AbstractBackground/AimAccurate removal of composite bonded titanium trauma splints (TTS) can be challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate a Fluorescence‐aided Identification Technique (FIT) compared with a conventional light source (CT) for removal of trauma splints regarding loss of tooth substance, residual composite, and time taken.Materials and MethodsTwenty maxillary models with six bovine teeth (13 ‐ 23) were fabricated. An optical three‐dimensional impression was taken and a TTS was applied from 12 to 22 with two bonding sites on every tooth under standardized conditions using an etch‐and‐rinse adhesive and resin composite. Two operators removed 10 splints each (5x FIT and 5x CT). For FIT, a 405 nm light‐emitting headlamp was used. Time was recorded. A post‐operative scan was superimposed on the pre‐operative scan using OraCheck software. A qualitative and quantitative analysis of tooth defects and composite remnants was performed by two operators and statistically analyzed.ResultsCompared with the CT, FIT led to significantly fewer and smaller enamel defects (mean volume: −0.04 mm3 vs −0.33 mm3) (P < 0.001), significantly less composite remained (mean volume: 0.02 mm3 vs 0.28 mm3) (P < 0.001), and the removal procedure with FIT was significantly quicker (mean: 162 seconds vs 268 seconds) (P < 0.001),ConclusionsFIT facilitated the removal of composite used to bond trauma splints leading to less time‐consuming as well as less invasive treatment. It left fewer composite residues on enamel surfaces.

AbstractObjectivesAllied health and complementary and alternative medicines (CAM) are therapeutic therapies commonly accessed by consumers to manage low back pain (LBP). We aimed to identify the literature regarding patients' perceived needs for physiotherapy, chiropractic therapy and CAM for the management of LBP.MethodsA systematic scoping review of MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL and PsycINFO (1990‐2016) was conducted to identify studies examining patients' perceived needs for allied health and CAM for LBP. Data regarding study design and methodology were extracted. Areas of patients' perceived need for allied health and CAM were aggregated.ResultsForty‐four studies from 2202 were included: 25 qualitative, 18 quantitative and 1 mixed‐methods study. Three areas of need emerged: (i) physiotherapy was viewed as important, particularly when individually tailored. However, patients had concerns about adherence, adverse outcomes and correct exercise technique. (ii) Chiropractic therapy was perceived to be effective and needed by some patients, but others were concerned about adverse outcomes. (iii) An inconsistent need for CAM was identified with some patients perceiving a need, while others questioning the legitimacy and short‐term duration of these therapies.ConclusionsOur findings regarding patients' perceived needs for allied health and CAM for LBP may assist in informing development of more patient‐centred guidelines and service models for LBP. Understanding patients' concerns regarding active‐based physiotherapy, which is recommended in most guidelines, and issues surrounding chiropractic and CAM, which are generally not, may help inform management that better aligns patient's perceived needs with effective treatments, to improve outcomes for both patients and the health‐care system.
Pentecostal Mission: A German Free Church Perspective
Authors: Ehmann Matthias 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThe Pentecostal movement is growing worldwide. This applies both globally and to the German context. Pentecostal mission, therefore, plays an increasingly important role – a role that is also reflected in new networks and institutions emerging in Germany. As Pentecostal churches increase in importance, their ecumenical relationships are also moving into focus. The reproach of prosyletism arises repeatedly at the intersection of mission and ecumenism in ecumenical discussions. This article illustrates the development of ecumenical relations in Pentecostal churches in Germany from a Free Church perspective, viewing ecumenical challenges and opportunities in relation to approaches of church theory.
Doing Pentecostal Civic Engagement in the Squatter Area of Lower Rock Quarry, Baguio City, Philippines
Authors: Tejedo Joel A. 
Published: July 2018

AbstractPentecostals are frequently placed on the sidelines of civic engagement, seen as participating less in public life because of their preoccupation with other‐worldly eschatology and their one‐way‐ticket evangelistic efforts. This study does not share the above view, but argues that Pentecostal civic engagement has been increasingly recognized as resource capital that empowers the lives of the poor. This paper investigates the impact of Pentecostal/charismatic religion on civil society, asking what contribution the study of “spirit empowered” religion can make to our understanding of the role of religion in human society. Using a quantitative and qualitative approach to flesh out empirical evidence, this study reveals what Filipino Pentecostals believe and practise with regard to civic engagement. It provides a case study of findings to further point out that Pentecostals in the Philippines are not on the sidelines of civic engagement, but are one of the religious players in the creation of a just and loving society.
The Romanian Pentecostal Agency for Foreign Mission (APME): A Case Study in Cross‐Cultural Mission Originating from Eastern Europe
Authors: Rițișan Gheorghe , Constantineanu Corneliu 
Published: July 2018

AbstractThis paper offers a short analysis of the ecclesiological and missiological context that led to the establishment of the Romanian Pentecostal Agency for Foreign Mission (APME). It states the main steps in the process of the development of the organization in its first decade of existence (2006–2016), during which it became one of the youngest and most dynamic missionary structures in Europe. It describes the process of the birth of APME and the important role the founding team played in the existence of the agency and in articulating the mission, vision, values, and work philosophy. The main section will present the components of APME's work strategy which led to implementing the vision and reaching the objectives: mobilizing the churches, recruiting, training, sending, supporting missionaries, and promoting the ministry. A short section will show the crucial importance of internal and foreign partnerships in the activity of APME. In the final part we will list the main lessons learned in the ten years of APME's existence that can be shared with other mission organizations, as well as the challenges that the organization faces over the next few years.

AbstractQuaternary oxides In12Ti10Al2MgO42 (ITAM), In12Ti10Al2ZnO42 (ITAZ), In12Ti10Ga2MgO42 (ITGM), and In12Ti10Ga2ZnO42 (ITGZ), were synthesized by the solid‐state reaction method and the dielectric behavior is reported. The samples were submitted to different sintering temperatures (1473‐1773 K) for 24 hours and the phase stability and microstructure were analyzed by X‐ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is found that the phase decomposition occurs above of 1573 K. Microstructure images showed an increase in the grains size as sintering temperature was raised. The dielectric permittivity as a function of temperature and frequency showed acceptable dielectric constant (15‐30) and low dielectric loss (tan δ << 1) values in a wide range of temperature. The band gap obtained by the optical spectrum analysis is about 3.5 eV indicating good dielectric insulating compounds. Furthermore, the electrical conductivity, the activation energy, and the conduction mechanisms are analyzed and discussed in a whole range of temperature. The good dielectric values, ε′ (15‐20) and tan δ (~0.004), and their behavior (almost independent of the frequency and temperature) almost constant within a wide range of temperature make these quaternary oxides interesting in electroceramic applications.
Infant wake after sleep onset serves as a marker for different trajectories in cognitive development

Published: July 2018

BackgroundSleep variables have been linked to improved functioning of learning and memory throughout life, with most studies focusing on older children and adults. Since infancy is a time of outstanding plasticity, sleep variables could be particularly important for cognitive development in that age group.MethodsThis is a longitudinal study collecting data from 40 infants at four different time points of 4, 6, 8 and 10 months. Sleep variables were assessed using actigraphy for a week, as well as a sleep questionnaire. Eye‐tracking was employed to examine developmental cognitive trajectories. Infants had to remember the location of a toy that had previously been linked to a sound and an eye‐tracker recorded whether they were searching the correct location upon hearing the sound.ResultsBased on their trajectories between 4 and 10 months, infants were divided into two groups who shifted their response strategies at different time points. Those two groups also differed in other aspects of their looking patterns and scored increasingly differently in the Ages & Stages Questionnaire over time. Time spent awake in the night early in life was reduced in the group who changed their strategy earlier.ConclusionsWhile previous research examined the relation of infant sleep and cognitive functioning measured once, this paper provides first evidence that night wake time can serve as a marker for different cognitive trajectories.

Published: July 2018

AbstractAims and objectivesTo improve the understanding and competence of health personnel when caring for ambivalent pregnant women, the aim of this study was to explore the experiences of encountering women who are unsure whether to complete or terminate pregnancy.BackgroundFeelings of ambivalence are present in a significant number of women preparing for abortions and may challenge the provision of health care. Health personnel have reported an ideal to be nonjudgemental and supportive. Insufficient attention has been directed to the experiences of health personnel who prepare women for abortions in gynaecological units.DesignQualitative design with a hermeneutic‐phenomenological approach.MethodsFocus group interviews were conducted with health personnel from four gynaecological outpatient clinics and wards in Norway (n = 20).ResultsThe health personnel felt responsible for contributing to patient well‐being. This demanded focused attention towards all women being prepared for abortions and meant a consciousness and balancing act towards revealing, handling and being involved in the woman's potential unsureness without influencing her decision. When involved, the health personnel risked being confronted with their own vulnerabilities and values.ConclusionsThe health personnel tried to balance their care and support without influencing the woman's decision. Although they viewed the women as fully autonomous and responsible, they became personally involved, to varying degrees, in the uncertainty and were faced with their own vulnerabilities and values. They lacked a possibility for immediate debriefing and regular counselling after complicated consultations.Relevance to clinical practiceKnowledge of the experiences of health personnel can provide input for professional development at gynaecological departments. These findings contribute to discussions about what information should be given and whether the woman's feelings should be discussed in preparation for an abortion. The ability of health personnel to discuss subjects related to ethically challenging encounters with women who are considering abortions should be established, namely, professional education and workshops at the national level and small groups with counselling and case study discussions at hospitals.
Root metabolic plasticity underlies functional diversity in mycorrhiza‐enhanced stress tolerance in tomato

Published: July 2018

Summary

Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses can improve plant tolerance to multiple stresses. We compared three AM fungi (AMF) from different genera, one of them isolated from a dry and saline environment, in terms of their ability to increase tomato tolerance to moderate or severe drought or salt stress. Plant physiological parameters and metabolic profiles were compared in order to find the molecular mechanisms underlying plant protection against stress.

Mycorrhizal growth response was determined, and ultrahigh‐performance LC‐MS was used to compare the metabolic profile of plants under the different treatments.

All AMF increased plant tolerance to stress, and the positive effects of the symbiosis were correlated with the severity of the stress. The AMF isolated from the stressful environment was the most effective in improving plant tolerance to salt stress. Differentially accumulated compounds were identified and the antistress properties of some of them were confirmed.

We demonstrate that AM symbioses increase plant metabolic plasticity to cope with stress. Some responses were common to all AMF tested, while others were specifically related to particular isolates. Important metabolism reprograming was evidenced upon salt stress, and we identified metabolic pathways and compounds differentially accumulated in mycorrhizas that may underlie their enhanced tolerance to stress.
Long‐term changes in a kelp bed of Eisenia bicyclis (Kjellman) Setchell due to subsidence caused by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake in Shizugawa Bay, Japan

SUMMARYWe monitored an Eisenia bicyclis kelp bed during a survey of the rocky coast subtidal zone of Shizugawa Bay, the Sanriku Coast, northeastern Honshu, Japan, from 23 July 2008, to detail the biodiversity, which was subsequently directly impacted by the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake (GEJE). To assess temporal changes in abundance of the dominant canopy forming kelp E. bicyclis and in the distribution patterns of macroalgae along a water depth gradient, percent coverage of macroalgae has been observed in permanent quadrats set near the lower limit of the Eisenia bed and in quadrats set along a water depth gradient. The GEJE, which induced huge tsunami waves and coseismic seafloor subsidence, occurred during the monitoring survey period and also affected the coastal communities in Shizugawa Bay. After the GEJE, the cover of E. bicyclis within the permanent quadrats near the lower limit of E. bicyclis gradually declined, and reached zero by July 2014. Also in the line transect survey, the offshore (deep) edge of the Eisenia bed showed a tendency to shift shoreward (upward) after the GEJE; the Eisenia bed near the pre‐earthquake offshore (deep) edge declined and finally disappeared after the GEJE. Combined with results of the permanent quadrat and line transect surveys, the post‐earthquake gradual decline and subsequent complete disappearance of the Eisenia bed within the permanent quadrats probably indicates an upward shift of the deep edge of the subsided kelp bed. Gradual change in the E. bicyclis bed over 2 years after the GEJE is a unique opportunity to document the response of a kelp bed to coseismic subsidence, demonstrating the slow and prolonged recovery process of E. bicyclis to subsidence caused by the mega‐earthquake to the pre‐earthquake depth zone.
Remittances, Dutch Disease, and Manufacturing Growth in Developing Economies
Authors: Daway‐Ducanes Sarah Lynne Salvador 
Published: July 2018

AbstractRemittances have grown tremendously in magnitude and economic importance in the past four decades, providing economies with additional disposable incomes and even serving as buffers against economic downturns. It is thus but fitting to ask how remittances have impacted on growth, particularly on manufacturing growth. This note presents a simple model linking remittances and manufacturing growth via a ‘Dutch Disease’ channel. Using Blundell and Bond's (1998) system general method of moments on a panel dataset of 56 developing economies from 1992 to 2016, we verify that remittances adversely affect manufacturing growth in economies that experience high real appreciation rates. This result is robust to alternate specifications, such as the inclusion of financial development indicators, the expansion of the sample to include high‐income economies, and the use of different sample periods.

Published: July 2018

AbstractThe phylogeny of the fungus gnat family Mycetophilidae (Diptera) is reconstructed with a focus on the species‐rich and taxonomically difficult subfamilies Gnoristinae and Mycomyinae. The multigene phylogenetic analyses are based on five nuclear (18S, 28S, CAD, MCS, ITS2) and four mitochondrial (12S, 16S, COI, CytB) gene markers. The analyses strongly support the monophyly of Mycetophilidae and the subfamilies Manotinae, Sciophilinae, Leiinae, and Mycomyinae, although Gnoristinae is paraphyletic with respect to Mycetophilinae. All the genera and groups of genera included are supported as monophyletic, except for Acomoptera Vockeroth, Boletina Staeger, Dziedzickia Johannsen, Ectrepesthoneura Enderlein, and Neoempheria Osten Sacken. Ancestral character state reconstructions were applied to two morphological features present in Gnoristinae and Mycomyinae (i.e. presence of setae on wing membrane and wing vein R4) in order to assess their evolution. The wing vein R4 appears as an unstable character, spread throughout different clades. A dated phylogeny of the family Mycetophilidae showed that most of the subfamilies of Mycetophilidae originated and diversified during the Cretaceous. The youngest subfamilies, originated in the Paleogene, appear to be Mycomyinae and Mycetophilinae.

SummaryKarrikins are butenolide compounds present in post‐fire environments that can stimulate seed germination in many species, including Arabidopsis thaliana. Plants also produce endogenous butenolide compounds that serve as hormones, namely strigolactones (SLs). The receptor for karrikins (KARRIKIN INSENSITIVE 2; KAI2) and the receptor for SLs (DWARF14; D14) are homologous proteins that share many similarities. The mode of action of D14 as a dual enzyme receptor protein is well established, but the nature of KAI2‐dependent signalling and its function as a receptor are not fully understood. To expand our knowledge of how KAI2 operates, we screened ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS)‐mutagenized populations of A. thaliana for mutants with kai2‐like phenotypes and isolated 13 new kai2 alleles. Among these alleles, kai2‐10 encoded a D184N protein variant that was stable in planta. Differential scanning fluorimetry assays indicated that the KAI2 D184N protein could interact normally with bioactive ligands. We developed a KAI2‐active version of the fluorescent strigolactone analogue Yoshimulactone Green to show that KAI2 D184N exhibits normal rates of ligand hydrolysis. KAI2 D184N degraded in response to treatment with exogenous ligands, suggesting that receptor degradation is a consequence of ligand binding and hydrolysis, but is insufficient for signalling activity. Remarkably, KAI2 D184N degradation was hypersensitive to karrikins, but showed a normal response to strigolactone analogues, implying that these butenolides may interact differently with KAI2. These results demonstrate that the enzymatic and signalling functions of KAI2 can be decoupled, and provide important insights into the mechanistic events that underpin butenolide signalling in plants.

SummaryThe RNA helicase UP‐FRAMESHIFT (UPF1) is a key factor of nonsense‐mediated decay (NMD), a mRNA decay pathway involved in RNA quality control and in the fine‐tuning of gene expression. UPF1 recruits UPF2 and UPF3 to constitute the NMD core complex, which is conserved across eukaryotes. No other components of UPF1‐containing ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) are known in plants, despite its key role in regulating gene expression. Here, we report the identification of a large set of proteins that co‐purify with the Arabidopsis UPF1, either in an RNA‐dependent or RNA‐independent manner. We found that like UPF1, several of its co‐purifying proteins have a dual localization in the cytosol and in P‐bodies, which are dynamic structures formed by the condensation of translationally repressed mRNPs. Interestingly, more than half of the proteins of the UPF1 interactome also co‐purify with DCP5, a conserved translation repressor also involved in P‐body formation. We identified a terminal nucleotidyltransferase, ribonucleases and several RNA helicases among the most significantly enriched proteins co‐purifying with both UPF1 and DCP5. Among these, RNA helicases are the homologs of DDX6/Dhh1, known as translation repressors in humans and yeast, respectively. Overall, this study reports a large set of proteins associated with the Arabidopsis UPF1 and DCP5, two components of P‐bodies, and reveals an extensive interaction network between RNA degradation and translation repression factors. Using this resource, we identified five hitherto unknown components of P‐bodies in plants, pointing out the value of this dataset for the identification of proteins potentially involved in translation repression and/or RNA degradation.
