Authors: Yu Tian‐Yu , Cai Wan‐Xin , Jiang Lu 
Published: December 2024

AbstractCaterpillars have a significant impact on human economy, because their plant‐attacking and silk‐producing habits. The larval mouthparts play a crucial role in feeding and spinning and exhibit an extremely morphological diversity, which is closely related to their taxonomic status, feeding habits, and even the developmental stages. However, the larval mouthparts have not been fully elucidated in the megadiverse Sphingidae. In this study, the larval mouthparts of Ampelophaga rubiginosa Bremer & Grey, 1853, Laothoe amurensis (Staudinger, 1892), Smeritus planus Walker, 1856, Dolbina tancrei Staudinger,1887, Phyllosphingia dissimilis (Bremer, 1861), and Marumba sperchius (Ménétriés, 1857) were morphologically observed and compared using scanning electron microscopy. The mouthparts of six species are morphologically diverse on the labral notches, mandibles, spinneret and labial palps arrangement of the mouthparts. The morphological diversity of larval mouthparts is briefly discussed, considering their taxonomical and functional aspects.

Published: December 2024

AbstractIntroductionMental imagery is a defining criterion within current OCD diagnoses, and yet little has been written about how this is experienced. This study aimed to investigate how people with a diagnosis of OCD experience imagery, to better understand how this might contribute to the condition.MethodsThis research employed Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) and used semi‐structured interviews. An expert‐by‐experience was involved in the study design. Eight adults with an OCD diagnosis were purposively sampled from NHS mental health services and interviewed about their experience of imagery. Interviews were transcribed and analysed in accordance with IPA guidelines. A reflexive log and audit trail were maintained during the research process to enhance quality control and to support the analytical process.ResultsSix superordinate themes were found: Submersion in intense and multifaceted imagery; Overwhelming, uncontrollable imagery; Imagery is explosive and expansive; Imagery involves past memories and future fears; People respond to imagery as if it is real; Therapy shifts imagery.ConclusionsThis study highlights the intensity of OCD‐related imagery experienced by people with OCD and the significance of this imagery in their everyday lives. All participants experienced imagery related to their OCD, demonstrating its importance in the phenomenology of the condition. Images relating to past experiences and images of future fears were identified. Clinicians should routinely seek to include imagery in assessment, formulation, and individual treatment plans for those with OCD.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTA thorough comprehension of the mechanisms controlling new bone formation and implant osseointegration after maxillary sinus floor elevation is crucial for aligning our treatment choices with biological principles and enhancing clinical outcomes. The goal of bone regeneration in sinus lift procedures is to provide a sufficient amount of newly‐formed tissue to support implant osseointegration. However, it is still unclear whether there is a minimum quantity of vital bone within the newly‐formed tissue required for effective support, though it is generally assumed that vital bone is essential for this process. The source and integration of new bone in maxillary sinus floor elevation procedures remain debated. Most clinical studies suggest a paramount role for sinus floor and bony walls, with a centripetal pattern of new bone formation, while conflicting reports exist regarding the osteogenic role of the Schneiderian membrane. The influence of mechanical input on peri‐implant bone formation, mineralization, and maturation is significant, with bone remodeling regulated by mechanical strains generated during loading. Defining optimal loading for implants, particularly in sinus lift procedures, is challenging, as early loading may damage interfacial tissue, interfering with osteogenesis. Differences in osseointegration dynamics between native and augmented bone may arise from biological and mechanical factors, but also from patient‐specific factors which should be evaluated in treatment planning. Factors to consider include sinus anatomy, patient and site‐specific regenerative potential, and the selection of graft material that matches the osteogenic and mechanical requirements. Tailored approaches integrating patient‐specific considerations and refined implant strategies will enhance predictability and longevity of treatment.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe association between prolonged cold ischemia times (CIT), donor age, and outcomes in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) from donors after circulatory death (DCD) remains uncertain. We aimed to compare allograft outcomes in DCD‐donor KTRs according to CIT and age.MethodsUNOS database study (2010–2024) of DCD‐donor KTRs on tacrolimus maintenance. We developed a mate‐kidney analysis, comparing outcomes where one mate kidney had CIT >24 and the other ≤24 h. We evaluated patient death, all‐cause allograft failure, and death‐censored graft failure (DCGF) using multivariable stratified Cox proportional hazards models. We compared outcomes across age groups (≥50 or <50 years) and 6‐h‐period CIT deltas between mate kidneys. We assessed delayed graft function (DGF) occurrence with multivariable conditional logistic regression.ResultsWe included 4092 DCD‐donor mate‐kidney pairs. There were no differences between CIT >24 versus ≤24 h in patient death (aHR 1.12, 95% CI 0.97–1.30), all‐cause allograft failure (aHR 1.10, 95% CI 0.98–1.24), or DCGF (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 0.90–1.27). Similar results were observed when comparing outcomes by age group and 6‐h‐period CIT deltas between mate kidneys. Compared to shorter CITs, CITs >24 h were associated with increased DGF likelihood (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.25–1.60), as were increasing CIT deltas.ConclusionCITs >24 h in DCD‐donor KTRs were not associated with adverse allograft outcomes, irrespective of age group. However, prolonged CITs were associated with increased DGF likelihood. Increasing the acceptance of both mate kidney from DCD donors should be considered despite projected CITs >24 h.

AbstractThe effects of the intergenerational continuity of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on youth outcomes have been documented, particularly among mother–child dyads. Most literature has focused on the continuity of family‐level ACEs (Traditional ACEs [T‐ACEs]) and not community‐level ACEs (Expanded ACEs [E‐ACEs]) that disproportionately impact minoritized individuals. We aimed to (a) examine the effect of mothers' and fathers' T‐ACEs and E‐ACEs on youth's T‐ACEs and E‐ACEs, respectively, and on youth's depressive and anxiety symptoms; (b) examine whether youth's own ACE exposure explains the link between parental ACEs and youth depressive and anxiety symptoms; and (c) explore differential risks by mothers versus fathers. We collected cross‐sectional data from a community sample of Mexican‐origin youth (Mage, 13.5 years; 51.7% males; 93.0% US‐born), mothers (Mage, 41.4 years; 7.2% US‐born), and fathers (Mage, 44.0 years; 5.1% US‐born) from the Seguimos Avanzando project (167 youth‐mother–father triads, 177 youth‐mother/father dyads). Results showed that (a) fathers', but not mothers', T‐ACEs and E‐ACEs were associated with youth's T‐ACES and E‐ACEs, respectively, (b) youth's T‐ACEs explained the association between fathers' T‐ACEs and youth's depressive symptoms, and (c) only youth's E‐ACEs were associated with anxiety symptoms. These findings highlight the greater need to understand how fathers' childhood experiences may impact outcomes across generations and that targeting youth's ACEs can reduce the pervasive effects of intergenerational continuity of ACEs.

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTSaltwater angling is a culturally significant and economically vital coastal recreational activity, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico that attracts enthusiasts worldwide and contributes significantly to the well‐being of Gulf Coast communities. However, angling can threaten ecologically important species, notably sea turtles, which are federally protected under the Endangered Species Act. In commercial fisheries, using circle hooks over traditional “J” hooks and using specific bait types can reduce sea turtle bycatch and fishing gear interactions. However, angler willingness to use these techniques is unknown. Our study aimed to assess the willingness of recreational anglers to adopt tackle modifications to support sea turtle conservation. A mixed‐mode survey was used to gather data on angler knowledge, behaviors, and attitudes toward sea turtle conservation. Generalized linear models were used to examine factors associated with angler willingness to adopt sea turtle‐friendly practices. Factors such as gender, state residency, recreational and fishing motivations, and ecological knowledge influenced angler willingness to adopt sea turtle‐friendly tackle modifications. We conclude that conservation strategies and educational outreach must be tailored to specific fishery management objectives.
Spatial Justice in Health Communication: Exploring Affective Responses to the Linguistic Landscape in a Shanghai International Hospital
Authors: Li Xiangyun , Shen Qi 
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTLinguistic landscape (LL), functioning as a form of health communication, offers a lens through which to examine whether the visual representation of languages in medical spaces ensures accessibility for all and communicates spatial justice. Recent studies on LL have primarily concentrated on elucidating LL as a cognitive and affective indicator of public space, with less attention to how sign‐readers affectively perceive and engage with public signage in medical and migrant contexts. Exploring sign‐readers’ affective responses to the LL can help us understand whether the spatial resources indicated by that LL meet their practical and psychological needs. This empirical study contributes to LL research by examining affective responses to the LL among immigrant patients in a Shanghai international hospital, illuminating the interactions between LL and spatial justice in a medical context. Based on 260 signs collected through photography and interviews with eight international patients, we aimed to explore their feelings and thoughts about the LL at the moment of their experience of it. After identifying various affective responses triggered by the LL, we found that the use of English in the LL projects the hospital's espoused values of “care” and “quality”, while the absence of languages such as Korean and Japanese constrains linguistic equality and spatial justice, triggering anxiety among those who speak neither English nor Mandarin. Future planning of the LL in Shanghai's international communities might be informed by a multilingual awareness to promote the subjective well‐being of transnational immigrants and to improve the epistemic diversity and inclusivity of urban spaces.
Parental Sensitivity and Infant Social Withdrawal During Mother–Infant and Father–Infant Interactions

Published: December 2024

ABSTRACTWhile social withdrawal is a normal defense mechanism displayed by infants to regulate interactions, it can negatively impact infant development when it becomes chronic, leading to delays in motor, cognitive, and communication difficulties in later development. Infant withdrawal was associated with low levels of parental sensitivity (i.e., the capacity of a caregiver to perceive the child signals and to respond to them accurately with an appropriate timing during interactions) in mothers. Few studies have yet been conducted in fathers and even fewer have investigated these questions in both parent–infant dyads within families, so that the joint effects of maternal and paternal sensitivity on infant social withdrawal remain unknown. We investigated within‐ and between‐dyad associations between parental sensitivity and infant withdrawal during interactions with both parents in a sample of biparental families (n = 61) and their 3‐month old infant. Results showed that higher paternal sensitivity was associated with lower infant withdrawal during father–infant interactions. The same effect was weaker in mothers and only significant when the effect of paternal sensitivity on infant withdrawal during mother–infant interaction was not taken into account. These results offer new insights about the reciprocal influences between the mother–infant and the father–infant relationships.
Combat counterfeits effectively or not? Encroachment and financing strategies with production disruption risk

Published: December 2024

AbstractCounterfeits spur brand‐name supply chain to engage in manufacturer encroachment. Financial constraint disturbs encroachment strategies, especially with disruption risks. Developing an analytical model investigates how supply chain finance with production disruption risk affects encroachment strategy and its efficacy in combating counterfeits. We obtain optimal strategies for three scenarios: rich, moderately poor, and poor brand‐name supply chains. Encroachment strategies effectively combat counterfeits in rich and moderately poor brand‐name supply chains. The production disruption risk reduces the manufacturer's willingness to encroach, regardless of financial positions. Relative to rich brand‐name supply chains with encroachment, trade credit with risk‐free bank credit increases the manufacturer encroachment's likelihood, while it with costly bank credit reduces this likelihood. Financial cooperation through trade credit in moderately poor brand‐name supply chains effectively curbs counterfeiting. Even if bank credits are perfectly competitive, optimal strategies in poor brand‐name supply chains with encroachment depend on initial capitals, violating classical Modigliani‐Miller (M&M) theory.
Exploring barriers and motivations in the adoption of food waste mobile applications

Published: December 2024

AbstractFood waste is a serious global problem obstructing the path toward Sustainable Development Goal 2 (Zero Hunger). Several food waste mobile applications (FWMAs) have been launched in recent years, offering a technological means of connecting food businesses with consumers to redistribute leftover food. Food businesses, as the suppliers, provide leftover food on an FWMA platform, and the acceptance of that leftover food determines the quantity of food saved through this method. This paper aims to identify the barriers and motivations (B&Ms) underlying the decisions of food businesses regarding whether to participate in FWMA projects. PESTLE analysis is used to categorize potential B&Ms along six dimensions: political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental. Experts in FWMA, suppliers and operators, are then invited to respond to questions along a 5‐point Likert scale as part of the Delphi method. The questions ask about the participants’ level of agreement. Finally, the voting analytical hierarchy process is used to determine the relative importance of each B&M to the industry at large. Economic considerations constitute the biggest source of both motivation and barriers. The same goes for technological factors, though to a lesser degree. Notably, however, FWMA operators point to political factors as the biggest source of barriers. This pioneering study examines FWMA acceptance from the supply side. Despite its brief history, FWMAs excel in the market. Challenges in the business‐to‐consumer model hint at both motivations and barriers. Existing literature lacks comprehensive insights, mainly focusing on consumer perspectives.

ABSTRACTAimThis study examines how environmental variables determine the co‐occurrence of Phylloscopus warblers. It was carried out using an integrated zeta (ζ) diversity estimation method and multisite generalised dissimilarity modelling (MS‐GDM).LocationPhylloscopus species spanning Eurasia.Study PeriodObservations made during the breeding season for each species from 2014 to 2023.Major Taxa StudiedWe specifically focussed on complexes/superspecies groups within the genus Phylloscopus to address this question. The groups defined on recent phylogeny are the P. castaniceps complex, P. cantator group, P. borealis group, P. burkii complex, P. affinis group, P. proregulus group, P. inornatus complex, P. davisoni group, P. fuscatus group, P. collybita group, P. trochiloides complex and P. tenellipes group.MethodsWe used ζ diversity estimations to quantify the extent of compositional turnover and diversity across multiple sites. We further used MS‐GDM to gain insights into how various environmental variables impact species composition.ResultsThe composition of the groups we analysed is shaped by environmental conditions. The normalised difference snow index considerably impacts turnover within the P. castaniceps complex, with species such as P. castaniceps showing adjacency to snowy areas. Elevation and gravity anomalies play an essential role in the turnover of species in the P. cantator and P. borealis groups. The prevalence of positive gravity anomalies (variations in gravitational strength) in hilly areas determines the compositional differences within the P. burkii complex. The turnover of the P. proregulus group is influenced by both artificial night lights and gravitational anomalies. The turnover in the P. trochiloides complex and the P. davisoni, P. collybita and P. tenellipes groups is influenced by soil moisture, elevation, gravity anomalies and aridity index, emphasising the varied ecological niches of these species.ConclusionsThis study improves our understanding of the compositional shift of Phylloscopus leaf warblers over space and reveals the mechanisms underlying shifts in their composition across regions and the impact of changes in climatic patterns. As a result, this study is an important resource for ecologists and conservationists.
WTAP‐Mediated m6A Modification of circSMOC1 Accelerates the Tumorigenesis of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer by Regulating miR‐612/CCL28 Axis

ABSTRACTAccumulating evidence reveals that deregulated N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) RNA methylation and circular RNAs (circRNAs) are required for the tumorigenesis of non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). We aimed to uncover the underlying mechanisms by which WTAP‐mediated m6A modification of circRNA contributes to NSCLC. The differentially‐expressed circRNAs were identified by a circRNA profiling microarray. The association of circSMOC1 with clinicopathological features and prognosis in patients with NSCLC was estimated by fluorescence in situ hybridization. WTAP‐mediated m6A modification of circRNA was validated by RNA immunoprecipitation (RIP) and methylated RIP (MeRIP) assays. The role of circSMOC1 in NSCLC cells was validated by in vitro functional experiments and in vivo tumorigenesis models. CircSMOC1‐specific binding with miR‐612 was verified by RIP, luciferase gene report and RT‐qPCR assays. The effect of circSMOC1 and/or miR‐612 on CCL28 expression was detected by RT‐qPCR and Western blotting analysis. We found that the expression levels of circSMOC1 were elevated in NSCLC tissues and associated with TNM stage and poor survival in patients with NSCLC. Knockdown of circSMOC1 impaired the tumorigenesis of NSCLC in vitro and in vivo, whereas restored expression of circSMOC1 displayed the opposite effect. Furthermore, WTAP was upregulated in NSCLC and mediated m6A modification of circSMOC1 and circSMOC1 abolished WTAP knockdown‐caused tumour‐suppressive effects. Then, circSMOC1 acted as a sponge of miR‐612 to upregulate CCL28 and miR‐612 inhibitors abrogated circSMOC1 knockdown‐caused anti‐proliferation effects and CCL28 downregulation in NSCLC cells. Knockdown of CCL28 inhibited cell proliferation and invasion and counteracted miR‐612 inhibitor‐caused tumour‐promoting effects. Our findings unveil that WTAP‐mediated m6A modification of circSMOC1 facilitates the tumorigenesis of NSCLC by regulating the miR‐612/CCL28 axis.

ABSTRACTGlycolysis‐related lactylation has gained wide attention for regulating various cellular functions and diseases. Nevertheless, its intricate involvement in intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) is not yet fully understood. In this study, we unrevealed the intricate association between elevated lactylation levels and the development of IVDD. Subsequently, we harvested the lactylation‐related genes (LRGs) and systematically analysed the expression levels of these genes to establish a gene signature related to IVDD through multiple bulk RNA sequencing data. Six hub LRGs were determined and closely associated with the increased severity of IVDD. Among the six genes, CBX3 was the most upregulated in both in vivo and in vitro experiments. Furthermore, molecular docking identified atosiban acetate as a specific inhibitor for CBX3, and inhibiting the expression of CBX3 using atosiban acetate significantly repressed the glycolysis activity and global lactylation level, thus alleviating the progression of IVDD. In conclusion, the lactylation correlates positively with IVDD and the LRG signature could be used as a biomarker for the effective clinical treatment of IVDD. CBX3 emerged as one of the key LRGs in IVDD, and atosiban acetate, as a specific inhibitor for CBX3, may be a promising therapeutic candidate for IVDD by affecting lactylation.
