A road map to change: application of a comprehensive change management model to guide and inspire fishers to reduce bycatch
Authors: Eayrs Stephen 
Published: April 2022

AbstractTwo bycatch reduction initiatives in Australia's Northern Prawn Fishery were evaluated through the lens of a comprehensive change management model. This model combines the constructs of change Type, Readiness, Process, Inertia, and Time, and was developed because gear researchers have a poor record facilitating the voluntary uptake of proven fishing gear, including bycatch reduction devices. This evaluation identified where efforts by gear researchers to facilitate change in this fishery did and did not achieve desired outcomes. It identified differences in change type, precursors to change, and readiness of fishers to change, although extension activities were similar for both initiatives. No attempts were made to influence their affective readiness to change. During the second initiative, the process of overcoming inertia was influenced by a well-respected industry body. With a clear vision and improved fisher readiness to change, achievement of desired outcomes was relatively straightforward and less controversial. The proactive application of this model in the fishing industry awaits. However, this evaluation implies it is a useful road map to guide and inspire change in this industry. In the future, efforts to realize change must include consideration of affective change readiness, establishment of a guiding coalition, and promulgation of a clear vision.
The Implicit McMillan degree and network descriptions
Authors: Livada Maria , Leventides John 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The paper addresses the problem of evaluating the Implicit McMillan degree$\delta{m}$ of $W^{-1}(s)$, where $W^{-1}(s)$ denotes the transfer function of a passive $RLC$ electrical network.1 The Implicit McMillan degree$\delta{m}$ specifies the minimum number of dynamic elements needed to completely characterize the passive $RLC$ network, i.e. an electrical network that contains only passive elements (capacitors, inductors and resistors) and associates it with the rank properties of the passive element matrices. A fact that in the circuit literature is intuitively accepted but not rigorously proved is that this degree must be equal to the minimum number of independent dynamical elements in the network Livada (2017, Implicit network descriptions of RLC networks and the problem of re engineering. Ph.D. Thesis, City, University of London) and Leventides et al. (2014, McMillan degree of impedance, admittance functions of RLC networks. In 21st International Symposium on Mathematical Theory of Networks and Systems. The Netherlands: Groningen). In this paper, we investigate this finding, showing that the maximum possible Implicit McMillan degree$\delta{m}$ of such networks is given by $rankL+rankC$ and that this value is reached when certain necessary and sufficient conditions are satisfied.1

Published: April 2022

Abstract

Objective
To determine whether providing a biopsy marker informational handout to patients improves patient knowledge and comfort with receiving a marker.

Methods
In this IRB-exempt prospective study, a patient educational handout on breast biopsy markers was developed. A questionnaire was created with four questions asking patients to self-evaluate their knowledge of biopsy markers and their comfort level with marker placement before and after reading the handout. Technologists distributed the educational handouts to patients presenting for a percutaneous breast biopsy under any modality from December 11, 2020, to April 23, 2021. Data from the completed questionnaires were entered into a database. Statistical analyses included paired t-test and Wilcoxon analyses.

Results
In total, 141 completed surveys were included in the analysis. The mean scores prior to reading the handout for knowledge and comfort were 2.59 and 3.40, respectively. After reading the handout, there was a significant increase in mean scores for knowledge and comfort (4.26 and 4.20, respectively) (P &lt; 0.001). There was a 64% increase vs 23% increase for knowledge and comfort, respectively.

Conclusion
Patient-assessed knowledge of biopsy markers increased significantly after reading our educational handout. Patient-assessed comfort with biopsy marker placement also increased significantly after reading the educational handout, though to a lesser degree than knowledge. Although not included in our study, use of an educational handout may impact patient acceptance of marker placement. Future directions may include quantitatively assessing the effect of the handout on time to consent for a biopsy or influence on acceptance of marker placement.
Taxonomy and conservation of the critically endangered shrew Cryptotis nelsoni (Eulipotyphla: Soricidae), endemic to Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, México
Authors: Guevara Lázaro , Cervantes Fernando A 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
The Nelson’s small-eared shrew (Cryptotis nelsoni) is a mammal at high risk of extinction and endemic to the cloud forest in the mountains of Los Tuxtlas, an isolated volcanic field in eastern México. It is a little-known species that remained unrecorded for over a century. However, recent works have increased the number of museum specimens and tissue samples of C. nelsoni, which we studied here to improve our knowledge of their taxonomy and conservation status. We compared the morphology and DNA barcode sequences of C. nelsoni against its three most closely related species. We also evaluated the possible effect of anthropogenic climate change on this mountain species according to three general circulation models and two scenarios proposed for the year 2050. The results showed that the skull and postcranial variables could easily discriminate C. nelsoni from the other species in terms of body size, to which some distinctive qualitative characteristics related to the width of the snout and the curvature of the humerus also contribute. DNA barcoding also helped identify the shrew species accurately, with a genetic distance of more than 6% from its closest species. The morphological and genetic characteristics highlight the evolutionary distinctiveness of C. nelsoni. Unfortunately, warmer extremes and higher rainfall than today could pose a severe threat to the survival of this shrew for decades to come, even in the most optimistic scenarios.
Body growth, mass at sexual maturity, and sexual dimorphism in Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi)
Authors: Bartareau Tad M 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Recognizing individual variation in body growth characteristics and size at sexual maturity is of particular interest because they indicate a potential source of variance in survival and reproductive fitness. I used the Richards group of unified models method to examine body growth characteristics, mass at sexual maturity, and development of sexual size dimorphism in Florida panthers (Puma concolor coryi). A larger asymptotic body size and mass at sexual maturity in males resulted from a greater instantaneous growth rate across the life span and longer duration of growth than in females. Juvenile males attained larger body mass than female counterparts before achieving independence and sexual maturity, suggesting that a greater instantaneous growth rate developed from precopulatory intrasexual selection. Body mass growth rapidly decreased proximate to the minimum age at first conception in both sexes, suggesting that energetic costs of reproduction inhibited additional growth. Intrasexual selection among males to enhance fighting ability and promote access to a territory and mates is implicated as the cause for sexual size dimorphism, together with more direct underlying energetic costs of reproduction in females. The results provide uniform sex-specific body mass-at-age growth and mass at sexual maturity statistics for comparison with other puma populations and reference values to implement measurable criteria to evaluate trends in Florida panther population health.
First Record of the Tortoise Tick, Amblyomma geoemydae (Cantor, 1847) (Acari: Ixodidae) Parasitizing a Tree Shrew, Tupaia glis (Scandentia: Tupaiidae) in West Malaysia

Published: April 2022

Abstract
The tick genus Amblyomma Koch, 1844 (Acari: Ixodidae) has received little attention in Malaysia; therefore, its associated hosts and distribution records are poorly known. In this study, we collected six Amblyomma sp. individuals (two larvae and four adults) that infested a common treeshrew, Tupaia glis (Diard, 1820) (Scandentia: Tupaiidae) caught in a recreational area in Sungai Lembing, Pahang (West Malaysia). The adult female ticks were morphologically identified according to taxonomic keys prior to molecular identification using cytochrome oxidase subunit I (COI) and 16S rDNA genes. The ticks were genetically verified as Amblyomma geoemydae (Cantor, 1847) with 98%–99% similarity to the available GenBank sequences. Neighbor-joining (NJ) trees indicated that A. geoemydae was clearly distinguished from other Amblyomma ticks and this was supported with high bootstrap values. This paper is the first to report A. geoemydae ticks infesting T. glis and provides a new tick-host record from West Malaysia. This information is significant for further investigation, specifically on this tick species as potential vector of tick-borne disease (TBD) agents.
Therapeutic Assessment
Authors: Kamphuis Jan H. , Schaber Pamela 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Therapeutic Assessment (TA) is a semistructured form of clinical personality assessment derived from humanistic principles and builds on an intense collaboration with clients. This chapter describes the specific nature of the client–assessor relationship in TA and proposes epistemic trust as a transdiagnostic mediator for the efficacy TA has shown in a variety of patient populations. The central importance of having clients develop their personal assessment questions is highlighted, as well as the need for highly individualized case conceptualizations to address these. Furthermore, the chapter details the steps of a full adult TA, along with case material examples and reflections on how each step might enhance epistemic trust. The chapter also provides a brief description of variations on the basic adult model (e.g., TA in children or adolescents, with couples, or ultra-brief).
Ethical Decisions in Psychological Assessment
Authors: Knauss Linda K. , Slattery Jeanne M. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Ethical dilemmas frequently occur in the course of psychological assessment. Having an ethical decision-making framework to guide psychologists’ actions when they experience these situations as well as being aware of their acculturation to their personal values and morals and the profession’s ethics code can help psychologists make more thoughtful and nuanced ethical decisions. This chapter takes a positive ethics perspective, with the goal of doing the best for clients and others with whom psychologists have a professional relationship. Therapeutic Assessment is consistent with the positive ethics perspective by maximizing clients’ participation in the assessment process. Ethical decisions regarding feedback, multicultural assessment, informed consent, confidentiality, test selection, and assessment supervision are discussed, as well as the emerging areas of teleassessment and presurgical psychological screening. Vignettes throughout the chapter bring these issues to life.
A coordinated bus bridging and metro short turning model in response to urban metro disruptions
Authors: Wu Zijian , Zhao Xiaolong , Xiao Longwen , Wang Pu 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
When an urban metro disruption occurs, the urban metro usually operates in a short turning mode and bus bridging is the typical way to relink the disconnected stations. For emergency response models dealing with urban metro disruptions, minimizing passenger delay in the bus bridging process and the metro short turning process is usually the optimization objective. In this study, we simultaneously consider the passenger delay in the bus bridging process and the metro short turning process to develop a coordinated emergency response model dealing with urban metro disruptions. The proposed coordinated model is validated in an actual urban metro line using actual passenger boarding demand data. Useful insights in response to urban metro disruptions are obtained.
Mastopexy: with or without Acellular Dermal Matrix?
Authors: Abdelkader Rasha , Malahias Marco , Naguib Ibrahim , Abdelghani Salah , Raafat Sarah 
Published: April 2022

Background:
In the years after unilateral breast reconstruction, the reconstructed breast resists ptosis more than natural breast tissue in the native contralateral breast. As acellular dermal matrix (ADM) becomes fully incorporated into the recipient’s anatomy, thus reinforcing the inferior pole of the uplifted breast, we combined our mastopexy cases with ADM in an attempt to reduce the rate of recurrent ptosis.

Method:
This was a prospective randomized analysis of a cohort of 24 patients, divided into two groups (A and B); all underwent primary unilateral mastopexy to correct grade III breast ptosis. Our patients had previously undergone contralateral skin sparing mastectomy with immediate breast reconstruction, for invasive breast cancer or ductal carcinoma in situ that originally was symmetrical to their native breast. The symmetrization mastopexy in half of our patients was carried out with the addition of an ADM sling to the inferior pole of the breast, to act as an internal, subcutaneous supportive “bra” (A). The other half of patients received a standard symmetrization mastopexy, without the addition of an ADM support (B). Patients were followed up for 36 months.

Results:
The difference between control arm and study groups revealed a statistical difference (P < 0.05), when comparing the follow-up period. From the sixth postoperative month onward, the measurements for group A revealed a statistically significant difference (P < 0.05) when compared with group B.

Conclusion:
The additional ADM sling acts as an added layer of support, thus delaying reoccurrence of ptosis following mastopexy.
Sociodemographic Patterns of Pediatric Patients in Specialized Burn Care in Sweden
Authors: Holm Sebastian , Tell Katinka , Karlsson Matilda , Huss Fredrik , Pompermaier Laura , Elmasry Moustafa , Löfgren Jenny 
Published: April 2022

Background:
Trauma is a leading cause of mortality in children. Burns affect children disproportionally. Although burn incidence and mortality are decreasing, differences in the risk depend on socioeconomic status. The present study aimed to investigate the sociodemographic patterns of pediatric patients (0–17 years) managed at the two burn centers in Sweden, Uppsala, and Linköping, between 2010 and 2020.

Method:
This retrospective register-based study used hospital records from the two burn centers combined with information from Statistics Sweden plus data regarding number of asylum seekers from the Swedish Migrations Agency. Choropleth maps representing the patients’ geographical distribution were created. Information about income levels per geographic area was added. A Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to investigate differences in median income levels between the areas where the patients lived, related to Sweden’s median income.

Results:
The study included 2455 patients. Most of the children aged below 5 years (76%) and were boys (60%). The mean percentage of total skin area was 4.2%. There was no significant increment or decrease in the incidence of pediatric burns during the study. Most patients with recorded zip codes lived in areas with an income level below the national median (n = 1974, 83%). Children with asylum status were over-represented compared with residents and/or Swedish citizens.

Conclusions:
In Sweden, most pediatric burns occur in families that live in areas with low-income levels. Pediatric burns affect children with asylum status disproportionally compared with those who are residents in and/or citizens of Sweden. Prevention strategies should be designed and implemented to alleviate this health inequity.
PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF SPONTANEOUS RELEASE OF VITREOMACULAR TRACTION
Authors: Garg Anubhav , Popovic Marko M. , Cioana Milena , Ballios Brian G. , Brent Michael H. , Hurley Bernard , Kertes Peter J. , Yan Peng 
Published: April 2022

Purpose:
To review predictive factors of spontaneous vitreomacular traction (VMT) release.

Methods:
A systematic literature search was performed on Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library. Studies comparing spontaneously released VMT to persistent VMT were included. A meta-analysis was performed using a random effects model, and weighted mean difference, risk ratio (RR), and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were reported as appropriate.

Results:
Of a search of 258 studies, 12 studies were included, from which 272 of 934 eyes (29%) underwent spontaneous release. Mean age was 70.0 years, 37.2% of patients were men, and mean follow-up was 22.0 months. Significant predictive factors for spontaneous release were smaller VMT diameter (n = 177; weighted mean difference = −212.48 µm, 95% CI = [−417.36, −7.60], P = 0.04), epiretinal membrane absence (n = 162; RR = 2.17, 95% CI = [1.18, 3.97], P = 0.01), and right eye involvement (n = 76; RR = 2.10, 95% CI = [1.14, 3.88], P = 0.02). Nonsignificant factors were age, initial best-corrected visual acuity, sex, ocular comorbidity, fellow-eye posterior vitreous detachment, previous intravitreal injection, and VMT classification with focal defined as ≤400 µm. Mean release time was 15.3 months (n = 212). Mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 0.34 ± 0.21 (Snellen 20/44) to 0.20 ± 0.58 logMAR (Snellen 20/32) postrelease (n = 121).

Conclusion:
Smaller VMT diameter, epiretinal membrane absence, and right eye involvement may support spontaneous VMT release. If patients have tolerable symptoms, clinicians may consider observation in patients with these predictive factors.
OCULAR DECOMPRESSION RETINOPATHY WITH BRANCH RETINAL VEIN OCCLUSION MTHF-R GENETIC MUTATION
Authors: Benlahbib Manal , Huang Lydie J. , Cohen Salomon Yves , Souied Eric H. 
Published: April 2022

Purpose:
An atypical case of a sectorial decompression retinopathy with branch retinal vein occlusion following trabeculectomy was reported and was diagnosed with optical coherence tomography angiography for which systemic genetic assessment revealed a MTHF-R mutation.

Method:
Single case report.

Results:
A 68-year-old woman diagnosed with an uncontrolled bilateral creeping angle glaucoma went through an uncomplicated trabeculectomy in both eyes. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20. Intraocular pressure changed from 28 mmHg preoperatively to 5 mmHG postoperatively in the right eye. On the first postoperative day, best-corrected visual acuity was 20/32 with intraocular pressure measured to 5 mmHg. Fundus examination revealed sectorial temporal hemorrhages with tortuous temporal superior retinal vein arcade and choroidal folds. Fluorescein angiography evidenced a slight delay in venous filling along the supratemporal arcade. Three months later, optical coherence tomography angiography showed macular capillary loops in the superotemporal area of the retina. This sectorial decompression retinopathy was evocative of a branch retinal vein occlusion. At 6 months, best-corrected visual acuity returned to 20/20, with full regression of the hemorrhages. Systemic workup was normal, but genetic assessment revealed a MTHF-R mutation.

Conclusion:
Retinal vein occlusion can be considered as a feature of ocular decompression retinopathy. The present case is the first case to associate branch retinal vein occlusion secondary to ocular decompression retinopathy to a MTHF-R mutation.
Working Conditions and the Components of Burnout Among Nursing Staff in a Public Hospital in Mexico City
Authors: MOLINA ZAVALA Brenda I. , ZAMORA-MACORRA Mireya , MARTÍNEZ ALCÁNTARA Susana 
Published: April 2022

ABSTRACT

Background
Working conditions in public hospitals in Mexico City are highly demanding. The need for healthcare is pressing, materials and instruments are scarce, and exposure to pain and suffering is constant. These adverse conditions have an adverse impact on the physical and mental health of healthcare professionals. The nursing staffs are among those who are most affected, and they frequently experience burnout syndrome or one of its several dimensions, including emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment.

Purpose
The aim of this research was to analyze the relationship among working conditions, related stress, and the dimensions of burnout syndrome in a tertiary care public hospital in Mexico City.

Methods
A cross-sectional design was applied on a random sample of 190 nurses in a public hospital in Mexico City. Working conditions and burnout syndrome were evaluated using standardized instruments. Adjusted prevalence ratios were calculated. Three clusters, one for each burnout dimension, were generated and then evaluated using a correspondence analysis with labor characteristics.

Results
One quarter (25%) of the participants self-reported a sense of personal accomplishment, and 12% reported emotional exhaustion and depersonalization. The labor variables that were found to be associated with the dimensions of burnout were workload, performing potentially hazardous work, and conducting tedious tasks. Positive conditions were shown to decrease the prevalence of burnout in all three dimensions.

Conclusions/Implications for Practice
Working conditions for nursing staff impact the mental health of nurses and affect the quality of the healthcare they provide. The set of work demands and stressors to which they are exposed should be controlled and modified to ensure a healthy work environment.
Injection granuloma mimicking soft tissue sarcoma following seasonal influenza vaccine administration
Authors: Toci Gregory R. , LiBrizzi Christa L. , Bressner Jarred A. , Levin Adam Scott , Morris Carol D. 
Published: April 2022

Abstract

Rationale:
Soft tissue masses are common within the general population with a minority diagnosed as soft tissue neoplasms. Differing between benign and malignant soft tissue processes can be a challenge given the overlapping clinical and imaging characteristics. We present the case of a 69-year-old female referred to the Orthopaedic Oncology Service for evaluation of a suspected soft tissue sarcoma in the upper arm.

Patient Concerns:
She reported a mass localized over the deltoid with associated tenderness 1 month after influenza vaccination.

Diagnosis:
After thorough consideration of the patient's clinical course, history, advanced imaging, and physical examination, the diagnosis of injection granuloma associated with recent influenza vaccination was considered.

Interventions:
Biopsy was deferred and close interval follow-up with clinical and imaging evaluation revealed a resolving process.

Outcomes:
The patient was followed until complete resolution of all symptoms, which occurred 5 months after initial presentation.

Lessons:
It was hypothesized that due the patient's body habitus, the injection contents intended for intramuscular administration remained in the subcutaneous tissues and elicited a granulomatous reaction. This case highlights several important factors for physicians to consider in the work up of suspicious masses for which injection granuloma is on the differential diagnosis.
