with a decreased risk of overweight/obesity, but the association was not present in adolescents from racial/ethnic minority groups (i.e. Hispanic) and those with low SES.ImpactThe study findings suggest that associations between sleep and overweight/obesity vary by race and SES. Identification of additional mechanisms for obesity is needed for racial/ethnic minority groups and those from families with low SES. Also, the complexity of these relationships underscores the importance of community‐based needs assessment in the design of targeted and meaningful interventions to address complex health conditions such as poor sleep and obesity.

Published: November 2022

AbstractAimTo describe current practice, examine the influences and explore barriers and facilitators to accurate documentation, for the administration of intravenous fluids during labour.DesignA descriptive qualitative study was performed.MethodsQualitative semi‐structured interviews were conducted with Registered Midwives working across Australia. Midwives were recruited via email and social media advertisements. A maximum variation sampling strategy was used to identify potential participants. Interview questions explored four main areas: (i) understanding of indications for IV fluids in labour; (ii) identification of current practice; (iii) barriers to documentation and (iv) benefits and complications of IV fluid administration. Reflexive thematic analysis of recorded‐transcribed interviews was conducted.ResultsEleven midwives were interviewed. Clinical practice variation across Australia was recognized. Midwives reported a potential risk of harm for women and babies and a current lack of evidence, education and clinical guidance contributing to uncertainty around the use of IV fluids in labour. Overall, eight major themes were identified: (i) A variable clinical practice; (ii) Triggers and habits; (iii) Workplace and professional culture; (iv) Foundational knowledge; (v) Perception of risk; (vi) Professional standards and regulations; (vii) The importance of monitoring maternal fluid balance and (viii) barriers and facilitators to fluid balance documentation.ConclusionThere was widespread clinical variation identified and midwives reported a potential risk of harm. The major themes identified will inform future quantitative research examining the impact of IV fluids in labour.ImpactThe implications of this research are important and potentially far‐reaching. The administration of IV fluids to women in labour is a common clinical intervention. However, there is limited evidence available to guide practice. This study highlights the need for greater education and evidence examining maternal and neonatal outcomes to provide improved clinical guidance.

AbstractAimsThe objective of this study was to examine whether the level of iron and iron supplements in the first‐trimester pregnancy is associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).MethodsThis was a nested case–control study using data from an established cohort in the Hunan Provincial Maternal and Child Health Hospital (HPMCHH) in South China. A total of 119 patients with GDM and 238 controls were enrolled in the study. Iron status indicators were tested in early pregnancy. Information on iron supplements use was collected by questionnaires. Binary logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratio (OR). The relative excess risk of interaction (RERI) was applied to evaluate the interaction.ResultsWe observed that pregnant women with normal ferritin levels (≥30 ng/ml) and iron supplements were associated with a 3.701‐fold increased risk of GDM (OR: 3.701, 95% CI: 1.689–8.112) compared with the ferritin <30 ng/ml and without iron supplements group. Similarly, pregnant women with normal serum iron (SI) levels (≥9 μmol/L) and iron supplements were associated with a 5.447‐fold increased risk of GDM (OR: 5.447, 95% CI: 2.246–13.209) compared with the SI < 9 μmol/L and without iron supplement group. We found an additive interaction between ferritin and iron supplements on the presence of GDM (RERI: 1.164, 95%CI: 0.333–1.994) and SI and iron supplements on the risk of GDM (RERI: 6.375, 95%CI: 4.494–8.256).ConclusionPregnant women with normal ferritin or SI levels and iron supplements could significantly increase the risks for GDM.

AbstractBackground and PurposeConventional MRI measures of multiple sclerosis (MS) disease severity, such as lesion volume and brain atrophy, do not provide information about microstructural tissue changes, which may be driving physical and cognitive progression. Myelin damage in normal‐appearing white matter (NAWM) is likely an important contributor to MS disability. Myelin water fraction (MWF) provides quantitative measurements of myelin. Mean MWF reflects average myelin content, while MWF standard deviation (SD) describes variation in myelin within regions. The myelin heterogeneity index (MHI = SD/mean MWF) is a composite metric of myelin content and myelin variability. We investigated how mean MWF, SD, and MHI compare in differentiating MS from controls and their associations with physical and cognitive disability.MethodsMyelin water imaging data were acquired from 91 MS participants and 31 healthy controls (HC). Segmented whole‐brain NAWM and corpus callosum (CC) NAWM, mean MWF, SD, and MHI were compared between groups. Associations of mean MWF, SD, and MHI with Expanded Disability Status Scale and Symbol Digit Modalities Test were assessed.ResultsNAWM and CC MHI had the highest area under the curve: .78 (95% confidence interval [CI]: .69, .86) and .84 (95% CI: .76, .91), respectively, distinguishing MS from HC.ConclusionsMean MWF, SD, and MHI provide complementary information when assessing regional and global NAWM abnormalities in MS and associations with clinical outcome measures. Examining all three metrics (mean MWF, SD, and MHI) enables a more detailed interpretation of results, depending on whether regions of interest include areas that are more heterogeneous, earlier in the demyelination process, or uniformly injured.
Soluble E‐cadherin promotes invasiveness of neoplastic cells in salivary gland carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundSoluble E‐cadherin (sEcad), a tumor suppressor gene, has pro‐oncogenic effects by binding to human epithelial growth factor receptor 2 (HER‐2). In our previous study, 1/3 of carcinoma ex pleomorphic adenoma (CXPA) cases had HER‐2 amplification, which is associated with tumorigenesis and malignancy. This study examines the role of sEcad in HER‐2 amplified CXPA.MethodsImmunohistochemistry was used to examine E‐cadherin (Ecad) expression in HER‐2‐amplified CXPA samples (n = 35). Western blot and ELISA were used to detect sEcad in two samples with Ecad and HER‐2 overexpression and CXPA cell line. Lentivirus‐mediated transfection was performed to knock down sEcad in CXPA cells. The cell proliferation, wound healing, and transwell assays were used to compare sEcad‐knockdown cells with cells pretreated with recombinant human sEcad (rhEcad/Fc). sEcad and HER‐2 interaction was determined through co‐immunoprecipitation. RNA‐sequencing, differential expression analysis, GO and KEGG analysis were used to identify sEcad‐related signaling pathways and their protein phosphorylation levels were verified by western blotting.ResultsEcad was overexpressed in 77.1% of HER‐2‐positive CXPA, and sEcad was found in the CXPA cell line and two samples. sEcad promoted CXPA migration and invasion in vitro without sEcad and HER‐2 interaction. sEcad‐related differentially expressed genes were enriched in the IL‐17, cAMP, and MAPK signaling pathways. Furthermore, sEcad activated the phosphorylation of Akt and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways.ConclusionsMost HER‐2+ CXPAs express Ecad. sEcad could affect the invasiveness and migration of in vitro CXPA cells without HER‐2. sEcad may be a therapeutic biomarker for CXPA patients.

AbstractBackgroundGuidelines advocate for minimization of physical restraint (PR) use in intensive care units (ICU). Interprofessional team perspectives on PR practices can inform the design and implementation of successful PR minimization interventions.AimTo identify ICU staff perspectives of contextual influences on PR practices and minimization strategies.Study DesignA qualitative descriptive study in a single ICU in Toronto, Canada. One‐on‐one semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 14 ICU staff. A deductive content analysis of interviews was undertaken using the integrated–Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services (i‐PARIHS) framework.ResultsFive themes were developed: risk‐averse culture, leadership, practice monitoring and feedback processes, environmental factors, and facilitation. Participants described a risk‐averse culture where prophylactic application of PR for intubated patients was used to prevent unplanned extubation thereby avoiding blame from colleagues. Perceived absence of leadership and interprofessional team involvement situated nurses as the primary decision‐maker for restraint application and removal. Insufficient monitoring of restraint practices, lack of access to restraint alternatives, and inability to control environmental contributors to delirium and agitation further increased PR use. Recommendations as to how to minimize restraint use included a nurse facilitator to advance leadership‐team collaboration, availability of restraints alternatives, and guidance on situations for applying and removing restraints.ConclusionsThis analysis of contextual influences on PR practices and minimization using the i‐PARIHS framework revealed potentially modifiable barriers to successful PR minimization, including a lack of leadership involvement, gaps in practice monitoring, and collaborative decision‐making processes. A team approach to changing behaviour and culture should be considered for successful implementation and sustainability of PR minimization.Relevance to PracticeThe establishment of an interprofessional facilitation team that addresses risk‐averse culture and promotes collaboration among ICU stakeholders will be crucial to the success of any approach to restraint minimization.
