The Comparative Efficacy of Conventional and Crown-Down Root Canal Preparation Techniques in Relation to the Extrusion of Apical Debris
Authors: Arifian Rahmat , Anang Kusbianto
Published: October 2023

Numerous scientific investigations have been undertaken to assess the efficacy of standard root canal preparation methods and the crown-down procedure in mitigating the ejection of apical debris. The aforementioned research examines multiple facets, encompassing the efficacy of canal cleaning, the potential for debris extrusion, and their influence on the outcome of root canal therapy. The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of conventional and crown-down root canal preparation methods in relation to the extrusion of apical debris. The literature search used a lot of different databases, like PubMed, Web of Sciences, EMBASE, Cochrane Libraries, and Google Scholar, to look into how well traditional and crown-down root canal preparation methods work for getting debris out of the root canal. Traditional methods of root canal preparation have been extensively employed in the field of endodontics. While root canal cleaning and shaping techniques have demonstrated efficacy, there is still a potential danger of apical debris extrusion. Several factors contribute to the level of risk involved in dental procedures. These factors encompass the use of instruments, the amount of pressure applied during preparation, the effectiveness of irrigation, and the level of experience possessed by the dentist. In conclusion, the efficacy of both methodologies is contingent upon various aspects, including the level of expertise possessed by the dentist, the specific instruments employed, the irrigation technique employed, and the thoroughness of the case examination. The particulars of each case and the dentist's personal preference should guide the choice of either procedure.

Authors: Dea Albertina  , Akmal Hasan  , Tiffany Gabriele  , Aisyah Andina Rasyid
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Clear aligner therapy (CAT) has gained popularity as an esthetic alternative to traditional braces. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being integrated into CAT treatment planning, promising improved accuracy and efficiency. This study aimed to compare the accuracy and efficiency of AI-driven treatment planning with conventional methods in Bandung, Indonesia.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted involving 100 patients treated with CAT in Bandung. Fifty patients were treated using conventional methods (CM) by experienced orthodontists, while the other 50 were planned with AI-driven software. Accuracy was assessed by comparing the planned tooth movement with the actual outcome using Little's Irregularity Index (LII) and Peer Assessment Rating (PAR) scores at the end of treatment. Efficiency was evaluated by comparing the time required for treatment planning and the number of refinements needed.
Results: The AI-driven group demonstrated significantly lower LII scores (p<0.05) and higher PAR scores (p<0.05) compared to the CM group, indicating greater accuracy in achieving the planned tooth movement. Additionally, the AI-driven group showed a significant reduction in treatment planning time (p<0.05) and fewer refinement aligners required (p<0.05) compared to the CM group.
Conclusion: AI-driven treatment planning in CAT demonstrated superior accuracy and efficiency compared to conventional methods in Bandung, Indonesia. AI has the potential to optimize treatment outcomes and reduce treatment time, offering a valuable tool for orthodontists.

Authors: Savović Miodrag , Pajović Marija , Antić Ana , Vacić Nebojša , Zlatanović Zvonko
Published: October 2023

Ethics and morality are social phenomena that are formed by the way people interact with each other, and this is further determined by the socioeconomic and political structure of society, cultural and socioeconomic relations. The goal of this work is to analyze the answers to the survey questions and draw conclusions about morality as a product of social consciousness. The research included 100 respondents who answered about morality as a product of social awareness in the area of the city of Nis in the period from October 20 until November 10, 2017. The questions were analyzed according to the gender, age, education, work status, and income of respondents. The test results are presented according to the answers to individual survey questions. The results of the research showed that most of the respondents are not satisfied with their standard of living in relation to the standard of living in Serbia. The largest number of respondents have insufficient income and a budget that is small for larger investments and insufficient for adaptations in the household. The majority of respondents believe that they are not obliged to help others, while on the other hand, there are those who would like to help but lack financial resources for themselves, so in such a situation they do not think about others. The general conclusion is that morality is at the lowest rungs of the social hierarchy. People who generally have good incomes, as opposed to people whose incomes are insufficient, behave more freely than those who do not.
The Web 2.0 social media as a space for the creation of classical music experiences in the time of the pandemic: The case of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra
Authors: Leković Biljana , Nikolić Sanela
Published: October 2023

This paper shows how classical music left its canon-guaranteed spaces of the concert hall and stepped toward a broader community of audience using the virtual sphere of Web 2.0 social media tools, on the example of the work of the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra. We analyze how this orchestra uses social media to present and promote its repertoire and work during the period of pandemic measures and restrictions. The analysis indicates that in all its social media activities the orchestra was guided by the preservation of an autonomous aesthetic quality of classical music, as its value must remain present in whatever tools and formats an art institution presents itself. Various tactics of using social media tools were the opportunity to position classical music from the art of performance into a system of mediated and information-distributed culture along with the development of participatory turn as a wider audience engagement in classical music through producing social media user-generated content. The orchestra's use of social media during the time of the pandemic reflects several ways of changing classical music practice: connecting to new audiences in new ways, moving out of the concert hall, redefining the community relevance of a classical music institution, and initiating paths for collaboration between performers and the audiences.
Foley gesture: Towards a theory of acousmatic foley
Authors: Pinheiro Sara
Published: October 2023

The research project "Acousmatic Foley" addresses common traits between foley art and Concrete Music, based on the idea that the foley artist is an acousmatic listener and, in turn, that acousmatic listening is a form of fiction. In this line, the study argues that both fields have similar treatment of the "sonorous object". For this purpose, the research builds on two lines of thought: the "son-en-scène" and the "mise-en-son". Firstly, the "son-en-scène" focuses on the sounds of the filmic miseen-scène (and its sound props), from very early cases to contemporary instances. The focus on these sound-props provides a perspective of sound for film that emphasizes its role as a tool of fiction and, thus, foley as the craft that leads to that experience. Secondly, "mise-en-son" sheds light on the making of the sound itself by exploring the concept of musical gesture. Either in contexts in which the musical gesture is visible (as with instruments), more cryptic (as with electronic devices), or completely delegated (as in acousmatic music), gesture can be seen a form of agency. Given that foley consists of maneuvering a sound-prop, gesture is as central to foley as it is to musical practices. This paper focus on the idea that gesture carries the same conception as the "sonorous object", that of an "intentional unit". In line with this, and in particular when of acousmatic nature, the research argues that the sonorous object is analogous to the sound-prop. In the end, these two lines of thought (son-en-scènce and mise-en-son) bridge the poietic and esthetic, as in Nattiez's semiotic distinction, towards an experience of "acousmatic foley".
Factors influencing Voluntary Tax Compliance Among Small and Medium sized Enterprises in Kenya
Authors: Chelangat Shirley
Published: October 2023

Tax compliance is essential for generating revenue to fund government activities and public services. Despite the efforts of the Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA), compliance remains a challenge due to factors such as complex tax systems, high compliance costs, and negative taxpayer attitudes. The study examines the factors that influence voluntary tax compliance, including information availability, tax compliance costs, and individual attitudes and perceptions. It delves into tax compliance theories, such as the Contingency Theory of Taxation and the Ability to Pay Theory, shedding light on their impact on organizational behavior and financial performance. Empirical evidence from previous studies is discussed, highlighting the importance of tax education and the perception of tax fairness in promoting compliance. The study also identifies challenges specific to Kenya, such as a complex tax system, high compliance costs, and negative attitudes toward taxation, which hinder compliance, particularly among SMEs. It underscores the efforts made by the Kenyan Revenue Authority (KRA) to enhance compliance but acknowledges the persistence of challenges. The abstract concludes by emphasizing the need for a comprehensive understanding of tax compliance to ensure an equitable and efficient tax system that supports economic growth and national development in Kenya and other developing nations.
A luxuskritika problémája a középkorban
Authors: Szlancsok Margit
Published: October 2023

A középkori luxuskritika célja egy előírás-rendszer kidolgozása volt az emberek külső megjelenésének és életmódjának meghatározott korlátok között tartására. A fényűzést az egyház és a világi hatalom is szabályozni próbálta. A városok költségszabályozó törvényeikkel és a ruharendeletekkel a társadalmi rend fenntartását és a gazdasági stabilitást akarták biztosítani. Az egyház a hiúság, a hivalkodás, a bujaság és a tékozlás bűnét látta a luxusban, ezért ítélte el. A koldulórendek létrejötte új korszakot nyitott a fényűzés elleni harcban. A földi javak megvetése, a világi hívságok elutasítása remek kiindulópont volt a luxus elleni küzdelemben. A prédikátorok beszédjeikben bírálták a nők díszes viseletét, a pazar ünnepségeket, a fényes esküvőket. Azonban nem érték be ennyivel. A prédikáció eredményét lemérendő, minden beszéd végén lángra gyulladtak a hiúságok máglyái, ahol megsemmisültek a kárhoztatott luxuscikkek és a szerencsejátékok.A luxuskritika megoldást keresett a reneszánszban kialakult (politikai, társadalmi, gazdasági és hitéleti) válságjelenségekre. A koldulórendi szerzetesek az Isten által teremtett rend megtartását, az evangéliumi eszmény követését javasolták. Indítványuk azonban az életet itt a Földön élvezni akaró polgárok számára elfogadhatatlan volt, így csak átmeneti sikert arattak.

It should be noted that the fight against crime is one of the most important directions of the state’s international cooperation. At the same time, it should be noted that the mentioned cooperation with international structures is carried out within the framework of relevant legal acts, a part of which is the acts related to the treatment of minors. The article is generally devoted to international standards of treatment of juvenile convicts. The research was carried out based on the analysis of the available statistical data and although we can state that the number of punishments and sanctions related to the deprivation of liberty for minors has decreased, but the level of juvenile delinquency may also increase along with the current increase in crime. Due to the above circumstances, an attempt was made by the author to combine and compare internationally defined standards and domestic legislation.

The article examines the prohibitions of genocide established by Islamic doctrine and Muslim traditions. With a view to further qualification of the actions of the military and political leadership of Azerbaijan, the factual circumstances of the acts that took place in Nagorno-Karabakh since December 2022 are analyzed. Legal analysis of the elements of the crime of genocide. International legal and organizational problems of investigation, as well as problems of criminal responsibility of representatives of the military and political leadership of Azerbaijan for committing the crime of genocide of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh are analyzed. As examples, parallels are drawn between the relevant judgements of the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia, the International Tribunal for Rwanda and the International Criminal Court (hereinafter ICC) for similar acts. The institution of immunity of State officials for genocide is under consideration. Since, at present, it is only possible to bring to justice the military and political leadership of another State at the international level, and the ICC potentially has jurisdiction to try genocide cases, Consideration is being given to the provisions of the Rome Statute of the ICC on the conditions for admission and investigation of crimes against the peace and security of mankind, including the crime of genocide.

Turning the Exception into the Rule
Authors: Celoria Eleonora , Passalacqua Virginia
Published: October 2023

In January 2023, Italy’s new government adopted a reform that heavily curtailed immigrant rights to speed up return procedures. Between September and October, several judgments issued by the Catania Tribunal declared the reform in violation of EU law. The judgments led to backlash, with PM Meloni and other members of the government accusing them of being politically motivated. While such political attacks on judges must always be condemned, they are particularly unwarranted given that the Catania Tribunal’s judges were correct in finding the new Italian border procedures incompatible with EU law.

Authors: Rašević Mirjana
Published: October 2023

Pred vama је prvi tematski broj časopisa Stanovništvo u njegovoj, više od tri decenije dugoj, tradiciji izlaženja. Posvećen је Demografskim karakteristikama seoskog stanovništva Jugoslavije iz najmanje dva razloga. То је, pre svega, tema kojoj, u dosadašnjim istraživanjima populacionih procesa, nije posvećena dužna pažnja. Sem toga, u stručnoj i političkoj javnosti sve se vise govori о potrebi revitalizacije sela, za koju је poznavanje demografske osnove neophodna pretpostavka.

Radovi i prilozi u ovom broju su inicirani od strane redakcije. Pritom smo imali u vidu kako značaj pojedinih podtema, tako i istraživačka opredeljenja autora. Otuda је sadržajem obuhvaćen niz pitanja od onih metodološke prirode, preko sagledavanja osobina razvitka stanovništva sela, uz izdvajanje osnovnih problema, do otvaranja pitanja vezanih za mere i akcije koje bi bile neophodne da država preduzima u cilju obnavljanja i jačanja demografskih potencijala sela.

Predajući ovaj broj časopisa Stanovništvo u javnost zahvaljujemo se svima onima koji su omogućili njegovo izlaženje; pre svega autorima, kao i Ministarstvu za nauku i tehnologiju Vlade Republike Srbije i Saveznom ministarstvu za razvoj, nauku i životnu sredinu. U nadi da ćе ovako koncipiran broj biti prihvaćen, redakcija ima nameru da i ubuduće pokreće tematske brojeve časopisa Stanovništvo.

Association Analysis between Maternal Serum Biomarkers and Fetal Congenital Heart Disease
Authors: Jiang Hong , Lin Yuan , He Xinqin
Published: October 2023

Objective: To investigate the association of maternal serum biomarkers alpha fetal protein (AFP), β-human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) and unconjugated estriol 3 (uE3) in the second trimester with fetal congenital heart disease (CHD) in low risk populations during the screening of Down's syndrome. Methods: 109 cases diagnosed with fetal CHD in the second trimester by fetal echocardiography were enrolled as the CHD group. Pregnancy- and gestational-age matched 344 cases without fetal CHD were used as the control group. The values of maternal serum biomarkers HCG, AFP and uE3 were tested and the association with CHD was analyzed. Results: The means of HCG multiple of median (MoM) and AFP MoM were higher, while the mean of uE3 MoM was lower in the CHD group than those of the control group (p < 0.05). The number of cases with HCG MoM ≥85% quantile, AFP MoM ≥85% quantile was more, while that with uE3 MoM ≤15% quantile was less in the CHD group than that of the control group (p < 0.05). The univariate logistic regression analysis showed that fetal CHD was associated with high values of HCG MoM and AFP MoM and low value of uE3 MoM as well as the HCG MoM ≥85% quantile, AFP MoM ≥85% quantile and the uE3 MoM ≤15% quantile. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that HCG MoM ≥85% quantile and AFP MoM ≥85% quantile or the uE3 ≤15% quantile were the independent factors of fetal CHD. In addition, the risk of fetal CHD was higher when one situation existed among the HCG MoM ≥85% quantile, AFP MoM ≥85% quantile and the uE3 MoM ≤15% quantile. The risk of fetal CHD was much higher when both the HCG MoM ≥85% quantile and AFP MoM ≥85% quantile existed or both the HCG MoM ≥85% quantile and the uE3 MoM existed ≤15% quantile. Conclusions: Second trimester maternal serum biomarkers may be useful indicators for fetal evaluation for CHD to screen positive pregnancies without identified chromosomal defects.

Authors:   University of Applied Science Hamburg / Faculty of Economy and Social, Department of Nursing and Management, Alexanderstraße 1, 20099 Hamburg, Germany, Blanck-Köster Katrin , Gaidys Uta , Roes Martina ,   University of Witten/Herdecke/ Faculty of Health; Department of Nursing Science, Alfred-Herrhausen-Straße 50, 58455 Witten/Herdecke, Germany
Published: October 2023

Aim: The study aims to present and analyze the daily practices of Advanced Practice Nurses in hospitals and to reconstruct the constitutive spaces of action, especially in the context of clinical leadership. In doing so, a detailed picture of the prevailing social practices will be described. Research Question: How can Clinical Leadership be interpreted in dynamic work processes and their interaction in the hospital? Methods: An ethnographic research design including participant observation of nine Advanced Practice Nurses in two hospitals was conducted during the period 5/2020 to 8/2020. Data analysis included sequence analysis of participant observations. The study was classified as ethically unobjectionable. Results: This study shows how Advanced Practice Nurses connect people in the hospital through spacing processes and how they influence clinical care processes. The findings paint a detailed picture of the recurring everyday social practices of advanced practice nurses that are interwoven in a bundle and help to constitute and occupy social space. The results are presented in the Doing social space model. Conclusion: This process of reflection helps nurses and other health professionals to critically examine the conventions and rules that underlie their actions in clinical care and to explain the reasons for their actions. The findings should be of great interest as the actions of nurses can be explained and understood from both practice-based theoretical approaches and a spatial sociological perspective.
A Review on Revolutionize Drug Delivery with Spansules
Authors: A. Bhadoriya , T. Shukla
Published: October 2023

This article provides a brief overview of Spansules, a novel drug delivery system. Spansules are designed to release medication in a controlled manner, providing a sustained and consistent therapeutic effect. This delivery method involves encapsulating the drug in a special coating that dissolves slowly, allowing the medication to be released gradually over time. Spansules have been shown to improve patient compliance and reduce side effects associated with traditional drug delivery methods. Spansules are classified as an Advanced Drug Delivery System due to their ability to facilitate controlled and sustained release of medication over an extended duration. The delivery system in question has the capability to maintain a consistent plasma drug concentration across a broad time spectrum. This attribute can enhance the effectiveness of treatment and mitigate the likelihood of adverse reactions. Spansules can be utilized for the delivery of multiple drugs in a single dosage form, while also providing sustained release. The Spansules product offers a multi-drug regimen capability, which enables the administration of multiple drugs in a single dosage form, providing added benefits. Spansules are a type of biphasic release drug delivery system that enables the administration of medication in both immediate and sustained release forms. In situations where a patient necessitates prompt alleviation of symptoms followed by sustained management over an extended duration, these systems can prove to be advantageous. In general, Spansules represent a versatile and efficacious mechanism for drug delivery that can offer numerous advantages to both patients and healthcare providers. Overall, Spansules represent a promising advancement in the field of drug delivery.

A Herbal Approach towards Skin Diseases: An Updated Review
Authors: A. Koshta , A. Sharma
Published: October 2023

Skin is both the biggest organ and the first line of defense of the human body, which covers the outside of the body. Worldwide, 34% of occupational disorders have been identified as skin diseases. The most prevalent type of illness that affects people of all ages is skin disease. Both developed and developing nations are significantly burdened by skin problems in terms of health. Skin disorders that damage the skin, such cancer, herpes, eczema, psoriasis, and cellulite, can strike a large number of people. These disorders are frequently treated using certain wild plants and their components. It has been shown time and time again that plants and other forms of traditional medicine are essential in the treatment of skin disorders. They have been used to treat skin diseases in many countries across the globe, where they play an important role in basic healthcare. Even though modern medicine has come a long way in recent decades, plants still play an important part in healthcare. Our most successful medicine source has historically been natural products. Most skin diseases are treated using a variety of herbal herbs. Natural medicine is believed to be cheap and secure. Some potent therapeutic herbs can totally cure or significantly lessen infections and dermatological conditions. The study's primary objective is to recommend treatments for human skin disorders, but it also seeks to highlight the need of doing in-depth research on medicinal plants in order to discover potential treatments. This review emphasized the function and value of specific medicinal herbs in treating various skin conditions.
A Succinct Analysis of Hypertension and its Management Strategies
Authors: P. Gupta , A. K. Parashar
Published: October 2023

Hypertension, which is generally known as high blood pressure, holds the utmost significance as a flexible risk factor for overall population worldwide. It is directly related with an increased risk of cardiac disorders. Unfortunately, under half of the sufferer of high BP don’t know about their condition, and the one who know, they are either untreated or not treated properly. However, successful management of this disease has the potential to crucially reduce the worldwide burden of disease and deaths due to hypertension. The cause of hypertension includes a typical reciprocity of natural and physiopathological factors that influence many structures, in addition to genetic predilection. When patients of hypertension are being evaluated with hypertension, this is important to conduct exact and standard BP measurements, assess their predicted risk other heart related problems, determine if there is any indication of organ damage, identify if there is another reason for hypertension, and consider the simultaneous existence of two diseases like cardiac and renal disease. Healthy life management plays a crucial part in lowering BP and inhibiting the occurrence of hypertension and its associated cardiovascular sequelae. These modifications encompass dietary adjustments, increased physical activity, weight management, and other healthy lifestyle choices. Drug therapy or medication is highly effectual in lowering blood pressure and hold back the adverse cardiovascular outcomes in a large no. of patients.
DISEÑO Y OPTIMIZACIÓN AVANZADA DE CONTROLADORES PID ANALÓGICOS PARA SISTEMAS DE POSICIONAMIENTO PRECISO.
Authors: Rosales Anthony , Asencio Torres Marly Marcela , Suarez Soza Jerick Robert , Terán Castro Ariel Vinicio , Calixto Ascencio Ariel Enrique
Published: October 2023

Este proyecto se centra en el control de posición en motores de corriente continua (CC) utilizando un controlador proporcional-integral-derivativo (PID). El control de posición es fundamental en sistemas industriales y de automatización. El PID analógico se utiliza para regular la posición de un motor DC, tomando como entrada una señal de referencia que representa la posición deseada y una señal de realimentación que mide la posición actual. El PID calcula el error entre estas dos señales y genera una señal de control para corregir el error. El objetivo del control de posición es mantener la posición deseada del motor DC de manera precisa y sin oscilaciones. El PID logra esto mediante la retroalimentación constante de la posición actual y ajustando la señal de control en consecuencia.
This project focuses on position control in direct current (CC) motors using a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller. Position control is essential in industrial and automation systems. The analog PID is used to regulate the position of a DC motor, taking as input a reference signal that represents the desired position and a feedback signal that measures the current position. The PID calculates the error between these two signals and generates a control signal to correct the error. The objective of position control is to maintain the desired position of the DC motor precisely and without oscillations. The PID achieves this by constantly feedback of the current position and adjusting the control signal accordingly.

Critical configurations for three projective views
Authors: Bråtelund Martin
Published: October 2023

The problem of structure from motion is concerned with recovering the 3-dimensional structure of an object from a set of 2-dimensional images taken by unknown cameras. Generally, all information can be uniquely recovered if enough images and point correspondences are provided, yet there are certain cases where unique recovery is impossible; these are called \emph{critical configurations}. We use an algebraic approach to study the critical configurations for three projective cameras. We show that all critical configurations lie on the intersection of quadric surfaces, and classify exactly which intersections constitute a critical configuration.
Current understanding of angiosarcoma: disease biology and evolving treatment
Authors: Kim Woo Ju , Kim Han Koo
Published: October 2023

Angiosarcoma is a very rare soft tissue sarcoma that originates from endothelial cells and typically has a poor prognosis. It is most commonly found in elderly white men and can occur anywhere in the body, particularly in the head, neck, and scalp. Patients who have undergone previous radiation treatment or who have chronic lymphedema also face an elevated risk of this condition. Various genetic changes are suspected to contribute to the development of angiosarcoma, and these changes have been identified as potential targets for treatment. For localized disease, wide surgical resection is often the prudent course of action. A multidisciplinary approach, which may include surgery, radiotherapy, systemic chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, is typically the most effective way to achieve favorable outcomes. In this review, we discuss the general understanding of angiosarcoma and its management, with a particular focus on the current evolving treatments for the disease.
German Loans in Early English
Authors: Busse Ulrich
Published: October 2023

The paper outlines the contribution of German to the word stock of English in the three periods of Old English, Middle English, and Early Modern English, or, in other words, from the early Middle Ages up to 1700, and relates these words to major cultural events, such as the Christianisation of England, the Norman Invasion, the Reformation and to the beginnings of science and technology during the Renaissance. Methodologically, the term German will be used in the sense of High German and its antecedents rather than Low German or Low Dutch. As a consequence of this approach, the impact of German on the English language during these periods is rather small in terms of numbers, but interesting and varied as far as domains of borrowing, transmission routes of words, linguistic strategies (i.e. importation v. substitution), and mode of transmission (i.e. written v. spoken) are concerned.

Seasonally migratory songbirds have different historic population size characteristics than resident relatives
Authors: Winker Kevin , Delmore Kira
Published: October 2023

Modern genomic methods enable estimation of a lineage’s long-term effective population sizes back to its origins. This ability allows unprecedented opportunities to determine how adoption of a major life-history trait affects lineages’ populations relative to those without the trait. We used this novel approach to study the population effects of the life-history trait of seasonal migration across evolutionary time. Seasonal migration is a common life-history strategy, but its effects on long-term population sizes relative to lineages that don’t migrate are largely unknown. Using whole-genome data, we estimated effective population sizes over millions of years in closely related seasonally migratory and resident lineages in a group of songbirds. Our main predictions were borne out: Seasonal migration is associated with larger effective population sizes (

), greater long-term variation in

N

, and a greater degree of initial population growth than among resident lineages. Initial growth periods were remarkably long (0.63-4.29 Myr), paralleling the expansion and adaptation phases of taxon cycles, a framework of lineage expansion and eventual contraction over time encompassing biogeography and evolutionary ecology. Heterogeneity among lineages is noteworthy, despite geographic proximity (including overlap) and close relatedness. Seasonal migration imbues these lineages with fundamentally different population size attributes through evolutionary time compared to closely related resident lineages.
Sensitization of meningeal afferents to locomotion-related meningeal deformations in a migraine model

Published: October 2023

Migraine headache is hypothesized to involve the activation and sensitization of trigeminal sensory afferents that innervate the cranial meninges. To better understand migraine pathophysiology and improve clinical translation, we used two-photon calcium imaging via a closed cranial window in awake mice to investigate changes in the responses of meningeal afferents using a preclinical model of migraine involving cortical spreading depolarization (CSD). A single CSD episode caused a seconds-long wave of calcium activation that propagated across afferents and along the length of individual afferents. Surprisingly, unlike previous studies in anesthetized animals with exposed meninges, only a very small afferent population was persistently activated in our awake mouse preparation, questioning the relevance of this neuronal response to the onset of migraine pain. In contrast, we identified a larger subset of meningeal afferents that developed augmented responses to acute three-dimensional meningeal deformations that occur in response to locomotion bouts. We observed increased responsiveness in a subset of afferents that were already somewhat sensitive to meningeal deformation before CSD. Furthermore, another subset of previously insensitive afferents also became sensitive to meningeal deformation following CSD. Our data provides new insights into the mechanisms underlying migraine, including the emergence of enhanced meningeal afferent calcium responses to movement-related meningeal deformations as a potential neural substrate underlying the worsening of migraine headache during physical activity.

Bovine diarrhea is a multi-factorial disease and remains one of the biggest health problems in animal husbandry. The endemic trends of the main pathogens responsible for bovine diarrhea in Inner Mongolia have not been analyzed systematically before. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to estimate the prevalence of bovine diarrhea pathogens found in the scattered households of Inner Mongolia in China. Additionally, we assessed for differences in the prevalence of infection based on age and region, as well as determined local prevalence rates and the rates of mixed infections. Using a two-stage random sampling strategy, 3,050 serum samples were collected from 72 bovine herds in 11 leagues and cities in Inner Mongolia, and the positive rates of BVDV, BRV, BCoV, K99, and Mycobacterium paratuberculosis (M. paratuberculosis) antibodies in the samples were detected by ELISA to determine the epidemic trends and epidemic differences of the five pathogens in Inner Mongolia. The positive rates of antibodies based on serum samples were: BVDV, 18.79% (95% CI [17.44–20.22]); BRV, 12.39% (95% CI [11.27–13.61]); BCoV, 12.82% (95% CI [11.68–14.05]); K99, 13.80% (95% CI [12.62–15.07]); and M. paratuberculosis, 10.79% (95% CI [9.74–11.94]). The prevalence rates of BRV, BCoV and K99 at 0–2 months were significantly different from that at 2–6 months, 6–18 months and adult cattle (P < 0.05). The prevalence of BVDV and M. paratuberculosis was the highest in adult cattle, which was significantly different from that in other age groups (P < 0.05). Furthermore, obvious regional epidemiological differences among the five diseases were observed. There was a mixed infection of BRV+BCoV in each age stage, the highest mixed infection being BVDV+BRV+K99 at 0–2 months of age. Our results showed that the cattle of scattered households in the Inner Mongolia of China were endemicly infected with several important cattle pathogens. Most of the pathogens studied occurred between 0–2 months of age and were mixed infections, which greatly influences the health of the cattle and leads to economic loss. These findings are of practical significance for the future prevention and control of bovine diarrhea in the Inner Mongolia or other regions of China.
Followership styles scrutinized: temporal consistency and relationships with job attitudes and self-efficacy

Published: October 2023

While followership has been repeatedly acknowledged as an important part of leadership, key questions are still awaiting empirical testing. In our two studies, we test Kelley’s prominent concept of followership styles for the first time in a longitudinal design. Specifically, we use a latent-state trait approach to examine the degree to which followership behaviors (i.e., active engagement [AE] and independent, critical thinking [ICT]) reflect rather stable or rather dynamic behaviors. Furthermore, we examine the relationships of followership behaviors with job attitudes (i.e., job satisfaction and organizational commitment) and self-efficacy in latent states cross-lagged models. We first test our hypotheses in a sample of N = 184 employees from eleven German service organizations, which were surveyed twice with a time lag of nine to 12 months. To replicate and extend our findings from Study 1, we conducted Study 2 with a sample of N = 570 participants from a German open-access panel, which were surveyed twice with a time lag of four months. In Study 2, we additionally test leader humility and perceived organizational support (POS) as potential moderators of the relationships between followership and job attitudes. While our findings support Kelley’s conceptualization of followership styles as rather consistent behavior patterns, mixed results were found for the relationships with the other variables. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings as well as the relevance of time in followership research.
