Published: August 2022

AbstractInsect pollinators, including bees and wasps, are facing a marked decline in their native populations, caused mainly by human activities, such as forest fragmentation, urbanization, and the use of agrochemicals. To help mitigate the rapid decline of pollinators, new efforts towards understanding basic and applied aspects of these organisms are necessary. Among these efforts, there is a focus on increasing the sampling efficiency, including a broader range of targeted groups and collection methods. Although each method has its advantages and disadvantages, the pollinators' crisis calls for alternative methods to analyze bee and wasp diversity and population dynamics. Here, we assess the potential role of incidental captures of bees and wasps by a method widely used to collect ants but not targeted for bees: arboreal pitfall traps. We compared the sampling efficiency of human urine‐baited arboreal pitfall traps and two traditional methods for bee sampling: pan traps and scent traps. Arboreal pitfalls collected a high diversity of bees and sphecoid wasps, and when compared with pan traps and scent traps, they had the highest species richness and the second‐highest abundance. Although the three trapping methods shared most species, each method collected particular groups of species, and there were indicator species for each trapping method. When used in pairs with pan traps, arboreal pitfalls collected a higher species diversity than pan traps paired with scent traps. In addition, each trapping method responded differently to seasonal variation, and although arboreal pitfalls had lower diversity during the rainy season, scent traps detected differences only in species abundance, and pan traps detected no differences at all. Our study reinforces the importance of complementary methods in sampling bees and wasps and the use of non‐traditional methods to increase the sampling coverage of these insects.

Published: August 2022

AbstractIntroductionA complete functional assessment is essential to measure health status and treatment effects in patients with haemophilia. The Patient‐Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) is a reliable, valid, simple and quick scale that measures physical function in patients with musculoskeletal disorders. However, the reliability and validity of the PSFS have not been evaluated in patients with haemophilia.AimThe aim of this study was to validate the Patient‐Specific Functional Scale in patients with haemophilia.MethodsTwenty‐eight patients with haemophilia participated in the study. They completed the PSFS and the Haemophilia Activity List (HAL) scales by telephone during an initial session, and then repeated the assessment in a follow‐up session 1 week apart. Reliability was analysed by the internal correlation coefficient (ICC), the standard error of measurement (SEM) and the smallest detectable change (SDC). The concurrent validity of the PSFS was determined by correlating the initial score of the PSFS scale to the initial score of the HAL scale. Correlations were calculated by means of scatter plots and Pearson product‐moment r correlation coefficient.ResultsICC and SEM values showed excellent reliability for the PSFS scale, with a SDC of 1. A significant moderate correlation was found between the results of the PSFS and the HAL (r = .57, P < .001).ConclusionThe PSFS is a reliable and valid scale to measure the functionality of people with haemophilia.

AbstractIntroductionAnalysis of measurable residual disease (MRD) is increasingly being implemented in the clinical care of children and adults with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). However, MRD methodologies differ and discordances in results lead to difficulties in interpretation and clinical decision‐making. The aim of this study was to compare results from reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT‐qPCR) and multiparameter flow cytometry (MFC) in childhood AML and describe the kinetics of residual leukaemic burden during induction treatment.MethodsIn 15 children who were treated in the NOPHO‐AML 2004 trial and had fusion transcripts quantified by RT‐qPCR, we compared MFC with RT‐qPCR for analysis of MRD during (day 15) and after induction therapy. Eight children had RUNX1::RUNX1T1, one CBFB::MYH11 and six KMT2A::MLLT3.ResultsWhen ≥0.1% was used as cut‐off for positivity, 10 of 22 samples were discordant. The majority (9/10) were MRD positive with RT‐qPCR but MRD negative with MFC, and several such cases showed the presence of mature myeloid cells. Fusion transcript expression was verified in mature cells as well as in CD34 expressing cells sorted from diagnostic samples.ConclusionsMeasurement with RT‐qPCR suggests slower response kinetics than indicated from MFC, presumably due to the presence of mature cells expressing fusion transcript. The prognostic impact of early measurements with RT‐qPCR remains to be determined.
Evolution of antibiotic resistance impacts optimal temperature and growth rate in Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus epidermidis

Published: August 2022

Abstract

Aims
Bacterial response to temperature changes can influence their pathogenicity to plants and humans. Changes in temperature can affect cellular and physiological responses in bacteria that can in turn affect the evolution and prevalence of antibiotic-resistance genes. Yet, how antibiotic-resistance genes influence microbial temperature response is poorly understood.

Methods and Results
We examined growth rates and physiological responses to temperature in two species—E. coli and Staph. epidermidis—after evolved resistance to 13 antibiotics. We found that evolved resistance results in species-, strain- and antibiotic-specific shifts in optimal temperature. When E. coli evolves resistance to nucleic acid and cell wall inhibitors, their optimal growth temperature decreases, and when Staph. epidermidis and E. coli evolve resistance to protein synthesis and their optimal temperature increases. Intriguingly, when Staph. epidermidis evolves resistance to Teicoplanin, fitness also increases in drug-free environments, independent of temperature response.

Conclusion
Our results highlight how the complexity of antibiotic resistance is amplified when considering physiological responses to temperature.

Significance
Bacteria continuously respond to changing temperatures—whether through increased body temperature during fever, climate change or other factors. It is crucial to understand the interactions between antibiotic resistance and temperature.

AbstractAimRetaining nurses on the job is vital, and their successful retention is related to the organizational climates (OC) of healthcare settings. The purpose was to develop and test the psychometric properties of the Perceived Organizational Climate Scale (POCS).DesignThe methodologic research design was used by following the scale development strategies by DeVellis (2017). The conceptual framework for this study was based on the broader theoretical framework of the Competing Value Framework (CVF) of Quinn et al. (2015), the concept analysis and extensive literature review (1939–2018), and combined with the inductive qualitative data.MethodsA two‐phase study of scale construction and psychometric testing was conducted for content validation, construct validation and internal consistency reliabilities of the instrument. An expert panel validated the 4‐point scale, followed by exploratory factor analysis, the known‐group approach and split groups. Data were collected from (1161) registered nurses in eight general hospitals across Myanmar from August 2019 to September 2020.ResultsThe 35 items with four essential dimensions: transformational climate, bureaucratic climate, team climate and strategic climate, explained almost 50% of the variation with all factor loading greater than .40. The internal consistency reliabilities of the instrument showed the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of .93, and the dimensions were from .82 to .85. As hypothesized, the known‐group approach demonstrated that experienced nurses had higher mean scores than novices. The internal consistency reliabilities of the scale and dimensions across the splitting groups illustrated the stability.ConclusionThis evidence supports this instrument as having satisfactory initial psychometric properties with a comprehensive picture of OC by its essential components contributing to an inclusive understanding of this climate globally.ImpactThis instrument can be used as an objective tool for evaluating OC as perceived by nurses in healthcare settings to inform improvements in working environments.

AbstractSite fidelity and aggregation behaviour were assessed for giant sea bass Stereolepis gigas (GSB) at Santa Barbara Island, California, USA, from 2018 to 2020. Results indicate seasonal variation in GSB presence, and network analyses revealed a preferred location in a spatially constrained pattern, indicative of aggregation behaviour. Results show GSB aggregated annually during spawning months in the same location, confirming the first known aggregation of GSB at Santa Barbara Island. Identifying and monitoring aggregation sites is vital to ensuring proper protection and ultimate recovery for this protected species in a changing climate.

AbstractBackgroundOver 5 million older Americans are victims of financial exploitation, schemes, and/or scams per year. Such victimization is associated with increased hospitalizations, admittance to skilled nursing facilities, and lower 5‐year all‐cause mortality survival rates. Despite this, associations with medical comorbidities like elevated blood pressure (BP) have not been examined.MethodsWe investigated the association of self‐reported fraud victimization (presence/absence) with objectively measured BP metrics leveraging cross‐sectional and longitudinal data from over 1200 non‐demented adults (75% female; age ~81 years) from the Rush Memory and Aging Project. We first examined cross‐sectional associations between baseline fraud victimization and BP, then used longitudinal data to test the hypothesis that fraud victimization is associated with increases in BP after incident fraud. During up to 11 years of annual observation, participants were queried for fraud victimization and underwent serial BP measurements to calculate per visit averages of systolic and diastolic BP, mean arterial pressure (MAP), and pulse pressure.ResultsCross‐sectional analyses established that fraud victimization at baseline was associated with higher BP values. Next, using longitudinal changepoint analyses, we showed that fraud victimization was associated with elevations in BP among men but not women. Specifically, men who reported incident fraud exhibited increases in all BP metrics post‐fraud.ConclusionResults suggest an important link between fraud victimization and BP, particularly among men. Older men showed significant elevations in BP after incident fraud that, compounded over time, may portend other adverse health outcomes.
Agrarian movements and rural populism in Indonesia
Authors: White Ben , Graham Colum , Savitri Laksmi 
Published: August 2022

AbstractIn this article, we reflect on the changing trajectories of agrarian movements in Indonesia. In the two decades after independence, a left‐populist alliance of peasants, plantation workers, and other affiliate organizations achieved a mass following and were embraced by President Sukarno. In the aftermath of their violent destruction, the Suharto regime reordered agrarian movements into a single corporatist model. Suharto's downfall opened the way for the re‐emergence of agrarian organizations and movements. But two decades later, they remain small and fragmented, with little influence at the national level. In the changing conditions of rural life, and the increasingly authoritarian political context, progressive rural movements face dilemmas on questions both of their focus and goals and of tactical alliances with other progressive movements and political elites. A broader, more inclusive progressive populist alliance is a possibility, but with the continuing danger of co‐optation by forces of the populist right.
Beyond environmental imagination: Revisiting J.R.R. Tolkien's literary landscapes inThe Lord of the Rings(1954–1955)
Authors: Mohammadi Farid 
Published: August 2022

AbstractJ.R.R. Tolkien (1892–1973) was highly influential in shaping modern fantasy literature and popularising medievalism. Scholarship has examined various aspects of Tolkien's literary imagination inThe Lord of the Rings(1954–1955); however, to date, there has been no thorough scrutiny of the significance of aesthetics in his creative works. This paper contends that Tolkien's magnum opus as part of his long‐life myth‐making project was shaped profoundly by the late 18th‐century aesthetics of the sublime. It draws on Burkean physiological sublime to argue that contrary to Kantian rationality, certain Tolkienian landscapes demonstrate the qualities of the natural sublime and generate physical experiences on the observer that accentuates the primacy of emotions over reason. The article proposes a new direction in Tolkien studies by highlighting the aesthetic overtones of Tolkien's engagement with the sublime, which played a significant role in constructing his English mythology.

AbstractBackgroundMalassezia folliculitis (MF) is a humid‐favoured fungal skin disease caused by Malassezia species. Inaccurate treatments, changes in skin flora and disease exacerbation are often occurred due to oversights in the diagnosis. Several diagnostic methods are established for MF.ObjectiveTo identify clinico‐laboratory findings of Malassezia folliculitis in Indonesia.MethodsThe study was conducted from January 2014 to December 2018 in seven referral teaching hospitals. Medical records of MF‐diagnosed patients were obtained and analysed using the binomial test, chi‐square test and Cohen's Kappa coefficient in SPSS 26.0.ResultsA total of 353 cases of MF were identified in seven referral teaching hospitals in Indonesia, 66.3% of which were males and 33.7% were females, dominated by the 17–25 years old group (44.5%). Itchy sensation (83.9%) was a major subjective complaint. Lesions were majorly found on the trunk‐chest, back and shoulder (68.3%), while the clinical manifestation are mostly follicular papule‐pustular lesions (62.1%). Patients were 87.4% positive by KOH examination (modified Jacinto Jamora's criteria) and 69.1% positive by Wood's lamp. Generally, sex, age, subjective complaint, lesion location, clinical manifestation and both examinations were statistically significant (p < .001). A significant relationship between all the clinical criteria of the patients in the KOH especially the clinical manifestation was significantly related to Wood's lamp. The Cohen's Kappa assessment suggested that there was an agreement between KOH and Wood's lamp (κ = −0.272, p < .001).ConclusionThe clinical symptoms of Malassezia folliculitis are dominated by pruritus, papulopustular follicular lesions on the trunk and the presence of spore load.

Published: August 2022

AbstractLand use land cover (LULC) dynamics have long been recognized as a significant driver of natural resource change. As a result, understanding the spatial and temporal variation of LULC in the watershed is essential for effective natural resource management and long‐term development. This study attempts to analyze the dynamics and change drivers from 1990 to 2020 and predict the situation for 2035 and 2050 in the Ajora‐Woybo watershed. ArcGIS 10.3 and ERDAS 2015 were used to analyze quantitative data from Landsat imagery. For supervised image classification, a Maximum‐Likelihood classification algorithm was used. To identify driver variables, focus groups and key informants' interviews were done. TerrSet 18.31 software was used to predict LULC utilizing the Multi‐Layer Perceptron Neural Network and Cellular Automata‐Markov Chain models incorporated in Land Change Modeler. Six LULC classes were discovered: cultivated land, built‐up, shrub land, forest land, bare land, and water body. Cultivated land, built‐up area, and bare land have increased at the expense of shrub land and forest land over the last three decades. Trends in water bodies show both decreasing and increasing trends. According to the predicted outcomes, cultivated land, built‐up and bare land has increased, while shrub land and forest land have declined. Finally, agricultural expansion, population growth, wood extraction, resettlement, urbanization, and lack of environmental consideration were identified as the major drivers of LULC change. The study demonstrated that there have been significant changes in the watershed LULC. As a result, reversing the predicted conditions is critical to ensuring the watershed long‐term viability.

Facilitation of weed seed predation by living mulch and cover crops
Authors: Schumacher Matthias , Gerhards Roland 
Published: August 2022

AbstractWeed seed predation (WSP) is an important agro‐ecosystem service that naturally suppresses weed populations. Disturbances directly interfere with the activity of the seed predators, for example, harvest and soil tillage during a peak in weed seed availability (around cereal harvest). Plant soil cover and reduced soil tillage are factors that might positively affect WSP. We investigated cover crops and living mulch along with soil disturbance (no‐till and conventional seeding) in comparison to a fallow and repeated stubble tillage with a chisel plough in terms of WSP, activity‐density of carabid beetles and soil cover. A field experiment with a randomised complete block design and four replications was conducted at two sites from 2017 until 2019. WSP rates were assessed with seed cards and exclosure cages from July until November during a period of eight consecutive days each month. Living mulch exhibited the highest WSP rates of 72% with a maximum of 95% immediately following cereal harvest in August and September of 2017 and 2019, while the remainder of the treatments ranged from 2% to 5% WSP. In October and November mustard showed on average twice as high WSP rates compared to the other treatments (50% vs. 10%–25%). Seeding and soil tillage did not significantly influence carabid beetle activity‐density and WSP, except for living mulch. Predator groups (invertebrates and vertebrates) were not influenced by the various treatments, rather year and month determined the predator groups dominance. Besides their weed suppressive effects, living mulches and cover crops also facilitate WSP.

Published: August 2022

AbstractIn contact analysis, reducing the computing time has been an issue under the premise of ensuring calculation accuracy around the region with violent stress changes. To improve computational efficiency for contact analysis in flexible multibody system, this paper proposes an adaptive local mesh refinement and coarsening approach based on analysis-suitable T-splines (ASTS). First, the kinematic model of thin plate is established based on analysis-suitable T-spline surface, and large deformation of flexible thin plate is described by the elastic model created by nonlinear Green–Lagrange strain. Second, to reduce computing time in contact analysis and ensure analysis accuracy, based on contact state and refinement distance, an effective adaptive local element mesh update method is proposed, which only refine locally on subject's refinement region and integrate redundant elements to reduce the degree-of-freedom (DOF) of system. Third, to analyze the system with varying mesh, a new solving algorithm with dynamic variables and geometry update routine is developed. Finally, performance of the proposed method in static and dynamic simulation is validated by four numerical examples. Results and consuming time of ASTS-based varying mesh prove the feasibility of the proposed method in contact problems.
