Authors: Mishra Anand Kumar , Bansal Rohit , Maurya Prince Kumar , Kar Sanjay Kumar , Bakshi Palvinder Kaur 
Published: July 2022

AbstractThe current study intends to identify the behavioural antecedents of investors' attitude and investment intention toward mutual funds using a robust SEM‐ANN approach. It focuses on novel factors in the purview of the COVID‐19 pandemic, increasing digitalization and social media usage. The research outcome indicates that attitude (ATB), awareness (AW) and investment decision involvement (IDI) have a significant positive relation with investment intention (BI). In contrast, perceived barrier (PBR) negatively relates to investment intention. Herd behaviour (HB) and social media influence (SMI) do not influence investment intention toward mutual funds. Moreover, all the tested predictors share direct relation with the attitude toward mutual fund investment, barring perceived risk (PR), which has an inverse relationship. As per the outcome of ANN sensitivity analysis, attitude is the most crucial determinant of investment intention. It is followed by awareness (AW), perceived barriers (PBR) and investment decision involvement (IDI). Among the significant determinants of attitude, self‐efficacy (SE) is the most important determinant, followed by perceived usefulness (PU), perceived emergency (PEMER), subjective norms (SN) and perceived risk (PR).

Abstract
Marine environments accommodating diverse assortments of life constitute a great pool of differentiated natural resources. The cumulative need to remedy unpropitious effects of anthropogenic activities on estuaries and coastal marine ecosystems has propelled the development of effective bioremediation strategies. Marine bacteria producing biosurfactants are promising agents for bio-remediating oil pollution in marine environments, making them prospective candidates for enhancing oil recovery. Molecular omics technologies are considered an emerging field of research in ecological and diversity assessment owing to their utility in environmental surveillance and bioremediation of polluted sites. A thorough literature review was undertaken to understand the applicability of different omic techniques used for bioremediation assessment using marine bacteria. This review further establishes that for bioremediation of environmental pollutants (i.e. heavy metals, hydrocarbons, xenobiotic and numerous recalcitrant compounds), organisms isolated from marine environments can be better used for their removal. The literature survey shows that omics approaches can provide exemplary knowledge about microbial communities and their role in the bioremediation of environmental pollutants. This review centres on applications of marine bacteria in enhanced bioremediation, using the omics approaches that can be a vital biological contrivance in environmental monitoring to tackle environmental degradation. The paper aims to identify the gaps in investigations involving marine bacteria to help researchers, ecologists and decision-makers to develop a holistic understanding regarding their utility in bioremediation assessment.

Published: July 2022

AbstractAimTo investigate the strategies used by nurse leaders to facilitate fundamental care delivery in their clinical area.DesignAn interpretative qualitative design study reported in line with the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ).MethodsTwenty‐four self‐identified nurse leaders from across Australia were interviewed between November 2020 and April 2021 to discuss their strategies for facilitating fundamental care. Data was analysed using inductive thematic analysis.ResultsNurse leaders' experience of facilitating fundamental care produced two major themes, delivery of fundamental care (comprising three sub‐themes: valuing fundamental care, understanding and developing staff capacity and supportive relationships), and monitoring of fundamental care (including three sub‐themes: visibility in the clinical area, embedding fundamental care in the practice setting and specific direct actions).ConclusionFacilitating fundamental care delivery is complex. This study highlighted the importance of nurse leaders' individual characteristics, and nurse leaders' ability to establish and maintain relationships alongside the role of informal and formal monitoring of fundamental care delivery.ImpactFindings from this study build on existing research into fundamental care and contribute to our understanding of the role, characteristics and actions of nurse leaders to facilitate fundamental care. The results demonstrate the complexity and intricacy of nursing leadership to facilitate fundamental care, and that a dynamic ‘thinking and linking’ approach is required. The results show individualized practice which may create challenges for new nurse leaders seeking guidance, and for monitoring nurse leader activity. Further research is advocated to explore insights and tools to optimize nurse leaders' endeavours in facilitating fundamental care.Patient or Public ContributionThis study was designed using insights generated from patient and public involvement in nursing leadership and fundamental care.
Pregnancy experience in the setting of cystic fibrosis: A systematic review and thematic synthesis
Authors: Milo Francesco , Tabarini Paola 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAimsTo synthesize qualitative studies of subjective experience of pregnancy in people with cystic fibrosis.DesignThematic synthesis of qualitative studies.Data sourcesWe searched PUBMED, CINAHL, EMBASE. PsicINFO and Social Sciences Citation Index for qualitative studies published in English, which reported on pregnancy in people with cystic fibrosis. Searches were carried out in March 2021, updated in June 2022.Review methodsStudies that met the inclusion criteria were appraised for quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) for qualitative research. Data were extracted from the studies, analyse and synthesise using thematic synthesis approach.ResultsThirteen studies were included in the review and ‘Walking on a wire’ framework was conceptualized. We found three analytical themes: (1) desire for information related to pregnancy in cystic fibrosis, (2) factors at play in decision‐making related to pregnancy for people with cystic fibrosis and (3) pregnancy experience and eight descriptive themes: (1) information topics, (2) CF healthcare team/PwCF as a provider of reproductive health information, (3) information timing, (4) barriers to information delivery, (5) barriers to decision‐making and stresses relating to the process of trying to conceive, (6) environmental factors, (7) coping with challenges, and (8) moving towards parenthood.ConclusionFor people with cystic fibrosis, pregnancy is a complex pathway: the amount of knowledge about cystic fibrosis and sexual and reproductive health, barriers to pregnancy and environmental factors provides the background to decision‐making. Moreover, coping with pregnancy is a challenging experience, where they have to mediate between the physical and emotional implications of planning a pregnancy and the limitations imposed by the chronic health conditions.ImpactUnderstanding the psychological experiences of people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) will improve future research and practice. Education about sexual and reproductive health and psychosocial care programmes are necessary to help PwCF deal with the challenges related to pregnancy. Hospitals should enhance the development of specific programmes to promote the well‐being of individuals with CF who are planning a pregnancy.

AbstractHypertension is a prevalent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Angiotensin II receptor blockers are widely prescribed to patients with hypertension, while new drugs are continuously developed. However, data on comparative efficacy and safety of novel agents, such as fimasartan, are scarce. Here, we aimed to collect clinical evidence on different angiotensin II receptor blockers using a network meta‐analysis. Randomized controlled trials whose follow‐up time is within 12 weeks were identified from eight databases via a systematic literature review. Of the 7909 possibly relevant studies, 61 studies with 14,249 adult patients were included in the analysis. These studies were further subjected to quality appraisal using Cochran's Risk of Bias, and sitting systolic blood pressure was considered the primary endpoint. A Bayesian random effect generalized linear model was used for the network meta‐analysis, and the treatment rank probability was determined. Olmesartan (standardized mean difference ‐0.987 [‐1.29, ‐0.729]) and fimasartan (standardized mean difference ‐0.966 [‐1.21, ‐0.745]) showed the highest rank probabilities (37% and 35%) in the 4‐week group, considering the primary endpoint. Furthermore, the odds ratio of adverse events for all agents did not differ significantly from that of the placebo. The treatment rank of angiotensin II receptor blockers varied depending on the outcome type and follow‐up period considerably. Fimasartan rapidly lowered blood pressure in 4 weeks, which was further maintained until 12 weeks, indicating its competent efficacy and tolerability. Our findings may help medical practitioners and patients to select the best angiotensin II receptor blocker against hypertension.

Published: July 2022

AbstractHyperuricemia causes gout and has also been associated with metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Uric acid‐lowering drugs (ULDs) are used to reduce uric acid levels for the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout. However, there is a lack of robust and real‐world data on the history and treatment of patients with newly diagnosed hyperuricemia or gout in Japan. This retrospective, longitudinal, historical cohort study determined the characteristics of patients with hyperuricemia and/or gout, and prescription of, and adherence to, ULDs using data from the JMDC Claims Database. The primary evaluation population included 64 677 patients with newly diagnosed hyperuricemia and/or gout. Of these, only 26 501 (41.0%) had a prescription for ULDs at diagnosis. Even when ULDs were prescribed, the persistence rate of prescriptions declined over time, with a 54.4% persistence rate for ULDs at 12 months after the index diagnosis. In subgroups of patients with or without hypertension and diabetes, the rate of ULD prescription continuation was significantly higher in those with comorbidities than in those without (76.8% vs. 42.6% in those with vs. without hypertension, and 78.7% vs. 52.2% in those with vs. without diabetes). These finding suggest that therapeutic interventions to lower serum uric acid levels are under‐utilized for patients with newly diagnosed hyperuricemia and/or gout in Japan.

AbstractAdipose‐derived stromal cells (ADSC) are increasingly used in clinical applications due to their regenerative capabilities. However, ADSC therapies show variable results. This study analysed the effects of specific factors of ex‐obese patients on ADSC functions. ADSC were harvested from abdominal tissues (N = 20) after massive weight loss. Patients were grouped according to age, sex, current and maximum body mass index (BMI), BMI difference, weight loss method, smoking and infection at the surgical site. ADSC surface markers, viability, migration, transmigration, sprouting, differentiation potential, cytokine secretion, telomere length and mtDNA copy number were analysed. All ADSC expressed CD73, CD90, CD105, while functional properties differed significantly among patients. A high BMI difference due to massive weight loss was negatively correlated with ADSC proliferation, migration and transmigration, while age, sex or weight loss method had a smaller effect. ADSC from female and younger donors and individuals after weight loss by increase of exercise and diet change had a higher activity. Telomere length, mtDNA copy number, differentiation potential and the secretome did not correlate with patient factors or cell function. Therefore, we suggest that factors such as age, sex, increase of exercise and especially weight loss should be considered for patient selection and planning of regenerative therapies.

Published: July 2022

AbstractAimTo test whether the emergence profile (CONVEX or CONCAVE) of implant‐supported crowns influences the mucosal margin stability up to 12 months after insertion of the final restoration.Materials and MethodsForty‐seven patients with a single implant in the anterior region were randomly allocated to one of three groups: (1) CONVEX (n = 15), implant provisional and an implant‐supported crown both with a convex profile; (2) CONCAVE (n = 16), implant provisional and an implant‐supported crown both with a concave profile; (3) CONTROL (n = 16), no provisional (healing abutment only) and an implant‐supported crown. All patients were recalled at baseline, 6, and 12 months. The stability of mucosal margin along with clinical, aesthetic, and profilometric outcomes as well as time and costs were evaluated. To predict the presence of recession, multivariable logistic regressions were performed and linear models using generalized estimation equations were conducted for the different outcomes.ResultsForty‐four patients were available at 12 months post‐loading. The frequency of mucosal recession amounted to 64.3% in group CONVEX, 14.3% in group CONCAVE, and 31.4% in group CONTROL. Regression models revealed that a CONVEX profile was significantly associated with the presence of recessions (odds ratio: 12.6, 95% confidence interval: 1.82–88.48, p = .01) compared with the CONCAVE profile. Pink aesthetic scores amounted to 5.9 in group CONVEX, 6.2 in group CONCAVE, and 5.4 in group CONTROL, with no significant differences between the groups (p = .735). Groups CONVEX and CONCAVE increased the appointments and costs compared with the CONTROL group.ConclusionsThe use of implant‐supported provisionals with a CONCAVE emergence profile results in a greater stability of the mucosal margin compared with a CONVEX profile up to 12 months of loading. This is accompanied, however, by increased time and costs compared with the absence of a provisional and may not necessarily enhance the aesthetic outcomes.

Published: July 2022

ObjectiveIt has been suggested that the sequelae of trauma are under‐recognized in youth on the autism spectrum. We aimed to generate expert consensus regarding important trauma indicators, including but not limited to traumatic stress symptoms, in autistic youth.MethodsWe recruited 72 experts in autism and/or childhood trauma. Via a 2‐round Delphi survey, experts commented on and rated the importance of 48 potential indicators, drawn from PTSD criteria and a broader literature on traumatic sequelae in autism. A revised list of 51 indicators, 18 clinical guidelines developed from expert comments, and summaries of expert qualifications and ratings from Round 1 were submitted to a second round (n = 66; 92% retention) of expert review and rating.ResultsTwenty‐two indicators reached consensus (>75% round 2 endorsement). Many, but not all, reflected PTSD criteria, including intrusions (e.g., trauma re‐enactments in perseverative play/speech), avoidance of trauma‐reminders, and negative alterations in mood/cognition (e.g., diminished interest in activities) and in arousal/reactivity (e.g., exaggerated startle). Experts also identified increased reliance on others, adaptive and language regressions, self‐injurious behavior, and non‐suicidal self‐injury as important indicators. Consensus guidelines emphasized the need for tailored measures, developmentally informed criteria, and multiple informants to increase diagnostic accuracy.ConclusionsExpert consensus emphasizes and informs a need for tailored diagnostic guidelines and measures to more sensitively assess traumatic reactions in autistic youth.
Bisexual lures and their comparison with synthetic sex attractants for trapping Orthosia species (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Published: July 2022

AbstractTwo bisexual lures have been developed using iso‐amyl alcohol plus acetic acid combined with red wine extract (semisynthetic bisexual lure, SBL), or synthetic floral compounds (FLO) for trapping of noctuid moths with early spring activity of adults. Orthosia species were attracted by the tested semi‐synthetic and synthetic lures indicating the possible role of the fermenting liquids and floral compounds in the feeding of these species. Bisexual lures attracted generally a lower number of individuals than the synthetic sex attractants of the given species, except for O. cerasi where FLO lures were more attractive than the sex attractant. Bisexual lures caught both sexes and females composed a sizable percentage of the catch. Since traps baited with different types of bisexual lures provided similar data on sex ratios, thus these presumably reflected the actual sex ratio of the given population. The use of these bisexual lures, especially of FLO in case of Orthosia spp., can be useful in surveys in which the capture of females and data on sex ratios are indispensable, for example in population dynamic and polyandry surveys. In contrast, in case of low population densities, the use of sex attractant lures seem to be still more efficient.

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) gene family has been systematically described in several fish species, but less so in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus), which is an important global aquaculture species. In this study, 16 MAPK genes were identified in the channel catfish genome and classified into three subfamilies based on phylogenetic analysis, including six extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) genes, six p38‐MAPK genes and four C‐Jun N‐terminal kinase (JNK) genes. All MAPK genes were distributed unevenly across 10 chromosomes, of which three (IpMAPK8, IpMAPK12 and IpMAPK14) underwent teleost‐specific whole genome duplication during evolution. Gene expression profiles in channel catfish during salinity stress were analysed using transcriptome sequencing and qRT‐PCR (quantitative reverse transcription PCR). Results from reads per kilobase million (RPKM) analysis showed IpMAPK13, IpMAPK14a and IpMAPK14b genes were differentially expressed when compared with other genes between treatment and control groups. Furthermore, three of these genes were validated by qRT‐PCR, of which IpMAPK14a expression levels were significantly upregulated in treatment groups (high and low salinity) when compared with the control group, with the highest expression levels in the low salinity group (P < 0.05). Therefore, IpMAPK14a may have important response roles to salinity stress in channel catfish.

AbstractIn November 2021, a female bigeye thresher shark was incidentally caught by a pelagic drifting longline off southern Cyprus, corresponding to the second documented species record at country level. Main biological features and an extended list of morphometric measurements are presented in comparison with the previous species records in the Mediterranean. The diet analysis highlighted the impact of marine species invasion in the Mediterranean food webs and documented the presence of the angel squid in Cypriot waters for the first time. The species presence in the basin is revised and discussed.

AbstractBody size influences many life‐history traits, with small‐bodied animals tending to have short life spans, high mortality and greater reproductive effort early in life. In this study, the authors investigated the life‐history traits and reproductive strategies of three small‐bodied coral reef gobies of the genus Trimma: Trimma benjamini, Trimma capostriatum and Trimma yanoi. The authors found all Trimma species studied attained a small body size of <25 mm, had a short life span of <140 days and experienced high estimated daily mortality of 3.0%–6.7%. Furthermore, the pelagic larval phase accounted for 25.3%–28.5% of the maximum life span, and maturation occurred between 74.1 and 82.1 days at 15.2–15.8 mm, leaving only 35%–43% of the total life span as a reproductively viable adult. All mature individuals had gonad structures consistent with bidirectional sex change, with bisexual gonads including both ovarian and testicular portions separated by a thin wall of connective tissue. In the female and male phases, only ovaries or testes were mature, whereas gonadal tissue of the non‐active sex remained. One T. benjamini individual and one T. yanoi individual had ovarian and testicular tissue active simultaneously. The results of this study highlight the life‐history challenges small CRFs face on their path to reproduction and reproductive strategies that could be beneficial in fishes with high and unpredictable mortality and short reproductive life spans.
