Work family conflict, family work conflicts and work‐related quality of life: The effect of rotating versus fixed shifts
Authors: Al‐Hammouri Mohammed Munther , Rababah Jehad A. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAims and ObjectiveThis study examined the difference between rotating and fixed shift schedules on work–family conflict, family–work conflict and work‐related quality of life.BackgroundThere is a lack of evidence regarding the effect of rotating shifts on work–family conflict, family–work conflict and work‐related quality of life among nurses.DesignA cross‐sectional design was used to conduct this study.MethodsData were collected from 216 nurses using the Work and Family Conflict Scale and Work‐Related Quality of Life. Bivariate correlations and independent samples t‐tests were performed. The results of the current study were reported using the STROBE checklist.ResultsBivariate correlations showed that work‐related family quality of life is negatively associated with work–family and family–work conflicts. The mean differences between the two groups (rotating and fixed shifts) were significant for all three variables: work–family conflicts, family–work conflicts and work‐related quality of life.ConclusionsRotating shifts are associated with an increased risk of experiencing work–family and family–work conflicts and decreasing their quality of working life, which may adversely affect the quality of care provided.Relevance to the Clinical PracticeThe effect of shift types on nurses and how rotating shifts have more severe consequences on nurses should be considered. Nurse managers are encouraged to use the findings of this study to mitigate the risk of any work–family or family–work conflicts and improve nurses' work‐related quality of life.Patient or Public ContributionThe chief nursing officers at the data collection settings facilitated direct contact with potential participants and data collection.
An ancient enzyme finds a new home: Prevalence and neofunctionalization of trypsin in marine phytoplankton
Authors: You Yanchun , Sun Xueqiong , Lin Senjie 
Published: November 2022

Trypsin is an ancient protease best known as a digestive enzyme in animals, and traditionally believed to be absent in plants and protists. However, our recent studies have revealed its wide presence and important roles in marine phytoplankton. Here, to gain a better understanding on the importance of trypsin in phytoplankton, we further surveyed the distribution, diversity, evolution and potential ecological roles of trypsin in global ocean phytoplankton. Our analysis indicated that trypsin is widely distributed both taxonomically and geographically in marine phytoplankton. Furthermore, by systematic comparative analyses we found that algal trypsin could be classified into two subfamilies (trypsin I and trypsin II) and exhibited highly duplicated and diversified during evolution. We also observed markedly different domain sequences and organizations between and within the subfamilies, suggesting potential neofunctionalization. Diatoms contain both subfamilies of trypsin, with higher numbers of genes and more environment‐responsive expression of trypsin than other lineages. The duplication and subsequent neofunctionalization of the trypsin family may be important in diatoms for adapting to dynamical environmental conditions, contributing to diatoms' dominance in the coastal oceans. This work advances our knowledge on the distribution and neofunctionalization of this ancient enzyme and creates a new window of research on phytoplankton biology.

AbstractLow coverage of effective nutrition interventions in many high‐burden countries, due to service provision and demand factors, result in poor uptake of recommended practices and nutrition outcomes. We examined the factors that influence maternal nutrition and early breastfeeding practices and determined the extent that the key factors could improve these practices in two regions in Burkina Faso. We used household survey data among pregnant (n = 920) and recently delivered women (n = 1840). Multivariable regression analyses were conducted to identify the determinants of a diverse diet and iron‐folic acid (IFA) supplement consumption, weight monitoring during pregnancy and early initiation of breastfeeding (EIBF). Population attributable risk analysis was used to estimate how much the outcomes can be improved under optimal conditions of interventions that address the modifiable determinants. During pregnancy, 21% of women achieved minimum diet diversity (MDD‐W), 70% consumed 90+ IFA tablets and 65% were weighed 4+ times; EIBF was 40%. Nutrition knowledge was associated with MDD‐W (odds ratio [OR]: 3.2), 90+ IFA (OR: 1.5) and EIBF (OR: 1.9). Positive social norms and family support were associated with 90+ IFA (OR: 1.5). Early and 4+ ANC visits were associated with 90+ IFA (OR: 1.5 and 10) and 4+ weight monitoring (OR: 6.2). Nutrition counselling was associated with 90+ IFA (OR: 2.5) and EIBF (OR: 1.5). Under optimal programme conditions, 41% of women would achieve MDD‐W, 93% would consume 90+ IFA, 93% would be weighed 4+ times and 57% would practice EIBF. Strengthening the delivery and uptake of interventions targeted at these modifiable factors has the potential to improve maternal nutrition practices.

AbstractIn human‐altered landscapes, specialist butterflies typically form spatially restricted populations, genetically differentiated due to dispersal restrictions. Generalists, in contrast, display minimum differentiation but high genetic diversity. While local‐level actions suffice to conserve specialists and landscape‐level actions are necessary for generalists, minimum information exists regarding conservation of species with intermediate features. We targeted two congeneric butterflies, the recently re‐expandingArgynnis adippeand the strongly decliningA. niobe, co‐occurring in the pastoral landscape of the Carpathian Mountains, Czech Republic. We integrated species distribution models, mark–recapture and microsatellite analysis to compare their habitat requirements, adult demography, dispersal and genetic patterns, and expanded the genetic analysis across the Carpathian Arc and beyond to delimit spatial conservation units. In two mountain valleys, both species formed interconnected populations numbering thousands of individuals. Mobility patterns suggested the populations' interconnection across the Czech Carpathians. Genetic diversity was extremely poor in the nonthreatenedA. adippeand moderate in the decliningA. niobe. No population differentiation was detected within the Czech Carpathians (~1500 km2). Low genetic diversity and no differentiation was preserved inA. adippeacross East Central Europe, whereas inA. niobe, populations from Serbia were differentiated from the Carpathian Arc + Alps. The high adult mobility linked to low differentiation probably reflects the distribution of larval resources, historically widespread but sparse and currently declining forA. niobe(grazing‐disturbed grounds), while currently increasing forA. adippe(abandonment scrub, disturbed woodlands). Units as large as entire mountain systems define population boundaries, and hence conservation management units, for both species.

AbstractBackgroundBeta Trace Protein (BTP) is a biomarker for residual kidney function which has been linked to cardiovascular and all‐cause mortality in haemodialysis patients. Following renal transplantation, recipients remain at increased risk for cardiovascular events compared with the general population. We aimed to determine the relationship of pre‐transplant BTP to major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in patients following kidney transplantation.MethodsWe included 384 patients with end‐stage renal disease who received a kidney transplant. MACE was defined as myocardial infarction (ST‐segment elevation or non‐ST‐segment elevation, stroke or transient ischemic attack), coronary artery disease requiring intervention or bypass or death for cardiovascular reason. The association between pre‐transplant serum BTP concentration and post‐transplant MACE was evaluated by Kaplan–Meier and Cox regression analyses.ResultsPost‐transplant MACE occurred in 70/384 patients. Pre‐transplant BTP was significantly higher in patients with post‐transplant MACE (14.36 ± 5.73 mg/l vs. 11.26 ± 5.11 mg/l; p < .01). Next to smoking (HR 1.81), age > 56.38 years (HR 1.97) and pre‐existing coronary heart disease (HR 8.23), BTP above the cut off value of 12.7 mg/l was confirmed as independent risk factor for MACE (HR 2.02, all p < .05). MACE‐free survival inversely correlated with pre‐transplant BTP levels.ConclusionsPre‐transplant serum BTP concentration may identify renal transplant recipients with higher risk of post‐transplant MACE.
Pachyosteosclerosis, rhamphotheca and enhanced sensory capabilities of the premaxillae of Hyperodapedon (Archosauromorpha, Rhynchosauria): implications for foraging at the sediment–water interface
Authors: Mukherjee Debarati , Ray Sanghamitra 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe external morphology and microanatomy of 32 partial and complete Hyperodapedon premaxillae was examined to assess their functional attributes. This revealed morphological correlates for innervation of Hyperodapedon premaxillae in the form of posteriorly opening enlarged neurovascular foramina associated with several grooves, and a prominent neurovascular sulcus. Scanning electron microscopy shows numerous small, circular foramina in clusters along the lateroventral surface towards the anterior tip and along the ventral edge, often in a preferred orientation. These are found associated with high rugosity along the elongated anterolateral depression, and were related to nutrient supply and/or part of the neurovascular system. Selected premaxillae show extremely high bone compactness indices (especially at the anterior end) suggesting specialized osteosclerotic conditions, and dense and compact bone microstructure with almost no clear transition between the outer compact cortex and inner core. With ontogeny, the premaxillae became lateromedially thickened by deposition of lamellar zonal bone, and highly vascularized and dense from intense Haversian remodelling, suggesting pachyosteosclerosis of the premaxillae. Other characteristic features include profuse open vascular channels or a frayed margin at the anteroventral tip, and dense bundles of long and wavy extrinsic fibres. These features, along with high bone compactness, decrease posteriorly towards the naris. It is proposed that the Hyperodapedon premaxillae were covered by keratinized epithelium or rhamphotheca at the anterior end, and had heightened sensory capabilities that aided foraging for mussels and other invertebrates in soft sediments under shallow water. Such enhanced sensory capability is reported for the first time in an early‐diverging archosauromorph.
The applications of cryoneurolysis for acute and chronic pain management

Published: November 2022

AbstractBackgroundCryoneurolysis is a term used to describe the application of extreme cold to targeted nerve tissue. The primary goal of the application of a thermal neurolytic technique is to disrupt the conduction of pain signals from the periphery to the central nervous system and eliminate or diminish the experience of pain. Recent advancements in ultrasound technology coupled with the development and approval of handheld devices specifically designed to deliver cryoneurolysis has expanded the use of this modality in the perioperative setting.ApplicationSurgical procedures including total knee arthroplasties, shoulder arthroplasties, thoracotomies, and mastectomies have all demonstrated long‐term pain relief benefits when cryoneurolysis has been administered days to weeks prior to the planned procedure. In addition, the newly designed handheld device allows for office‐based clinical use and has been utilized for various chronic pain conditions including neuropathic and phantom limb pain.ConclusionThe evidence clearly demonstrates that cryoneurolysis has a low risk profile and when administered appropriately, provides prolonged analgesia without promoting motor blockade. This narrative review article describes the unique mechanism of action of cryoneurolysis for prolonged pain relief and provides emerging evidence to support its applications in both acute and chronic pain management.

AbstractBackgroundPediatric recipients of living donor kidneys have a low rate of delayed graft function (DGF). We examined the incidence, risk factors and outcomes of DGF in pediatric patients who received a living donor allograft.MethodsThe STARfile was queried to examine all pediatric patients transplanted with a living donor kidney between 2000 and 2020. Donor and recipient demographic data were examined, as were survival and outcomes. Recipients were stratified into DGF and no DGF groups. DGF was defined as the need for dialysis within the first week after transplant.Results6480 pediatric patients received a living donor (LD) kidney transplant during the study period. 269 (4.2%) developed DGF post‐transplant. Donors were similar in age, creatinine, and cold ischemia time. Recipients of kidneys with DGF were similar in age, sensitization status and HLA mismatch. Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was the most common diagnosis in recipients with DGF, and allograft thrombosis was the most common cause of graft loss in this group. Small recipients (weight < 15 kg) were found to have a significantly higher rate of DGF. Length of stay doubled in recipients with DGF, and rejection rates were higher post‐transplant. Recipients of LD kidneys who developed DGF had significantly worse 1 year allograft survival (67% vs. 98%, p < .0001).ConclusionsPediatric living donor kidney transplant recipients who experience DGF have significantly poorer allograft survival. Optimizing the donor and recipient matching to avoid compounding risks may allow for better outcomes.

AbstractObjectivesThis paper presents findings from our collaborative research on the perceptions and preferences of people experiencing homelessness regarding outreach nursing services.MethodWe conducted qualitative research using a critical ethnography approach.SampleA total of 15 participants were interviewed individually (n = 12 people experiencing homelessness) and in focus groups (n = 3 care providers). We also conducted direct observation.ResultsThis paper focuses on one of the core categories that emerged from the data analysis “Perception of Health Care.” This category emerged from the following three subcategories, which we will present in this paper: (1) Conflicting Relationships with Institutional Health Services; (2) Perception of Outreach Services; (3) Recommendations from Mobile Clinic Users.ConclusionThere are a range of perceptions of health services among people experiencing homelessness. Some are satisfied with the care received in the public health system, while many have experienced dehumanizing practices. Overall, outreach services are a promising strategy to reach people who are not served by the traditional modes of care delivery. Based on our findings, we suggest several key practices to personalize and adapt healthcare services and foster inclusive environments to better serve people experiencing homelessness.
Penicillin and amikacin mixture has bactericidal activity equivalent to gentamicin, tylosin, lincomycin and spectinomycin mixture in equine frozen semen

AbstractNeat stallion semen can contain a variety of microorganisms, some of which may impair sperm quality and/or cause infection of the mares' reproductive tract. For this reason, antibiotics are commonly added to semen extenders. A combination of gentamicin, tylosin, lincomycin and spectinomycin (GTLS) has been recommended for use, but there are no reports on the use of this mixture in equine semen extender. Penicillin and amikacin (PA) are safe for preserving sperm quality while effectively controlling bacterial growth in equine cooled stored semen, but data on frozen semen are scarce. Therefore, a bioequivalence study was performed to assess the bactericidal activity of GTLS and PA in equine frozen semen. Nine mature, healthy stallions were used in the study. Split ejaculates were processed using media without antibiotics (Control) or with different antibiotics. For the GTLS group, centrifugation medium and freezing extender were prepared with gentamicin 250 μg/ml, tylosin 50 μg/ml, lincomycin 150 μg/ml and spectinomycin 300 μg/ml. For the PA group, the centrifugation medium was prepared with potassium penicillin G (PPG) 1200 units/ml and the freezing extender was prepared with PPG 1200 units/ml and amikacin 500 μg/ml. Semen processed in extenders without antibiotics had higher (p < .005) bacterial loads throughout all cryopreservation processing steps than semen samples processed using antibiotics. There were no differences in semen bacterial load after centrifugation, 15 and 30 min after final extension, and after thawing between GTLS and PA groups, but PA had faster (p < .05) kill‐time kinetics than GTLS. Only minor differences in sperm kinetic parameters were observed among groups. In conclusion, this study demonstrated bioequivalence between GTLS and PA in mitigating end‐point bacterial loads. Prudent concentrations of the antibiotic mixtures evaluated in this study can be considered both effective and sperm‐safe for equine frozen semen.
Casting the net wider? The transformative potential of integrating human rights into the implementation of the WTO Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies
Authors: Switzer Stephanie , Morgera Elisa , Webster Elaine 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe removal of harmful fisheries subsidies is essential to reverse unsustainable fisheries globally. This goal has now, in part, been met following the World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference in June 2022, which adopted an Agreement on Fisheries Subsidies. There is a vast literature on the trade law issues associated with fisheries subsidies, and much has been written on their detrimental environmental impacts. In this article, we take a different approach. We contextualize the elimination of harmful fisheries subsidies as part of the transformative change needed to reverse biodiversity loss, with the integration of human rights an essential precondition to such transformational processes. We develop a mutually supportive interpretation of international environmental law, international trade law and international human rights law, drawing on insights from regime interaction scholarship, to argue for reliance on human rights in the implementation of the historic agreement on the elimination of certain forms of harmful fisheries subsidies.
Explaining the rise of populism in European democracies 1980–2018: The role of labor market institutions and inequality
Authors: Bergh Andreas , Kärnä Anders 
Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectivesThis article aims to find country‐level factors that explain the rise of populist parties in European democracies. While populism is often connected to inequality, we not that right‐wing populist parties tend to thrive on fear, including fear of job loss. If flexible labor markets mean that unemployment is dedramatized because finding a new job is easier, labor market flexibility could dampen populism and inequality may be less important.MethodsWe run country‐level fixed effects regressions on populist party vote shares in 26 European countries from 1980 to 2018. We use two different classifications of right‐wing and left‐wing populist parties and control for employment protection strictness as measured by OECD, Gini coefficients of disposable income, and a large set of control variables.ResultsUnemployment is positively associated with left‐wing populism. Strict employment protection is positively associated with right‐wing populism. Gini inequality of income is unrelated to (both types of) populism.ConclusionStrong employment protection and low‐income inequality may not be the most efficient way to combat right‐wing populism. A strategy that promotes flexible labor markets, and job upgrading may be an alternative. More research on the link between labor market institutions and (in particular, right‐wing) populism is needed.
On Galen Strawson's central approach to the self
Authors: Hamdo Manhal 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThe crux of this paper is to provide a concentrated critical evaluation of Galen Strawson's innovative approach to the self. To that end, I will first attempt to concisely introduce his general thesis, which seems appropriate to be broken up into two major pieces: the phenomenology (experience) of the self, what the self would have to be; and the metaphysics of the self (i.e., a query refers to its metaphysics [its existence and nature]: whether there is any). Explaining and discussing Strawson's twofold account of the self is my first target in this paper. And it is with these two parts that I take issues. Accordingly, I shall determinedly try to develop a counterargument according to which Strawson's establishment of his entire enterprise of the self is based merely on unjustified intuitive generalisation. Next, I will put more effort into making some more argumentative points, mainly to show how his metaphysics does not give much thought to some vital matters of the self in comparison with the systems of metaphysics of his forebears of Western philosophers. What all this means is that Strawsonian metaphysical analysis of the self so conceived and so described appears philosophically to drive itself to justly be placed in an ahistorical context.
