A radical imagination for nursing: Generative insurrection,creative resistance

In the crucible of the pandemic, it has never before been clearer that, to ensure the relevance and even the survival of the discipline, nursing must cultivate a radical imagination. In the paper that follows, I trace the imperative for conjuring a radical imagination for nursing. In this fever dream for nursing futures, built on speculative visions of what could be, I draw on anarchist, abolitionist, posthuman, Black feminist, new materialist and other big ideas to plant seeds of generative insurrection and creative resistance. In thinking through a radical imagination, I unpack the significance of reparatory history for nursing, a discipline founded on normative whiteness. From there, I consider what it would take to shift the capitalist frame of healthcare to one of mutual aid, which requires the deep work of abolition. With a radical imagination that breaks down the enclosures that contain us through reparatory history, mutual aid and abolition, kinship becomes urgently possible.     

微单倍型在法医遗传学中的研究进展

微单倍型是一种可以应用于法医遗传学的新型遗传标记,具有多态性高、突变率低、无stutter产物、扩增片段短的特点。微单倍型可以有效检出混合斑,并对混合斑贡献者定量分析;对严重碎片化的DNA成功分型,应用于降解检材;作为始祖信息位点将全球大陆人群按照遗传结构进行有效划分;提供比短串联重复更多的信息量,帮助鉴定复杂亲缘关系;还可以为肿瘤身源鉴定、细胞系鉴定、产前亲子鉴定提供新的思路,因此具有非常广阔的应用前景。本文就微单倍型的上述应用方向进行论述,以期为法医学实践提供参考。     

East Anglian early Neolithic monument burial linked to contemporary Megaliths

Abstract

In the fourth millennium BCE a cultural phenomenon of monumental burial structures spread along the Atlantic façade. Megalithic burials have been targeted for aDNA analyses, but a gap remains in East Anglia, where Neolithic structures were generally earthen or timber. An early Neolithic (3762–3648?cal. BCE) burial monument at the site of Trumpington Meadows, Cambridgeshire, UK, contained the partially articulated remains of at least three individuals. To determine whether this monument fits a pattern present in megalithic burials regarding sex bias, kinship, diet and relationship to modern populations, teeth and ribs were analysed for DNA and carbon and nitrogen isotopic values, respectively. Whole ancient genomes were sequenced from two individuals to a mean genomic coverage of 1.6 and 1.2X and genotypes imputed. Results show that they were brothers from a small population genetically and isotopically similar to previously published British Neolithic individuals, with a level of genome-wide homozygosity consistent with a small island population sourced from continental Europe, but bearing no signs of recent inbreeding. The first Neolithic whole genomes from a monumental burial in East Anglia confirm that this region was connected with the larger pattern of Neolithic megaliths in the British Isles and the Atlantic façade.

Domestic Moods: Maternal Mental Health in Northern Vietnam

ABSTRACT

In this article I propose the notion of domestic mood as an important concept for mental health research. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted among women living in Hanoi, Vietnam, I explore the maternal mental health problems that the women reported, focusing particularly on the household tensions and conflicts that made the entry into motherhood a distressful experience. To develop the concept of domestic mood, I draw on Martin Heidegger’s work, particularly his claim that human being is always a being-with. Comprehending maternal mental health problems, I argue, requires that we pay attention not only to individual states of mind, but also to the ways that domestic environments shape people’s moods. Taking this analytical approach, I show how the mental health states of pregnant women and new mothers in Vietnam were inseparable from their husbands’ structural vulnerabilities within kin groups.     

精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属病耻感与情绪行为问题的关系

目的 探讨精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属病耻感与情绪行为问题的关系,以及自我效能和心理弹性在病耻感与情绪行为问题关系中的中介效应.方法 选取山东省某精神卫生中心前来门诊就诊及住院的精神疾病患者未成年子女104人作为研究对象,采用Link贬低-歧视感知量表、一般自我效能量表（GSES）、心理弹性量表（RS）、长处和困难问卷（SDQ）进行调查.结果 精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属的情绪行为问题分别在性别、居住地、就读学校和是否独生子女上存在显著差异性（P＜0.05,P＜0.01）;精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属SDQ总分与病耻感呈显著正相关（P＜0.01）,与自我效能和心理弹性均呈显著负相关（均P＜0.01）;病耻感分别与心理弹性和自我效能均呈显著负相关（均P＜0.01）;心理弹性与自我效能呈显著正相关（P＜0.01）;自我效能和心理弹性在病耻感与情绪行为问题之间起到完全中介作用（P＜0.05,P＜0.01）.结论 感知到病耻感的精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属存在情绪行为问题,而自我效能和心理弹性在病耻感与精神疾病患者未成年一级亲属情绪行为问题关系中起完全中介作用.     

Streamlining the decision-making process for international DNA kinship matching using Worldwide allele frequencies and tailored cutoff log10LR thresholds

The identification of human remains belonging to missing persons is one of the main challenges for forensic genetics. Although other means of identification can be applied to missing person investigations, DNA is often extremely valuable to further support or refute potential associations. When reference DNA samples cannot be collected from personal items belonging to a missing person, a direct DNA identification cannot be carried out. However, identifications can be made indirectly using DNA from the missing person’s relatives. The ranking of likelihood ratio (LR) values, which measure the fit of a missing person for any given pedigree, is often the first step in selecting candidates in a DNA database. Although implementing DNA kinship matching in a national environment is feasible, many challenges need to be resolved before applying this method to an international configuration. In this study, we present an innovative and intuitive method to perform international DNA kinship matching and facilitate the comparison of DNA profiles when the ancestry is unknown or unsure and/or when different marker sets are used. This straightforward method, which is based on calculations performed with the DNA matching software BONAPARTE, Worldwide allele frequencies and tailored cutoff log₁₀LR thresholds, allows for the classification of potential candidates according to the strength of the DNA evidence and the predicted proportion of adventitious matches. This is a powerful method for streamlining the decision-making process in missing person investigations and DVI processes, especially when there are low numbers of overlapping typed STRs. Intuitive interpretation tables and a decision tree will help strengthen international data comparison for the identification of reported missing individuals discovered outside their national borders.     

Jeffrey Baldwin: A thematic analysis of media coverage and implications for social work practice

Jeffery Baldwin died in 2002 in the care of his maternal grandparents. The case received intense media attention at various times over an almost eight-year period. Along with other public documents, the media coverage permits an analysis of the practice errors by Child Protection Services that are related to the failure to protect Jeffrey. Nine key themes emerged around core child protection practices: opening a file; the role of prior knowledge; issues related to assessment; knowing the child and their needs; the role of culture; case supervision; the child as the client; the enmeshment of child abuse; and the role of stability and healing. This analysis offers key lessons to be learned from such cases.     

Kinship and behavior in nonhuman primates

Nonhuman primates show significantly more social interaction with matrilineal kin than nonkin. There is little evidence for kin recognition per se, and long-term association, fostered by long periods of biological dependency, strong sociality, and impressive cognitive capacities, is sufficient to account for the correlation between kinship and sociality. Association, as a proximal mechanism, in no way detracts from the adaptive significance of sociality strongly biased toward kin.This work was supported by National Science Foundation Grant BNS 86 16691 and, in part, by NIH grant RR 00165 to the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center.
