description: © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. Plants used for phytoextraction of heavy metals from contaminated soils with high levels of salinity should be able to accumulate heavy metals and also be tolerant to salinity. Australian native halophyte species Carpobrotus rossii has recently been shown to tolerate and accumulate multiple heavy metals, especially cadmium (Cd). This study examined the effects of salt type and concentration on phytoextraction of Cd in C. rossii. Plants were grown in contaminated soil for 63 days. The addition of salts increased plant growth and enhanced the accumulation of Cd in shoots up to 162 mg kg−1 which almost doubled the Cd concentration (87 mg kg−1) in plants without salt addition. The increased Cd accumulation was ascribed mainly to increased ionic strength in soils due to the addition of salts and resultantly increased the mobility of Cd. In comparison, the addition of Cl− resulted in 8–60 % increase in Cd accumulation in shoots than the addition of SO42− and NO3−. The findings suggest that C. rossii is a promising candidate in phytoextraction of Cd-polluted soils with high salinity levels.

description: Background: The "Watch Me Grow" (WMG) study examines the current developmental surveillance system in South West Sydney. This paper describes the establishment of the study birth cohort, including the recruitment processes, representativeness, follow-up and participants' baseline risk for future developmental risk. Methods: Newborn infants and their parents were recruited from two public hospital postnatal wards and through child health nurses during the years 2011-2013. Data was obtained through a detailed participant questionnaire and linked with the participant's electronic medical record (EMR). Representativeness was determined by Chi-square analyses of the available clinical, psychosocial and sociodemographic EMR data, comparing the WMG participants to eligible non-participants. Reasons for non-participation were also elicited. Participant characteristics were examined in six, 12, and 18-month follow-ups. Results: The number of infants recruited totalled 2,025, with 50 % of those approached agreeing to participate. Reasons for parents not participating included: lack of interest, being too busy, having plans to relocate, language barriers, participation in other research projects, and privacy concerns. The WMG cohort was broadly representative of the culturally diverse and socially disadvantaged local population from which it was sampled. Of the original 2025 participants enrolled at birth, participants with PEDS outcome data available at follow-up were: 792 (39 %) at six months, 649 (32 %) at 12 months, and 565 (28 %) at 18 months. Participants with greater psychosocial risk were less likely to have follow-up outcome data. Almost 40 % of infants in the baseline cohort were exposed to at least two risk factors known to be associated with developmental risk. Conclusions: The WMG study birth cohort is a valuable resource for health services due to the inclusion of participants from vulnerable populations, despite there being challenges in being able to actively follow-up this population.

description: In the late 1960s and early 1970s, Fluxus co-founder Wolf Vostell (1932–1998) used concrete as an actual material for his unique body of work, including the Betonbuch [Concrete Book]. Vostell's Concrete Book is a concrete slab in the shape of a book, measuring 34x25x4.5 cm, weighing about 9 kg (20 pounds) that is believed to encapsulate a copy of the author's paper-based booklet Betonierungen (Concretifications) which comprises unbound reproductions of many of his concrete works and utopian proposals to 'concretify' cities, furniture, and even clouds. In 1971, the artist constructed one hundred copies of the Concrete Book, and the copy no83 is in the holdings of the University of Chicago Library collection of rare artists' books. An unreadable book in any conventional sense, Concrete Book foregrounds tactility, physicality and materiality, providing a unique opportunity to explore questions of making and meaning: why the materials of bookmaking matter and how they signify. We assume that there is truly a book inside, but how can we confirm its presence? What non-destructive tests could be used to examine the inner contents?

This paper presents the results of an interdisciplinary study of Vostell's book that brings together curatorial, conservation and material science expertise and discusses how new material knowledge can enrich our understanding of an object's biography. Employing Vostell's Betonbuch as a reference point, this paper also explores the challenges libraries, conservators and scientists face when collecting and caring for works on unusual materials, discussing issues in storing and preserving these materials, and illustrating broader challenges in collection care and stewardship.

New Phytologist Trust. Effects of rhizosphere properties on the rhizosphere priming effect (RPE) are unknown. This study aimed to link species variation in RPE with plant traits and rhizosphere properties. Four C3 species (chickpea, Cicer arietinum; field pea, Pisum sativum; wheat, Triticum aestivum; and white lupin, Lupinus albus) differing in soil acidification and root exudation, were grown in a C4 soil. The CO2 released from soil was trapped using a newly developed NaOH-trapping system. White lupin and wheat showed greater positive RPEs, in contrast to the negative RPE produced by chickpea. The greatest RPE of white lupin was in line with its capacity to release root exudates, whereas the negative RPE of chickpea was attributed to its great ability to acidify rhizosphere soil. The enhanced RPE of field pea at maturity might result from high nitrogen deposition and release of structural root carbon components following root senescence. Root biomass and length played a minor role in the species variation in RPE. Rhizosphere acidification was shown to be an important factor affecting the magnitude and direction of RPE. Future studies on RPE modelling and mechanistic understanding of the processes that regulate RPE should consider the effect of rhizosphere pH.

description: Questions: How do people with knee symptoms describe their quality of life and experiences 5 to 20 years after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR)? What factors impact upon the quality of life of these people? Design: Qualitative study. Participants: Seventeen people with knee symptoms 5 to 20 years after ACLR and high (n = 8) or low (n = 9) quality of life scores were recruited from a cross-sectional study. Methods: Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted and transcribed. The data obtained from the interventions underwent inductive coding and thematic analysis. Results: Four consistent themes emerged from the interviews as common determinants of quality of life following ACLR: physical activity preferences; lifestyle modifications; adaptation and acceptance; and fear of re-injury. All participants described the importance of maintaining a physically active lifestyle and the relationship between physical activity and quality of life. Participants who avoided sport or activity reported experiencing reduced quality of life. Participants who suppressed or overcame re-injury fears to continue sport participation described experiencing a satisfactory quality of life while taking part in sport despite knee symptoms. For some participants, resuming competitive sport resulted in subsequent knee trauma, anterior cruciate ligament re-rupture or progressive deterioration of knee function, with negative impacts on quality of life following sport cessation. Participants who enjoyed recreational exercise often adapted their lifestyle early after ACLR, while others described adapting their lifestyle at a later stage to accommodate knee impairments; this was associated with feelings of acceptance and satisfaction, irrespective of knee symptoms. Conclusion: Activity preferences, lifestyle modifications and fear of re-injury influenced quality of life in people with knee symptoms up to 20 years following ACLR. People with a preference for competitive sport who do not enjoy recreational exercise might be at heightened risk of poor quality of life outcomes and could benefit from support to facilitate a transition to a physically active, satisfying lifestyle.

description: Background: Acute and chronic coronary heart disease (CHD) pose different burdens on health-care services and require different prevention and treatment strategies. Trends in acute and chronic CHD event rates can guide service implementation. This study evaluated changes in acute and chronic CHD event rates in metropolitan and regional/remote Victoria. Methods: Victorian hospital admitted episodes with a principal diagnosis of acute CHD or chronic CHD were identified from 2005 to 2012. Acute and chronic CHD age-standardised event rates were calculated in metropolitan and regional/remote Victoria. Poisson log-link linear regression was used to estimate annual change in acute and chronic CHD event rates. Results: Acute CHD age-standardised event rates decreased annually by 2.9 % (95 % CI, -4.3 to -1.4 %) in metropolitan Victoria and 1.7 % (95 % CI, -3.2 to -0.1 %) in regional/remote Victoria. In comparison, chronic CHD age-standardised event rates increased annually by 4.8 % (95 % CI, +3.0 to +6.5 %) in metropolitan Victoria and 3.1 % (95 % CI, +1.3 to +4.9 %) in regional/remote Victoria. On average, age-standardised event rates for regional/remote Victoria were 30.3 % (95 % CI, 23.5 to 37.2 %) higher for acute CHD and 55.3 % (95 % CI, 47.1 to 63.5 %) higher for chronic CHD compared to metropolitan Victoria from 2005 to 2012. Conclusion: Annual decreases in acute CHD age-standardised event rates might reflect improvements in primary prevention, while annual increases in chronic CHD age-standardised event rates suggest a need to improve secondary prevention strategies. Consistently higher acute and chronic CHD age-standardised event rates were evident in regional/remote Victoria compared to metropolitan Victoria from 2005 to 2012.

description: Melamine formaldehyde resin, MFR, is generally formed in a two stage process by the reaction of melamine and formaldehyde. The first stage reaction is carried out at about 70° - 80°C and pH 9-10; and the second stage involves subsequent polycondensation of the products in an acid medium. In this work, reaction is carried out till the first stage only. Thus, prepared MFR when blended in small proportion into PVA matrix in-solubilises PVA, forming a well defined PVA-MFR composite. The blend can be cast into films of desired thickness and strength. Nanoparticles of Ag, ZnO and TiO2 were prepared and characterised.  Each of the prepared nanoparticles was first blended into aqueous PVA, then blended with MFR, and nanocomposite films obtained. The films were subjected to TGA, FTIR and antimicrobial studies. The PVA-MFR composite films are found to have a high level of antimicrobial activity. Nanocomposites have enhanced antimicrobial activity due to antimicrobial property of nano Ag/ZnO/TiO2 in them. The activity is high, especially against highly resistant gram positive bacteria like Staphylococcus Aureus and Bacillus. The composite has good binding properties, forming stable, chemically resistant, coatings on fabric, paper, glass, polyester etc, rendering them antimicrobial. These films and coatings retain their antimicrobial activity over long period of time. Nano silver immobilised on antimicrobial PVA-MFR, could probably be an effective patch for wound dressings, and surgical mask, which are in great demand. A fine coating of the composite on medical devices can decrease the incidence of medical device related infections.

description: Bridged peri-aroylnaphthalene compounds are satisfactorily synthesized by the reaction of bis(fluorobenzoyl)naphthalene derivatives and catechol without high dilution conditions.  The preferential bond formation between the p-positioned carbon atoms of the terminal aromatic rings of peri-aroyl groups by 1,2-diaroyl benzene unit shows that the starting molecules take syn-orientation of the aroyl groups along with anti-form.  By comparison of the spatial organization of the bridged compound with the corresponding non-bridged homologues, the factors leading to syn-oriented conformation for peri-aroylnaphthalene derivatives in crystal packing are elucidated.

description: Dialogue between an appropriately developed embryo and hormonally-primed endometrium is essential to achieve implantation and establish pregnancy. Importantly, the point-of-first-contact between the embryo and the maternal endometrium occurs at the endometrial luminal epithelium (LE). Implantation events occur within the uterine cavity microenvironment regulated by local factors. Defects in embryo-endometrial communication likely underlie unexplained infertility; enhanced knowledge of this communication, specifically at initial maternal-fetal contact may reveal targets to improve fertility. Using a human endometrial luminal-epithelial (LE) cell line (ECC1), this targeted proteomic study reveals unique protein changes in both cellular (98% unique identifications) and secreted (96% unique identifications) proteins in the transition to the progesterone-dominated secretory (receptive) phase and subsequently to pregnancy, mediated by embryo-derived human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). This analysis identified 157 progesterone-regulated cellular proteins, with further 193 significantly altered in response to hCG. Cellular changes were associated with metabolism, basement membrane and cell connectivity, proliferation and differentiation. Secretome analysis identified 1059 proteins; 123 significantly altered by progesterone, and 43 proteins altered by hCG, including proteins associated with cellular adhesion, extracellular-matrix organization, developmental growth, growth factor regulation, and cell signaling. Collectively, our findings reveal dynamic intracellular and secreted protein changes in the endometrium that may modulate successful establishment of pregnancy. Biological significance: This study provides unique insights into the developmental biology of embryo implantation using targeted proteomics by identifying endometrial epithelial cellular and secreted protein changes in response to ovarian steroid hormones and pregnancy hormones that are essential for receptivity and implantation.

title: The lived experience of Relate supervisors of providing supervision
Creators: name: Ford, Belinda
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2025

description: This research explores the lived experience of Relate supervisors of providing supervision. It makes a unique contribution to the literature as supervisors’ lived experience is under-researched. The specific questions explored here are a definition of the role, and supervisors’ experiences of role tension and power relations. The research was completed from an insider perspective as I am myself a supervisor at Relate. It was my experience of the role that motivated me to complete the study. 
A phenomenological methodology was used for the research, and data was collected and analysed through a mixed methods approach. Firstly, a quantitative/qualitative online survey of Relate supervisors was undertaken and analysed through reflexive thematic analysis (RTA) (Braun and Clarke 2022). Secondly, individual interviews with Relate supervisors were completed and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) (Smith et al 2022). This approach facilitated, through interpretation, a phenomenological, idiographic understanding of Relate supervisors’ worlds. 
Findings from this study indicate that, firstly participants overwhelmingly experience tension in delivering their role. This they attribute to the following aspects of the work: having to hold supervisees to account and maintain quality control; synthesising the sometimes contradictory functions in the role; and being pulled into line management of supervisees. Secondly, participants consider that there is an unequal power relationship between them and their supervisees, where supervisors have the power. Whilst recognising this power dynamic and acknowledging that it needs discussion, participants hold power lightly and prefer to work collegially with supervisees. They are reluctant power takers. 
This research demonstrates that there is the potential for enhancements to training and practice within Relate, across the wider counselling field and within the related fields of nursing and social work supervision. These enhancements could be achieved through training, continuing professional development and awareness raising for supervisors, supervisees, managers and service providers.

description: Background: Restricted and repetitive behaviours (RRBs) constitute a core symptom domain of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the nature of RRBs in the context of the Broader Autism Phenotype (BAP) is not well understood. In particular, the relationship between RRBs in ASD probands and their parents remains largely unexplored. The current study explored the link between parental RRBs, measured via Interest in Patterns and Resistance to Changes subscales of the Autism Quotient and their children's RRBs, measured via Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule RRB standardized domain score. Findings: Having both parents within the top 20 % of their RRB scores was associated with an increase of RRB scores for their children; however, no parent-of-origin effects were identified. Although the trend was observed for both Interest in Patterns and Resistance to Changes subscale, it was only statistically significant for Interest in Patterns. Conclusions: This paper provides significant contribution to our understanding of association between RRBs in parents and their children with ASD. Future work should also address the BAP in distinct genetic subtypes (whole chromosome aneuploidies, single gene mutations, copy number variations) of neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders that involve RRBs.

description: Question: Does a program of exercise and structured advice implemented during the rehabilitation phase following a distal radial fracture achieve better recovery of upper limb activity than structured advice alone? Design: A phase I/II, multi-centre, randomised, controlled trial with concealed allocation, assessor blinding and intention-to-treat analysis. Participants: Thirty-three adults (25 female, mean age 54 years) following distal radial fracture managed in a cast. Intervention: The experimental intervention was a 6-week program of progressive exercise and structured advice implemented over three consultations by a physiotherapist. The control intervention was a program of structured advice only, delivered by a physiotherapist over three consultations. Outcome measures: The primary outcome was upper limb activity limitations, assessed by the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation and the shortened version of the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand outcome measure (QuickDASH). The secondary outcomes were wrist range of movement, grip strength and pain. All measures were completed at baseline (week 0), after the intervention (week 7) and at 6 months (week 24). Results: There were no significant between-group differences in upper limb activity as measured by the Patient-Rated Wrist Evaluation at week 7 and week 24 assessments (mean difference -4 units, 95% CI -10 to 2; mean difference 0 units, 95% CI -3 to 3, respectively), or QuickDASH at week 7 and week 24 assessments (mean difference -5 units, 95% CI -16 to 6; mean difference 0.3 units, 95% CI -6 to 7, respectively). The secondary outcomes did not demonstrate any significant between-group effects. Conclusion: The prescription of exercise in addition to a structured advice program over three physiotherapy consultations may convey no extra benefit following distal radial fracture managed in a cast.

Did sex chromosome turnover promote divergence of the major mammal groups?: De novo sex chromosomes and drastic rearrangements may have posed reproductive barriers between monotremes, marsupials and placental mammals

description: Comparative mapping and sequencing show that turnover of sex determining genes and chromosomes, and sex chromosome rearrangements, accompany speciation in many vertebrates. Here I review the evidence and propose that the evolution of therian mammals was precipitated by evolution of the male-determining SRY gene, defining a novel XY sex chromosome pair, and interposing a reproductive barrier with the ancestral population of synapsid reptiles 190 million years ago (MYA). Divergence was reinforced by multiple translocations in monotreme sex chromosomes, the first of which supplied a novel sex determining gene. A sex chromosome-autosome fusion may have separated eutherians (placental mammals) from marsupials 160 MYA. Another burst of sex chromosome change and speciation is occurring in rodents, precipitated by the degradation of the Y. And although primates have a more stable Y chromosome, it may be just a matter of time before the same fate overtakes our own lineage. Also watch the video abstract.
