Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundEarly recovery from alcohol use disorder (AUD) is commonly associated with high levels of negative affect, stress, and emotional vulnerability, which confer significant relapse risk. Emotion differentiation—the ability to distinguish between discrete emotions—has been shown to predict relapse after treatment for a drug use disorder, but this relationship has not been explored in individuals recovering from AUD.MethodsThe current study used thrice daily random and up to thrice daily self‐initiated ecological momentary assessment surveys (N = 42, observations = 915) to examine whether 1) moments of high affective arousal are characterized by momentary differences in emotion differentiation among individuals in the first year of a current AUD recovery attempt, and 2) individuals’ average emotion differentiation would predict subsequent alcohol use measured by the timeline follow‐back over a 3‐month follow‐up period.ResultsMultilevel models showed that moments (Level 1) of higher‐than‐average negative affect (p < 0.001) and/or stress (p = 0.033) were characterized by less negative emotion differentiation, while moments of higher‐than‐average positive affect were characterized by greater positive emotion differentiation (p < 0.001). At the between‐person level (Level 2), participants with higher stress overall had lower negative emotion differentiation (p = 0.009). Linear regression showed that average negative, but not positive, emotion differentiation was inversely associated with percent drinking days over the subsequent 3‐month follow‐up period (p = 0.042). Neither form of average emotion differentiation was associated with drinking quantity.ConclusionsWe found that for individuals in early AUD recovery, affective states are associated with acute shifts in the capacity for emotion differentiation. Further, we found that average negative emotion differentiation prospectively predicts subsequent alcohol use.
Seed dispersal by monkey spitting in Scadoxus (Amaryllidaceae): Fruit selection, dispersal distances and effects on seed germination
Authors: Butler Hannah C. , Johnson Steven D. 
Published: May 2022

AbstractFleshy fruits are usually associated with ingestion of seeds but can also serve as a reward to animals that discard seeds without ingesting them. We investigated the seed dispersal systems of two South African Scadoxus lilies. Like those in some other genera in Amaryllidaceae tribe Haemantheae, seeds of Scadoxus are non‐orthodox, reputedly poisonous and enclosed within fleshy fruits. The bright red ripe Scadoxus fruits attract monkeys, which consume the fleshy fruit and spit out the seeds. Depulping increases the rate of seed germination. Monkeys spit some seeds out in the immediate vicinity of the plant and carry others further away in their cheek pouches (84% of S. multiflorus subsp katherinae seeds and 78% of S. puniceus seeds were dispersed further than 1 m away from the parent plant). Both species occur in very specific spatially restricted habitats; S. multiflorus subspecies katherinae is confined to patches of swamp within forests, while S. puniceus is confined to small bush clumps in a grassland mosaic. Monkey‐mediated seed dispersal may be advantageous for these two Scadoxus species as it ensures that some seeds are spat out in the immediate spatially restricted habitats of the parent plants, while others are carried through cheek‐pouching to more distant habitat patches.
Broken gods: Collaborative filmmaking in troubled times
Authors: Tilche Alice 
Published: May 2022

AbstractDrawing on my involvement in the production of Broken Gods, a film that documents the growing participation of India's indigenous groups in projects of cultural erasure and conversion to Hinduism, this article reflects on the relations and tensions between a commitment to collaboration and critique. The film was co‐designed with indigenous communities, although such collaboration became impossible due to contrasting religious‐political affiliations. Collaborative techniques such as feedback resulted in challenging censorship claims that could only be resolved by reclaiming the importance of critique. Collaborative projects with nonanthropologists have often gone alongside a public or engaged anthropology, recasting ethnography as an act of citizenship with the potential to intervene in existing struggles (Lassiter 2005). Within these projects, anthropologists have traditionally taken the side of the oppressed. Yet, what happens when the marginal groups anthropologists traditionally championed align with the powerful forces anthropologists traditionally critiqued? How do we collaborate with groups we disagree with? And how do we represent disagreement in collaboration? The article approaches these questions via a consideration of methods, demonstrating how different media—and film, in particular—have different impacts on the possibilities and forms of both collaboration and critique.

AbstractAimThe aim of this study was to investigate the associations between sodium supply, fluid volume, sodium imbalances and severe intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) in extremely preterm (EPT) infants.MethodsWe used data from the EXtremely PREterm infants in Sweden Study (EXPRESS) cohort consisting of all infants born at 22 to 26 gestational weeks from 2004 to 2007 and conducted a nested case–control study. For every infant with severe IVH (grade 3 or peri‐ventricular haemorrhagic infarction), one IVH‐free control infant with the birthday closest to the case infant and matched for hospital, sex, gestational age and birth weight was selected (n = 70 case–control pairs).ResultsTotal sodium supply and fluid volume were higher in infants with severe IVH compared with controls [daily total sodium supply until postnatal Day 2: mean ± SD (mmol/kg/day): 5.49 ± 2.53 vs. 3.95 ± 1.91, p = 0.009]. These differences were accounted for by sodium and fluid from transfused blood products. High plasma sodium concentrations or large sodium fluctuations were not associated with severe IVH.ConclusionOur results suggest a relationship between sodium‐rich transfusions of blood products and severe IVH in EPT infants. It is unclear whether this is an effect of sodium load, volume load or some other transfusion‐related factor.
Call me maybe: Risk factors of impaired social contact during the COVID‐19 pandemic and associations with well‐being
Authors: Rudert Selma C. , Janke Stefan 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic caused major societal changes worldwide, with the most notable being lockdowns and restrictions on social contact. We conducted a longitudinal study (total n = 1907) in Germany with two time points to (1) identify demographic risk factors of impaired social contact during the pandemic, as well as investigate potential consequences of (2) impaired social contact and (3) different modes of communication on individuals' well‐being during the first lockdown in spring 2020. Results indicate that particularly individuals living alone and being unable to work reported a lower frequency of (face‐to‐face) contact in comparison with participants living with others or working. Impaired social contact was indirectly associated with a negative development in well‐being (life satisfaction, anxiety and depression) over time, and this relation was mediated via relatedness. Moreover, the frequency of face‐to‐face and phone communication during lockdown was positively associated with relatedness and well‐being; however, digital communication was not. The findings stress the importance of maintaining social contact in times of social distancing and of fostering reconnection between individuals once the pandemic is over.
Import demand elasticities based on quantity data: Theory and evidence
Authors: Ferguson Shon M. , Smith Aaron 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCorrect estimates of import demand elasticities are essential for measuring the gains from trade and predicting the impact of trade policies. We show that estimates of import demand elasticities hinge critically on whether they are derived using trade quantities or trade values, and this difference is due to properties of the estimators. Using partial identification methods, we show theoretically that the upper bound on the set of plausible estimates is lower when using traded quantities, compared to the standard approach using trade values. Our theoretical predictions are confirmed using detailed product‐level data on US imports for the years 1993 to 2006. Our proposed method using traded quantities leads to smaller point estimates of the import demand elasticities for many goods and imply larger gains from trade compared to estimates based on trade values.

Published: May 2022

AbstractThis study examined the developmental profiles of children's social reasoning about individual agentive and deontic concerns. Tongan children (N = 140, 47.9% male), aged 4–8 years, were given a set of mentalistic (standard theory‐of‐mind) and deontic reasoning tasks. On average, children found diverse desires, knowledge access, hidden emotion, and belief emotion easier than the false‐belief and diverse belief tasks. Tongan children were sensitive to social norms governing behavior, and this information was recruited for predicting behavior in a false‐belief task when embedded in a socially normative context. We discuss the potential for cultural mandates to shape children's social understanding and the impact of culture on our theoretical framing of children's development.

AbstractBackgroundThere is significant overdiagnosis of milk allergy in young children in some countries, leading to unnecessary use of specialized formula. This guidance, developed by experts without commercial ties to the formula industry, aims to reduce milk allergy overdiagnosis and support carers of children with suspected milk allergy.MethodsDelphi study involving two rounds of anonymous consensus building and an open meeting between January and July 2021. Seventeen experts in general practice, nutrition, midwifery, health visiting, lactation support and relevant areas of paediatrics participated, located in Europe, North America, Middle East, Africa, Australia and Asia. Five authors of previous milk allergy guidelines and seven parents provided feedback.FindingsParticipants agreed on 38 essential recommendations through consensus. Recommendations highlighted the importance of reproducibility and specificity for diagnosing milk allergy in children with acute or delayed symptoms temporally related to milk protein ingestion; and distinguished between children directly consuming milk protein and exclusively breastfed infants. Consensus was reached that maternal dietary restriction is not usually necessary to manage milk allergy, and that for exclusively breastfed infants with chronic symptoms, milk allergy diagnosis should only be considered in specific, rare circumstances. Consensus was reached that milk allergy diagnosis does not need to be considered for stool changes, aversive feeding or occasional spots of blood in stool, if there is no temporal relationship with milk protein ingestion. When compared with previous guidelines, these consensus recommendations resulted in more restrictive criteria for detecting milk allergy and a more limited role for maternal dietary exclusions and specialized formula.InterpretationThese new milk allergy recommendations from non‐conflicted, multidisciplinary experts advise narrower criteria, more prominent support for breastfeeding and less use of specialized formula, compared with current guidelines.
Mobile phone parenting in work‐separated Chinese families with young children left behind: A qualitative inquiry into parenting dimensions and determinants
Authors: Liang Ruwen , Yang Yi , Van Leeuwen Karla 
Published: May 2022

AbstractAlthough recent studies have documented how working‐elsewhere parents remotely achieved parenting through mobile phones, namely, ‘mobile phone parenting’ (MPP), a comprehensive conceptualization of MPP dimensions remains underexplored. Very few researchers have focused on the case of millions of work‐separated families with young left‐behind children from rural China from the perspectives of parenting dimensions and parenting process (determinants of parenting). By a thematic analysis approach, this qualitative study analysed interview data from 21 rural‐to‐urban Chinese migrant parents to characterize and contextualize their MPP behaviours. Narratives were organized into the first theme, MPP dimensions, including parental support (responsivity and autonomy granting), psychological control and behavioural control (directive control, proactive control and harsh punitive control). The second theme reflected that parents' perceptions of their own and offspring's well‐being, family media literacy and co‐parenting could elucidate the process of these participants' MPP practices. There was evidence for the consistency with universal parenting dimensions, but also for some unique MPP behaviours in the context of migration and remote communications. The findings indicate the importance and ecological complexity of MPP that involves technologies, multiple participants and their interplay. The conceptual framework originating from this study may be used in future studies and guide quantitative assessments of MPP.

AbstractIt is important to understand how individuals perceive uncertainties and the consequent impact on their psychological well‐being and health behavior. The Perceptions of Uncertainties in Genome Sequencing (PUGS) scale measures clinical, affective, and evaluative uncertainties about information from sequencing. The PUGS scale has been shown to be valid and reliable among individuals receiving results about their genomes. This study assessed whether its validity generalized to patients with cancer undergoing tumor sequencing. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was conducted on data from the Molecular Screening and Therapeutics Program (n = 310) to identify a measurement model. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to determine the adequacy of the resulting fit. EFA identified the same three‐factor structure reported previously. CFA confirmed that the measurement model yielded a good fit (χ2/df = 3.72, CFI = 0.96, SRMR = 0.05, and RMSEA = 0.09) and satisfied convergent and discriminant validity. These findings provide further evidence of the validity and reliability of the PUGS scale in measuring three types of uncertainty. Continued application will facilitate an evidence‐based approach to intervention and enhance understanding of what it is like to receive results. In turn, this will improve clinical outcomes as undergoing sequencing becomes an increasingly common experience.

AbstractCompared with manual matching, computer colour matching is faster and more reliable. Computer colour‐matching results are determined by the method used; however, in practical application, the accuracy of colour matching still needs to be improved. In this paper, we first designed a series of colour‐matching schemes with two reactive dyes, Levafix Blue and Levafix Amber, then dyed cotton fabric through the pad‐dry‐pad‐steam process, and finally established the matching database. Furthermore, two colour‐matching sub‐models were developed by least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) to predict the dye recipe in cotton fabric dyeing, while particle swarm optimisation (PSO) was applied to optimise and tune the parameters of the LSSVM models. Herein, the model inputs are the colour parameters L*, a* and b* of the dyed samples and the model output is dye concentration. It is confirmed that the colour‐matching models have excellent evaluation indexes and colour‐matching effects. The coefficient of determination is more than 0.99, and the colour‐matching precision is more than 98%. All the results prove that the colour‐matching models by PSO‐LSSVM can be accurately applied in practical dyeing to predict the reactive dye recipe, which is suitable for use on an industrial scale.

Published: May 2022

SummaryBackground and objectivePityriasis rosea (PR), a common skin disease in young adults, may adversely affects the course of pregnancy and the unborn child.Patients and methodsData from forty‐six pregnant women with PR seen in the dermatological university clinic between 2003 and 2018 were analyzed and compared with patient data (n = 53) from previously published studies to determine the incidence and risk factors for an unfavorable pregnancy outcome after PR infection.ResultsUnfavorable pregnancy outcomes (defined as miscarriage, preterm delivery before week 37 of gestation, or birth weight < 2,500 g) were significantly less frequent in our study population than in a pooled cohort obtained from previously published studies (10.9 % vs. 39.6 %; P = 0.0012). Analysis of pooled data from our study and from previous studies revealed that the week of pregnancy at onset of PR was inversely associated with an unfavorable outcome (odds ratio [OR] = 0.937; 95 % CI 0.883 to 0.993). In addition, duration of PR (OR = 1.432; 95 % CI 1.129 to 1.827), additional extracutaneous symptoms (OR = 4.112; 95 % CI 1.580 to 10.23), and widespread rash distribution (OR 5.203, 95 % CI 1.702 to 14.89) were directly associated with unfavorable outcome.ConclusionIn most cases, PR does not influence pregnancy or birth outcomes.
Studying children's growth in self‐regulation using changing measures to account for heterotypic continuity: A Bayesian approach to developmental scaling

AbstractSelf‐regulation is thought to show heterotypic continuity–its individual differences endure but its behavioral manifestations change across development. Thus, different measures across time may be necessary to account for heterotypic continuity of self‐regulation. This longitudinal study examined children's (N = 108) self‐regulation development using 17 measures, including 15 performance‐based measures, two questionnaires, and three raters across seven time points. It is the first to use different measures of self‐regulation over time to account for heterotypic continuity while using developmental scaling to link the measures onto the same scale for more accurate growth estimates. Assessed facets included inhibitory control, delayed gratification, sustained attention, and executive functions. Some measures differed across ages to retain construct validity and account for heterotypic continuity. A Bayesian longitudinal mixed model for developmental scaling was developed to link the differing measures onto the same scale. This allowed charting children's self‐regulation growth across ages 3–7 years and relating it to both predictors and outcomes. Rapid growth occurred from ages 3–6. As a validation of the developmental scaling approach, greater self‐regulation was associated with better school readiness (math and reading skills) and fewer externalizing problems. Our multi‐wave, multi‐facet, multi‐method, multi‐measure, multi‐rater, developmental scaling approach is the most comprehensive to date for assessing the development of self‐regulation. This approach demonstrates that developmental scaling may enable studying development of self‐regulation across the lifespan.

AbstractBackgroundCell‐free DNA (cfDNA) and nucleosomes, consisting of cfDNA and histones, are markers of cell activation and damage. In systemic inflammation these markers predict severity and fatality. However, the role of cfDNA in acute Graft‐versus‐Host Disease (aGvHD), a major complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), is unknown.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the role of cfDNA as a marker of aGvHD.MethodsWe followed nucleosome levels in 37 allogeneic HSCT patients and an established xenotransplantation mouse model. We determined the origin of cfDNA with a species‐specific polymerase chain reaction.ResultsIn the plasma of aGvHD patients, nucleosome levels significantly increased around the time of aGvHD diagnosis compared to pretransplant, concurrently with a significant increase of known aGvHD markers ST2 and REG3α. In mice, we confirmed that nucleosomes were elevated during clinically detectable aGvHD. We found cfDNA to be mainly of human origin and to a lesser extent of mouse origin, indicating that cfDNA is released by (proliferating) human xeno‐reactive PBMC and damaged mouse cells.ConclusionWe show increased cfDNA both in an aGvHD mouse model and in aGvHD patients. We also demonstrate that donor hematopoietic cells and to a lesser degree (damaged) host cells are the cellular source of cfDNA in aGvHD. We propose that nucleosomes and cfDNA might be an additive marker for aGvHD.
