Using Theoretical Models of Problematic Internet Use to Inform Psychological Formulation: A Systematic Scoping Review.

Background: Empirical research has been produced on the topic of 'Internet Addiction' or 'Problematic Internet Use' (PIU) for more than 20 years, with a variety of theoretical approaches suggested by scholars to account for the behaviour. However, the discourse has been fraught with debate around construct definition, measurement, and validity.

Aims: This review aimed to systematically review the extant literature on the topic of PIU, to identify the published psychological theories in the area, and to synthesise the findings to produce actionable information for practicing psychologists as well as academics.

Unpacking the relation between children's use of digital technologies and children's well-being: A scoping review.

Over the last decade, a substantial number of studies have addressed children's use of technologies and their impact on well-being. Nonetheless, there is still a lack of clarity on the operationalisation of technology use, well-being, and the relation between the two. This scoping review intended to shed lights on Digital Technologies Use, its operationalisation, and the relation between Digital Technologies Negative Use (DTNU) and children's well-being.

Resurfacing Gender: A Typology of Conflict-Related Violence Against Women for the Northern Ireland Troubles.

The "Troubles" in Northern Ireland are often assumed to represent an outlier in respect of contemporary global discourse on conflict-related violence against women (CRVAW), and particularly "strategic rape." CRVAW has neither commanded the narrative nor imagery of that conflict nor specifically recognized globally as part of women's experiences of it. A composite and comprehensive analysis of CRVAW for that context has been absent.

The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in mHealth: Theoretical and practical aspects for practitioners' use.

The extensive use of smart technology (smartphones and wearables) and the vast amount of information they contain have positioned remote devices and technology as a massive database resource. Harnessing these big data into the clinical and research fields has introduced a new horizon of possibilities along with significant privacy issues. A significant evolution in this respect has been the introduction of the new European Union (EU) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Socioecological Framework for Drivers of Conflict and Postconflict Violence Against Women and Girls.

This article advances our understanding of the drivers and multidimensional nature of conflict-related violence against women and girls (CRVAWG). It presents an adapted socioecological model, which supports research, analysis, and programming and can be further adapted as the empirical evidence base grows. Although models to help explore violence against women and girls generally have advanced over recent decades, these have not addressed the specific dynamics of conflict-affected settings.

The Meaning Given to Bioethics as a Source of Support by Physicians Who Care for Children Who Require Long-Term Ventilation.

The role and potential of bioethics input when a child requires the initiation of technology dependence to sustain life is relatively unknown. In particular, little is understood about the meaning physicians give to bioethics as a source of support during the care of children in pediatric intensive care who require long-term ventilation (LTV). We used a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to underpin the collection and analysis of data.

Screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ, 2008-2020: An observational study.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the grade distribution of screen-detected ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed in Ireland, in the context of the clinical trials currently underway to determine if active surveillance is a feasible management option for low-risk DCIS.

Setting: BreastCheck is the national breast screening programme in Ireland, offering screening to women aged 50 to 69 every two years.

Methods: This study was a secondary analysis of data collected by BreastCheck on all screen-detected DCIS diagnosed in the 12 years of nationwide screening.

Detection of Bioactive Metabolites in Cultures Using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy.

Detection of bioactive metabolites produced by bacteria is important for identifying biomarkers for infectious diseases. In this study, a surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS)-based technique was developed for the detection of bioactive metabolite indole produced by () in biological media. The use of highly sensitive Au@Ag core-shell nanoparticles resulted in the detection of indole concentration as low as 0.

Hospital-Based Palliative and End-of-Life Care in the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Scoping Review.

: To identify the nature of the evidence reporting hospital-based palliative and end-of-life care during the COVID-19 pandemic. : The COVID-19 pandemic has seen an increase in the numbers of seriously ill people being cared for across all health services worldwide. Due to the rapid progression of severe symptoms, the majority of staff working in hospitals and other healthcare centres were providing end-of-life care.

Developments in National Cancer Control Programmes in Europe - Results From the Analysis of a Pan-European Survey.

Introduction: National Cancer Control Programmes (NCCPs) provide a country's policy framework for the development of cancer control, focussing on the reduction of cancer morbidity and mortality and improving quality of life of cancer patients.

Objective: Exploring and analysing to which extent some of the key elements of the European Guide for Quality National Cancer Control Programmes (Guide) are implemented in NCCPs in the EU.

Methods: Survey carried out through 30 countries, EU members, Iceland, Montenegro, Norway and Turkey, focussing on stakeholders' participation, inclusion of all the envisaged chapters from the Guide as well as implementation and dissemination.

Apoptosis levels in bovine Johne's disease ileal lesions and association with bacterial numbers.

Johne's disease (JD) is a chronic granulomatous enteritis caused by subsp. (MAP). While it is generally accepted that MAP employs immune subversion mechanisms, aspects of the host-pathogen relationship are not fully understood.

'It is stressful, almost every hour…': Experiences of caring for people living with dementia in Kenya-An interpretive phenomenological approach.

Introduction: As chronic conditions such as dementia become increasingly prevalent, the role of caregivers will become ever more critical. In the East African region, little is known about the experiences of caring for people living with dementia. This study aims to describe the views of being a caregiver, including day-to-day responsibilities and duties, determine the impact of caregiving and understand participants' experiences of supports available or required to facilitate caring for a person living with dementia in Kenya.

Self-Assessment of Competence in Palliative Care of Medical Doctors Working in Saudi Arabia.

Background: The provision of palliative care (PC) for individuals with a life-threatening condition is fundamental to the role of the physician, in order to improve quality of life; however, little research has assessed the competence of the physicians in PC in Saudi Arabia.

Aim: To conduct a baseline assessment of self-assessed palliative care competences among medical physicians in Saudi Arabia.

Design: A survey-based cross-sectional study was employed using a specifically designed questionnaire.

Polyneuropathy in Young Siberian Huskies Caused by Degenerative and Inflammatory Diseases.

Polyneuropathy is defined as the simultaneous dysfunction of several peripheral nerves. In dogs, a number of breeds are predisposed to a variety of immune-mediated and/or degenerative inherited forms of polyneuropathy, with laryngeal paralysis and/or megaesophagus as important clinical features of many of these conditions. This case series describes degenerative and inflammatory polyneuropathies in 7 young Siberian huskies that were categorized based on clinicopathological characteristics as follows: (1) slowly progressive laryngeal paralysis and megaesophagus caused by primary axonal degeneration with large fiber loss (n = 2); (2) slowly progressive polyneuropathy without megaesophagus or laryngeal paralysis caused by primary axonal degeneration with large fiber loss (n = 2); (3) acute inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy causing sensory, motor and autonomic nerve deficits (n = 2); and (4) ganglioradiculitis (sensory neuronopathy; n = 1).
