Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundCutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is a chronic, autoimmune skin disease with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations in different populations.AimTo study the clinicohistological and immunological features of CLE in a multiethnic population and to identify the predictive factors of disease severity based on the Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus Disease Area and Severity Index (CLASI).MethodsThis was a cross-sectional study of CLE conducted from March 2019 to February 2020.ResultsIn total, 111 patients were recruited with a female/male ratio of 4.9 : 1. Acute CLE contributed 47.7%, followed by chronic CLE at 46.9% and subacute CLE at 5.4%. A large majority (84%) of patients had systemic lupus erythematosus. Of patients with chronic CLE, about 67.3% developed systemic involvement. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) was detected in 90.0%. Skin biopsy was taken from 42 patients and showed perivascular lymphocytic infiltration (95.2%), epidermal atrophy (47.6%) and hydropic degeneration of the basal layer (47.6%). Immunoglobulin deposition at the dermoepidermal junction was seen in &gt; 40% of patients, predominantly in a granular pattern. Mean CLASI Total was 6.44 ± 7.70, while CLASI Activity (CLASI-A) was 2.75 ± 4.10 and CLASI Damage (CLASI-D) was 3.71 ± 4.76. Involved body surface area (BSA) was found to be an independent predictive factor for CLASI-A (OR = 1.34, P &lt; 0.02). For CLASI-D, positive predictive factors were involved BSA (OR = 4.14, P &lt; 0.001), discoid lupus erythematosus subtype (OR = 13.10, P = 0.001), cutaneous vascular disease (OR = 26.59; P = 0.014), scalp involvement (OR = 8.7, P &lt; 0.01) and hypocomplementaemia (OR = 5.71, P &lt; 0.5). Mean Dermatology Life Quality Index was 5.91 ± 5.34 and correlated significantly with disease severity.ConclusionsWe observed a high percentage of patients with CLE with systemic manifestations and positive ANA result. More aggressive treatment of patients with positive predictive factors for severe disease combined with significant clinical activity may be warranted.

AbstractAimEvaluate how large‐scale forest regeneration based on a low‐cost restoration method may mitigate the effects of habitat loss and fragmentation associated to future climate changes on the distribution of birds and arboreal mammals in a tropical biodiversity hotspot; find areas with different current and future potential species richness and assess how passive restoration can reduce the risk of species extinction.LocationBrazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF).MethodsWe built a forest regeneration scenario via a model of seed dispersal based on the potential movement of frugivorous fauna and projected the potential distribution of 356 bird species and 21 arboreal mammals based on Species Distribution Models (SDM) which employed 79,462 occurrence records and four algorithms for different climate and landscape scenarios. SDM were based on climate and landscape predictors separately and the results were combined into maps of species richness. Finally, we assessed the species’ risk of extinction based on the species–area relationship.ResultsWithout considering the effects of climate change, the potential distribution area for each species increases on average by 72.5% (SD = 8%) in the scenario of potential regeneration. Climate change decreases the area of potential occurrence of 252 species, which may suffer a mean reduction of 74.4% (SD = 9.3%) in their current potential distribution areas. BAF regions with the largest amounts of forest had the greatest potential richness of species. In future climate scenario, 3.4% of species may become extinct, but we show that large‐scale regeneration may prevent these extinctions.Main conclusionsDespite the possible negative impacts of climate change on the distribution of 67% of the studied species, which would increase the risk of species extinction, our analysis indicated that promoting large‐scale BAF restoration based on natural regeneration may prevent biodiversity loss.

Abstract
The Pantanal is the largest wetland in the world and a World Heritage Site. During 2019–2020, the Pantanal has experienced the most severe burning in its history, with vast destroyed areas of vegetation and killed wildlife. Since the long‐term damage caused by fire to the Pantanal is still unknown, understanding how the biodiversity responds to post‐fire disturbance over a short‐term is an important step for conservation initiatives.
The authors studied the effects of fire on dung beetle communities, a recognised bioindicator group, in the Brazilian Pantanal. For this, the authors assessed the patterns of taxonomic and functional diversity between unburned and burned sites (16 months post‐fire).
The authors found that taxonomic and functional diversity of dung beetles were similar between unburned and burned grasslands, but with a distinct taxonomic composition post‐fire. The functional traits composition was similar between unburned and burned sites, demonstrating that this metric is less sensitive to fire effects in the Brazilian Pantanal.
The study's results provide evidence that dung beetles exhibit high resistance to the occurrence of fire and fast recovery from its consequences. Thus, due to its ecological functions (secondary seed dispersion, nutrient cycling and others), these insects may assist ecological restoration of burned sites, being useful tools in restoration approaches for areas of the Pantanal that have been affected by fire.
Finally, combining traditional taxonomic community attributes with functional diversity measurements provides a more comprehensive picture of responses of dung beetle communities, post‐fire, over a short‐term in the Brazilian Pantanal.

AbstractMaking predictions from ecological models—and comparing them to data—offers a coherent approach to evaluate model quality, regardless of model complexity or modelling paradigm. To date, our ability to use predictions for developing, validating, updating, integrating and applying models across scientific disciplines while influencing management decisions, policies, and the public has been hampered by disparate perspectives on prediction and inadequately integrated approaches. We present an updated foundation for Predictive Ecology based on seven principles applied to ecological modelling: make frequent Predictions, Evaluate models, make models Reusable, Freely accessible and Interoperable, built within Continuous workflows that are routinely Tested (PERFICT). We outline some benefits of working with these principles: accelerating science; linking with data science; and improving science‐policy integration.
Taphonomy of microorganisms and microbial microtextures at sulfidic hydrothermal vents: A case study from the Roman Ruins black smokers, Eastern Manus Basin

Published: March 2022

AbstractBiological activity at deep‐sea hydrothermal chimneys is driven by chemotrophic microorganisms that metabolize chemicals from the venting high‐temperature fluids. Understanding taphonomy and microbial microtextures in such environments is a necessity for micropaleontological and palaeoecological research. This study examines fossilized microorganisms and related microtextures in a recent black smoker from the Roman Ruins hydrothermal vent site, Eastern Manus Basin offshore of Papua New Guinea. Whereas the center of the examined sulfide chimney is dominated by high‐temperature mineralogy (chalcopyrite and dendritic sphalerite), filamentous and coccoidal biomorphs occur in an outer, warm zone of mixing between hydrothermal fluids and seawater, which is indicated by their occurrence within colloform and botryoidal pyrite of barite–pyrite coprecipitates. Both morphotypes can be interpreted as thermophilic microorganisms based on their occurrence in a high‐temperature habitat. Their separate (non‐commensal) occurrence hints at sensitivities to microenvironmental conditions, which is expectable for strong temperature, pH, and redox gradients at the walls of deep‐sea hydrothermal chimneys. Whereas both morphotypes experienced mild thermal overprint, taphonomic differences exist: (i) spaces left by cells in filamentous fossils are predominately filled by silica, whereas inter/extracellular features (crosswalls/septae and outer sheaths) are pyritized; (ii) coccoidal fossils show both silica‐ and pyrite‐infilled interiors, and generally better preservation of cell walls. These different manifestations presumably relate to an interplay between microenvironmental and biological factors, potentially contrasting metabolisms, and differences in cell wall chemistries of distinct bacteria and/or archaea. A further hypothesis is that the coccoidal features represent biofilm‐forming organisms, whose organic matter derivates contributed to the formation of intimately associated wavy and wrinkly carbonaceous laminations that are at least locally distinguishable from the texture of the surrounding pyrite. Hence, the presented data provide evidence that microtextures of microbiota from hydrothermal systems can have a similar significance for palaeobiological research as those from sedimentary environments.

AbstractObjectiveTo summarize the evidence regarding static and dynamic balance alterations among patients with headache.MethodsElectronic databases (PubMed, CINAHL, and Web of Science) were searched by two researchers independently up to September 2021. Two reviewers selected eligible studies, extracted the data, and assessed the quality of evidence using the Downs and Black checklist. Case‐control studies were included if they involved balance assessment of any kind of headache, including objective outcome measures of dynamic and static tests such as body sway displacement, limits of stability (LOS), gait, and tandem walk tests. A meta‐analysis and post hoc sensitivity analyses were performed when possible.ResultsTwenty‐two studies (1202 patients with headache and 597 controls) were included in this review and 16 of them in the meta‐analysis. Risk of bias ranged from low to moderate among all studies. Greater sway area in static posturography was shown by patients with migraine in comparison to controls, with more consistent differences in more challenging test conditions, such as over a foam surface with eyes closed (difference of 4.8 cm2, 95% CI: 3.8–5.9). Lower performance of patients with migraine during the tandem walk test (difference of −7.8 cm/s, 95% CI: −9.0 to −6.5) and slower reaction time in the LOS test (difference of 0.3 s, 95% CI: 0.2–0.4) were also verified. There is no evidence of altered sway velocity and length in static posturography among patients with migraine (p > 0.05). The level of evidence is very low for balance alteration of any kind among patients with tension‐type and cervicogenic headache owing to the limited number of studies and high heterogeneity.ConclusionThis review confirmed the presence of static and dynamic balance alterations among patients with migraine. Future studies with low risk of bias are needed to decrease heterogeneity in methodology and explore the role of subdiagnosis on the balance of patients with headache.

Published: March 2022

AbstractObjectiveTo explore the availability and accessibility of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) for people living with HIV in Europe, including the feasibility of cross‐border care.MethodsWe used a polymorphous engagement approach, primarily based on digital and email‐based interviews with representatives of national HIV organizations, clinical researchers (infectious disease and/or infertility specialists), European and national professional societies (fertility and/or infectious disease), national regulatory authorities and individual clinics in 14 countries in the WHO European region. The research design and results were also informed by two surveys and a review of the secondary literature, news articles and clinic websites.ResultsAlthough MAR is possible for people living with HIV in 12 out of the 14 countries mapped, accessing services can be challenging for logistical or financial reasons. People living with HIV also face barriers to MAR independent of their HIV status, such as limitations on single women and same‐sex couples accessing services. Cross‐border care is available for most patients who are self‐financing but is limited for publicly funded patients.ConclusionsEven when MAR is available to and accessible for people living with HIV, there may still be barriers to treatment. Further research on patient experiences is needed to understand these discrepancies between availability and accessibility on paper and in practice.
Feeling the absence of justice: Notes on our pathological reliance on punitive justice
Authors: Chamberlen Anastasia , Carvalho Henrique 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis article critically examines our relationship with justice in contemporary Western liberal settings, with a particular focus on why our pursuit of justice is intimately entangled with punitive logics. It starts by arguing that we have a predominantly pathological approach to justice, in the sense that it follows a logic that is akin to that displayed in contemporary sensibilities regarding bodily pain. We deploy Drew Leder's concept of ‘dys‐appearance’ to discuss how, in Western liberal societies, justice is primarily experienced negatively as a phenomenon; that is, we mainly become conscious of justice through the painful and episodic experience of injustice. We then explore this phenomenological quality of justice which, we argue, is linked to how the pursuit of justice in these settings predominantly takes a hostile, punitive aspect. The article concludes by exploring how this punitive impulse can be resisted, through what we term a ‘lived sense of justice’.
What a shame! Restorative justice's guilty secret
Authors: Wilson Amanda 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIn this article, I address a long‐standing issue confronting restorative justice: its shaky ethical foundation. Leading restorative justice theorists have pursued an ethics of shame that has marginalised guilt (and remorse). The resulting shame‐oriented concepts do not adequately capture the complex moral and psychological phenomena that the ethics of restorative justice requires. In part, this is because theorists have failed to account for the depths, not only of guilt, but of shame as well. These depths, I argue, are to be found in Freudian metapsychology. Guilt and shame have primitive and mature forms. It is only through understanding the difference between these formations that we can see how it is that the mature formations are related in ways that are essential to understanding restorative justice. I conclude that that the mature guilt‐and‐shame complex developed in the article provides the grounds for an adequate ethical foundation for restorative justice.

Published: March 2022

AbstractAimTo develop a protocol and provide a valid, evidence‐based procedure for identifying the ergonomic risk of working postures by occupational health nurses.BackgroundAlthough ergonomic risk assessment tools have been used for the early detection of risky working postures, their operational procedures and validations do not target the competence of occupational nursing personnel.DesignThis study developed and validated an educational protocol, comprised of 13 procedures in five stages. First, the number of work tasks in the workplace is determined. Second, the working postures are confirmed. Third, the raters are trained to use the assessment tools. Fourth, high‐risk postures are identified and categorized. Fifth, the inter‐rater reliability of the tool is reported. The content of the protocol is validated by experts, with a validity value of 0.87.Data sourcesThe protocol was created through review of literature published from 1991 to 2021, protocol development (between 2018 to 2020) and expert validation (2020).ConclusionThe protocol can be applied to educate occupational health nurses and increase their competence in detecting workers' ergonomic risks. It can be used as a reference in occupational health nursing education to evaluate work tasks and detect risky postures.
Foreign‐funded credit: Funding the credit cycle?
Authors: Duijm Patty 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study investigates what drives the credit cycle, focusing on the role of foreign‐funded bank credit (FFC). Considering credit cycles in 41 countries over the period 1985–2015, this study finds that credit booms are associated with an increase in the share of FFC in an economy. This especially holds for emerging economies and for credit provided to nonfinancial corporations. The increased credit needs during a boom may cause the substitution of domestically funded credit by FFC, as the growth in FFC is less restricted than domestically funded credit, such as the domestic deposit base.

Published: March 2022

AbstractNursing in psychiatric inpatient care is peripheral to a dominating biomedical model of care. Efforts are being made to implement nursing models based on core values and theories for nursing, such as recovery‐oriented practices. The aim of the study was to explore experiences of a recovery‐oriented nursing programme (Steps Towards Recovery, STR) among nursing staff in psychiatric inpatient care and their ratings of stress (Maslach Burnout Inventory scores), quality of care (Quality of Psychiatric Care ‐ Inpatient staff scores) and satisfaction with nursing care (Satisfaction with Nursing Care and Work scale scores), before and after the implementation—and compare with ratings from reference wards. A quasi‐experimental and prospective, pretest–post‐test design was used. Specific questions about the nursing programme were answered by staff at the intervention wards. Staff reported predominantly positive experiences of the nursing programme. At follow‐up, higher ratings were reported in two dimensions of quality of care in the STR group, and lower ratings in one dimension of stress were evident in the reference group. No differences in ratings between the STR and reference wards were found. Staff members' positive experiences of STR and higher ratings regarding participation and secure environment after implementation suggest that STR is a well‐accepted and promising nursing programme. It is important to implement and evaluate recovery‐oriented interventions in psychiatric inpatient care, where a focus on symptom relief still prevails. The results indicate that there is potential for further exploration of STR in this context.

Published: March 2022

AbstractSocial restrictions interrupted the circulation of common respiratory viruses among children in spring 2020. In the winter season 2020–2021, only rhinovirus spread in Finland. As the restrictions were ended in September 2021, we saw record high epidemic peak of parainfluenza. Typically, the epidemic peak is in springtime, but now, it started in the early fall 2021. The monthly incidence among children aged 0–4 years (120 per 100,000 children) was six times higher than the second highest reported monthly incidence (21 per 100,000 children) during the last 10 years. Our finding highlights the importance of active surveillance of viral respiratory pathogens during the pandemic.

Published: March 2022

AbstractProblemThis study aimed to determine the effects of a nursing support program (NSP) based on the Roy Adaptation Model on the psychosocial adaptation of girls with precocious puberty and their mothers.MethodsThis study adopted a pre‐post design. It included 26 girls diagnosed with precocious puberty and their mothers. Data were collected using a Demographic Information Form; the Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 6–18; and the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale. Participants were then enrolled in a NSP based on the Roy Adaptation Model. The same measures were administered at the end of the support program to the participants.FindingsIt was determined that at the beginning of the program, approximately one‐third of the mothers had depression, 15% anxiety, and approximately 20% experienced stress. Mothers' anxiety and stress levels and girls' anxiety/depression and total problem scores significantly decreased after the NSP.ConclusionsThe NSP designed for this study positively affected the psychosocial problems of girls with precocious puberty and their mothers.
