description: Giving evidence in court can be stressful, especially for children. Since increased anxiety is associated with an increased likelihood of unreliable testimony among children, reducing anxiety in this context is important to improve the quality of evidence. Dogs have been used in legal settings, such as courtrooms, to provide comfort for vulnerable witnesses. Preliminary evidence supports their use, but further research is needed to better understand this phenomenon. The aim of this study was to characterize the employment of dogs in legal settings for survivors of sexual and/or family violence (SFV), as reported by adult professionals working in those contexts. This qualitative, exploratory study included interviews with 11 professionals (9 women, 2 men) working with dogs in legal contexts. Participants reported considerable benefits for survivors when dogs are integrated into these settings. Participants reported that survivors felt more comfortable opening up about their experiences, remaining calm enough to give reliable evidence. Several participants reported that this willingness to give evidence in court led perpetrators of SFV to plead guilty to the charges. In addition to reported benefits for survivors, participants also indicated that staff morale improved. Challenges identified included logistical (e.g., managing staff with dog allergies) and structural (e.g., lack of support from other members of the legal community) issues. Animal welfare was a priority for all participants, but some dogs experienced high workloads. Future research should empirically examine these benefits, to understand whether the use of dogs in legal settings should be encouraged.

description: Late Devonian marine mass extinctions associated with the Frasnian-Famennian stage transition (approximately 370 million years ago) occurred in a succession of extinction pulses within a narrow stratigraphic interval known as the Kellwasser Crisis. In most localities, this interval is typically only meters thick, but an expanded, 32 m thick cyclic marine sedimentary section at Walnut Creek, Chautauqua County, New York, USA permits investigation of the Kellwasser Crisis interval at an unprecedented high resolution. Visible cyclicity within the section strongly suggests the presence of Milankovitch cycles, which are globally correlatable and can be used to develop an accurate duration for this crucial extinction period. Astrochronology developed from this section will be used to investigate changes in climate forcing mechanisms driven by Milankovitch cycles, and to reduce uncertainty in the Late Devonian timescale.
Current status for controlling the overlooked caprine fasciolosis

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The disease fasciolosis is caused by the liver flukes Fasciola hepatica and F. gigantica, which infect a wide range of mammals and production livestock, including goats. These flatworm parasites are globally distributed and predicted to cost the livestock industry a now conservative USD 3 billion per year in treatment and lowered on-farm productivity. Infection poses a risk to animal welfare and results in lowered fertility rates and reduced production yields of meat, milk and wool. This zoonotic disease is estimated to infect over 600 million animals and up to 2.4 million humans. Current and future control is threatened with the global emergence of flukes resistant to anthelmintics. Drug resistance calls for immediate on-farm parasite management to ensure treatments are effective and re-infection rates are kept low, while a sustainable long-term control method, such as a vaccine, is being developed. Despite the recent expansion of the goat industry, particularly in developing countries, there are limited studies on goat-focused vaccine control studies and the effectiveness of drug treatments. There is a requirement to collate caprine-specific fasciolosis knowledge. This review will present the current status of liver fluke caprine infections and potential control methods for application in goat farming.

description: Background: Palliative care can be demanding and stressful for providers. There is increasing recognition in the literature of the impact of caregiving in palliative care settings, including compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction. However, to date this literature has not been systematically reviewed. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the literature on compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction among palliative care health providers caring for adult patients. Methods: Scoping review method guided by Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines was conducted using four electronic databases to identify the relevant studies published with no time limit. Following the title and abstract review, two reviewers independently screened full-text articles, and extracted study data. A narrative approach to synthesizing the literature was used. Results: Twenty studies were included in the review. Five themes emerged from synthesis: conceptualisation of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction; measurement of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction; consequences of compassion fatigue or compassion satisfaction and providing care for patients with life-threatening conditions; predictors or associated factors of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction among palliative care health providers; and strategies or interventions to support palliative care health providers and reduce compassion fatigue. Conclusions: Limited studies examined the effectiveness of specific interventions to improve compassion satisfaction and reduce compassion fatigue among palliative care health providers. Further investigation of the impacts of compassion fatigue and compassion satisfaction on palliative care health providers and their work is also needed.

description: Resilience has been depicted as a key characteristic in the promotion of mental health in the face of stress and adversity. Despite high levels of stress encountered in the autistic population, resilience studies remain scarce. Using data from an Australian longitudinal adult study, this study explored the inter-relationships between trait resilience, coping, and mental health in a sample of autistic adults (N = 78). In particular, we examined the relationship between resilience and use of coping strategies, and the potential mediating role of coping strategies in the relationship between resilience and mental health outcomes. Our findings suggested that increased use of engagement coping (e.g., problem-solving, positive appraisal) and decreased use of disengagement coping (e.g., self-blame, being in denial) strategies were associated with higher levels of resilience. Further, mediation analysis results suggest that disengagement coping mediated the associations between resilience and all three mental health outcomes (i.e., depression, anxiety, and well-being), while engagement coping strategies mediated the relationship between resilience and well-being only. Our results illustrate that coping strategies may be an important mechanism in explaining the resilience-mental health relationship in autistic adults, highlighting the importance of considering stress-related constructs together (i.e., trait resilience and coping) when addressing support and intervention options for mental health difficulties in the autistic adult population. Lay Summary: This research explored how resilience and coping strategies influence the mental health and well-being of autistic adults. We found that resilient autistic adults used more engagement coping strategies, less disengagement coping strategies, and reported better mental health and well-being. Considering stress-related factors together (i.e., resilience and coping) offers a novel perspective to mental health difficulties in autistic adults and may be a vital step in the development of support options in this population.
NO AMENDMENT? NO PROBLEM: JUDGES, “INFORMAL AMENDMENT,” AND THE EVOLUTION OF CONSTITUTIONAL MEANING IN THE FEDERAL DEMOCRACIES OF AUSTRALIA, CANADA, INDIA, AND THE UNITED STATES

description: This article considers the way in which judges play a significant role in developing the meaning of a constitution through the exercise of interpretive choices that have the effect of “informally amending” the text. We demonstrate this by examining four written federal democratic constitutions: those of the United States, the first written federal democratic constitution; India, the federal constitution of the largest democracy on earth; and the constitutions of Canada and Australia, both federal and democratic, but emerging from the English unwritten tradition. We divide our consideration of these constitutions into two ideal types, identified by Bruce Ackerman: the “revolutionary” constitutions of the United States and India, and the “adaptive establishmentarian” constitutions of Canada and Australia. In this way, we show that judicial informal amendment changes constitutional meaning in both revolutionary and adaptive settings. We conclude that whatever the origins of a federal democratic constitution, be it revolutionary or adaptive establishmentarian, and whatever the background of the judges and the text with which they work, in the absence of formal amendment, judges use an image of the constitution to give and to change the meaning of a written text over time. This allows a constitution to adapt to changing social, economic, and political conditions where formal amendment, for whatever reason, proves difficult. But, in some cases, it might also leave a federal democracy with a constitution which the Framers did not intend. Whatever the outcome, though, the judges play a central role in the evolution of constitutional meaning over time, for good or for ill.
How to calculate root phenotypic plasticity as a trait for crop breeding programs

description: Agricultural production and it’s crop breeding programs is mainly oriented towards above-ground biomass. Nevertheless, phenotypic plasticity of the root system can improve resilience to environmental stress and ensure crop production under detrimental conditions. The ability to alter phenotypic root traits in response to the environment can be integrated in breeding programs when the plasticity of individual root traits can be quantified. The relative distance plasticity index (RDPI) is a useful and easy to use index for the quantification of the plasticity of root traits. It can be applied in laboratory as well as in field conditions.

description: Purpose: To explore the clinician experience of the feasibility of a supervised, exercise-based rehabilitation program co-located within a cancer treatment unit. Method: A qualitative study using individual semi-structured interviews was completed. Fifteen clinicians were purposively sampled from a cancer unit at a tertiary hospital where a new, exercise-based rehabilitation program was implemented. Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data were coded independently by two reviewers and analysed by thematic analysis. Results: The main theme was, ‘a co-located cancer rehabilitation program was perceived to initiate a cultural change’. A positive culture for exercise-based rehabilitation was demonstrated by consistent, positive messaging about exercise from a broad range of hospital staff. The culture shift was facilitated by the program being convenient for patients and staff, being visible, and by rapport building all within the context of filling a service gap. Conclusion: This study identified key practical elements in initiating a positive culture around exercise-based rehabilitation within a cancer unit. These data may inform future implementation of rehabilitation programs to improve access to exercise for cancer survivors.

description: One of the major contributors to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is human misuse of antibiotics. The goal of this research project was to understand knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to antibiotic use and AMR among undergraduate students at a large public university. A total of 527 undergraduate students at George Mason University completed an online KAP survey about AMR, holistic health, and climate change in January and February 2020. The participants were reasonably representative of the university's undergraduate student population. While 92% of the participants knew that antibiotics could be used to cure bacterial infections and 82% knew that resistant pathogens can be contagious, 47% incorrectly thought that antibiotics can cure viral infections, 42% believed that AMR was a problem only for people who take antibiotics often, and 38% believed that antibiotics weaken the immune system. Students with more knowledge about antibiotics and AMR were less likely to participate in the types of behaviors that generate AMR, such as taking antibiotics that were not prescribed to them, sharing their antibiotics with other people, and stopping antibiotics before the full course has been completed. The percentage of students who reported being worried about AMR (57%) was significantly lower than the percentage who were worried about climate changes (88%, p<0.001). Increasing knowledge about AMR among college students may contribute to raising their concern about AMR and encouraging them to adopt behaviors that help prevent AMR.

description: Fungal fruit rots and insect pests are among the most important problems negatively affecting the yield and quality of mid-Atlantic wine. In pathogenicity trials of fungi recovered from diseased Chardonnay and Vidal blanc grapes, Alternaria alternata, Pestalotiopsis telopeae, and Aspergillus japonicus were found to be unreported fruit rot pathogens in the region. Additionally, P. telopeae and A. japonicus had comparable virulence to the region’s common fruit rot pathogens. Furthermore, a timed-exclusion field study was implemented to evaluate vineyard insect-fruit rot relationships. It was found that clusters exposed to early-season insect communities that included Paralobesia viteana had a significantly greater incidence of sour rot than clusters protected from insects all season. These results were contrary to the current assumption that fall insects are the primary drivers of sour rot in the region. This research provides diagnostic tools and information to develop management-strategies against fungal and insect pests for mid-Atlantic grape growers.

description: This research was designed to elucidate the anti-inflammatory impacts of liquiritin on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated human corneal epithelial cells (HCECs). The Cell Counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay was adopted to assess cell viability. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the secretion levels of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α. Transcriptome analysis was conducted to identify the genes that exhibited differential expression between different treatment. The model group included cells treated with LPS (10 µg/mL), the treatment group comprised cells treated with liquiritin (80 µM) and LPS (10 µg/mL), and the control group consisted of untreated cells. To further validate the expression levels of the selected genes, including CSF2, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL8, IL1A, IL1B, IL24, IL6, and LTB, quantitative real-time PCR was performed. The expression of proteins related to the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway was assessed through western blot analysis. NF-κB nuclear translocation was evaluated through immunofluorescence staining. The secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α in LPS-induced HCECs was significantly downregulated by liquiritin. Based on the transcriptome analysis, the mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, namely IL-6, IL-8, IL-1β, IL-24, TNF-α, and IL-1α was overproduced by LPS stimulation, and suppressed after liquiritin treatment. Furthermore, the Western blot results revealed a remarkable reduction in the phosphorylation degrees of NF-κB p65, IκB, and Akt upon treatment with liquiritin. Additionally, immunofluorescence analysis confirmed liquiritin’s inhibition of LPS-induced p65 nuclear translocation. Collectively, these findings imply that liquiritin suppresses the expression of proinflammatory cytokines, and the anti-inflammatory impacts of liquiritin may be caused by its repression of the Akt/NF-κB signaling pathway in LPS-induced HCECs. These data indicate that liquiritin could provide a potential therapeutic application for inflammation-associated corneal diseases.

description: Understanding connectivity is crucial for the effective conservation and management of biota. However, measuring connectivity directly is challenging and it is often inferred based on assumptions surrounding dispersal potential, such as environmental history and species life history traits. Genetic tools are often underutilised, yet can infer connectivity reliably. Here, we characterise and compare the genetic connectivity and genetic diversity of three diadromous Australian fish species: common galaxias (Galaxias maculatus), tupong (Pseudaphritis urvillii) and Australian grayling (Prototroctes maraena). For each species, we investigate the extent of genetic connectivity across a study region in south-eastern Australia (∼700 km). We further determine the potential roles of contemporary ocean currents in shaping the patterns of genetic connectivity observed. Individuals across multiple rivers were sampled and >3000 single nucleotide polymorphisms were genotyped for each species. We found differences in genetic connectivity for the three species: common galaxias were highly connected, and Australian grayling and tupong exhibited patterns of isolation by distance. The degree of genetic connectivity for tupong and Australian grayling appeared unrelated to oceanic currents. This study indicates that the degree of connectivity for different diadromous species can vary greatly despite broadly similar life history strategies, highlighting the potential value of genetic tools for informing species-specific management plans.

description: To describe the choroidal retinal microvascular system in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) subjects and furnish additional proof for the early authentication and treatment of VKH suffers. From the beginning to July 2023, a comprehensive search for issued articles on optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA) among VKH sufferers was implemented in Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. This meta-analysis included 9 eligible studies. Primary endpoints included four kinds of vascular densities, such as superficial capillaris plexus (SCP), deep capillaris plexus (DCP), and choriocapillary (CC). In addition to these, there were foveal avascular zone (FAZ), central retinal thickness (CT), best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCVA log MAR), and subfoveal choroidal thickness (SFCT). SCP and DCP vessel densities in maculas were both smaller in VKH sufferers in the active stage than those normal and remission examinees (SCP vessel density, p < 0.00001, DCP vessel density, p < 0.00001). Compared to remission, CC vascular density was lower during the active phase. (p < 0.00001). SFCT and CT in the active phase exceeded those in normal and remission examinees (all of them p < 0.00001). In terms of the patients with remission, their FAZ was bigger than that in normal subjects. (MD =0.04, p < 0.0001). Retinal and choroidal microvasculatures are characteristically changed in active VKH patients, which suggests that OCTA can be used as a tool for VKH follow-up.

description: OBJECTIVES: There is limited large-scale data on maladaptive sleep practices in elite adult athletes and their influence on sleep characteristics. This study aimed to identify differences in sleep behaviours between individual and team-sport athletes using two sleep questionnaires.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: 407 (237 male, 170 female) elite adult athletes across sixteen sports (9 individual-sports, 7 team-sports) completed the Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
RESULTS: Individual-sport athletes reported greater total sleep time and higher sleep efficiency than team-sport athletes (p<0.05, d=0.28-0.29). There were no differences between global scores for the PSQI, however, there was a difference between global scores for the ASBQ as well as multiple individual items from both questionnaires (p<0.05), indicating poorer behaviours in team-sport athletes.
DISCUSSION: Team-sport athletes displayed more maladaptive pre-sleep behaviours and poorer sleep characteristics than individual-sport athletes.

description: Solar retinopathy, resulting from solar eclipse exposure, poses risks to visual health. This study explores acute and chronic phase findings using clinical examinations and optical coherence tomography (OCT) and optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) with a focus on longitudinal assessment. Seven eyes with a history of unprotected solar eclipse exposure were included. Clinical examination, fundus photography, OCT, and OCT-A imaging were performed at initial assessment, as well as at one-month and six-month follow-up intervals. Data analysis included descriptive statistics. The cases, exposed without protection, underwent assessments, revealing variable visual acuity, outer retinal layer, and Henle fiber layer changes during follow-up. Regression of hyperreflectivity within the outer retinal and Henle fiber layers was observed over time in all eyes, although persistent microdefects within the outer retinal layer were noted in specific cases. OCT-A imaging revealed a larger foveal avascular zone, which persisted over a six-month period in select cases. Additionally, affected eyes exhibited a decrease in superficial vascular density, with subsequent improvement noted during the six-month period. Solar retinopathy can result in visual impairment, accompanied by alterations observed in the Henle fiber layer using OCT. Additionally, OCT-A findings indicate possible vascular involvement. This study underscores the significance of adopting protective measures during solar eclipses and emphasizes the value of employing longitudinal multimodal imaging techniques to comprehend the pathophysiology of the condition.

description: Bioretention is a common stormwater control measure (SCM). While compost, combined with other bioretention soil media (BSM), has the potential for increased pollutant and water uptake and storage, it also may leach harmful nutrients. Limited information is available on the use of compost in SCMs. Therefore, this project seeks to analyze the impacts of the addition of biosolids-derived compost to bioretention. To accomplish this, bioretention mesocosm column studies were conducted to determine the leaching effects of 15%, 30%, and 30% tap water-washed compost, mixed with standard BSM. Synthetic storm runoff was applied to the columns and the effluent was analyzed for total nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and their speciation. All three columns leached N and P with maximum total N concentrations of 2,200, 2,100, and 300 mg-N/L and total P concentrations of 12, 4.9, and 4.6 mg-P/L for the 30%, 15%, and 30% washed mesocosms, respectively. Therefore, based on this study, it is not recommended that biosolids-derived compost be added to bioretention media.

description: Purpose: Clinical supervision is an important element of professional support for allied health professionals and contributes to the provision of safe, high quality patient care and health professional wellbeing. Structured clinical supervision frameworks have been recommended to improve access and effectiveness of clinical supervision for allied health professionals by providing practical guidance and increased consistency. However, there is limited evidence relating to the availability and quality of clinical supervision frameworks for allied health. Method: A systematic and critical review was conducted to identify and appraise clinical supervision frameworks for allied health. Included were peer-reviewed studies and grey literature documents, available in full text and written in English. Six databases and government and professional association websites were searched. The AGREE Health Systems Guidance (AGREE-HS) tool was used to appraise framework quality. Three researchers independently reviewed the frameworks and reached consensus on scores through discussion. AGREE-HS scores were analysed descriptively. Results: Twenty-six frameworks were appraised by the AGREE-HS including 7 peer-reviewed studies and 19 grey literature documents. Over half of all frameworks were from Australia, and the profession/s that they related to were most commonly allied health, social work, or psychology. The combined mean of the AGREE-HS final items scores for all studies/documents was 14.5 (SD = 4.0) out of a possible score of 35. Frameworks published in peer-reviewed studies used more robust methods to inform their development than frameworks sourced from the grey literature. In contrast, grey literature frameworks were often more clearly outlined, succinct, practical, and flexible for stakeholders to implement. Conclusions: There are limited published frameworks available for allied health professionals, and the frameworks that do exist are generally of low quality. As a result, many existing frameworks may not provide the practical guidance required to improve clinical supervision practice and optimise the benefits of clinical supervision. It is recommended that future policy relating clinical supervision needs to focus on the development of common, evidence-based allied health clinical supervision frameworks. Future frameworks should be practically orientated and use robust methods and evaluation to inform their development and implementation.
A Thermal Management Solution for Compact Power Converters

subject: FOS: Mechanical engineering

description: Regulated Transformer Rectifier Units contain several power electronic boards to facilitate AC to DC power conversion. As these units become smaller, the number of devices on each board increases while their distance from each other decreases, making active cooling essential to maintaining reliable operation. Although it is widely accepted that liquid is a far superior heat transfer medium to air, the latter is still capable of yielding low device operating temperatures with proper heat sink and airflow design. The purpose of this study is to describe the models and methods used to design and build the thermal management system for one of the power electronic boards in a compact, high power regulated transformer rectifier unit. Maximum device temperature, available pressure drop and manufacturability were assessed when selecting the final design for testing. Once constructed, the thermal management system’s performance was experimentally verified at three different power levels.

description: To explore the correlation of endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and oxidative stress (OS), and the protective effect of Sestrin2 (SESN2) on human lens epithelial cells (HLECs). Tunicamycin (TM) was used to induce ERS in HLECs. 4-Phenylbutyric acid (4-PBA) was used to inhibit ERS. Eupatilin applied to HLECs as SESN2 agonist. SESN2 expression was knocked down via si-RNA in HLECs. The morphological changes of HLECs were observed by microscope. ER-tracker to evaluate ERS, ROS production assay to measure ROS, flow cytometry to calculate cell apoptosis rate. Immunofluorescence to observe Nrf2 translocation, and effects of TM or EUP on SESN2. Western blot and qPCR were used to evaluate the expression of GRP78, PERK, ATF4, CHOP, Nrf2, and SESN2 expression in HLECs with different treatment groups. ERS can elevate the expression of ROS and Nrf2 to induce OS. Upregulation of SESN2 was observed in ERS-mediate OS. Overexpression of SESN2 can reduce the overexpression of ERS-related protein GRP78, PERK, ATF4, proapoptotic protein CHOP, OS-related protein Nrf2, as well as ROS, and alleviate ERS injury at the same time. Whereas knockdown of SESN2 can upregulate the expression of GRP78, PERK, ATF4, CHOP, Nrf2, ROS, and deteriorate ERS damage. ERS can induce OS, they form a vicious cycle to induce apoptosis in HLECs, which may contribute to cataract formation. SESN2 could protect HLECs against the apoptosis by regulating the vicious cycle between ERS and OS.

description: Since its creation in 1994, Compstat has emerged as a major policing reform. This innovation has been the recipient of numerous awards and has diffused rapidly across the U.S. policing landscape (Weisburd et al., 2003; Willis et al., 2010). Despite its popularity, there has been relatively little systematic research on Compstat from the perspective of a department’s largest resource – its patrol officers. This research attempts to address this gap by using a survey to collect and examine the views of patrol officers of Compstat within a single police department in the Northern Virginia region that makes an effort to involve patrol officers in the Compstat process. Assessing street-level officer's understanding of Compstat is important as this reform, at least in theory, promises to transform the entire organization. Identifying whether the perspective of these officers is consistent with the agency's efforts is useful as it can reveal where implementation problems are likely to occur and what might account for these problems. Surveys asked questions regarding the key elements of the Compstat program as it was designed by the organization in order to assess patrol officer perception. Findings show that many officers understood the main goal of the program and reported using problem solving and crime analysis data at the street-level; however, they did not feel that the accountability component required by command staff extended to them at the street-level. These results are in contrast to the traditional top-down management model of Compstat that places these responsibilities at the command staff level. Traditionally patrol officers are only tasked with responding to calls and following orders from command staff directed problem solving that stems from their use of timely data-driven information.

description: Despite the extensive implementation of Superstreets on congested arterials, reliable methodologies for such designs remain unavailable. The purpose of this research is to fill the information gap by offering reliable tools to assist traffic professionals in the design of Superstreets with and without signal control. The entire tool developed in this thesis consists of three models. The first model is used to determine the minimum U-turn offset length for an Un-signalized Superstreet, given the arterial headway distribution of the traffic flows and the distribution of critical gaps among drivers.  The second model is designed to estimate the queue size and its variation on each critical link in a signalized Superstreet, based on the given signal plan and the range of observed volumes. Recognizing that the operational performance of a Superstreet cannot be achieved without an effective signal plan, the third model is developed to produce a signal optimization method that can generate progression offsets for heavy arterial flows moving into and out of such an intersection design.
