‘Missing persons’: Ancient legacies of human–environment interaction in tropical natural properties inscribed under the 1972 World Heritage Convention
Authors: Rabett Ryan J. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCultural and natural values form the core of World Heritage designation. Properties displaying both values, however, comprise a fraction of inscriptions (currently c. 3%) to the World Heritage List. In 1992, when that fraction stood at c. 5%, adoption of the popular ‘cultural landscapes’ category of cultural heritage in 1992 was therefore hailed as a key development under the 1972 World Heritage Convention. This new designation provided, for the first time, a definitive bridge between humans and the environment, and was intended to open the door to World Heritage recognition for underrepresented parties to the Convention, particularly in the Global South, and to pave the way for a diverse range of landscape‐based inscriptions. As important and successful as this category has been in the three decades since its adoption, European sites in the Global North dominate the category and >90% of cultural landscape inscriptions recognise cultural heritage values alone rather than mixed values. This paper examines the largely hidden role of human–environment legacies in tropical World Heritage properties in the Global South, in some of the most biologically diverse and endangered ecosystems on the planet. Specifically, it highlights the long‐term interaction between people and tropical environments as revealed through palaeo science, pre‐recent (>200 years) history, Indigenous and traditional practices. Using exemplars internationally recognised as being wholly of natural outstanding universal value, it argues that limited reference to this evidence in World Heritage narratives potentially inhibits wider recognition of the role that humans have played in shaping the ecological development of contemporary environments.

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of transalveolar sinus floor elevation (TSFE) with grafting in cases of severely atrophic maxilla.Materials and MethodsA retrospective analysis of clinical and radiographic data was conducted. Between 2015 and 2018, a total of 105 implants were placed in 105 patients over a follow‐up period of 5–8 years. Implant failures and endo‐sinus bone gain (ESBG) were assessed. Statistical models were established to investigate the potential influencing factors of implant survival and ESBG.ResultsSix patients with six implants were lost, resulting in cumulative survival rates of 94% for both patient‐ and implant‐based analyses. The 8‐year cumulative survival rate was significantly lower for residual bone height (RBH) < 4 mm (88%) compared to RBH 4–6 mm (98%). ESBG ≥ 4 mm and ESBG ≥ 6 mm were observed in 89.90% and 58.59% of implant sites, respectively. According to the log‐rank Mantel‐Cox analysis results, none of the factors examined were significantly related to implant failure, except for RBH (p = 0.038) at baseline. The linear mixed‐model regression results showed that the final ESBG was positively correlated with implant insertion site (p = 0.003), implant length (p < 0.001), sinus floor elevation (SFE) methods (p = 0.010), and RBH (p < 0.001).ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, it has been established that TSFE with grafting was a reliable method for implant placement in the posterior atrophic maxilla ridges with RBH ranging from 4 to 6 mm. Nevertheless, caution was advised when considering its application in cases where the initial bone height falls below 4 mm.

AbstractAimTo replicate and extend previous psychometric findings for the Autism Symptom Dimensions Questionnaire (ASDQ).MethodUsing a cross‐sectional design in two samples, including a total of 3366 children and adolescents (aged 2–17 years; 1399 with autism spectrum disorder) and a small case series, factor structure, measurement invariance, reliability, construct validity, screening and diagnostic efficiency, and detection of reliable change were examined for the ASDQ.ResultsStrong psychometric properties were observed, including replicable factor structure, strong measurement invariance, adequate‐to‐excellent scale and conditional reliability, strong convergent and discriminant validity, and good screening efficiency. Importantly, two crucial measurement aspects required for a good treatment outcome measure were found, that is, good test–retest stability and the potential to detect reliable change. As expected for an informant‐reported questionnaire, diagnostic efficiency was weak.InterpretationThe ASDQ showed evidence of favorable and well‐replicated psychometric properties in two samples. Good screening but weak diagnostic efficiency, coupled with good test–retest stability, suggest that optimal clinical use is in screening and in detailed clinical characterization beyond what is offered by current informant‐reported measures, with the potential for monitoring response to intervention. Despite relative brevity, the ASDQ provides good coverage of broad and specific aspects of the autism behavioral phenotype, which is consistent with the criteria of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition.

Abstract
Permanent ectoparasites, adapted to living on their hosts, face limited survival abilities and food availability off the host body.
We investigated the variance in survivability and the diet type preferences between bird lice from two different groups — Amblycera and Ischnocera. While phylogenetic or morphological data can easily separate these groups, the difference in their life history characteristics is poorly understood.
We observed that ischnoceran lice showed significantly longer survival than amblyceran lice (p < 0.05) off the host body and experimental supplementing with host feathers further increased the survival time of ischnoceran lice.
To examine the preference and possible effects of the diet, we evaluated the presence of feathers, blood or both in 4587 chewing lice (1418 amblyceran and 3169 ischnoceran lice). Blood was found in 36% of amblyceran lice from 14 genera, and no blood was found in ischnoceran lice, pointing to different feeding habits between these two groups. Haematophagy is recorded here for the first time for the genera Ardeiphilus, Gruimenopon, Kurodaia, Machaerilaemus and Meromenopon. Furthermore, we evaluated hypopharynx reduction as a potential predisposition for blood‐feeding in bird lice.
Amblyceran lice may be more sensitive to changes in microhabitat conditions than ischnoceran lice, and in some cases, many species of Amblycera may also require an additional dietary source beyond bird feathers for their survival.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe transdiagnostic and network model approaches to psychopathology have emerged as an alternative to taxonomic systems. The main goal was to examine the network structure of the transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders in adolescents with subclinical emotional symptoms. In addition, cross‐sectional network analyses were conducted to investigate the relationships between transdiagnostic dimensions, psychopathology, and socio‐emotional adjustment.MethodThe sample consisted of a total of 476 adolescents from 85 schools from different provinces in Spain with subthreshold anxiety and depression. The mean age was 13.77 years (SD = 1.43, range: 10–18 years), 73.9% were female. Several questionnaires assessing transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders, mental health difficulties, self‐esteem, perceived social support, sense of belonging at school, and prosocial behaviour were used.ResultsA strong interrelation was found between the transdiagnostic variables, except with the positive temperament dimension. The dimensions with the greatest weight were those of traumatic re‐experiencing, intrusive cognitions, avoidance, neuroticism, and depressed mood. Negative relationships were found between the transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders and the protective factors included in the study. Stability analyses indicated that the networks were accurately estimated.ConclusionThe present paper points to the value of conceptualising emotional disorders from a transdiagnostic and network model perspective. In addition, the work provides new insights into the nature of the relationships between transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders, and the role played by risk and protective factors.
Hope or Despair Revisited: Assessing Progress and New Challenges in Global Fisheries

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTMarine fisheries are crucial to the economy, livelihood, food security and culture of coastal nations and communities, significantly contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. A decade ago, T. J. Pitcher and W. W. L. Cheung highlighted the dichotomy in the perception of fisheries' status, concluding that long‐term sustainability and benefits to people were threatened by overexploitation, climate change, pollution, habitat change and other human stressors. They advocated for a fundamental shift towards ecosystem‐based management, better enforcement of existing regulations and more inclusive and equitable management practices. In this paper, we provide an updated review of the status of global fisheries, reflecting on policy actions, key assessments and research findings over the past decade. While there is a growing recognition of the need for sustainable fisheries management and ocean protection, the overall status of fisheries has not improved. Despite progress in international and national policies addressing direct and indirect drivers such as climate change and harmful practices, these trends have not been reversed. Many challenges identified by Pitcher and Cheung and others persist. Additionally, new and emerging issues such as deep‐sea mining, plastic pollution, unhealthy aquaculture development, increasing social inequity and the rapidly increasing push for the acceleration of the blue economy exacerbate the complexity of achieving fisheries and other ocean management goals. Debating whether there is more hope or despair in global fisheries has become irrelevant. Pathways to ‘bend the curve’ for fisheries are clear, and effective actions are now urgently needed to achieve desirable and sustainable fisheries.

ABSTRACTThe present work shows an approach to monitor the evolution of the dislocation arrangement of a metallic material caused by cyclic plastic strain using white X‐ray radiation in combination with an energy‐dispersive detector. The method is demonstrated by single‐shot experiments performed on polycrystalline nickel and α‐brass, representing the pure wavy and the pure planar dislocation slip behavior. To correlate the resulting diffraction patterns with various dislocation arrangements of both metals, fatigue tests were carried out up to certain numbers of cycles and at predetermined plastic strain amplitudes. The differences in dislocation microstructure and internal stress distributions give rise to an appreciable change in the peak shape of Laue reflections, leading to unique characteristics in the respective diffraction patterns. Nickel reflections are elongated due to the high amount of cell structures leading to bending and misorientation of the lattice, whereas the present stacking faults in α‐brass result in powder‐like diffraction.

ABSTRACTChanges in temperature and precipitation are already influencing US forests and that will continue in the future even as we mitigate climate change. Using spatiotemporally matched data for mean annual temperature (MAT) and mean annual precipitation (MAP), we used simulated annealing to estimate critical thresholds for changes in the growth and survival of roughly 150 tree species (153 spp. for growth, 159 spp. for survival) across the conterminous United States (CONUS). We found that growth of nearly one‐third of tree species assessed (44 spp.) decreased with any increase in MAT (42–49 species), whereas fewer responded negatively to projected regional trends in MAP (< 20 species each in the east and west). Hypothetical increases in temperature (+1°C, +2°C) increased average annual growth in the Central East and Pacific Northwest and decreased growth over large areas of the Rockies and Southeast, while decadal survival generally decreased with temperature. Average annual growth and decadal survival had unfavorable associations with projected precipitation, generally decreasing with wetter conditions (+25%) in the east and decreasing with drier conditions (−25%) in the west. Beyond these averages, there were species that positively and negatively responded nearly everywhere across the CONUS, suggesting changes in forest composition are underway. We identified only eight species out of ~150 assessed that were tolerant to increases in temperature, and 24 species in the east and seven in the west were tolerant to regionally specific trends in precipitation (increases in the east and decreases in the west). We assessed confidence on a 5‐point scale (1–5) for five aspects of uncertainty. Average confidence scores were generally high, though some species and metrics had low confidence scores especially for survival. These findings have significant implications for the future national forest carbon sink and for conservation efforts in the face of climate change.

AbstractBackgroundThe numbers of Māori and Pasifika peoples with kidney failure living in Australia are rising. However, data describing outcomes of those proceeding to transplantation are limited. This study describes clinical outcomes of Māori and Pasifika peoples who received a kidney transplant in Australia.AimsThis study describes clinical outcomes of Maori and Pasifika peoples who received a kidney transplant in Australia.MethodsA retrospective review was conducted of kidney transplant recipients aged ≥18 years receiving their first graft between 1 January 2002 and 31 December 2021, as recorded in the Australia and New Zealand Dialysis and Transplant Registry. The primary outcome was death‐censored graft survival. Secondary outcomes included delayed graft function (DGF), rejection and patient survival.ResultsOf 12 543 transplant recipients, mean age was 50 years and the majority identified as male sex. A total of 89 patients identified as Māori and 313 as Pasifika. Māori and Pasifika patients were more likely to have diabetic kidney disease or obesity at time of transplantation (body mass index > 30 kg/m2) and be current or former smokers compared to other ethnicities. Times to graft loss were shorter for Māori (adjusted hazard ratio (HR) 2.06, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.36–3.11) and Pasifika (adjusted HR 1.78, 95% CI 1.39–2.029, P < 0.001) people compared to other ethnicities. The incidences of DGF were significantly higher in the Māori (30%) and Pasifika groups (28%) compared with 22% for other ethnicities (P < 0.005). Overall patient survival was comparable (Māori HR 0.93, 95% CI 0.57–1.49, P = 0.75; Pasifika HR 1.18, Cl 0.88–1.60, P = 0.26).ConclusionsTimes to graft loss for Māori and Pasifika kidney transplant patients were shorter than for other ethnicities.

ABSTRACTGait visual scores are widely applied to horse breeding because they are a fast and easy phenotyping strategy, allowing the numeric interpretation of a complex biological process such as gait quality. However, they may suffer from subjectivity or high environmental influence. We aimed to investigate potential causal relationships among six visual gait scores in Campolina horses. The data included 5475 horses with records for at least one of the following traits: Dissociation (Di), Comfort (C), Style (S), Regularity (R), Development (De), and Gait total Scores (GtS). The pedigree comprised three generations with 14,079 horses in the additive relationship matrix. Under a Bayesian framework, (co)variance components were estimated through a multitrait animal model (MTM). Then, the inductive causation algorithm (IC) was applied to the residual (co)variance matrix samples. The resulting undirected graph from IC was directed in 6 possible causal structures, each fitted by a structural equation model. The final causal structure was chosen based on deviance information criteria (DIC). It was found that S significantly impacts the causal network of gait, directly and indirectly affecting C. The indirect causal effect of S on C was through the direct effect of S on De, then the direct effect of De on R, and finally, the direct effect of R on C. Di was caused by S, which is the reason for the genetic correlation between Di and GtS, due to causal effects being added to the model, they absorb the genetic correlation between Di and GtS. Those paths have biological meaning to horse movements and can help breeders and researchers better understand horses' complex causal network of gait.
The Value of a Tooth for Alveolar Ridge Management; Strategies to Manage Ankylosed Maxillary Anterior Teeth in Young Patients
Authors: Janakievski Jim 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveIn the young and growing patient, tooth ankylosis impedes alveolar growth and presents a serious dilemma regarding the best treatment approach. Two common treatment approaches, extraction of the ankylosed tooth or a “wait and see” will result in a compromised alveolar ridge that can affect future prosthetic rehabilitation. The purpose of this article is to discuss five treatment strategies that can be utilized in the management of tooth ankylosis in the growing patient: (1) extraction, (2) decoronation or root submergence, (3) socket shield (partial extraction), (4) segmental osteotomy and (5) replacement with tooth autotransplantation.OverviewIt is important to understand the biologic sequelae of ankylosis and the value of the tooth for alveolar ridge management. Strategies will be discussed with an emphasis on alveolar ridge management using a natural tooth and root. With an interdisciplinary team, treatment options can then be developed, to achieve more favorable long‐term outcomes.ConclusionsAn understanding of each of these procedures and the proper time for implementation will help the clinician achieve the most optimal long‐term outcomes for these growing patients.Clinical SignificanceThere are several treatment options for traumatized ankylosed incisors in growing patients. This article will describe the details of these treatment strategies, emphasize the value of the tooth for ridge management and present guidelines about selecting the most optimal strategy based on age, rate of growth, condition of the traumatized tooth, and the definitive prosthetic plan.

AbstractMedial Forebrain Bundle Deep Brain Stimulation (MFB‐DBS) can have rapid and long lasting antidepressant effects in Treatment Resistant Depression (TRD) patients. The mechanisms are not well understood, but one hypothesis stipulates that modulation of the dopaminergic (DAergic) fibers contribute to the therapeutic outcome. Acute DBS effects on DA release have been studied; however, longitudinal studies with acute‐repetitive DBS are lacking. Long‐Evans accumbal DA release and Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) calcium tonic and phasic signaling to different mfb‐DBS parameters were measured using fiber photometry over 8 weeks, following acute and repetitive stimulation in behaving and non‐behaving animals. DBS‐induced release was observed in both targets, with increased frequency and DBS duration. 130 Hz stimulation increased phasic and tonic DA response over time, with the latter being a potential mechanism for its long‐term clinical effectiveness. VTA calcium transients decreased, while phasic activity increased with frequency. Pulse width (PW)‐mediated differential peak release timing also suggests potential parallel activation of diverse fiber types. Additionally, decreased DA transients rate during Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) suggests context and stimulation duration‐dependent DA release. The data confirm chronic antidromic/orthodromic DAergic responses with stimulation parameter dependent variability, providing novel insights into temporal adaptations, connectivity and fiber recruitment on mfb DBS.
