Published: November 2022

AbstractNon-native salmonids are protected in the Southern hemisphere where they sustain aquaculture and lucrative sport fisheries, but also impact many native fishes, which poses a conservation conundrum. Legal protection and human-assisted secondary releases may have helped salmonids to spread, but this has seldom been tested. We reconstructed the introduction of brown trout (Salmo trutta) to the Falkland Islands using historical records and modelled its dispersal and probability of invasion using a generalized linear model and Leave One out Cross Validation. Our results indicate that establishment success was ~ 88%, and that dispersal was facilitated over land by proximity to invaded sites and density of stream-road crossings, suggesting it was human assisted. Brown trout have already invaded 54% of Falkland rivers, which are 2.9–4.5 times less likely to contain native galaxiids than uninvaded streams. Without strong containment we predict brown trout will invade nearly all suitable freshwater habitats in the Falklands within the next ~ 70 years, which might put native freshwater fishes at a high risk of extinction.
“It’s cleaner, definitely”: Collaborative Process in Audio Production
Authors: Deacon Thomas , Healey Patrick , Barthet Mathieu 
Published: November 2022

AbstractWorking from vague client instructions, how do audio producers collaborate to diagnose what specifically is wrong with a piece of music, where the problem is and what to do about it? This paper presents a design ethnography that uncovers some of the ways in which two music producers co-ordinate their understanding of complex representations of pieces of music while working together in a studio. Our analysis shows that audio producers constantly make judgements based on audio and visual evidence while working with complex digital tools, which can lead to ambiguity in assessments of issues. We show how multimodal conduct guides the process of work and that complex media objects are integrated as elements of interaction by the music producers. The findings provide an understanding how people currently collaborate when producing audio, to support the design of better tools and systems for collaborative audio production in the future.
The relationship between religiosity and voluntary disclosure quality: a cross-country evidence from the banking sector
Authors: Salem Rami , Ezeani Ernest , Song Xi 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis study examines whether there is a relationship between religiosity and voluntary disclosure quality (VD_Q). We utilise a three-dimensional approach to capture the VD_Q on an international sample of 1,484 bank-year observations in 12 countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region over 14 years period from 2006 to 2019. Our findings indicate that religiosity is positively associated with banks' VD_Q. Our findings also show that the association between religiosity and VD_Q is more noticeable in banks operating in countries with a low level of legal protection, low level of control of corruption and during the crisis period. We further illustrate that the influence of religiosity is more intense on the spread and usefulness of information dimensions than the quantity dimension. These empirical findings are robust to alternative proxies of religiosity and sample specification. This result supports the notion that religiosity enhances corporate disclosure quality and reduces the asymmetric information gap between managers and outside users of information.
Who funds the production of globally visible research in the Global South?
Authors: Chankseliani Maia 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThere exist large disparities globally when it comes to knowledge production with very small proportions of publications from the majority world penetrating the global science system. This paper examines the Scopus data on the funders of publications (co-)authored by individuals based in the Caucasus or Central Asia. The analysis shows that in the conditions of scarce local funding for research, research activity has been fuelled by international funding. The funding has been rather diverse and originated from 98 countries across North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East, and Australia. The two countries most frequently mentioned in the funding acknowledgements are the United States and the Russian Federation, cumulatively accounting for approximately 20% of funding acknowledgements. Different types of organisations have funded globally visible research produced by authors based in the Caucasus and Central Asia, most notably bilateral agencies (68% of all funding acknowledgements), followed by philanthropies (7%), and multilateral organisations (5%). This paper offers evidence to question the viability of the narrative of North–South divisions in the global science system. While higher education and research are shaped within territorially bounded, self-contained, and discrete spaces of nation-states, the global science system rests on the extensive flows of funding and knowledge which extend well beyond the nation state.

Published: November 2022

AbstractIvermectin is the medication of choice for treating human onchocerciasis and is used in veterinary medicine to treat a variety of ectoparasites and endoparasites. This study was designed to investigate the effects of zinc nanoparticles (ZnNPs) on the fertility of male rabbits exposed to experimental ivermectin (IVM) intoxication. A total of 72 mature male rabbits were equally divided into 4 groups (n = 18). The first group (CTR) served as control; the second group (IVM) received subcutaneous injection of IVM (0.2 mg/kg body weight); the third group (ZnNPs) fed on zinc nanoparticles (60 mg/kg diet); and the fourth group (ZnNPs + IVM) were administered IVM and zinc nanoparticles at the same doses. The experiment lasted for 9 weeks. Results revealed that IVM-intoxicated rabbits showed impaired growth performance parameters, including body weight, total body weight gain (TBWG), total feed intake (TFI), and feed conversion ratio (FCR). Moreover, carcass characteristic and fertility parameters (including semen quality parameters and testosterone levels) were also impaired after IVM administration. Additionally, testicular malondialdehyde (MDA) and antioxidant (reduced glutathione, superoxide dismutase, catalase) levels as well as the histopathology and immunohistochemical expression of caspase 3 and PCNA in the testes and epididymis were detrimentally affected. On the contrary, ZnNP administration efficiently improved most of these parameters in IVM-intoxicated rabbits. In conclusion, ZnNPs exhibited promising ability for improving the growth and fertility status of rabbits and reducing the deleterious effects of IVM possibly through the suppression of apoptotic and oxidative pathways.Graphical Abstract
A Contemporary Review of Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Etiology, and Outcomes of Premature Stroke
Authors: Potter Thomas B. H. , Tannous Jonika , Vahidy Farhaan S. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Purpose of Review
Recent data identifies increases in young ischemic and hemorrhagic strokes. We provide a contemporary overview of current literature on stroke among young patients or premature stroke along with directions for future investigation.

Recent Findings
Strokes in the young are highly heterogenous and often cryptogenic. Sex distribution and risk factors shift from women among the youngest age groups (< 35) to men over the age of 45, with a coinciding rise in traditional vascular risk factors. Incidence is higher in minority and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and the impact of stroke among these communities may be exaggerated by disparities in symptom recognition and access to care. Special diagnostic work-up may be needed, and a lower threshold for diagnosis is warranted as potential misdiagnosis is a concern and may preclude necessary triage and management.

Summary
Although “premature strokes” form a relatively small proportion of total incidence, they vary greatly across subgroups and present an outsized impact on quality of life and productivity.

Authors: Berger Stefanie , Brandauer Anna , Freywald Nicole , Höppchen Isabel , Kutschar Patrick , Strobl Annemarie , Walter Carola , Gnass Irmela 
Published: November 2022

Zusammenfassung
Hintergrund
Das Thema Wissen zu Hygiene und Hygienemanagement von Pflegefachkräften in der außerklinischen Intensivpflege zeigt sich in der Literatur als unterrepräsentiert. Gleichzeitig spielt das Hygienemanagement in der außerklinischen Intensivpflege eine wichtige Rolle.

Ziel der Arbeit
Die Studie untersucht den von den Pflegefachkräften selbst eingeschätzten Wissensstand zum Thema Hygiene und Infektionen bei Menschen mit Beatmungsbedarf, den Einfluss personenbezogener Charakteristika sowie Setting- und Klient*innenbezogene Herausforderungen und Informationsbedarfe im außerklinischen Pflegealltag.

Methode
Eine standardisierte Befragung von Pflegefachkräften fand online und papierbasiert statt. Die Analyse erfolgte deskriptiv und mittels multipler linearer Regressionen.

Ergebnisse
Die Ergebnisse machen deutlich, dass der Wissensstand zu hygienespezifischen Themen von den Pflegefachkräften selbst zwischen sehr gut und gut eingeschätzt wird. Je mehr Fort- und Weiterbildungen eine Person hat, desto besser wird das subjektive Wissen zu Personalhygiene, medizinisch-pflegerischen Maßnahmen und Infektionsinterventionen eingeschätzt. Als die drei häufigsten Herausforderungen im Pflegealltag nennen Pflegefachkräfte Kommunikation und Abstimmung mit Angehörigen, die Versorgung von Klient*innen mit multiresistenter Keimbesiedelung und die Verfügbarkeit von Materialressourcen.

Schlussfolgerung
Die Ergebnisse zeigen die Relevanz von Fortbildungen für Pflegefachkräfte im Bereich des Hygienemanagements. Setting-spezifische Angebote sollten daher entwickelt, adaptiert und umgesetzt werden.
Challenges of anticipation of future decisions in dementia and dementia research
Authors: Perry Julia 
Published: November 2022

AbstractAnticipation of future decisions can be important for individuals at risk for diseases to maintain autonomy over time. For future treatment and care decisions, advance care planning is accepted as a useful anticipation tool. As research with persons with dementia seems imperative to develop disease-modifying interventions, and with changing regulations regarding research participation in Germany, advance research directives (ARDs) are considered a solution to include persons with dementia in research in an ethically sound manner. However, little is known about what affected people deem anticipatable.This contribution provides a critical reflection of the literature on anticipation and of a qualitative study on the assessment of ARDs with persons with cognitive impairment in Germany. It combines theoretical and empirical reflections to inform the ethical-legal discourse.Anticipation involves the conceptual separation of the past, the present, and the future. Including dimensions such aspreparedness,injunction, andoptimizationhelps in establishing a framework for anticipatory decision-making. While dementia may offer a window of time to consider future decisions, individual beliefs about dementia including fears about stigma, loss of personhood, and solitude strongly impact anticipating sentiments. Concepts of anticipation can be useful for the examination of uncertainty, changing values, needs, and preferences interconnected with the dementia trajectory and can serve as a means to make an uncertain future more concrete. However, fears of losing one’s autonomy in the process of dementia also apply to possibilities of anticipation as these require cognitive assessment and reassessment of an imagined future with dementia.
Performance enhancement of Sb2Se3-based solar cell with hybrid buffer layer and MoSe2 as a hole transport material using simulator device
Authors: TEYOU NGOUPO Ariel , NDJAKA Jean-Marie Bienvenu 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn this work, we first compared the experimental and simulated J-V characteristics of the Sb2Se3-based solar cell without and with a hybrid buffer layer using SCAPS-1D software. The introduction of a second buffer layer reduces the current leakage caused at the front contact of the solar cell and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) increases from 3.75% to 5.18%; and the use of the ternary compound cadmium zinc sulfide (CdZnS), as an alternative electron transport layer (ETL) to the traditional cadmium sulfide (CdS), increases the PCE from 5.18% to 7.13%. Thereafter, different thicknesses of the SnO2/CdZnS hybrid buffer layer were simulated, and the optimization resulted in a value of 50 nm, with thicknesses of 10 nm and 40 nm for the SnO2 and CdZnS layers respectively. Furthermore, the optimization of the Sb2Se3 absorber allows to obtain a bulk defect density of 1011 cm−3 and a carrier capture cross section of 10–14 cm2. Finally, the low doping problem of the absorber is solved by forming a MoSe2 layer at the Sb2Se3/Mo interface. MoSe2 acts as a hole transport material (HTM) and is used for high mobility of charge carriers within it; moreover, its presence improves the performance of the Sb2Se3-based solar cell and a PCE of 18.77% (JSC = 34.37 mA/cm2, VOC = 660 mV, FF = 82.78%) is obtained. Our simulation results also show that the n-i-p configuration of the Sb2Se3-based solar cell is more stable.

Published: November 2022

AbstractEffective stakeholder engagement increases research relevance and utility. Though published principles of community-based participatory research and patient-centered outcomes research offer guidance, few resources offer effective techniques to engage stakeholders and translate their engagement into improvements in research process and outcomes. The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (Indiana CTSI) is home to Research Jam (RJ), an interdisciplinary team of researchers, project management professionals, and design experts, that employs human-centered design (HCD) to engage stakeholders in the research process. Establishing HCD services at the Indiana CTSI has allowed for accessible and innovative stakeholder-engaged research. RJ offers services for stakeholder-informed study design, measurement, implementation, and dissemination. RJ’s services are in demand to address research barriers pertaining to a diverse array of health topics and stakeholder groups. As a result, the RJ team has grown significantly with both institutional and extramural support. Researchers involved in RJ projects report that working with RJ helped them learn how to better engage with stakeholders in research and changed the way they approach working with stakeholders. RJ can serve as a potential model for effectively engaging stakeholders through HCD to improve translational research.
Comparative Study on the Outcome of Trauma Patients Transferred by Doctor Helicopters and Ground Ambulance in South Korea
Authors: Lee Kang Hyun , Lee Jeong Il 
Published: November 2022

Abstract

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to analyze the cost-effectiveness of helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS) for its economic operations in South Korea.

Methods:
This study targeted trauma patients that were transported by either HEMS or ground emergency medical services (GEMS) from the scene of an accident to a regional emergency medical center. From this patient population, severe trauma patients (injury severity score ISS ≥ 16 points) with a distance travelled from the scene of the injury to the hospital that was 30 km or longer and with analyzable outcome data were extracted and included in this study. Cost-effectiveness was analyzed from survival and efficiency based on medical costs incurred from the pre-hospital setting to hospital discharge. This study included a total of 34 HEMS and 105 GEMS patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥ 16 points from a pool of 357 potential patients.

Results:
The survival-to-discharge rate of HEMS was 29 of 34 patients (85.3%) and was significantly higher than that of GEMS, where only 66 of 105 patients (62.8%) survived to discharge (P = 0.024). The expected and the actual mortality was higher in HEMS than it was in GEMS. Statistical significant difference in cost was found between the 2 groups (P = 0.002).

Conclusions:
The results of the present study indicate the increased discharge rate, survival rate and reduced in hospital mortality of HEMS with reduced admission time. This result association leads to reasonable cost effectiveness and efficient estimates overall.

A GLANCE TO THE FRAGMENTA MEMBRANEA MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION THROUGH FTIR AND RADIOCARBON ANALYSES

Published: November 2022

ABSTRACTThe Fragmenta membranea manuscript fragment collection at the National Library of Finland has proved challenging to date using only traditional paleography. Therefore, radiocarbon dates can contribute to the understanding of these fragments by offering a parallel natural scientific timeline for the parchment the manuscripts are written on. In this study, we apply our previously developed method for radiocarbon dating medieval manuscripts made of parchment. In total 35 datings were made from 14 separate assemblages of manuscripts, being the first systematic wide-scale application of radiocarbon dating to a collection of medieval manuscripts in order to improve their chronological proxy. Additionally, due to the fragmentary and sometimes poor condition of the manuscript fragments of Fragmenta membranea analyzed in this study, we used Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to evaluate the quality of the collagen and the presence of contaminants in the fragments affecting the radiocarbon dates. We report out radiocarbon dating results and FTIR screenings for each sample and for each manuscript assemblage, and discuss the applicability of our method in further studies of applying radiocarbon dating on objects of cultural historical interest and value. The results indicate an essential role of high-quality samples and multiple measurements to interpret the radiocarbon dating results.
