    Abstract Orchestrating Public Opinion for the first time examines in detail musics persuasive role in political ads for US presidential campaigns. Studies on political ads tend to consider music something of an afterthought, innocuous accompaniment for a narrator. In this book Christiansen takes an opposing view, arguing that music is crucial to an ads construction. In some cases, it is even determinative: that is, all other elements-images, voiceover, sound effects, written text, and so on-can be circumscribed by and interpreted in relation to music. This book presents for the first time correspondence between campaign officials and ad agencies, storyboards, and music scores related to ads such as Eisenhowers I Like Ike or Reagans Morning in America.Engaging music seriously through detailed musical analysis as well as exploring musics relation to visual and textual elements in ads, Orchestrating brings together disparate approaches toward understanding the surreptitious rhetoric of music

    Title translation Late effects following breast cancer treatment.
    Abstract Improved survival after breast cancer treatment comes at a cost in the form of increased risk of late effects. A number of these are summarised in this review. The late effects can be divided in 1) late effects after locoregional treatment, e.g., lymphoedema, impaired shoulder movement, and pain; 2) consequences of systemic treatment, e.g. polyneuropathy, problems related to premature menopause, and increased risk of cardio-vascular disease; and 3) general late effects, commonly seen across all cancer types, including fatigue, insomnia, and cognitive impairment. There is a need for more knowledge about risk factors, prognoses, and the most effective treatments.

    Abstract Food and non-alcoholic beverage (hereafter: food) marketing is prevalent in digital media and predominantly for foods high in fats, salt and/or sugar (HFSS). However, little is known about food marketing in videogame livestreaming platforms - a hybridisation of social and gaming media where individuals can watch influencers (i.e., streamers) play videogames. No studies have explored food cues within the streamed content or content likely to be viewed by adolescents. The current study analysed the food cues in Twitch (the leading videogame livestreaming platform) videos (n = 52, 52h) uploaded to the platform during October 2020-September 2021 by influencers likely to be popular with adolescents. Food cues (n = 133, 2.56 per hour) were coded for exposure (e.g., display type, healthfulness) and power (e.g., presentation) using a World Health Organization (WHO) protocol and the UK Nutrient Profile Model. The majority (70.7%) of cues were HFSS, with energy drinks being the most featured food category (62.4%). Most cues were branded (80.5%) and featured as either product placement (44.4%) or a looping image (40.6%). Influencers were more likely to consume healthy (88.5%) than HFSS items (33.4%). The mean duration of each food cue was 20 min and 25 s per hour. Only 2.3% of cues had an advertising disclosure. This study provides the first empirical assessment of food cues on Twitch in livestreamed content likely to be popular with adolescents and has implications for digital food marketing policy development.

    Abstract Food marketing in television and digital media negatively affects appetitive sensations and eating behaviour in children, but effects are less well understood for outdoor food advertising and adults. This research used Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to explore associations between exposures to food advertising in various contexts (television, digital, outdoors) and adults' hunger and craving for highly advertised food categories. Over one week, participants provided ratings of cravings for types of food (fast food, soft drinks, snacks/confectionery, other) and hunger on a smartphone app up to six times per day when they saw a food advertisement (reactive assessment) and at random intervals (random assessment). Fifty-four participants (70.4 % female; 21.24 ± 3.84 years) provided 1223 assessments (24.7 % reactive, 75.3 % random). Data were analysed in R using multilevel multivariable linear regression models. Participants reported feeling hungrier (X

    Abstract Bearth, Cousin, and Siegrist (2014) Perception of Artificial Sweetener Scale (PASS) has been widely used but has yet to be subject to thorough psychometric evaluation. The current study aimed to assess the factor structure and internal reliability of the scale, as well as assess its predictive utility. In a pre-registered study, 489 participants (age range 18-86 y) completed the attitudes towards sweeteners scale and a survey assessing their sweetener consumption over the past month. Initial confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable to poor fit of the scale largely due to three reverse coded items. Upon their removal model fit was excellent and McDonald's Omega values showed good internal reliability for all subscales. Zero inflated (hurdle) negative binomial regression revealed that higher scores on the risk subscale, lower scores on the benefit subscale, and older age were associated with avoidance of sweeteners. Of those who did consume sweeteners, greater perceived benefit was associated with increased consumption. The current study recommends that a shorter version of the PASS (PASS-23) should be used in future research with this scale showing good psychometric properties. Furthermore, it suggests that if sweetener over sugar consumption is to be encouraged, perceived risk and benefits should be targeted in public health messaging.

    Abstract Background: To date, few assessment instruments have been developed to quantitatively measure the mental health status of migrant populations specifically. This paper describes the development and preliminary assessment of the 'Good Life in the Community Scale' (GLiCS). GLiCS is a wellbeing measure for migrant women in high-income settings that was coproduced with experts by experience across two phases.
    Methods: The study used a mixed-methods approach and was composed of two phases.
    Phase i: 88 initial items generated using qualitative data collected in a previous study were reduced to 42 through consultation with expert advisory panels, based on whether each item was considered understandable and relevant Phase II: these 42 items were piloted with a sample of migrant women (N = 109). A preliminary exploratory factor analysis was conducted using Oblique rotation. Internal consistency was measured using McDonald's ω. Convergent validity was tested by correlating the GLiCS with the Oxford Capabilities Questionnaire Mental Health (OxCAP-MH), WHO-5 wellbeing index and Objective Social Outcomes Index (SIX). Incremental validity was tested using hierarchical regression analysis to ascertain the effect on the WHO-5 wellbeing index of: age, migration status, SIX, OxCAP-MH and GLiCS. Known groups validity, the ability a measure has to discriminate between groups likely to differ on the variables of interest, was tested between the different migrant categories using a simple between subjects ANOVA.
    Results: Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a 17-item (three-factor: (i) access to resources, (ii) belonging and contributing, (iii) independence) scale with high internal consistency (McDonald's ω = 0.91). Convergent and incremental validity were also evidenced.
    Conclusion: The GLiCS has demonstrable good internal consistency and construct validity, and it presents a promising wellbeing measure for better understanding the experience of migrant women.

    Abstract Objective: Mothers of premature infants are more likely to develop anxiety during the first postpartum year than mothers of term infants. However, commonly used measures of anxiety were developed for general adult populations and may produce spurious, over-inflated scores when used in a postpartum context. Although perinatal-specific tools such as the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale [PSAS] offer a promising alternative form of measurement, it is not clear whether the measure performs similarly in mothers of premature infants as it does in mothers of term infants. The objective of the current study was to identify whether items on the Postpartum Specific Anxiety Scale - Research Short Form (PSAS-RSF) are being interpreted in the same manner in mothers of term infants and mothers of premature infants. Mothers (N = 320) participated in an international on-line survey between February 2022 and March 2023 (n = 160 mothers of premature infants, n = 160 mothers of term infants) where they completed the PSAS-RSF. Data were analysed using a measurement invariance analysis to assess whether constructs of the PSAS-RSF are performing in a similar manner across the two groups.
    Results: Whilst the PSAS-RSF achieved configural invariance and so retains its four-factor structure, metric invariance was not reached and so items are being interpreted differently in mothers of premature infants. Items concerning infant-separation, finance, and anxieties surrounding infant health are potentially problematic. Future research must now modify the PSAS-RSF for specific use in mothers of premature infants, to ensure measurement of anxiety in this population is valid.

    Abstract Introduction: It is well established that a premature birth increases the likelihood of developing anxiety during the postpartum period, and that the environment of the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) might be a contributing factor. Mothers of earlier premature infants may experience these anxieties to a higher degree compared to mothers of later premature infants. The aim of this study was to explore the association between prematurity and postpartum-specific anxiety, and the relationship between postpartum-specific anxiety and stress in the NICU.
    Materials and methods: Mothers (
    Results: For the PSAS-RSF, Practical Infant Care Anxieties (
    Conclusions: Our findings highlight the need for interventions for mothers with premature infants, which specifically target anxieties reflected in the PSAS-RSF, such as routine care and increasing maternal self-efficacy.

    Abstract Background: Knowledge is sparse on the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D) on surgical outcomes after breast cancer surgery. This study investigated the association between T2D and risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery, and evaluated the biological interaction between T2D and co-morbidities.
    Methods: Using the Danish Breast Cancer Group clinical database, a cohort of all Danish women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer during 1996-2022 was created. All patients underwent mastectomy or breast-conserving surgery. Information on prevalent T2D was collected from Danish medical and prescription registries. Surgical complications were defined as hospital diagnoses for medical or surgical complications developing within 30 days after primary breast cancer surgery. The 30-day cumulative incidence proportion of complications was calculated, and Cox regression was used to estimate HRs. Interaction contrasts were computed to determine the additive interaction between T2D and co-morbidities on the incidence rate of complications.
    Results: Among 98 589 women with breast cancer, 6332 (6.4%) had T2D at breast cancer surgery. Overall, 1038 (16.4%) and 9861 (10.7%) women with and without T2D developed surgical complications, yielding cumulative incidence proportions of 16 (95% c.i. 15 to 17) and 11 (10 to 11)% respectively, and a HR of 1.43 (95% c.i. 1.34 to 1.53). The incidence rate of surgical complications explained by the interaction of T2D with moderate and severe co-morbidity was 21 and 42%, respectively.
    Conclusion: Women with breast cancer and T2D had a higher risk of complications after primary breast cancer surgery than those without T2D. A synergistic effect of T2D and co-morbidity on surgical complications can explain this association.
