    Abstract Purpose: To explore literature, policies or procedures available to care providers on how to deliver CPR and BLS to people with a disability, for whom the current standard guidelines are not fit for purpose.
    Material and methods: A scoping review was conducted using four databases, namely, CINHAL, PubMed, Scopus, Medline and Google Scholar. Keywords used included, disab*, wheelchairs, cardiopulmonary, resuscitation, "basic life support", life support care, and bystander CPR. 1119 papers were retrieved and 1043 were screened following removal of 76 for duplication. 18 full text articles were reviewed and 5 met the inclusion criteria.
    Results: The five articles were from three counties and included one case study, three expert opinion papers and one intervention study. Four of the papers advocated in favour of improved CPR and BLS guidelines and three of the papers discussed techniques and ideas for supplementation of standard CPR and BLS.
    Conclusion: The scoping review has uncovered a paucity of evidence explaining delivery of CPR and BLS for people with disability and highlights the need for further research. In the absence of further evidence, it is reasonable for educators to provide ideas and discussion about supplementing CPR and BLS for people with disability to carers.

    Abstract In cases of animal mimicry, the receiver of the signal learns the truth that he is either dealing with the real thing or with a mimic. Thus, despite being a prototypical example of animal deception, mimicry does not seem to qualify as deception on the traditional definition, since the receiver is not actually misled. We offer a new account of propositional content in sender-receiver games that explains how the receiver is misled (and deceived) by mimicry. We show that previous accounts of deception, and of propositional content, give incorrect results about whether certain signals are deceptive.

  6. Article ; Online: Increasing radial growth in old-growth high-elevation conifers in Southern California, USA, during the exceptional "hot drought" of 2000-2020.

    Abstract Hot droughts, droughts attributed to below-average precipitation and exceptional warmth, are increasingly common in the twenty-first century, yet little is known about their effect on coniferous tree growth because of their historical rarity. In much of the American West, including California, radial tree growth is principally driven by precipitation, and narrow ring widths are typically associated with either drier or drought conditions. However, for species growing at high elevations (e.g., Larix lyalli, Pinus albicaulis), growth can be closely aligned with above-average temperatures with maximum growth coinciding with meteorological drought, suggesting that the growth effects of drought span from adverse to beneficial depending on location. Here, we compare radial growth responses of three high-elevation old-growth pines (Pinus jeffreyi, P. lambertiana, and P. contorta) growing in the San Jacinto Mountains, California, during a twenty-first-century hot drought (2000-2020) largely caused by exceptional warmth and a twentieth-century drought (1959-1966) principally driven by precipitation deficits. Mean radial growth during the hot drought was 12% above average while 18% below average during the mid-century drought illustrating that the consequences of environmental stress exhibit spatiotemporal variability. We conclude that the effects of hot droughts on tree growth in high-elevation forests may produce responses different than what is commonly associated with extended dry periods for much of western North America's forested lands at lower elevational ranges and likely applies to other mountainous regions (e.g., Mediterranean Europe) defined by summer-dry conditions. Thus, the climatological/biological interactions discovered in Southern California may offer clues to the unique nature of high-elevation forested ecosystems globally.

    Abstract This article explores current practice issues in basic life support (BLS) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) delivery for people with disability and poses recommendations for development of education and training where specialist nurses and other health professionals can facilitate BLS and CPR techniques catering for people with atypical chest shapes wheelchair users and people at high risk of choking. People with a disability are at higher risk of premature and unexpected death. At present there is a significant gap in knowledge about how to deliver optimal BLS or CPR to people with atypical chest shapes wheelchair users and people at high risk of choking. This leave carers to augment guidelines during emergency situations. Introduction of supplemented BLS and CPR together with development of emergency care plans for people with disability could reduce the number of people with disability dying premature or preventable deaths.

    Abstract Autoradiography, the direct imaging of radioactive distribution in tissue sections, is a powerful technique that has several key advantages for the validation of PET radiotracers. Using autoradiography, we can localize radiotracer uptake to neighbours of cells, and when multiplexed with additional radiotracers, fluorescent probes, or in situ tissue analysis, autoradiography can help to characterize the mechanism of radiotracer uptake and assess functional heterogeneity in tissue. In this chapter, the author outlines the basic ex vivo autoradiography protocol and shows how it can be multiplexed using dual radionuclides

    Abstract Issue addressed: Becoming a non-resident father through divorce is stressful and this often results in compromised mental health and well-being. Non-resident fathers' mental well-being has been measured at very low levels which may require clinical treatment, especially when correlated with child access and family court issues. A United Nations report highlighted how non-resident fathers may be marginalised, but to date, limited literature considers the lives of non-resident fathers from their own perspective and reflecting their own voice and it has been claimed that as fathers are often absent from parenting research, this absence, they are not heard. The aim of this paper was to identify how non-resident fathers' interactions with legal and welfare services and ex-partners may result in their marginalisation and affect their mental health.
    Methods: In-depth interviews with open-ended questions were conducted with 19 non-resident fathers, both long term, newly divorced or in the divorce process, so as to capture a long range view of their experiences. Thematic Analysis was used for data analysis and the generation of the themes.
    Results: Three themes emerged from the data: (1) Becoming a non-resident father with two sub themes; (2) Being in a state of distress, with three sub-themes and (3) Managing distress and seeking help, with two sub-themes. Participants reported a lack of agency, lack of power in decision making and a lack of social and financial resources all contributing to the deterioration in their self-reported experiences of mental health. This impact was highlighted by the number of participants who undertook counselling or psychological assistance to deal with their perceived marginalisation, feeling of invisibility and disempowerment.
    Conclusions: The implications of marginalisation for non-resident fathers' mental health, as outlined by the participants, are discussed regarding the impact of becoming a non-resident father, legal aspects, welfare service experiences and relationship with ex-partner. The chronic stress experienced by non-resident fathers who often find themselves in a situation which is difficult to resolve without major compromises to their desired outcomes must be recognised.
    So what: One means of achieving better mental health for non-resident fathers is to address the impact of marginalisation and lack of agency and that court processes are resolved swiftly with a view to increasing non-resident father's agency in post-divorce decision making.
