Equality in contention: exploring the debates of gender-equal inheritance rights in Bangladesh
Authors: Hossain Jinat , Jamil Ishtiaq 
Published: October 2022

PurposeThe purpose of the paper is to evaluate what caused the debates and confusion in articulating a gender-equal inheritance policy in Bangladesh, and to identify the socio-political drivers and nature of the political power play that thwarted the policy’s adoption.Design/methodology/approachThe research undergirding this paper is based on a qualitative approach involving a case study with in-depth semi-structured interviews, focus-group discussions, and secondary data analysis. The interviews were conducted with policy makers, officials, lawyers, women activists, Muslim religious scholars, Hindu priests, academics and researchers, and women representing Hindu and Muslim religions.FindingsThe findings illustrate that the controversies between the Islamic religion and national and international policies led to serious debates and confusion about gender-equal rights of inheritance in Bangladesh. The failure to formulate and adopt a gender-equal inheritance policy was influenced by several socio-political phenomena and gender-biased institutional settings. This kind of policy is deeply political, and cultural compatibility is necessary to formulate it, especially when the policy affects religious sentiments. Religious sentiments and beliefs, which are associated with religion-based personal law, therefore influence both the formulation or non-formulation of a gender-equal policy. To move forward with the fundamental idea of women’s inclusion, there is a strong need to identify the socio-cultural and political drivers behind formulating, non-formulating, as well as implementing a gender-equal policy.Originality/valueThe paper will be beneficial to scholars and policy makers who seek to explore the epicenter of challenges and opposition to formulating a gender-equal policy in the context of a developing country with a Muslim majority.

Published: October 2022

PurposeOur thematic analysis of the academic literature on Canadian Muslim Youth aims to identify and describe the factors which contribute to the construction of identity among Muslim youth in Canada and make some research and policy recommendations to address this issue. In this review, we responded to the following questions: What is the current research evidence for Canadian Muslim Youth identity construction? What are the major themes included in the identified publications?Design/methodology/approachWhat does it mean to be a Muslim youth in Canada and how do Canadian Muslim youth negotiate and construct their identities in a globally polarized world? Using Arksey and O'Malley's framework (2005), a scoping review of empirical studies published between 2000 and 2021 was conducted to explore the diverse contexts that intersect in the creation of Canadian Muslim youth identity.FindingsA thematic analysis of the literature identified five key themes: religiosity, racism and discrimination, parental influence, citizenship and gender that intersect in multiple ways to contribute to the construction of diverse and complex Muslim youth identities. The scoping review highlights a gap in community-based research and the need for a broader range of theoretical perspectives on Muslim youth identity construction, as well as culturally appropriate policies and social work practice models for positive youth development.Originality/valueIn contemporary Canadian culture, Muslim youth must negotiate and create their own exclusive identity, which justifies the context of what it means to be Canadian and Muslim at the same time. As highlighted in the literature, a number of tensions within the Canadian policy, between the policy and the Muslim tradition and within the Muslim community itself pose challenges in the identity development among Muslim youth. Therefore, It is critical for social work practitioners, researchers and policymakers to consider above mentioned socio-political and religious dimensions while designing, implementing and evaluating youth programs for Muslim communities.
Metaproteomics to understand how microbiota function: The crystal ball predicts a promising future
Authors: Armengaud Jean 
Published: October 2022

AbstractIn the medical, environmental, and biotechnological fields, microbial communities have attracted much attention due to their roles and numerous possible applications. The study of these communities is challenging due to their diversity and complexity. Innovative methods are needed to identify the taxonomic components of individual microbiota, their changes over time, and to determine how microoorganisms interact and function. Metaproteomics is based on the identification and quantification of proteins, and can potentially provide this full picture. Due to the wide molecular panorama and functional insights it provides, metaproteomics is gaining momentum in microbiome and holobiont research. Its full potential should be unleashed in the coming years with progress in speed and cost of analyses. In this exploratory crystal ball exercise, I discuss the technical and conceptual advances in metaproteomics that I expect to drive innovative research over the next few years in microbiology. I also debate the concepts of ‘microbial dark matter’ and ‘Metaproteomics‐Assembled Proteomes (MAPs)’ and present some long‐term prospects for metaproteomics in clinical diagnostics and personalized medicine, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and biotechnology.

AbstractObjectiveTo compare the estimates of preterm birth (PTB; 22–36 weeks' gestational age, GA) and stillbirth rates during COVID‐19 pandemic in Italy with those recorded in the three previous years.DesignA population‐based cohort study of live‐ and stillborn infants was conducted using data from Regional Health Systems and comparing the pandemic period (1 March 2020–31 March 2021, n = 362 129) to an historical period (January 2017–February 2020, n = 1 117 172). The cohort covered 84.3% of the births in Italy.MethodsPoisson regressions were run in each Region and meta‐analyses were performed centrally. We used an interrupted time series regression analysis to study the trend of preterm births from 2017 to 2021.Main outcome measuresThe primary outcomes were PTB and stillbirths. Secondary outcomes were late PTB (32–36 weeks' GA), very PTB (<32 weeks' GA), and extremely PTB (<28 weeks' GA), overall and stratified into singleton and multiples.ResultsThe pandemic period compared with the historical one was associated with a reduced risk for PTB (risk ratio [RR] 0.91, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88–0.93), late PTB (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.88–0.94), very PTB (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.84–0.91) and extremely PTB (RR 0.88, 95% CI 0.82–0.95). In multiples, point estimates were not very different, but had wider CIs. No association was found for stillbirths (RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.90–1.13). A linear decreasing trend in PTB rate was present in the historical period, with a further reduction after the lockdown.ConclusionsWe demonstrated a decrease in PTB rate after the introduction of COVID‐19 restriction measures, without an increase in stillbirths.

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the views of women, partners, families, health workers and community leaders of potential investigations to determine the cause(s) of stillbirth, in Malawi, Tanzania and Zambia.DesignGrounded theory.SettingTertiary facilities and community settings in Blantyre, Malawi, Mwanza, Tanzania and Mansa, Zambia.SamplePurposive and theoretical sampling was used to recruit 124 participants: 33 women, 18 partners, 19 family members, 29 health workers and 25 community leaders, across three countries.MethodsSemi‐structured interviews were conducted using a topic guide for focus. Analysis was completed using constant comparative analysis. Sampling ceased at data saturation.ResultsWomen wanted to know the cause of stillbirth, but this was tempered by their fear of the implications of this knowledge; in particular, the potential for them to be blamed for the death of their baby. There were also concerns about the potential consequences of denying tradition and culture. Non‐invasive investigations were most likely to be accepted on the basis of causing less ‘harm’ to the baby. Parents’ decision‐making was influenced by type of investigation, family and cultural influences and financial cost.ConclusionsParents want to understand the cause of death, but face emotional, cultural and economic barriers to this. Offering investigations will require these barriers to be addressed, services to be available and a no‐blame culture developed to improve outcomes. Community awareness, education and support for parents in making decisions are vital prior to implementing investigations in these settings.

AbstractObjectiveTo compare pre‐eclampsia risk factors identified by clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) with risk factors from hierarchical evidence review, to guide pre‐eclampsia prevention.DesignOur search strategy provided hierarchical evidence of relationships between risk factors and pre‐eclampsia using Medline (Ovid), searched from January 2010 to January 2021.SettingPublished studies and CPGs.PopulationPregnant women.MethodsWe evaluated the strength of association and quality of evidence (GRADE). CPGs (n = 15) were taken from a previous systematic review.Main outcome measurePre‐eclampsia.ResultsOf 78 pre‐eclampsia risk factors, 13 (16.5%) arise only during pregnancy. Strength of association was usually ‘probable’ (n = 40, 51.3%) and the quality of evidence was low (n = 35, 44.9%). The ‘major’ and ‘moderate’ risk factors proposed by 8/15 CPGs were not well aligned with the evidence; of the ten ‘major’ risk factors (alone warranting aspirin prophylaxis), associations with pre‐eclampsia were definite (n = 4), probable (n = 5) or possible (n = 1), based on moderate (n = 4), low (n = 5) or very low (n = 1) quality evidence. Obesity (‘moderate’ risk factor) was definitely associated with pre‐eclampsia (high‐quality evidence). The other ten ‘moderate’ risk factors had probable (n = 8), possible (n = 1) or no (n = 1) association with pre‐eclampsia, based on evidence of moderate (n = 1), low (n = 5) or very low (n = 4) quality. Three risk factors not identified by the CPGs had probable associations (high quality): being overweight; ‘prehypertension’ at booking; and blood pressure of 130–139/80–89 mmHg in early pregnancy.ConclusionsPre‐eclampsia risk factors in CPGs are poorly aligned with evidence, particularly for the strongest risk factor of obesity. There is a lack of distinction between risk factors identifiable in early pregnancy and those arising later. A refresh of the strategies advocated by CPGs is needed.
Technologies for sustainable heat generation in food processing
Authors: Grossmann Lutz , Hinrichs Jörg , Weiss Jochen 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe utilization of heat is one of the foundations of modern food processing. At present, boilers that operate on fossil fuels are still dominating the generation of hot water, steam, and hot air in the food industry. In light of sustainability goals and carbon taxes as well as international efforts to reduce the dependence on natural gas, new technologies are needed to lower the greenhouse gas emissions related to thermal processing of foods. This review discusses important technologies that could serve as a replacement for conventional fossil fuel boilers in the future. These technologies are based on electricity, geothermal energy (direct/indirect use), and electricity to hydrogen conversion and include fuel cells, microturbines, engines, electrical boilers, heat pumps, radiation, and use of geothermal energy. The majority of these technologies are already available for implementation at larger scales and emissions are generally lower compared to burning fossil fuels. At present, major obstacles, such as low fossil fuel prices, still exist that prevent the widespread adoption of more sustainable heating technologies. However, the direct transformation of electrical energy and utilization of geothermal energy for heating purposes seem promising and should be more frequently installed in the future, whereas the use of H2obtained through electrolysis as a transportable source of energy may also serve as a source of thermal energy where it is useful to generate electricity and heat on the production site or where the availability of electricity is limited.

Published: October 2022

AbstractPesticide residues in radishes can induce serious health hazards, especially in children and toddlers. In order to assess potential health risk from pesticide residues in radishes, a total of 26 pesticides were evaluated by gas chromatography with mass spectrometry in 1690 samples, which were collected from the year 2016 to 2019 in Shandong Province of China. All the 26 pesticide residues were detected in 752 radish samples (44.50%), but only 221 samples (13.08%) contained detectable pesticide residues, which are above the maximum residue limits (MRLs). Multiple residues with two to nine pesticides were present in 5.09% (86 out of 1690) of samples. Hazard quotient (HQ) and the cumulative risk index were far below 100, while percentage value of acute reference dose (%ARfD) of triazophos exceeded 100 for adults, children, and toddlers. The %ARfD value for carbofuran, aldicarb, monocrotophos, and parathion was over 100 for toddlers. From the perspective of public health, the occurrence of pesticide residues in radishes could not pose a serious health risk problem, but the acute health risk should be paid more attention, especially to toddlers. It is recommended to make strict regulations on the management of pesticide residues and human health risk assessment about pesticide residues.
Cleavage Identities in Voters’ Own Words: Harnessing Open‐Ended Survey Responses
Authors: Zollinger Delia 
Published: October 2022

AbstractFundamental transformations of underlying cleavage structures in advanced democracies should become evident in new collective identities. This article uses quantitative text analysis to investigate how voters describe their ingroups and outgroups in open‐ended survey responses. I look at Switzerland, a paradigmatic case of electoral realignment along a “second,” universalism–particularism dimension of politics opposing the far right and the new left. Keyness statistics and a semi‐supervised document scaling method (latent semantic scaling) serve to identify terms associated with the poles of this divide in voters’ responses, and hence to measure universalist/particularist identities. Based on voters’ own words, the results support the idea of collective identities consolidating an emerging cleavage: Voters’ identity descriptions relate to far right versus new left support, along with known sociostructural and attitudinal correlates of the universalism–particularism divide, and they reveal how groups opposed on this dimension antagonistically demarcate themselves from each other.

AbstractAimPhysical activity patterns in adolescents have been associated with general health. Stress, screen‐time and sleep are other factors associated with physical activity that influence health in adolescents. Physical activity accounts for several health benefits; however, the impact of organised sports participation to achieve the same health benefits are less explored. This study explored the associations of organised sports participation with general health, stress, screen‐time and sleep‐duration in adolescents.MethodsFor this cross‐sectional study, data from 1139 adolescents (age 13–14 years) from 34 schools were analysed. Data were collected during autumn 2019. Data collection consisted of self‐reported questionnaires and standard methods for height and weight measurements.ResultsAdolescents with organised sports participation ≥3 times/week were twice as likely to report better general health (OR: 2.11, CI: 1.45–3.07) and lower screen‐time (OR: 1.98, CI: 1.43–2.74). Adolescents with organised sports participation ≥3 times/week were less likely to meet the recommended sleep‐duration on weekdays (OR: 0.43, 95% CI: 0.29–0.65).ConclusionsAdolescents with frequent organised sports participation had better general health, lower amounts of screen‐time and shorter sleep‐duration on weekdays than those with no participation. Although the causal relationships remain unknown, these results can be relevant when developing strategies promoting physical activity and health in adolescents.
Left‐sided excess in the laterality of cutaneous melanocytic nevi and melanomas

Published: October 2022

SummaryBackground and objectivesAsymmetrical distribution of melanomas in favor of the left body half has been repeatedly described.Patients and methodsIn a prospective cross‐sectional study, we investigated the distribution of melanocytic nevi between the left and right halves of the body in 702 patients. In 2,004 consecutive cases with melanomas, we retrospectively determined left to right (L/R) ratios of primary melanomas, lymph node metastases, and melanocytic nevi in sentinel lymph nodes (SN).ResultsThe L/R ratios for cutaneous nevi and melanomas were 1.23 (95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.12–1.36) and 1.6 (95 % CI 1.37–1.88), respectively. In both cutaneous nevi and melanomas, the left‐sided excess was mainly found in intermittently light‐exposed skin. Of the nevus patients, 92.4 % were right‐handed. Breslow thickness and rates of ulceration did not differ significantly between the two body halves.ConclusionsMelanocytic nevi and melanomas are more frequently found on the left body half. We assume asymmetric solar radiation as the causative factor. The vast majority of right‐handed people might unconsciously align their posture during outdoor activities so that the light falls in from the left. This avoids shadow cast by the dominant arm, shoulder, or head.
Analysis of real‐world capillary blood glucose data to help reduce HbA1c and hypoglycaemia in type 1 diabetes: Evidence in favour of using the percentage of readings in target and coefficient of variation

AbstractAimsTo examine real‐world capillary blood glucose (CBG) data according to HbA1c to define proportions of CBG readings at different HbA1c levels, and evaluate patterns in CBG measurements to suggest areas to focus on with regard to self‐management.MethodsA retrospective analysis stratified 682 adults with type 1 diabetes split into quartiles based on their HbA1c. The proportions of results in different CBG ranges and associations with HbA1c were evaluated. Patterns in readings following episodes of hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia were examined, using glucose to next glucose reading table (G2G).ResultsCBG readings in the target range (3.9‐10 mmol/L) increase by ~10% across each CBG quartile (31% in the highest versus 63% in the lowest quartile, p < 0.05). The novel G2G table helps the treatment‐based interpretation of data. Hypoglycaemia is often preceded by hyperglycaemia, and vice‐versa, and is twice as likely in the highest HbA1c quartile. Re‐testing within 30 min of hypoglycaemia is associated with less hypoglycaemia, 1.6% versus 7.2%, p < 0.001, and also reduces subsequent hyperglycaemia and further hypoglycaemia in the proceeding 24 h. The coefficient of variation, but not standard deviation, is highly associated with hypoglycaemia, r = 0.71, and a CV ≤ 36% equates to 3.3% of CBG readings in the hypoglycaemic range.ConclusionsHbA1c <58 mmol/mol (7.5%) is achievable even when only ~60% of CBG readings are between 3.9–10 mmol/L. Examining readings subsequent to out‐of‐range readings suggests useful behaviours which people with type 1 diabetes could be supported to adhere to, both in a clinic and structured education programmes, thereby decreasing the risk of hypoglycaemia whilst also reducing hyperglycaemia and improving HbA1c.
