<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A major focus of innovation in higher education today is to improve faculty teaching, especially their focus on students’ career readiness and acquisition of workplace-relevant communication and teamwork competencies (i.e., transferable skills). Some contend that such instruction is best achieved through hiring faculty with prior work experience in industry, where the “culture” is preferable to academia where practical skills and career guidance are undervalued. However, little research exists on the topic and in this study we draw on person-centered views of culture to conceptualize industry experience as a form of cultural knowledge (i.e., cultural scripts) that can travel with a person (or not) over time and space. Using a mixed methods design where we gathered survey (n = 1,140) and interview (n = 89) data from STEMM faculty, we used thematic and HLM techniques to explore the relationships among industry experience, various situational factors, and transferable skills instruction. Results show that while most had industry experience (76.2%), transferable skills are rarely emphasized, a variety of individual (e.g., race) and institutional (e.g., discipline) factors are associated with transferable skills instruction, and that industry experience provides both generalized and specific cultural scripts for career- and skills-oriented teaching. We conclude that instead of promoting skills-focused instructional innovations via hiring policies that assume the value of one institutional culture over another, it is more useful and respectful (to faculty) to teach industry-based cultural knowledge via faculty development programming in a way similar to work-integrated learning (WIL) and communication in the disciplines (CID) initiatives.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">This research focuses on how research ethics committee and integrity board members discuss and decide on solutions to case scenarios that involve a dimension of research ethics or integrity in collaborative settings. The cases involved issues around authorship, conflict of interest, disregard of good scientific practice and ethics review, and research with vulnerable populations (children and neonates). The cases were set in a university, a hospital, or a research institute. In the research, we used a deductive qualitative approach with thematic analysis. Twenty-seven research ethics committee and research integrity board members from 16 European countries and one country outside Europe participated. Participants represented natural and life sciences, social sciences, and humanities. They worked on cases involving ethical/integrity issues in six different constellations. Results show that experts apply key elements of ethical decision making, namely identification of ethical issues, stakeholders, guidelines, solutions, and own positionality, in dealing collaboratively with ethics/ integrity problems, and the nature of the application depends on the complexity of the case. Understanding how individuals knowledgeable in research ethics and integrity, in this case, individuals serving on research ethics committees and integrity boards, approach ethical/ moral issues can help to identify strategies that may be useful in the development of research ethics and integrity training for junior researchers who may benefit from learning professional strategies.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">A large body of research has documented racial/ethnic disparities in childhood obesity in the United States (US) but less work has sought to understand differences within racial groups. Longitudinal studies are needed to describe BMI trajectories across development, particularly for Black children from immigrant families who have been underrepresented in childhood obesity research. The current study utilizes BMI data collected longitudinally from ages 5 to 8 years and growth mixture modeling to (1) identify and visualize growth patterns among Black children from primarily Caribbean immigrant families, and (2) to compare these patterns to growth trajectories among Black children from US-born families. First, we identified four classes or trajectories of growth for Black children from immigrant families. The largest trajectory (70% of the sample) maintained non-overweight throughout the study period. A second trajectory developed overweight by age 8 (25%). Two small trajectory groups demonstrated high rates of moderate and severe obesity–i.e., specifically, a trajectory of accelerated weight gain ending in moderate/severe obesity (3%), and a trajectory of early severe obesity with BMI decreasing slightly with age (2%). We identified a very similar four class/trajectory model among Black children from US-born families, and compared the model to the one for children from immigrant families using multi-group growth mixture modeling. We found that the patterns of growth did not differ significantly between the populations, with two notable exceptions. Among Black children from immigrant families, ∼ 5% were classified into the two heavier BMI trajectories, compared to ∼ 11% of children from US-born families. Additionally, among children with an accelerated weight gain trajectory, children from immigrant families had lower BMIs on average at each time point than children from US-born families. These findings describe the multiple trajectories of weight gain among Black children from immigrant families and demonstrate that although these trajectories are largely similar to those of Black children from US-born families, the differences provide some evidence for lower obesity risk among Black children from immigrant families compared to Black children from US-born families. As this study is the first to describe BMI trajectories for Black children from immigrant families across early and middle childhood, future work is needed to replicate these results and to explore differences in heavier weight trajectories between children from immigrant and US-born families.</p>

<p class="a-plus-plus">Recognizing the inequities in developmental screening and services for children in immigrant families, a pediatric primary care clinic in partnership with a community-based early childhood program co-created a bicultural, bilingual early childhood developmental (ECD) family navigator program in Seattle, Washington. The primary aim of this study is to explore caregivers’ perspectives about this program. Twenty-seven caregivers of young children participated in semi-structured interviews that were thematically analyzed. Three key themes were identified: 1) sharing language and culture, 2) facilitating accessibility, and 3) promoting development. Caregivers valued linguistic and cultural concordance between the navigator and the family, the navigator’s approach to screening to improve accessibility and reduce barriers, and the focus on supporting early childhood development. Understanding caregivers’ experience with the ECD family navigator development program and the aspects they value, informs clinic-based approaches to ensure families of diverse language and cultural backgrounds have accessible development screening and connection to services.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p> <span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec1"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Background</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The increasing birthweight trend stopped and even reversed in several high income countries in the last 20 years, however the reason for these changes is not well characterized. We aimed to describe birthweight trends of term deliveries in Hungary between 1999 and 2018 and to investigate potential maternal and foetal variables that could drive these changes.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">We analysed data from the Hungarian Tauffer registry, a compulsory anonymized data collection of each delivery. We included all singleton term deliveries in 1999–2018 (<em class="a-plus-plus">n</em> = 1,591,932). We modelled birthweight trends separately in 1999–2008 and 2008–2018 in hierarchical multiple linear regression models adjusted for calendar year, newborn sex, maternal age, gestational age at delivery, and other important determinants.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec3"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Median birthweights increased from 3250/3400 g (girl/boy) to 3300/3440 g from 1999 to 2008 and decreased to 3260/3400 g in 2018. When we adjusted for gestational age at delivery the increase in the first period became more pronounced (5.4 g/year). During the second period, similar adjustment substantially decreased the rate of decline from 2.5 to 1.4 g/year. Further adjustment for maternal age halved the rate of increase to 2.4 g/year in the first period. During the second period, adjustment for maternal age had little effect on the estimate.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec4"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Conclusions</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Our findings of an increasing birthweight trend (mostly related to the aging of the mothers) in 1999–2008 may forecast an increased risk of cardiometabolic diseases in offsprings born in this period. In contrast, the decreasing birthweight trends after 2008 may reflect some beneficial effects on perinatal morbidity. However, the long-term effect cannot be predicted, as the trend is mostly explained by the shorter pregnancies.</p>

<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Abstract</h3>
<p> <span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec1"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Purpose</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Advanced lung cancer and its treatment serve as a sudden stressful event that profoundly impacts the psychological experience of both the patients and their primary caregiver. This study used dyadic analyses to explore the dyadic effects of social support on benefit finding and whether hope level mediates the patient-caregiver dyads in advanced lung cancer.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec2"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Methods</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">Two hundred ninety-five pairs of patients with advanced lung cancer and primary caregivers completed the Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), the Herth Hope Index (HHI), and the Benefit Finding Scale (BFS). Dyadic analyses were conducted using structural equation modelling based on the actor-partner interdependence mediation model.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec3"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Results</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">The results indicated that for both patients (B = 0.259, 95% CI = 0.135−0.423, <em class="a-plus-plus">P</em> < 0.001) and their primary caregivers (B = 0.596, 95% CI = 0.403−0.838, <em class="a-plus-plus">P</em> < 0.001), hope level mediated the actor effect of social support on benefit finding; social support was positively associated with hope level and further enhanced benefit finding. Regarding partner effects (B = 0.242, 95% CI = 0.119−0.404, <em class="a-plus-plus">P</em> < 0.001), primary caregivers’ social support significantly indirectly affected patients’ benefit finding through patients’ hope level.</p>
<p> <br><span class="a-plus-plus abstract-section id-a-sec4"></span></p>
<h3 class="a-plus-plus">Conclusion</h3>
<p class="a-plus-plus">There is an interaction between social support, hope level, and benefit finding in patients with advanced lung cancer and their primary caregivers. Healthcare professionals ought to be vigilant in recognizing patients and caregivers who are vulnerable, have limited social support, and possess diminished hope levels. At the same time, nurses should provide timely psychological support and counseling to patients and their caregivers, encourage them to actively participate in social activities, and inspire their confidence and hope in life, thus improving their benefit findings.</p>

<p>They are austerity’s children, born after 2010, perhaps now at secondary school – and they account for 3.4 million of Britain’s 4.3 million children in poverty. Most have never known what it is like to be free of poverty. And yet in almost every single year of the past decade, even as their need has been mounting, the government’s support for children has been spiralling downwards, each year more difficult than the year before as, with almost surgical precision, the government has made the already poor even poorer and propelled the number of poor children up by 100,000 a year.</p>

<p><imgsrc border="0" align="left" alt="image">Objectives: </imgsrc></p>
<p>Evidence is scarce on the comparative effectiveness of buprenorphine/naloxone (BUP/NX) and methadone for withdrawal symptoms during the first weeks of treatment in prescription-type opioid use disorder (POUD), in the context of highly potent opioid use. We aim to verify if methadone and BUP/NX may predict withdrawal symptoms during the first 6 weeks of treatment and to explore associations based on fentanyl exposure.</p>
<p>Methods: </p>
<p>The study uses data from OPTIMA, an open-label, 24-week, 2-arm, parallel (methadone, n=133; BUP/NX, n=138), multicenter, pan-Canadian, randomized controlled trial. Participants were aged 18 to 64 years with DSM-5 prescription-type opioid use disorder. Dependent variables included opioid withdrawal symptoms measured with the Clinical Opiate Withdrawal Scale (COWS) at weeks 2, 4, and 6 after treatment initiation. Adjusted linear mixed models were used to study COWS as a function of assigned treatment. Analyses stratified by baseline fentanyl–positive urine drug screen (UDS) status were reported.</p>
<p>Results: </p>
<p>COWS scores decreased from 3.13 at week 2 to 2.56 at week 6. Methadone was associated with lower COWS scores compared to BUP/NX (aβ: −1.02; 95% CI: −1.93; −0.12). In stratified analysis, methadone was associated with lower COWS scores compared to BUP/NX in participants with baseline fentanyl–positive UDS (aβ: −2.26; 95% CI: −3.82; −0.67), but not with baseline fentanyl-negative UDS (aβ: 0.03; 95% CI: −0.94; 0.99).</p>
<p>Conclusions: </p>
<p>Our study showed that methadone is associated with slightly decreased withdrawal symptoms early during treatment compared to BUP/NX only in those exposed to fentanyl. Future studies should verify whether withdrawal symptoms during opioid agonist therapy induction may impact other key outcomes such as opioid use and treatment retention.</p>
<p>Objectifs: </p>
<p>Les données probantes sont rares sur l’efficacité comparative de la buprénorphine/naloxone (BUP/NX) et de la méthadone pour les symptômes de sevrage au cours des premières semaines de traitement des troubles liés à l’usage d’opioïdes de type sur prescription (TUOP), dans le contexte d’une consommation d’opioïdes très puissants. Nous visons ici à vérifier si la méthadone et la BUP/NX peuvent prédire les symptômes de sevrage au cours des 6 premières semaines de traitement et à explorer ces associations basées sur l’exposition au fentanyl.</p>
<p>Méthodes: </p>
<p>L’étude utilise les données d’OPTIMA, une étude parallèle ouverte, contrôlée, randomisée et multicentrique pancanadienne de 24 semaines à deux bras (méthadone n=133; BUP/NX n=138). Les participants étaient âgés de 18 à 64 ans et avaient un diagnostic de TUOP selon le DSM-5. Les variables dépendantes comprenaient les symptômes de sevrage aux opioïdes mesurés avec l’Échelle clinique de sevrage des opiacés (COWS) aux semaines 2, 4 et 6 après le début du traitement. Des modèles mixtes linéaires ajustés ont été utilisés pour étudier les scores de COWS en fonction du traitement assigné. Des analyses stratifiées selon les résultats du dépistage urinaire pour le fentanyl en début d’étude ont été menées.</p>
<p>Résultats: </p>
<p>Les scores COWS ont diminué de 3,13 à la semaine 2 à 2,56 à la semaine 6. La méthadone était associée à des scores COWS inférieurs à ceux de BUP/NX (aβ: −1,02; IC à 95%: −1,93; −0,12). En analyse stratifiée, la methadone était associée à des scores COWS inférieurs à ceux du BUP/NX chez les participants avec un dépistage urinaire positif au fentanyl (aβ: −2,26; IC à 95%: −3,82; −0,67), mais pas parmi ceux avec un dépistage négatif (aβ: 0,03; IC à 95%: −0,94; 0,99).</p>
<p>Conclusion: </p>
<p>Notre étude a montré que la méthadone est associée à une légère diminution des symptômes de sevrage tôt pendant le traitement par rapport au BUP/NX, et ce uniquement chez les personnes exposées au fentanyl. Les études futures devraient déterminer si les symptômes de sevrage pendant l’induction du traitement par agonistes opioïdes peuvent avoir un impact sur d’autres résultats clés tels que la consommation d’opioïdes et la rétention en traitement.</p>

<p><imgsrc border="0" align="left" alt="image">Background </imgsrc></p>
<p>Non-communicable diseases have been rapidly increasing in African countries. We provided updated cancer death patterns in selected African countries over the last two decades.</p>
<p>Methods </p>
<p>We extracted official death certifications and population data from the WHO and the United Nations Population Division databases. We computed country- and sex-specific age-standardized mortality rates per 100 000 person-years for all cancers combined and ten major cancer sites for the periods 2005–2007 and 2015–2017.</p>
<p>Results </p>
<p>Lung cancer ranked first for male cancer mortality in all selected countries in the last available period (with the highest rates in Réunion 24/100 000), except for South Africa where prostate cancer was the leading cause of death (23/100 000). Prostate cancer ranked second in Morocco and Tunisia and third in Mauritius and Réunion. Among Egyptian men, leukemia ranked second (with a stable rate of 4.2/100 000) and bladder cancer third (3.5/100 000). Among women, the leading cancer-related cause of death was breast cancer in all selected countries (with the highest rates in Mauritius 19.6/100 000 in 2015–2017), except for South Africa where uterus cancer ranked first (17/100 000). In the second rank there were colorectal cancer in Tunisia (2/100 000), Réunion (9/100 000) and Mauritius (8/100 000), and leukemia in Egypt (3.2/100 000). Colorectal and pancreas cancer mortality rates increased, while stomach cancer mortality rates declined.</p>
<p>Conclusion </p>
<p>Certified cancer mortality rates are low on a global scale. However, mortality rates from selected screening detectable cancers, as well as from infection-related cancers, are comparatively high, calling for improvements in prevention strategies.</p>

<p><imgsrc border="0" align="left" alt="image">Purpose of review </imgsrc></p>
<p>Controversy remains about the difference in mental health status among children and adolescents between one-child and multichild families in China. Thus, we conducted a meta-analysis of studies comparing mental health status between both groups and explored their potential moderating factors.</p>
<p>Recent findings </p>
<p>Totally, 113 eligible studies encompassing 237 899 participants (one-child families: 83 125; multichild families: 154 774) were included. The pooled SMD of SCL-90 total score was −0.115 [95% confidence interval (95% CI): −0.152; −0.078; I2 = 86.9%]. Specifically, children and adolescents from one-child families exhibited lower scores in terms of somatization (SMD = −0.056; 95% CI: −0.087; −0.026), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (SMD = −0.116; 95% CI: −0.154; −0.079), interpersonal sensitivity (SMD = −0.140; 95% CI: −0.171; −0.109), depression (SMD = −0.123; 95% CI: −0.159; −0.088); anxiety (SMD = −0.121; 95% CI: −0.151; −0.092); phobic anxiety (SMD = −0.124; 95% CI: −0.166; −0.081); paranoid ideation (SMD = −0.040; 95% CI: −0.070; −0.009); and psychoticism (SMD = −0.119; 95% CI: −0.148; −0.089). Study publication year was significantly associated with differences in mental health status between both groups (P = 0.015).</p>
<p>Summary </p>
<p>Children and adolescents from one-child families had better mental health status compared to those from multichild families in China. Future studies should investigate the underlying factors contributing to such mental health differences, and the potential interventions that could address these mental health problems.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<p>Efficient methods for assessing the relative aversiveness of stimuli are sparse and underresearched. Having access to efficient procedures that can identify aversive stimuli would benefit researchers and practitioners alike. Across three experiments, 13 participants helped to pilot, refine, and test two approaches to identifying negative reinforcers. The first experiment presented two conditions, one in which computerized button pressing started or stopped one of two recorded infant cries (or silence, when the control button was selected). Choices were presented either in a modified observing-response procedure (i.e., simultaneous observing) or in a modified progressive-ratio procedure (i.e., committed concurrent progressive ratio; CCPR). Results were favorable though not conclusive on their own. A second experiment, using more distinct stimuli (i.e., one likely aversive, one likely not aversive), replicated the first, and clearer results emerged. Finally, the third experiment tested the stimuli from the second experiment in a CCPR arrangement where sound was terminated contingent on responding and idiosyncratic negative reinforcement hierarchies emerged. The utility of these two procedures is discussed, and future work that addresses the limitations is outlined.</p>

<h2>Abstract</h2>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>Positive development plays an important role in youth when dealing with stressful circumstances. According to the resource dilution theory, adolescents with or without siblings may receive different levels of emotional and material resources from their parents. The purpose of this study is to examine the association between the positive development of adolescents in China today with their family characteristics such as the number of siblings.</p>
<h2>Methods</h2>
<p>A total of 2072 junior high and senior high school students (13 to 18 years old) in Chengdu, Sichuan, China, were investigated by cluster sampling. The Chinese Positive Youth Development scales (CPYDs) were used to measure positive youth development. The generalized linear model was used to explore the relationships among the number of siblings, parent–child relationships and positive youth development.</p>
<h2>Results</h2>
<p>Adolescents from only-child families had better performance on positive development (H = 21.87, <i>P</i> < 0.001) and better relationships with parents (H = 15.1, <i>P</i> < 0.05). The positive development of male and female adolescents does not significantly differ in families with different numbers of siblings. The generalized linear model showed that a positive parent–child relationship is positively correlated with adolescent positive development (<i>P</i> < 0.05).</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Positive youth development is not only associated with the number of siblings but also other modifiable familial factors. The positive relationship between parents and adolescents is of great practical value in daily life to improve youth development, and this might be the real lesson the resource dilution theory tells.</p>

<p><imgsrc border="0" align="left" alt="image">The associations between social support and stress with internalizing symptoms (depressive symptoms and hopelessness) and hazardous drinking were tested in an inpatient sample of suicidal military personnel. Baseline data from a randomized clinical trial were analyzed. Different sources of support and stressors in the social context of military personnel were differentially linked to internalizing symptoms and hazardous drinking. In the full sample (n = 192), family and nonfamily support were both inversely associated with internalizing symptoms but not hazardous drinking. Family stress was positively associated with internalizing symptoms. In a subsample of service members who had a history of deployment (n = 98), postdeployment social support was protective against internalizing symptoms, whereas deployment harassment was associated with increased odds of hazardous drinking. Results underscore the need for assessment of various dimensions of social support and stress to guide case formulation and optimize strategies to support patients’ mental well-being and adaptive coping.</imgsrc></p>

Ninety-five percent of the patients reported being satisfied with the experience, and 66% preferred it to traditional laboratory testing. The most commonly reported reason for preferring the test was the short amount of time it took to receive results. However, insurance reimbursed less than 30% of what was billed for the POC tests. Low insurance reimbursement rates could be a barrier to implementation long-term financial sustainability of POC STI testing.</imgsrc></p>
