AbstractRice blast disease, caused by the filamentous fungus Pyricularia oryzae, is one of the most destructive diseases in rice worldwide. Breeding of resistant rice cultivars remains a cost‐effective and environment‐friendly means for controlling blast disease, but the resistance tends to break down over time because of the pathogen's rapid adaptation. In this study, AVRPiz‐t gene sequences of 46 rice blast isolates were evaluated using a Southern blot analysis. The AVRPiz‐t gene was present in 24 of 46 (52.2%) rice blast isolates. The pathogenicity assay showed that all blast isolates were avirulent against Japanese rice cv. Toride 1, which carries several rice blast resistance genes including Piz‐t, Pii, Pi37, and Pi‐ta. Screening for the Piz‐t gene in Thai rice germplasm revealed that less than 20% of rice varieties harbour the Piz‐t gene. Therefore, the Toride 1 rice variety could serve as an effective donor of rice blast resistance to be used in rice breeding programmes in Thailand. This study provides evidence for co‐evolution between the rice blast resistance gene Piz‐t and the rice blast fungal avirulence gene AVRPiz‐t. Understanding this relationship will facilitate the sustainable development of breeding for rice blast resistance in the future.
The Idea of Small Justice
Authors: Crowe Jonathan 
Published: September 2021

AbstractTalk about social or distributive justice, at least among legal and political philosophers, tends to focus heavily on institutions. This way of thinking about justice owes a great deal to John Rawls. Rawls’s theory of justice was famously criticised by Robert Nozick, who in turn attracted an influential critique from G. A. Cohen. The story of these critiques is well known, but this article tells it in an unfamiliar way. The common theme in Nozick’s and Cohen’s arguments, I contend, is that there is a way of thinking about social justice that focuses not primarily on institutions, but rather on interpersonal relationships. I call this idea small justice. Justice, on this view, is identified with whatever institutions would arise through a process of social evolution from ethical interpersonal dealings repeated consistently over time.
Janus‐Faced Coherentism and the Forgotten Role of Formal Principles
Authors: Camarena González Rodrigo 
Published: September 2021

AbstractCoherentists fail to distinguish between the individual revision of a conviction and the intersubjective revision of a rule. This paper fills this gap. A conviction is a norm that, according to an individual, ought to be ascribed to a provision. By contrast, a rule is a judicially ascribed norm that controls a case and is protected by the formal principles of competence, certainty, and equality. A revision of a rule is the invalidation or modification such a judicially ascribed norm, provided that the judge meets the burden of argumentation of formal principles. Thus, judges can revise their convictions without changing the law.

Abstract
The outbreak of COVID-19 has sparked a sudden demand for fast, frequent and accurate data on the societal impact of the pandemic. This demand has highlighted a divide in survey data collection: Most probability-based social surveys, which can deliver the necessary data quality to allow valid inference to the general population, are slow, infrequent and ill-equipped to survey people during a lockdown. Most non-probability online surveys, which can deliver large amounts of data fast, frequently and without interviewer contact, however, cannot provide the data quality needed for population inference. Well aware of this chasm in the data landscape, at the onset of the pandemic, we set up the Mannheim Corona Study (MCS), a rotating panel survey with daily data collection on the basis of the long-standing probability-based online panel infrastructure of the German Internet Panel (GIP). The MCS has provided academics and political decision makers with key information to understand the social and economic developments during the early phase of the pandemic. This paper describes the panel adaptation process, demonstrates the power of the MCS data on its own and when linked to other data sources, and evaluates the data quality achieved by the MCS fast-response methodology.
Transitioning a Panel Survey from in-person to Predominantly Web Data Collection: Results and Lessons Learned

Published: September 2021

AbstractOver the last two decades, in-person interviewing costs continued to increase while the data quality advantages traditionally identified with this data collection mode have faded. Consequently, some longitudinal surveys have begun transitioning from in-person to web data collection despite risks to data quality and longitudinal comparability. This paper addresses the major issues involved in the transition process and proposes a multi-sample, multi-phase responsive design that attempts to minimize the data quality risks while preserving the considerable cost savings promised by the transition. The paper describes the design as it was applied to the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent to Adult Health (Add Health)—a nationally representative panel survey of around 20,000 adolescents selected from grades 7 to 12 (typically 13 to 18 years of age) in the 1994–95 school year. Also described are key results from several experiments embedded within the design and the analysis of mode effects. Also presented are some lessons learned and recommendations for other in-person panel surveys that may be contemplating a similar transition to web or mixed-mode data collection.

AbstractAimParents are the principal decision‐makers regarding their child's health. Awareness of mothers’ view about their children's health, particularly with special health care needs (SHCN) (include hearing impaired children), is essential for health care providers. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the mothers view about oral health status, oral hygiene practices, and dental services utilization of their children with hearing impairment attending special schools.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted between May and September 2020 among mothers of students with hearing impairment attending special schools. Also, the telephone structured interview was used to gathering mothers view.Results57.4% of the mothers rated their children's oral health status as excellent or good, 27.9% as moderate, and 14.7% as poor. About half of the mothers (49.2%) stated that their children used toothbrushes once daily, and 15% use dental floss. Also, 54% of the children visited the dentist before this survey's conduct.ConclusionThe findings of the present study suggest that children with hearing impairment can also have good oral health status and behaviors. These results may be attributed to the fact that the study sample was taken from two special schools. Also, only the mothers’ perception assessment of students’ oral health status was done. Further studies are required to increase the strength of evidence.
Applications of geospatial big data in the Internet of Things
Authors: Silva Dennis Sávio , Holanda Maristela 
Published: September 2021

AbstractThe Internet of Things (IoT) paradigm represents networks of objects that, without requiring human action, sense and interact with the environment, collect data, and transmit these data for users and applications via the internet. IoT applications can generate a massive amount of data, with a significant part containing geospatial aspects and requiring applications to deal with the objects' geospatial relationships and extract information and knowledge. This article describes a systematic literature mapping investigating the geospatial evolution of big data in the IoT. For the mapping, 116 documents were selected from four academic databases—Scopus, IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, and Web of Science—and classified according to their main contributions. The analysis of these works allowed us to view what domains have applied geospatial big data from IoT, the artifacts that support this application, and the most prolific authors and venues involved in this research area.
Multi‐omics network‐based functional annotation of unknown Arabidopsis genes
Authors: Depuydt Thomas , Vandepoele Klaas 
Published: September 2021

SUMMARYUnraveling gene function is pivotal to understanding the signaling cascades that control plant development and stress responses. As experimental profiling is costly and labor intensive, there is a clear need for high‐confidence computational annotation. In contrast to detailed gene‐specific functional information, transcriptomics data are widely available for both model and crop species. Here, we describe a novel automated function prediction method, which leverages complementary information from multiple expression datasets by analyzing study‐specific gene co‐expression networks. First, we benchmarked the prediction performance on recently characterizedArabidopsis thalianagenes, and showed that our method outperforms state‐of‐the‐art expression‐based approaches. Next, we predicted biological process annotations for known (n = 15 790) and unknown (n = 11 865) genes inA. thalianaand validated our predictions using experimental protein–DNA and protein–protein interaction data (covering >220 000 interactions in total), obtaining a set of high‐confidence functional annotations. Our method assigned at least one validated annotation to 5054 (42.6%) unknown genes, and at least one novel validated function to 3408 (53.0%) genes with computational annotations only. These omics‐supported functional annotations shed light on a variety of developmental processes and molecular responses, such as flower and root development, defense responses to fungi and bacteria, and phytohormone signaling, and help fill the information gap on biological process annotations in Arabidopsis. An in‐depth analysis of two context‐specific networks, modeling seed development and response to water deprivation, shows how previously uncharacterized genes function within the respective networks. Moreover, our automated function prediction approach can be applied in future studies to facilitate gene discovery for crop improvement.

AbstractObjectiveTo describe a laparoscopic approach for performing intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) and bile duct flushing (BDF) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in dogs. To investigate the clinical outcomes of dogs undergoing these procedures for the treatment of benign gallbladder disease, ie gallbladder mucocele (GM) or cholecystitis.Study designRetrospective study.AnimalsForty‐seven client‐owned dogs.MethodsMedical records of client‐owned dogs with benign gallbladder diseases that underwent IOC and BDF during LC between September 2016 and December 2019 were reviewed. Of these dogs, only dogs with GM or cholecystitis were included in the study. The fundus dissection first method was used for LC. Intraoperative cholangiography and BDF procedures were performed laparoscopically using a catheter inserted into the cystic duct following dissection within the subserosal layer of the gallbladder. Videos recorded during each procedure were reviewed, and data on procedure duration, completion, outcome, and technical approach were recorded.ResultsForty‐seven dogs were included in the study. The median procedure time for BDF and IOC was 4 min (range, 2‐48 min), and no intraoperative or postoperative complications occurred.ConclusionDuring LC, BDF and IOC were performed safely and successfully. Intraoperative cholangiography identified obstructions and strictures in the common bile duct that were not detected using BDF alone.Clinical significanceOur findings suggest that BDF and IOC are both safe and time effective and should be considered for routine use by surgeons during LC.
Use of Video Education Interventions to Increase Racial and Ethnic Diversity in Cancer Clinical Trials: A Systematic Review

Published: September 2021

AbstractBackgroundLess than 5% of eligible adult cancer survivors participate in cancer clinical trials. Survivors identifying as Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are less likely to participate in clinical trials compared to those identifying as non‐Hispanic White. Common barriers to BIPOC participation are lack of knowledge, lack of access, and mistrust. These barriers are all factors in the disparities observed in BIPOC cancer‐related morbidity and mortality. Clinical trials need adequate BIPOC representation to garner generalizable findings that can reduce or eliminate cancer disparities associated with the social construct of race.AimThis systematic review examined the use of video education interventions to impact BIPOC survivor participation in clinical trials.MethodsWeb of Science, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, PsycInfo, and CINAHL databases were queried for articles that described or tested video interventions aimed at increasing adult, BIPOC survivor clinical trial participation. Two authors independently screened articles for inclusion, appraised quality, and abstracted relevant data. All authors synthesized the data into themes through discussion and consensus.ResultsThe search yielded 2,512 articles. Seven selected articles described six distinct interventions. Although the six interventions reduced barriers to participation in clinical trials, their findings varied on Black and Hispanic survivors’ readiness to enroll and participate in trials. Four themes emerged: (a) cultural sensitivity is needed in video development and delivery; (b) video content should be aimed to educate and change attitudes about clinical trials; (c) video interventions are feasible and acceptable; and (d) video interventions affect outcomes on intention or actual enrollment.Linking Evidence to ActionVideo interventions are well‐received by BIPOC survivors and may improve representation in clinical trials. Yet, video interventions are underutilized. More studies are needed to establish best practices for video interventions aimed at diversifying clinical trial participation as widening cancer disparities and rapidly changing cancer care continue to emerge.

Published: September 2021

Recently, a short form of the Fullerton Advanced Balance (SF-FAB) scale was reported as a good predictor of falls in older adults. However, we found no evidence regarding its reliability in non-American older adults. Therefore, we aimed to analyze the reliability and homogeneity of the SF-FAB scale to measure postural balance in Iranian older adults. Eighty-five community-dwelling older adults (70.75 ± 4.97 years) performed the SF-FAB test on two occasions 1 week apart. In both instances, four raters assessed the performance on the test. The SF-FAB scale (mean total score: 12.46 ± 3.53) revealed acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .77), excellent intrarater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .94–.99), and excellent interrater reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .92–.99). The overall prediction success rate was 83.5% with correctly classifying 95.6% of nonfallers and 35.3% of fallers. The SF-FAB scale can provide a quick screen of balance status in older adults to trigger referral to clinicians for a more comprehensive assessment.

Published: September 2021

Context: Aquatic plyometric training may provide benefits due to reduced joint loading compared with land plyometric training; however, the reduced loading may also limit performance gains. Objective: To systematically review the effect of aquatic plyometric training on strength, performance outcomes, soreness, and adverse events in healthy individuals. Evidence acquisition: Five databases were searched from inception to June 2020. Quality assessment and data extraction were independently completed by 2 investigators. When similar outcome measures were used, standardized mean differences were calculated. Evidence synthesis: A total of 19 randomized controlled trials with 633 participants (mean age, range 14–30 y) were included. Aquatic plyometric training was most commonly performed in waist to chest deep water (12/19 studies), 2 to 3 times per week for 6 to 12 weeks (18/19 studies), with final program foot contacts ranging from 120 to 550. Meta-analyses were not completed due to the clinical and statistical heterogeneity between studies. Compared with land plyometric training, aquatic plyometric training exercises and dosage were replicated (15/16 studies) and showed typically similar performance gains (3/4 knee extensor strength measures, 2/4 leg extensor strength measures, 3/4 knee flexor strength measures, 7/10 vertical jump measures, 3/3 sprint measures). In total, 2 of 3 studies monitoring muscle soreness reported significantly less soreness following training in water compared with on land. Compared with no active training (no exercise control group or passive stretching), most effect sizes demonstrated a mean improvement favoring aquatic plyometric training (23/32 measures). However, these were not significant for the majority of studies measuring isokinetic knee strength, vertical jump, and sprinting. The effect sizes for both studies assessing leg press strength indicated that aquatic plyometric training is significantly more effective than no training. Conclusion: Aquatic plyometric training appears similarly effective to land plyometric exercise for improving strength, jumping, and sprinting and may be indicated when joint impact loading needs to be minimized. However, the low quality of studies limits the strength of the conclusions.

Published: September 2021

Context: The COVID-19 pandemic has had catastrophic impact on a global scale, affecting people from all walks of life including elite athletes. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the reported rates of return to play (RTP) in conjunction with the expert-derived guidelines previously recommended to enable safe RTP post COVID-19 infection. Evidence Acquisition: Two independent reviewers searched the literature based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines, utilizing the MEDLINE, Embase, and Scopus databases. Only studies that reported rates of RTP and/or recommended guidelines for safe RTP were included. Evidence Synthesis: Overall, 17 studies (3 level III and 14 level V) were included. A total of 3 studies reported rates of RTP in a total of 1255 athletes and 623 officials; 72 (30 symptomatic) were infected with COVID-19, 100% of whom were able to RTP post COVID-19 infection. Of the 14 studies recommending guidelines for safe RTP, 3 and 9 studies recommended 7 and 14 days of rest in isolation respectively for asymptomatic patients with COVID-19 infection, prior to safe RTP. In contrast, 7 studies recommended 3 to 6 months of rest (following 14 d isolation) in cases of COVID-19-induced myocarditis as a safe timeframe for safe RTP. Of the 11 studies reporting on whether blanket testing prior to RTP was recommended, only 7 studies recommended a negative test result as mandatory prior to RTP for athletes previously infected with COVID-19. Conclusions: Although excellent rates of RTP have been reported for elite athletes post COVID-19 infection, discrepancies in recommended rest periods, requirement for mandatory negative test results, and the magnitude of screening investigations required continue to exist in the literature, with a need for further standardized international guidelines required in future. Level of Evidence: Level V; systematic review of all forms of evidence.

Published: September 2021

AbstractWe study the motion of test particles and photons in the vicinity of the (2+1)-dimensional Gauss–Bonnet (GB) BTZ black hole. We find that the presence of the coupling constant serves as an attractive gravitational charge, shifting the innermost stable circular orbits outward with respect to the one for this theory in four dimensions. Further, we consider the gravitational lensing, to test the GB gravity in (2+1) dimensions and show that the presence of the GB parameter causes the bending angle to first increase with the increase in the inverse of the closest approach distance,$$u_0$$u0, reaching a peak value for a specific$$u_0^*$$u0∗, and then decreasing to zero. We also show that the increase in the value of the GB parameter decreases the bending angle, and the increase in the absolute value of the negative cosmological constant produces an opposite effect on this angle.
