Supporting strategic and meta-strategic development of argument skill: the role of reflection
Authors: Iordanou Kalypso 
Published: January 2022

AbstractThe present work examines the role of reflection in supporting the development of argument skill. Participants who engaged in argumentation practice with additional reflective activities outperformed a control group who only engaged in the argumentation practice. The experimental group showed greater gains in developing argument skill – particularly in employing evidence to weaken an opposing position. Experimental condition participants also exhibited greater gains in content knowledge on the intervention topic compared to the control condition participants. Microgenetic analysis of dialogs during the interventions revealed a different pattern of progress across the two conditions. Experimental condition participants exhibited gradual and overall greater improvements at both strategic and meta levels ‒ meta-strategic and epistemic ‒ compared to control condition participants. Findings support the hypothesis that engagement in reflection during dialogic argumentation supports the development of metacognition, both as competence and disposition, which in turn supports performance at the strategic level. Educational implications are discussed, stressing the beneficial role of engagement in reflective activities for promoting argument skill, above and beyond practice.
A Consistent Finite Element Formulation of the Geometrically Non-linear Reissner-Mindlin Shell Model
Authors: Müller Alexander , Bischoff Manfred 
Published: January 2022

AbstractWe present an objective, singularity-free, path independent, numerically robust and efficient geometrically non-linear Reissner-Mindlin shell finite element formulation. The formulation is especially suitable for higher order ansatz spaces. The formulation utilizes geometric finite elements presented by Sander [74] and Grohs [34] for the interpolation on non-linear manifolds. The proposed method is objective and free from artificial singularities and spurious path dependence. Due to the fact that the director field lives on the unit sphere, a special linearization procedure is required to obtain the stiffness matrix. Here, we use the simple constructions of Absil et al. [2, 3], which yields an easy way to obtain the correct tangent operator of the potential energy. Additionally, we compare three different interpolation schemes for the shell director that can be found in the literature, where one of them is applied for the first time for the Reissner-Mindlin shell model. Furthermore, we compare the exponential map to the radial return normalization as procedure to update the nodal directors and conclude the superiority of the latter, in terms of fewer load steps. We also investigate the construction of a consistent tangent base update scheme. Path independence, efficiency and objectivity of the formulation are verified via a set of numerical examples.

AbstractBecause of vast variability of cochlear implantation outcomes in prelingual deafness treatment, identification of good and poor performers remains a challenging task. To address this issue, we investigated genetic variants of matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) and brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and plasma levels of MMP-9, BDNF, and pro-BDNF that have all been implicated in neuroplasticity after sensory deprivation in the auditory pathway. We recruited a cohort of prelingually deaf children, all implanted before the age of 2, and carried out a prospective observation (N = 61). Next, we analyzed the association between (i) functional MMP9 (rs20544, rs3918242, rs2234681) and BDNF (rs6265) gene variants (and their respective protein levels) and (ii) the child’s auditory development as measured with the LittlEARS Questionnaire (LEAQ) before cochlear implant (CI) activation and at 8 and 18 months post-CI activation. Statistical analyses revealed that the plasma level of MMP-9 measured at implantation in prelingually deaf children was significantly correlated with the LEAQ score 18 months after CI activation. In the subgroup of DFNB1-related deafness (N = 40), rs3918242 of MMP9 was significantly associated with LEAQ score at 18 months after CI activation; also, according to a multiple regression model, the ratio of plasma levels of pro-BDNF/BDNF measured at implantation was a significant predictor of overall LEAQ score at follow-up. In the subgroup with DFNB1-related deafness, who had CI activation after 1 year old (N = 22), a multiple regression model showed that rs3918242 of MMP9 was a significant predictor of overall LEAQ score at follow-up.
Facing the pandemic lockdown questionnaire - FPLQ: A brief tool to assess individual differences in front of pandemic experience

Published: January 2022

AbstractThis paper presents the development and the initial validation of a self-report questionnaire (the Facing the Pandemic Lockdown Questionnaire - FPLQ) focused on the way in which people faced the impact of the lockdown related to the Coronavirus Disease 19. 504 adults (81.55% females; M age = 32.71 years, SD = 11.19) took part to the study. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed a 15-item 4-factor structure, invariant for gender and age: two dimensions related to maladaptive processes (i.e., “Perception of low social connectedness and lack of routines” and “Health worry”) and two dimensions related to adaptive processes (i.e., “Positive re-thinking” and “Perception of online social connectedness”). Further, we investigated the associations between these dimensions and measures pertaining cognitive (i.e., internal and external health locus of control), emotional (i.e., positive and negative affect), and relational (i.e., attitude and behaviors toward civic engagement) processes, also testing the moderating role of gender and age. Finally, the potential usefulness of this new tool for both extant and future psychological research was highlighted.
De jeugdarts en gemeente in transitie
Authors: Hilhorst Judith , Reurslag Ellen C. , Hoogsteder Mariëtte H. H. 
Published: January 2022

SamenvattingSinds de transitie Jeugdzorg is het belangrijk en volgens de Jeugdwet verplicht voor gemeenten om de inzet op preventie te vergroten. Aangezien preventie een belangrijk onderdeel van de werkzaamheden van jeugdartsen is, kunnen zij waardevol zijn voor gemeenten. Het is echter onduidelijk of gemeenten de werkzaamheden van jeugdartsen kennen. Dit kwalitatief exploratief onderzoek vergelijkt de rollen van jeugdartsen vanuit het perspectief van gemeenten en vanuit dat van jeugdartsen. We hebben achttien beleidsdocumenten over zorg voor jeugd van 33 gemeenten en zes documenten over jeugdartsen uit de JGZ-sector verzameld. Op basis van een documentanalyse onderscheidden we zeven rollen van jeugdartsen. Twee rollen, die van beleidsadviseur en academicus, vonden we alleen in JGZ-documenten. Vijf rollen vonden we zowel in beleids- als JGZ-documenten: die van zorgverlener, samenwerker/verbinder, poortwachter, verwijzer en belangenbehartiger van het kind. Bij deze rollen zagen we wel inhoudelijke verschillen: zo legden gemeenten nadruk op de opvoedkundige expertise van jeugdartsen en besteedden ze nauwelijks aandacht aan medische en diagnostische vaardigheden. Dit onderzoek laat zien dat de visie van gemeenten op de rollen van jeugdartsen verschilt van die van de JGZ-sector. Uitgaande van de rollen die jeugdartsen zichzelf toeschrijven zouden gemeenten jeugdartsen vaker kunnen inzetten als beleidsadviseur en academicus, en hun sociaal-medische expertise meer kunnen benadrukken in hun beleidsdocumenten.
De werkzame elementen van een gecombineerde leefstijlinterventie voor mensen met een lage sociaaleconomische status. Een concept mapping-caseonderzoek

Published: January 2022

SamenvattingMensen met een lage sociaaleconomische status (SES) zijn minder gezond en hebben vaker overgewicht en obesitas dan mensen met een hoge SES. Gecombineerde leefstijlinterventies (GLI’s) kunnen worden ingezet voor de aanpak van overgewicht en obesitas. Het is echter niet duidelijk welke elementen van de GLI effectief zijn voor mensen met een lage SES. Het doel van dit onderzoek was daarom om de werkzame elementen van X‑Fittt 2.0, een GLI voor mensen met een lage SES, te bepalen. Negen professionals en één deelnemer van X‑Fittt 2.0 namen deel aan een concept mapping (CM)-proces om de werkzame elementen van X‑Fittt 2.0 in kaart te brengen. CM bestaat uit zes stappen: voorbereiden, brainstormen, clusteren, scoren, analyseren en discussiëren en interpreteren. Dit proces resulteerde in 72 werkzame elementen, ingedeeld in negen clusters, gericht op monitoring (12), interne (7) en externe (4) samenwerking, structuur en begeleiding (10), afspraken met deelnemers (5), beweegaanbod in de eerste twaalf weken (10), de beweegomgeving (10), wervingsstrategieën (5) en randvoorwaarden voor X‑Fittt 2.0 (9). Deze resultaten bieden een waardevolle eerste verkenning van de werkzame elementen van GLI’s voor mensen met een lage SES.
Ervaringen en visies van professionals over gebruik en misbruik van methylfenidaat door studenten in het hoger onderwijs
Authors: van der Heijde Claudia , van den Berk Carmel , Vonk Peter 
Published: January 2022

SamenvattingEen groeiend aantal studenten in het hoger onderwijs misbruikt methylfenidaat (MF) ter verbetering van academische prestaties. Meer inzicht in de manier waarop professionals het gebruik van MF waarnemen en MF voorschrijven draagt bij aan een verbetering in het volgen van de vastgestelde richtlijnen, om zo misbruik vast te stellen en te voorkomen. Kwalitatieve, semigestructureerde interviews zijn thematisch geanalyseerd. In totaal zijn drie huisartsen, drie psychiaters en twee studentenpsychologen geïnterviewd. Naast overeenstemming op verschillende vlakken bestaat er onder de bevraagde professionals ook een behoorlijke diversiteit aan ervaringen en visies met betrekking tot het gebruik en misbruik van MF door studenten in het hoger onderwijs. Hun verschil in opinie is niet altijd direct te relateren aan de beroepsgroepen. Er zijn meerdere mogelijkheden om misbruik van MF onder studenten te voorkomen. Meer voorzichtigheid is geboden, zowel met betrekking tot de nauwkeurigheid van het stellen van ADHD-diagnoses, als wat betreft het voorschrijven van MF. Misbruik kan ook worden voorkomen door ADHD-patiënten (inclusief studenten) en hun MF-gebruik nauwkeuriger te monitoren, meer aandacht te besteden aan leefstijlverbetering, effectievere studiemethoden, stressmanagement, betere informatievoorziening over risico’s van MF-gebruik, en preparaten voor te schrijven die minder makkelijk te misbruiken zijn.

Samenvatting
Inleiding
Scholen zijn een belangrijke setting om gezondheidsgedrag van kinderen te verbeteren. Het initiatief ‘De Gezonde Basisschool van de Toekomst (GBT)’ heeft als doel om gezondheid en welzijn te integreren in het schoolsysteem en is gebaseerd op de door de Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie ontwikkelde Health Promoting School (HPS)-benadering. Uitgangspunten voor GBT zijn het aanbieden van een gezonde lunch en een gestructureerd beweeg- en cultuuraanbod met verruiming van schooltijd. In dit artikel worden de effecten na twee jaar follow-up en de invloed van de context op deze effecten beschreven.

Methode
GBT is geïmplementeerd in vier basisscholen in de Parkstadregio (Zuid-Limburg) en vergeleken met vier controlescholen. De gegevens zijn verzameld via onder andere antropometriemetingen, vragenlijsten, interviews en observaties.

Resultaten
GBT heeft geleid tot verbeteringen in het voedings- en beweeggedrag van kinderen en tot een gezondere gewichtsstatus van deze kinderen. De schoolcontext bleek op diverse manieren van invloed te zijn op de gevonden effecten.

Conclusie
GBT is een haalbare uitwerking van de HPS-benadering gebleken. Het is een veelbelovend initiatief dat passend en effectief is om de gezondheid en het gezondheidsgedrag van kinderen te verbeteren. Wanneer scholen als complex en adaptief worden beschouwd, kan dat bijdragen aan een betere integratie en evaluatie van gezondheidsbevordering op scholen.
Gezondheidsverschillen voorbij
Authors: Bussemaker Jet , ’S Jongers Tim , Vonk Robert 
Published: January 2022

SamenvattingEr zijn in Nederland hardnekkige gezondheidsverschillen. Decennia aan beleid hebben die niet kunnen verkleinen. De Raad voor Volksgezondheid & Samenleving pleit voor een heroverweging van de aanpak van sociaaleconomische gezondheidsverschillen. Gezondheidsverschillen zijn niet alleen de uitkomst van ongezond gedrag, maar ook van een complexe ongelijkheid in de samenleving. Die ongelijkheid wordt in het huidige beleid onvoldoende aangepakt. De geschiedenis leert echter dat de volksgezondheid het meest profiteerde van collectieve maatregelen rondom de leefomgeving, bestaanszekerheid en onderwijs. Om gezondheidsverschillen daadwerkelijk te verkleinen, hebben we een nieuwe doorbraak nodig. We moeten op zoek naar het rioleringsstelsel van deze tijd.
New Pliocene Rhinocerotidae findings from the Iberian Peninsula and the revision of the Spanish Pliocene records

Published: January 2022

AbstractA fragmentary mandible from the early Pliocene of the Vera Basin is here investigated to clarify its taxonomic position. The studied specimen is here assigned to Pliorhinus megarhinus, documented in Europe from the latest Miocene to the mid-Pliocene. The morphometrical comparison reveals that this taxon is larger than Stephanorhinus etruscus and S. jeanvireti but overlaps with Dihoplus schleiermacheri. P. megarhinus and D. schleiermacheri differ in some characters of the lower molars, such as the length of the metalophid and the shape of the trigonid in occlusal view, thus allowing new considerations on the Pliocene Spanish rhinocerotine record. According to the results here obtained, three species are at least documented in Span during the Pliocene: P. megarhinus, P. miguelcrusafonti, and S. etruscus. The presence of S. jeanvireti has to be verified and confirmed by further evidence. The presence of Dihoplus schleiermacheri as a relict taxon in the Pliocene of Spain is here discarded.
Group decision making method with hesitant fuzzy preference relations based on additive consistency and consensus

Published: January 2022

AbstractTo address the situation where the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) has problems with hesitant fuzzy preference relations (HFPRs), this paper develops a group decision making method considering the additive consistency and consensus simultaneously. First, a new normalized method for HFPRs is developed to address the situation where the evaluation information has different number of elements. Second, for improving the unacceptable consistent HFPRs, an algorithm is designed to derive acceptable consistent HFPRs. The main characteristic of the design algorithm is that the values that need to be revised are identified first, and then design the local adjustment process. Third, an algorithm is developed to obtain a group of normalized HFPRs (NHFPRs), considering the additive consistency of HFPRs. Fourth, for improving the individual consistency and group consensus simultaneously, an algorithm is designed to obtain a group of HFPRs with acceptable consistency and consensus. Finally, the method of determining the decision makers’ weights and a procedure for MCDM problems with HFPRs are given. An illustrative example in conjunction with comparative analysis is used to demonstrate the proposed method which is feasible and efficient for practical MCDM problems.
Polycentric governance of transit migration: A relational perspective from the Balkans and the Middle East
Authors: Koinova Maria 
Published: January 2022

AbstractState and non-state actors interact in both formal and informal ways during migration governance. Yet, we know little about such interactions, especially in the field of transit migration, a largely regional phenomenon. Here the categories of migrants are fluid between refugees, regular and irregular migrants, including those from conflict regions. Governance takes place also informally. Building on relational theories in International Relations, this article introduces a novel relational approach to polycentric governance. I argue that at the centre of such governance are not simply institutions or migration regimes, but power-laden relations among governmental, non-governmental, supranational, and non-state actors, as well as sending and destination states. These form architectures of partially official, partially informal dynamics that govern transit migration in a particular world region. Such architectures are based on mechanisms of cooperation, conditionality, containment, contestation, and others, combined in regionally specific ways. The mechanisms manifest themselves differently depending on how actors are embedded in places with different political regimes and statehood capacities. The article illustrates this relational perspective to polycentric governance with comparative evidence from the Balkans and the Middle East.

AbstractBackground:Survival after paediatric in-hospital cardiac arrest is worse on nights and weekends without demonstration of disparity in cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality. It is unknown whether these findings differ in children with CHD. This study aimed to determine whether cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality might explain the hypothesised worse outcomes of children with CHD during nights and weekends.Methods:In-hospital cardiac arrest data collected by the Pediatric Resuscitation Quality Collaborative for children with CHD. Chest compression quality metrics and survival outcomes were compared between events that occurred during day versus night, and during weekday versus weekend using multivariable logistic regression.Results:We evaluated 3614 sixty-second epochs of chest compression data from 132 subjects between 2015 and 2020. There was no difference in chest compression quality metrics during day versus night or weekday versus weekend. Weekday versus weekend was associated with improved survival to hospital discharge (adjusted odds ratio 4.56 [1.29,16.11]; p = 0.02] and survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurological outcomes (adjusted odds ratio 6.35 [1.36,29.6]; p = 0.02), but no difference with rate of return of spontaneous circulation or return of circulation. There was no difference in outcomes for day versus night.Conclusion:For children with CHD and in-hospital cardiac arrest, there was no difference in chest compression quality metrics by time of day or day of week. Although there was no difference in outcomes for events during days versus nights, there was improved survival to hospital discharge and survival to hospital discharge with favourable neurological outcome for events occurring on weekdays compared to weekends.

AbstractThis work aimed to investigate the effects of early progeny exposure to methylglyoxal (MG), programming for metabolic dysfunction and diabetes-like complications later in life. At delivery (PN1), the animals were separated into two groups: control group (CO), treated with saline, and MG group, treated with MG (20 mg/kg of BW; i.p.) during the first 2 weeks of the lactation period. In vivo experiments and tissue collection were done at PN90. Early MG exposure decreased body weight, adipose tissue, liver and kidney weight at adulthood. On the other hand, MG group showed increased relative food intake, blood fructosamine, blood insulin and HOMA-IR, which is correlated with insulin resistance. Besides, MG-treated animals presented dyslipidaemia, increased oxidative stress and inflammation. Likewise, MG group showed steatosis and perivascular fibrosis in the liver, pancreatic islet hypertrophy, increased glomerular area and pericapsular fibrosis, but reduced capsular space. This study shows that early postnatal exposure to MG induces oxidative stress, inflammation and fibrosis markers in pancreas, liver and kidney, which are related to metabolic dysfunction features. Thus, nutritional disruptors during lactation period may be an important risk factor for metabolic alterations at adulthood.

AbstractIn convergent systems, the interplay between tectonics, erosion, and sedimentation controls the orogenic evolution. The nature of the interactions between these factors is still elusive due to the complex feedbacks that operate across different temporal and spatial scales. Here, we investigate these feedbacks with analog models of landscape evolution designed to account for both tectonic forcing and surface processes, using a water‐saturated granular material that allows to simulate contemporary brittle deformation and surface processes. The deformation is imposed by the movement of a rigid backstop, and surface processes are triggered by simulated rainfall and runoff. We vary the convergence velocity, rainfall rate, and basal angle of the box, testing how different boundary conditions affect the balance between tectonics and surface processes. We measure the competition between input fluxes (tectonics) and output fluxes (erosion) of material, showing how sedimentation strongly affects the balance between these fluxes. The results suggest that the experimental equilibrium between tectonics and erosion can be achieved, in the analog models, only for low convergence rates (about 10 mm hr−1) and/or for high basal angle (>2°, limited sedimentation). If the foreland is overfilled with sediments and/or if convergence velocity is higher, channels decrease their erosional efficiency, moving the dynamic equilibrium between tectonics and erosion toward the former.
