The legend of the howling werewolf

From the President
[...]folks have shared how meaningful it has been to engage with our community in our monthly Zoom gatherings or how inspiring and informative our two webinar series have been. [...]it was an impactful plenary session or sectional that changed how we thought about our vocation or introduced us to an important new resource. [...]many of the meaningful experiences I have heard about are ones that don't show up in the program book: * A stranger assigned as a suitemate who has now become a beloved friend; * A conversation during a meal or coffee break that led to a fruitful creative collaboration; * A question asked at a session that led to a late-night discussion and partnership between church musicians from different traditions. To quote Isaac Watts (1674-1748), Hymn Society conferences are one place where I have never felt like \"a stranger [or] a guest, but like a child at home\" (\"My Shepherd will supply my need,\" 1719). The 2008 Conference in Winnipeg brought us together to dream about new directions for our organization - changes that resulted in our first capital campaign and the establishment of the Center for Congregational Song.

Affective dysregulation: a transdiagnostic research concept between ADHD, aggressive behavior conditions and borderline personality traits
In the last months, the German drama film “System Crasher” (German “Systemsprenger”) by Nora Fingscheidt was one of the most controversial and broadly discussed motion pictures being released and presented at several film festivals. It is about the troubled 9-year-old girl, Benni, defying the child welfare system with one single goal: to be back at home with her mother. But her mother is scared of her own daughter. Benni is “out-of-control”, showing frequent and severe temper outbursts comprising violent- and offending attacks to other people as well as full-throated screams and yelling. Nonetheless, this nimble-witted young bundle of energy has a different side: she is very needy and vulnerable. But, due to her inappropriate- and antisocial behavioral-tendencies, the child welfare system is unable to find a placement for her, and she is ‘falling out of the system’. Fortunately, not only in Germany, the film has launched a broad public discussion about this group of children and adolescents at the intersection of child and adolescent psychiatry and child/ youth welfare system. Aggressive symptoms are associated with a high rate of adverse childhood experiences, including severe traumatic bonding as one result of childhood maltreatment. In turn, aggressive behaviors in children and adolescents can be linked to a substantially higher risk of developing mental disorders, including internalizing psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, and unipolar depressive disorders as well as autoaggressive behaviors such as suicide attempts.

Trend analysis and forecast of daily reported incidence of hand, foot and mouth disease in Hubei, China by Prophet model
Hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD) is common among children below 5 years. HFMD has a high incidence in Hubei Province, China. In this study, the Prophet model was used to forecast the incidence of HFMD in comparison with the autoregressive-integrated moving average (ARIMA) model, and HFMD incidence was decomposed into trends, yearly, weekly seasonality and holiday effect. The Prophet model fitted better than the ARIMA model in daily reported incidence of HFMD. The HFMD incidence forecast by the Prophet model showed that two peaks occurred in 2019, with the higher peak in May and the lower peak in December. Periodically changing patterns of HFMD incidence were observed after decomposing the time-series into its major components. In specific, multi-year variability of HFMD incidence was found, and the slow-down increasing point of HFMD incidence was identified. Relatively high HFMD incidences appeared in May and on Mondays. The effect of Spring Festival on HFMD incidence was much stronger than that of other holidays. This study showed the potential of the Prophet model to detect seasonality in HFMD incidence. Our next goal is to incorporate climate variables into the Prophet model to produce an accurate forecast of HFMD incidence.

Systematic review of the impact of heatwaves on health service demand in Australia
Objectives
Heatwaves have been linked to increased levels of health service demand in Australia. This systematic literature review aimed to explore health service demand during Australian heatwaves for hospital admissions, emergency department presentations, ambulance call-outs, and risk of mortality.
Study design
A systematic review to explore peer-reviewed heatwave literature published from 2000 to 2020.
Data sources
Articles were reviewed from six databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, PsychINFO, ProQuest, Science Direct). Search terms included: heatwave, extreme heat, ambulance, emergency department, and hospital. Studies were included if they explored heat for a period of two or more consecutive days. Studies were excluded if they did not define a threshold for extreme heat or if they explored data only from workers compensation claims and major events.
Data synthesis
This review was prospectively registered with PROSPERO (#
CRD42021227395
). Forty-five papers were included in the final review following full-text screening. Following a quality assessment using the GRADE approach, data were extracted to a spreadsheet and compared. Significant increases in mortality, as well as hospital, emergency, and ambulance demand, were found across Australia during heatwave periods. Admissions for cardiovascular, renal, respiratory, mental and behavioural conditions exhibited increases during heatwaves. The most vulnerable groups during heatwaves were children (< 18 years) and the elderly (60+).
Conclusions
Heatwaves in Australia will continue to increase in duration and frequency due to the effects of climate change. Health planning is essential at the community, state, and federal levels to mitigate the impacts of heatwaves on health and health service delivery especially for vulnerable populations. However, understanding the true impact of heatwaves on health service demand is complicated by differing definitions and methodology in the literature. The Excess Heat Factor (EHF) is the preferred approach to defining heatwaves given its consideration of local climate variability and acclimatisation. Future research should explore evidence-based and spatially relevant heatwave prevention programs. An enhanced understanding of heatwave health impacts including service demand will inform the development of such programs which are necessary to promote population and health system resilience.
