The North American Antiepileptic Drug Pregnancy Registry: A Canadian Subgroup Analysis.

The North American AED Pregnancy Registry (NAAPR) provides crucial data for understanding the risks of antiepileptic drug (AED) exposure in pregnancy. This study aims to quantify the Canadian contribution to NAAPR and compare AED usage in pregnancy in Canada and the USA. Enrollment rate ratios (ERR) to NAAPR, adjusted for the populations of women of childbearing age, were calculated for the USA, Canada, and for the different Canadian provinces. Methods of enrollment to NAAPR and AED usage were compared between the two countries using chi-squared tests. Between 1997 and 2019, 10,215 pregnant women enrolled into NAAPR: 4.1% were Canadian (n = 432, ERR = 0.39, CI95% = 0.35-0.43). Within Canada, no patients were enrolled from the three northern territories or from Prince Edward Island. While fewer patients than expected enrolled from Quebec (ERR = 0.35, CI95% = 0.19-0.58), Nova Scotia had the highest enrollment rate (ERR = 1.55; CI95% = 0.66-3.11). Compared with their American peers, Canadians were less likely to have been enrolled by their healthcare provider and more likely to have been enrolled via social media (p < 0.01). Canadian women were more likely to be taking carbamazepine (24% vs. 15%; p < 0.01) or valproic acid (8% vs. 4%; p < 0.01). The proportion of Canadian enrollees into NAAPR was less than expected based on the relative population size of Canadian women of reproductive age. Greater Canadian enrollment to NAAPR would contribute to ongoing worldwide efforts in assessing the risks of AEDs use in pregnant women and help quantify rates of AED usage, major congenital malformations, and access to subspecialized epilepsy care within Canada.

Mediación editorial y valor agregado: La obra de Jaime Saenz desde las redes sociales del pasado

This article offers a critical study of the place that Jaime Saenz occupies within the broader context of translated literatures to shed light on the construction of his image as a writer both in Bolivia and in the countries in which he has been translated. How is Saenz's work viewed from a global perspective? I propose a methodology that analyzes and visualizes web media to study Saenz's position vis-à-vis his Bolivian and Latin American peers within the local and global mediation scene. I read Saenz's work through a web media map that visualizes him diachronically within a framework that considers his production and reception by publishers, editors, translators, literary agents, critics and sponsors, in national and international contexts. In this article I focus on showing the editorial mediation processes of Saenz's work comparatively and in relation not only to literature, but to the broader cultural field, which includes the social sciences and audiovisual arts. The image of a writer that results from this process (dark, accursed, esoteric, and associated with a mystical Andean spirituality) adds symbolic value and prestige to the author. A web media analysis helps to visualize how this added value was created over time and within its socio-political contexts.

Everybody Does It: The Pragmatics and Perceptions of International Chinese Graduate Students and their American Peers Regarding Gossip

Integrating natural observation, interviews, and quantitative analysis, we used a mixed design to compare the socio-linguistic judgments of international Chinese students at a private University on the East Coast of the United States (US) with those of their native English-speaking peers regarding a critical incident involving gossip. Ninety-two participants evaluated alternative sociolinguistic strategies offered in addressing the incident on semantic differential scales. Judgments by each group regarding four alternative responses were surveyed and compared. Twenty participants, ten from each group, participated in semi-structured interviews. Themes were developed through a recursive process: interpretations were validated by a bilingual bicultural expert. Several distinctions in judgments emerged. The most preferred alternative to dealing with a group gossiping about a friend for Americans was to say honestly that it made them uncomfortable while Chinese participants preferred requesting a change in topic. Such contrasts were found to be representative of underlying sociocultural values for each group. Intercultural pragmatic distinctions such as these could lead to pragmatic failure and have the potential to interfere with the development of intercultural friendship among the members of the two groups. Implications for pedagogy and developing cross-cultural insight are offered.

Regional variation in growth status. The Peruvian health and optimist growth study.

This study aims to (1) investigate differences in weight, body mass index (BMI), and waist circumference (WC) among Peruvian children and adolescents living in three areas located at different altitudes; (2) compare age- and sex-specific height, weight, and BMI within each site with US reference data. We sampled 8753 subjects (4130 boys), aged 4 to 17 years from sea level, rainforest, and high-altitude. Height, weight, and WC were measured and BMI was calculated. Analysis of variance was used to compare variables across geographic regions, and the Hoff and Blackburn procedure was used to compare the Peruvian results with US reference data. Participants living at sea level were taller, heavier, had greater BMI and WC relative to those living at high-altitude and in the rainforest. Peruvian schoolchildren of both sexes from the three geographical areas were shorter and lighter than their American peers. Boys and girls living in the rainforest and at high-altitude had lower BMI, whereas WC values of American schoolchildren are higher than those of the Peruvian children by age and gender. Peruvians living at different altitudes differ in their growth indicators (height, weight, BMI, and WC), with significant differences between those living at sea level relative to their peers from other regions. Further, Peruvian schoolchildren of both sexes from the three geographical areas significantly differ from their US counterparts.

Cognitive mediators of US-China differences in early symbolic arithmetic.

Chinese children routinely outperform American peers in standardized tests of mathematics knowledge. To examine mediators of this effect, 95 Chinese and US 5-year-olds completed a test of overall symbolic arithmetic, an IQ subtest, and three tests each of symbolic and non-symbolic numerical magnitude knowledge (magnitude comparison, approximate addition, and number-line estimation). Overall Chinese children performed better in symbolic arithmetic than US children, and all measures of IQ and number knowledge predicted overall symbolic arithmetic. Chinese children were more accurate than US peers in symbolic numerical magnitude comparison, symbolic approximate addition, and both symbolic and non-symbolic number-line estimation; Chinese and U.S. children did not differ in IQ and non-symbolic magnitude comparison and approximate addition. A substantial amount of the nationality difference in overall symbolic arithmetic was mediated by performance on the symbolic and number-line tests.

Afropolitanist Return and Circulation

In June 2020, Congolese-born activist Mwazulu Diyabanza and five others attempted to remove a nineteenth-century Chadian funeral post from the Musée du Quai Branly—Jacques Chirac. Diyabanza would go on to enact this type of protest in two more European museums before the end of the year. He and his fellow protestors proclaimed a collective European and North American complicity and were tried by French courts for group theft of an object of cultural heritage. As the reader likely knows, the cultural heritage here in question was France's, whose appeal for the items in part mirrors Amanda M. Maples's Afropolitanist considerations in her First Word. These items have indeed been resocialized, but should at the very least be accessible to their communities of origin as they speak to different geographies in multiple languages (Maples 2020).The year 2020 and its deluge of surprises left us with small consolations: much of the African continent emerged from the COVID epidemic relatively unscathed. However, the virus' ramifications have already begun affecting sub-Saharan African countries, spurring legitimate concerns about vaccine equity. These dynamics undoubtedly mirror the stakes and discourse that affect sub-Saharan African countries and cultural institutions and only strengthen the case for financial support. Dr. Memel Kassi notes the disparity in the circulation of artwork among the United States, Europe, and the African continent in her contribution to this discussion, and I join her in a call for financial commitments from North American institutions. A model for comanagement, in the form of a fixed-term rental deposit, complements Maples's call for North American museums to properly investigate provenance and inform the placement of these works of art.However, this task cannot be completed unilaterally. Much of the cataloguing and provenance research, the investigations into cultural heritage and exercises that advance institutional capabilities in North American and European institutions, remains inaccessible to the majority of museum professionals on the African continent. Adopting a significant “role in a politics of cultural action” is an exercise that in and of itself demands boundless adaptability. Efforts such as the controversial Humboldt Museum's “Humboldt Lab Tanzania,” with support from TURN (The Fund for Artistic Cooperation between Germany and African Countries), engaged scholars in the sites of origin of selected pieces and the store rooms for the very sites where the artifacts are held. Such initiatives, though still insufficient, are essential to active cultural reengagement around these very artifacts.I also echo Christine Mullen Kreamer's reflection on the distinctions between process and outcome, and the manners in which both can be useful material exercises for developing new dynamics of equity between North American and African institutions. Given these histories of exclusion and the concerns around ensuring that artifact return follows and instills “sustainable development,” the hazards—legal, geopolitical, financial, emotional—demand novel modes of reasoning across institutions and geographies. Following Kreamer's question and reiterating Strother's own, we must ask how North American institutions can work toward outcomes that won't replicate the very imbalanced hierarchies of power that have produced the current complications around assessing the merits of return.North American institutional partnerships cannot be limited to North American peers. As Maples measuredly points out, the burden of devising best practice guidelines cannot be shouldered by one institution alone. The same logic extends continentally. Travel and knowledge-sharing must be made active and transparent and cannot exclude the very professionals who will themselves ensure conservation and curation for the objects that will be repatriated or circulated.We must not forget, ultimately, that properly accounting for the placement of African artwork is a mutually beneficial gesture in addition to an ethical obligation, one that will result in stronger relationships between African and North American museums. African institutions will hopefully only gain in prominence, agency, and influence in the future, bringing Amadou Mahtar M'Bow's 2000 appeal to fruition. Construction will soon begin for the Edo Museum of West African Art (EMOWAA) on the very site of the former Benin Palace. It is set to house the Benin Bronzes (on loan) after a fifty-year dream of restitution, embodying an Afropolitan repatriation of agency (Maples 2020). We are best served by cultivating a future where the most prominent bastions of African cultural heritage can be safely and conscientiously cherished from both sides of the Atlantic.

Are we on the right track? an update to Lyytinen et al.’s commentary on why the old world cannot publish

ABSTRACT In a thought-provoking paper published in EJIS more than a decade ago, Lyytinen and colleagues asked the question, why does the “old world” perform poorly in high academic impact publishing? This triggered a lively debate on the epistemological and methodological traditions, preferences, and research practices of Europeans versus North Americans that has lasted until today. Is it still true, we asked ourselves, that European scholars generate less academic impact than their North American colleagues? Is the European research context indeed disadvantageous for developing high academic impact research? In this paper, we set out to explore these questions by analysing the Google Scholar profiles of 1713 IS researchers from all over the world. Our findings show that Northern and Western European scholars no longer seem to differ significantly from their North American peers, even though the different research contexts still exercise a certain level of influence. However, is this a development the “old world” desires? We provide an assessment and some suggestions for the future of European IS research.

The Americanization of Karen Refugee Youth: Exploring Attitudes Toward and Use of Methamphetamine.

Drug use among refugee populations is a concerning trend in many urban American cities. For instance, Omaha, Nebraska is home to an estimated 7,000 refugees from Myanmar, with at least 75% of those being Karen refugees. The purpose of this paper is to explore methamphetamine use among Karen adolescents in Omaha and to examine whether Karen youth bring their drug use habits with them from refugee camps or if they learn about drugs from their American peers. Two focus groups of Karen youth and two focus groups of Karen parents were conducted to examine methamphetamine use among this population. Findings suggest, like most youth, the Karen children were reluctant to disclose their own use of drugs, but they did see the use of methamphetamine and other drugs in their schools. It appears drug use among the Karen youth is acquired during the "Americanization" of these children in Omaha schools.

899-P: Body Composition and Cardiometabolic Risk in South Asian Adolescents Compared with African American and White Peers

Background: South Asian (SA) adults have greater cardiometabolic risk (CMR) at lower BMI compared to White (W) and African American (AA) ancestry groups, thought to be due to increased visceral fat (VFAT). Few studies have examined adolescents for early ancestry differences. Objective: Examine ancestry-related differences in body composition and CMR factors in SA, AA, and W youth. Methods: SA, AA and W youth, 12-21 y, BMI ≥ 80%ile (or ≥23kg/m2 if ≥18y) had pubertal staging (PUB), whole body DXA, and measurement of CMR factors, including fasting metabolic labs. Insulin and glucose were used to calculate HOMA-IR. ANOVA or Kruskal Wallis compared groups, and linear regression adjusted for covariates (age, sex, PUB, BMI-Z) and analyzed interaction by group. Results: Participants (34 SA, 23 AA, 44 W) were similar in sex and PUB, but SA were older [median (IQR) 20.2y (18.9, 21.2)] and AA had higher BMI [37.0 kg/m2 (32.7, 39.8)] compared to SA [28.6 (25.7, 30.6)] and W [27.7 (15.2, 32.5)]. Lipid panel, glucose, BP, and VFAT were similar among groups. Insulin [SA 15.0 µIU/mL (10.2, 25.1); AA 19.3 (15.4, 33.9); W 10.9 (7.1, 16.4), p=0.0005] and HOMA-IR [SA 3.5 (2.2, 5.6); AA 4.2 (3.4, 7.2); W 2.5 (1.5, 3.4), p=0.0005] were higher in SA and AA compared to W. In adjusted models: SA and W had greater increases in VFAT with increasing BMI-Z (SA*BMI-Z p=0.006; W*BMI-Z p&amp;lt;0.0005) and with increasing total body fat (BF) (SA*BF p=0.007; W*BF p&amp;lt;0.0005) compared to AA. SA had higher fasting insulin [β 6.45, p=0.01] and HOMA-IR [β 1.56, p=0.009] compared to W, even after adjusting for BF (p=0.004) or VFAT (p=0.009). Conclusion: SA and W adolescents had greater increases in VFAT with increasing BMI-Z and with increasing BF, compared to AA. For a given BMI-Z, SA youth had higher HOMA-IR than W, even after adjustment for BF or VFAT. Further mechanistic studies are needed to understand the etiology of this higher insulin resistance in SA youth. Disclosure J. A. Manfredo: None. N. S. Anand: None. B. S. Zemel: None. A.

Scientific knowledge production and economic catching-up: an empirical analysis

This paper aims to investigate the relationship between the production of scientific knowledge and level of income for a panel of 56 countries during the period 1996–2015. We argue that the accumulation of scientific knowledge is a key factor for the enhancement of educational and technological capabilities within an economy, and hence may have a positive impact on GDP per capita levels. We use academic publications in refereed journals (in all areas and specifically in engineering) as a proxy of scientific performance. As regards the impacts of scientific performance, we distinguish between high- and middle-income countries and, among the latter, between Asian and Latin America. The results show that academic publications are consistently and positively correlated with income per capita, for both middle and high-income countries. We also find non-linear effects in both groups. Those effects are lower for middle-income countries suggesting the presence of decreasing returns on academic performance. Finally, while Asian countries benefited from specialization in engineering research, no such effects were found for their Latin American peers.

Are need for affect and cognition culture dependent? Implications for global public health campaigns: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundCultural differences in affective and cognitive intrinsic motivation could pose challenges for global public health campaigns, which use cognitive or affective goals to evoke desired attitudes and proactive health-promoting actions. This study aimed to identify cross-cultural differences in affective and cognitive intrinsic motivation and discuss the potential value of this information for public health promotion.MethodsA cross-sectional survey using cross-culturally validated need for affect (NFA) and need for cognition (NFC) scales was carried out among 1166 Chinese participants, and the results were compared with published data from 980 American participants. Additionally, we assessed a highly prevalent symbolic geriatric health condition, hearing loss, in 500 Chinese community-dwelling seniors. The Chinese NFA scale was developed following the translation-back translation procedure, and the psychometric evaluation was performed by applying confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), correlation analysis and multigroup invariance test. MANOVA and Hedge’s g statistic were employed to compare the NFA and NFC levels between individuals from different countries and between Chinese seniors with and without hearing loss. The relation of early hearing intervention intention to NFA and NFC was also explored in the Chinese sample.ResultsA basic two-factor model of NFA adequately fit the sample data from Chinese and American cultures. The questionnaire demonstrated reasonable invariance of the factor structure and factor loadings across the groups. Those in the primary Chinese sample had lower NFA and NFC than their American peers. This difference held in the senior sample. Moreover, Chinese seniors with hearing loss had even lower NFA and NFC than those without hearing loss. Their early hearing intervention intention was low but was associated with intrinsic motivation.ConclusionsThe Need for Affect (NFA) construct may be generalized beyond its Western origins. There was a general lack of affective and cognitive intrinsic motivation in Chinese individuals, particularly in seniors with hearing loss, compared with their American peers. These differences point to a potential challenge in framing effective messages for some cultures in the geriatric public health domain. Ideally, recognizing and understanding this challenge will inspire the consideration of novel persuasive strategies for these audiences.

National Identity and Integration Challenges of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) Recipients

Approximately 650,000 children and young adults currently reside in the United States with Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) status, providing them with temporary legal status to reside in the country. We explored the phenomenon of how five DACA recipients experienced their national identities and how it contributed to their acculturation patterns using in-depth semi-structured interviews. We interpreted their comments through the theoretical lens of Berry’s (1997) acculturation theory and Edensor’s (2002) emphasis on everyday life as a critical factor of national identity. Although the participants had the desire to remain in the United States and be a part of U.S. culture, everyday realities of discrimination, and challenges accomplishing common life tasks taken for granted by American peers (getting a driver’s license, travelling, working, obtaining financial aid for higher education) kept the participants from fully integrating into American society and gaining a sense of belonging.

Lebanese adolescents' expectations about social inclusion of peers in intergroup contexts.

This study examined the role of group norms, group identity, age, contact, and stereotypes on youths' decisions to include a peer in an intergroup context portraying Lebanese and American adolescents. Lebanese participants (N=275), ages 12 and 16years, were surveyed about expectations for inclusion of an out-group target with similar interests or an in-group target with different interests into their own Lebanese group or another American group. Findings indicated participants focused on shared interests, rather than national identity, when making inclusion decisions for either group and group norms mattered. Older participants expected American peers to be less inclusive towards an out-group peer. Direct contact predicted inclusivity of out-group American peers into one's own Lebanese group, and indirect media-based contact predicted expectations for inclusivity into an American out-group. Findings have implications for interventions aimed at improving cross-national friendships which, in turn, have the potential to reduce prejudicial attitudes.

HBCU undergraduate students’ perceived stress management and coping skills

College students in U.S. higher education institutions experience stress and anxiety. The psychological problems students encounter are roadblocks to college success. Due to historical and socio-economic factors, minority students are more susceptible to stress and psychological needs compared to their White American peers. This research focuses on African American students’ perceived stress and management. Fourteen African American students from an HBCU (historically Black colleges and university) have participated in the study. The perceived stress and coping strategies of African American students, as well as social and emotional support needed in dealing with stress, and stress caused by societal factors, are identified and discussed. More research needs to be conducted on how to prevent, detect, and treat mental health problems of college students, especially among minority college students.

Racial disparities in adolescent sleep duration: Physical activity as a protective factor.

Objectives: Short sleep duration compromises adolescents' functioning across many domains, yet risk for short sleep is not evenly distributed among youth in the United States. Significant Black-White disparities in sleep duration have been observed, with Black/African American youth on average sleeping fewer minutes per night than their White/European American peers. However, not all Black adolescents have short sleep, and identification of moderators of effects, including protective and vulnerability factors in the association between race/ethnicity and sleep duration, is warranted. We examined whether engagement in physical activity attenuates the gap in sleep duration between Black and White teenagers. Method: A sample of 246 adolescents (Mage = 15.79 years; 32.9% Black, 67.1% White) reported on their physical activity and participated in 1 week of at-home actigraphic sleep assessment, which was used to derive sleep duration (minutes scored as asleep from sleep onset to wake time). Results: At higher levels of physical activity, relatively long sleep duration was observed for all youth regardless of their race/ethnicity. However, at lower levels of physical activity, an association emerged between race and sleep minutes, illustrating that youth most at risk for shorter sleep were Black adolescents with lower physical activity. Conclusions: Findings suggest that for Black adolescents, physical activity is a protective factor against short sleep duration and, conversely, low physical activity is a vulnerability factor.

Characterizing Competing Tensions in Black Immigrant Literacies: Beyond Partial Representations of Success

AbstractIn this study, we problematize the notion that Black immigrant youth be designated as high achieving or new model minority when comparing their literate success with that of their Black American peers. We draw from ideological and autonomous views regarding literacies while recognizing notions such as languaging informed by personhood, monoglossic norms, heteroglossic perspectives, and raciolinguistic ideologies, which come to bear on the literacies of Black immigrant youth. Using these lenses, we examined Black immigrant literacy from both qualitative and quantitative paradigms. Quantitative findings revealed that native English‐speaking Black immigrant youth had significantly higher scores on reading literacy than native English‐speaking Black American youth on the Programme for International Student Assessment. Among all Black students in 2009, native English speakers outperformed non‐native English speakers. However, superior reading literacy performance among native English speakers was not as obvious in 2015 as was observed in 2009. In 2015, non‐native English speakers outperformed native English speakers among Black immigrants, whereas native English speakers had higher scores than non‐native English speakers on reading literacy among Black Americans. Qualitative findings showed that (a) literate success in one Black immigrant youth’s (D’Arcy) literacy practices was influenced by multilingualism as both an asset and a deficit; (b) dialectal difference was perceived as language interference and as binary (i.e., legitimate vs. nonlegitimate); (c) there was persistent unacceptability of D’Arcy’s language, accent, and certain literacies across home and school; (d) expectations about D’Arcy’s racial literate identity remained steeped in assumptions regarding racialized language and raciolinguistic ideology; and (e) teacher interventions revealed tensions across (racio)linguistic ideologies. Implications for theory, research, policy, and practice are provided.

Asian international students’ help-seeking intentions and behavior in American Postsecondary Institutions

While the number of Asian international students has increased in postsecondary institutions in the United States over the last two decades, unlike their American peers, these students were reported to have more severe mental health issues with less help-seeking intentions and behavior. This study drew the national data collected by American College Health Association-National College Health Assessment (ACHA-NCHA) from 2011 to 2014 to examine how various factors were associated with help-seeking intentions and behavior among Asian International Students (AIS) in the U.S. After case-wise deletion of missing data, the dataset used in regression analyses included 97,259 college students, including 2999 AISs, who were randomly drawn within the 62 participated postsecondary institutions. The study performed a series of logistic regression with complex survey design that controlled for institutional clustering effects to analyze the relationship between various factors and AISs’ help-seeking intentions and behavior. The results showed that AIS utilized significantly less services and were less willing to seek mental health services than not only American domestic students but also other international students. Variables related to institutional characteristics, demographic information, academic status, and health conditions were found to significantly influence AISs’ help-seeking intentions and behavior. College mental health professionals and university stakeholders need to pay more attention to the mental health needs of AIS. Implications for college mental health professionals and university stakeholders are discussed.

Regulators without borders? Latin American labour inspectors in transnational context

AbstractThe domestic bases of trans‐governmental regulatory networks are controversial. While rational choice accounts expect insecure regulators to join larger networks that promise to bolster and justify their authority back home, public interest accounts expect independent regulators to join smaller networks populated by like‐minded and informative peers. Are regulatory networks more likely to attract self‐aggrandizing servants of insecure agencies or public‐spirited representatives of their independent counterparts? What are the implications for network size and orientation? I address these questions by examining the regulators who administer labour and employment law in Latin America and find that, in keeping with the public interest account, they are more likely to go abroad when they are independent bureaucrats than when they are vulnerable to political pressure, and less likely to join larger networks of powerful allies than to teach and learn from their Iberian and Latin American peers. The results suggest that trans‐governmental networks rest on Weberian foundations – themselves mediated by linguistic, cultural, and historical factors – that contribute to the reproduction of a multipolar regulatory world.

Crazy Rich Chinese? A Mixed-Methods Examination of Perceived Stereotypes and Associated Psychosocial Adaptation Challenges among Chinese International Students in the United States.

Prior research observes associations between race-based stressors (e.g. stereotypes) and the compromised psychological and sociocultural adaptation of international students. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design (196 survey responses and 51 in-depth interviews), this study examined stereotypes perceived by Chinese students arriving on US college campuses after 2010, their interpretations of the new stereotypes, and the associated psychosocial adaptation challenges they had to navigate. Our findings suggested multiple dimensions of the stereotypes this recent wave of Chinese students perceived from their American peers, including stereotypes pertinent to their financial background (frequency effect sizes=37.6% and 51% for quantitative and qualitative results, respectively), academic abilities (20.1% and 13.7%), personality characteristics (16.5% and 19.6%), and social attitudes and behaviors (12.9% and 9.8%). Further, this study observed that the new, prevalent stereotypes (e.g. being wealthy) might foster intergroup tension and pit Chinese students against their American peers and that some Chinese students experienced psychological issues (e.g. lower levels of collective self-esteem and feelings of shame) due to the stereotypes of wealth-flaunting Chinese students. This study contributes uniquely to the literature by unpacking the new stereotypes using a mixed-methods design and points to important practical implications for university services.
