AbstractTemperature increase may cause some regions in the world to become marginal or unsuitable for Arabica coffee cultivation, due to either heat and/or marked water deficit. The feasibility of sustainable coffee production in these regions promotes good opportunity of income and value addition for rural producers within an expanding market. This study aimed to identify short-stature Arabica coffee cultivars with the best agronomic and qualitative performance in a low-altitude region. The experiment was located in northeastern São Paulo state, Brazil, at 565 m above sea level. During the experimental period (2014–2018) the average annual and November temperatures were 23.0 and 24.3°C, respectively, with an average annual water deficit of 109 mm. The experimental design was randomized blocks, with four replicates, and the treatments consisted of 17 short-stature cultivars. The cultivars Catuaí Amarelo IAC 62, Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99, IAC Ouro Amarelo, Obatã IAC 1669-20, Obatã IAC 4739, Tupi IAC 1699-33, IAC 125 RN and IPR 100 stood out in terms of yield, reaching approximately 50 bags/ha. The appropriate choice of Arabica coffee cultivar in a low-altitude region may result in yield increment of up to 74%. The cultivars Catuaí Vermelho IAC 99, Tupi IAC 1699-33 and IAC 125 RN produced grains with the best quality and highest hundred-grain weight, processing yield and percentage of grains retained on sieve 17. Therefore, it is possible for an Arabica coffee cultivar to have high yield and high grain and beverage quality in a low-altitude region, promoting production alternatives for farmers.

AbstractBovine anaplasmosis is an infectious, tick-borne disease caused by Anaplasma species, which is accountable for huge economic loss in dairy industry. This study was aimed to determine the seroprevalence of bovine anaplasmosis on randomly selected 61 commercial dairy farms in 3 intensive regions of Bangladesh. A total of 1472 sera were analysed using VMRD Anaplasma Antibody Test Kit cELISA v2 for the presence of Anaplasma-specific antibodies. The highest regional seroprevalence of Anaplasma was 45.93% in individual level and 74.4% in herd level recorded in the southeast region, whereas it was 48.8% in individual level and 83.3% in herd level in Khagrachari and Sherpur districts, indicating an emerging state of the disease. The herd size and type in herd level and regions, districts, sex, age and breed in individual level were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) associated with anaplasmosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that cattle aged >1 year had 1.86 times higher odds compared to cattle younger than 1 year. Dairy cows had the highest odds (2.25) of anaplasmosis, followed by dairy heifers (1.68), compared to bulls. Compared to herd sizes of <4, the odds of Anaplasma infection were 11.3 and 7.45 times greater in herd sizes of >28 and 4–28. Crossbred cattle had 2.4 times higher odds of anaplasmosis compared to indigenous cattle. This first seroprevalence study signifies the widespread presence and underscores the importance of monitoring and managing anaplasmosis to safeguard cattle health in Bangladesh. Study on the molecular epidemiology and genetic diversity of Anaplasma among cattle populations should be prioritized.

Abstract
In this paper, a high-order-mode (HOM) (TE330) cavity-fed 45° linear polarized 6×6 slot array antenna is proposed. The 45° linear polarization is achieved by introducing asymmetric cross slots on the HOM cavity, resulting in low profile and wide bandwidth. The antenna array was verified using standard printed circuit board technology. Measured results show that the impedance bandwidth (

$|S_{11}|\le$

−10 dB) is 13.9% (36.98–42.92 GHz), and the peak gain is 19.3 dBi with a 3-dB gain bandwidth of 13.6%. Attributed to its simple structure, low profile, and wide bandwidth, the presented antenna is a good candidate for 5G applications.
A qualitative study of dentists' and dental students' preparedness to support patients with lived experience of intimate partner violence and abuse

Published: November 2024

AbstractIntroduction Intimate partner violence and abuse (IPVA) is a public health crisis with long-term implications for an individual's mental and physical health. IPVA can result in head and neck trauma, including oral injuries, placing dentists in a unique position to be able to identify at-risk patients. It is therefore important to understand any barriers dentists may experience when supporting IPVA patients.Aims The aim of this study was to explore whether dentists and dental students are prepared to support patients with lived experience of IPVA.Method This study adopted a qualitative cross-sectional research design using focus groups and interviews. Data were collected using the principles of grounded theory and analysed using thematic analysis.Results Data were collected from 14 dentists and 22 dental students showing that they did not feel confident or prepared in identifying and responding to patients they suspected were experiencing IPVA. Barriers included a lack of practical knowledge and fear of ‘getting it wrong', resulting in professional paralysis.Conclusion Improving current safeguarding educational frameworks at both the undergraduate and postgraduate stage could be key to improving the confidence and practical knowledge of dental practitioners.

Published: November 2024

AbstractIntroduction Head and neck cancer (HANC) significantly impacts the oral cavity and dental health issues may complicate cancer treatment and post-treatment quality of life. Pre-treatment dental evaluation is critical for identifying and managing existing oral health problems. However, limited literature exists on the dental health status of patients at the time of HANC diagnosis. This study aims to address this gap and emphasise the importance of dental care in the management of HANC.Methods A retrospective analysis of medical records was conducted on patients scheduled for radiotherapy for HANC. Data on demographic characteristics, tumour characteristics and dental exam findings were extracted from the patient record.Results Of the 191 included patients, the average age was 62.9 years (SD: 10.09), with 80% being men. The prevalence of dental disease revealed 59% of cases presenting with unstable periodontal disease and an average decayed, missing, and filled teeth score of 19.9. Two-thirds of patients exhibited one or more carious lesions.Conclusion This retrospective study sheds light on the dental health status of patients with HANC at their pre-treatment evaluation. The high prevalence rates of dental caries and unstable periodontal disease highlight the importance of dental evaluation and intervention as part of the overall management of HANC patients.

AbstractThis study empirically tested the robustness of Bayesian Maximum Entropy (BME) in predicting spatiotemporal data, with an emphasis on skewness, sample size, and spatial dependency level. Simulated data, both Gaussian and non-Gaussian, were generated using the unconditional sequential simulation method, with sample sizes ranging from 100 to 500 at the interval length of 50 and varying skewness (0, 1, 3, 6 and 9) and spatial dependency levels (weak, moderate, and strong). Findings revealed sample size variations and spatial dependence levels did not significantly influence BME prediction’s Mean Square Error (MSE) and bias. While skewness significantly impacted MSE (p-value < 0.001), bias remained unaffected. Moreover, skewness and spatial dependence interactions affected both MSE and bias. Despite this, BME proved robust to sample size and skewness, demonstrating a negligible MSE on the graphical plot (heatmap).

AbstractCreative music therapy (CMT) has been shown to promote the development of brain function and structure in preterm infants. We aimed to investigate the effect of CMT on cerebral oxygenation and perfusion to examine how the brain reacts to CMT. Absolute levels of cerebrovascular oxygen saturation (StO2) were measured in clinically stable preterm-born neonates (n = 20, gestational age: ≥30 weeks and < 37 weeks) using two near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-based tissue oximeters over the right prefrontal cortex and left auditory cortex. We applied the systemic physiology augmented functional NIRS approach. Each CMT session lasted 55 min and involved 9 intervals, including two 10-minute intervals during which the music therapist hummed and held the neonate. We found that CMT-induced changes in cerebrovascular StO2, perfusion and systemic physiology (i) could be classified into two groups (group 1: increase in StO2 during the first singing interval, group 2: decrease in StO2), (ii) differed in female neonates compared to male neonates, and (iii) correlated with individual blood haematocrit levels. Our exploratory study (i) demonstrates the impact of CMT on the neonate’s physiology and (ii) highlights the need to analyze functional NIRS measurements in neonates separately according to their response pattern to avoid erroneous conclusions, e.g. when only the group average of the signal change is determined.

AbstractPsychosocial stress affects the relationship between prolactin (PRL) and cortisol (CORT). The dynamics of PRL and CORT changes under stress in human milk (HM) are largely unknown. We investigated how maternal stress related to recent life changes affects milk CORT and PRL concentrations. The study involved 116 mothers exclusively breastfeeding 5-month-old infants. Maternal psychological stress was evaluated using the Recent Life Changes Questionnaire (RLCQ). Stress response was determined by administering the cold pressor test and measuring CORT in saliva taken during and in milk collected after the test. Hormones concentrations were assayed using the ELISA method. The hierarchical regression models were run to test the association between maternal RLCQ, salivary CORT, and PRL, and CORT in milk. Maternal RLCQ correlated positively with the CORT in saliva, however, no direct association was found between RLCQ and PRL. After controlling for covariates, a positive association was found between salivary and milk CORT. A negative relationship was observed between salivary CORT and milk PRL. The results of the present study indicate that maternal psychological stress may affect the relationship between CORT and PRL in HM. In response to psychological stress, both hormones transported via milk can program infant development in the early postnatal period.

AbstractOrofacial clefts are among the most prevalent birth defects, with severe medical and psychosocial consequences. Cleft lip with or without cleft palate (CL ± P) and cleft palate only (CPO) affect on average nearly 1/700 births worldwide. The cause of most non-syndromic cases is unknown. Maternal factors and disorders are assumed to modify the risk of orofacial clefting. In the present study, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to analyze the effects of maternal underweight, obesity, hypertension, diabetes, as well as smoking, and alcohol consumption on the development of orofacial clefts. As CL ± CP and CPO have distinct pathogenetic backgrounds, these cleft subtypes were assessed separately. Altogether, 5,830 studies were identified and 64 of them met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Obesity significantly elevated the odds of clefting (OR = 1.28, CI:1.08–1.51) (ORCL±CP = 1.23, CI:1.01–1.50; ORCPO = 1.31, CI:0.97–1.77). Maternal underweight also significantly increased the odds of clefting (OR = 1.21 CI:1.06–1.38). In mothers with type 1 diabetes, the odds of cleft development were significantly elevated (OR = 1,75, CI:1.45–2.12). Essential hypertension was also associated with higher odds of developing cleft (OR = 1.55, CI:1.18–2.03). Smoking during pregnancy significantly elevated the odds of cleft development (OR = 1.55, CI:1.34–1.79) (ORCL±CP = 1.58, CI:1.36–1.83; ORCPO = 1.50, CI:1.15–1.96). Passive smoking was even more damaging than active tobacco use, but alcohol consumption had no effect. In conclusion, this study clearly showed the importance of maintaining normal maternal body weight and emphasized the importance of hypertension and type 1 diabetes care in the first months of pregnancy. It also highlighted similarnegative effects of passive and active smoking, while alcohol consumption did not seem to be a significant risk factor for cleft development. However, there is a complete lack of available studies on the interactions of these factors, which is an essential direction for improving prevention.

AbstractBased on a novel approach, this study explores feasibility and relevance of an inhibition task for studying age-related differences in motor inhibition during gait initiation. When presented with a go-signal, young adults (YA, n = 24) and older adults (OA, n = 55) were required to promptly initiate gait. Participants completed 3 blocks of 12 gait trials. Each block contained 3 stop trials in which the go-signal was followed by a stop-signal that required the person to block gait initiation and remain standing. Stop-signals were presented randomly and with different delays. Data analyses focused on changes in the centre of pressure (COP) and success of motor inhibition. Compared to go-trials, stop trials resulted in a marked decrease of timing and amplitude of COP displacement. Overall success rate of motor inhibition was low (29% in YA vs. 19% in OA) and decreased with increasing COP displacement. Inhibitory success was associated with two strategies: a pro-active cautious COP displacement; and the inhibition of further COP displacement after a stop-signal. Results demonstrate age-related differences in adaptive behavior as well as boundaries beyond which neither old nor young persons were successful. This study yields important insights into motor inhibition during gait and essential input nto further studies.

AbstractAcanthamoeba spp. are facultative, opportunistic pathogens that are found in diverse environments. In the hosts, they lead to multi-organ disease. Recent studies reported that they may induce changes in the kidneys of hosts. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of Acanthamoeba sp. on hypoxia and collagen deposition in the kidneys of immunocompetent and immunosuppressed mice infected with Acanthamoeba sp. The results strongly suggest that Acanthamoeba sp. induces hypoxia in mice with normal and reduced immune response by increasing gene and/or protein expression of HIF1α as well as HIF2α. Additionally, the activation of these factors is probably induced via NOX2/ROS. Hypoxia promotes vessel formation, and we found that angiogenesis occurs in the kidneys of mice infected with the parasite regardless of their immunological status. The proangiogenic factors released in hypoxic conditions cause modulation and inflammation in the kidney cells, which in turn leads to collagen deposition via TGF-β. This work reveals mechanisms occurring in the hosts infected with Acanthamoeba sp., highlights as well as supports the relevance of pathophysiology in the kidneys in hosts with systematic acanthamoebiasis.

We have developed a next-generation scanning x-ray microscope RASMI (RApid Scanning Microscopy Instrument) for high-throughput tomographic imaging. RASMI is installed at the hard x-ray nanoprobe beamline at NSLS-II and is capable of manipulating 1D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) and 2D optics (both zone plates and monolithically assembled 2D MLLs). The sample scanning stage utilizes line-focusing interferometry as an encoder while performing fly-scanning data acquisition. The system can be configured for both position- and time-triggering modes during fly-scanning. The microscope demonstrated a detector-limited data acquisition rate of 1.25 kHz during ptychography measurements. The initial x-ray results yielded a sample-limited resolution of ∼6 nm in 2D. RASMI can be adopted for in-vacuum applications and is a foundation for the next-generation scanning microscopy systems to be developed and commissioned at NSLS-II.
A semi-analytic universal model on elasticity across wide temperatures and pressures

Published: November 2024

A semi-analytic model is presented universally for the elastic constants and moduli of solid phases in a wide range of temperatures and pressures. We derive in detail the model as a function of temperature and pressure, where the characteristic temperature is clearly associated with the Debye temperature. The abundant experiments of thermal elasticity for Cr–Mn–Fe–Co–Ni high entropy alloys are used to estimate the validity of the characteristic temperature of elasticity. The linear process of the analytical part significantly reduces the high computational and experimental cost of elasticity across a wide range of temperatures and pressures. We take the elastic property of beryllium within the range of up to 6000 K and 500 GPa as a prototype to investigate the accuracy, efficiency and extrapolation of this model. The application to Mg3Al2Si3O12-pyrope and CaSiO3-perovskite in the Earth’s mantle further suggests that our model excellently describes the elasticity of different materials across a wide range of temperatures and pressures.

The photodissociation dynamics of the hydrogen sulfide cation (H2S+) (X2B1) were investigated using the time-sliced velocity map ion imaging technique. S+ (4Su) product images were measured at four photolysis wavelengths around 393.70 nm, corresponding to the excitation of the H2S+ (X2B1) cation to the A2A1 (0, 8, 0) state. The raw images and the derived total kinetic energy releases (TKERs) spectra exhibited partial rotational resolution for the H2 products. A sensitive dependence on the photolysis wavelength was observed in the TKER spectra and anisotropy parameters. Within a narrow excitation energy range of ∼12 cm−1, the H2 products showed two distinct rotational excitations. Furthermore, clear differences in anisotropy parameters were observed. These phenomena indicate that the rotational excitation of the H2S+ ions plays a role in the non-adiabatic photodissociation dynamics.
Embodied constructions
Authors: Luraghi Silvia 
Published: November 2024

Abstract
In Ancient Greek two-place verbs can take three different argument structure constructions, with nominative first arguments and either accusative or genitive or dative second arguments. While the accusative is the default case across all verb classes, the genitive indicates low agentivity of the first participant and low affectedness of the second, and the dative is especially frequent with social interaction verbs. The paper focuses on constructional patterns and construction variation with experiential verbs. Referring to data from experimental psychology, I argue that the distribution of constructions with either accusative or genitive second arguments reflects physical embodiment based on narrow vs. broad attention focus, as also indicated by constructional patterns of perception verbs. Emotion verbs that take the dative indicate potentially interactive situations, including those that involve social judgment, thus conforming to the pattern of interaction verbs and reflecting social embodiment.

Abstract
Optical chiral metasurfaces with high quality factors enhance light–matter interactions. However, intrinsic chirality based on breaking the symmetry-protected BIC hardly reveals strong circular dichroism (CD) against structural perturbations. Here, we propose a design of the intrinsic chirality empowered by a pair of off-Γ accidental BICs and demonstrate a robust intrinsic chiroptical response continuously exhibiting strong and sign-controllable transmitted CD up to 0.98 and stable high-quality factors under a wide range of perturbations of geometrical parameters. A triangular lattice with slant T-shaped meta-atoms is employed to break all mirror symmetries. The at-Γ quality factor of the chiral resonance is enhanced by four C points and maintains the range of 105–106. Our work is beneficial for designing chiral metasurfaces with a strong intrinsic chirality.
