Abstract

Objectives
Higher education student musicians face high physical, psychological, and emotional demands affecting their well-being and academic experience. This study examined the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of the so-called CRAFT program, based on mindfulness, yoga, positive psychology, and emotional intelligence, to improve psychological well-being, psychological distress, emotional regulation, and physical flexibility amongst tertiary education student musicians.

Methods
Using a single-arm pre-post study design, student musicians (n = 25) at a royal conservatory of music in Spain followed a 25-week CRAFT program that was curricularly implemented during the academic year 2018/2019, once a week for 50 min. The outcome measures included were the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ), the Subjective Psychological Well-Being Subscale (SPWS), the Emotional Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), the Depression Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS-21), and the Sit and Reach Test (SRT).

Results
Paired samples t-test and practical significance analyses revealed significant improvements for the total scale of the FFMQ (g = 0.28), the Observe (g = 0.44) and Describe (g = 0.38) subscales of the FFMQ, the SPWS (g = 0.32), the Reappraisal subscale of the ERQ (g = 0.43), and the SRT (g = 0.39). A similar pattern of results was observed in a filtered sample (n = 15) when excluding participants simultaneously engaged in yoga/meditation activities other than the CRAFT program.

Conclusions
These results indicated that the CRAFT program is a promising intervention for improving mindfulness skills and health and well-being states and abilities amongst higher education student musicians. Further research is needed to substantiate these findings and extend them to similar settings and populations with complex psychophysical concerns.
A competition system with nonlinear cross-diffusion: exact periodic patterns
Authors: Kersner Robert , Klincsik Mihály , Zhanuzakova Dinara 
Published: September 2022

AbstractOur concern in this paper is to shed some additional light on the mechanism and the effect caused by the so called cross-diffusion. We consider a two-species reaction–diffusion (RD) system. Both “fluxes” contain the gradients of both unknown solutions. We show that–for some parameter range– there exist two different type of periodic stationary solutions. Using them, we are able to divide into parts the (eight-dimensional) parameter space and indicate the so called Turing domains where our solutions exist. The boundaries of these domains, in analogy with “bifurcation point”, called “bifurcation surfaces”. As it is commonly believed, these solutions are limits astgoes to infinity of the solutions of corresponding evolution system. In a forthcoming paper we shall give a detailed account about our numerical results concerning different kind of stability. Here we also show some numerical calculations making plausible that our solutions are in fact attractors with a large domain of attraction in the space of initial functions.
Three term relations for multivariate Uvarov orthogonal polynomials
Authors: Aktaş Rabia , Area Iván , Pérez Teresa E. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThree term relations for orthogonal polynomials in several variables associated to a moment linear functional obtained by a Uvarov modification of a given moment functional are studied. Existence of Uvarov orthogonal polynomials is analyzed, stating conditions to ensure it. The matrices of the three term relations of the Uvarov orthogonal polynomials are explicitly given in terms of the matrices of the three term relations satisfied by the original family. Two examples are presented in order to show that the results are valid for positive definite linear functionals and also for some quasi definite linear functionals which are not positive definite.

Published: September 2022

Abstract
Purpose of Review
We review the application and limitations of two implementations of the “case-only design” in injury epidemiology with example analyses of Fatality Analysis Reporting System data.

Recent Findings
The term “case-only design” covers a variety of epidemiologic designs; here, two implementations of the design are reviewed: (1) studies to uncover etiological heterogeneity and (2) studies to measure exposure effect modification. These two designs produce results that require different interpretations and rely upon different assumptions. The key assumption of case-only designs for exposure effect modification, the more commonly used of the two designs, does not commonly hold for injuries and so results from studies using this design cannot be interpreted. Case-only designs to identify etiological heterogeneity in injury risk are interpretable but only when the case-series is conceptualized as arising from an underlying cohort.

Summary
The results of studies using case-only designs are commonly misinterpreted in the injury literature.
Das Übergangstraining als Maßnahme bei der Wiedereingliederung im professionellen Bühnentanz nach Arbeitsunfall: Untersuchungen des Feedbacks von Tänzer*innen – ein Pilotprojekt

Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungEinleitungDas Übergangstraining kommt in der Phase zwischen allgemeinen Maßnahmen einer Rehabilitation und dem Wiedererreichen der vollständigen Arbeitsfähigkeit im Tanzberuf zum Einsatz. Durch die Tanzspezifik führt das Übergangstraining verletzte Tänzer*innen in die tatsächliche berufliche, technisch spezifische und tägliche Tätigkeit zurück. Bisher fehlen weitgehend Daten zum Nutzen dieser Maßnahme. Ziel der vorliegenden Pilotstudie war daher eine erste retrospektive Evaluation zu subjektiven Erfahrungen.MethodenRetrospektive Querschnittbefragung (online) bein = 21 (w: 57,1 %, m: 42,9 %) Tänzer*innen nach Arbeitsunfall.ErgebnisseDas Übergangstraining wurde von den Teilnehmenden als sehr hilfreich eingestuft. 38,1 % bewerteten es sogar als die hilfreichste Maßnahme, gefolgt von der Physiotherapie und dem Gyrotonic Expansion System®. Die nahezu ungeteilte, höhere Aufmerksamkeit durch den oder die Pädagog*in (81 %), das im Vergleich zum Training im Ensemble entspannte und stressfreie Arbeiten (81 %) sowie die Berücksichtigung der individuellen Verletzung und den damit verbundenen Einschränkungen (81 %) wurden von den Teilnehmenden dieses Pilotprojektes als Vorteile des Übergangstrainings besonders häufig genannt. 52,3 % bewerteten die subjektive Leistungsfähigkeit als mindestens genauso hoch wie vor der Verletzung.Diskussion und FazitDie Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass ein Übergangstraining im Rahmen der Rehabilitation und Wiedereingliederung professioneller Tänzer*innen nach Verletzungen einen wichtigen Beitrag darstellt. Jedoch sollten weitere Studien folgen, die diese ersten Ergebnisse unterstützen bzw. das Wissen erweitern helfen.

Published: September 2022

AbstractThe time children spend with mobile devices has increased in recent years. Preschoolers’ home usage of mobile devices has mainly been investigated through parents’ perceptions. Listening to the children’s voices can help us understand this matter more directly. Therefore, in this study, a convergent mixed methods approach was employed to help us investigate the home usage of mobile devices by young children, focusing on children’s comments. The participants were 55 Greek children aged 4–6, attending two public kindergartens in Patras. Children described in detail their activities on mobile devices, through semi-structured interviews. The results indicated that the most popular activity for the children was playing digital games. The children were able to demonstrate and describe activities for educational purposes (letters, numbers, digital puzzles, documentaries, etc.) during the home usage of mobile devices. The circumstances in which they are allowed to use their mobile devices is when their parents want to keep them calm during quiet hours or in public places. Implications for introducing mobile learning activities in Greek education are discussed.

Published: September 2022

Behçet's disease (BD) is a rare systemic vasculitis with multisystemic involvement. Neurological involvement, called neuro-Behçet's disease (NBD), mostly involves the central nervous system and ce-rebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is the predominant neurological manifestation in the pediatric age.
A 12-year-old female with a past medical history of a CVT, without an identifiable etiology, was admitted with a five-day right fronto-orbital headache. Neuroimage showed a subacute thrombosis of a right superficial sylvian vein, with indirect signs of intracranial hypertension and no imaging signs of vasculitis. Prothrombotic screening and immunologic study were normal. She was started on acetazol- amide and hypocoagulation with progressively improving. She had a history of frequent oral aphthae and an episode of a genital ulcer three months before admission. Pathergy test was negative. HLA-B51 was positive. She was diagnosed with NBD and started therapy with colchicine and infliximab. After discharge, the patient remains without symptoms, hypocoagulated, and on infliximab regimen, without complications to report.
This case, only diagnosed in the second episode of CVT, is paradigmatic of the difficulty in establishing the diagnosis of BD.

AbstractBackgroundRefusal to participate in studies related to sexual health can compromise the internal and external validity of findings. Research examining non-response to sexual health studies has primarily focused on predictors such as specific sexual attitudes and behaviors.AimEvaluate predictors of non-response to a supplemental sexual health survey added to a web-based cohort study, focusing on predictors that may be important in epidemiologic studies of sexual health.MethodsIn March 2021, we added the “Sexual Health and Wellbeing Questionnaire” (SQ), an optional supplemental sexual health survey, to the protocol for Pregnancy Study Online , a web-based North American prospective cohort study. Eligible participants identified as female and were aged 21–45 years, actively trying to conceive, and in a relationship with a male partner. Participants completed a baseline questionnaire at enrollment and follow-up questionnaires every 8 weeks. Participants were invited to complete the SQ 30 days after baseline questionnaire completion. The analytic sample included all Pregnancy Study Online participants who enrolled between March 2021 and December 2021 and was divided into 3 mutually-exclusive groups: (i) those who completed the baseline questionnaire only (ie, did not complete a follow-up questionnaire or the SQ), (ii) those who completed at least 1 follow-up questionnaire but not the SQ, and (iii) participants who completed the SQ (with or without a follow-up questionnaire). We compared sociodemographic, medical, lifestyle, and reproductive factors across these groups.ResultsOf the 1,491 enrolled participants, 302 (20.3%) completed the baseline questionnaire only, 259 (17.4%) completed a follow-up questionnaire but not the SQ, and 930 (62.4%) completed the SQ. Strong predictors of non-response (absolute difference in response &gt;10% comparing SQ responders to baseline-only responders) included longer pregnancy attempt time at study entry, a history of infertility, and lower income and education. Compared with response to the follow-up questionnaire only, SQ response was lower among Hispanic/Latina participants and participants aged &lt;25 years.Clinical translationThe addition of sexual health surveys to established cohort studies may be an effective way to expand epidemiologic sex research efforts.Strengths & limitationsStudy strengths include the prospective design, geographic heterogeneity of the cohort, and use of online methods. Our findings may not generalize to clinic-based sex research.ConclusionWe report that in an established North American cohort study, response to the SQ exceeded 60%. We observed few strong predictors for SQ non-response among engaged participants.
Evaluating Nebraska EMS Providers’ Ability and Willingness to Respond to Emergencies Resulting from Bioterrorist Attacks
Authors: Houser Ryan 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Objective:
Previous studies have found that public health systems within the United States are inadequately prepared for an act of biological terrorism. As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continues, few studies have evaluated bioterrorism preparedness of Emergency Medical Services (EMS), even in the accelerating environment of biothreats.

Methods:
This study utilized an Internet-based survey to assess the level of preparedness and willingness to respond to a bioterrorism attack and identify factors that predict preparedness and willingness among Nebraska EMS providers. The survey was available for 1 month in 2021 during which 190 EMS providers responded to the survey.

Results:
Only 56.8% of providers were able to recognize an illness or injury as potentially resulting from exposure to a biological agent. The provider Clinical Competency levels ranged from a low of 13.6% (ability to initiate patient care within his/her professional scope of practice and arrange for prompt referral appropriate to the identified condition(s)) to a high of 74% (the ability to respond to an emergency within the emergency management system of his/her practice, institution, and community). Only 10% of the respondents were both willing and able to effectively function in a bioterror environment.

Conclusion:
To effectively prepare for and respond to a bioterrorist attack, all levels of the health care system need to have the clinical skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to treat patients exposed to biological agents. Policy changes and increased focus on training and drills are needed to ensure a prepared EMS system, which is crucial to a resilient state. EMS entities need to be aware of the extent of their available workforce so that the country can be prepared for the increasing threat of bioterrorism or other novel emerging infectious disease outbreaks. A resilient nation relies on a prepared set of EMS providers who are willing to respond to biological terrorism events.
Transatlantic Catholic Gap: Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde and John Courtney Murray on State and Society - Discussed: Religion, Law, and Democracy: Selected Writings. By Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde.

AbstractIn comparing the works of two major Catholic thinkers, John Courtney Murray (1904–1967) and Ernst-Wolfgang Böckenförde (1930–2019), one finds an example of the divergences between European-continental Catholic and US Catholic concepts of the state and society. This divergence has become more evident in the context of the rise of American Catholics in politics and in the context of the crisis of the post–World War II liberal political order, but they have been at the heart of different Catholic intellectual traditions for quite some time. A comparative analysis of Murray and Böckenförde helps to explain the role of US Catholicism in the crisis of American democracy and the complexity of the reception of Vatican II in political theology in different Catholic Churches around the world.
Gaphara – Minna villa Marci- Ras Chacra – Gasr Jafara : processus de changements toponymiques au fil des siècles ou diversité de sites ?
Authors: Abdouli Hafed , Ahmed Muftah 
Published: September 2022

AbstractCrossing literary evidence with archaeological data, we discuss the history of a site known as ‘Marsa Djazira’ by following the evolution of its toponym. During the Phoenician-Punic era, this site was described as a city/urban establishment with a harbour known as ‘Gaphara’. In late Roman times its name was most likely changed to ‘Minna Villa Marsi’, as the Marsi family of the aristocracy of Leptis Magna probably built a luxury residence (villa) and exploited the port to export olive products from its estates in the hinterland of Leptis Magna. In the Middle Ages, the site underwent another toponymic change to ‘Ras Chacra’ and became an official maritime station (port) on the shipping lanes. In the late Middle Ages, the ancient toponym ‘Gaphara’ reappeared again with a slight distortion as ‘Gasr Jafara/Djefara’. This last name was known when the site was already ruined and abandoned.
Markov blankets as boundary conditions: Sweeping dirt under the rug still cleans the house
Authors: Sánchez-Cañizares Javier 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Bruineberg et al. underestimate the ontological weight of Markov blankets as actual boundaries of systems and lean toward an instrumentalist understanding thereof. Yet Markov blankets need not be deemed mere tools. Determining their reality depends on the fundamental problem of distinguishing between system and environment in physics, which, in turn, demands a metaphysical bedrock backed by a realist stance on science.
Boundaries and borders gone! But life goes on
Authors: Nave Kathryn 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Unlike machines, living systems are distinguished by the continual destruction and regeneration of their boundaries and other components. Stable Markov blankets may be a real feature of the world, or they may be merely a construction of particular models, but they are neither a feature of organisms nor of any model that can capture the necessary conditions of their existence.
Causal surgery under a Markov blanket
Authors: Yon Daniel , Corlett Philip Robert 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Bruineberg et al. provide compelling clarity on the roles Markov blankets could (and perhaps should) play in the study of life and mind. However, here we draw attention to a further role blankets might play: as a hypothesis about cognition itself. People and other animals may use blanket-like representations to model the boundary between themselves and their worlds.
Enough blanket metaphysics, time for data-driven heuristics
Authors: Rorot Wiktor , Korbak Tomasz , Litwin Piotr , Miłkowski Marcin 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Bruineberg and colleagues criticisms' have been received but downplayed in the free energy principle (FEP) literature. We strengthen their points, arguing that Friston blanket discovery, even if tractable, requires a full formal description of the system of interest at the outset. Hence, blanket metaphysics is futile, and we postulate that researchers should turn back to heuristic uses of Pearl blankets.
The world is not enough: New diplomacy and dilemmas for the World Heritage Convention at 50
Authors: Meskell Lynn , Liuzza Claudia 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn this article, we reflect on the current socio-political context of the 1972 World Heritage Convention after 50 years rather than its significant achievements and trials throughout its turbulent history. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has already documented and publicized these formative episodes. Instead, we consider the World Heritage milieu today, embedded as it is within a much broader landscape of non-governmental organizations and civil society preservation initiatives than it was five decades ago. Like other United Nations agencies, UNESCO now faces challenges arising from various types of re-spatialization beyond the nation-state that further impact its effectiveness. Those challenges encompass not only the expansive force of globalization but also regionalization and localization, all of which have given rise to a new diplomacy. We discuss the proliferation of competing international agencies and individual donors, then describe the dilemmas facing World Heritage, including the rise of non-state actors and post-conflict remediation in the Middle East, the limited recognition of Indigenous Peoples and their role in decision making, and the persistent failures to remedy the inequitable position of Africa as a priority region.
The Impact of Assisted Hatching on Monozygotic Twinning is Related to Female Age and Insemination Method: A New Perspective

Published: September 2022

AbstractWhether assisted hatching (AH) is associated with a higher incidence of monozygotic twinning (MZT) in women undergoing assisted reproductive technology remains controversial; the aim of the study was to demonstrate the relationship between AH and MZT. A total of 8900 clinical pregnancies were selected among embryo transfer cycles from January 2011 to October 2019. Women receiving day (D) 3 embryos were divided into groups A–C: group A (n = 1651) and group B (n = 1045) included women aged ≤37 or ≥38 years, respectively, with zona pellucida (ZP) thinning; group C (n = 3865) included women aged ≤37 years without AH. Women aged ≤37 years who underwent blastocyst transfer and/or blastocyst ZP breaching were included in group D (n = 2339). The incidence of MZT was compared among groups A, B and C, and between groups C and D. The incidence of MZT in group B (2.2%) was significantly higher than in group A (1.0%), especially following intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), while the incidence of MZT in group A (1.0%) was significantly lower than in group C (2.2%). The MZT rate with in vitro fertilization was higher in group D (2.8%) than in group C (2.2%), but the MZT rate following ICSI was not significantly different between the two groups. ZP thinning of D3 embryos may increase the risk of MZT in older women (≥38 years), but decrease it in younger women (≤37 years). ZP breaching may be useful to reduce the incidence of MZT in ICSI-generated blastocysts.
