Reporting guidelines for traditional Chinese medicine could be improved: a cross-sectional study

ObjectivesThe aim of this study is to identify available reporting guidelines for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), delineate their fundamental characteristics, assess the scientific rigor of their development process, and evaluate their dissemination. Study Design and SettingA search was conducted in Medline (via PubMed), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), SinoMed, WANFANG DATA, and the EQUATOR Network to identify TCM reporting guidelines. A preprepared Excel database was used to extract information on the basic characteristics, development process, and dissemination information. The development process quality of TCM reporting guidelines was assessed by evaluating their compliance with the Guidance for Developers of Health Research Reporting Guidelines (GDHRRG). The extent of dissemination of these guidelines was analyzed by examining the number of citations received. ResultsA total of 26 reporting guidelines for TCM were obtained from 20 academic journals, with 61.5% of them published in English journals. Among the guidelines, 14 (53.8%) were registered in the EQUATOR Network. On average, the compliance rate of GDHRRG guidelines was reported to be 63.3% ranging from 22.2% to 94.4%. Three steps showed poor compliance, namely guideline endorsement (23.1%), translated guidelines (19.2%), and developing a publication strategy (19.2%). Furthermore, the compliance rate of GDHRRG guidelines published in English journals was higher than that in Chinese journals. In terms of the dissemination, 15.4% of the guidelines had been cited over 100 times, while 73.1% had been cited less than 50 times. ConclusionThe development of TCM reporting guidelines still has limitations in terms of regarding scientific rigor and follow-up dissemination. Therefore, it is important to ensure adherence to the scientific process in the development of TCM reporting guidelines and to strengthen their promotion, dissemination, and implementation.

Research hot spots and trends of keratoconus in China: a bibliometric analysis

Objective: To review the studies related to keratoconus in China, investigate research hotspots and development trends in this field, and provide reference for future research. Methods: This is a bibliometrics study. The relevant literature written in Chinese was retrieved from the WanFang DATA and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, English articles were collected from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Searched for journal articles related to keratoconus VOSviewer software, CiteSpace, and Bibliometrix in the R language were employed to create the knowledge map. The analysis encompassed the distribution of published journals, research collaboration networks of countries/regions, institutions, and authors. Additionally, core authors, high-frequency keyword co-occurrence, keyword topic maps, and keyword emergence time ranking were examined. Results: The study ultimately included 1 100 Chinese articles and 668 English articles. Chinese literature and English literature began to increase in 1997 and 2009, respectively, indicating that the field is currently in a developmental stage. The publications involved 244 Chinese journals and 150 English journals, predominantly in the field of ophthalmology. The United States collaborated the most with China, contributing to 123 articles, followed by other countries such as the United Kingdom and Switzerland. Chinese literature and English literature involved 552 and 883 institutions, respectively. The institution with the highest number of Chinese literature publications was the Eye Institute of Shandong First Medical University (63 papers), while Wenzhou Medical University had the highest number of English literature publications (91 papers). Chinese literature involved 2 435 authors, and English literature involved 2 073 authors. The largest collaboration cluster in Chinese literature was formed by the teams of Xie Lixin and Shi Weiyun, while the Gao Hua team formed the largest cluster in English literature. However, collaboration between authors was primarily limited to within each team. A total of 622 and 1 611 keywords were extracted from Chinese and English literature, respectively. The node centrality of the four Chinese keywords, "keratoconus", "cornea", "corneal transplantation" and "myopia" as well as the three English keywords, "keratoconus", "collagen cross-linking" and "penetrating keratoplasty" was greater than 0.1. "Collagen", "riboflavin", "corneal transplantation" and "ultraviolet A" were identified as common core hotspots and important research topics in Chinese and English literature on keratoconus. Keyword emergence analysis indicated that the keywords with the highest intensity of emergence in Chinese and English literature were "myopia" (13.54) and "penetrating keratoplasty" (9.99), respectively. The longest emergence time was observed for "contact lenses" (1995-2006) and "penetrating keratoplasty" (2003-2014). Conclusions: At present, research on keratoconus in China is on the rise, with research hotspots including pathogenesis, various new surgical methods, and improvement in quality of life. The future research trend mainly focuses on early diagnosis and screening methods, artificial intelligence, biomechanical examination, subclinical keratoconus, and small incision lenticule extraction.

Moral sensitivity of nursing students: a systematic review

BackgroundMoral sensitivity is an essential criterion for nurses' professional competence, and it is effective in professional performance and the development of communication between nurse and patient. According to several definitions of moral sensitivity in nursing texts, each of them has examined moral sensitivity from a different aspect, and there are still uncertainties in the field of moral sensitivity of nursing students. Therefore, to clarify the characteristics and dimensions of the concept of moral sensitivity of nursing students, we used the method of concept analysis.GoalTo clarify and define moral sensitivity of nursing students.MethodFor this systematic review, ten databases (PubMed, Scopus, Science Direct, Emerald, Springer, Proquest (open access), ERIC, SID, Irandoc, Magiran) were searched. They were published between 1990 and 2020. Inclusion criteria were having access to the full text of the article, types of studies (quantitative, qualitative, concept analysis, systematic review, and meta-analysis) related to the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of nursing students' moral sensitivity, medical students' moral sensitivity and Ethics education, articles being published in scientific journals in English or Persian language, texts published in non-peer-reviewed journals and letters to the editor were excluded from the data analysis. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool 2018 and Prisma ScR Checklist 2020. Rodger's evolutionary concept analysis was used to conduct this study.ResultsFrom 361 articles, 38 were included. The results showed moral sensitivity in nursing students improves through specialized ethical knowledge and presence in educational and professional settings. The attributes consist of honest and benevolent communication, compassionate professional practice, intuitive perceiving moral challenges, awareness of the responsibilities and moral consequences of decisions. The moral sensitivity of nursing students improves the quality of nursing care and the effective management of ethical challenges.ConclusionResults can help develop nursing education theories and programs, design appropriate tools to evaluate this concept, and increase the quality of care and management of moral challenges in society and health systems.LimitationThis research has only examined Persian and English texts; also, accessing all the international databases was impossible, and more investigation in this field is required.

A systematic review of parental burnout and related factors among parents

BackgroundParenting is both a complex and stressful endeavor, so parents sometimes experience parenting burnout. The main objective of this study was to provide an overview of factors related to general parental burnout (PB) among parents with at least one child based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST).MethodsPubMed, Web of Science, EBSCO, CNKI and WanFang were systematically searched for studies published from 2010 to July 2023 for peer-reviewed articles using keywords extracted from Medical Subject Headings such as “parenting”, “parental”, “burnout”, “psychological burnout”, “burn-out syndrome”. Studies were included if they described associations between factors and PB among parents of children aged 0-18 years old in the general population, and published in an English or Chinese language peer-reviewed journal. The Quality Assessment Tool for Studies with Diverse Designs (QATSDD) was employed to assess the risk of bias of included studies.ResultsOf 2037 articles, 26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Based on the Ecological Systems Theory (EST), we found that microsystem-individual factors such as gender, educational level, income, parental personality, internalization of maternal parental motivation, unmitigated communion, self-compassion and concern for others, alexithymia, anxiety and depressive symptoms, parental perfectionism, resilience, low self-esteem and high need for control, mother's attachment style were identified as being associated with parenting burnout. Mesosystem-interpersonal factors involve parent-child relationship and marital satisfaction. The exosystem-organizational or community factors include the number of children in the household, neighborhood and the number of hours spent with children, child's illness, child's behavior problems and social support. The macrosystem-society/policy or culture factors are mainly personal values and cultural values.ConclusionsThis systematic review found several factors that have been investigated in relation to PB. However, the majority of the factors were reported by one or two studies often implementing a cross-sectional design. Nevertheless, we still recommend that health policymakers and administrators relieve parenting burnout among parents with children by adjusting these modifiable factors.

Implementation of Lean Manufacturing Methodology and Its Application: A Literature Review

This study aims to investigate and analyze several previous works of relevant literature on the Lean Manufacturing technique in international journals. The methodology used to review the previous studies was carried out through a survey based on descriptive, qualitative, and bibliographical surveys in International Journal with restriction to the period of publication from 2017 – 2022 published on databases and electronic journals in English with the scope to examine and analyze in-depth the extent to which literature used to discuss results in the selected papers of applying the Lean Manufacturing technique in several case studies. After conducting a survey, only thirty-three articles were found with the theme of the application of Lean Manufacturing and its technique in manufacturing companies. Twenty-one techniques/tools of Lean Manufacturing were found problem-solving for waste time elimination, reducing process cycle times, and implementing process improvement. It is concluded that the most used methodology in waste reduction is Value Stream Mapping.

Teaching natural sciences through English for the development of creative activity

Relevance. The relevance of this study lies in the problem of developing the creative abilities of students of pedagogical universities at the level of integrated natural sciences teaching using English, which will allow them to develop their professional competencies at a high level.Purpose. The purpose of the study is to formulate a model for the development of creative abilities of future teachers based on integrated learning in the framework of natural disciplines using the English language.Methodology. The leading techniques for the study of this problem were the tests developed by N.P. Fetiskin, V.V. Kozlov, G.M. Manuilov to assess the degree of the creative potential of a person on a par with its implementation to demonstrate their skills at a high pedagogical level and create adapted conditions for cognitive and active work in the classroom with their future students, using the creative component. This component is responsible for many factors at the personality level of the future teacher, along with the ability to organise and conduct high-quality classes in natural subjects in English at the level of integrated learning, with a competent individual approach and a full-fledged discussion.Results. The identified data enabled the creation of a model for organising the development of creative activity among future teachers during integrated lessons in natural sciences using English. This contributes to the deepening of knowledge in the areas under study with the accompanying substantial opportunities for creative development by including the examination of international thematic journals in English in the educational process, watching specialised integrated popular-science documentaries.Conclusions. The results improve the understanding of the target area of the integrated lesson in the scientific and practical sphere on the investigation of natural phenomena and develops an understanding of the importance of relationships in life and a value attitude to nature, which determines its practical importance for the field of education.

An Exploratory Perspective on Morocco’s Migration Policies

Without doubt Morocco has been transformed from a country of transit into a country of residence for sub-Saharan migrants. Their integration into Morocco’s social fabric has been a priority for different Moroccan governments presided over by King Mohammed VI as part of an assimilationist discourse that responds to the social, cultural and religious diversity of Morocco. In signing international agreements and treaties on the basic human rights and integration of migrants, since 2000 Morocco has been integrating migrants from sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East socially, economically and politically. This integration is intended to bridge migrants’ aspirations and Morocco’s culture, social welfare, market and politics. Indeed, continuous migration is altering contemporary Moroccan society as well as the very exemplary way in which the successive Moroccan governments presided by their King have legally confronted such an issue. This exploratory review article methodologically reviewed articles published by academic journals in English and French while foregrounding the main themes of the recent Moroccan experience and policies with regard to migration. It also explores how Morocco reformed its policies to deal with undocumented migrants and how Morocco has changed axiomatic and formulaic perceptions of sub-Saharan migration. The findings from this study pointed out that Morocco’s experience with the regularisation of undocumented migrants has been approached in an inclusive and humanitarian vein. With agility and flexibility, Morocco has managed to strike a balance between the demands of civil society organisations for the application of just migration approaches and the international agreements to that effect so as to move on with integrating illegal migrants into the Moroccan economic, social or political fabric. In this sense, Morocco exemplifies this new urge to step beyond conventional understandings of migration that engulfs the world into two camps of those who always send and those who always receive migrants. Based on the results of this study, implications for future research are discussed.

Bibliometric and visual analysis of neurological damage caused by electrical welding operations

Objective: To analyze and summarize the trends and hot spots in the field of neurological damage caused by electric welding operations, and to provide ideas for new researches by searching the domestic and international literature. Methods: In December 2022, using Web of Science Citation Index (Web of Science), China Journal Full-Text Database (CNKI) and Wanfang Database as search databases, literature search was conducted on the Chinese and English search terms related to eletrical welding operations and neurological damage. The bibliometric analysis software VOSviewer 1.6.18 and CiteSpace 6.1.6 were used to visualize the publication year, publication quantity, country, research institution and key words of the literature. Results: A total of 309 articles (112 in Chinese and 197 in English) were included in this study. The first domestic and international papers were published in 1976 and 1994 respectively, and the number of papers reached the peak in 2006 and 2018, and then showed a downward trend to varying degrees. In China, Shandong First Medical University (including Shandong Institute of Occupational Health and Occupational Disease Prevention and Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences) and Wuhan University of Science and Technology had the largest number of publications. The 309 articles were from 52 Chinese journals and 86 English journals. The co-occurrence analysis of key words showed that the domestic research mainly focused on eletrical welding operation, welding workers, neurobehavioral function and manganese, and the nervous system damage caused by manganese in welding smoke was the field of international attention. Long term exposure, risk, and performance were key buzzwords in the field. Conclusion: The research focus in the field of nervous system damage caused by electric welding operation has an obvious trend of time evolution, gradually transiting from clinical manifestations to its toxic mechanism and early biomarkers.

Decontamination protocols on bovine fecal and environmental samples for Mycobacterium avium ssp. paratuberculosis growth in solid media

Bacteriological culture of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) is considered the gold standard to confirm its presence in several matrices for Johne’s disease diagnosis. Whether it is a liquid or solid culture, a problem with MAP culture is that non-interpretable results arise because of overgrowth by other microorganisms, making MAP growth and identification more difficult or impossible. We systematically reviewed published decontamination protocols and their effects on MAP culture from bovine fecal and environmental samples on solid media. Based on our findings, we suggest a step-by-step decontamination protocol. The OVID®/MEDLINE, PubMed®, SciELO Citation Index®, and Redalyc® platforms as well as the International Colloquium on Paratuberculosis (ICP) proceedings and the reference lists were reviewed to identify relevant studies. The inclusion criteria considered articles published in English, Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, and peer-reviewed journals. The exclusion criteria included unrelated topics, species other than bovines, other than environmental/faecal samples, other than diagnostic techniques of interest, and non-original articles. Definitive studies were obtained through the authors’ consensus regarding their eligibility and quality. In total, 1,004 publications matched the search terms, and 27 articles met the inclusion criteria, of which 45 derived and reported 15 different decontamination protocols. The centrifugation-one-step hexadecylpyridinium chloride protocol, which used over 22,154 fecal samples in three studies, was found to be the most suitable, reporting an average MAP isolation rate of 3.99% (886/22,154) and an average contamination rate of 0.17% (38/22,154). This systematic review highlights the need for further refinement of decontamination protocols to minimize the loss of viable MAP during processing of bovine fecal and environmental samples.

Clinical and Aesthetic Evaluation of Minimally Invasive Surgical Therapy for the Treatment of Gingival Recession Defects - A Systematic Review of Randomized Clinical Trials

Background: The concept of minimally invasive dentistry has seamlessly blended into the various fields of dentistry including periodontics. The past three decades have witnessed a paradigm shift from conventional surgical procedures to microsurgery in the field of periodontal plastic surgery. This entails the integration of microsurgical principles, refined surgical skills and magnification devices along with microsurgical instruments. This systematic review of the randomized clinical trials attempts to address the clinical question whether the application of minimally invasive surgical procedures for gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures for the treatment of gingival recession translate into superior clinical and patient oriented results as compared to conventional root coverage procedures. Materials and Methods: Science Direct and Ovid databases, PubMed, Scopus, and Product literature were accessed to review relevant literature evaluating minimally invasive surgery for treatment of gingival recession defects (GRDs). The search covered 13 studies published in medical and dental journals in English with a relevant impact factor and had a follow up of at least 6 months, up to and including June 2023. The results were based on parameters such as complete root coverage (CRC, expressed as percentage), mean root coverage (MRC, expressed as %) width of keratinized tissue (WKT), and variables such as esthetics and pain postsurgery. Results and Conclusion: The 13 studies pooled in 342 patients who underwent root coverage procedures for treatment of GRDs. The test group (microsurgical) and the control group (macrosurgical group) both resulted in overall improvement in parameters like MRC and CRC, WKT etc. at least 6 months postsurgery; however, statistical difference in between both the groups in these parameters was seen in only three studies. There was marked improvement found in the test group after surgery with respect to esthetics (root coverage aesthetic score) and pain scores (Visual Analog Scale score) as compared to the control group. This compels us to infer that although both conventional and microsurgical procedures are successful as root coverage procedures, microsurgical procedures are minimally invasive and produce superior esthetic and comfort parameters for the patient and are therefore highly recommended in surgical procedures.

A narrative review on problems in product quality, regulatory system constraints, and the concept of quality by design as a solution for quality assurance of African medicines.

The provision of medicines with confirmed quality and efficacy is critical for maintaining the public health and building confidence in the healthcare systems. However, the presence of poor-quality medicines still presents a significant challenge in the pharmaceutical landscape across the African regions. This is further exacerbated by the lack of consistency or discrepancy in the current regulatory framework. As a consequence, given the current constraints, a robust regulatory structure that can guarantee the supply chains attainment of the intended medicinal product requirements are required. The review aimed to provide a detailed analysis of the quality issues in the pharmaceutical supply in Africa, highlighting the challenges and proposing potential solutions for its mitigation. The review was conducted from May 2023 to April 2024. This narrative review examined poor-quality medicines, regulatory challenges, and mitigation strategies in the African pharmaceutical industry. The review utilized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science. The search strategy was customized to include open-access articles published in peer-reviewed scientific journals in English and focused exclusively on studies conducted in African countries. The review portrays the prevalence of poor-quality medicinal products in various regions of Africa. Among various categories of findings, 42% of the reports on poor-quality medicinal products come from the African region, as per the WHO report. Furthermore, separate findings on substandard medicinal products from many African countries were encountered. The presence of problems in the regulatory system, such as the absence of any pharmacopeia belonging to any African country and variation/inconsistency in each country's regulatory set-up, was indicated. Other factors for the inability to enforce regulatory law, such as insufficient skilled and committed human resources, the presence of corruption, as well as financial resource scarcity, were revealed in the review. From the situational analysis, the possibility of building a robust quality assurance system in the near future through a quality by design approach under existing resource limitations was discussed. The pharmaceutical sector in Africa faces significant challenges, including the prevalence of poor-quality medicines and weak regulatory enforcement. Tackling these challenges are vital for enhancing health outcomes throughout the continent through the provision of high-quality medicines. Trending toward quality by design in the quality assurance system under prevailing financial scarcity can be very beneficial.

Effectiveness of Nonpharmacological Interventions for Improving the Mental Health and Other Psychosocial Outcomes of Parents with Perinatal Loss: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of nonpharmacological interventions in enhancing the mental health and psychosocial outcomes of parents who have experienced perinatal loss, in comparison to active/inactive control groups. It also sought to identify the characteristics and components of effective interventions in the included studies. A comprehensive search was conducted across seven databases from January 2008 to December 2023. The analysis included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English journals and dissertations that reported at least one mental health outcome postintervention for parents with perinatal loss. Twenty‐one RCTs were included. The findings demonstrated significant improvements of nonpharmacological interventions in the grief, posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, and perceived social support of parents with perinatal loss, with moderate‐to‐high certainty of evidence. Optimal characteristics of nonpharmacological interventions for parents with perinatal loss were identified to inform future studies, including the intervention approaches (cognitive‐based interventions), delivery modalities (face‐to‐face), and formats (individual‐based), and a recommended number of sessions of four or fewer. To validate these findings and explore the process of nonpharmacological interventions in improving health outcomes for parents with perinatal loss from diverse backgrounds, further rigorous RCTs with larger sample sizes and longer follow‐up periods are required.

Evidence-based effectiveness of Ozone therapy in the treatment for oral lichen planus - A systematic review.

Oral lichen planus is a common, chronic mucocutaneous condition of uncertain origin. Early treatment of OLP can dramatically reduce the risk of further development, which in turn reduces the risk of developing cancer. Numerous methods can be used to treat OLP. Since the significance of ozone in treating this disease is still uncertain. This systematic review was conducted based on english databases, including PUBMED, SCOPUS, Embase, Ovid, and Journal of Web up to July 2022. We used the search phrases "ozone," "ozone in the treatment of oral lichen planus," "oral lichen planus," and "ozone therapy." Finally, five papers were selected for qualitative analysis. This review included a total of five papers, four of which were clinical trials and one was a longitudinal study. All studies included the erosive form of OLP, also ozone therapy was applied to patients who did not respond to conventional treatment. Ozone showed significant therapeutic effects in terms of reduction in pain and size of the lesion. The signs and symptoms associated with OLP such as burning sensation, lesion size, and scarring all considerably improved with ozone therapy.

Cervical screening participation and access facilitators and barriers for people with intellectual disability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

The World Health Organisation's vision of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem is achievable, but elimination must be achieved equitably, including for people with intellectual disability. A better understanding of cervical screening within the context of the lives of people with intellectual disability is needed. This study systematically reviewed research on the rates of cervical screening participation among people with intellectual disability, and facilitators and barriers that affect participation. Six electronic databases were systematically searched: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, PsycINFO, Embase and Pro-Quest Central Social Sciences Collection. Empirical studies published between 1986 and 2023, in English language peer-reviewed journals were eligible for inclusion. Further articles were identified through forward and backward citation tracking, and hand-searching the index lists of two key journals. Two authors screened the studies, extracted the data and collated study outcomes using a standardised software program. A meta-analysis was performed using the DerSimonian and Laird method to estimate pooled effect sizes in prevalence rates and odds ratios (ORs). The socio-ecological model (SEM) was used as a framework to thematically analyse facilitators and barriers impacting participation in cervical screening. Sixty-three articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 42 reported on rates of cervical screening participation and 24 reported on facilitators or barriers to cervical screening for people with intellectual disability. Overall, the studies reported a screening prevalence of 35% (95% CI: 26% to 45%), indicating that just over a third of people with intellectual disability have had cervical screening. The pooled odds ratio of 0.30 (95% CI: 0.23 to 0.41) indicated that people with intellectual disability are significantly less likely to have a cervical screening test compared with people without intellectual disability. Most studies examined individual and interpersonal factors impacting cervical screening. These included: (i) fear and anxiety among people with intellectual disability, (ii) misassumptions preventing screening participation, (iii) the role of support people, (iv) the need for education, (v) accessible information, and time to prepare for screening, (vi) patient-provider communication including challenges obtaining informed consent, and (vii) healthcare provider lack of confidence. Future research, policy and practice efforts must address barriers to cervical screening participation among people with intellectual disability and ensure these efforts are co-produced and community-led. This is critical to ensuring equity in global and local efforts to eliminate cervical cancer.

Identifying the Patterns of Author-Generated Tags to Library and Information Science Papers in The Academic Social Networks: Focusing on Academia.edu

This research aims to identify some patterns of author (as user) generated tags to the papers of library and information science field in Academia.edu. The research method is typically based on text analysis and word frequency distribution. The population contains over 6000 papers tagged in Academia.edu, and their abstracts were extracted from 159 English journals of the library and information science (LIS) field in the Scopus database. The growth of different types of tags in terms of the number of their words (one-word, two-word, three-word, and four-word and more), as well as the total number of tags over time, appeared as a logistic curve. It was also found that two-word tags had the most matching (54.92%) and four-word tags or more the least matching (1.76%) with different sections of papers (title, abstract, and authors’ keywords). The total tags matched 7.5% with the title, 76.61% with the abstract, and 15.89% with the authors’ keywords. Regarding the reuse of tags, it was revealed that on the one hand, 38.8% of the tags had been reused; on the other hand, 16% of the tags were reused in the first year, and more than 50% of the tags were reused in the first three years. Finally, it can be said that the users’ consensus on specific terms can identify the new patterns of users’ tagging at least partially compatible with professional indexing concepts, and by focusing on the most widely used tags and their sustainable distribution, the weighting of indexing terms and even classification schemes may be achieved.

The lactation and chestfeeding/breastfeeding information, care and support needs of trans and non-binary parents: An integrative literature review

Background: The National Breastfeeding Strategy launched by the Ministry of Health in 2020, commits to the protection, promotion and support for breastfeeding with the aim of increasing exclusive breastfeeding rates in Aotearoa New Zealand. This strategy includes a recommendation that the breastfeeding/chestfeeding information and support needs of trans and non-binary parents and their whānau are identified so that those involved in their care are knowledgeable about these specific needs. Midwives are the primary providers of lactation and breastfeeding/chestfeeding information, care and support for most pregnant people in Aotearoa New Zealand. Aims: An integrative literature review was undertaken: to ascertain the specific lactation and chestfeeding/breastfeeding information and care needs for trans, non-binary, takatāpui and other gender diverse whānau; to consider the implications of this knowledge for contemporary midwifery in Aotearoa New Zealand; and to identify continuing research needs. Method: Literature for this integrative review was primarily sourced through the Ovid Online Database using search terms pertinent to the topic and limited to articles published in peer reviewed journals in English, excluding editorials, commentaries and opinion pieces. Findings: Literature about trans and non-binary parents and chestfeeding/breastfeeding, although increasing since 2010, is limited internationally and absent nationally. From extant literature, connections between healthcare barriers and the negative experiences of trans and non-binary parents are identified and explored in three overarching themes: the foundations of Western perinatal healthcare systems; the invisibility of trans and non-binary people within perinatal healthcare systems; and the lack of perinatal healthcare provider knowledge. Conclusion: Cis-normative, gender binary foundations are omnipresent in perinatal healthcare, rendering trans and non-binary people invisible, and excluded from this space. These factors contribute to the limiting of perinatal healthcare provider knowledge, an overwhelming finding in the literature. The absence of locally produced literature presents scope for research production here in Aotearoa New Zealand, exploring this topic from our unique cultural contexts. Such contributions may help inform whether adaptations and additions to current midwifery education are necessary to support midwives in the provision of equitable, safe, culturally appropriate, gender-inclusive care.

Therapist and treatment credibility in treatment outcomes: A systematic review and meta-analysis of clients’ perceptions in individual and face-to-face psychotherapies

ABSTRACT Objective No systematic review was identified investigating the influence of perceived therapist credibility on treatment outcomes. Extant treatment credibility reviews have focused on early perceptions without considering influence of various therapy phases. This study aimed to examine the relationship between perceived treatment and therapist credibility and treatment outcomes, while considering the timing of the credibility assessment as a potential moderator. Method Articles published in English peer-reviewed journals containing at least one quantitative measure of credibility and treatment outcome regarding face-to-face therapist-delivered interventions were eligible. PsycINFO, MEDLINE and Embase online databases were last searched on April 5th, 2023, and the Effective Public Health Practice Project tool was used to assess the study quality. Correlations between treatment credibility and outcomes, and therapist credibility were calculated separately. Results Analysis of 27 studies revealed a positive association between perceived treatment credibility and treatment outcome (r = 0.15,95%CI = 0.09,0.21,p < 0.001,n = 2061). Nine studies showed a strong association between perceived therapist credibility and outcome (r = 0.35,95%CI = 0.18,0.51;p < .001,n = 1161). No significant moderator found in both meta-analyses. Conclusion Findings suggest that clients’ perceptions of higher credibility – whether concerning the treatment or the therapist – are associated with better therapeutic outcomes. Constraints in inclusion criteria and the small sample size in eligible studies were notable limitations.

Interpretation of the World by Aleksander Bregman, a Far-Sighted Commentator on International Affairs in Exile, in the London-Based "Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza"

The article presents the views and journalistic activities of the foreign-educated doctor of political science, émigré Polish journalist, correspondent, anti-communist Aleksander Bregman, a pioneer of Polish-German reconciliation, who preached the unpopular post-World War II views of German reunification, and the creation of an economic community of European states. This international relations expert was one of the few publicists in exile who managed to make a name for himself outside the circle of the Polish diaspora. Gifted with Benedictine diligence, he left behind countless articles scattered in the émigré press, English, French, Swiss and German journals, as well as many books whose contents are still relevant today. He was also a contributor to Radio Free Europe. Throughout all of his wartime and subsequent exile life in the UK, he was particularly associated with the London-based Dziennik Polski i Dziennik Żołnierza, where he served as editor-in-chief from 1959 to 1962. In Poland, the magazine was completely banned from printing until 1989. Methods used in writing the article: qualitative press content analysis, press, heuristic, historical-critical microbiography.

Exploration and practice of building a youth editorial board for scientific and technological journals: A case study in Journal of Materials Science &amp; Technology

To meet the demand for the high-quality development of English scientific journals, Journal of Materials Science &amp; Technology (JMST) established the youth editorial board which has greatly improved the efficiency of the journal’s work, optimized the quality of manuscripts, and enhanced the international influence of the journal. This study introduces the specific methods adopted by JMST in forming and assessing its youth editorial board. Through a literature review, qualitative analysis, and quantitative analysis, the role of the youth editorial board in journal development is examined. The results show that the construction of a youth editorial board, gradual improvement of its management mechanisms, and maximization of the role of youth editorial board members can promote the synergistic development of scientific journals and young editorial teams. This helps enhance the international influence of the journal, accelerate the process of internationalization, and facilitate high-quality development. Finally, the future development directions of the youth editorial board are discussed.
