AbstractBackgroundDental and oral anomalies are among the most common long‐term side effects of childhood cancer therapy.AimTo evaluate chemotherapy as a risk factor for caries lesions and gingivitis in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) treated with the ALL IC‐BFM 2009 chemotherapy protocol.DesignA retrospective cohort study was designed. Clinical records of 23 paediatric patients with ALL exposed to chemotherapy in the Regional Hospital in Valdivia, Chile, and 46 unexposed patients assessed every 3 months for 24 months were analyzed. The data on gender, age, index of the number of decayed, missing, or filled teeth, and the presence of gingivitis were recorded (Mann–Whitney U test and logistic regression analysis, p ≤ .05).ResultsA significantly greater frequency of gingivitis (69.57%; p < .002) and a mean of new caries lesions were observed in children treated with chemotherapy than in the unexposed children (p < .01). The chemotherapy protocol presented a relative risk of 2.15 (95% CI = 1.22 ‐ 2.66; p = .01) for new caries lesions and 2.29 (95% CI = 1.76 ‐ 3.82; p = .002) for gingivitis.ConclusionThe ALL IC‐BFM 2009 chemotherapy protocol in patients with ALL is a risk factor for new caries lesions and gingivitis.

AbstractIn this work the sorption behavior of Terfezia boudieri truffle was studied and evaluated using the static gravimetric method. This approach permits the measurement of the sorption isotherms at three given temperatures 30, 40, and 50°C. Where in the first step experimental sorption data was collected, and then was used in order to identify the thermodynamic properties of truffle. Several results were found by conducting this study. First, the optimal water activity (aw) for conserving T. boudieri truffles was determined and found to be in range of the values 0.24 and 0.31 as a function of temperature. Additionally, net isosteric heat and entropy of sorption, which are two parameters studied during this study, were found to be decreasing when the water content increased; where the existence of the compensation theory of enthalpy–entropy for Terfezia boudieri was confirmed. Second, net isosteric heat and entropy of sorption, which are two parameters studied during this study, were found to be decreasing when the water content increased; where the existence of the compensation theory of enthalpy–entropy for Terfezia boudieri was confirmed. Finally, the isokinetic temperatures were 338.69 and 324.35 K for desorption and adsorption, respectively. As well as the free Gibbs energy was found to be positive for sorption which indicates that the sorption process as a non‐spontaneous one. Moreover, the spreading pressure varied in a range of 0.03–0.25 J/m2, while the aw increased. This study is a contribution to the drying, packaging, and conservation of white truffle.Practical applicationsWhite truffle has been widely used in many food products related applications, and pharmaceutic industry. White truffle is only available in certain seasons; consequently its storage process for long periods is a necessity in order to ensure the supply chain over the year. Furthermore, this particular food product needs a very specific storage conditions which may affect its quality and shelf‐life. This work aimed to determine and evaluate the water sorption properties in an adequate range of temperature and relative humidity. The mathematical models and the thermodynamic analysis conducted throughout this study, in addition to the reported data are useful to find the optimal and adequate storage conditions to preserve the quality and prolong the white truffle shelf‐life.

AbstractBackground and AimThis meta‐analysis aimed to estimate the incidence of splanchnic vein thrombosis (SVT) in patients with acute pancreatitis and assess the effects of therapeutic anticoagulation.MethodsSystematic searches of the Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases were undertaken to identify studies reporting the incidence and outcomes associated with SVT in patients with acute pancreatitis. The pooled incidence, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using a random effects model. PROSPERO database registration no. CRD 42021230912.ResultsOnly 18 of the 238 studies identified met the inclusion criteria. Of the 943 patients who had SVT, 264 (28.0%) received anticoagulation. The pooled incidence of SVT at first presentation of acute pancreatitis was 15% (95% CI 5 to 26%), but was 17% (95% CI 14 to 20%) in all studies. Recanalization was more likely to occur in the anticoagulation‐treated than in the untreated group (OR 0.51, 95% CI 0.31 to 0.83, P = 0.007). There were no differences in hemorrhagic complications (OR 2.27, 95% CI 0.81 to 6.37, P = 0.12) or overall mortality (OR 2.37, 95% CI 0.86 to 6.52, P = 0.10) in relation to the use of anticoagulation. The overall incidence of portal hypertension in patients was 60% (95% CI 55 to 65%). However, it was not possible to determine the incidence in each group.ConclusionsThe incidence of SVT in patients with acute pancreatitis is significant. Treatment with anticoagulants improved the odds of recanalization but did not increase the risk of hemorrhagic complications or overall mortality.

AbstractBackground and PurposeTo explore the application value and clinical significance of transcranial Doppler(TCD)in assessing leptomeningeal collateral flow (LMF) status in patients with unilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) occlusion.MethodsMedical records of patients with unilateral MCA occlusion confirmed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into three groups according to LMF status, and the laboratory and imaging results were collected. Cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) of MCA, anterior cerebral artery (ACA), and posterior cerebral artery (PCA) on the affected side (ipsilateral, i) and the healthy side (contralateral, c) were measured and recorded by TCD. The results of CBFV changes detected by TCD were compared with those of DSA, and the correlation between CBFV changes and LMF status was analyzed.ResultsEighty‐four patients with unilateral MCA occlusion were included. CBFViACA and CBFViPCA were significantly faster than CBFVcACA and CBFVcPCA in patients with good LMF status (p<.05). There was a significant positive correlation between CBFViACA and LMF status (r = 0.697, p<.001). There was statistical significance in receiver operating characteristic curve analysis of CBFViACA and CBFViPCA (p<.05). The area under the curve of CBFViACA and CBFViPCA, respectively, was 0.879 and 0.678, and the best cutoff value was 82 and 60.5 cm/s.ConclusionsTCD can assess LMF status by detecting the changes of flow velocity of intracranial vessels. CBFV of ACA and PCA in patients with MCA occlusion is significantly correlated with LMF status by DSA. Assessing LMF status, CBFViACA, CBFViACA/CBFVcACA, and CBFViACA/CBFViMCA has the great diagnostic value, which is of great significance in guiding MCA occlusion patients to choose individualized treatment.

AbstractPurposeMonitoring suicide risk in clinical practice requires valid and reliable assessment instruments. This study evaluated the psychometric properties of the 7‐item version of the Concise Health Risk Tracking Self‐Report, CHRT‐SR7 in a primarily rural population.MethodsThe sample comprised 788 participants (81.7% female) of an effectiveness trial of an internet‐based self‐help intervention for depression. Participants completed self‐report questionnaires, including the CHRT‐SR7, Patient Health Questionnaire‐9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder‐7, Work and Social Adjustment Scale, Connor‐Davidson Resilience Scale‐10, and Barriers to Seeking Mental Health Care. Four‐week test‐retest reliability was calculated for a subsample of 147 participants randomized to a waitlist control group.FindingsThe CHRT‐SR7 internal consistency was α = 0.80 (total sample), α = 0.80 (women), and α = 0.83 (men). The 4‐week test‐retest reliability was strong for women (r = 0.78) and moderate for men (r = 0.66). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the original 3‐factor solution: Hopelessness (2 items), Perceived Lack of Social Support (2 items), and Current Suicidal Thoughts and Plans (3 items), which was invariant across gender and rural status. Convergent and divergent validity was supported as reflected in significant correlations of the CHRT‐SR7 and its subscales with measures of depression, anxiety, adjustment, and resilience. Limitations include the limited demographic diversity (mostly non‐Hispanic White women) and reliance on self‐report data.ConclusionsOur findings complement those reported in prior studies of patients with severe depression and support the use of the CHRT‐SR7 for measuring suicide risk in rural adults; future studies should further test the instrument's psychometric properties in racial or ethnic minority rural residents.
Delineating the field of medical education: Bibliometric research approach(es)
Authors: Maggio Lauren A. , Ninkov Anton , Frank Jason R. , Costello Joseph A. , Artino Anthony R. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe field of medical education remains poorly delineated such that there is no broad consensus of articles or journals that comprise ‘the field’. This lack of consensus indicates a missed opportunity for researchers to generate insights about the field that could facilitate conducting bibliometric studies and other research designs (e.g., systematic reviews) and also enable individuals to identify themselves as ‘medical education researchers’. Other fields have utilised bibliometric field delineation, which is the assigning of articles or journals to a certain field in an effort to define that field.ProcessIn this Research Approach, three bibliometric field delineation approaches—information retrieval, core journals, and journal co‐citation—are introduced. For each approach, the authors describe attempts to apply it in medical education and identify related strengths and weaknesses. Based on co‐citation, the authors propose the Medical Education Journal List 24 (MEJ‐24), as a starting point for delineating medical education and invite the community to collaborate on improving and potentially expanding this list.PearlsAs a research approach, field delineation is complicated, and there is no clear best way to delineate the field of medical education. However, recent advances in information science provide potentially fruitful approaches to deal with the field's complexity. When considering these approaches, researchers should consider collaborating with bibliometricians. Bibliometric approaches rely on available metadata for articles and journals, which necessitates that researchers examine the metadata prior to analysis to understand its strengths and weaknesses, and to assess how this might affect data interpretation. While using bibliometric approaches for field delineation is valuable, it is important to remember that these techniques are only as good as the research team's interpretation of the data, which suggests that an expanded approach is needed to better delineate medical education, an approach that includes active discussion within the medical education community.
Neoliberalizing Racial Justice: Caste, Race, and Diaspora Hindutva Democrats
Authors: Shambuka  
Published: October 2021

AbstractTracing the shifting historical and contemporary discourses of self‐representation among upper caste American Hindu immigrants, this paper reflects upon the rise of diaspora “Hindutva Democrats” in the post‐2020 American political landscape. What makes “Hindutva Democrats” a peculiar political embodiment is their manipulative use of the language of social justice for addressing racism in America while downplaying, if not outright refusing to acknowledge, glaring human rights abuses against minorities (for issues such as casteism and Islamophobia) in India and in the Indian diaspora. Together, these confounding and inconsistent political stances illuminate the problem of the neoliberalization of calls for racial justice, amplified by narratives of American exceptionalism and its favorable capitalist ties to India in the contemporary political landscape. This analysis of the Hindutva Democratic movement illuminates the ways in which performances of race, caste, and racialization are embedded in historical, institutional, and gendered ideological projects across borders. These performances create insidious impediments toward the achievement of the global human rights which are foundational to sustainable peace.
International scholarship for social change? Re‐contextualizing Global Korea Scholarship alumni’s perceptions of justice and diversity in South Korea

Published: October 2021

AbstractThis study examines South Korea’s international scholarship program based on responses to the Global Korea Scholarship (GKS) alumni survey to find how the participants perceive the host country’s dimensions of justice and diversity. We employ the concept of justice in terms of redistribution, recognition, and representation. Analysis of GKS alumni perceptions of Korean society revealed that international mobility programs may provide positive and negative experiences for the participants depending on their positionality in terms of gender, ethnicity, and Korean language proficiency. Some had the exclusive opportunity to access global knowledge, skills, and networks. Others were exposed to unexpected misrepresentation and misframing while living and learning in the new society. We suggest the need for multidimensional policy discussions to consider both positive and negative outcomes of international scholarship programs and their potential to play a transformative role in global higher education.Related Articles in this Special IssueAyhan, Kadir Jun, and Nancy Snow. 2021. “Introduction to the Special Issue—Global Korea Scholarship: Empirical Evaluation of a non‐Western Scholarship Program from a Public Diplomacy Perspective.” Politics & Policy 49(6): 1282–1291. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12440.Jon, Jae‐Eun, and Kadir Jun Ayhan. 2021. “Satisfied or Dissatisfied: The Determinants of Global Korea Scholarship Recipients’ Satisfaction with Life in Korea.” Politics & Policy 49(6): 1391–1414. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12437.Perez, Loarre Andreu, Myoung‐Gi Chon, Kelly Vibber, and Jeong‐Nam Kim. 2021. “Classifying Foreign Publics: Examining the Relationships Behavioral Experience, Symbolic Environment, and Communication Behaviors among Key Foreign Publics.” Politics & Policy 49(6): 1308–1322. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12439
Multistage Attack–Defense Graph Game Analysis for Protection Resources Allocation Optimization Against Cyber Attacks Considering Rationality Evolution
Authors: Shao Chengwu , Li Yan‐Fu 
Published: October 2021

AbstractCyber vulnerabilities become ever more critical in modern industrial systems since the attacker can utilize the vulnerabilities to degrade their performance or even cause disasters. In 2015, a series of sequential and well‐organized cyber attacks intruded into the Ukrainian power grid, compromised access to the control system, and interrupted the power supply system, finally causing a widespread power outage. To assist the defender, e.g., power grid operator, to allocate protection resources against cyber attacks, existing studies have devoted considerable efforts to risk and reliability analysis and interaction analysis using game theory. The defender's protection strategy includes preevent defense strategy and postevent repair strategy. The strategy spaces of both players were static in previous studies. However, facing Ukrainian‐style cyber attacks, the strategy spaces could variate during the attacker–defender confrontation. In other words, the vulnerability compromised by the attacker in one stage could expose the subsequential vulnerabilities, leading to the change of strategy spaces. In this work, a multistage attack–defense graph game model is proposed to assist the defender in allocating protection resources optimally against sequential cyber attacks during multiple stages. In addition, we consider the existence of the rationality evolution of the attacker, which mainly results from asymmetric information, capacity limitation, and progressive learning during the confrontation. Compared to previous studies based on static strategy spaces and static rationalities, our model is more practical and effective in dealing with Ukrainian‐style cyber attacks. The simulation results show the superiority of our approach, and some notable observations and practical suggestions are summarized for the defender.
Procedural (in)justice, emotions, and compliance
Authors: Demarest Megan T. 
Published: October 2021

AbstractThe procedural justice model has become widely recognized as a key crime prevention and reduction strategy, spurring its adoption across police agencies throughout the United States in an effort to address mounting concerns regarding police use of force. Recent critiques, however, have called attention to the need for greater examination of potential contributing factors that are underdeveloped in investigations of the procedural justice model, including the role of emotions. This article takes stock of interdisciplinary advancements to critically examine scholarly investigations exploring associations between procedural (in)justice, emotions, and compliance behaviors within the context of police‐citizen interactions. In doing so, continued gaps are identified. Lastly, this article concludes by identifying future pathways and recommendations for the scholarly advancement of our understanding of emotions and their continued relevance to the procedural justice model.

SummaryLight quantity and quality affect many aspects of plant growth and development. However, few reports have addressed the molecular connections between seed oil accumulation and light conditions, especially dense shade. Shade‐avoiding plants can redirect plant resources into extension growth at the expense of leaf and root expansion in an attempt to reach areas containing richer light. Here, we report that tung tree seed oil accumulation is suppressed by dense shade during the rapid oil accumulation phase. Transcriptome analysis confirmed that oil accumulation suppression due to dense shade was attributed to reduced expression of fatty acid and triacylglycerol biosynthesis‐related genes. Through weighted gene co‐expression network analysis, we identified 32 core transcription factors (TFs) specifically upregulated in densely shaded seeds during the rapid oil accumulation period. Among these, VfHB21, a class I homeodomain leucine zipper TF, was shown to suppress expression of FAD2 and FADX, two key genes related to α‐eleostearic acid, by directly binding to HD‐ZIP I/II motifs in their respective promoter regions. VfHB21 also binds to similar motifs in the promoters of VfWRI1 and VfDGAT2, two additional key seed lipid regulatory/biosynthetic genes. Functional conservation of HB21 during plant evolution was demonstrated by the fact that AtWRI1, AtSAD1, and AtFAD2 were downregulated in VfHB21‐overexpressor lines of transgenic Arabidopsis, with concomitant seed oil reduction, and the fact that AtHB21 expression also was induced by shade. This study reveals some of the regulatory mechanisms that specifically control tung tree seed oil biosynthesis and more broadly regulate plant storage carbon partitioning in response to dense shade conditions.

Abstract
The Creep Crack Growth (CCG) of polyethylene pipe directly limits its long-term lifetime. The long-term lifetime estimation of polyethylene pipe was proposed by combining the crack kinetics and Paris-Erdogan crack growth model. According the Full Notch Creep Test (FNCT) to measure the relationship between the crack opening displacement COD and the test time ti of the preformed PE ring notch specimens during creep tension, and the crack growth rate da/dt, stress intensity factor KI can be calculated, then the inherent parameters A, m of PE materials can be obtained through the Paris-Erdogan crack growth model. Finally, the relationship between the crack depth af and the crack growth time tCCG of polyethylene pipes in the long-term use process can be extrapolated. The test result shown that, when the specification of PE pipes were dn110-sdr11, if there was an initial crack with a depth of aini = 0.4mm on the outer wall of the pipe, and under the continuous action of pipe pressure with p = 0.4 MPa, when the depth crack of PE1 and PE2 pipes expanded to 0.8mm, it needed to maintain or replace the defective pipe section, and the lifetime of the pipes were 22.89 and 20.03 years. Respectively, if the pipes were not maintained and replaced in time, and it will exist medium leakage only takes 14.13 and 12.44 years.
