AbstractAimGlobally, type 2 diabetes care is often fragmented and still organised in a provider‐centred way, resulting in suboptimal care for many individuals. As healthcare systems seek to implement digital care innovations, it is timely to reassess stakeholders' priorities to guide the redesign of diabetes care. This study aimed to identify the needs and wishes of people with type 2 diabetes, and specialist and primary care teams regarding optimal diabetes care to explore how to better support people with diabetes in a metropolitan healthcare service in Australia.MethodsOur project was guided by a Participatory Design approach and this paper reports part of the first step, identification of needs. We conducted four focus groups and 16 interviews (November 2019–January 2020) with 17 adults with type 2 diabetes and seven specialist clinicians from a diabetes outpatient clinic in Brisbane, Australia, and seven primary care professionals from different clinics in Brisbane. Data were analysed using reflexive thematic analysis, building on the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour model.ResultsPeople with diabetes expressed the wish to be equipped, supported and recognised for their efforts in a holistic way, receive personalised care at the right time and improved access to connected services. Healthcare professionals agreed and expressed their own burden regarding their challenging work. Overall, both groups desired holistic, personalised, supportive, proactive and coordinated care pathways.ConclusionsWe conclude that there is an alignment of the perceived needs and wishes for improved diabetes care among key stakeholders, however, important gaps remain in the healthcare system.

AbstractAimAlthough binge‐eating disorder (BED) is a common comorbidity of type 2 diabetes, little is known about the treatment experiences for persons with both conditions. Our aim was to explore perceptions of Primary Care Providers' (PCPs') treatment among adult women with both diagnoses.MethodsIn this qualitative descriptive study, we conducted semi‐structured interviews with a sample of 21 women (90% non‐Hispanic white; mean age 49 ± 14.8 years, mean body mass index [BMI] 43.8 ± 8.4; 48% had type 2 diabetes, mean HbA1c68 mmol/mol, 8.4%) who had previously participated in a secondary care specialized eating disorder treatment programme. Interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis and NVivo 12.ResultsParticipants described PCPs' helpful and unhelpful attitudes and behaviours during type 2 diabetes and BED treatment experiences. Helpful treatment was experienced when PCPs demonstrated a person‐centred approach by providing adequate diabetes education, individualized care and non‐judgmental attitudes from which participants reported increased understanding of diabetes and BED, improved diabetes self‐care and fewer negative self‐perceptions. Unhelpful treatment occurred when PCPs did not provide sufficient diabetes education and manifested deficient understanding of BED characterized by simplistic advice or judgmental attitudes, from which participants reported having limited knowledge and understanding of diabetes and BED, low self‐efficacy, diminished trust and feelings of guilt, shame and failure.ConclusionsWe propose a preliminary pathways treatment model derived from our findings, which utilizes integrated type 2 diabetes and BED education and person‐centred collaboration. This preliminary model needs to be tested in quantitative research with a larger sample.
The contestation of ideas behind Indonesia's rural electrification policies: The influence of global and national institutional dynamics

Published: May 2022

SummaryMotivationProgress in Indonesia towards achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 involves contestation between the global goals and the country's political ambition. The electrification rates ambition has triggered a policy trilemma. There are targets for meeting national energy demand; there are equally important targets for improving energy access and minimizing negative impacts on the environment.PurposeThis article illustrates idea contestation within Indonesia's rural electricity policy subsystem by: (1) analysing the position of the global sustainability storyline in pre‐ and post‐SDG and Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) periods; and (2) exploring the dynamic of coalition structure within both periods.Methods and approachThe data is derived from statements of political actors in the national news articles and is analysed using Discourse Network Analysis. To investigate the influence of global agendas, we perform a timeframe analysis in pre‐ and post‐SDG and NDC periods.FindingsOur analysis presented empirical evidence of the energy trilemma. The contestation between energy access, energy security, and climate change mitigation is observed in the ideas that emerged within the existing storylines. We find that sustainability has not been a primary topic of debate within the policy subsystem in pre‐ and post‐SDG and NDC periods. The findings also reveal how the global deployment of sustainability has triggered the emergence of discursive intermediaries within the policy subsystem. They are essential to framing global environmental issues to fit into internal debates.Policy implicationsFirst, the narration of implementing renewable energy has to emphasize its benefits over the energy poverty problem while injecting some messages related to environmental profit. Second, the issue of decentralization has always been the most frequent and mutually connected topic, both in terms of source utilization and governance. Therefore, it needs more attention from policy‐makers.

Abstract
Orb‐weaving spiders are abundant predators in agroecosystems and serve as key natural enemies for pest control. However, studies have demonstrated that many insecticides can negatively affect the predatory behaviours of spiders when exposed to sublethal concentrations, thus disrupting their biocontrol potential and subsequent ecosystem dynamics. Understanding how insecticides impact spiders is, therefore, of great importance.
This study investigated the effects of two conventional insecticides (thiamethoxam and deltamethrin), and a common biopesticide (neem oil) compared to a tap water control on the functional response of a common orb‐weaver Araneus diadematus.
Spiders were collected from the wild and maintained under laboratory conditions in containers (20 × 20 × 5 cm) to allow for web production. Spiders were then exposed to one of the four treatments and Drosophila melanogaster were added to the webs as prey at densities of 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, and 40, with the number of consumed prey quantified after 16‐h to determine the functional response.
Overall, A. diadematus exhibited a type II functional response when exposed to the control, thiamethoxam and neem oil treatments, with comparable consumption rates, search coefficients and handling times. This contrasted with deltamethrin‐treated spiders which exhibited a type III functional response and a lower consumption rate of prey compared to the control.
This study demonstrates that deltamethrin, unlike thiamethoxam and neem oil, is capable of negatively affecting the biocontrol potential of A. diadematus. However, further research is required to fully understand the impact insecticides have on the predatory behaviours of orb‐weaving spiders.
Electrophoretic co‐deposition of Bi2O3–multiwalled carbon nanotubes coating as supercapacitor electrode
Authors: Zhang Daixiong , Xiang Qing 
Published: May 2022

AbstractNafion is suggested as an efficient assistant in preparing supercapacitor by employing nanoparticles. In this work, using a bi‐additive of 0.10‐mM NaOH + 0.10 g L−1 Nafion, Nafion‐assisted electrophoretic co‐deposition of Bi2O3–multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) coating is successfully realized in ethanol solvent. The capacitance performances of the electrophoretic coatings in 6.0‐M KOH electrolyte are investigated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge–discharge techniques. Comparing with Bi2O3 coating prepared with electrophoretic deposition (EPD) by employing other additive (such as polyethyleneimine), the Bi2O3 coating prepared by Nafion‐assisted EPD shows a better capacitance performance. Benefiting from the improvement in coating conductivity caused by MWCNTs, with a small additional amount of 4.0 wt.%, the Bi2O3–MWCNTs coating exhibits an amazing 164% increase of mass‐specific capacitance (473 F g−1 at the current density of 1.0 A g−1) in comparison with pure Bi2O3 coating (179 F g−1 at the current density of 1.0 A g−1). The cyclic stability test exhibits excellent capacitance retention of 88.7% over 3000 cycles at a constant current density of 10.0 A g−1. This work combines the advantages of MWCNTs, Nafion, and EPD to provide a facile route for preparing Bi2O3‐based coating as a high‐performance supercapacitor electrode.
Freedom, Socialism, and Property‐Owning Democracy
Authors: Raekstad Paul 
Published: May 2022

ABSTRACTWhat should a free economic system look like? Socialists have long held that a universal human emancipation requires replacing capitalism with socialism. However, it has recently been argued that Property‐Owning Democracy (POD) safeguards freedom while allowing us to keep key features of capitalism. I challenge that claim by showing that the institutional features that make capitalist workplaces unfree are shared with POD. As a result, POD is insufficient for a free economic system. After discussing a number of objections, I conclude that we should look to more democratic alternatives instead.

AbstractHigh‐throughput sequencing has substantially improved our understanding of fungal diversity. However, the short read (<500 bp) length of current second‐generation sequencing approaches provides limited taxonomic and phylogenetic resolution for species discrimination. Longer sequences containing more information are highly desired to provide greater taxonomic resolution. Here, we amplified full‐length rRNA operons (~5.5 kb) and established a corresponding fungal rRNA operon database for ONT sequences (FRODO), which contains ONT sequences representing eight phyla, 41 classes, 109 orders, 256 families, 524 genera and 1116 species. We also benchmarked the optimal method for sequence classification and determined that the RDP classifier based on our FRODO database was capable of improving the classification of ONT reads, with an average of 98%–99% reads correctly classified at the genus or species level. We investigated the applicability of our approach in three representative mycobiomes, namely, the soil, marine and human gut mycobiomes, and found that the gut contains the largest number of unknown species (over 90%), followed by the marine (42%) and soil (33.8%) mycobiomes. We also observed a distinct difference in the composition of the marine and soil mycobiomes, with the highest richness and diversity detected in soils. Overall, our study provides a systematic approach for mycobiome studies and revealed that the previous methods might have underestimated the diversity of mycobiome species. Future application of this method will lead to a better understanding of the taxonomic and functional diversity of fungi in environmental and health‐related mycobiomes.

Published: May 2022

AbstractBackgroundDuring high‐resolution anorectal manometry (HR_ARM), the raw data are converted into software‐derived summary variables (e.g., rectoanal gradient during evacuation) that capture only a snapshot of the data collected during HR_ARM and are less useful than newer indices, which are also derived from the raw data, for diagnosing defecatory disorders (DD). However, it is cumbersome and time‐consuming to extract raw data from the program and calculate such indices. This study aimed to devise a user‐friendly approach to extract anorectal pressures measured with HR_ARM.MethodsAnorectal pressures at rest, during anal squeeze, and evacuation were measured with HR_ARM in 180 women, among whom 60 each were healthy, had DD, or fecal incontinence. A reverse engineering approach extracted pressure values from color images in HR_ARM reports. The summary variables generated by the software and a reverse engineering approach were compared with Lin's concordance correlation coefficient (CCC), pairedt‐tests, and Bland–Altman's tests.ResultsAnorectal pressures summarized by the software and a reverse engineering method were highly concordant for anal resting (CCC [95% CI], 0.98 [0.97, 0.99]) and squeeze pressures (0.99 [0.99, 0.99) and the rectoanal gradient during evacuation with an empty (0.98 [0.97, 0.98]) and a filled balloon (0.99 [0.99, 0.99]). For most variables, the paired t and Bland–Altman comparisons were not significant.ConclusionsAnorectal pressures can be accurately determined from pressure topography images in HR_ARM reports. In future, this reverse engineering approach can be harnessed to compile large HR_ARM datasets across centers and to uncover newer, potentially more useful summary rectoanal pressure variables.

Summary

Histone acetylation is a critical epigenetic modification that regulates plant immunity. Fungal pathogens secrete effectors that modulate host immunity and facilitate infection, but whether fungal pathogens have evolved effectors that directly target plant histone acetylation remains unknown.

Here, we identified a secreted protein, UvSec117, from the rice false smut fungus, Ustilaginoidea virens, as a key effector that can target the rice histone deacetylase OsHDA701 and negatively regulates rice broad‐spectrum resistance against rice pathogens. UvSec117 disrupts host immunity by recruiting OsHDA701 to the nucleus and enhancing OsHDA701‐modulated deacetylation, thereby reducing histone H3K9 acetylation levels in rice plants and interfering with defense gene activation.

Host‐induced gene silencing of UvSec117 promotes rice resistance to U. virens, thus providing an alternative way for developing rice false smut‐resistant plants.

This is the first direct evidence demonstrating that a fungal effector targets a histone deacetylase to suppress plant immunity. Our data provided insight into a counter‐defense mechanism in a plant pathogen that inactivates host defense responses at the epigenetic level.
Plasticity in stomatal behaviour across a gradient of water supply is consistent among field‐grown maize inbred lines with varying stomatal patterning

AbstractStomata regulate leaf CO2 assimilation (A) and water loss. The Ball–Berry and Medlyn models predict stomatal conductance (gs) with a slope parameter (m or g1) that reflects the sensitivity of gs to A, atmospheric CO2 and humidity, and is inversely related to water use efficiency (WUE). This study addressed knowledge gaps about what the values of m and g1 are in C4 crops under field conditions, as well as how they vary among genotypes and with drought stress. Four inbred maize genotypes were unexpectedly consistent in how m and g1 decreased as water supply decreased. This was despite genotypic variation in stomatal patterning, A and gs. m and g1 were strongly correlated with soil water content, moderately correlated with predawn leaf water potential (Ψpd), but not correlated with midday leaf water potential (Ψmd). This implied that m and g1 respond to long‐term water supply more than short‐term drought stress. The conserved nature of m and g1 across anatomically diverse genotypes and water supplies suggests there is flexibility in structure‐function relationships underpinning WUE. This evidence can guide the simulation of maize gs across a range of water supply in the primary maize growing region and inform efforts to improve WUE.
Swooshed: How Nike and the City of New York could potentially change the landscape of city branding through apparel licensing agreements
Authors: Thomas Michael Blair 
Published: May 2022

AbstractCities across the United States are increasingly implementing branding into their strategic plans. Several municipalities are finding creative ways to do so, paced by New York City's 2019 licensing agreement with sportswear giant, Nike. The city (via NYC & Company) and Nike entered into a 2‐year agreement that is claimed by Nike as the first known partnership of its kind. The contract allows the sportswear company to produce footwear and apparel with nearly all the city's likenesses, with product release subject to the city's approval. Buoyed by an analysis of relevant public and place branding literatures, this Viewpoint analyzes the cultural ties that serve as the foundation of the relationship between the two entities and the potential impact of non‐financial elements to consider within the agreement. The article offers questions that practitioners should ponder when deciding to enter licensing agreements when opportunities become available.

Published: May 2022

AbstractUsing a panel data set of 160 economies from 1950 to 2018, this paper examines the relationship between military expenditures and economic, health‐related, education, environmental, and social indicators of sustainable development. The results generally suggest that the size of the military expenditures is negatively associated with educational attainment, life expectancy, infant and maternal mortality rates, female labor force participation, gender equality, and access to safe drinking water, electricity, basic sanitation, and positively correlated with mortality and poverty rates and air pollution. The findings are generally robust to different specifications and interact with GDP per capita; that is, the association of military spending with the development indicators is stronger (weaker) in less (more) developed economies.

Authors: Brinkman-Majewski Rachel E. , Weiss Windee M. 
Published: May 2022

Context: Athletic trainers influence the motivational climate in rehabilitation, but little is known about the role of the motivational climate on patient outcomes. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the motivational climate in rehabilitation on athletes’ behaviors in rehabilitation (eg, effort and energy) and overall satisfaction with rehabilitation. Design: Cross-sectional, descriptive research. Methods: A total of 78 male and female, NCAA Division II injured athletes receiving rehabilitation services, and 7 certified athletic trainers, and 8 athletic training students providing rehabilitation health care participated. All injured athletes completed an adapted version of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire 2 to measure perceptions of the motivational climate in rehabilitation, along with the Overall Satisfaction with Rehabilitation Scale. Athletic trainers and athletic training students completed a training behaviors assessment to rate the athletes’ energy, effort, and persistence in rehabilitation. Results: Injured athletes’ perceptions of the motivational climate predicted rehabilitation behaviors and patient satisfaction. Higher perceptions of having an important role in rehabilitation predicted higher rehabilitation behaviors (F3,74 = 4.45, P < .01), while higher perceptions of unequal recognition during rehabilitation predicted lower desirable behaviors (F3,74 = 4.90, P < .01). Higher perceptions of a mastery climate in rehabilitation predicted greater patient satisfaction (F3,74 = 7.41, P < .001) and lower perceptions of being punished for mistakes predicted greater satisfaction (F3,74 = 5.92, P < .001). Conclusions: Productive athlete behaviors during rehabilitation and greater patient satisfaction with rehabilitation can be expected when athletes perceive a mastery motivational climate during rehabilitation. Athletic trainers can facilitate creating a mastery motivational climate by focusing on individual improvement, putting forth high effort, and evaluating success based on personal improvement.
