Recruitment Challenges and Strategies in a Technology-Based Intervention for Dementia Caregivers: Descriptive Study.
JMIR Form Res
January 2025
College of Nursing, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, United States.
Background: Researchers have encountered challenges in recruiting unpaid caregivers of people living with Alzheimer disease and related dementias for intervention studies. However, little is known about the reasons for nonparticipation in in-home smart health interventions in community-based settings.
Objective: This study aimed to (1) assess recruitment rates in a smart health technology intervention for caregivers of people living with Alzheimer disease and related dementias and reasons for nonparticipation among them and (2) discuss lessons learned from recruitment challenges and strategies to improve recruitment.
Allometric Constraint Predominates Over the Acoustic Adaptation Hypothesis in a Radiation of Neotropical Treefrogs.
Integr Zool
December 2024
Laboratório de Sistemática de Vertebrados, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul (PUCRS), Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Male frogs use specific calls to attract mates and avoid competition, with their call characteristics influenced by their size and environment.
- The acoustic adaptation hypothesis suggests that frogs evolve their calls to improve their reach and clarity in their habitats.
- Research on Neotropical treefrogs revealed a significant relationship between body size and call frequency, but did not support the AAH claims linking calls to environmental factors, suggesting other influences like female choice may play a role.
Article Synopsis
- The study identifies a new amphibian species in the genus Cacosternum from the Cederberg region of South Africa, previously misclassified as C. karooicum.
- This new species is closely related to C. capense and C. namaquense but is distinct due to specific morphological features and acoustic characteristics.
- The research includes insights into the new species' natural history, geographic distribution, and conservation needs.
Genomic and bioacoustic variation in a midwife toad hybrid zone: A role for reinforcement?
PLoS One
November 2024
Laboratory for Amphibian Systematics and Evolution, College of Biology & the Environment, Nanjing Forestry University, Nanjing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Hybrid zones are areas where diverging species meet, mix their genes, and provide insights into how species diverge and become reproductively isolated.
- This study focuses on a hybrid zone between two species of midwife toads in southern France, using advanced techniques to analyze genetics and mating calls, aiming to understand genetic mixing and potential reinforcement of reproductive barriers.
- Findings indicate a narrow hybrid zone with limited gene flow and evidence of reproductive isolation, suggesting that while mating calls overlap less in the hybrid zone, this trend does not lead to clear differences in calls, indicating complex dynamics in reinforcement processes.
Addressing the commercial determinants of menstrual health: a call to regulate menstrual product manufacturers.
Health Promot Int
December 2024
Faculty of Law, Copenhagen University, Karen Blixen Plads 16, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark.
Over the last two decades, menstrual health and hygiene have become increasingly common on the global health agenda. While governments and international organizations are adopting measures to make menstrual products more accessible, corporate actors producing them have only been subject to limited scrutiny. Yet, their products and commercial practices raise environmental, health, equity and societal issues, which warrant attention and regulation.
