Retirement experience, retirement satisfaction and life satisfaction of baby boomers
Authors: Ang Amberyce , Chen Cynthia , Mehta Kalyani 
Published: September 2022

Purpose
The practice of mandatory retirement age implies that some retirees may be forced to retire or are compelled to continue working. Retirement would then be determined by age and not by their personal choices. Against this backdrop, this study aims to understand the associations retirement transition types (voluntary or involuntary retirement) with retirement satisfaction and life satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach
This mixed research study seeks to understand how the retirement transition type in the form of voluntary or involuntary retirement is associated with retirement satisfaction and life satisfaction. In this study, 103 Singapore baby boomer retirees were interviewed and a questionnaire was administered.

Findings
Results showed that voluntary retirement and high social–emotional resources had significant positive associations with retirement satisfaction, and that financial resources and retirement satisfaction had significant associations with life satisfaction.

Research limitations/implications
Based on this study’s findings, a synthesized conceptual model was designed to illustrate the different roles and associations of resources with retirement satisfaction and life satisfaction. A retirement trajectory model was also created to cater for policy design at various stages of the retirement experience.

Practical implications
The retirement experience is multi-dimensional. It is highly relevant to almost every older adult. The relevance of this topic also meant that the findings in this study carry a potentially higher impact. Using the life span and multi-level perspectives to examine retirement, the findings in this study invite several timely human resources (HR) and national policy reviews. This paper proposed HR policy practices at three main points – late-career, retirement and bridge employment.

Originality/value
A unique feature of this study was to differentiate and compare “retirement satisfaction” with “life satisfaction”, and the differentiation of “retirement transition”, “retirement adjustment” and the “retirement trajectory”. The differentiation of these concepts can better shape policies targeted at different phases of the retirement experience. In addition, the resource-based dynamic perspective was used to identify and understand the types of resources that have significant associations with retirement and life satisfaction. For example, social–emotional resources were found to be significantly associated with retirement satisfaction, and financial resources were found to be significantly associated with life satisfaction.

Published: September 2022

AbstractOsteoporosis is a systemic bone‐resorbing disease that easily causes subsequent risk of fracture. Hence, the substantial physical burden of osteoporosis makes it an important public health issue. Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) is a chronic, recurrent, inflammatory skin disease. Despite the advances in medication for treating osteoporosis, identifying undiagnosed osteoporosis patients is still challenging. Since osteoporosis and SD share a similar pathobiology, e.g. inflammation and hormonal imbalance, we aimed to investigate whether the existence of SD increases osteoporosis risk by using the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database. A total of 7831 patients aged 18–50 years with SD and a control group of 31 324 patients without SD matched by age, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index, and index date at a ratio of 1:4 during 1996–2010 were recruited in the study. To measure the cumulative incidence and compare the hazard ratios of osteoporosis between each group, the Kaplan–Meier method and Cox proportional hazard regression models were utilized. It was found that 0.98% of SD patients had osteoporosis. Compared to the non‐SD group, the SD group had a 5.95‐fold higher osteoporosis risk after adjustment for variables. The impact of SD on osteoporosis risk was largest in the female and young age groups. In addition, the presence of hyperlipidemia, hyperthyroidism, and epilepsy synergistically increased osteoporosis incidence in the SD group. This first large cohort study demonstrated an association between SD and osteoporosis. Since the effect on bone health in SD patients with concomitant diseases is largest in early life, diet or lifestyle recommendations as well as regular bone examinations are advised during follow‐up of SD.
Dynamic generalised additive models (DGAMs) for forecasting discrete ecological time series
Authors: Clark Nicholas J. , Wells Konstans 
Published: September 2022

Abstract

Generalised additive models (GAMs) are increasingly popular tools for estimating smooth nonlinear relationships between predictors and response variables. GAMs are particularly relevant in ecology for representing hierarchical functions for discrete responses that encompass complex features including zero inflation, truncation and uneven sampling. However, GAMs are less useful for producing forecasts as their smooth functions provide unstable predictions outside the range of training data.

We introduce dynamic generalised additive models (DGAMs), where the GAM linear predictor is jointly estimated with unobserved dynamic components to model time series that evolve as a function of nonlinear predictor associations and latent temporal processes. These models are especially useful for analysing multiple series, as they can estimate hierarchical smooth functions while learning complex temporal associations via dimension‐reduced latent factor processes. We implement our models in the mvgam R package, which estimates unobserved parameters for smoothing splines and latent temporal processes in a probabilistic framework.

Using simulations, we illustrate how our models outperform competing formulations in realistic ecological forecasting tasks while identifying important smooth predictor functions. We use a real‐world case study to highlight some of mvgam's key features, which include functions for calculating correlations among series' latent trends, performing model selection using rolling window forecasts and posterior predictive checks, online data augmentation via a recursive particle filter and visualising probabilistic uncertainties for smooth functions and predictions.

Dynamic GAMs (DGAMs) offer a solution to the challenge of forecasting discrete time series while estimating ecologically relevant nonlinear predictor associations. Our Bayesian latent factor approach will be particularly useful for exploring competing dynamic ecological models that encompass hierarchical smoothing structures while providing forecasts with robust uncertainties, tasks that are becoming increasingly important in applied ecology.

Published: September 2022

SummaryThe primary aim of this review was to identify, analyse and codify the prominence and nature of human factors and ergonomics within difficult airway management algorithms. A directed search across OVID Medline and PubMed databases was performed. All articles were screened for relevance to the research aims and according to predetermined exclusion criteria. We identified 26 published airway management algorithms. A coding framework was iteratively developed identifying human factors and ergonomic specific words and phrases based on the Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model. This framework was applied to the papers to delineate qualitative and quantitative results. Our results show that human factors are well represented within recent airway management guidelines. Human factors associated with work systems and processes featured more prominently than user and patient outcome measurement and adaption. Human factors are an evolving area in airway management and our results highlight that further considerations are necessary in further guideline development.

Authors: Prior C. H. , Burlinson C. E. G. , Chau A. 
Published: September 2022

SummaryWe conducted a narrative review in six areas of obstetric emergencies: category‐1 caesarean section; difficult and failed airway; massive obstetric haemorrhage; hypertensive crisis; emergencies related to neuraxial anaesthesia; and maternal cardiac arrest. These areas represent significant research published within the last five years, with emphasis on large multicentre randomised trials, national or international practice guidelines and recommendations from major professional societies. Key topics discussed: prevention and management of failed neuraxial technique; role of high‐flow nasal oxygenation and choice of neuromuscular drug in obstetric patients; prevention of accidental awareness during general anaesthesia; management of the difficult and failed obstetric airway; current perspectives on the use of tranexamic acid, fibrinogen concentrate and cell salvage; guidance on neuraxial placement in a thrombocytopenic obstetric patient; management of neuraxial drug errors, local anaesthetic systemic toxicity and unusually prolonged neuraxial block regression; and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation use in maternal cardiac arrest.
The social tensions felt within: Explaining felt ambivalence about polarized societal debates through perceived opinion discrepancies in the social environment
Authors: Ton Gonneke Marina , Stroebe Katherine , van Zomeren Martijn 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWithin the context of polarized societal debates (e.g. abortion, racism, climate change), scholars often assume that individuals have clear‐cut positions, either in favour of or against the debated issue. However, recent work suggests that such debates can also be breeding grounds for felt ambivalence. Moving beyond previous work that mainly focused on ambivalence as internal cognitive conflict, we propose and test a social discrepancy hypothesis, which suggests that the discrepancies ambivalents perceive between and within their own opinion and the opinion of actors in their social network and society (e.g. friends, family, opinion‐based groups) positively explain their levels of felt ambivalence. In doing so, we quantitatively extend recent qualitative work by examining whether these social tensions are indeed felt within. To this end, we employed a multi‐survey research project (Ns = 184, 181, 187) in the context of different societal debates in the Netherlands. Supporting our hypothesis across different debates, results showed that ambivalents' perceived opinion differences in the social environment explained their felt ambivalence. This suggests that polarized societal debates offer social discrepancies that, for ambivalents at least, can facilitate an internalization of social tensions.

Published: September 2022

AbstractBackground and purposePost‐stroke seizures (PSSs) are some of the most common complications of stroke and are associated with poor outcomes in patients. Endovascular treatment (EVT) is the standard of care for patients with acute ischaemic stroke related large‐vessel occlusion. However, whether EVT increases the risk of PSSs remains controversial; the association between PSSs and EVT is poorly understood.MethodsPubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched for relevant studies published from 1995 to 6 December 2021. The overall incidence of PSSs in patients treated with EVT and the separate incidence for all included studies in each subgroup, stratified by the type of treatment or time of onset, were calculated. The pooled odds ratio and confidence interval were calculated to quantify the effects of EVT on PSS occurrence.ResultsIn all, 946 studies were screened and 16 articles were included, with a total sample size of 12,664 patients; 7836 patients received EVT, of whom 460 had PSS. The pooled incidence of PSS after EVT was 5.8%, which was similar to patients treated with mechanical thrombectomy (5.3%), intra‐arterial thrombolysis (6.8%) or bridging therapy (5.4%). The cumulative incidence of post‐stroke epilepsy (6.0%) was almost twice that of acute symptomatic seizures (3.6%). The pooled odds ratio for the relationship between EVT and PSS was 1.91 (95% confidence interval 0.98–3.73).ConclusionsThe cumulative incidence of stroke patients treated with EVT who developed seizures was 5.8%, and EVT was non‐significantly associated with the occurrence of seizures after stroke.
Photoperiodic control of protogyny in the lawn ground cricket, Polionemobius mikado (Orthoptera: Trigonidiidae)
Authors: Tanaka Kazuhiro 
Published: September 2022

AbstractSexual dimorphism in timing of adult emergence is common in insects. In most insects, males emerge before female (protandry), however, some insects show earlier female emergence (protogyny). Here, I report the effects of photoperiod on protogyny in the lawn ground cricket (Polionemobius mikado). Upon exposure to different photoperiods at 26 °C, P. mikado females were found to emerge earlier than the males in the short‐day photoperiod. However, no difference in the nymphal development duration was observed between the sexes in the long‐day photoperiod. Protogynous development is expected to be more pronounced in the crickets that eclosed later in the year than those that eclosed earlier; therefore, its adaptive significance is closely associated with environmental seasonality that is encountered by the eclosed females.

AbstractLow temperature is one of the abiotic factors that limit the biomass of Medicago ruthenica (L.), and carbon and nitrogen have important roles in the plant's growth and development. However, the information on the distribution of carbon and nitrogen under low temperature conditions is limited. In this study, we investigated the influence of carbon and nitrogen distribution on M. ruthenica (L.) Trautv. cv. ‘Zhilixing’ based on 13C and 15N isotope tracers in two temperature‐controlled chambers (4–10°C and 25°C, respectively) for 30 days. Results showed that under low temperature, plant height significantly decreased by 22.74%, whereas the ratio of underground to aboveground biomass considerably increased by 146.31% compared to the control plants at 30 days. Moreover, low temperature stress significantly increased the activities of sucrose synthase and glutamine synthase in leaves, shoots and roots. The total carbon content and the abundance of 15N increased in leaves, shoots and roots under low temperature, with a greater level of increase in shoots than in leaves and roots. The weight of leaves, shoots and roots was correlated with δ15N. Hence, low temperature inhibited growth and promoted the transport of carbon and nitrogen.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectivesThis study estimated the prevalence of dental fear/anxiety (DFA) in Southeast Asian youths and established their dental environment and practitioner preferences.MethodsA convenience sample of youths were enrolled from a local polytechnic. The Index of Dental Anxiety and Fear (IDAF‐4C) was used to ascertain the presence and severity of DFA. Socio‐demographic and IDAF‐4C data, along with participants' dental environment and practitioner partialities were gathered electronically. Statistical evaluations were performed with Kruskal‐Wallis and Chi‐square tests (α = 0.05).ResultsData from a total of 215 participants were appraised. The mean age of the study sample was 18.9 ± 2.0 years (87.4% women). Of these, 12.6% had moderate‐to‐high DFA and 6.0% had high‐to‐extreme DFA. As a group, Southeast Asian youths generally liked dental clinics with adorned walls, cooler temperatures, magazines/books, background music and audio‐visual devices. In addition, they favoured female practitioners who are younger (≤45 years old), friendly, talkative and maintain a professional relationship. However, those with high‐to‐extreme DFA preferred a warmer clinic environment and to have an informal relationship with their dental practitioners (p = 0.01).ConclusionsThe prevalence of moderate‐to‐extreme DFA in Southeast Asian youths was 18.6%. Individuals with high‐to‐extreme DFA may have disparate dental environment and practitioner preferences compared to those with no‐to‐moderate DFA.

AbstractBackgroundIt has been reported that the knowledge, attitudes and practices of nurses play a significant role in preventing incontinence‐associated dermatitis (IAD), and these three factors influence and interact with each other.This study aimed to translate the English version of the Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices of Incontinence‐Associated Dermatitis Questionnaire (KAP‐IAD‐Q) into Chinese and assess the validity and reliability of the Chinese KAP‐IAD‐Q (C‐ KAP‐IAD‐Q) used with Chinese nurses.MethodsThe KAP‐IAD‐Q was translated into Chinese strictly in accordance with the Brislin translation model, and a Chinese version of IAD was formed after discussion by experts. From October to November 2021, a total of 259 Chinese nurses were recruited through a convenience sampling method and investigated using the Chinese version of the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the incontinence‐associated dermatitis questionnaire (C‐KAP‐IAD‐Q) and the general self‐efficacy scale to assess its reliability and validity.ResultsThree factors were extracted by exploratory factor analysis comprised of 22 items. The Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.961, 0.929 and 0.833, and the intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.98 totally. The scale‐level content validity index (S‐CVI) was 0.95, and the item‐level content validity (I‐CVI) was 0.83–1.00. The correlation coefficient between the general self‐efficacy scale and the C‐KAP‐IAD‐Q was 0.561 (P < 0.01).ConclusionThe 22‐item C‐KAP‐IAD‐Q seems to be culturally well adapted and has good psychometric properties used by Chinese nurses.
Of Signs: Matter and Revelation in the Liturgies of William Durand and John Calvin
Authors: Wandel Lee Palmer 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThis article seeks to set aside what we might call Cartesian physics to revisit William Durand's conception of sign as set forth in the Rationale divinorum officiorum and John Calvin's as set forth in the Institutio christianae religionis. Reading the two works through the lens of medieval physics reveals commonalities – both held signs to be ever‐present modes of divine communication – and enables us to delineate more precisely their differences. For both, creation was a locus of divine communication. For Durand, the position of a faithful person was observation informed by Scripture, an attentiveness to the redundantia of divine communication in which Scripture and creation were in dialectic. For Calvin, divine communication was simultaneously visible and, to fallen humankind, imperceptible: even as creation held forth divine signs, human beings could not comprehend them. These differing conceptions of the human observer (Durand) or spectator (Calvin), precede and ground their differing approaches to eucharistic signs.

Published: September 2022

AbstractObjectivesWe report our surgical experience of transperineal bulbovesical anastomosis (BVA) for extensive posterior urethral stenosis (PUS).MethodsSix male patients who had extensive PUS extending from the bulbomembranous urethra to the bladder neck due to prostatic disease treatment and underwent transperineal BVA between 2014 and 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. BVA was performed according to the elaborate perineal approach for pelvic fracture urethral repair with minor modifications. After confirming the absence of recurrent stenosis 6 months postoperatively, the patients were offered artificial urinary sphincter (AUS) placement for subsequent urinary incontinence (UI).ResultsMedian patient age was 68, and the etiology of PUS was radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer in four patients, brachytherapy for prostate cancer in one, and transurethral resection of the prostate for benign prostatic hyperplasia in one. All patients had been previously treated with multiple transurethral procedures such as urethrotomy and dilation. Median operative time and blood loss were 211 min and 154 ml, respectively. Five cases (83.3%) had no recurrent stenosis with a median follow‐up of 45 months, but a single direct vision internal urethrotomy was performed in one (16.7%) due to restenosis. Four (66.7%) patients underwent AUS placement via transcorporal approach for subsequent UI, but two had it removed due to urethral erosion.ConclusionTransperineal BVA could effectively manage extensive PUS after prostatic disease treatment. Staged AUS placement could be a viable option for subsequent UI, but the risk of urethral erosion seemed high.

RésuméLes auteurs analysent les effets de la pandémie sur le processus de travail au sein de deux plateformes de livraison alimentaire opérant en Argentine et au Chili, Rappi et PedidosYa. En s'appuyant sur des entretiens semi‐directifs et une analyse du discours de la presse et des sites Internet, ils montrent que les plateformes ont transféré les coûts induits par la crise sur les travailleurs en instru‐mentalisant le statut de travailleur indépendant et en renforçant leur contrôle. En réaction, les livreurs ont eu recours à de multiples stratégies de résistance, qui vont de la location ou du prêt de comptes à l'organisation de grèves internationales.
