Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTObjectiveA large number of studies—usually based on samples of adults—have revealed a negative relationship between cognitive abilities and right‐wing ideological attitudes. Recently, this relationship has been claimed to be weaker among adolescents.MethodWe administered data in a sample of adolescents (N = 531) who completed a full cognitive abilities test, as well as a number of abridged, performance‐based emotional abilities tests. We also administered Right‐Wing Authoritarianism (RWA), Social Dominance Orientation (SDO), and Left‐Wing Authoritarianism (LWA).ResultsThe results revealed the relationships that mirror the pattern obtained in adult samples, both among middle (age 17 or younger) and late adolescents (age 18 or older). Specifically, the relationship between cognitive abilities and ideological attitudes emerged with a similar magnitude. Not only did the analyses reaffirm previous studies with regard to the relationships for RWA and SDO, but we also revealed meaningful relationships for LWA. Moreover, emotional abilities bore out even stronger relationships than cognitive abilities.ConclusionsThe present results thus show that the relationships between cognitive and emotional abilities on the one hand and ideological attitudes on the other hand also apply to adolescents. We discuss the need to better understand the development of ideological attitudes throughout childhood and adolescence.

Published: December 2024

AbstractObjectivesThis study examined the association of social determinants of health (SDOH) domains on oral health status.MethodsWe used the nationally representative 2022 Health Center Patient Survey and the 2021–2022 Area Health Resource File. We constructed seven domains on burden of SDOH disadvantage: (1) oral health behavior, (2) dental service use and access, (3) general health service use and access, (4) social, (5) economic, (6) contextual or physical environment, and (7) health condition indicators, and calculated a score per domain. We assessed the association between SDOH domains and four oral health measures: (1) poor self‐assessed oral health, (2) low functional dentition, (3) acute dental need, and (4) chronic symptoms in logistic regressions.ResultsSDOH domains had different degrees of association with outcomes. Oral health behavior, health condition, and economic indicators were positively associated with all outcomes. General health service use and access, and contextual or physical environment were positively associated with all outcomes except for low functional dentition. Dental service use and access indicators were associated with higher likelihood of poor oral health (7.3%) and low functional dentition (2.5%). Social indicators were associated with higher likelihood of poor oral health (3.1%).ConclusionsFindings highlight the importance of measuring the burden of SDOH disadvantage and including it in care provision. Findings indicate the need for more access through better integration of oral health within primary care, provision of nonclinical services to link patients with social services to promote oral health, and further support of these approaches by payer.
A Health Systems Strengthening Approach to Address the High Burden of Hepatitis C in Pakistan
Authors: Qureshi Mahnoor 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTHepatitis C virus infection is a serious liver disease that can progress to cirrhosis and, in chronic cases, lead to liver cancer or liver failure. Pakistan has the second highest burden of HCV in the world, a rising number of liver cancer cases and a unique pattern of healthcare‐associated HCV transmission. Unfortunately, the country is not on track to meet the WHO's target of complete elimination of HCV by 2030. The current reliance on vertical programmes for hepatitis elimination may seem effective in the short term, but is often unsustainable, ineffective and contributes to the fragmentation of the health system. This review proposes a health system strengthening approach to HCV detection and prevention in the country. It critically evaluates the country's health system and the existing evidence on HCV prevention and treatment, proposing evidence‐based strategies for decentralising HCV services and integrating them into the primary healthcare infrastructure. It examines the effectiveness of methods such as task shifting and targeted interventions while suggesting changes to healthcare practices to reduce healthcare‐associated transmission of HCV and other blood‐borne pathogens.
Revisiting the public versus private debate on model statutes for collective copyright management organisations in China
Authors: Liu Jie 
Published: December 2024

AbstractChina received the collective copyright management concept during a period of economic transition and constructed collective management organisations (CMOs) as social organisations exhibiting a discernible inclination towards a public administrative objective rather than one concerned with market considerations. Consequently, CMOs in China have manifested behavioural patterns distinct from those of other private entities. This paper revisits the problem of CMOs in China with a focus on organisational structure issues. The contention posited in this paper is that the correct focal point for current debate should not concern the feasibility of multiple CMOs coexisting, but rather should revolve around the essential discussion between public versus private legal model statutes for CMOs in China, and thereafter on the regulatory architecture governing the coexistence of CMOs alongside alternative independent rights‐clearing entities.
Don DeLillo's descent into posthuman anxieties in Zero K and The Silence
Authors: Suyoufie Fadia F. , Dagamseh Abdullah M. 
Published: December 2024

AbstractThis study provides an exponential reading of the (re)presentation of posthuman technology in relation to human anxieties in Don DeLillo's Zero K (2016), a novel in which technology is very much “alive” and The Silence (2020), in which technology is “dead.” It focuses on DeLillo's apprehension about the impact of technology in relation to everyday life and to the future of humanity. The anxiety over a posthuman existence where Man is reduced to impotence in his total surrender to the control of technology is examined to show DeLillo's concern over the insidious process of dehumanization and depersonalization of the human subject. The discussion is carried out by applying a close textual analysis of the novels within the context of the existential, environmental, and eschatological issues that are considered staples of his narratives. The conclusion affirms DeLillo's stand on the ambiguity of technology and his implicit commitment to ordinary life and to the ethics of human interrelationships as a confirmation of human identity.

ABSTRACTAimTo report a case series of two large VMs treated by sclerotherapy with further surgical resection for aesthetic purposes and discuss its outcomes.Case ReportsCase 1: Six applications were performed with different volumes (1.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5 and 0.5 mL, respectively) of Monoethanolamine Oleate (EO) in a VM lesion that affected the buccal mucosa and labial commissure (lesion size: 50 × 33.3 mm), associated with late surgical resection of exceeding cicatricial tissue in a 24‐year‐old female patient. Recurrence occurred after 120 days of follow‐up due to parafunctional suction. Case 2: three applications with different volumes of EO (1.0, 0.8 and 0.8 mL respectively) were performed in an upper lip VM lesion (lesion size: 30 × 40 mm) associated with late surgical resection and cheiloplasty in a 19‐year‐old male patient. Two months of follow‐up showed no signs of recurrence. At the present time, both patients are under observation.ConclusionResolution of VMs can be achieved with different treatment options; especially in arteriovenous VMs, the definitive resolution it is challenging. Recurrence can happen if the main vessel was not achieved by sclerosing agent or if adjuvant parafunction is involved. VMs correct clinical diagnosis and classification is crucial in order to achieve optimal outcomes and prognosis.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundOral lichen planus (OLP) is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory condition affecting the oral mucosa. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a noncontagious rare chronic inflammatory disease of the liver characterised by interface hepatitis, circulating autoantibodies and increased serum IgG in the absence of other liver diseases. Only two cases of OLP in the background of AIH had been reported.Case PresentationA 24‐year‐old female presented to oral medicine clinic with an intraoral white lesion associated with pain while taking spicy and hot food. The pain was described as pricking‐like pain and limited to the tongue and bilateral buccal mucosa. She was diagnosed with AIH when she was 2 years old and is on Azathioprine 150 mg and oral prednisolone 5 mg once daily. She has no known allergy and risk habits. The social and dental history was noncontributory. Intraoral examination revealed poor oral hygiene, multiple unscrapable, nontender and nonfirm white lesions in the oral cavity. On biopsy, these lesions were confirmed as OLP.ConclusionWe present a rare case of OLP in a known case of AIH, and this is the third to be reported in the literature. Future investigation might warrant a new insight on the correlations between AIH and OLP as there are increasing reports on OLP and autoimmune diseases.
A role for root carbonic anhydrase βCA4 in the bicarbonate tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana

Published: December 2024

AbstractCarbonic anhydrases (CAs) are the main enzymes handling bicarbonate in the different cell compartments. This study analyses the expression of CAs in roots of Arabidopsis thaliana demes differing in tolerance to bicarbonate: the tolerant A1(C+) deme and the sensitive deme, T6(C‐). Exposure to 10 mM NaCl caused a transient depolarization of the root cell membranes, and in contrast, the supply of 10 mM NaHCO3 caused hyperpolarization. This hyperpolarization was much stronger in A1(C+) than in T6(C‐). Acetazolamide (AZ), a specific inhibitor of CAs, abolished the hyperpolarizing effect in A1(C+), indicating the implication of CAs in this fast membrane response. The time‐dependent (3 to 72 h) expression profiles of 14 CAs in roots of A1(C+) and T6(C‐) exposed to either control (0 mM NaHCO3, pH 5.9), or bicarbonate (10 mM NaHCO3,pH 8.3) conditions revealed a bicarbonate specific upregulation of BCA4.1 (from 3 to 12 h) in A1(C+). Contrastingly, in T6(C‐) BCA4.1 was downregulated by NaHCO3. Exclusively in A1(C+), the enhanced expression of BCA4.1 under bicarbonate was parallelled by an increase of PIP1,3, SLAH1, SLAH3, AHA2, and FRO2 gene expression levels. Under HCO3− exposure, a bca4 knockout mutant had a lower number of lateral roots, lower root diameters, and higher root lipid peroxidation than the WT. These results indicate that bicarbonate‐induced root membrane hyperpolarization is the fast (minutes) initial signalling event in the tolerance response. This is followed by the specific upregulation of BCA4.1 and genes involved in H2O and CO2 transport, apoplast acidification, and iron acquisition.
Reducing homelessness: An intergovernmental challenge
Authors: Callahan Richard F. , Redburn Steve , Larson Lauren , Riley Brad 
Published: December 2024

AbstractTo increase understanding of the intergovernmental dimension of addressing homelessness, the National Academy of Public Administration in 2022 formed a Working Group of Academy Fellows. In researching three case studies that have had a measure of success, local leaders reached across geographic and functional boundaries to forge agreement on shared goals and joint strategy. Five basic tasks at the local level contributed to effective initiatives: One, defining, committing to, and communicating the challenge of homelessness, with agreement on shared objectives and a coordinated strategy. Two, building a network to coordinate the contributions of each partner. Three, designing and delivering timely integrated services by aligning federal and state programs to the local context. Four, collecting, using, and sharing data to inform planning and targeted delivery of assistance. Five, building or strengthening governance and financing structures that support continued action and learning to sustain and improve local efforts over time.
Dental management of people with congenital hemophilia: An integrative review of case reports and case series from a global scenario

Published: December 2024

AbstractObjectiveTo analyze the various dental management strategies adopted to manage patients with hemophilia in a dental clinical setup.MethodsAn electronic database search was carried out using MEDLINE by PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases from January 2000 to August 2023 for case reports and case series published in English language. Case reports addressing the dental treatments for people with hemophilia A/hemophilia B were included. Cases of acquired hemophilia and cases of hemophilia who are inhibitor positive were excluded.ResultsThere was a total of 286 articles that were identified of which 24 reports were included for the review. This included 20 case reports and four case series which addressed various dental treatment procedures performed on people with mild/moderate/severe hemophilia A or hemophilia B. A total of 28 patients were presented with a mean age of 20.4 years. The pre‐treatment factor ranged from 200 to 2500 IU and the post‐treatment factor range was 1000–3000 IU.ConclusionsThere was a wide range of variation in the utilization of prophylactic factors for dental treatment procedures among people with hemophilia. This variation highlights the need for larger prospective clinical studies that address the rationale for using clotting factor concentrate and its impact on dental treatment outcomes for individuals with mild, moderate, or severe hemophilia.
Development of Scaling Parameter SR for Negative Stress Ratios R Based on Trend in Experimental Data for Fatigue Crack Growth Rates of Austenitic Stainless Steels for ASME Code Section XI
Authors: Negyesi Martin , Yamaguchi Yoshihito , Hasegawa Kunio , Lacroix Valery , Morley Andrew 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
Fatigue crack growth rates da/dN for stainless steels in air environment are provided by the ASME Code Section XI. The fatigue crack growth rates are given by da/dN = CF(ΔK)n, where CF is the fatigue crack growth rate coefficient, n is the fatigue crack growth rate exponent and ΔK is the stress intensity factor range. The coefficient CF contains a temperature parameter ST, and a scaling parameter SR, which is a function of the stress ratio R. When the stress ratio R is positive from 0 to 1, the parameter SR increases with the increasing ratio R, and da/dN increases with the increasing stress ratio R. When R is less than 0, SR = 1. Hence, fatigue crack growth rates under negative stress ratios are independent of stress ratios according to the ASME Code Section XI. However, from the results of literature survey, experimental data reveal that the fatigue crack growth rates decrease with decreasing R ratios below zero, i.e., negative stress ratios, when being expressed by da/dN = CF(ΔK)n, where ΔK is the full range of the stress intensity factor. The objective of this paper is to assess fatigue crack growth rates under such negative stress ratios for stainless steels in air environment. An equation determined from trends in experimental data surveyed in this study is proposed for negative R ratios to calculate the parameter SR for the ASME Code Section XI, Appendix Y.
An Integrated Sensor Fault Estimation and Fault-Tolerant Control Design Approach for Continuous-Time Switched Systems

Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper proposes a robust integrated fault estimation (FE) and fault-tolerant control (FTC) strategy for a class of continuous-time switched systems in the presence of unknown external disturbances and sensor faults. The main idea focuses on designing a switched descriptor observer to achieve simultaneous estimations of system states and sensor faults. With the acquired estimation information, an integrated development of the estimated state feedback fault-tolerant controller is constructed to compensate for the fault effects by stabilizing the switched closed-loop system. Based on the average dwell time (ADT) concept and the Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional method, new and less conservative stability conditions are established with a prescribed H∞ performance level in a single-step linear matrix inequality (LMI) formulation. Finally, both a numerical example and a highly maneuverable aircraft technology (HiMAT) vehicle are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the developed strategy.
Stabilization of a Rigid Body in Two Fluids With Surface Tension
Authors: Do K. D. 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper poses and solves a stabilization problem of a rigid body governed by nonlinear differential equations in two viscous incompressible fluids governed by Navier–Stokes equations (NSEs), where surface tension of the interface between the two fluids is considered, in a bounded domain in three dimensional space. Since only weak solutions of the NSEs exist globally while global existence of their strong/smooth solutions is a millennium problem, point-wise fluid forces and moments acting on the rigid body are not able to bound. This difficulty is overcome by designing an appropriate control law and performing stability analysis of the closed-loop system including the NSEs and surface tension, where “work and power of the two fluids” instead of forces and moments on the rigid body are used. A simulation is included to illustrate the results.
Manual Dexterity in Open-Water Wetsuited Swimmers: A Cohort Crossover Study
Authors: Morton William J. , Melau Jørgen , Olsen Roar A. , Løvvik Ole Martin , Hisdal Jonny , Søvik Signe 
Published: December 2024

Purpose: Laboratory studies have demonstrated that manual dexterity decreases with increasing cold, which may adversely affect performance. Dexterity may be impaired by cooling of the hand, cooling of the lower motor neurons, and cognitive impairment. Wetsuits are commonly used in open-water swimming and are mandated in some situations. This study investigates the effects of cold-water wetsuited swimming on dexterity. Methods: Five male and 4 female trained swimmers were recruited for this cohort crossover study. Following dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scans to determine body composition, they swam in a freshwater lake on 7 occasions with water temperatures between 24.5 °C and 8.4 °C. Dexterity was measured preswim and postswim with a “nut–washer–bolt assembly time test” and cognition with a Stroop test. Core and peripheral body temperatures were continuously monitored. Effects were analyzed by linear mixed-model regression. Results: Pre–post swim difference in time to complete the nut–bolt assembly increased as water temperatures decreased (1.0 s, 95% CI, 0.5–1.5 per 1 °C, P < .0001; R2 = .456), to a maximum of 14.7 seconds (95% CI, 3.3–26.0). This represented a 47.5% increase in assembly time from 24.5 °C to 8.4 °C, which we consider to be of practical significance. Decreased dexterity was associated with decreased forearm and scapular temperature and decreased cognitive function. Body composition did not affect dexterity, cognitive function, or body temperature during swims. Water temperature did not affect swim speed. Conclusions: Despite the use of wetsuits, manual dexterity decreased with cold-water swimming. Swimmers, triathletes, and event organizers should consider the implications for safety, performance, and equipment utilization.
A Racialized Examination of the Programmatic Utility and Salary Distribution of Football Bowl Subdivision Football Coaches
Authors: Corr Chris , Macaulay Charles D.T. , Caro Cary A. 
Published: December 2024

Extensive research explores a variety of factors contributing to coaching salaries. This study demonstrates a racial compensation discrepancy among Football Bowl Subdivision football coaches. When factoring for variations (i.e., recruiting responsibilities and team performance), compensation disparities result in Black coaches receiving lesser salaries than their White counterparts. We elaborate on historical and contemporary factors influencing compensation discrepancies reflecting structural racism permeating U.S. society. We also discuss the practical and theoretical implications of disparities in Football Bowl Subdivision football coaches’ salaries and advocate for increased compensation and advancement opportunities for highly qualified, but currently underpaid, Black coaching talent. Results indicate how, despite gains in representation, Black coaches still experience racial discrimination in compensation, demonstrating yet another example of institutionalized racial stratification.
Lemierre’s Syndrome Due to Klebsiella pneumoniae Results in Pulmonary Abscess Complications in a Patient With Diabetes: A Rare Case Report
Authors: Ngo Trung Dinh , Nguyen Cuong Thai , Ho Nam 
Published: December 2024

Background: Lemierre’s syndrome (LS), first described by Andre Lemierre in the early 20th century, is a rare but potentially life‐threatening condition typically caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. However, recent literature has reported cases of LS caused by various other bacteria, including Klebsiella pneumoniae. In this report, we present a rare case of LS in a patient with diabetes caused by K. pneumoniae.Case Report: A 62‐year‐old Vietnamese male with a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, presented with an 8‐day history of progressive left neck swelling, fever, dysphagia, odynophagia, and reduced appetite. Despite initial antibiotic therapy, his condition deteriorated, leading to pulmonary abscesses and septic shock. Abscess content culture revealed K. pneumoniae. The patient required intubation, mechanical ventilation, and surgical drainage of the neck abscess. Treatment with meropenem, along with glycemic control, led to clinical improvement. The patient was subsequently extubated, achieved complete wound healing, and was discharged with normal biochemical parameters.Conclusion: This case highlights that LS can be caused by pathogens not initially outlined by Andre Lemierre, such as K. pneumoniae. Clinicians should consider a broader spectrum of causative organisms when there is a strong clinical suspicion of LS and adjust antimicrobial coverage accordingly. The association between K. pneumoniae‐related LS and diabetes mellitus warrants further investigation, as current evidence suggests that diabetes may predispose patients to this particular pathogen.
