Authors: Ong Qin Soo , Yang Hui Zhu , Kuek Jonathan Han Loong , Goh Yong Shian 
Published: October 2022

Accessible SummaryWhat is known on the subject

Peer‐support services was started in the 1970s psychiatric survivor movement in the United States of America (USA) due to the lack of transitional support for deinstitutionalized psychiatric patients.

Delivered by peer‐support workers (PSWs) with lived experiences of mental health conditions, peer‐support workers use their experiential knowledge to help others with similar conditions.

The paradigm shifts in mental health recovery has led to an increase in interest on peer‐support services among the Asia countries.

What the paper adds to existing knowledge?

The diversity political and cultural differences in Asia makes it a unique for people to understand the mental health ecosystem that exist within.

This review is timely as it provides the insights into the current state of peer‐support services for mental health consumers in Asia and the future research on them.

What are the implications for practice?

First, this review provided a broad overview on the current types of peer‐support services and their implementation in Asia.

Second, emphasized the importance and value of peer‐support services for individuals with mental health conditions in their journey towards recovery.

Third, important to build a more positive image for peer‐support workers by assigning more clarity to their roles and systematizing training to hone their skills in providing peer support.

AbstractIntroductionThe increasing recognition and need for recovery‐oriented services led to the heightened interests of peer‐support services globally, including Asia. However, little is known about the peer‐support services in Asia as compared to the West, where peer‐support services primarily originated from and are well established.AimTo examine available evidence on the implementation of peer‐support services for such consumers in Asia.MethodThis scoping review was based on the Arksey & O′Malley's framework. A comprehensive search was performed across seven electronic databases. The grey literature was also searched through Open Grey and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses, alongside hand searching of the reference of the studies. Articles searched was from January 2000 to December 2021.ResultsThree main themes were identified to provide an overview on peer‐support services for mental health consumers in Asia: the delivery of such services in Asia; Asian consumers' perceptions of them; and factors affecting their implementation.DiscussionGiven their relative novelty in Asia, findings from this review represent useful insights for organizations and policy administrators when formulating such services.Implications for PracticeFuture research should also focus on evaluating the effectiveness of such services in Asia and comparing their outcomes with other regions.

AbstractThis research aimed to assess the impact of probiotic supplementation in the broiler diet on growth performance, nutrient utilization, noxious gas emissions, excreta micromiota and meat quality. One thousand six hundred and twenty male Ross 380 broilers (one‐day‐old, body weight, 42 ± 0.5 g and 5‐week trial) were arbitrarily chosen and assigned to three nutritive treatments (basal diet and basal diet included with 0.1%, and 0.2% probiotic mixture [Bacillus subtilis 7.0 × 107 cfu/g, Bacillus licheniformis 4.1 × 107 cfu/g]) with 30 duplicates (18 birds each). Probiotic inclusion linearly increased (p < 0.05) broiler body weight gain (BWG) during Phases 1, 2 and the overall period and decreased (p < 0.05) feed conversion ratio (FCR) linearly on Phase 2 and the overall period. However, feed intake (FI) and mortality rate remained unaffected (p > 0.05). Though nutrient digestibility of nitrogen (N) tendency to increase (p < 0.05), dry matter (DM) and energy (E) did not influence (p > 0.05). Inclusion of a probiotic supplement linearly increased (p < 0.05) Lactobacillus and reduced Salmonella (p < 0.05) counts in broilers. Moreover, broilers fed a diet supplement with probiotic addition linearly decreased (p < 0.05) NH3, H2S, C2O and acetic acid emissions. The graded level of probiotic addition linearly reduced (p < 0.05) cooking loss and the tendency to decrease (p < 0.05) weight of bursa of Fabricius, but had no effect (p > 0.05) on other meat quality measures. These findings indicated that increasing the level of probiotics in feed could improve growth efficiency, nutrient absorption, microbial index, meat quality and reduce gas emissions in broilers.

Published: October 2022

AbstractObjectiveThis investigation explored oral‐gut microbial signatures with potential to distinguish among periodontal conditions.Background DataThe interplay between the oral and gut microbiomes may be a critical pathway linking periodontal diseases and systemic inflammatory disorders. The mechanisms by which oral microorganisms translocate to the gut and cause microbial dysbiosis, favoring an inflammatory state, are still unknown. As a first approach, characterization of oral‐gut microbial profiles associated with periodontal health and diseases can provide insights on such mechanisms of etiology and pathogenesis.MethodsFecal and saliva samples from individuals with periodontal health (PH, 8), gingivitis (GG, 17), and periodontitis (PD, 24) were analyzed for their microbial composition by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Microbial taxa were compared and correlated to periodontal parameters. Multivariate discriminant analysis (MDA) was carried out to identify profiles related to health and disease.ResultsFew significant differences in oral‐gut taxa were detected among clinical groups, although increase in fecal Fusobacterium nucleatum ss vincentii and salivary Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Parvimonas micra, and Fretibacterium sp. HMT358 were strongly correlated with deep pockets and inflammation (p < .01). Over 50% of the fecal microbiota comprised microorganisms shared between oral and gut sites, whereas oral taxa were detected in approximately 9%, particularly enriched in GG fecal samples (p = .04). Trends for lower fecal richness and higher salivary diversity in PD compared to PH were observed. MDA was able to classify correctly 82% of the patients into the clinical groups. Main classifiers of periodontitis were high BMI, older age, and enrichment of oral‐fecal Leptotrichia sp. HMT4, Peptostreptococcus stomatis, Dialister invisus, and a novel Lautropia sp. HMTC89‐like organism.ConclusionWithin the limitations of an exploratory investigation, specific profiles of oral‐gut taxa, including known and potential novel organisms, combined with social‐demographic features were able to discriminate individuals with periodontal diseases in this study population.
Evidence‐based strategies to navigate complexity in dietary DNA metabarcoding: A reply

Published: October 2022

AbstractIt is clearly beneficial to eliminate low‐abundance sequences that arise in error during dietary DNA metabarcoding studies, but to purge all low‐abundance sequences is to risk eliminating real sequences and complicating ecological analyses. Our prior literature review noted that DNA sequence relative read abundance (RRA) thresholds can help ameliorate false‐positive taxon occurrences, but that historical emphasis on this utility has fostered uncertainty about the associated risk of inflating the false‐negative rate (Littleford‐Colquhoun et al., 2022). To address this, we combined a simulation study and an empirical data set to both illustrate the issue and provide blueprints for simulation studies and sensitivity analyses that can help investigators avoid overcorrecting and thereby bolster confidence in ecological inferences. Awareness of both the costs and the benefits of abundance‐filtering is needed because accurately characterizing dietary distributions can be critically important for understanding animal diets, nutrition and trophic networks. Highlighting the need to raise awareness, a critique of our paper emphasized the misleading notion that “false positive interactions between species can present fundamentally incorrect network structures in network ecology, whereas false negatives will provide a correct but incomplete version of the network” (Tercel & Cuff, 2022). Asserting that the reliability of results will be eroded by false positives but resilient to the omission of true positives is risky and runs counter to evidence. Unfortunately, abundance‐filtering methods can introduce false negatives at higher rates than they eliminate false positives and thereby undermine the analysis of otherwise reliable sequencing data. Overcorrecting can qualitatively alter and ultimately undermine ecological interpretations.

Published: October 2022

AbstractAlthough vicariant processes are expected to leave similar genomic signatures among codistributed taxa, ecological traits such as habitat and stratum can influence genetic divergence within species. Here, we combined landscape history and habitat specialization to understand the historical and ecological factors responsible for current levels of genetic divergence in three species of birds specialized in seasonally flooded habitats in muddy rivers and which are widespread in the Amazon basin but have isolated populations in the Rio Branco. Populations of the white‐bellied spinetail (Mazaria propinqua), lesser wagtail‐tyrant (Stigmatura napensis) and bicolored conebill (Conirostrum bicolor) are currently isolated in the Rio Branco by the black‐waters of the lower Rio Negro, offering a unique opportunity to test the effect of river colour as a barrier to gene flow. We used ultraconserved elements (UCEs) to test alternative hypotheses of population history in a comparative phylogeographical approach by modelling genetic structure, demographic history and testing for shared divergence time among codistributed taxa. Our analyses revealed that (i) all three populations from the Rio Branco floodplains are genetically distinct from other populations along the Amazon River floodplains; (ii) these divergences are the result of at least two distinct events, consistent with species habitat specialization; and (iii) the most likely model of population evolution includes lower population connectivity during the Late Pleistocene transition (~250,000 years ago), with gene flow being completely disrupted after the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 years ago). Our findings highlight how landscape evolution modulates population connectivity in habitat specialist species and how organisms can have different responses to the same historical processes of environmental change, depending on their habitat affinity.
Philosophical underpinnings of intersubjectivity and its significance to phenomenological research: A discussion paper
Authors: Tembo Agness Chisanga , Gullick Janice , Pendon Joseph Francis 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIntersubjectivity is the proposition that human experience occurs in a world of shared and embodied understandings, mediated by culture and language. Nursing is fundamentally relational, and nursing research stems from an exchange between participants and researchers and indeed around the transaction of the patient and the nurse in the intersubjective space of clinical settings. Through the philosophical standpoints of Husserl, Merleau‐Ponty, Heidegger, and Gadamer we examine these differing philosophical constructs of intersubjectivity and the contribution of these positions to phenomenological nursing inquiry. Particular framings of intersubjectivity should influence the way researchers interact with their participants and data so that the chosen philosophy sits coherently within a research plan and methodology. This exploration of philosophical standpoints is extended through examples of, and reflections upon, the authors' experiences of intersubjectivity in our published phenomenological nursing studies and through dynamic interactions that characterise interpretive activities within a research team.
Identification Robust Empirical Evidence on the Open Economy IS‐Curve
Authors: Haque Qazi , Magnusson Leandro M. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractExisting empirical evidence on the Euler equation based on closed economy models suggests low responsiveness of aggregate consumption to changes in interest rates. We incorporate open economy features and consider extensions that include habit formation and hand‐to‐mouth consumers. For several open economies and applying econometric methods that are robust to weak instruments and structural changes, we continue to find low values for the elasticity of intertemporal substitution, implying a small effect of real interest rate changes on aggregate income. In some countries, structural changes are informative for identification, but otherwise aggregate data provide limited information to learn about IS‐curve specifications.
Targeting cellular metabolism in head and neck cancer precision medicine era: A promising strategy to overcome therapy resistance

Published: October 2022

AbstractHead and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is among the most prevalent cancer worldwide, with the most severe impact on quality of life of patients. Despite the development of multimodal therapeutic approaches, the clinical outcomes of HNSCC are still unsatisfactory, mainly caused by relatively low responsiveness to treatment and severe drug resistance. Metabolic reprogramming is currently considered to play a pivotal role in anticancer therapeutic resistance. This review aimed to define the specific metabolic programs and adaptations in HNSCC therapy resistance. An extensive literature review of HNSCC was conducted via the PubMed including metabolic reprogramming, chemo‐ or immune‐therapy resistance. Glucose metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism are closely related to the malignant biological characteristics of cancer, anti‐tumor drug resistance, and adverse clinical results. For HNSCC, pyruvate, lactate and almost all lipid categories are related to the occurrence and maintenance of drug resistance, and targeting amino acid metabolism can prevent tumor development and enhance the response of drug‐resistant tumors to anticancer therapy. This review will provide a better understanding of the altered metabolism in therapy resistance of HNSCC and promote the development of new therapeutic strategies against HNSCC, thereby contribute to a more efficacious precision medicine.

Published: October 2022

AbstractConradi‐Hünermann‐Happle syndrome (CHHS) is a rare genodermatosis resulting from mutations in the EBP (emopamil binding protein) gene. Dermatologic manifestations may include cicatricial alopecia, ichthyosis, follicular atrophoderma, pigmentary abnormalities, and nail dystrophy. In addition to genetic testing and clinical findings, trichoscopic findings may aid in the diagnosis. In this case report, we discuss the trichoscopic findings in a 3‐year‐old girl with CHHS and how these findings help us understand the pathophysiology of this disease.
Smart oceans governance: Reconfiguring capitalist, colonial, and environmental relations
Authors: Ritts Max , Simpson Michael 
Published: October 2022

AbstractHow does the digitisation of the ocean reconfigure capitalist, colonial, and environmental relations? What analytic tools allow us to trace their intersecting dynamics? These are the central questions that we take up through an examination of smart oceans governance along the west coast of Canada, where the state is developing new institutional partnerships to manage the expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure across unceded Indigenous lands and waters. In this context, laden with environmental risks and resurgent anti‐colonial politics, state actors are implicating smart oceans governance in efforts to harmonise capitalist growth with sustainability mandates and the ‘recognition’ of Indigenous self‐determination. Our analysis draws on environmental state theory, critical indigenous studies, and human geographies of the ocean, to analyse interviews, Access to Information requests, scientific studies, and policy reports. Our findings suggest that smart oceans governance poses novel risks to Indigenous peoples and their distinctive ‘seascape epistemologies’. At the same time, we observe in this medium new limits to the state's ability to consolidate settler colonial authority and extend possessive colonial entitlements to Indigenous lands and waters. First Nations are also engaging with smart oceans governance in ways that assert ‘Indigenous data sovereignty’, help chart their own political and territorial ambitions, and carve out meaningful spaces of Indigenous marine stewardship.
An Efficient Quantification Method Based on Feature Selection for High-Dimensional Uncertainties of Multistage Compressors

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Multistage compressors are widely used in aero-engines, gas turbines, and industrial compressors. However, many inevitable geometric/condition uncertainties will lead to low manufacturing qualified rate and severe performance degradation of multistage compressors. There might be hundreds of uncertainty variables simultaneously, so the “curse of dimensionality” problem has seriously constrained the uncertainty quantification (UQ) study in multistage compressors. In this paper, a feature selection method based on interpretable machine learning and bidirectional search is developed to reduce the dimensionality in a multistage compressor UQ study. The method is applied to a three-stage compressor and reduces the uncertainties dimensionality from 292 to 41 and 66 for mass flow rate and efficiency prediction. Consequently, the required sample size is reduced from 1674 to 160 with the model accuracy almost unchanged. For the first time, this study realizes the UQ modeling study on the high dimensional problem of a multistage compressor. In addition, significant stage-by-stage uncertainty propagation is found in the compressor. The last stage has the most significant efficiency deviation, which is significantly affected by the geometric uncertainty of the first two stages. Therefore, traditional studies, which usually simplify the multistage compressor UQ problem to a single cascade/row level, may seriously underestimate the uncertainty effect due to the neglect of stage-by-stage propagation. This study not only reveals the necessity for direct UQ study of multistage compressors but also reduces the computational cost, which lays a foundation for the uncertainty control of multistage compressors in engineering practice.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Uses of functionally graded materials (FGMs) are increasing owing to recent development in manufacturing technologies. Large deflection of beams that made of nonlinearly elastic, Ludwick's type of material, and also FGMs has received considerable critical attention during recent years. However, the precise effect of a number of laminae on both vertical and horizontal deflection of the beam in the finite element analysis (FEA) is unknown. Here, we examined the large deflections of a cantilever beam that was subjected to various loading conditions and made of nonlinearly elastic, modified Ludwick's type of material using FEA. The direction-dependent material properties in the functionally graded material and nonlinearity from modified Ludwick's law are combined in the analysis using Marlow's material model. Our results show that the gradient function and the number of laminae have significant effects on normal stress distribution along the horizontal axis and both vertical and horizontal deflection of the beam.
Effect of Humid Tropical Climate and Electrical Current on the Electrical Sliding Wear Behavior of Graphite Brush in Motor

Published: October 2022

Abstract
The commutator and brush of the motor are often worn during operation. The wear of commutator—brushes is influenced by various factors: current density, material, sliding speed, contact force, temperature, and environmental humidity, especially by humid tropical climate conditions. This affects directly wear, long life, and the reliability of commutator—brushes. This paper presents the results of the electrical sliding wear behavior of the graphite brushes when the temperature, the humidity of the humid tropical environment, and current change. According to experimental planning, the studies were conducted on graphite brushes with three input factors: the temperature of 25 °C, 40 °C, and 55 °C, relative humidity (RH) of 51%, 75%, and 99%, and current 5 A, 7.5 A, and 10 A. The results show that the specific wear-rate Ws increases when relative humidity, temperature, and current increase. When the brush works in extreme conditions, the specific wear-rate Ws will reach the maximum value and equal to about 5.37 times the Ws value in the best conditions in this experiment.
Tibetan Plateau insights into &gt;1100 °C crustal melting in the Quaternary

Published: October 2022

AbstractPartial melting during high-temperature to ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metamorphism facilitates crustal differentiation, element transfer, and the evolution of topography in orogens, however the mechanisms that drive heating of Earth’s crust remain controversial. We provide new evidence from ca. 2.3 Ma dacites in the Tibetan Plateau, representing the youngest known UHT metamorphic event. Our results show that these dacites were mainly generated by fluid-absent melting of metasedimentary rocks and minor mafic rocks at peak temperatures of 1100–1150 °C and pressures of 0.8–0.9 GPa. The dacites represent mixtures of UHT melts and granulite residues and are geochemically similar to A-type granites with extremely high heat-production values (5.33–5.99 μW m–3). Compared with the geological and geophysical observations, numerical modeling indicates that the key factor determining the thermal evolution of Tibet is the thickness of the radioactive layer. Orogens dominated by rocks of felsic composition, like Tibet, could easily reach UHT conditions within a short period of time (20–40 m.y.) after crustal thickening by radioactive heating, without the need for an additional tectonic mechanism.
