AbstractBackgroundDeep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a dynamic process that can be followed up with Doppler ultrasound (DUS).AimsTo evaluate the role of certain factors that can influence the evolution of DVT.MethodsIn 121 DVT patients (mean age 58.19 ± 14.47 years; 30 with no venous thromboembolism (VTE) identifiable risk factors (RF), 31 with weak RF, 30 with moderate RF and 30 with strong RF), DUS was performed at admission and after 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 months. Favourable evolution was defined as complete resolution of thrombus, whereas unfavourable evolution was defined as incomplete resolution, thrombosis recurrence or post‐thrombotic syndrome.ResultsComplete thrombus resolution was found at 1 month (M1) in 24.8% of patients, at 6 months (M6) in 49.6% and at 24 months (M24) in 61.2% of patients. Favourable evolution was seen in younger patients at M1 and M3 (P = 0.004 and P = 0.045) and in cases with earlier treatment (P < 0.0001). In proximal DVT, the risk of non‐favourable evolution was higher (4.05 times at M3, 4.23 times at M6 and 4.29 times at M12). Patients with moderate RF had an earlier favourable evolution (40% at M1, 56.67% at M6 and 70% at M24), and patients with strong RF had the lowest rate of thrombus regression (20% at M1, 36.67% at M6 and 43.33% at M24).ConclusionsDVT evolution can last up to 24 months. Older age, strong VTE RF, proximal DVT localisation and late start of therapy constitute unfavourable evolutive prognosis. These cases need closer clinical and DUS monitoring to prevent complications.

Published: January 2022

AbstractPiezoelectric thin films were dip coat deposited onto flexible metal substrates to investigate the dependence of dielectric and ferroelectric properties on the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch and substrate thickness. The bending stiffness was controlled by the thickness of the substrate. Grazing incidence X‐ray diffraction displayed distinct peak splitting for [Pb0.98▪0.01(Zr0.52Ti0.48)Nb0.02O3] on flexible Pt, Ni, Ag, and stiff Ni substrates, where the out‐of‐plane d‐spacing and integrated peak area for c‐domains were highest with the largest film compressive stress. As expected, lead zirconate titanate (PZT) films on stiff Si were under tensile stress and contained more in‐plane domains. The dielectric permittivity was highest in PZT on stiff Si and lowest for PZT on thick Ni, while remanent polarization displayed the opposite trend, commensurate with the residual stress state as well as the resistance to bending in thick substrates as a strain‐relief mechanism. The irreversible Rayleigh coefficient decreased dramatically upon poling for PZT on flexible substrates compared to PZT on stiff substrates; the ratio was 56% higher in PZT on a flexible Ni substrate relative to a stiff Ni substrate at 100 Hz prior to electrical poling. This investigation distinguishes the impact of substrate flexibility from thermal expansion on ferroelectric domain mobility and provides dip‐coating conditions for high‐quality piezoelectric films on any substrate.
Teaching the ideas of others: Is there a problem?
Authors: Lipscomb Martin 
Published: January 2022

AbstractUniversity nurse educators do not always possess subject expertize in the non‐nursing disciplines from which the ideas they use in teaching are derived. This is potentially problematic. Subject expertize can be variously defined. Nonetheless, expertize is associated with education, and education is often assessed by processes culminating in accreditation. Nurse educators, however, do not hold first degrees in every subject they take ideas from (e.g. biology, ethics, pharmacology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, etc.), and in consequence ideas are brought to the attention of students studying for first and higher degrees by educators who lack accreditation at the level at which the ideas they use in teaching are taken. Disjunctures between accredited learning and teaching generate epistemological and other conundrums. Nevertheless, bluntly, absent subject expertize, educators risk talking nonsense when poorly understood ideas are presented to students.

Published: January 2022

AbstractIntroductionEnhancing and altering body contours has increasingly been the focus of new technologies and techniques in aesthetic treatments. The buttocks are seen as a symbol of beauty, sensuality, and attraction.Patients and methodsThe authors described a technique for female and male gluteal augmentation. It uses a special marking, a safe plan, and a specific product. The patients chosen for this technique wanted to have an augmentation or projection effect on the buttocks, but were not willing to undergo surgery. The product used was Sofiderm Subskin Aeskins. The plan of injection was the subcutaneous as no major blood vessels were found.ResultsThe authors report good aesthetic results with the proposed technique. The patients reported a high degree of satisfaction.DiscussionThe product chosen has a high G prime and a larger molecule size, which accounts for resistance to deformation and a high lifting power. Thus, result can be visible in a large body area. As the anatomy between male and female buttocks are different, different techniques were used for each gender.ConclusionThe LL body contour technique for gluteal augmentation proved to be a minimally invasive technique, with quick results, without major risks and downtime.

AbstractIntroductionNowadays, cosmetic surgery procedures have become quite popular. In this study, cosmetic surgery preferences and cause–effect relationships will be examined.MethodsIn our study, a sociodemographic data questionnaire prepared by the researcher, Acceptance of Cosmetic Surgery Scale (ACSS), and Body Image Quality of Life Inventory (BIQLI) were used. The surveys were conducted on random people over the age of 18, and approximately 511 people were reached.ResultsThe mean age of those included in the study was 39.18 ± 8.9 years, and 75.05% were female and 24.95% were male. It was concluded that there was a statistically significant, linear, same‐sided, and weak relationship between BIQLI scores and daily life sub‐dimension, although not between the age of the individuals and their ACSS scores. Female individuals' ACSS scores, interpersonal, social, and thoughts mean scores were significantly higher than male individuals. As the total scores of ACSS increase, the scores of interaction with partner also increase. It was observed that people mostly believed that cosmetic surgery would make them feel good and that they should definitely try it if it made them happy. The rate of not choosing was high because of the fear of side effects and financial concerns.ConclusionAlthough the individuals participating in our study gave themselves high satisfaction scores on subjects such as the joy of life, self‐confidence, social relations, and the need to appear attractive to partner, they had a positive view of cosmetic surgery procedures. It was seen that the feeling of dissatisfaction came to the fore among the reasons.
Cultural orientations and their influence on social behaviour: Catalysation and suppression
Authors: Tutić Andreas 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIt is argued that the model of frame selection as a specific version of the dual‐process perspective provides a clear theoretical conceptualisation of the mechanisms by which cultural orientations such as values, attitudes, and internalised norms influence social behaviour. In particular, the model of frame selection allows the derivation of two fundamental action‐theoretical principles. According to the principle of catalysation, situationally relevant cultural orientations have a greater impact on social behaviour, if the behaviour comes about in an intuitive rather than a reflective manner. The principle of suppression states that external factors of the objective situation, which lack salience with respect to situationally relevant cultural orientations, have a greater impact on reflective rather than intuitive behaviour. These two principles can be combined with the so‐called logic of mode selection to derive a multitude of empirically testable hypotheses regarding the question of how motivational factors such as thinking dispositions and feeling of rightness as well as cognitive resources such as time for reflection and availability of working memory moderate the influence of cultural orientations on behaviour.
Untangling the complexity of designing tools to support tangible and digital intercultural story telling in troubled times: a case in point

Published: January 2022

AbstractIn this paper, we present a descriptive case study of the Mobeybou materials, a kit of tangible and digital tools aimed at offering young children opportunities to read, create and share intercultural stories. The tools comprise a set of story apps that present interactive, multimodal and intercultural stories for children to make meanings with, a digital manipulative (DM) and a storyMaker (a digital replication of the DM) that offer the possibility for embodied, collaborative and creative construction of stories by the children themselves. After presenting the materials, we describe how they evolved as an interface of convergence of several complementary theories. By doing this, our major intention is to contribute to the understanding that the design of tools and technologies aimed at creating meaningful and inclusive opportunities for digital story telling in troubled times is a complex, demanding endeavour, but can also be a powerful tool to address the complexities of the troubled times we are living in.

AbstractHow individual organisms adapt to nonoptimal conditions through physiological acclimatization is central to predicting the consequences of unusual abiotic and biotic conditions such as those produced by marine heat waves. The Northeast Pacific, including the Gulf of Alaska, experienced an extreme warming event (2014–2016, “The Blob”) that affected all trophic levels and led to large‐scale changes in the community. The marine copepod Neocalanus flemingeri is a key member of the subarctic Pacific pelagic ecosystem. During the spring phytoplankton bloom this copepod builds substantial lipid stores as it prepares for its nonfeeding adult phase. A 3‐year comparison of gene expression profiles of copepods collected in Prince William Sound in the Gulf of Alaska between 2015 and 2017 included two high‐temperature years (2015 and 2016) and one year with very low phytoplankton abundances (2016). The largest differences in gene expression were between high and low chlorophyll years, and not between warm and cool years. The observed gene expression patterns were indicative of physiological acclimatization. The predominant signal in 2016 was the down‐regulation of genes involved in glycolysis and its incoming pathways, consistent with the modulation of metabolic rates in response to prolonged low food conditions. Despite the down‐regulation of genes involved in metabolism, there was no evidence of suppression of protein synthesis based on gene expression or behavioural activity. Genes involved in muscle function were up‐regulated, and the copepods were actively swimming and responsive to stimuli at collection. However, genes involved in fatty acid metabolism were down‐regulated in 2016, suggesting reduced lipid accumulation.

AbstractNon‐native (invasive) species offer a unique opportunity to study the geographical distribution and range limits of species, wherein the evolutionary change driven by interspecific interactions between native and non‐native closely related species is a key component. The red‐eared slider turtle, Trachemys scripta elegans (TSE), has been introduced and successfully established worldwide. It can coexist with its native congeners T. cataspila, T. venusta and T. taylori in Mexico. We performed comprehensive fieldwork, executed a battery of genetic analyses and applied a novel species distribution modelling approach to evaluate their historical lineage relationships and contemporary population genetic patterns. Our findings support the historical common ancestry between native TSE and non‐native (TSEalien), while also highlighting the genetic differentiation of the exotic lineage. Genetic patterns are associated with their range size/endemism gradient; the microendemic T. taylori showed significant reduced genetic diversity and high differentiation, whereas TSEalien showed the highest diversity and signals of population size expansion. Counter to our expectations, lower naturally occurring distribution overlap and little admixture patterns were found between TSE and its congeners, exhibiting reduced gene flow and clear genetic separation across neighbouring species despite having zones of contact. We demonstrate that these native Trachemys species have distinct climatic niche suitability, probably preventing establishment of and displacement by the TSEalien. Moreover, we found major niche overlap between TSEalien and native species worldwide, supporting our prediction that sites with closer ecological optima to the invasive species have higher establishment risk than those that are closer to the niche‐centre of the native species.
Post accidental injury: Mediating roles of emotional expressivity, rumination, and posttraumatic growth
Authors: Pan Yinzhu , Zhao Haifeng , Xu Huan , Huang Yingying , Dong Chaoqun 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis study explored the relationship between rumination (deliberate or intrusive), emotional expressivity (positive or negative), and posttraumatic growth among patients within 1 month after an accidental injury. Using a cross‐sectional design, 313 patients were investigated in two comprehensive hospitals. The results revealed that intrusive rumination had a significant positive effect on posttraumatic growth, partly through four different pathways: (i) the mediating role of deliberate rumination; (ii) the chain mediating role of deliberate rumination and negative emotional expressivity; (iii) the chain mediating role of negative emotional expressivity and positive emotional expressivity; and (iv) the chain mediating role of negative emotional expressivity, positive emotional expressivity, and deliberate rumination. Interventions to encourage emotional expressivity and facilitate the transition from intrusive rumination to deliberate rumination may promote posttraumatic growth soon after an accidental injury.

Summary

Root anatomical traits play crucial roles in understanding root functions and root form–function linkages. However, the root anatomy and form–function linkages of monocotyledonous and dicotyledonous herbs remain largely unknown.

We measured order‐based anatomical traits and mycorrhizal colonization rates of 32 perennial herbs of monocotyledons and dicotyledons in a temperate steppe.

For monocots, relative constant proportion of cortex and mycorrhizal colonization rates, but increased cell‐wall thickening of the endodermis and proportion of stele were observed across root orders, indicating a slight reduction in absorption capacity and improvement in transportation capacity across orders. For dicots, the cortex and mycorrhizal colonization disappeared in the fourth‐order and/or fifth‐order roots, whereas the secondary vascular tissue increased markedly, suggesting significant transition of root functions from absorption to transportation across root orders. The allometric relationships between stele and cortex differed across root orders and plant groups, suggesting different strategies to coordinate the absorption and transportation functions among plant groups.

In summary, our results revealed different functional transition patterns across root orders and distinct strategies for coordinating the absorption and transportation of root system between monocots and dicots. These findings will contribute to our understanding of the root form and functions in herbaceous species.
Attitudes and perceptions of caregivers regarding their presence at induction of anesthesia

Published: January 2022

AbstractBackgroundCaregiver presence at their children's induction of anesthesia is practiced daily around the world. Research exploring the attitudes and perceptions of caregivers regarding this practice is limited within the African context.AimsThe aim of this study was to describe caregivers' attitudes and perceptions regarding their presence at induction of their children's anesthesia.MethodsThis descriptive, phenomenological, qualitative study was conducted in 2020 at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, a 3200‐bed facility in South Africa. Twenty caregivers of children (2 to 8 years) undergoing elective surgery were recruited. Data were collected through face‐to‐face, in‐depth, semistructured individual interviews using convenience sampling. Interviews ranged between 11 and 55 minutes in duration and were conducted within 24 hours of induction of anesthesia. The audio‐recorded interviews were transcribed and subjected to inductive reflexive thematic analysis.ResultsSix themes were developed: Fulfillment of caregiver role, A positive experience, A traumatic experience, Not prepared for the experience, My world is my reality, and Your world is a place different to mine.ConclusionA caregiver's perception of the induction process is influenced by multiple factors. A finding specific to our cohort is the interplay between complex multifaceted cultural beliefs and anesthesia of their children. By acknowledging and addressing these beliefs, a caregiver's presence can be tailored to ensure a positive experience for all involved at induction.
Design of Covid‐19 testing queues
Authors: Yang Luyi , Cui Shiliang , Wang Zhongbin 
Published: January 2022

In the event of a virus outbreak such as Covid‐19, testing is key. However, long waiting lines at testing facilities often discourage individuals from getting tested. This paper utilizes queueing‐game‐theoretic models to study how testing facilities should set scheduling and pricing policies to incentivize individuals to test, with the goal to identify the most cases of infection. Our findings are as follows. First, under the first‐in‐first‐out discipline (FIFO), the common practice of making testing free attracts the most testees but may not catch the most cases. Charging a testing fee may surprisingly increase case detection. Second, even though people who show symptoms are more likely to carry the virus, prioritizing these individuals over asymptomatic ones (another common practice) may let more cases go undetected than FIFO testing does. Third, we characterize the optimal scheduling and pricing policy. To maximize case detection, testing can be made free but one should also (partially) prioritize individuals with symptoms when testing demand is high and switch to (partially) prioritize the asymptomatic when testing demand is moderately low.
Intersectionality and Social Welfare: Avoidance and Unequal Treatment among Transgender Women of Color
Authors: Butz Adam M. , Gaynor Tia Sherèe 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThis research adds to the emergent literature on intersectionality and public administration through examining how transgender women of color (trans WOC) are interacting with U.S. social welfare offices. It is our contention that trans WOC, facing a compounded set of negative stereotypes derived from racial and gender identities, will be more likely than other transgender identifying persons to: (1) avoid seeking out public welfare benefits and (2) be more likely to report experiencing discriminatory treatment in social welfare offices. Using data from the 2015 U.S. Transgender Survey we uncover evidence that trans WOC are more likely to avoid social welfare offices and face discrimination in social welfare offices. Scholars and administrators of social welfare programs, including Social Security related benefits, should be aware of the potential for public benefit avoidance and administrative discrimination directed toward historically marginalized groups and prioritize social equity considerations among clients facing compounded intersectional barriers.

AbstractAquaculture industry is one of the major food‐producing sectors in the world that provide nutritional food security for mankind. Fish and crustacean farmers are facing various challenges in treating the rapid spread of infectious diseases in recent times. Numerous strategies, including antibiotics, disinfectants, and other antimicrobial agents, have been applied to protect the cultivable aquatic animals from infectious diseases. These applications lead to the development of antimicrobial resistance, toxicity, and the accumulation of antibiotic residues in cells and organelles of the cultivable edible organisms and the environment. The use of naturally derived compounds, polysaccharides, and functional metabolites has gained immense attention among aquaculturists. Mushrooms and their nutraceutical components have been widely used in various sectors, including food, pharmaceutical, poultry, and aquaculture industries, for their non‐toxic and eco‐friendly properties. To date, there are several reports available on edible and medicinal mushrooms as a dietary ingredient for fish and decapod crustacean culture. The mushroom products such as mycelia, stalk, dry powder, polysaccharides, and extracts have been utilized in aquaculture as growth promoters and immunostimulants, improving the digestive enzyme activity, antimicrobials, and improving the health status of cultivable aquatic animals. This present review elucidates the effectiveness of mushrooms and mushroom‐derived compounds as prebiotics in aquaculture. The challenges and future perspectives of mushroom‐derived bioactive molecules have been discussed in this review.
