“Autism research is in crisis”: A mixed method study of researcher’s constructions of autistic people and autism research
Authors: Botha Monique , Cage Eilidh 
Published: November 2022

IntroductionWhile not all autism research is ableism, autism researchers can be ableist, including by talking about autistic people in sub-human terms (dehumanization), treating autistic people like objects (objectification), and making othering statements which set autistic people apart from non-autistic people,andbelow in status (stigmatization).MethodThis mixed-method study aimed to investigate how autism researchers construct autistic people and autism research, and to investigate whether including autistic people more in research relates to lower ableism in narratives about autistic people. We used a survey with autism researchers (N= 195) asking five open-ended questions about autism and autism research, as well as demographics, career length, contact with autistic people (familial and non-familial) and degree to which researchers involve autistic people in their research. We used content analysis to categorize narratives used by autism researchers and cues for ableism (dehumanization, objectification, and stigmatization). We then used binary-logistic regression to identify whether narrative or higher inclusion of autistic people predicted fewer ableist cues, controlling for career length and connections to autistic people.Results and discussionUsing medicalized narratives of autism predicted higher odds of ableist cues compared to employing social model or neutral embodiment narratives. Greater inclusion of autistic people in research predicted significantly lower odds of ableist cues, while controlling for other contact with autistic people and career length. Next, we used reflexive thematic analysis to analyze researcher’s perceptions of autistic people and autism research. Narratives reflected core ideological disagreements of the field, such as whether researchers consider autism to be an intrinsic barrier to a good life, and whether researchers prioritize research which tackles “autism” versus barriers to societal inclusion for autistic people. Instrumentality (a form of objectification) was key to whether researchers considered a person to have social value with emphasis revolving around intellectual ability and independence. Lastly, language seemed to act as a tool of normalization of violence. Researchers relied on an amorphous idea of “autism” when talking about prevention or eradication, potentially because it sounds more palatable than talking about preventing “autistic people,” despite autism only existing within the context of autistic people.

ObjectiveReminiscence therapy (RT) ameliorates psychological problems and quality of life in cancer patients. However, no study reports its effect on older papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. This study intended to investigate the effect of the RT-care program (CP) on anxiety, depression, quality of life, and survival in older PTC patients.MethodsEighty-six postoperative older PTC patients were enrolled and randomly assigned to RT-CP group (N = 44) and usual (U)-CP group (N = 42) as a 1:1 ratio for a 6-month intervention. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Quality of Life Questionnaire-Core 30 (QLQ-C30) scores were assessed at baseline, month (M)1, M2, M4, and M6.ResultsHADS and QLQ-C30 scores at baseline were not different between two groups. Additionally, HADS-anxiety score at M6 (p = 0.029), and HADS-depression score at M2 (p = 0.030), M4 (p = 0.029), M6 (p = 0.012) were reduced in RT-CP group versus U-CP group. Meanwhile, anxiety and depression rates from M1 to M6 were slightly decreased in RT-CP group versus U-CP group but did not reach statistical significance. Furthermore, depression severity at M6 was reduced in RT-CP group versus U-CP group (p = 0.049). Besides, QLQ-C30 global health status was increased at M2 (p = 0.023) and M6 (p = 0.033), QLQ-C30 function score was elevated at M2 (p = 0.040) and M4 (p = 0.035), while QLQ-C30 symptom score was decreased at M2 (p = 0.046) in RT-CP group versus U-CP group. Moreover, disease-free survival and overall survival were not different between two groups.ConclusionRT-CP may be a potential intervention for ameliorating anxiety, depression, and quality of life in older PTC patients.

BackgroundConcerning the changes in the prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs), we estimate the prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), intellectual disorder (ID), and learning disability (LD) among US children and adolescents aged 3–17 years in 2019 and 2020.MethodsThe study includes 14,983 US children and adolescents aged 3–17 years in 2019 and 2020 from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Parents were interviewed about whether their children ever and/or currently had NDDs diagnosed. Prevalence estimates of NDDs were calculated with a survey-based weighting scheme. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations between NDDs prevalence and subgroups.ResultsThe weighted prevalence of ADHD, ASD, ID, and LD was 8.5% (95% CI: 7.9–9.2%), 2.9% (95% CI: 2.6–3.4%), 1.4% (95% CI: 1.2–1.7%), and 6.4% (95% CI: 5.8–7.0%), respectively. A higher prevalence of ADHD, ASD, ID, and LD was observed in boys, those who ever had anxiety or depression symptoms, those with lower family income, those living in a rented house, ever been bullied, and ever lived with anyone mentally ill.ConclusionThe study found the prevalence of ADHD, ASD, ID, and LD was different by demographics, comorbidity/mental problems, household/parental characteristics, and stressful life events.

ObjectiveAs life with COVID-19 became a norm in 2022, the public's demand for and perception of COVID-19-related information has changed. This study analyzed the performance and responses of Healthy China and the public at various stages of COVID-19 normalization using the crisis and emergency risk communication (CERC) theory.MethodsThis study was based on the 2022 Shanghai COVID-19 outbreak and data from “Healthy China,” the official TikTok account of the National Health Commission of the People's Republic of China (NHCC). First, we divided the Shanghai lockdown into five stages in accordance with the CERC. Second, the videos released by Healthy China were open-coded. Third, to understand the distribution of strategies across the stages, we used counts and percentages to summarize the categorical variables. Fourth, we investigated the distribution of public participation indicators using descriptive statistical analysis. Finally, the relationship between stage and communication strategy was examined using the chi-square test and negative binomial regression.Results(1) Healthy China adopted a more flexible approach to communication strategies; (2) new cases per day was the commonly used substrategy for uncertainty reduction; (3) there was a significant difference in the strategies used by Healthy China at different stages; (4) public participation was highest in the pre-crisis period; and (5) the stage had a significant positive impact on the number of views, favorites, likes, and shares.ConclusionsThis research provides insight into effective communication strategies for the government or public health agencies to employ during COVID-19 normalization.

ObjectiveThe aim of our study was to assess the prevalence and geographic variation of obesity-related hypertension in China among adults aged 45 years or older.MethodsData were derived from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2015. Stratified sample households covered 150 counties/districts and 450 villages/urban communities from 28 provinces by using household questionnaires, clinical measurements, and blood-based bioassays. A multivariable non-conditional logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk factors correlated with obesity-related hypertension.ResultsThe prevalence of obesity-related hypertension was 22.7%, ~120 million people, among adults aged 45 years or older in China. For people in the age ranges of 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and ≥75 years, the prevalence of obesity-related hypertension was 16.7, 24.3, 27, and 26.7%, respectively, and the prevalence of obesity-related hypertension among hypertensive participants was 66.0, 60.9, 54.2, and 47.3%, respectively. Compared with non-obesity-related hypertension, the obesity-related hypertensive patients had a higher prevalence of diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia (all P &lt; 0.0001). The prevalence of obesity-related hypertension showed a decreasing gradient from north to south and from east to west. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that female gender, living in urban areas, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemia, and hyperuricemia were positively correlated with obesity-related hypertension.ConclusionThe prevalence of obesity-related hypertension among adults aged 45 years or older was high in China. Among hypertensive participants, older age was negatively correlated with obesity-related hypertension. Obesity-related hypertensive participants are more prone to aggregation of risk factors of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

The Need: Understanding and predicting the major phenomena taking place in the solar corona, such as flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), the heating and evolution of the solar atmosphere, and the acceleration of the solar wind, are fundamental challenges to predict our own star. These challenges are related to the solar magnetism and to the physical properties of solar plasmas: meeting them requires two types of measurements: (A) Spectrally resolved, simultaneous observations of the entire corona in multiple spectral lines emitted by chromospheric to hot coronal plasmas at high spatial resolution and cadence for long periods of time; and (B) Coronal magnetic field measurements.The Problem: The current fleet of space instruments suffers from three main limitations: (A) EUV narrow-band imagers provide simultaneous 2D images of the corona, but lack adequate plasma diagnostic capabilities; (B) High-resolution EUV spectrometers have the required diagnostic potential, but their narrow field of view prevents a continuous and simultaneous coverage of the entire corona. (C) No current instrument can measure the global coronal magnetic field.The Solution: Visible to near-IR coronagraphs coupled to tunable filters combine the strengths of both EUV high resolution spectrometers and EUV imagers in one single instrument by 1) providing 2D images of the whole field of view at a single wavelength; 2) spectrally resolving individual lines near-simultaneously across the entire field of view, and 3) measuring the magnetic field through polarimetry. The proposed Coronal Solar Magnetism Observatory (COSMO) visible to near-IR coronagraph would allow the measurement of: (A) simultaneous plasma thermal structure of the whole solar corona and CMEs; (B) plasma velocity vector; and (C) coronal magnetic field. The technology behind visible/near-IR coronagraphs coupled to tunable filters is mature; ground-based implementation of such instruments would provide long-term, easily-upgradable data sets.

IntroductionBangladesh's quest to achieve sustainable development goals has highlighted the need to enhance resilience against the challenges that interconnected food, energy, and water (FEW) nexus systems faces to support human well-being. The government has decided to promote the adoption of competent and cutting-edge technologies that can significantly contribute to balancing energy and water resource utilization in achieving a more sustainable and climate-smart food production system. Hence, scaled-up adoption of solar-powered irrigation systems and recommended fertilizer dose (SIRFD) applications were proposed. This study, to provide practical policy implications, attempts to identify the determinants and impact of SIRFD adoption in water-scarce areas of Bangladesh.MethodsDeterminants of adoption were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression, and the adoption impact was analyzed using treatment effect models.ResultsThe results revealed that land typology, soil fertility perception, soil water retention, knowledge, environmental awareness, secondary income, close acquaintance adoption, and cash availability significantly influenced adoption decisions. The treatment effect model result indicated that farmers who adopted both technologies could reduce production costs by 1.36% and obtain an 8.92% higher ROI than non-adopters.ConclusionThe study findings suggest that policy interventions on scaling up SIRFD adoption require focusing on knowledge development village-based demonstration activities, group farming models backed by micro-finance, and avoiding launching conflicting schemes.

IntroductionPorcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) is considered one of the viruses with substantial economic impact on swine industry in the word. Recently, porcine circovirus type 3 (PCV3) has been found to be associated with porcine dermatitis and nephropathy syndrome (PDNS)-like disease. And the two viruses were prone to co-infect clinically.MethodsTo further investigate the prevalence and genetic diversity of the two viruses, 257 pig samples from 23 different pig farms in southwest China with suspected PCVAD at different growth stages were analyzed by real-time PCR between 2020 and 2022 to determine the presence of PCV2 and PCV3.ResultsResults showed high prevalence of PCV2 and PCV3: 26.46% samples were PCV2 positive and 33.46% samples were PCV3 positive. The coinfection rate was doubled from 2020 (5.75%) to 2022 (10.45%). Subsequently, the whole genome sequences of 13 PCV2 and 18 PCV3 strains were obtained in this study. Of these, 1 strain was PCV2a, 5 strains were PCV2b and 7 strains were PCV2d, indicating that PCV2d was the predominant PCV2 genotype prevalent in the Southwest of China.DiscussionIn addition, the phylogenetic analysis of PCV3 showed high nucleotide homology (&gt;98%) between the sequences obtained in this study and reference sequences. And 3 mutations (A24V, R27K and E128D) were found in PCV3 antibody recognition domains, which might be related to the mechanism of viral immune escape. Thus, this study will enhance our understanding of the molecular epidemiology and evolution of PCV2 and PCV3, which are conducive to the further study of the genotyping, immunogenicity and immune evasion of PCVs.

Em razão das interações com o meio, a escolha das espécies em projetos de reflorestamentos e sistemas agroflorestais deve ser considerada, principalmente no que se refere à ecologia e ao seu comportamento silvicultural. A competição execida pelas plantas espontâneas e forrageiras pode reduzir o desenvolvimento das culturas e espécies florestais. O trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a capacidade competitiva das sete cascas com espécies forrageiras e espontâneas. O experimento foi conduzido em delineamento experimental de blocos ao acaso, com 4 repetições e 15 tratamentos, sendo o desenvolvimento da sete cascas isolado, representando a testemunha e em competição com as seguintes espécies: Brachiaria decumbens, Andropogon gayanus, Brachiaria brizantha, Panicum maximum, Bidens pilosa, Cenchrus echinatus, e Mollugo verticillata. Foram avaliadas taxas de crescimento em altura e em diâmetro do coleto, matéria seca da parte aérea (MSPA), matéria seca da raiz (MSR) e matéria seca total (MST). Nas condições avaliadas, a espécie Mollugo verticullata proporcionou as menores taxas de crescimento em altura e em diâmetro nas mudas de sete cascas, não ocorrendo interferência pelas demais espécies estudadas. A sete cascas em consórcio com Cenchrus echinatus obteve a menor produção de matéria seca de raiz.

O setor da construção civil e um dos setores de maior movimentação na economia do país, conforme A indústria brasileira da construção elevou em abril a previsão de crescimento neste ano de 2% para 2,5%, segundo dados divulgados pela Câmara Brasileira da Indústria da Construção (CBIC). O objetivo do trabalho é realizar um estudo de caso sobre a execução de terraplanagem em obras de construção civil. Optou-se para esse artigo tratar do tema “Terraplanagem nas obras de construção civil” com base nos dados coletados em campo e na literatura científica no qual traz uma análise mais técnica e específica sobre a terraplanagem, tendo em vista a sua natureza de aplicabilidade para o ramo nas obras de construção civil. A terraplanagem é uma técnica que consiste em cortar e retirar o excesso de terra de um ambiente a fim de deixar a região nivelada. A proposta de discussão do estudo de caso teve como base a execução da preparação de um terreno para a construção de uma casa de alto padrão que será construída em um condomínio situado no bairro da Ponta Negra, localizada na zona oeste do município de Manaus. Por fim levando em consideração os aspectos apresentados no presente artigo concluiu-se que estudos sobre a terraplanagem tem uma grande importância nas construções civis, pois ela é a base da maioria das obras. Por mais que pareça simples, a técnica é primordial para uma obra ser iniciada, além de que, se feita sem a supervisão de bons profissionais, problemas como erosão e deslizamento de terra podem aparecer futuramente.

A pelve é uma divisão anatômica do corpo humano, em cuja cavidade há a bexiga, o reto e parte do cólon descendente bem como, nas mulheres, o útero, as tubas uterinas e os ovários. Várias são as afecções que podem acometer a essa parte do corpo. A ressonância magnética (RM) configura-se, nesse cenário, como um dos principais exames de imagem no diagnóstico, avaliação e seguimento de doenças pélvicas, sendo considerada o padrão-ouro para avaliação desse segmento anatômico. É uma metodologia de imagem que tem vantagens sobre outros métodos, sobretudo a ausência de exposição à radiação ionizante, o que favorecesua utilização em grupos de risco. A Fundação Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará (FSCMPA) é considerada um dos maiores hospitais de referência em ginecologia-obstetrícia e saúde da mulher da região Norte do Brasil, sendo referência para mais de 144 municípios. Considerando a importância da FSCMPA na atenção à saúde da mulher é importante identificar e mapear as indicações de ressonância magnética (RM) da pelve feminina realizadas no serviço de Radiologia desse hospital. Por isso, o objetivo do presente trabalho é verificar as indicações de ressonância magnética na Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará quanto ao seu número, motivação e adequação às indicações da literatura mais atual sobre o assunto. Foram avaliados 224 prontuários, totalizando 224 pacientes. As principais indicações para realização de RM da pelve feminina, nos meses de Janeiro a Julho de 2022, foram: leiomioma (49), sem dados (33), endometriose (31), cisto ovariano (23), dor pélvica (15) e neoplasia ovariana (10), massa pélvica (6), adenomiose (4), mola hidatiforme (4) e placenta prévia (4). As principais indicações de RM, na literatura mais atual, podem ser encontradas nas diretrizes das principais sociedades de Radiologia do mundo, tal como a ESUR - European Society of Urogenital Radiology e o ACR - American College of Radiology. Comparando as indicações dessas sociedades com aquelas mais prevalentes na Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará, no período referido acima, pode-se perceber que as indicações realizada no serviço vem ao encontro daquilo prescrito pela literatura especializada. Mais estudos são necessários para caracterizar melhor essa realidade.
