The efficacy of postdivorce intervention programs for children: A meta‐analytical review
Authors: Herrero Marta , Roca Patricia , Cormenzana Susana , Martínez‐Pampliega Ana 
Published: August 2022

AbstractPreventive postdivorce interventions aim to help children cope with divorce and promote their adjustment. Nevertheless, questions remain regarding the concrete outcomes of these interventions and the intervention characteristics that influence them. This meta‐analysis of 30 studies analyzes the efficacy of postdivorce interventions on children's symptomatology, personal resources, and adaptation to divorce. Likewise, it explores whether the intervention impacts the putative mediators from the family context and whether the characteristics of the studies themselves also influence the results. Using a data set of N = 4344 individuals, 258 effect sizes were calculated. Random effects analyses evidenced the impact of the interventions on specific variables instead of on children's global adjustment. There were no significant effects on children's mental health outcomes, and none of these effects were qualified by the moderators that were examined. Preventive postdivorce interventions had significant effects, specifically on children's divorce adjustment and self‐esteem. The study of the moderators found that the interventions were generally homogeneous, and only one of the 20 moderators examined had a significant effect. Based on children's age, the interventions had an impact on family functioning only when they involved younger children, but this result should be interpreted with caution due to the small sample of studies. This meta‐analysis provides evidence of the relevance of postdivorce interventions to critical variables as well as information about the role of the intervention characteristics in the effects and makes suggestions for future research on divorce interventions that encompass both practical and empirical developments.

Published: August 2022

AbstractResearch on couple relationships has increasingly focused on the concept of “we‐ness”, the subjective closeness of the couple bond, as crucial to predicting relationship outcomes including satisfaction and dissolution. However, diverging perspectives on the definition, terminology, and measurement of this concept persist. We drew upon social identity theorizing to clarify the nature of we‐ness and investigate its predictive utility. Participants were 375 members of the general community in long‐term intimate relationships. The sample were aged 18–74 (M = 37.22; SD = 12.00) and 69% were women. Participants completed seven measures of we‐ness drawn from both the couple literature and the social identity literature. We used exploratory factor analyses to establish the latent structure of we‐ness, and regression analyses to examine the utility of each we‐ness factor in predicting relationship satisfaction and likelihood of dissolution. A four‐factor solution was extracted and the factors were labeled couple identity, partner liking, relationship orientation, and partner similarity. Each of the four factors explained unique variance in relationship quality, with couple identity being most strongly associated with positive outcomes. We conclude that couple research can fruitfully draw upon social identity theorizing in conceptualizing we‐ness. This has implications both for more effectively measuring key concepts and for more precisely targeting interventions in couple therapy.
Actual weld profile fatigue performance by digital prototyping of defected and un‐defected joints
Authors: Livieri Paolo , Tovo Roberto 
Published: August 2022

AbstractThis paper considers the effects of the actual weld profile on the fatigue behavior of welded joints by means of the implicit gradient approach. Different types of geometrical approximation are considered in the analysis. In order to define the fatigue strength reduction factor of the actual weld profile, FE analyses have been considered based on a three‐dimensional scan of the welded joints. Furthermore, the fatigue behavior of butt‐welded joints with a discontinuous undercut is considered, and a comparison has been made with experimental data taken from the literature.

Published: August 2022

AbstractBackgroundPulp–dentine complex regeneration via tissue engineering is a developing treatment modality that aims to replace necrotic pulps with newly formed healthy tissue inside the root canal. Designing and fabricating an appropriate scaffold is a crucial step in such a treatment.ObjectivesThe present study aimed to review recent advances in the design and fabrication of scaffolds for de novo regeneration of pulp–dentine complexes via tissue engineering approaches.MethodsA literature search was conducted using PubMed, Europe PMC, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. To highlight bioengineering techniques for de novo regeneration of pulp–dentine complexes, both in vitro and in vivo studies were included, and clinical studies were excluded.ResultsIn the present review, four main classes of scaffolds used to engineer pulp–dentine complexes, including bioceramic‐based scaffolds, synthetic polymer‐based scaffolds, natural polymer‐based scaffolds and composite scaffolds, are covered. Additionally, recent advances in the design, fabrication and application of such scaffolds are analysed along with their advantages and limitations. Finally, the importance of vascular network establishment in the success of pulp–dentine complex regeneration and strategies used to create scaffolds to address this challenge are discussed.DiscussionIn the tissue engineering platform, scaffolds provide structural support for cells to adhere and proliferate and also regulate cell differentiation and metabolism. Up to now, considerable progress has been achieved in the field of pulp–dentine complex tissue engineering, and a spectrum of scaffolds ranging from bioceramic‐based to naturally derived scaffolds has been fabricated. However, in designing a suitable scaffold for engineering pulp–dentine complexes, a variety of characteristic parameters related to biological, structural, physical and chemical features should be considered.ConclusionThe variety of biomaterials and fabrication techniques provides a great opportunity to address some of the requirements for scaffolds in regenerative endodontics. However, more studies are required to develop an ideal scaffold for use in a clinical setting.

AbstractIntroductionAccurate detection of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN)‐associated gene mutations is necessary to correctly diagnose MPN. However, conventional gene testing has various limitations, including the requirement of skilled technicians, cumbersome experimental procedures, and turnaround time of several days. The gene analyzer i‐densy IS‐5320 allows gene testing using the quenching probe‐Tm method. Specifically, pretreatment of samples including DNA extraction, amplification and detection of genes, and analysis of results are performed in a fully automatic manner after samples and test reagents are added into this system, which is compact and can be easily installed in a laboratory. The aim of this study is to investigate the sensitivity and specificity associated with the simultaneous detection of MPN‐associated gene mutations.MethodsWe conducted an analysis of MPN‐associated genes using i‐densy IS‐5320. We analyzed 384 samples (171 JAK2 V617F mutations, 10 JAK2 exon12 mutations, 104 CALR mutations, and 26 MPL mutations) that had been examined using conventional approaches such as allele‐specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR), droplet digital PCR, and the direct sequencing method.ResultsThe detection accuracy of JAK2 V617F, JAK2 exon 12, CALR, and MPL was 100.0% (383/383), 99.7% (383/384), 100.0% (370/370), and 99.7% (377/378), respectively. There was a strong positive correlation between the JAK2 V617F allele burden measured using conventional methods and i‐densy IS‐5320 (r = .989).ConclusionOverall, i‐densy IS‐5320 exhibited good accuracy in terms of analyzing MPN‐associated genes; thus, it can serve as a replacement for conventional methods of MPN‐associated gene testing.

AbstractIntroductionThe safety and utility of the Advisor™ High‐Density Grid mapping catheter (HDGC) in children and congenital heart disease (CHD) patients are not well described.MethodsA single‐center retrospective cohort study of pediatric and CHD patients undergoing electrophysiology study and ablation to determine the effect of HDGC use on outcomes including complications, fluoroscopy use, procedure duration, acute ablation success, and arrhythmia recurrence.ResultsHDGC was used in 74/261 (28.3%) cases. HDGC subjects differed by median age (17 vs. 13 years; p < 0.001), weight (68 vs. 50 kg; p < 0.001), and prevalence of significant CHD (42% vs. 3%; p < 0.001). Arrhythmia substrates were dissimilar: HGDC cases had higher frequencies of intra‐atrial re‐entrant tachycardia (25.7% vs. 0.5%), atrial flutter (8.1% vs. 1.1%), ectopic atrial tachycardia (13.5% vs. 3.7%), and premature ventricular contractions (9.5% vs. 0.5%), and lower incidences of atrioventricular re‐entrant tachycardia (16.2% vs. 46.1%). Complications were rare (n = 5, 1.9%) with no significant difference between groups (p = 1.00). Procedure duration—but not fluoroscopy exposure—was significantly longer in HDGC cases (median 256 vs. 216 min, p < 0.001). Acute success was lower (93.2% vs. 99.4%; p = 0.01) and recurrences higher (13.2% vs. 3.8%; p = 0.016) in HDGC compared to non‐HDGC cases.ConclusionHDGC use in children and CHD patients is safe and not associated with higher complication rates. The lower acute success and higher recurrence rates in HDGC cases likely reflect a bias toward HDGC use in more complex arrhythmia substrates rather than less favorable ablation outcomes.

AbstractNeural precursor cell expressed developmentally downregulated 4‐like (NEDD4L), a member of the E3 ubiquitin‐protein ligases, encoded by NEDD4L gene, was found to be involved in in salt sensitivity by regulating sodium reabsorption in salt‐sensitive rats. The authors aimed to explore the associations of NEDD4L genetic variants with salt sensitivity, blood pressure (BP) changes and hypertension incidence in Chinese adults. Participants from 124 families in Northern China in the Baoji Salt‐Sensitive Study Cohort in 2004, who received the chronic salt intake intervention, including a 7‐day low‐salt diet (3.0 g/day) and a 7‐day high‐salt diet (18 g/day), were analyzed. Besides, the development of hypertension over 14 years was evaluated. NEDD4L single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs74408486 was shown to be significantly associated with systolic BP (SBP), diastolic BP (DBP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) responses to low‐salt diet, while SNPs rs292449 and rs2288775 were significantly associated with pulse pressure (PP) response to high‐salt diet. In addition, SNP rs4149605, rs73450471, and rs482805 were significantly associated with the longitudinal changes in SBP, DBP, MAP, or PP at 14 years of follow‐up. SNP rs292449 was significantly associated with hypertension incidence over the 14‐year follow‐up. Finally, this gene‐based analysis found that NEDD4L was significantly associated with longitudinal BP changes and the incidence of hypertension over the 14‐year follow‐up. This study indicated that gene polymorphism in NEDD4L serve an important function in salt sensitivity, longitudinal BP change and development of hypertension in the Chinese population.

Published: August 2022

AbstractAims and objectivesTo review, synthesise and integrate primary research on the relationship between professional empowerment and evidence‐based practice (EBP) in nursing.BackgroundProfessional empowerment research exposes an association between empowerment and positive work behaviours and attitudes. Empowerment is associated with nurses' productivity, autonomy and resources. However, implementing evidence into practice is not easy due to barriers to EBP, namely organisational and cultural. Research demonstrating the relationship between professional empowerment and EBP will provide direction for future interventions aimed at the development of an effective healthcare sector.DesignA mixed‐methods systematic review, according to the Joanna Briggs Institute approach, with results reported according to PRISMA. The associated checklist for systematic reviews was also used.MethodThe electronic databases searched for relevant studies included: Medline, Cumulative Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, and The Cochrane Library; thesis and dissertation databases; and Web pages of reference organisations and Scientific Events programs. Quality assessments, data extraction and analysis were completed on all included studies, according JBI. Thematic analysis was used to synthesise the data.ResultsWe identified 477 studies. After removing duplicates and reviewing title and abstract following the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 26 papers were evaluated for eligibility. The review included 9 articles. The literature was categorised into three themes: (a) organisational and leadership characteristics, (b) individual characteristics, and (c) outcomes/consequences.ConclusionThis review highlights the importance of empowering environments in EBP. A relationship was evident between leadership, organisation, empowerment, individual characteristics and the use and implementation of evidence, resulting in tangible and measurable gains. However, more robust studies are needed.This systematic review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO; CRD42018086414).

SummaryThe COVID‐19 pandemic is a rare stressor that has precipitated an accompanying mental health crisis. Prospective studies traversing the pandemic's onset can elucidate how pre‐existing disease vulnerabilities augured risk for later stress‐related morbidity. We examined how pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity predicted maladaptive stress reactions and depressive symptoms in response to, and during, the pandemic. This study is a secondary analysis of a randomised controlled trial from 2016 to 2017 comparing digital cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (dCBT‐I) against sleep education (N = 208). Thus, we also assessed whether dCBT‐I moderated the association between pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity and pandemic‐related distress. Pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity was measured at baseline using the Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test. In April 2020, participants were recontacted to report pandemic‐related distress (stress reactions and depression). Controlling for the treatment condition and the degree of COVID‐19 impact, higher pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity predicted more stress reactions (β = 0.13, ± 0.07 SE, p = 0.045) and depression (β = 0.22, ± 0.07 SE, p = 0.001) during the pandemic. Further, the odds of reporting clinically significant stress reactions and depression during the pandemic were over twice as high in those with high pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity. Notably, receiving dCBT‐I in 2016–2017 mitigated the relationship between pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity and later stress reactions (but not depression). Pre‐pandemic sleep reactivity predicted psychological distress 3–4 years later during the COVID‐19 pandemic, and dCBT‐I attenuated its association with stress reactions, specifically. Sleep reactivity may inform prevention and treatment efforts by identifying individuals at risk of impairment following stressful events.
Does above‐average rainfall stimulate a recruitment pulse in semi‐arid woodlands of southeastern Australia?
Authors: Kenny Sally A. , Moxham Claire 
Published: August 2022

AbstractQuestionsRegeneration success of semi‐arid and arid regions worldwide is episodic and often linked to large rainfall events in consecutive years. It is also influenced by past and current land use, seed availability and herbivore grazing. This is particularly true for four dominant canopy trees — Allocasuarina luehmannii (Buloke), Casuarina pauper (Belah), Callitris gracilis (Slender Cypress Pine) and Myoporum platycarpum (Sugarwood) — within southeastern Australia semi‐arid woodlands. These species also apply hedge‐betting when responding to resource pulses with mass germination while low‐level background recruitment continues. We asked if drought‐breaking rainfall stimulated a germination pulse of these species and if it did, how did other external factors (grazing pressure from rabbits/hares, seed source, suitable seedbed) influence seedling abundance. We also asked if evidence of continuous recruitment had occurred during 14 years of drought by exploring trends in juvenile abundance.LocationVictorian Mallee semi‐arid woodlands, southeastern Australia.MethodsWe recorded seedling and juvenile abundance of the four dominant canopy species at 310 1‐ha sites within semi‐arid woodlands. Seedling presence was explored in relation to rainfall, tree density, ground cover and herbivory. Juvenile presence was explored in relation to rainfall, seedling and tree density, total plant cover and herbivory.ResultsSeedling and juvenile abundance were positively correlated with more mature trees, higher rainfall and no herbivory. Juvenile abundance was also positively correlated with more seedlings. There were more seedlings and juveniles at sites where rabbits/hares were present.ConclusionsAbove‐average rainfall was positively correlated with initiation of recruitment; however, there was limited net recruitment of the four dominant canopy species indicating other factors are influencing germination (e.g. seed viability) or that seedlings are not surviving. The long‐term survival of these semi‐arid woodlands is in jeopardy without a concerted effort to maintain and improve their condition through revegetation works, weed removal and herbivore management.
Retail market trends for seafood in the United States

AbstractInterest in retail seafood sales increased dramatically with the onset of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The diversity of species, types of products, product forms, and packaging of the seafood sold at retail, combined with diverse consumer preferences across the United States, requires detailed data and analysis to provide guidance and understanding of emerging trends. Weekly, store‐based, Nielsen Scantrack data for the period of September 2016 through August 2021 were used to compare trends in US retail (supermarket) seafood sales across the 5‐year study period, in continental regions, cities, and species categories sold. Results showed continuous increases in retail seafood sales over the study period at an average annual growth rate of 8.1%, much of which was fueled by the 21% increase in total sales (19.5% increase in quantity sold) the first year after the onset of the pandemic. The South Atlantic region was found to have the greatest total sales and sales per capita among regions. New York City had the greatest total seafood sales, followed by Los Angeles and Philadelphia. The top five most important species categories in terms of sales were, in declining order, shrimp, salmon, tuna, crab, and tilapia, although regional variability became apparent from the fourth‐ranked species. The most important package sizes were 454‐ and 907‐g packs. Frozen and refrigerated categories dominated sales (70% in 2021), with little growth in entrées and a decline in market share of shelf‐stable seafood products in 2021. Retail supermarket seafood sales increased dramatically following the onset of the pandemic, with especially notable percentage increases in lobster (77%) and crab sales (70%) and the lowest percentage increases in tuna (1%) and tilapia (13%). Given that US per capita seafood consumption did not show a corresponding increase over the study period, study results likely indicate a shift to greater relative consumption at home and not an overall increase in US seafood sales.
