Wild kangaroos become more social when caring for young and may maintain long-term affiliations with popular individuals
<p>Kangaroos are an iconic group of Australian fauna. Despite considerable research on kangaroo behaviour, key gaps remain in our understanding of their social organization in the wild. In particular, it remains largely unknown whether kangaroos form long-term social bonds and what factors might prompt individuals to associate or dissociate from one another. Over 6 years, we monitored the social affiliations of individually identified eastern grey kangaroos, Macropus giganteus, in a large wild population. We investigated the short-term and long-term relationships of kangaroos and the extent those relationships varied with age, sex and reproductive state. We found evidence that long-term relationships among eastern grey kangaroos are possible, especially between adult females. Those individuals that were more sociable within years were also more likely to establish affiliations across years. Contrary to previous studies, we observed females actively associating with other mothers in the years in which they had young. These data suggest that the fission-fusion dynamics of eastern grey kangaroo social behaviour allow females to modulate their social position with conspecifics according to their current reproductive state. We highlight the adaptive implications of the formation of long-term bonds and the changes in social behaviour observed in females.</p>

Raw Data for the article: Impact of the Organizational Model Adopted during the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Perceived Safety of Intensive Care Unit Staff
<p><strong>Background: </strong>The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic had a devastating health, social, and economic effect on the population. Organizational, technical and structural operations aimed at protecting staff, outpatients and inpatients were implemented in an Italian hospital with a COVID-19 dedicated intensive care unit. The impact of the organizational model adopted on the perceived safety among staff was evaluated.</p> <p><strong>Methods: </strong>Descriptive, structured and voluntary, anonymous, non-funded, self-administered cross-sectional surveys on the impact of the organizational model adopted during COVID-19 on the perceived safety among staff.</p> <p><strong>Results: </strong>Response rate to the survey was 67.4% (153 completed surveys). A total of 91 (59%) of respondents had more than three years of ICU experience, while 16 (10%) were employed for less than one year. Group stratification according to profession: 74 nurses (48%); 12 medical-doctors (7%); 11 physiotherapists (7%); 35 nurses-aides (22%); 5 radiology-technicians (3%); 3 housekeeping (1%); 13 other (8%). The organizational model implemented at ISMETT made them feel safe during their workday. A total of 113 (84%) agreed or strongly agreed with the sense of security resulting from the implemented measures. A vast majority of respondents perceived COVID-19 as a dangerous and deadly disease (94%) not only for themselves but even more as vectors towards their families (79%). A total of 55% of staff took isolation measures and moved away from their home by changing personal habits. The organizational model was perceived overall as appropriate (91%) to guarantee their health.</p> <p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The vast majority of respondents perceived the overall model applied during an unexpected, emergency situation as appropriate.</p>

Influence of microhabitat, fecundity, and parental care on the evolution of sexual size dimorphism in Caribbean Eleutherodactylus frogs
<p><span>Rensch's rule suggests that sexual size dimorphism (SSD) increases with species size when males are the larger sex, whereas it decreases when females are the larger sex. However, the process responsible for this pattern remains obscure. SSD can result from sexual selection, such as intra-sexual competition for access to mates, or from natural selection, due to resource partitioning or fecundity selection. We studied SSD in Caribbean <em>Eleutherodactylus</em> frogs using phylogenetic comparative methods to investigate the influence of microhabitat, fecundity, and parental care. Our results show that in Caribbean <em>Eleutherodactylus,</em> females tend to be larger and, contrary to Rensch's rule, dimorphism increases with species size. SSD was not related to microhabitat use. However, SSD was positively correlated with fecundity, mediated by a greater increase in female size. SSD was also influenced by parental care, suggesting that male care promotes larger male size and reduces the female bias in SSD. As suggested for other anurans, female-biased SSD in Caribbean <em>Eleutherodactylus</em> results from fecundity selection, although the magnitude is countered by increased male size in species with paternal care. Our results highlight the importance of considering various selective forces that may act in concert to influence the evolution of sexual size dimorphism.</span></p>

Molecular epidemiology and risk factors for extended-spectrum β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales in long-term care residents
<div class="abstract-content selected"> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Objectives: </strong> We aimed to assess the burden of extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Enterobacterales in Swiss long-term care facilities (LTCFs) to describe the molecular epidemiology, describe the intra-institutional and regional clusters of resistant pathogens, and identify independent institution- and resident-level factors associated with colonization.</p> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Design: </strong> Cross-sectional study.</p> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Setting and participants: </strong> From August to October 2019, we performed a point prevalence study among residents from 16 LTCFs in Western and Eastern Switzerland (8 per region).</p> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Methods: </strong> Residents underwent screening for ESBL-producing Enterobacterales (ESBL-E); whole-genome sequencing (WGS) was performed. We gathered institution-level (eg, number of beds, staff-resident ratio, alcoholic hand rub consumption) and resident-level [eg, anthropometric data, time in facility, dependency, health care exposure, antibiotic treatment, proton-pump inhibitor (PPI) use] characteristics. Factors associated with colonization were identified using a generalized linear model.</p> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Results: </strong> Among 1185 eligible residents, 606 (51%) consented to the study. ESBL-E prevalence was 11.6% (70/606), ranging from 1.9% to 33.3% between institutions, with a median of 12.5% in the West and 6.9% in the East (P = .03). Among 59 <em>Escherichia</em> <em>coli</em> (from 58 residents), multilocus sequence type (ST) 131 was most common (n = 43/59, 73%), predominantly its subclone H30R1 (n = 37/43, 86%). WGS data identified multiple intra-institutional and regional clusters. Independent risk factors for ESBL carriage were previous ESBL colonization [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 23.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) 6.6–83.8, P < .001), male gender (aOR 2.6, 95% CI 1.5–4.6, P = .002), and use of PPIs (aOR 2.2, 95% CI 1.2–3.8, P = .01).</p> <p><strong class="sub-title"> Conclusions and implications: </strong> Overall ESBL-E prevalence in Swiss LTCF residents is low. Yet, we identified several clusters of residents with identical pathogens within the same institution. This implies that particularly affected institutions might benefit from targeted infection control interventions. PPI use was the only modifiable factor associated with carriage of ESBL producers. This study adds to the growing list of adverse outcomes associated with PPIs, calling for action to restrict their use in the long-term care setting.</p> </div>
Training of maternity service providers on supportive and dignified maternity care: pre-post training assessment
<p>Poor psychosocial support and lack of respectful care for women during childbirth are commonplace in health facilities in low- and middle-income countries. While WHO recommends providing supportive care to pregnant women, there is a scarcity of material for building the capacity of maternity staff to provide systematic and inclusive psychosocial support to women in the intrapartum phase and prevent work stress and burnout in maternity teams. To address this need we adapted WHO's mhGAP and its training manual for maternity care staff to provide psychosocial support in labour room settings. Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) is an evidence-based intervention which focuses on providing psychosocial support to people with mental, neurological and substance-use disorders (MNS).</p> <p>The objective of this paper is to describe the adaptation of mhGAP to develop psychosocial support-capacity-building materials for maternity staff to provide support to maternity patients, and also to staff, in the labour room.</p> <p>Adaptation was conducted within the Human-Centered Design framework in three phases: inspiration, ideation, and implementation feasibility. In the inspiration phase, a review of national-level maternity service-delivery documents and formative study via in-depth interviews of maternity staff were conducted. Ideation involved a multidisciplinary team to develop capacity-building materials by adapting mhGAP. This phase was iterative and included cycles of pretesting with staff, deliberations among the core team, and revision of materials. In the implementation feasibility phase, materials were tested via the training of 98 maternity staff and exploring system feasibility via post-training visits to health facilities.</p> <p>The inspiration phase identified gaps in policy directives and implementation. A formative study found that staff lacked the understanding and skills to assess patients' psychosocial needs and provide appropriate support. Allied with this, it became evident that maternity staff themselves needed psychosocial support. In ideation, the team developed capacity-building materials comprising two modules: one dedicated to conceptual understanding, and the other to implementing psychosocial support in collaboration with maternity staff. In the implementation feasibility phase, Staff found the materials relevant, acceptable and feasible for the labour room setting. Finally, users and experts reviewed and endorsed the relevance and usefulness of the materials. </p> <p>Our work in developing psychosocial-support training materials for maternity staff extends the utility of mhGAP by building the capacity of maternity staff to identify specific, hitherto-neglected needs of patients and staff, and by supporting, respectively, pregnant women to have positive birthing experiences, and maternity staff to manage workplace stress and avoid burnout. These materials can be used in a similar maternity setting after cultural adaptation.</p>
Parental care results in a greater mutation load, for which it is also a phenotypic antidote
<p>Benevolent social behaviours, such as parental care, are predicted to relax selection against deleterious mutations, enabling them to persist. We tested this prediction experimentally using burying beetles, <em>Nicrophorus</em> <em>vespilloides</em>, which make an edible nest for their larvae, whom they nourish and defend. For 20 generations, we allowed replicate experimental burying beetle populations to evolve either with post-hatching care ('Full Care' populations) or without it ('No Care' populations). Lineages were seeded from these experimental populations and then inbred to expose differences in their mutation load. Outbred lineages served as controls. Half the lineages received post-hatching care, half did not. We found that inbred lineages derived from the Full Care populations had lower breeding success and went extinct more quickly than lineages derived from the No Care populations – but only when offspring received no post-hatching care. We infer that Full Care lineages carried more recessive deleterious mutations. When parents provided care, the developmental environment was sufficiently benign that broods had higher survival, whether the population had a high mutation load or not. We suggest that the increased mutation load caused by parental care increases a population's dependence upon care. This could explain why care is seldom lost once it has evolved.</p>

Data from: Brood size, food availability, and body size affects male care decisions and offspring performance
<p>Parental care strategies do not only vary greatly across species, but also within species, there can be substantial between- and within-individual variation in parental care behaviour. To better understand the evolution of care strategies, it is crucial to determine how and when parents modify their behaviour in response to internal as well as environmental factors. Here, we investigated the effect of brood size, resource size and an individual's quality on care strategies of uniparental males and examined the downstream consequences on offspring performance in the burying beetle <em>Nicrophorus vespilloides</em>. Burying beetles breed on small vertebrate cadavers and, on average, males invest much less in care than females. Nevertheless, we found that uniparentally caring males were responsive to their social and non-social environment and adjusted the amount as well as the type of care to the size of the brood, the size of the cadaver and their own body size. Additionally, we show that the care strategies affected offspring performance. Specifically, males that cared longer had larger and more surviving larvae. Our results add to our understanding of plastic parenting strategies by showing that even the sex that provides less care can evolve a very flexible care behaviour.</p>

Corona Haikus - Poetics of compassion. Visual poetry and co-creation in virtual opening spaces as self-care and community-care
<p>The COVID-19 lockdowns and the maxim of social distancing have not only been accompanied by an upheaval of all so far assumed certainties and our complex socio-cultural infrastructures – they have also brought along deep permutation in our personal, intimate lives. As closeness and connectivity are essential in times of cataclysm, and as the preservation and negotiation of the effects of crises and its consequences is one element in deal with stress and anxieties, the impulse to document and reflect one's experiences, to reset one's focus and to regain agency through (co-)creative practices and mutual care have gained momentum. This might be one reason why during the lockdown many virtual communities emerged, e.g. social media initiatives with a documentary impetus, as well as collaborative web-projects. The motives for engaging in such networks are various – and often, one and the same project serves different needs at the same time for different user-participants. Apart from the impulse to document unprecedented times as a coping strategy to face personal uncertainties, and apart from the impetus to share one's experiences with others and thus to create a feeling of connectivity, these projects are also means for mediated self-care: they are spaces to self-reflexively cope with a slow-downed and often also isolated lifestyle and to make social distancing more bearable. This contribution examines the potentials of co-creative documentary poetry/poetic documentary in times of crises, taking the participatory project Corona Haikus as an example – a project, which launched during the first lockdown in March 2020 as an artistic experiment repurposing the facebook platform and which later metamorphosed into a curated website. I will investigate which community needs have existed during the crisis, and how the collaborative project Corona Haikus answered them. The focus of the presentation lies on co-creation as a form of self- and community-care, on the visual haiku as a poetic and therapeutic form and meditative practice of creation, as well as the use of networked media, to create 'open spaces' (sensu Zimmermann & De Michiel 2018), to foster communicative connectivity and to inspire creativity – thus making social media networks social in the proper sense of the word. Conceptualizations of co-creation, participation, mediated mindfulness and the healing potential of creativity – especially visual poetry – will be supplemented by reflections on community building, agency in co-creative projects and media ethics. In this sense, the contribution is meant as an analytic investigation of the status quo but also as a glimpse on the potential quo vadis of collaborative, interactive documentary and its (new) functions a means for self-care and community-care.</p> <p>Corona Haikus curated website: <a href="https://coronahaikus.com">https://coronahaikus.com</a></p> <p>Corona Haikus facebook group: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/226094118756231">https://www.facebook.com/groups/226094118756231</a> </p> <p>Interview / Podcast with Sandra Gaudenzi and Sandra Tabares Duque on Kammerfilmmern & Mediales Rauschen: <a href="https://kammerflimmern.podigee.io/b10-corona-haikus">https://kammerflimmern.podigee.io/b10-corona-haikus</a></p> <p>Published in: <a href="https://trametrami.avinus.org/publikationen/8-2023">https://trametrami.avinus.org/publikationen/8-2023</a> </p>
Establishing a new standard of care for calculus using trials with randomized student allocation
<p>Calculus, the study of change in processes and systems, serves as the foundation of many STEM disciplines. Traditional, lecture-based calculus instruction presents a persistent barrier for students seeking STEM degrees, limits access to STEM professions, and blocks their potential to address society's challenges. A large-scale pragmatic trial with randomized student allocation was conducted to compare two calculus instruction styles: active student engagement (treatment condition) versus traditional, lecture-based instruction (control condition). A sample of 811 U.S. university students was studied across 32 sections taught by 19 instructors over three semesters at a large U.S. Hispanic-Serving Institution. Large effect sizes were consistently measured for student learning outcomes in the treatment condition, which demonstrated a new standard for calculus instruction and increased opportunities for completion of STEM degrees.</p>
Data from: Novel methods to define invasive procedures at the end-of-life were developed to improve quality of end of life care research: A population-based cohort study in colorectal cancer
<p><strong>Background</strong></p> <p>Understanding the use of invasive procedures (IPs) at the end-of-life (EoL) is important to avoid under- and overtreatment, but epidemiologic analysis is hampered by limited methods to define treatment intent and EoL phase. This study applied novel methods to report IPs at the EoL using a colorectal cancer (CRC) case study.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p>An English population-based cohort of adult patients diagnosed between 2013 and 2015 was used with follow-up to 2018. Procedure intent (curative, non-curative, diagnostic) by cancer site and stage at diagnosis was classified by two surgeons independently. Joinpoint regression modelled weekly rates of IPs for 36 sub-cohorts of patients with incremental survival of 0-36 months. EoL phase was defined by a significant IP rate change before death. Zero-inflated Poisson regression explored associations between IP rates and clinical/sociodemographic variables.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong></p> <p>Of 87,731 patients included, 41,972 (48%) died. 9,492 procedures were classified by intent (interrater agreement 99.8%). Patients received 502,895 IPs (1.39 and 3.36 per person year for survivors and decedents). Joinpoint regression identified significant increases in IPs four weeks before death in those living 3-6 months, and eight weeks before death in those living 7–36 months from diagnosis. 7,908 (18.8%) patients underwent IPs at the EoL, with stoma formation the most common major procedure. Younger age, early-stage disease, men, lower comorbidity, those receiving chemotherapy and living longer from diagnosis were associated with IPs.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p> <p>Methods to identify and classify IPs at the EoL were developed and tested within a CRC population. This approach can be now extended and validated to identify potential under- and overtreatment. </p>
Prospective cohort study of a community-based primary care program's effects on pharmacotherapy quality in low-income Peruvians with type 2 diabetes and hypertension
<p>A door-to-door survey was conducted to enumerate all household members by age and sex in a low-income community in Peru. 856 adults 35 years and older were eligible to participate in screening for type 2 diabetes and hypertension. 709 (83%) participated in screening. 130 (18.3%) were diagnosed with hypertension and/or type 2 diabetes of which 109 (84%) participated at program onset and 22 were added later from earlier non-participants in screening or program onset to form the cohort of 131 patients with diabetes and/or hypertension. The primary care program had components of the Chronic Care Model, community health workers, and freely accessible visits and medications. The program operated between September 2011 and May 2014, and consisted of two care periods (separated by a six-month hiatus), first a 10-month home-care period, then a 17-month clinic-care period. The dataset is two files corresponding to two exposures: the 27-month program overall (post- versus pre-) (N=262 observations, 131 pairs with patients as self-controls) and care period (clinic versus home), N=211 (109 home and 102 clinic observations, >131 because 80 patients participated in both care periods). Exposures were evaluated for their effects on guidelines-based pharmacotherapy standards: hypoglycemic and antihypertensive medications, low-dose aspirin, and first-line angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) treatment of diabetes with elevated blood pressure.</p>
