Interviewing witnesses in a second language: A comparison of interpreter‐assisted, unaided, and self‐administered interviews
Authors: Ernberg Emelie , Mac Giolla Erik 
Published: October 2022

AbstractPurposeWith increasing rates of migration worldwide, police are more likely than ever to interview witnesses who do not have the same first language as they do. We examined how to best approach this situation by comparing three different ways of conducting such interviews.MethodsNative Arabic speakers (N = 128) living in Sweden witnessed a video of a mock crime and were allocated to one of three interview conditions: a face‐to‐face interview in Swedish (i.e. their second language), a face‐to‐face interview with an interpreter translating from Swedish to Arabic or an Arabic language Self‐Administered Interview© (SAI).ResultsFor total number of details reported, the no interpreter condition resulted in moderately fewer details being reported than the interpreter and SAI conditions. A similar trend was seen for correct details; however, these differences were not statistically significant. Participants in the SAI condition were somewhat less accurate in their reports compared with both the interpreter and no interpreter conditions.ConclusionsIf interviewing without an interpreter, there is minimal loss of reported detail when the witness speaks the interviewer's language at an intermediate level and the questions posed are few and simple. Moreover, provided that the witness has a sufficient level of literacy, administrating the SAI in the witness's native language can be an alternative for witnesses with no or limited verbal ability in the interviewer's language.
Predicting and projecting memory: Error and bias in metacognitive judgements underlying testimony evaluation
Authors: Helm Rebecca K. , Growns Bethany 
Published: October 2022

AbstractPurposeMetacognitive judgements of what another person would remember had they experienced a stimulus—that is social metamemory judgements, are likely to be important in evaluations of testimony in criminal and civil justice systems. This paper develops and tests predictions about two sources of error in social metamemory judgements that have the potential to be important in legal contexts—errors resulting from beliefs informed by own memory being inappropriately applied to the memory of others, and errors resulting from differential experience of an underlying stimulus.MethodWe examined social metamemory judgements in two experimental studies. In Experiment 1 (N = 323), participants were required to make either social metamemory judgements relating to faces or predictions relating to their own memory for faces. In Experiment 2 (N = 275), we manipulated participant experience of faces, holding the described experience of the person whose memory was being assessed constant and asked participants to make social metamemory judgements.ResultsAs predicted, judgements relating to the memory of others were prone to inaccuracy. Whilst participants making predictions relating to their own memory performed above chance, participants making social metamemory judgements performed no better than chance. Social metamemory judgements were also influenced by the way stimuli were experienced by an assessor, even where this experience did not correspond to the experience of the person whose memory they were assessing.ConclusionsHaving our own experiences of memory does not necessarily make us well‐placed to assess the memory of others, and, in fact, our own experiences of memory can even be misleading in making judgements about the memory of others.

AbstractObjectiveTo investigate the outcome, determine the predictors for the success of, and evaluate the efficacy of pharmacokinetic therapy on trial catheter removal for women with urinary retention.MethodsInclusion criteria were female patients with acute urinary retention defined as painful, palpable, or percussive bladder, when the patient is unable to pass any urine, accompanied by postvoid residual (PVR) > 250 ml, and who underwent trial catheter removal between July 2009 and July 2019. Before trial catheter removal, alpha‐blockers alone or alpha‐blockers and parasympathomimetics (bethanechol or distigmine bromide) were used to facilitate spontaneous voiding in some cases.ResultsFifty‐nine of 104 (56.7%) women with urinary retention were catheter‐free post trial. There was no significant difference between successful and non‐successful trials in average age (p = .392), median ECOG (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group) performance status (p = .374), diabetes mellitus (p = .842), dementia (p = .801), previous history of cerebrovascular events (p = .592), or intrapelvic surgery (p = .800). Oral medications were administered for 39/59 (66.1%) in the success group and 30/45 (66.7%) patients in the non‐success groups (p = .598).Serum albumin (3.2 ± 0.7 g/dl and 2.8 ± 0.8 g/dl, p = .039) and total protein values (6.5 ± 0.8 g/dl and 6.0 ± 1.0 g/dl, p = .038) at diagnosis of urinary retention were higher in the success group than the non‐success group, respectively.Multivariate logistic regression found that a serum albumin >3 g/dl was an independent predictor of successful trial catheter removal for women with urinary retention (p = .030, odds ratio [OR] 3.3, 95% confidence interval [CI] of OR 1.1–9.9). Age < 70 years old was a likely predictor of successful trial catheter removal (p = .066, OR 4.8, 95% CI of OR 0.9–25.0).ConclusionsThis is the first retrospective study to investigate the predictive factors for successful trial catheter removal in women with urinary retention. A serum albumin value >3 mg/dl at diagnosis of urinary retention was a significant independent predictor of catheter‐free status after trial catheter removal, and age < 70 years‐old was a possible contributor. There was no evidence that oral medication contributed to catheter‐free status.
“There Would Be More Black Spaces”: Care/giving Cartographies during COVID‐19
Authors: Carney Megan A. , Chess Debi , Rascon‐Canales Michelle 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBlack geographies, Black feminist anthropology, and related fields have provided substantial evidence attesting to the effects of racially violent spatial practices such as dispossession, racial segregation, mass incarceration, and redlining for the health outcomes and life chances of Black communities and other racialized groups, and conversely, the political and healing potential of placemaking projects. We foreground theory from Black geographies and Black feminist work on care to examine care/giving cartographies at the height of the COVID‐19 pandemic. We present findings from semi‐structured interviews conducted virtually in 2021 that combined care/giving narratives and counter‐mapping with 20 African American residents of Tucson, Arizona, as part of a longer‐term community‐based placemaking project. Interview data underscore the spatial and discursive pervasiveness of anti‐Blackness, including within biomedical spaces of care, and negative effects on health. We argue that narratives centering care/giving alongside practices of counter‐mapping are indictments of the institutional structures abetting anti‐Black racism as a structuring, spatial logic.

ABSTRACTWildlife researchers need to understand the effects of biotelemetry tags in order to better weigh benefits versus risks. We describe tag‐site healing and pathology of three beluga whales,Delphinapterus leucas, found dead in Alaska. The tags were secured with two or three nylon rods that pierced the dorsal ridge, and one beluga also had a LIMPET tag. The tag wounds in one Cook Inlet beluga featured a normal healing response with minimal inflammation ~12 years posttagging. Photo‐ID studies of another Cook Inlet beluga demonstrated degeneration of the tag wounds over several years. It died ~12.8 years posttagging of bronchopneumonia and septicemia due toStaphylococcus aureusthat also infected the tag wound. A Bristol Bay beluga died 4 months posttagging. Although it may have been predated by a killer whale attack,Orcinus orca, the tag site was inflamed and infected withStreptococcus uberiswhich spread to an abscessed lymph node. To reduce the risk of infection, researchers should adopt strict sterilization protocols for all implanted parts of tags and continue research into improved tagging methods. Clinical and behavioral assessment of potential preexisting conditions before tag deployment, as well as posttag monitoring, could help reduce tag‐associated mortality and identify immediate impacts and mortality.

Published: October 2022

AbstractWhile strike action has been common since the industrial revolution, it often invokes a passionate and polarising response, from the strikers themselves, from employers, governments and the general public. Support or lack thereof from health workers and the general public is an important consideration in the justification of strike action. This systematic review sought to examine the impact of strike action on patient and clinician attitudes, specifically to explore (1) patient and health worker support for strike action and (2) the predictors for supporting strike action and the reasons given for engaging in strike action. A systematic scoping review was employed to identify all relevant literature, followed by a textual narrative synthesis. A total of 34 studies met inclusion criteria. Support for strike action was largely context‐dependent. A range of factors impact support for strike action; broader cultural and structural factors, such as unionisation and general acceptance of strike action; systemic factors, such as the nature of the healthcare system, including infrastructure and work conditions; the strike itself and a range of individual factors, the most notable of which was being a student or in an early career stage. There were also some surprising results, for example, during doctors strike, nurses were provided with the opportunity to expand their role, which led to greater professional autonomy and job satisfaction.
Musical development during adolescence: Perceptual skills, cognitive resources, and musical training
Authors: Müllensiefen Daniel , Elvers Paul , Frieler Klaus 
Published: October 2022

AbstractLongitudinal studies on musical development can provide very valuable insights and potentially evidence for causal mechanisms driving the development of musical skills and cognitive resources, such as working memory and intelligence. Nonetheless, quantitative longitudinal studies on musical and cognitive development are very rare in the published literature. Hence, the aim of this paper is to document available longitudinal evidence on musical development from three different sources. In part I, data from a systematic literature review are presented in a graphical format, making developmental trends from five previous longitudinal studies comparable. Part II presents a model of musical development derived from music‐related variables that are part of the British Millennium Cohort Study. In part III, data from the ongoing LongGold project are analyzed answering five questions on the change of musical skills and cognitive resources across adolescence and on the role that musical training and activities might play in these developmental processes. Results provide evidence for substantial near transfer effects (from musical training to musical skills) and weaker evidence for far‐transfer to cognitive variables. But results also show evidence of cognitive profiles of high intelligence and working memory capacity that are conducive to strong subsequent growth rates of musical development.

AbstractObjectiveOur previous research have found that mesenchymal β‐catenin may be involved in palatal shelf (PS) elevation by regulating F‐actin. Here, we further investigated the exact mechanism of β‐catenin/F‐actin in the PS mesenchyme to regulate palatal reorientation.Materials and Methods(1) Firstly, Ctnnb1ex3f (β‐catenin) mice were conditionally overexpressed in the palatal mesenchyme by crossing with the Sox9‐creERT2 mice (induced by Tamoxifen injections); (2) Subsequently, histology and immunohistochemistry were used to characterize the variations of PS morphology and expression of key molecules associated with developmental process; (3) Finally, experiments in vivo and ex vivo were employed to identify the critical mechanisms in β‐catenin silenced and overexpressed models.ResultsWe found that the Sox9CreER; Ctnnb1ex3f mice exhibited failed palatal elevation and visible cleft palate, and overexpression of β‐catenin disturbed the F‐actin responsible for cytoskeletal remodeling in palatal mesenchymal cells. qRT‐PCR results showed mRNA levels of α‐actinin4, a gene involved in F‐actin cross‐linking, were associated with knockdown or overexpression of β‐catenin in ex vivo, respectively. Experiments in vivo revealed that mesenchymal specific inactivation or overexpression of β‐catenin exhibited decreased or increased α‐actinin‐4 expression.ConclusionsMesenchymal β‐catenin/F‐actin plays an essential role in PS reorientation, which mediate α‐actinin‐4 to regulate F‐actin cytoskeleton reorganization.

AbstractAimTo develop a transcultural adaptation of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale among Spanish caregivers of dependent older people and to test the psychometric properties of the scale.DesignCross‐sectional study.MethodsThe Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale was transculturally adapted to the Spanish population following the methodology of direct and back translation. The Spanish version of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale was administered to a total of 182 family caregivers of older dependent people. The study began in January 2016 and ended in December of the same year. The construct validity was studied by means of the scree plot and parallel analysis. The exploratory factorial analysis was carried out, and the correlation between factors was studied. To verify the reliability of the process, Cronbach's alpha and homogeneity were calculated by the corrected total item correlation. The validity of the convergent criterion was studied by means of the Pearson correlation coefficient, using the Zarit Caregiver Load Interview and the Family Satisfaction Scale as the gold standard.ResultsThe construct validity revealed three factors: ‘Subjective Burden’ (15 items), ‘Satisfaction’ (7 items) and ‘Competence’ (3 items). The Cronbach alpha was .86 for ‘Subjective Burden’, .74 for ‘Satisfaction’ and .74 for ‘Competence’. The corrected total item correlation was greater than .25. The validity of the convergent criterion of the ‘Subjective Burden’ and ‘Competence’ factors with the ‘Zarit Caregiver's Load Interview’ presented a very high statistically significant correlation, unlike ‘Satisfaction’ which presented a low positive correlation with the ‘Family Satisfaction Scale’.ConclusionThe Spanish version of the Revised Caregiving Appraisal Scale is a valid and reliable scale according to the tests performed on a random sample of family caregivers of older dependent people in Spain.ImpactThis scale will enable the simultaneous assessment of negative (‘Subjective Burden’ and ‘Competence’) and positive (‘Satisfaction’) perceptions among family caregivers of older dependent people.

Published: October 2022

ObjectiveRecurrence is the main hinderance in treatment of aneurysmal bone cysts (ABCs). Therefore, several treatment modalities and adjuvant therapies have been proposed. In this study, we aim to evaluate the long‐term effectiveness of percutaneous curettage and allogenic bone grafting as a new, minimally invasive modality in treating ABCs.MethodsWe performed a retrospective review of the medical records of patients diagnosed with primary ABCs at a university hospital over a 10‐year period (2000–2010). We selected all patients who were diagnosed with primary ABC in the extremities and pelvis, treated with the same surgical procedure, and were followed for at least 2 years postoperatively. All patients underwent the same procedure of percutaneous curettage and impaction of allogenic pulverized fine bone fragments (harvested from locally stored femoral heads) mixed with autologous bone marrow aspirate from the iliac bone. We reported patient's characteristics (age and gender), site and size of the lesion, presenting symptoms, Capanna classification, follow‐up duration, and post‐operative complications. Assessment of cyst healing was based on the appearance on radiographs according to the modified Neer classification.ResultsNineteen patients were included in this study; 10 patients were males and nine were females. The mean age was 9.6 years (range 3–15). The location of the lesions was as follows: femur (eight), tibia (four), pelvis (four), proximal humerus (one), distal radius (one), and calcaneus (one). The most common presenting symptom was pain in the involved area. Pathological fracture was the presenting feature in two patients. The mean follow‐up duration was 6.4 years (range 2–18). The earliest radiological sign of incorporation of the allograft was seen at 3 months after surgery. All patients showed bone remodeling and radiographic resolution (classified as either A or B on the modified Neer classification) of their cystic lesions within 6 months. No local recurrence, infection, or pathological fractures occurred during the follow‐up period.ConclusionPercutaneous curettage and impaction of allogenic bone graft mixed with autogenic bone marrow aspirate is an efficient, minimally invasive, reproducible, and affordable procedure for the treatment of primary ABCs.

AbstractGastro‐oesophageal reflux (GOR) and food allergy (FA) are common conditions, especially during the first 12 months of life. When GOR leads to troublesome symptoms, that affect the daily functioning of the infant and family, it is referred to as GOR disease (GORD). The role of food allergens as a cause of GORD remains controversial. This European Academy of Allergy and Clinical Immunology (EAACI) position paper aims to review the evidence for FA‐associated GORD in young children and translate this into clinical practice that guides healthcare professionals through the diagnosis of suspected FA‐associated GORD and medical and dietary management. The task force (TF) on non‐IgE mediated allergy consists of EAACI experts in paediatric gastroenterology, allergy, dietetics and psychology from Europe, United Kingdom, United States, Turkey and Brazil. Six clinical questions were formulated, amended and approved by the TF to guide this publication. A systematic literature search using PubMed, Cochrane and EMBASE databases (until June 2021) using predefined inclusion criteria based on the 6 questions was used. The TF also gained access to the database from the European Society of Paediatric Gastroenterology and Hepatology working group, who published guidelines on GORD and ensured that all publications used within that position paper were included. For each of the 6 questions, practice points were formulated, followed by a modified Delphi method consisting of anonymous web‐based voting that was repeated with modified practice points where required, until at least 80% consensus for each practice point was achieved. This TF position paper shares the process, the discussion and consensus on all practice points on FA‐associated GORD.
Are tax and expenditure limitations constraining institutions or institutionally irrelevant? Evidence from Minnesota
Authors: Shumberger Jason , Singla Akheil 
Published: October 2022

AbstractState‐imposed limitations on local government taxation and expenditures (TELs) are a common part of American federalism. But the consequences of TELs are the subject of debate. Are TELs institutional constraints that harm local governments? Or are TELs institutionally irrelevant veils easily pierced by political actors? This research uses the removal of an assessment restriction in Minnesota to evaluate the effect of TELs on the financial health of local governments. It finds that TEL removal had no effect on the financial health of Minnesota cities. Additional tests demonstrate that the results are not driven by a lack of bindingness in the TEL, by increases in property tax rates, or by new non‐property tax revenue. It concludes that TELs are closer to institutionally irrelevant than to meaningful constraints.

AbstractPlant growth‐promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can help plants to resist drought stress. However, the mechanisms of how PGPR inoculation affect plant status under drought remain incompletely understood. We performed a meta‐analysis of plant response to PGPR inoculation by compiling data from 57 PGPR‐inoculation studies, including 2, 387 paired observations on morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters under drought and well‐watered conditions. We compare the PGPR effect on plants performances among different groups of controls and treatments. Our results reveal that PGPR enables plants to restore themselves from drought‐stressed to near a well‐watered state, and that C4 plants recover better from drought stress than C3 plants. Furthermore, PGPR is more effective underdrought than well‐watered conditions in increasing plant biomass, enhancing photosynthesis and inhibiting oxidant damage, and the responses of C4 plants to the PGPR effect was stronger than that of C3 plants under drought conditions. Additionally, PGPR belonging to different taxa and PGPR with different functional traits have varying degrees of drought‐resistance effects on plants. These results are important to improve our understanding of the PGPR beneficial effects on enhanced drought‐resistance of plants.
