Exploring the Relevance of Indigenous Knowledges to Dementia Care in Nursing.

In this paper, we engage in philosophical inquiry to consider the relevance of Indigenous Knowledges (IKs) for reimagining dementia care for individuals living with dementia. We outline the limitations of philosophical perspectives aligned with Eurocentric academic knowledge, arguing that such knowledge relies on an individualistic view of self and neglects the body and embodied experience in dementia care. We demonstrate how a personal diachronicity perspective diminishes the importance of valuing the fluid and dynamic self-identities of persons living with dementia.

Genetic insights into the first detection of Paracoccus marginatus (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) in Australia.

Species spread in a new environment is often associated with founders' effect, and reduced effective population size and genetic diversity. However, reduced genetic diversity does not necessarily translate to low establishment and spread potential. Paracoccus marginatus Williams and Granara de Willink is a polyphagous pest that has invaded 4 continents in around 34 years.

Prolonged length of stay among individuals presenting to the emergency department with psychosis: Associations with sociodemographic and visit-level characteristics.

Introduction: Individuals experiencing psychosis commonly initiate and engage in treatment within an emergency department (ED) setting. Understanding factors contributing to adverse ED experiences is critical for improving psychosis-related treatment. Prolonged ED length of stay (LOS), which can be conversely associated with treatment quality, is not well explored among individuals experiencing psychosis.

Detection of Amblyomma maculatum and Rickettsia parkeri in prairies of Central Missouri.

The destruction and decline of prairie habitats due to landscape repurposing have profoundly impacted the diversity of plant, animal, and insect life. In the Central United States, the reconstruction of prairie habitats from farmland is a widely applied strategy to raise diversity and recreate a healthy, complex ecosystem. In Central Missouri, we examine the consequences of reconstruction efforts on the prevalence of zoonotic diseases and their associated pathogens by performing tick-flagging at two prairie sites.

Association between adverse perinatal events and postpartum depressive symptoms in a North American prospective preconception cohort study.

Background: Identifying risk factors for postpartum depression (PPD) is critical to inform early intervention efforts. This study investigated the impact of adverse perinatal events on PPD.

Methods: We analyzed data from the Pregnancy Study Online (PRESTO), a North American prospective preconception cohort study.
