    Abstract Social and political change is occurring in Aotearoa New Zealand and tikanga, mātauranga, te reo Māori (the Māori language) and Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi) are increasingly being recognised in diverse political and legal contexts. This article explores whether the political science discipline is keeping pace with these political changes, whether research and course content is adequately reflecting these new realities, and if students are appropriately equipped to participate. In particular, we examine the state of university politics programs and outline the form and quantity of Māori politics in the teaching and research of these programs. From the assessment of the current state of politics programs, we make some observations about what changes may be required to ensure politics programs, their students and academics are fully equipped to work in the unique political and legal landscape of Aotearoa New Zealand. Approximately 1% of political science lecturers are Māori, 1% of content taught can be classified as Māori politics and approximately 1% of publications in the New Zealand Political Science journal can be classified as kaupapa Māori politics. This 1–1–1 crisis provides a bleak picture of the existing arrangements in politics programs in Aotearoa New Zealand and must change.

    Abstract The New Zealand government has been globally praised for its response to Covid-19. Despite the global accolades, little attention has been given to the swift and innovative Māori response to Covid-19. This paper will detail some of this rapid Māori response to Covid-19 in Aotearoa New Zealand and argue the response can be understood as key examples of Māori exercising tino rangatiratanga (self-determination), independent of the government's measures and policies. We suggest that this exploration of tino rangatiratanga during Covid-19 demonstrates central aspects of Māori well-being that move beyond a government focus on statistics as the key measure of well-being and how tikanga Māori (Māori values) are being used to develop successful responses to the global pandemic.

    Abstract Objectives: Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) and urethral obstruction (UO) are commonly linked to increased stress. The influence of human movement restrictions on their incidence remains undetermined. FIC with or without UO is associated with environmental stress factors. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic restricted human movement and working behaviours. It is unknown if these restrictions increased the risk of FIC or UO in cats.
    Methods: Total cat emergency accessions and transfers between 8 February 2019 and 8 February 2021 at two private hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. Cats were included in the FIC group if they presented with lower urinary tract signs and supporting urinalysis, and were included in the UO group if they presented with UO. Cats with current urinary tract infection, or previous FIC or UO, were excluded. Groups were considered 'pre-COVID-19' between February 2019 and 2020 and 'COVID-19' between February 2020 and 2021. Cases of FIC and UO were compared between COVID-19 and pre-COVID-19 using Fisher's exact test and relative risk (RR) calculations.
    Results: The pre-COVID-19 incidence of FIC was 4.3% (63/1477, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0332-0.053), non-obstructive FIC was 1.4% (20/1477, 95% CI 0.008-0.020) and UO was 2.9% (43/1477, 95% CI 0.020-0.038). One cat was excluded as obstruction occurred during hospitalisation. The COVID-19 incidence of FIC was 5.4% (113/2081, 95% CI 0.044-0.64), non-obstructive FIC was 2.1% (70/2081, 95% CI 0.014-0.027) and UO was 3.4% (70/2081, 95% CI 0.026-0.042). The risk of non-obstructive FIC (
    Conclusions and relevance: No clear association between COVID-19 movement restrictions and the incidence of UO or non-obstructive FIC was found within this retrospective population.

    Abstract Background: Features of consumptive coagulopathy and thromboinflammation are prominent in cerebral malaria (CM). We hypothesized that thrombogenic autoantibodies contribute to a procoagulant state in CM.
    Methods: Plasma from children with uncomplicated malaria (UM, n = 124) and CM (n = 136) was analyzed by ELISA for a panel of 8 autoantibodies including anti-Platelet Factor 4/polyanion (anti-PF4/P), anti-Phospholipid, anti-Phosphatidylserine, anti-Myeloperoxidase, anti-Proteinase 3, anti-dsDNA, anti-Beta-2-Glycoprotein I (β2GPI), and anti-Cardiolipin. Non-malaria coma (NMC, n = 49) and healthy controls (HC, n = 56) were assayed for comparison. Associations with clinical and immune biomarkers were determined using univariate and logistic regression analyses.
    Results: Median anti-PF4/P and anti-PS IgG levels were elevated with malaria infection relative to HC (P < 0.001) and NMC (PF4/P: P < 0.001). Anti-PF4/P IgG levels were elevated in CM (median = 0.27, IQR: 0.19-0.41) compared to UM (median = 0.19, IQR: 0.14-0.22, P ≤ 0.0001). Anti-PS IgG levels did not differ between UM and CM (P = 0.39). When CM cases were stratified by malaria retinopathy (Ret) status, levels of anti-PF4/P IgG correlated negatively with peripheral platelet count in Ret+ CM cases (Rs = 0.201, P = 0.04) and associated positively with mortality (OR = 15.2, 95% CI: 1.02-275, P = 0.048). Plasma from CM patients induced a greater platelet activation capacity in an ex-vivo assay relative to plasma from UM patients (P = 0.02). Platelet activation was associated with anti-PF4/P IgG levels (Rs = 0.293, P = 0.035).
    Conclusions: Thrombosis mediated by elevated anti-PF4/P autoantibodies may be one mechanism contributing to the clinical complications of CM.

    Abstract Gated adsorption is one of the unique physical properties of flexible metal-organic frameworks with high application potential in selective adsorption and sensing of molecules. Despite recent studies that have provided some guidelines in understanding and designing structural flexibility for controlling gate opening by chemical modification of the secondary building units, currently, there is no established strategy to design a flexible MOF showing selective gated adsorption for a specific guest molecule. In a present contribution it is demonstrated for the first time, that the selectivity in the gate opening of a particular compound can be tuned, changed, and even reversed using particle size engineering DUT-8(Zn) ([Zn

    Abstract Feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC) and urethral obstruction (UO) are commonly linked to increased stress. The influence of human movement restrictions on their incidence remains undetermined. FIC with or without UO is associated with environmental stress factors. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (COVID-19) pandemic restricted human movement and working behaviours. It is unknown if these restrictions increased the risk of FIC or UO in cats. Total cat emergency accessions and transfers between 8 February 2019 and 8 February 2021 at two private hospitals were retrospectively reviewed. Cats were included in the FIC group if they presented with lower urinary tract signs and supporting urinalysis, and were included in the UO group if they presented with UO. Cats with current urinary tract infection, or previous FIC or UO, were excluded. Groups were considered ‘pre-COVID-19’ between February 2019 and 2020 and ‘COVID-19’ between February 2020 and 2021. Cases of FIC and UO were compared between COVID-19 and pre-COVID-19 using Fisher’s exact test and relative risk (RR) calculations. The pre-COVID-19 incidence of FIC was 4.3% (63/1477, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.0332–0.053), non-obstructive FIC was 1.4% (20/1477, 95% CI 0.008–0.020) and UO was 2.9% (43/1477, 95% CI 0.020–0.038). One cat was excluded as obstruction occurred during hospitalisation. The COVID-19 incidence of FIC was 5.4% (113/2081, 95% CI 0.044–0.64), non-obstructive FIC was 2.1% (70/2081, 95% CI 0.014–0.027) and UO was 3.4% (70/2081, 95% CI 0.026–0.042). The risk of non-obstructive FIC (P = 0.122; RR 0.652, 95% CI 0.387–1.096), UO (P = 0.382; RR 0.839, 95% CI 0.577–1.22) or either (P = 0.098; RR 0.773, 95% CI 0.572–1.044) was not significantly higher in the COVID-19 period than the pre-COVID-19 period. No clear association between COVID-19 movement restrictions and the incidence of UO or non-obstructive FIC was found within this retrospective population.

    Abstract Background: Whiplash is a common traffic-related injury with up to 50% of those affected continuing to experience symptoms one-year post-injury. Unfortunately, treatments have not proven highly effective in preventing and treating chronic symptomatology. The overall aim of this study was to test the effectiveness of an early values-based cognitive-behavioural therapeutic intervention (V-CBT) delivered within 6 months post-injury in preventing chronic symptomatology compared to wait list controls.
    Methods: The study was a two-armed randomized controlled trial. Participants (n = 91) experienced pain, disability and at least one psychological risk factor (e.g. enhanced pain-catastrophizing) after a whiplash trauma no later than 6 months prior. Participants were randomized to 10 sessions of V-CBT starting 1 week (group A) or 3 months (group B) post-randomization. The primary outcome was pain-related disability, while secondary outcomes were pain intensity, neck-pain related disability, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, pain-catastrophizing and kinesiophobia. These were evaluated at baseline and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months post-randomization.
    Results: At 3 months, group A demonstrated clinically important effects on all outcomes that were significantly better than group B (waitlist). When group B received the intervention at 6 months, they also demonstrated clinically important effects on all outcomes. However, there was a significant difference at 12 months for the primary outcome, in which group B increased their disability levels, while group A remained stable.
    Conclusions: While this indicates that an intervention window for early prevention of disability after whiplash injury may exist, this needs to be tested in a truly early intervention.
    Significance: An early Values-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapeutic intervention delivered within 6 months post-injury (mean days 117) was effective in reducing pain-related disability and psychological distress compared to the control group that received the intervention later after a three months wait-list period. The effects were sustained at 12 months follow-up. The early intervention was significantly more effective in reducing pain-related disability compared to the control group, indicating that an intervention window for early prevention of disability after whiplash injury may exist.

    Abstract: ... of long-term symptoms experienced by people suffering persistent symptoms for one or more months after ...

    Abstract Purpose: Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of COVID-19, refers to the constellation of long-term symptoms experienced by people suffering persistent symptoms for one or more months after SARS-CoV-2 infection. Blood biomarkers can be altered in long COVID patients; however, biomarkers associated with long COVID symptoms and their roles in disease progression remain undetermined. This study aims to systematically evaluate blood biomarkers that may act as indicators or therapeutic targets for long COVID.
    Methods: A systematic literature review in PubMed, Embase, and CINAHL was performed on 18 August 2022. The search keywords long COVID-19 symptoms and biomarkers were used to filter out the eligible studies, which were then carefully evaluated.
    Results: Identified from 28 studies and representing six biological classifications, 113 biomarkers were significantly associated with long COVID: (1) Cytokine/Chemokine (38, 33.6%); (2) Biochemical markers (24, 21.2%); (3) Vascular markers (20, 17.7%); (4) Neurological markers (6, 5.3%); (5) Acute phase protein (5, 4.4%); and (6) Others (20, 17.7%). Compared with healthy control or recovered patients without long COVID symptoms, 79 biomarkers were increased, 29 were decreased, and 5 required further determination in the long COVID patients. Of these, up-regulated Interleukin 6, C-reactive protein, and tumor necrosis factor alpha might serve as the potential diagnostic biomarkers for long COVID. Moreover, long COVID patients with neurological symptoms exhibited higher levels of neurofilament light chain and glial fibrillary acidic protein whereas those with pulmonary symptoms exhibited a higher level of transforming growth factor beta.
    Conclusion: Long COVID patients present elevated inflammatory biomarkers after initial infection. Our study found significant associations between specific biomarkers and long COVID symptoms. Further investigations are warranted to identify a core set of blood biomarkers that can be used to diagnose and manage long COVID patients in clinical practice.

    Abstract Aims: To provide an overview of how the European visual field standards for driving (specified in Commission Directive 2009/113/EC) are applied and determine whether individuals with visual field defects are treated equally across Europe.
    Methods: One ophthalmic expert from each of 32 European countries was invited to participate in an electronic survey. They were presented with threshold and Esterman perimetry results of 15 cases of visual field defects and asked to classify each case as either passed or failed in reference to their national standards. The results were compared with the European Driving Test Group 1 (EDT1), which is a new perimetry algorithm that adheres to the recommendations by the Eyesight Working Group. Fleiss' kappa was used to determine the inter-rater agreement.
    Results: Twenty-five countries responded. Three of 15 cases were passed by all. Full agreement on a failed case was not reached. Denmark graded most leniently and passed 12 cases. Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia graded most strictly and passed five cases. The Fleiss' kappa score was 0.52 (95% CI 0.49 to 0.55). Only Slovenia was in full agreement with the EDT1. Fifteen countries endorsed specific perimetric tests for assessing fitness to drive. Five of these also defined pass/fail criteria.
    Conclusion: The directive fails to establish a uniform approach to the visual field requirements, as evident by moderate pass/fail agreement between the national experts. Because the visual standards for driving are enforced differently, identical visual field loss can result in either revocation or approval of a driving license.

    The Iranian Dissident Community of the Late Ottoman Empire

    2018  

    Abstract: ... a homogenous or organized group of intelligentsia abroad, but one in which there existed overlapping – and ...

    Abstract In the mid-to-late nineteenth-century, the Ottoman Empire, and specifically its capital Istanbul, became the home and socio-intellectual base of some of the most renowned Iranian intellectuals and dissidents of Qajar Iran (1785-1925). These émigrés and scholars, from sites across the Ottoman Empire, produced much of the literature of reform and dissent that decades later would be regarded as some of the most important texts circulated in Iran prior to and during the Iranian Constitutional Revolution (1905 - 1911). Despite the fact that these Iranian émigrés spent considerable proportions of their careers in the Ottoman Empire, remarkably little information on their "Ottoman lives" is available. Drawing on the archives of the Ottoman Empire, Republican Turkey, Iran, Britain and France, this dissertation attempts to address this gap in the literature by examining the lives and careers of Iranian émigré-scholars and intellectuals in the late Ottoman Empire. It weaves together previously untapped resources in Persian, modern and Ottoman Turkish, French and English, and argues that late-nineteenth and early-twentieth century Iranian émigrés in the Ottoman Empire were mediating agents who facilitated the circulation of ideas in Iran, the Ottoman Empire and the Caucuses. The consideration of the formation of expansive sociointellectual networks within and across a region which spanned Iran, the Ottoman Empire and Caucuses thereby offers avenues for putting inter-imperial politics in the frame of writing Ottoman and Iranian history. Taken as a whole, the dissertation has two major goals. First, it asks how the consideration of Iranian émigré-intellectuals and dissidents in the Ottoman Empire can help develop our understanding of the social history of ideas in Iran in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It calls attention to the fact that in their consideration of prominent Iranian dissidents and émigrés in the late Ottoman Empire, historians of modern Iran have not appreciated the full influence of the larger Ottoman socio-historical milieu and the intellectual discourses which shaped the circumstances and ideas of these actors. It has therefore not been possible to contextualize their writings and productivity. As a corrective to this historiography, the approach in this dissertation has been to study the networks of alliance, modes of interaction and hierarchies of interest that determined the literary and intellectual output of these Iranian actors in the Ottoman Empire. Secondly, the dissertation argues that the study of these Iranian émigrés and intellectuals in the Ottoman Empire provides alternative contexts and sites of discourse through which late Ottoman society can be understood. The assessment of the alternative contexts occupied by the Iranian scholars, intellectuals and statesmen under consideration in this dissertation is an attempt to de-center nationalist readings of the late Ottoman Empire and evaluations relating to the output of these trans-regional actors. Set against this backdrop, it argues that although Ottoman and Turkish historiographies tend to treat Perso-Iranian actors as marginal if not virtually invisible figures in histories of the late Ottoman and early Republican periods, the stories of these émigrés are inseparable from larger narratives of late Ottoman state policies, Ottoman institutions, and the intellectual and cultural formulation of questions relating to religious identity, language reform, scientific progress and Turkish nationalism in the period under study. The dissertation is organized such that each chapter deals with a different aspect and figure within this group of Iranian émigrés and scholars. This approach exposes that the "Iranian community" of the Ottoman Empire was not a homogenous or organized group of intelligentsia abroad, but one in which there existed overlapping – and often competing – identities, and that networks of kinship were often undercut by other professional associations, interest groups and religious affiliations.
