The European Economic Area: Decision‐Shaping during the COVID‐19 Pandemic
Authors: Jonsdottir Johanna 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe COVID‐19 crisis provides important examples whereby Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway (the EEA EFTA States) deemed it necessary to influence the content of EU rules. Despite participating in the internal market through the EEA Agreement, they were not initially excluded from the EU's restrictions on the export of personal protective equipment and later the export of vaccines against COVID‐19, and they sought to reverse these decisions. This article explores how the EEA EFTA States influenced EU policy in this regard and which methods proved to be most effective. Did the nature of the COVID‐19 crisis have an impact on EU decision‐making processes as well as the methods and channels used by the EEA EFTA States? The EEA EFTA States’ relationship with the EU is also examined as it relates to their ability to influence EU legislation and the legitimacy of such influence.
Using a cognitive framework with nurses to manage stress
Authors: Williams Anne M. , Williams Nigel J. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractNursing can be a stressful occupation with many nurses struggling to cope with stress on a day‐to‐day basis. Considerable evidence suggests that positive coping strategies can be an effective part of stress management education programs. This article describes the theoretical rationale for a cognitive framework for stress management that was developed as part of a well‐being educational program for cancer nurses. This framework included an associated mnemonic (www.pst) to assist in the recall and utilization of positive coping strategies. The stress management framework was intended to increase nurses’ perceptions of personal control which is central to stress management. The academic coping literature is complex, jargon laden and often conceptually abstract, and may not easily be understood by a nonacademic audience. The cognitive framework described here is an evidence‐based, user‐friendly tool that could be used and evaluated by counsellors, educators, and researchers in different settings.

Published: September 2022

AbstractParentage sibship‐inference analyses were conducted using mtDNA sequencing and six microsatellite genotypes of 182 Japanese eel preleptocephali that were collected from one net‐tow near the West Mariana Ridge in May 2014. At least 328 parents were involved in producing the 182 preleptocephali, and several parents may have spawned a few times during 3 days of a spawning period. Half‐sibs suggested that a few parents mated with 1–3 partners, indicating that the Japanese eel can form spawning aggregations in which several parents mate with each other in the ocean.

Published: September 2022

AbstractTackling microbial risk in food requires a good knowledge of the behavior of an organism in specific foods. The effect of temperature (50, 52.5, 55, 57.5, 60, 62.5, and 65°C), pH (6.0, 6.5, and 7.0) and sugar concentration (0, 5.0 and 10% w/v) on survival of A. hydrophila in soymilk was investigated. Heat resistance studies were carried out using conventional screw‐capped tube procedure with heating at constant temperature. Survival plots were made from experimental data, and D‐ and z‐values obtained ranging between 18.15–0.57 min and 9.71–9.55°C respectively. Significant effects were observed in D‐ and z‐values with variations in pH and sugar concentrations of soymilk. This hurdle combination proved effective in preserving soymilk, aimed at optimizing nutrient retention, organoleptic quality and destruction of A. hydrophila. The data obtained would be useful in effective thermal processing, establishing appropriate pasteurization schedules with reference to A. hydrophila contamination in soymilk.Novelty impact statementAeromonas hydrophila has increasingly been recognized as an emerging food borne pathogen that poses threat to human health. Although inactivation studies of A. hydrophila in several foods have been reported, there is limited information on its inactivation in soymilk using multiple hurdles. In this study, thermal inactivation kinetics of Aeromonas hydrophila from a water source was carried out in soymilk of varying pH and sugar concentrations and was observed to exhibit apparently linear survival curves, and higher decimal reduction times (D‐value) and z‐values than reported for other studied liquid foods. The parameters obtained in this study will be useful in the optimization of thermal processing of soymilk in combination with other hurdles to ensure safety from this organism and similar gram‐negative bacteria.

AbstractBackgroundAlthough much has been published on the use of poly‐L‐lactic acid (PLLA) and calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHA) for off‐face indications, questions remain regarding their exact mechanisms of action in subcutaneous tissue and their comparative efficacy.ObjectiveTo present the clinical and histological results of the PLLA and CaHA injections into the opposing arms of the same patients.MethodsFive women received superficial subcutaneous injections of PLLA into the left arm and CaHA into the right arm. After three sessions, the clinical and histological outcomes were analyzed.ResultsAfter the first session, three patients showed improvement in the right arm (CaHA), but at the end of study, two patients showed better results in the left arm (PLLA). Histologically, moderate to intense lymphocytic and giant cell infiltrate, as well as collagen and elastic fiber neoformation, were observed equally near the particles of both products. Dermis had no inflammatory or fiber alterations.ConclusionIn this study, there were no clinical differences between these two fillers. Despite current thinking and previous histological studies, we found both products produced moderate to intense inflammatory reaction, as well as collagenic/elastogenic fiber neoformation, only in the subcutaneous tissue of the immediate vicinity and surrounding the individual filler particles.
Use of duplex echoencephalography to evaluate brain death in children: A novel approach to the diagnosis
Authors: Sharma Kamal , Sheikh Ameera , Maertens Paul 
Published: September 2022

AbstractBackground and PurposeBrain death is defined as the irreversible cessation of brain function with a known etiology. This study aims to establish the value of duplex echoencephalography (DEG) in children fulfilling clinical brain death diagnostic criteria.MethodsDEG must show intracranial brain structures. Power Doppler is used to assess venous flow when feasible. Color Doppler patterns in all major arteries are assessed. Spectral analysis of arterial flow is divided into four grades: grade 1: inverted flow during entire diastole with time average peak velocity (TAPV) less or equal to zero; grade 2: disappearance of the inverted diastolic flow at the end of diastole; grade 3: oscillating pattern in early diastole; and grade 4: no diastolic flow with systolic blip. To fulfill diagnosis of brain death, brain perfusion must be lost for 30 minutes.ResultsDEG is performed in 41 pediatric patients. In infants, loss of venous flow occurs regardless of the etiology. Grade 1 is the most common arterial color flow pattern and TAPV is always below zero. A pulsatile color flow is associated with three other types of flow patterns (grades 2‐4). TAPV is not calculated, when there is loss of diastolic flow. Diagnosis of brain death is validated using nuclear brain scan in 4 patients. Two have a grade 1 flow pattern, while the other two have a grade 4 flow pattern.ConclusionsIn children, DEG following a strict protocol can be used to confirm diagnosis of brain death in the appropriate clinical setting.

Authors: Chaves Mark , Roso Joseph , Holleman Anna 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe National Survey of Religious Leaders (NSRL) is a new survey of a nationally representative sample of 1,600 clergy from across the religious spectrum. Conducted in 2019–2020, the NSRL contains a wealth of information about congregations’ religious leaders and provides a rich new resource for answering a wide range of questions about clergy who serve congregations. We describe NSRL methods so that analysts will be equipped to use this complex dataset. Aiming to deepen understanding of the research process, we also describe several challenges we encountered while pursuing this project, our responses to those challenges, and what we learned from confronting them.
Rest for Your Souls? Religion, Meaning, and Purpose in Life, and Sleep Quality in the United States
Authors: Upenieks Laura , Ford‐Robertson Joanne , D. Hill Terrence 
Published: September 2022

AbstractAlthough vibrant interdisciplinary literature has extensively documented the importance of quality sleep for health and longevity, many Americans struggle with sleep disorders. One factor which has received far less research attention to date in predicting sleep quality is religion/spirituality. The current study uses nationally representative data from the 2017 Baylor Religion Survey to assess how three dimensions of religion/spirituality, including religious attendance, divine control (the belief in God's causal influence over daily life), and religious doubt (doubt in God's existence), associate with sleep quality. Given that very few population‐based studies have formally tested any underlying mechanisms of the association between religion/spirituality and sleep, we also consider the potential mediating influence of the sense of meaning and purpose in life. Results suggest that greater religious attendance and divine control were associated with better sleep quality, while doubt in God's existence among religious believers was associated with lower sleep quality. The sense of meaning/purpose in life was found to mediate the relationship between religious attendance and divine control and sleep quality and confound the association between religious doubt and sleep quality. Taken together, our findings incorporate understudied measures of religion/spirituality and introduce the sense of meaning and purpose in life as a new mechanism.
A comprehensive review of mammalian carnivore translocations

Published: September 2022

Abstract

Carnivore conservation translocations are assumed to provide numerous ecological benefits, including conservation of the translocated carnivores, regulation of prey species and restoration of ecosystems. Reviews of mammalian carnivore conservation translocations and resultant ecosystem effects have focussed on large carnivores. We reviewed global terrestrial carnivore conservation translocations across all taxa, including taxonomic bias, problems influencing their population establishment and their ecosystem effects.

We obtained data from 536 conservation translocations of 54 species of terrestrial mammalian carnivore (order Carnivora and family Dasyuridae, 30 g–196 kg), comprising mostly Mustelidae, Canidae, and Felidae species. A third of all projects translocated carnivores into South Africa and a third into fenced reserves.

Significant bias occurred relative to threat status, with over‐representation of Mustelidae and Canidae conservation translocations relative to the number of threatened species in each family. Additionally, conservation translocations of small carnivores were generally under‐represented compared to those of large carnivores.

Seventeen percent of small carnivore conservation translocations failed, compared with 25% of large carnivore conservation translocations; failure was primarily due to reported anthropogenic mortality.

Effects on resident prey species or ecosystems of carnivore conservation translocations were rarely investigated. We found no significant relationship between the carnivore family or size and effects on prey or ecosystems; however, prey impacts were frequently attributed to Felidae, and ecosystem effects were frequently attributed to Canidae and Felidae.

Challenges to translocations of mammalian carnivores include threats to resident threatened prey species and difficulties in monitoring the ecological effects of carnivore conservation translocations. Poor postrelease monitoring and a lack of empirical studies remain persistent problems, contributing to the poor understanding of ecosystem effects following carnivore conservation translocations.

AbstractFacemasks represent an essential measure of prevention against the spread of COVID‐19; however, they lessen the ability to convey and understand emotions through facial expressions. In blood donation settings, facemasks may interfere with professionals' tasks. This qualitative study aims to describe healthcare staff's experiences, beliefs, and attitudes toward facemask wearing and strategies used to overcome communication and relational barriers along the blood donation process. Semistructured qualitative interviews were conducted with 25 healthcare professionals (14 physicians and 11 nurses) working in Italian blood donation centers. The framework analysis method was used to organize the data and identify emerging themes. More than 70% of participants reported discomfort and a negative impact on communicating effectively with donors and building empathic relationships. The difficulty to detect early signs of adverse reactions was reported by almost all nurses, and physicians were concerned that facemasks limited the identification of donors and the detection of deferral criteria. Facemasks have changed the blood donation process, reducing the healthcare professionals' ability to build empathic relationships and communicate with donors effectively. New strategies should be developed to overcome these limitations.
Putting responsiveness in context: How a partner's responsiveness baseline shapes perceived responsiveness
Authors: Krueger Kori , Forest Amanda 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPerceived responsiveness has been described as a “bedrock of intimacy.” For responsive acts to be optimally beneficial, recipients must perceive them as responsive. Thus, understanding the factors that influence perceptions of responsiveness is critical for promoting high‐quality relationships. To date, little research has examined how relationship‐specific variables affect how people interpret responsive acts. This paper examine how one such contextual factor—perceptions of a partner's typical level of responsiveness (responsiveness baseline)—shapes interpretations of responsive and unresponsive acts. Two studies employing complementary paradigms provide converging evidence that individuals who perceive their partner as having a high (vs. low) responsiveness baseline perceive greater situational responsiveness when interpreting responsive (but not unresponsive) acts from their partner. These findings reveal a novel, relationship‐specific contextual influence on perceptions of responsiveness and highlight the importance of considering behavioral baselines when examining how people interpret interpersonal behavior.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackgroundUltraviolet radiation can aggravate facial erythema in atopic dermatitis (AD) patients.ObjectiveTo investigate the photobiological testing results of Chinese AD patients with refractory facial erythema.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective analysis of 82 AD patients with refractory facial erythema who visited our department during 2004–2021. All of them completed phototesting and photopatch testing.Results82 patients were enrolled in the study, and 53 (64.6%) were between 18 and 30 years old. 51.2% (42/82) had positive phototesting results and were considered photosensitive AD (PhAD) patients. One‐third of them were both allergic to ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B. 65.9% (54/82) suffered from photoallergic contact dermatitis. Chlorpromazine (50.7%), potassium dichromate (13.2%), and thimerosal (11.8%) were the top three common photoallergens. Overall, 86.3% of AD patients with refractory facial erythema had direct photoallergy or photocontact allergy. PhAD patients had fewer allergic comorbidities than the other group (p = .007). More non‐PhAD patients (55.0%) suffered from AD at 2–14 years old (p = .015).ConclusionsPhotosensitivity contributes a lot to the facial lesions of AD patients, especially in their 20s. 86.3% of these patients had direct photoallergy or photocontact allergy. Therefore, AD patients with facial erythema should undergo phototesting and photopatch testing routinely.
Broadening gender self‐categorization development to include transgender identities
Authors: Jackson Emma F. , Bussey Kay 
Published: September 2022

AbstractResearch on gender in psychology has increasingly affirmed diversity in gender, with recognition of binary and nonbinary transgender experiences. However, gender has been presumed to be cisgender (congruent with sex) and binary (either male or female) in classical developmental theories. In response, this review engages in a critical analysis of classical gender development theory informed by findings about gender from research on transgender identities. Under analysis was the concept of gender self‐categorization in classical theories of gender development including cognitive developmental theory, developmental gender schema theory, and social cognitive theory. Novel theoretical approaches are then outlined to situate recent advancements alongside classical theory. Conclusions are then drawn with brief recommendations for research methods that aim to include binary and nonbinary transgender participants. Drawing on the findings of this review it has been shown that gender self‐categorization is often implicitly presumed to be cisgender identification. To overcome this bias, it is suggested that greater attention to specific gender self‐categorization mechanisms are needed to open opportunities to include transgender experiences.
Long‐read sequencing characterizes mitochondrial and plastid genome variants in Arabidopsis msh1 mutants

Published: September 2022

SUMMARYThe abundant repeats in plant mitochondrial genomes can cause rapid genome rearrangements and are also a major obstacle in short‐read sequencing studies. Nuclear‐encoded proteins such as MSH1 are known to suppress the generation of repeat‐associated mitochondrial genome variants, but our understanding of these mechanisms has been constrained by the limitations of short‐read technologies. Here, we used highly accurate long‐read sequencing (PacBio HiFi) to characterize mitochondrial and plastid genome variants in Arabidopsis thaliana msh1 mutant individuals. The HiFi reads provided a global view of recombination dynamics with detailed quantification of parental and crossover recombination products for both large and small repeats. We found that recombination breakpoints were distributed relatively evenly across the length of repeated sequences and detected widespread internal exchanges of sequence variants between pairs of imperfect repeats in the mitochondrial genome of msh1 mutants. Long‐read assemblies of mitochondrial genomes from seven other A. thaliana wild‐type accessions differed by repeat‐mediated structural rearrangements similar to those observed in msh1 mutants, but they were all in a simple low‐heteroplasmy state. The Arabidopsis plastid genome generally lacks small repeats and exhibited a very different pattern of variant accumulation in msh1 mutants compared with the mitochondrial genome. Our data illustrate the power of HiFi technology in studying repeat‐mediated recombination in plant organellar genomes and improved the sequence resolution for recombinational processes suppressed by MSH1. Plant organellar genomes can undergo rapid rearrangements. Long‐read sequencing provides a detailed and quantitative view of mitochondrial and plastid genome variants normally suppressed by MSH1, advancing our understanding of plant organellar genome dynamics.

Vibro-Impact Motions of a Three-Degree-of-Freedom Geartrain Subjected to Torque Fluctuations: Model and Experiments
Authors: Donmez Ata , Kahraman Ahmet 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
In this study, a multimesh gear system subjected to torque fluctuations is employed as an example to study vibro-impacts of multidegree-of-freedom systems having multiple clearances. Such rotational systems are common in various automotive geared drivetrains where external torque fluctuations lead to contact loss at gear mesh interfaces to result in sequences of impacts. The specific configuration considered here is a three-axis, two-gear mesh drivetrain that is commonly used in engine timing gear systems, known for its vibro-impacts resulting in rattling noise. On the theoretical side, a discrete torsion model is developed and solved using a piecewise-linear solution method. Its predictions are compared to measurements from a three-axis geartrain to demonstrate its accuracy. The validated model is employed to characterize the sensitivity of vibro-impact motions and associated nonlinear behavior to key excitation parameters for two kinematic configurations. For the idler configuration where the middle gear is not subject to any external disturbance, double-sided impacts of one gear mesh were shown to induce separation on the other gear mesh such that vibro-impacts are localized in a single mesh. For the torque-split configuration, the ratio of the torques carried by the outputs was identified as a major parameter defining regions and types of rattle motions.
