Abstract
Introduction Mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) staff in humanitarian settings have limited access to clinical supervision and are at high risk of experiencing burnout. We previously piloted an online, peer-supervision program for MHPSS professionals working with displaced Rohingya (Bangladesh) and Syrian (Turkey and Northwest Syria) communities. Pilot evaluations demonstrated that online, peer-supervision is feasible, low-cost, and acceptable to MHPSS practitioners in humanitarian settings. Objectives
This project will determine the impact of online supervision on i) the wellbeing and burnout levels of local MHPSS practitioners, and ii) practitioner technical skills to improve beneficiary perceived service satisfaction, acceptability, and appropriateness. Methods MHPSS practitioners in two contexts (Bangladesh and Turkey/Northwest Syria) will participate in 90-minute group-based online supervision, fortnightly for six months. Sessions will be run on zoom and will be co-facilitated by MHPSS practitioners and in-country research assistants. A quasi-experimental multiple-baseline design will enable a quantitative comparison of practitioner and beneficiary outcomes between control periods (12-months) and the intervention. Outcomes to be assessed include the Kessler-6, Harvard Trauma Questionnaire and Copenhagen Burnout Inventory and Client Satisfaction Questionnaire-8. Results A total of 80 MHPSS practitioners will complete 24 monthly online assessments from May 2022. Concurrently, 1920 people receiving MHPSS services will be randomly selected for post-session interviews (24 per practitioner). Conclusions This study will determine the impact of an online, peer-supervision program for MHPSS practitioners in humanitarian settings. Results from the baseline assessments, pilot evaluation, and theory of change model will be presented. Disclosure No significant relationships.

Abstract
PURPOSE Previous studies have associated developmental stuttering with difficulty learning new motor skills. We investigated non-speech motor sequence learning in children with persistent developmental stuttering (CWS), children who have recovered from developmental stuttering (CRS) and typically developing controls (CON). METHODS Over the course of two days, participants completed the Multi-Finger Sequencing Task, consisting of repeated trials of a10-element sequence, interspersed with trials of random sequences of the same length. We evaluated motor sequence learning using accuracy and response synchrony, a timing measure for evaluation of sequencing timing. We examined error types as well as recognition and recall of the repeated sequences. RESULTS CWS demonstrated lower performance accuracy than CON and CRS on the first day of the finger tapping experiment but improved to the performance level of CON and CRS on the second day. Response synchrony showed no overall difference among CWS, CRS and CON. Learning scores of repeated sequences did not differ from learning scores of random sequences in CWS, CRS and CON. CON and CRS demonstrated an adaptive strategy to response errors, whereas CWS maintained a high percentage of corrected errors for both days. CONCLUSIONS Our study examined non-speech sequence learning across CWS, CRS and CON. Our preliminary findings support the idea that developmental stuttering is not associated with sequence learning per se but rather with general fine motor performance difficulties.

Abstract
We measured respiratory flow rates, and expired O2 in 32 (2-34 years, body mass [Mb] range: 73-291 kg) common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) during voluntary breaths on land or in water (between 2014 and 2017). The data were used to measure the resting O2 consumption rate ([Formula: see text], range: 0.76-9.45 ml O2 min-1 kg-1) and tidal volume (VT, range: 2.2-10.4 l) during rest. For adult dolphins, the resting VT, but not [Formula: see text], correlated with body mass (Mb, range: 141-291 kg) with an allometric mass-exponent of 0.41. These data suggest that the mass-specific VT of larger dolphins decreases considerably more than that of terrestrial mammals (mass-exponent: 1.03). The average resting [Formula: see text] was similar to previously published metabolic measurements from the same species. Our data indicate that the resting metabolic rate for a 150 kg dolphin would be 3.9 ml O2 min-1 kg-1, and the metabolic rate for active animals, assuming a multiplier of 3-6, would range from 11.7 to 23.4 ml O2 min-1 kg-1.\absbreak Our measurements provide novel data for resting energy use and respiratory physiology in wild cetaceans, which may have significant value for conservation efforts and for understanding the bioenergetic requirements of this species.

Abstract
Patients with autonomic dysfunction may present with a variety of seemingly unrelated symptoms, both generalised and involving specific systems, including fatigue, difficulty concentrating, orthostatic intolerance, palpitations, constipation or diarrhoea, early satiety, urinary retention or incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Failure to connect the diverse symptoms with a single underlying mechanism may lead to incorrect diagnoses, inappropriate interventions and frustration on the part of both doctors and patients. We describe recent developments in the understanding of the pathophysiology of autonomic dysfunction, including the link between the autonomic and immune systems resulting in the 'inflammatory reflex'. We then provide a rationale to guide the management of patients exhibiting features of autonomic dysfunction, including postural tachycardia syndrome.

Abstract
There is increasing clinical and molecular evidence for the role of hormones and specifically estrogen and its receptor in schizophrenia. A selective estrogen receptor modulator, raloxifene, stimulates estrogen-like activity in brain and can improve cognition in older adults. The present study tested the extent to which adjunctive raloxifene treatment improved cognition and reduced symptoms in young to middle-age men and women with schizophrenia. Ninety-eight patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were recruited into a dual-site, thirteen-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial of adjunctive raloxifene treatment in addition to their usual antipsychotic medications. Symptom severity and cognition in the domains of working memory, attention/processing speed, language and verbal memory were assessed at baseline, 6 and 13 weeks. Analyses of the initial 6-week phase of the study using a parallel groups design (with 39 patients receiving placebo and 40 receiving raloxifene) revealed that participants receiving adjunctive raloxifene treatment showed significant improvement relative to placebo in memory and attention/processing speed. There was no reduction in symptom severity with treatment compared with placebo. There were significant carryover effects, suggesting some cognitive benefits are sustained even after raloxifene withdrawal. Analysis of the 13-week crossover data revealed significant improvement with raloxifene only in attention/processing speed. This is the first study to show that daily, oral adjunctive raloxifene treatment at 120 mg per day has beneficial effects on attention/processing speed and memory for both men and women with schizophrenia. Thus, raloxifene may be useful as an adjunctive treatment for cognitive deficits associated with schizophrenia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Electrical utility workers wear thick rubber gloves and often work in the cold. OBJECTIVE To document the challenge of working in the cold and the effectiveness of different glove/liner combinations in keeping workers' hands warm. METHODS Ten experienced male electrical utility employees worked in a controlled temperature walk-in chamber at -20 °C for 45 minutes for each of five glove conditions: standard five-finger rubber gloves with cotton liners and gauntlets, mitten style gloves, a prototype wool liner, and two heating options; glove or torso. Dependent measures were maximum grip force, skin temperatures, finger dexterity and sensitivity to touch, ratings of perceived effort and a rating of thermal sensation. RESULTS Participants' hand skin temperatures decreased, they perceived their hands to be much colder, their finger sensitivity decreased and their ratings of perceived exertion increased, however their performance did not degrade over the 45 minute trials. The mitten-style gloves showed a smaller drop in skin temperature for the 3rd and 5th digits (p< 0.05) than the other glove conditions. CONCLUSIONS Mitten style gloves kept workers' hands warmer than the standard five finger glove.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A six-year study is exploring the most effective ways to disseminate ideas to reduce musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) in the construction sector. The sector was targeted because MSDs account for 35% of all lost time injuries. This paper reports on the organization of the construction sector, and maps potential pathways of communication, including social networks, to set the stage for future dissemination. PARTICIPANTS The managers, health and safety specialists, union health and safety representatives, and 28 workers from small, medium and large construction companies participated. METHODS Over a three-year period, data were collected from 47 qualitative interviews. Questions were guided by the PARIHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) knowledge-transfer conceptual framework and adapted for the construction sector. FINDINGS The construction sector is a complex and dynamic sector, with non-linear reporting relationships, and divided and diluted responsibilities. Four networks were identified that can potentially facilitate the dissemination of new knowledge: worksite-project networks; union networks; apprenticeship program networks; and networks established by the Construction Safety Association/Infrastructure Health and Safety Association. CONCLUSIONS Flexible and multi-directional lines of communication must be used in this complex environment. This has implications for the future choice of knowledge transfer strategies.

Abstract
Electric utility workers in Canada must frequently work in the cold and must wear thick rubber gloves which can result in rapid fatigue and reduced performance. The purpose of the study was therefore to document the challenge of working in the cold wearing the standard five-finger rubber gloves and covers and compare them to two equipment options, mitten style gloves or a prototype wool liner, and two heating options, glove or torso heating. The dependent measures were grip force, temperature, dexterity (modified Purdue pegboard test and a simulated occupational task), finger sensitivity (Von Frey hair test), perceived effort and thermal sensation. The study population consisted of 10 experienced male utility workers. They worked in a controlled temperature walk-in chamber (-20 degrees Celsius) and performed simulated utility work for 45 minutes with interspersed test batteries. The mitten style glove and woolen liner in a standard glove reduced the effects of working in the cold compared to the standard five-fingered variety with a thin cotton liner. We found that the mitten style glove showed lesser drops in skin temperature for the 3rd and 5th digits than the other conditions (p < 0.05).

Abstract
We report the quantitative genetic analysis of seed oil quality and quantity in six Arabidopsis thaliana recombinant inbred populations, in which the parent accessions were from diverse geographical origins, and were selected on the basis of variation for seed oil content and lipid composition. Although most of the biochemical steps involved in lipid biosynthesis are known and the key genes have been identified, the regulation of the processes that results in the final oil composition and total amount is not understood. By using physically anchored markers it was possible to compare results across populations. A total of 219 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) were identified, of which 81 were significant at P<0.001. Some of these colocalise with QTLs identified previously, but many novel QTLs were also identified. The results highlight the importance of studying traits in multiple populations, which will lead to a better understanding of the contribution that natural variation makes to the genetic architecture of a phenotype.

Abstract
We constructed a linkage map for the population QDH, which was derived from a cross between an oilseed rape cultivar and a resynthesised Brassica napus. The linkage map included ten markers linked to loci orthologous to those encoding fatty acid biosynthesis genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. The QDH population contains a high level of allelic variation, particularly in the C genome. We conducted quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses, using field data obtained over 3 years, for the fatty acid composition of seed oil. The population segregates for the two major loci controlling erucic acid content, on linkage groups A8 and C3, which quantitatively affect the content of other fatty acids and is a problem generally encountered when crossing "wild" germplasm with cultivated "double low" oilseed rape cultivars. We assessed three methods for QTL analysis, interval mapping, multiple QTL mapping and single marker regression analysis of the subset of lines with low erucic acid. We found the third of these methods to be most appropriate for our main purpose, which was the study of the genetic control of the desaturation of 18-carbon fatty acids. This method enabled us to decouple the effect of the segregation of the erucic acid-controlling loci and identify 34 QTL for fatty acid content of seed oil, 14 in the A genome and 20 in the C genome. The QTL indicate the presence of 13 loci with novel alleles inherited from the progenitors of the resynthesised B. napus that might be useful for modulating the content or extent of desaturation of polyunsaturated fatty acids, only one of which coincides with the anticipated position of a candidate gene, an orthologue of FAD2.

Abstract
It is generally considered that variation in mechanical exposure is beneficial from the viewpoint of preventing musculoskeletal disorders. An approach to quantifying the functional similarity of manual tasks was developed and tested by using three handgrips: power grip (PG); pulp pinch (PP); lateral pinch (LP). Changes in maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) forces were measured during 15 combinations of 2-min duration, 30% MVC isometric contraction in 25 participants. Strength changes in PG were found to be substantially different from LP; when the two grips were alternated, strength dropped to 85.1% MVC whereas after PG alone, strength dropped to 59.3% MVC. The findings suggest that PG and LP are functionally different enough for their alternating use to contribute to increased exposure variation during manual activities. STATEMENT OF RELEVANCE: The paper describes how to determine if two tasks, when performed alternately, are different enough to reduce fatigue, increase work capacity and potentially prevent musculoskeletal disorders. Better understanding of the differences between tasks has the potential to improve job design by allowing better choice of tasks that combine to define a job.

Abstract
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE To predict long-term outcome of those caring for family members who have sustained a traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHODS AND PROCEDURES A multivariate approach was used to examine the effectiveness of caregiver coping strategies in the context of TBI-related behavioural change. Self-administered questionnaire packages were collected from 72 adult survivor and family-member pairs who provided information on survivors' altered executive function, behavioural control and emotional sensitivity as well as caregivers' methods of coping, attitudes toward caregiving, indices of distress, mood ratings and quality of life. MAIN OUTCOMES AND RESULTS Family members generally reported higher levels of satisfaction than dissatisfaction with their caregiving role. The type of neurobehavioural deficit and the approaches taken to cope with stress had specific effects on each dimension of caregiver outcome. CONCLUSIONS Adequate family support requires finely tuned assessment of factors relevant to successful coping.

Abstract
The objective was to ascertain fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2), epidermal growth factor (EGF), and transforming growth factor-alpha (TGFalpha) mRNA expression and testis morphology during accelerated testicular growth after hemicastration in the neonatal boar. On Day 10 after birth (Day 0), boars were assigned to control (n = 28), no treatment; hemicastrated (n = 28), left testis removed. The right testis in both groups (n = 7) was removed on Days 5, 10, 15, and 20. Expression of mRNA for FGF2, EGF, and TGFalpha was determined by qRT-PCR using TaqMan. Testicular morphology was determined on Day 15. On Day 10, hemicastrated boars had a greater (P = 0.01) testis weight (6.2 +/- 0.8 g; mean +/- SEM) than controls (4.3 +/- 0.4 g) and on Day 15 testis weight in hemicastrated boars (8.8 +/- 0.8 g) was twice (P < 0.01) that of control boars (4.2 +/- 0.3 g). Seminiferous tubule volume was approximately doubled in hemicastrated boars (P < 0.01) and was associated with an increase (P < 0.01) in Sertoli cell number. Interstitial compartment volume was greater (P < 0.01) in hemicastrated boars. Leydig cell numbers were similar (P = 0.14) but volume was greater (P < 0.01) for hemicastrates. There were no differences (P > 0.05) between control and hemicastrated boars in TGFalpha or FGF2 expression on Day 5 or Day 10, and EGF was not detected. It was concluded that upregulation of TGFalpha or FGF2 expression is not a pre-requisite for enhanced testicular growth and increased Sertoli cell proliferation that occurs subsequent to hemicastration in the neonatal boar.

Abstract
To evaluate soft tissue reactions and biofilm formation on percutaneous external fixator screws coated with diamond-like carbon (DLC) and hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings on stainless-steel (SS) pins in an ovine loaded osteotomy model, an Orthofix external fixator was used to stabilize a 3-mm tibial midshaft osteotomy with six tapered pins inserted into the right tibia of 32 skeletally mature Friesland ewes. Animals were divided into four groups; SS, fully coated HA, DLC, and HA-coated threads. At 10 weeks, specimens were harvested and the pins were removed en bloc to examine the interfaces between the surface coatings and the tissues. Fully coated HA pins had a significantly higher percentage of dermal contact with the pin surface than HA-coated threads (p=0.028). The presence of a biofilm was evident on all pin surfaces except DLC-coated pins. Significantly greater numbers of bacteria were present on fully coated HA and plain stainless-steel pins compared with DLC. The surface of DLC-coated pins had a significantly lower number of bacterial colonies compared to SS (p=0.028) and fully coated HA pins (p=0.005). Fully coated HA pins have greater dermal attachment to the pin surface than the other pin coatings investigated. DLC-coated pins have the potential to prevent biofilm formation and bacterial colonization that may reduce infection and consequent pin loosening. An external fixator pin that is partially coated with HA to encourage bone and soft tissue integration and with DLC to reduce biofilm formation is advocated.

Abstract
Charged hadrons in [EQUATION: SEE TEXT] associated with particles of [EQUATION: SEE TEXT] are reconstructed in pp and Au+Au collisions at sqrt[sNN]=200 GeV. The associated multiplicity and p magnitude sum are found to increase from pp to central Au+Au collisions. The associated p distributions, while similar in shape on the nearside, are significantly softened on the awayside in central Au+Au relative to pp and not much harder than that of inclusive hadrons. The results, consistent with jet quenching, suggest that the awayside fragments approach equilibration with the medium traversed.

Abstract
Midrapidity open charm spectra from direct reconstruction of D0(D0)-->K-/+pi+/- in d+Au collisions and indirect electron-positron measurements via charm semileptonic decays in p+p and d+Au collisions at squareroot[sNN]=200 GeV are reported. The D0(D0) spectrum covers a transverse momentum (pT) range of 0.1<pT<3 GeV/c, whereas the electron spectra cover a range of 1<pT<4 GeV/c. The electron spectra show approximate binary collision scaling between p+p and d+Au collisions. From these two independent analyses, the differential cross section per nucleon-nucleon binary interaction at midrapidity for open charm production from d+Au collisions at BNL RHIC is dsigma(NN)cc/dy=0.30+/-0.04(stat)+/-0.09(syst) mb. The results are compared to theoretical calculations. Implications for charmonium results in A+A collisions are discussed.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms associated with testicular hypertrophy after hemicastration are poorly understood. Sertoli cells in culture underwent increased proliferation when exposed to fibroblast growth factor-2 (FGF2)1 and transforming growth factor-α (TGFα).2 To determine whether FGF2 and TGFα expression is upregulated during accelerated testicular growth after hemicastration in the boar animals were assigned to (a) control (n = 12), no treatment; (b) hemicastrated (n=14), left testis removed on Day 10 after birth. The right testis was removed from half the control and hemicastrated boars, respectively, on Days 15 and 20 after birth. RNA was extracted from sections of frozen testis, cDNA synthesised using TaqMan® Reverse Transcription, and real-time PCR performed. FGF2 expression was determined using forward (5′GTG TTA CAG ACG AGT GTT TCT TTT TTG3′), internal (5′acg act gga atc taa t3′) and reverse (5′TTC CTC GAC CGG TAA GTA TTG TAG T3′) primers. TGFα expression was similarly determined using forward (5′GGC TGT CCT CAT CAT CAC ATG T3′), internal (5′tgc tga tac act gct gc3′) and reverse (5′CGG CAC CAC TCA CAG TGT TT3′) primers. Data were analysed by ANOVA and LSD test (testis weight) and unpaired two-tailed t-tests assuming equal variance (FGF2, TGFα). There was no difference (P > 0.05) in testis weight between hemicastrated (3.9 ± 0.3 g; mean ± SEM) and control (3.6 ± 0.5 g) boars on Day 5 but on Day 10 hemicastrated boars had a greater (P = 0.01) testis weight (6.2 ± 0.8 g) than controls (4.3 ± 0.4 g). There were no differences (P > 0.05) between control and hemicastrated boars in TGFα or FGF2 expression on Days 5 and 10. It is concluded from the findings that upregulation of TGFα or FGF2 gene expression is not required for testicular hypertrophy subsequent to hemicastration in the neonatal boar.

Abstract
Results on high transverse momentum charged particle emission with respect to the reaction plane are presented for Au + Au collisions at square root s(NN)=200 GeV. Two- and four-particle correlations results are presented as well as a comparison of azimuthal correlations in Au + Au collisions to those in p + p at the same energy. The elliptic anisotropy v(2) is found to reach its maximum at p(t) approximately 3 GeV/c, then decrease slowly and remain significant up to p(t) approximately 7-10 GeV/c. Stronger suppression is found in the back-to-back high-p(t) particle correlations for particles emitted out of plane compared to those emitted in plane. The centrality dependence of v(2) at intermediate p(t) is compared to simple models based on jet quenching.
