Published: July 2021

AbstractBackgroundThe exponential increase in implant placement worldwide and the high prevalence of its associated pathologies have prompted an increasing contribution by the scientific community to the number of publications related to peri‐implant pathologies.PurposeThe objective of this work is to carry out a bibliometric analysis of scientific production on peri‐implant diseases.Materials and MethodsThe search strategy included titles, keywords, and abstracts based on the term peri‐implantitis and all the possible combinations existing in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) of the main collection of Web of Science. Two limits were established: the document typology was limited to Article and Review, and articles published up to 2019 were selected. All articles were refined and standardized manually to avoid typographical errors and duplications in authors' names or institutions.ResultsThe total number of papers collected was 2547. A significant increase was observed in the number of articles published, especially in the past 10 years. The three most productive authors were Europeans, and the 45 most productive institutions were the universities. The most productive funding entities were the governments. Of the published works, 42.28% were funded. Of the 2547 records, 86.53% presented keywords.ConclusionsScientific literature on peri‐implantitis shows scientific growth in recent years, with a growing trend towards collaboration between authors and institutions. Most of the works have been published in high‐impact journals, and in the last 2 years, more than half of the works have received some type of public or private funding.

AbstractBackgroundRough and/or plasma‐activated abutments seem to be able to increase soft tissue adhesion and stability; however, limited evidence is available about bacterial contamination differences.PurposeThe aim was to investigate the oral microbiota on four dental abutments with different surfaces by quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR) and culturomic approach.MethodsForty patients needing a single implant rehabilitation were involved in the study. Forty healing abutments, especially designed for the study, were divided into four groups according to the surface topography (1. machined [MAC], 2. machined plasma of argon treated [plasmaMAC], 3. ultrathin threaded microsurface [UTM], 4. UTM plasma of argon treated [Plasma UTM]). Random assignment was performed according to predefined randomization tables. All patients underwent surgical intervention for implant and contextual healing abutment positioning. After 2 months of healing, a sterile cotton swab was used for microbiological sampling for culturomics, while sterile paper points inserted into the sulcus were used for qRT‐PCR.ResultsAt the end of the study, 36 patients completed all procedures and a total of 36 abutments (9 per group) were analyzed. qRT‐PCR retrieved data for 23 bacterial species whereas culturomics revealed the presence of 74 different bacteria, most of them not routinely included into oral cavity microbiological kits of analysis or never found before in the oral microenvironment. No statistically significant differences emerged analyzing the four different surfaces (p = 0.053). On the contrary, higher total and specific bacterial counts were detected in the plasma‐treated surfaces compared to the untreated ones (p = 0.021).ConclusionsAbutments with different topographies and surface treatments resulted contaminated by similar oral bacterial flora. Abutments with moderately rough surface were not associated with a greater bacterial adhesion compared to machined ones. Conversely, more bacteria were found around plasma‐treated abutments. Furthermore, data reported suggested to include new species not previously sought in the routine analyses of the oral bacterial microflora.
The Accuracy of Causal Learning Over Long Timeframes: An Ecological Momentary Experiment Approach
Authors: Willett Ciara L. , Rottman Benjamin M. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThe ability to learn cause–effect relations from experience is critical for humans to behave adaptively — to choose causes that bring about desired effects. However, traditional experiments on experience‐based learning involve events that are artificially compressed in time so that all learning occurs over the course of minutes. These paradigms therefore exclusively rely upon working memory. In contrast, in real‐world situations we need to be able to learn cause–effect relations over days and weeks, which necessitates long‐term memory. 413 participants completed a smartphone study, which compared learning a cause–effect relation one trial per day for 24 days versus the traditional paradigm of 24 trials back‐ to‐ back. Surprisingly, we found few differences between the short versus long timeframes. Subjects were able to accurately detect generative and preventive causal relations, and they exhibited illusory correlations in both the short and long timeframe tasks. These results provide initial evidence that experience‐based learning over long timeframes exhibits similar strengths and weaknesses as in short timeframes. However, learning over long timeframes may become more impaired with more complex tasks.
Strategic monitoring informs wilderness management and socioecological benefits
Authors: Smith Robert J. , Gray Andrew N. 
Published: July 2021

AbstractFederally designated wilderness areas in the US are mandated to fulfill social and ecological goals. Long‐term monitoring is key to this mandate, yet is seldom consistent across boundaries. Our purpose is to compile literature and data to examine the utility of a strategic forest inventory for meeting wilderness management objectives and for enabling coordinated interagency responses to boundary‐crossing challenges (e.g., pollution, wildfires, plant invasions, global changes). We provide examples from a national forest inventory (NFI), which provides nationally consistent information that helps stakeholders comply with protected‐areas policy, reduce risks to public safety, define economic opportunities, guide conservation efforts and forecast key ecological processes. For example, the NFI has helped detect long‐distance air‐pollution, document high‐elevation whitebark pine declines and evaluate the risk of wilderness fires spreading to adjacent lands and private property. We identify opportunities to improve monitoring by expanding existing measurements of nonforest ecosystems and linking supplemental monitoring efforts to the existing framework. Though the NFI alone cannot fulfill all monitoring functions, strategic monitoring enables effective wilderness management by revealing socioecological feedbacks between human communities and the wildlands on which they depend.

AbstractUnderstanding and minimizing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) vaccine hesitancy is critical to population health and minimizing health inequities, which continue to be brought into stark relief by the pandemic. We investigate questions regarding vaccine hesitancy in a sample (n = 1205) of Arkansas adults surveyed online in July/August of 2020. We examine relationships among sociodemographics, COVID‐19 health literacy, fear of COVID‐19 infection, general trust in vaccines, and COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy using bivariate analysis and a full information maximum likelihood (FIML) logistic regression model. One in five people (21,21.86%) reported hesitancy to take a COVID‐19 vaccine. Prevalence of COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy was highest among Black/African Americans (50.00%), respondents with household income less than $25K (30.68%), some college (32.17%), little to no fear of infection from COVID‐19 (62.50%), and low trust in vaccines in general (55.84%). Odds of COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy were 2.42 greater for Black/African American respondents compared to White respondents (p < 0.001), 1.67 greater for respondents with some college/technical degree compared to respondents with a 4‐year degree (p < 0.05), 5.48 greater for respondents with no fear of COVID‐19 infection compared to those who fear infection to a great extent (p < 0.001), and 11.32 greater for respondents with low trust in vaccines (p < 0.001). Sociodemographic differences in COVID‐19 vaccine hesitancy raise concerns about the potential of vaccine implementation to widen existing health disparities in COVID‐19 related infections, particularly among Black/African Americans. Fear of infection and general mistrust in vaccines are significantly associated with vaccine hesitancy.
Connected Museums: Reflections on Constructing Technology Maturity Parameters In Museums
Authors: Martins Luciana Conrado , Martins Dalton Lopes , do Carmo Danielle 
Published: July 2021

AbstractThis article reflects on barriers to the use of information and communications technology (ICT) by museums. The use of ICT in museums has become increasingly relevant over the last decade, especially in terms of the distribution and availability of museum collections in digital format, contributing to understanding the social role of museums and their relationship with their audience. This investigation aims to reflect on and understand the barriers to the use of technological tools by museums to preserve and socialize digital collections, particularly digital repositories. A qualitative data collection methodology was applied to 26 national museums in Brazil. A diagnostic matrix consisting of seven dimensions was used to analyze the different aspects of museum operations and institutional characteristics. The results obtained indicate the need to devise a specific policy for technological development in museums that goes beyond technical aspects and includes understanding the role of these institutions in society. This investigation is part of a wider study aimed at creating a diagnostic model to assess the technology maturity level of museums.
Cognitive control deployment is flexibly modulated by social value in early adolescence

AbstractRecent mechanistic models of cognitive control define the normative level of control deployment as a function of the effort cost of exerting control balanced against the reward that can be attained by exerting control. Despite these models explaining empirical findings in adults, prior literature has suggested that adolescents may not adaptively integrate value into estimates of how much cognitive control they should deploy. Moreover, much work in adolescent neurodevelopment casts social valuation processes as competing with, and in many cases overwhelming, cognitive control in adolescence. Here, we test whether social incentives can adaptively increase cognitive control. Adolescents (Mage = 14.64, 44 male, N = 87) completed an incentivized cognitive control task in which they could exert cognitive control to receive rewards on behalf of real peers who were rated by all peers in their school grade as being of either high‐ or low‐status. Using Bayesian modeling, we find robust evidence that adolescents exert more cognitive control for high‐ relative to low‐status peers. Moreover, we demonstrate that social incentives, irrespective of their high‐ or low‐status, boost adolescent cognitive control above baseline control where no incentives are offered. Findings support the hypothesis that the cognitive control system in early adolescence is flexibly modulated by social value.

ABSTRACTAimTo compute the uncertainty of time‐in‐ranges, such as time in range (TIR), time in tight range (TITR), time below range (TBR) and time above range (TAR), to evaluate glucose control and to determine the minimum duration of a trial to achieve the desired precision.Materials and MethodsFour formulas for the aforementioned time‐in‐ranges were obtained by estimating the equation's parameters on a training set extracted from study A (226 subjects, ~180 days, 5‐minute Dexcom G4 Platinum sensor). The formulas were then validated on the remaining data. We also illustrate how to adjust the parameters for sensors with different sampling rates. Finally, we used study B (45 subjects, ~365 days, 15‐minute Abbott Freestyle Libre sensor) to further validate our results.ResultsOur approach was effective in predicting the uncertainty when time‐in‐ranges are estimated using n days of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), matching the variability observed in the data. As an example, monitoring a population with TIR = 70%, TITR = 50%, TBR = 5% and TAR = 25% for 30 days warrants a precision of ±3.50%, ±3.68%, ±1.33% and ±3.66%, respectively.ConclusionsThe presented approach can be used to both compute the uncertainty of time‐in‐ranges and determine the minimum duration of a trial to achieve the desired precision. An online tool to facilitate its implementation is made freely available to the clinical investigator.

Published: July 2021

AbstractAimsType 1 diabetes (T1D) has a strong genetic predisposition and requires an environmental trigger to initiate the beta‐cell autoimmune destruction. The rate of childhood obesity has risen in parallel to the proportion of T1D, suggesting high‐fat diet (HFD)/obesity as potential environmental triggers for autoimmune diabetes. To explore this, non‐obese diabetic (NOD) mice were subjected to HFD and monitored for the development of diabetes, insulitis and beta‐cell stress.Materials and MethodsFour‐week‐old female NOD mice were placed on HFD (HFD‐NOD) or standard chow‐diet. Blood glucose was monitored weekly up to 40 weeks of age, and glucose‐ and insulin‐tolerance tests performed at 4, 10 and 15 weeks. Pancreata and islets were analysed for insulin secretion, beta‐cell mass, inflammation, insulitis and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers. Immune cell levels were measured in islets and spleens. Stool microbiome was analysed at age 4, 8 and 25 weeks.ResultsAt early ages, HFD‐NOD mice showed a significant increase in body weight, glucose intolerance and insulin resistance; but paradoxically, they were protected from developing diabetes. This was accompanied by increased insulin secretion and beta‐cell mass, decreased insulitis, increased splenic T‐regulatory cells and altered stool microbiome.ConclusionsThis study shows that HFD protects NOD mice from autoimmune diabetes and preserves beta‐cell mass and function through alterations in gut microbiome, increased T‐regulatory cells and decreased insulitis. Further studies into the exact mechanism of HFD‐mediated prevention of diabetes in NOD mice could potentially lead to interventions to prevent or delay T1D development in humans.
Why are aid projects less effective in the Pacific?
Authors: Wood Terence , Otor Sabit , Dornan Matthew 
Published: July 2021

AbstractMotivationThe Pacific is the world’s most aid‐dependent region, yet available data suggest aid projects are less effective on average in the Pacific than elsewhere in the developing world.PurposeThis article examines the most likely explanations for lower aid project effectiveness in the Pacific. Explanations include poor governance, restricted levels of political freedom, poor economic performance, isolation, and small populations.Methods and approachThree approaches to causal mediation analysis are used to identify which explanatory variables best explain why aid projects are less effective in the Pacific. Aid project effectiveness data come from a multi‐donor dataset of individual aid projects. Data on potential explanatory variables comes from a range of international datasets.FindingsAll three causal mediation approaches point to the isolation of many Pacific countries, alongside comparatively small populations, as being the main impediments to project effectiveness. These findings hold even with a suite of project traits being controlled for and within an analysis in which all the key country variables of interest are controlled for.Policy implicationsProject effectiveness in the Pacific appears to be primarily constrained by variables that cannot themselves be shifted (the region’s countries cannot readily be made less remote or more populous). Improved project effectiveness in the Pacific will require donor practice to carefully adapt to the region’s context. A structured process of donor learning will be needed.

AbstractBackground/AimSelf‐contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA) diving has grown tremendously as a recreational sport over the past decade. The pain divers experience due to barometric changes is referred to as barodontalgia, and it is known to cause various oral pathoses. Furthermore, divers suffer more frequently from temporomandibular disorders than non‐divers. The aim of the study was to characterize oral pathoses between military divers and military non‐divers.Material and MethodsData from the dental files of healthy Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers aged 18–40 years were collected retrospectively for the years 2011–2020. The data for subjects exposed to diving were compared to commando and special forces soldiers.ResultsThe study population was composed of 6398 soldiers, which included 1036 divers and 5362 non‐divers. All participants were male, with a median age of 22 years (mean = 22.1 years). Overall, higher rates of faulty dental restorations were seen among divers than non‐divers (9.3% vs. 6.7% p = .006). Temporomandibular disorders were more prevalent among divers, specifically Disc Displacement Without Reduction (DDWOR) (0.4% vs. 0.1% p = .003). While dental fractures showed no significant difference between divers and non‐divers (3.8% vs. 3.5% p = 0.8), other oral injuries were nine times more prevalent among divers versus non‐divers.ConclusionMilitary divers are, overall, at a higher risk of oral pathoses than non‐divers. This may be related to the characteristics and intensity of their military service.

AbstractProduction of maize, Zea mays L. (Poaceae), in sub‐Saharan Africa is threatened by a new invasive pest, fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae). To mitigate this threat, push–pull companion cropping, a system originally developed for management of lepidopteran stemborers, may be used to control FAW. The original system involved trap crops that functioned as a ‘pull’ component to attract moths away from the main crop. How grass species can be used as trap crops in a push–pull system to control FAW is a question that remains to be answered, because maize is already a highly preferred host plant. Therefore, we tested oviposition preference of FAW female moths in no‐choice and two‐choice experiments and larval performance on six selected grasses (Poaceae) to assess their roles as trap crop ‘pull’ plants in the system. In no‐choice tests, numbers of eggs deposited on Brachiaria brizantha (Hochst. ex A. Rich.) R. Webster cv. ‘Piata’, cv. ‘Mulato II’, and cv. ‘Xaraes’, and Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum K. Schumach) cv. ‘South Africa’ were not statistically different from those deposited on maize. In two‐choice tests between grasses and maize, there were no significant differences in number of eggs laid when the plants were of the same size. However, in two‐choice tests with maize plants half of the size of the grasses, significantly more eggs were laid on B. brizantha cv. Xaraes and P. purpureum cv. South Africa than on maize, suggesting that crop phenology could make a difference. Numbers of larvae arrested on grass leaf cuts were considerably lower than those on maize leaf cuts after 48 h. In two‐choice tests with maize, molasses grass (Melinis minutiflora P. Beauv.) was the only grass that was significantly preferred to maize for larval settlement after 24 h. After 48 h in the two‐choice test, it was the only grass that retained larvae, although the larval count was significantly lower than on maize. Our data show that none of the grasses tested were strongly preferred to maize, but the results indicate plants attractive to FAW adults and larvae that could be utilized in a multiple trap crop approach to target various stages of the pest. Furthermore, results indicate the importance of planting these companion plants earlier than maize.

1. The reproduction of specialised endophagous insects relies on a fine temporal synchronization between the insect and its host plant phenology.2. Since the spatial distribution and local prevalence of specialised insects depend on both environmental conditions and biotic interactions, in this study, we assessed whether the life cycle of the predispersal seed feeding weevil, Hemicolpus abdominalis (Curculionidae), is synchronised with the reproductive phenology of its host plant, Tocoyena formosa (Rubiaceae) in the Brazilian Cerrado. Following an ecological niche modelling approach, we also tested whether the predicted distribution of this specialised weevil matches that of its host plant.3. We observed a tight synchronization between the weevil reproduction and its host plant reproductive phenology. After emergence from the fruits, adult weevils enter in reproductive diapause, with reproductive development resuming in the next reproductive season, which indicates the univoltism of this species.4. There was a high spatial congruence in the distribution of H. abdominalis and its host plant. Since the reproduction of H. abdominalis is synchronised with the host plant phenology, temporal mismatches between the weevil life cycle, and plant reproduction may affect the long‐term population prevalence of the insect.5. The life cycle of the predispersal seed feeding weevil, H. abdominalis, depends on a close match with the host plant reproductive phenology, whose fruit production is entirely dependent on long‐tongued hawkmoth pollinators. Hence, we highlight the importance of both biotic and abiotic conditions in shaping the distribution range of a specialised endophagous insect.
