Published: December 2022

Abstract
Environmental stressors and changes in land use have led to rapid and dramatic species losses and a reduction in associated ecosystem services.
Functional diversity has increasingly been suggested as an alternative for evaluating anthropogenic disturbances and restoration programs because it reflects different aspects of the relationship between biological diversity, ecosystem functioning and environmental constraints.
Ants are important components of terrestrial food webs and a key group associated with diverse interactions and ecosystem processes.
Additionally, their sensitiveness and rapid response to environmental changes pave the way for their use as informative metrics for monitoring several processes that threaten biodiversity and ecosystem services.
Consequently, ants' functional diversity might be considered leading edge indicators to assess ecosystem changes to ongoing anthropogenic disturbances.
The purpose of this study was to gauge the usefulness of epigaeic and leaf‐litter ants' functional responses towards measuring ecosystem degradation (and/or restoration) in the Brazilian Amazon.
Our results demonstrate that functional traits exhibited sensitivity to ongoing changes, as well as different responses to specific environmental disturbances.
Communities supporting ants with specialised functional traits associated with pristine ecosystems suffered high species loss and were correlated with specific anthropogenic stressors.
The results obtained pinpoint the importance of pristine ecosystems for conserving unique functional attributes and biodiversity in neotropical forest landscapes.
We highlight the significance of further studies in this scope to guide environmental managers and practitioners in applying the best policies for integrated neotropical landscapes conservation, considering the competing interests of farmers, foresters and conservationists, but also the unpredictable effects of local and regional environmental changes.

AbstractObjectiveInterictal spikes help localize seizure generators as part of surgical planning for drug‐resistant epilepsy. However, there are often multiple spike populations whose frequencies change over time, influenced by brain state. Understanding state changes in spike rates will improve our ability to use spikes for surgical planning. Our goal was to determine the effect of sleep and seizures on interictal spikes, and to use sleep and seizure‐related changes in spikes to localize the seizure‐onset zone (SOZ).MethodsWe performed a retrospective analysis of intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) data from patients with focal epilepsy. We automatically detected interictal spikes and we classified different time periods as awake or asleep based on the ratio of alpha to delta power, with a secondary analysis using the recently published SleepSEEG algorithm. We analyzed spike rates surrounding sleep and seizures. We developed a model to localize the SOZ using state‐dependent spike rates.ResultsWe analyzed data from 101 patients (54 women, age range 16–69). The normalized alpha‐delta power ratio accurately classified wake from sleep periods (area under the curve = .90). Spikes were more frequent in sleep than wakefulness and in the post‐ictal compared to the pre‐ictal state. Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy had a greater wake‐to‐sleep and pre‐ to post‐ictal spike rate increase compared to patients with extra‐temporal epilepsy. A machine‐learning classifier incorporating state‐dependent spike rates accurately identified the SOZ (area under the curve = .83). Spike rates tended to be higher and better localize the seizure‐onset zone in non–rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep than in wake or REM sleep.SignificanceThe change in spike rates surrounding sleep and seizures differs between temporal and extra‐temporal lobe epilepsy. Spikes are more frequent and better localize the SOZ in sleep, particularly in NREM sleep. Quantitative analysis of spikes may provide useful ancillary data to localize the SOZ and improve surgical planning.
A multidimensional measure of father involvement following parental separation
Authors: Larouche Karl , Pierce Tamarha , Drapeau Sylvie , Saint‐Jacques Marie‐Christine 
Published: December 2022

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this study is to partially validate the Father's Relative Involvement Postseparation scale (FRIPS).BackgroundSeparated fathers have time and accessibility constraints to their children. To date, models and measures used to study separated fathers' parental involvement have often focused on the amount of time they spend with their child, not considering how they are involved. Pleck's (2010) model of father involvement and the “Who does what” measure type may be relevant in this regard.MethodThis study is based on a representative sample of 656 fathers living in Quebec, Canada, who separated between 2016 and 2018 and who have at least one child under 14 years of age.ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis showed that a second‐order model, including positive involvement activities, indirect care, and decision‐making factors, fits the data well. Convergent and divergent validity is demonstrated with custody time, father–child relationship quality and the father's perceived parental competence. Multigroup analysis showed that the FRIPS scale can be used with confidence regardless of the child's gender and age.ConclusionThe FRIPS is valid for assessing separated fathers' involvement.ImplicationsThis measure can be used to assess separated fathers' involvement, inclusive of nonresident, shared, and sole custody fathers.
Who needs Daddy Warbucks: The Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program should apply to children of those who surrender their parental rights
Authors: Herman Thomas 
Published: December 2022

AbstractFamilies who find themselves in the middle of child protective proceedings have three possible outcomes: (1) the family can reunify; (2) parents voluntarily surrender their parental rights; or (3) the parents have their rights terminated. While it seems we should support children in the second and third scenarios equally, having funding sources such as the Kinship Guardianship Assistance Program (KinGAP) only available to children of parents whose rights are terminated, does the opposite. This Note proposes amending the eligibility requirements of KinGAP to include children of parents who surrender their parental rights which would encourage positive safe placements for children.
‘Contestation, negotiation, and resolution’: The relationship between power and collective leadership
Authors: Foldy Erica Gabrielle , Ospina Sonia M. 
Published: December 2022

AbstractThe relationship between power and collective leadership (CL) has been theoretically understood and empirically addressed in many different ways. To make sense of this diversity, we investigate and diagram the role of power in CL. First, we identify six representations of power—six ways in which scholars have found that power shapes the emergence and enactment of CL. These representations include: Even in CL, individual power matters; Leaders can devolve power to their subordinates by empowering them; Contextual characteristics related to power can influence the possibility and enactment of CL; CL can create the collective power necessary for people in marginalized positions to challenge embedded power dynamics; Power is intrinsic to the co‐construction process; Attributions affect who can enact CL, how they are viewed, and whether they have power. Second, we offer a conceptual framework that provides a comprehensive way to understand the relationship between power and CL. The framework includes two dimensions, one related to power (that runs from episodic to systemic) and the other related to CL (that runs from entitative to emergent). Third, we create a conceptual map by placing the six representations within this framework. Based on our research, we make the case that we cannot understand CL without understanding the ubiquitous, complex, and even contradictory role of power. We also suggest avenues for expanding and elaborating discussions of power in the CL literature.
A meta‐analysis examined the effect of oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing on the management of chronic skin wounds

Published: December 2022

AbstractTo assess the impact of oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing on the management of chronic skin wounds, we conducted a meta‐analysis. A thorough review of the literature up to September 2022 revealed that 1521 participants had chronic skin wounds at the start of the investigations; 763 of them used oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing, while 758 received control. Using dichotomous or contentious methods and a random or fixed‐effect model, odds ratios (OR) and mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to evaluate the impact of oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing on the management of chronic skin wounds. The oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing had significantly higher complete wound healing (OR, 1.74; 95% CI, 1.06–2.85; P = .03), higher wound relative reduction percent (MD, 13.50; 95% CI, 2.39–24.61; P = .02), and lower adverse events in wound healing (OR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.41–0.98; P = .04) compared with control in chronic skin wounds. The oxidised regenerated cellulose/collagen dressing had significantly higher complete wound healing, higher wound relative reduction percent and lower adverse events in wound healing compared with control in chronic skin wounds. The low sample size of 8 out of 10 researches in the meta‐analysis and the small number of studies in several comparisons calls for care when analysing the results.
Protecting Infants from Sudden Unexpected Infant Death: Guidelines for Interventions during the Perinatal Period from the French National College of Midwives
Authors: Weiss Stephanie 
Published: December 2022

AbstractWith 300–400 annual deaths in France, sudden unexpected infant death (SUID) is the leading cause of mortality in France among infants from the end of their first through their 12th month of life. These clinical practice guidelines aim to identify strategies for (future) parents to prevent avoidable SUIDs. They are based on a narrative literature review and an analysis of the existing reports and guidelines available on the topic in 2019–2020. In summary, it is recommended that parents ensure that their infants sleep on their back on a firm, empty surface in a sufficiently ventilated environment, share the parental bedroom, and be breastfed and vaccinated. All of these actions create protective factors against SUID. Conversely, parents should know that several factors increase the risk of SUID: unsafe sleep, maternal smoking, passive smoking after birth, exposure to alcohol or other psychoactive substances, and excessive heat.Precis: Sudden Unexpected Infant Death prevention includes infants being breastfed and vaccinated, sleeping on their back, on a firm, empty surface, near parents, and that they are not overheated.
Relational foundations of an unequal consumer credit market: Symbiotic ties between banks and payday lenders
Authors: Bea Megan Doherty 
Published: December 2022

AbstractBanks have financially supported payday lenders for decades. In this article I qualitatively demonstrate how these financial relationships have reinforced and expanded a bifurcated consumer credit market, and why these relationships matter for consumer access to financial services. I use archival financial documents from publicly traded payday lending companies between 1996 and 2014, available through the Securities and Exchange Commission, to construct the bank‐payday lender network and reveal motivations for these financial relationships. I find that bank‐payday lender relationships are sustained over many years, and that these relationships are mutually beneficial, enabling payday lender expansion and providing a way for banks to quietly profit from high‐interest lending in the face of other regulatory constraints. Further, I show that these relationships have significantly reshaped the consumer credit market over the past two decades. I conclude by considering broader implications of symbiotic institutional relationships in contemporary markets.
RAD sequencing, morphometry and synecology clarify the taxonomy of the Melica ciliata (Poaceae) complex in France and Poland

Published: December 2022

AbstractMelica (Poaceae) consist of about 92 species distributed across temperate regions of the world. Within section Dalycum, Melica ciliata sensu lato forms a taxonomic complex of several species and subspecies with clinal morphological variation causing conflicting identifications. To resolve taxonomic confusion, we used three complementary approaches, through molecular, morphological, and phytoecological analyses. The double‐digest restriction‐associated DNA markers significantly support the monophyly of three taxa: (i) the Mediterranean Melica magnolii, (ii) the Eurasian Melica transsilvanica subsp. transsilvanica, and (iii) the west‐European M. ciliata subsp. glauca. This differentiation is corroborated by the analysis of 22 morphometric variables. Furthermore, phytoecological analysis of 221 floristic inventories revealed habitat distinctions among these taxa. Our approach of integrative taxonomy argues for a specific distinction for these three taxa, and we include a key to separate these forms. These new molecular data on the section Dalycum, subsection Ciliatae, call for further phylogenetic analyses including samples of M. ciliata subsp. ciliata and other East‐Mediterranean and South African taxa.

SummaryObstructive sleep apnea (OSA)‐related intermittent hypoxaemia is a potential risk factor for different OSA comorbidities, for example cardiovascular disease. However, conflicting results are found as to whether intermittent hypoxaemia is associated with impaired vigilance. Therefore, we aimed to investigate how desaturation characteristics differ between the non‐impaired vigilance and impaired vigilance patient groups formed based on psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) performance and compared with traditional OSA severity parameters. The study population comprised 863 patients with suspected OSA who underwent a PVT test before polysomnography. The conventional OSA parameters, for example, the apnea‐hypopnea index, oxygen desaturation index, and arousal index were computed. Furthermore, the median desaturation area, fall area, recovery area, and desaturation depth were computed with the pre‐event baseline reference and with reference to the 100% oxygen saturation level. Patients were grouped into best‐ and worst‐performing quartiles based on the number of lapses in PVT (Q1: PVT lapses <5 and Q4: PVT lapses >36). The association between parameters and impaired vigilance was evaluated by cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) and binomial logistic regression. Based on the CDFs, patients in Q4 had larger desaturation areas, recovery areas, and deeper desaturations when these were referenced to 100% saturation compared with Q1. The odds ratio (OR) of the median desaturation area (OR = 1.56), recovery area (OR = 1.71), and depth (OR = 1.65) were significantly elevated in Q4 in regression models. However, conventional OSA parameters were not significantly associated with impaired vigilance (ORs: 0.79–1.09). Considering desaturation parameters with a 100% SpO2 reference in the diagnosis of OSA could provide additional information on the severity of OSA and related daytime vigilance impairment.
By the Old Gods and the New: The Effect of the Congruence and Incongruence of Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety and Enjoyment on Self‐Perceived Proficiency
Authors: BOTES ELOUISE , DEWAELE JEAN–MARC , GREIFF SAMUEL 
Published: December 2022

AbstractEmotions in foreign language (FL) learning have become an increasingly popular research avenue in applied linguistics. Such research is often carried out using linear correlational or regression methods, which are limited in the extent to which they can depict interrelations. In this study, we aimed to reexamine the relationships between the emotion variables of foreign language classroom anxiety (FLCA) and foreign language enjoyment (FLE) and the outcome variable of self‐perceived proficiency (SPP) through nonlinear methods. Specifically, we examined how different levels of FLCA and FLE influenced SPP in concert in a sample of N = 1,039 FL learners by utilizing polynomial regression with response surface analysis. The nonlinear method generated a response model that visually depicted a complex SPP pattern as a result of differing levels of FLCA and FLE. This three‐dimensional model provides considerable insight into the interaction of positive and negative emotions above and beyond what could be derived from “classical” methods of correlation and linear regression.
Emotional labor among Turkish nurses: A cross‐sectional study
Authors: Yıldız Ayşegül Tuğba , Dinc Leyla 
Published: December 2022

AbstractNurses are the closest healthcare providers to patients and emotional labor is the most invisible part of nursing work. However, the management of emotions to promote organizational goals and to ensure patient satisfaction may have both positive and negative impacts on nurses' working life. The purpose of this cross‐sectional, descriptive study was to examine the emotional labor behaviors of nurses and their opinions on emotional labor. Two hundred nineteen nurses working at public hospitals in Ankara between September and December 2018 participated to this study. Data were collected using the sociodemographic characteristics form and “The Scale of Emotional Labor Behavior for Nurses.” Nurses had higher scores on the deep and sincere emotional acting subdimensions of the emotional labor scale than the surface acting subdimension. Findings suggest that nurses act deeply and intimately, instead of surface acting. Most of the nurses expressed that nurses were emotionally affected when caring for patients; however, nurses had to control their feelings toward patients and behave professionally to meet the expectations of their managers, which may lead to an implicit emotional dissonance. Based on the results of this study, we suggest to support nurses emotionally and to incorporate the topic of emotional labor into educational programs.

AbstractBackgroundThe functional lumen imaging probe (FLIP) evaluates esophagogastric junction (EGJ) opening and esophageal contractility. Both post hoc and real‐time analyses are possible, but reproducibility and reliability of analysis remain undefined. This study assesses inter‐ and intra‐rater agreement of normative FLIP measurements among novice and experienced users.MethodsEight motility experts from different institutions independently evaluated de‐identified video recordings from 27 asymptomatic healthy subjects using FLIP. Interpretation methods simulating a post‐procedure and a live procedure setting were tested. Novice FLIP users (n = 3) received training prior to post‐procedure interpretation. Experienced FLIP users (n = 5) interpreted using both methods. Users recorded maximum EGJ and distal esophageal body diameter, distensive pressure, and EGJ distensibility index (EGJ‐DI), at balloon fill volumes of 50‐, 60‐, and 70 ml, as well as repetitive antegrade contractions (RACs). Inter‐ and intra‐rater agreements of diameters, distensive pressure and EGJ‐DI were assessed by intra‐class correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson's correlation coefficient (PCC). Percentage agreement evaluated inter‐ and intra‐rater reliability for RACs.Key ResultsNovice and experienced users acquired normative FLIP metrics. Good‐to‐excellent inter‐ and intra‐rater reliability were achieved for all variables at 60 ml balloon fill volumes. Median parameters at 60 ml balloon fill volume were as follows: EGJ‐DI 5.5 mm2/mmHg, maximum EGJ diameter 18.6 mm, distensive pressure at maximum EGJ diameter 48.1 mmHg, and distal esophageal body diameter 19.5 mm.Conclusions and InferencesNormative FLIP parameters can be reliably extracted from FLIP videos using both real‐time and post hoc analyses, with high reliability between experienced and novice users.

Published: December 2022

AbstractAlthough prior reviews have documented the effectiveness of engaging male caregivers in early childhood interventions, little is known about how these interventions have been designed and implemented to reach, engage, and support male caregivers in low‐resource global settings. We searched five bibliographic databases for intervention studies that engaged male caregivers to improve nurturing care for children under 5 years of age in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Forty‐four articles met the inclusion criteria, which represented 33 interventions. Fathers specifically were the most common type of male caregivers targeted in these interventions. The majority of interventions invited fathers to participate alongside their female partners. Community‐based peer‐groups were the most common delivery model. Most interventions used the same program structure for fathers as applied to mothers, with few considering whether implementation adaptations were needed for men. Intervention curricula were multicomponent and largely targeted child nutrition, health, and couples’ relationships. A minority of programs addressed parenting, psychosocial wellbeing, violence prevention, gender attitudes, or economic support. Behavior change techniques were limited to interactive counseling and peer learning. Male caregivers remain missing from caregiving interventions for young children. A greater focus on implementation research can inform better inclusion, engagement, and support for male caregivers in nurturing care interventions.
