AbstractAimTo evaluate the efficacy of a 0.03% chlorhexidine and 0.05% cetylpyridinium chloride mouth rinse, as an adjunct to professionally and patient‐administered mechanical plaque removal, in the treatment of peri‐implant mucositis (PiM).Material and MethodsPatients displaying PiM in, at least, one implant were included in this randomized, double‐blinded, clinical trial. Subjects received professional prophylaxis (baseline and 6 months) and were instructed to regular oral hygiene practices and to rinse, twice daily, with the test or placebo mouth rinses, during one year. Clinical, radiographic and microbiological outcomes were evaluated at baseline, 6 and 12 months. Disease resolution was defined as absence of bleeding on probing (BOP). Data were analysed by repeated measures ANOVA, Student's t and chi‐square tests.ResultsFifty‐four patients were included and 46 attended the final visit (22 in control and 24 in test group). In the test group, there was a 24.49% greater reduction in BOP at the buccal sites (95% confidence interval [3.65–45.34%]; p = 0.002) than in controls. About 58.3% of test implants and 50% controls showed healthy peri‐implant tissues at final visit (p > 0.05).ConclusionsThe use of the test mouth rinse demonstrated some adjunctive benefits in the treatment of PiM. Complete disease resolution could not be achieved in every case.

BackgroundCallous‐Unemotional (CU) and psychopathic traits are consistently associated with impaired recognition of others’ emotions, specifically fear and sadness. However, no studies have examined whether the association between CU traits and emotion recognition deficits is due primarily to genetic or environmental factors.MethodsThe current study used data from 607 Caucasian twin pairs (N = 1,214 twins) to examine the phenotypic and genetic relationship between the Inventory of Callous‐Unemotional Traits (ICU) and facial emotion recognition assessed via the laboratory‐based Facial Expression Labeling Task (FELT).ResultsThe uncaring/callous dimension of the ICU was significantly associated with impaired recognition of happiness, sadness, fear, surprise, and disgust. The unemotional ICU dimension was significantly associated with improved recognition of surprise and disgust. Total ICU score was significantly associated with impaired recognition of sadness. Significant genetic correlations were found for uncaring/callous traits and distress cue recognition (i.e. fear and sadness). The observed relationship between uncaring/callous traits and deficits in distress cue recognition was accounted for entirely by shared genetic influences.ConclusionsThe results of the current study replicate previous findings demonstrating impaired emotion recognition among youth with elevated CU traits. We extend these findings by replicating them in an epidemiological sample not selected or enriched for pathological levels of CU traits. Furthermore, the current study is the first to investigate the genetic and environmental etiology of CU traits and emotion recognition, and results suggest genetic influences underlie the specific relationship between uncaring/callous traits and distress cue (fear/sadness) recognition in others.
Variation in mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene inNezara viridula(Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) from Argentina

Published: February 2019

AbstractHere, we examine the genetic diversity in the agricultural pestNezara viridula(Linnaeus,) from populations of Argentina using mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequences. The DNA sequence comparisons of 718 base pairs of the COI gene revealed seven haplotypes. The observed total haplotype diversity (Hd) value was of 0.138, and the nucleotide diversity was of 0.00039 and 0.00135 according toπandθW, respectively. Eight out of the 10 populations analysed, mostly from soya bean crops, only presented the more frequent haplotype, while 2 haplotypes were found in a mixed culture and 6 haplotypes in a peanut culture. Factors such as differential insecticide applications, as well as the surrounding habitat, and the host plant preference could be related to the genetic diversity differences observed among samples ofN. viridula. The analysis of genetic diversity in samples collected in crops treated and non‐treated with insecticides, as well as in samples collected from different seasons, could help to clarify the role of the factors that led to the pattern of genetic diversity detected in this study. The result of a comparative analysis of COI gene sequences among populations from South America, Africa, Asia and Europe was consistent with the hypothesis of an African origin ofN. viridula. On the other hand, the haplotypes of Europe were clustered with haplotypes from South America. In addition, specimens from Madeira (west of Europe) shared ancestry with South America and Europe. It has been suggested that a probable route of colonization of America could have been from Western Europe towards the eastern coasts of South America.
Identification and field evaluation of (E)‐11,13‐tetradecadienal as sex pheromone of the strawberry tortrix (Acleris comariana)

Published: February 2019

AbstractThe strawberry tortrix (Acleris comariana Lienig and Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), is a major pest of strawberry in Denmark and southern Sweden. Chemical and electrophysiological analyses revealed a single compound, (E)‐11,13‐tetradecadienal (E11,13‐14:Ald), in gland extracts of females eliciting a strong antennal response in conspecific males. Also (Z)‐11,13‐tetradecadienal (Z11,13‐14:Ald) was found to be antennally active, but not detected in gland extracts. The corresponding alcohol and acetate of E11,13‐14:Ald, which are biologically active in other Acleris species, were not produced by females and did not trigger electrophysiological response in males. Trapping experiments at a commercial strawberry farm in southern Sweden showed that E11,13‐14:Ald and Z11,13‐14:Ald, alone or in combination, attracted large numbers of males. Trap catches increased with increasing dose of E11,13‐14:Ald, with traps baited with 100 µg and 1,000 µg being most attractive. Our results confirm the widespread use of E11,13‐14:Ald as a key sex pheromone component in the genus Acleris. The identification of a highly attractive sex pheromone is a first step in developing pheromone‐based methods for monitoring and control of A. comariana in European strawberry production.
Factors contributing to parent–child interaction quality following mild traumatic brain injury in early childhood

Published: February 2019

There is emerging evidence that parent–child interactions are affected by early childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI). These findings are of functional importance when considering the high prevalence of TBI in early childhood alongside evidence that young children exposed to positive relationships with their parents early in life exhibit better social functioning concurrently and longitudinally. Given that the overall quality of parent–child interactions is the result of both parent and child emotional and behavioural dispositions, it remains unclear which parental or child‐related factors contribute to the quality of interactions post‐TBI. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors that contribute to the quality of parent–child interactions following early childhood TBI. The sample included 68 children (18–60 months at recruitment) with accidental, uncomplicated mild TBI (mTBI). The quality of parent–child interactions was assessed 6 months post‐injury using the Mutually Responsive Orientation scale, an observational measure of the dyadic quality of parent–child exchanges. Potential contributing factors were assessed among parental factors (e.g., age, socioeconomic status, family burden, parental stress, marital satisfaction) and child‐related factors (e.g., age, sex, symptoms, fatigue, adaptive/behavioural skills). Socioeconomic status, child post‐concussive symptoms, and child sleep problems were found to be significant independent contributing factors to parent–child interactions six months post‐injury. This study provides the first evidence that both parental and child factors relate to the quality of parent–child interactions following mTBI, thus contributing to a better understanding of the scope and complexity of factors that play a role in childrens' recovery.
Assessing the dyeing efficiency and irritation potentials of plant hair dyes: A multi‐analytical in vitro approach
Authors: Tang Ying , He Wendan , Wu Yanping , Cai Rui 
Published: February 2019

SummaryBackgroundThe interest toward dyeing hairs with plant colorants has grown in popularity considering its low‐toxic nature. However, researches reporting plant hair dyes are limited and the potential adverse effects of irritation are unclear.ObjectivesThis study is aimed to provide an avenue by which to more accurately assess the dyeing efficiency and irritation potentials of plant hair dyes.MethodsFour extracted plant colorants were incorporated in hydrogel hair dyes that were directly applied on unbleached gray human hairs. Their dyeing performances and the effect of an iron (Ⅱ) mordant were photometrically measured in CIELab coordinates and color strength. The eye and skin irritancy was assessed by combining various in vitro methods, including bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP) assay in combination with histopathological analysis, Hen’s egg test on chick chorioallantoic membrane (HET‐CAM) and a test on reconstructed human epidermis models.ResultsThe investigated hair dyes exhibited desirable dyeing efficiency on human hairs. Post‐treatment with the iron (Ⅱ) mordant caused a significant increase in color strength with subtle changes to the hue of dyed color. In the irritation testing, the four hair dyes were categorized as slight‐to‐mild eye irritants but possessed no skin irritation potential, while the mordant was determined as a non‐irritant.ConclusionsThe results demonstrate the efficacy of a multi‐analytical approach for in vitro assessment of various plant colorants for hair dyeing. The investigated plant extracts are suitable for producing viable colors on human hairs and may serve as a low‐irritating alternative to the synthetic hair dyes.
Eudaimonism, Virtue, and Self‐Sacrifice
Authors: Couenhoven Jesse 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis essay introduces some of the key topics at stake in the ongoing controversies about the place of eudaimonism in Christian ethics and theology. Whether and in what way a person should seek her or his own happiness and flourishing has been a central question in ethics for centuries. Here I summarize the contributions the essays in this focus issue make to that conversation, and conclude by briefly sketching a Neoplatonist approach to eudaimonism that may offer a way to build on the insights and concerns articulated in the focus essays.
Christianity and Eudaimonia, Luck and Eudaimonism
Authors: Simmons Frederick V. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractI argue that Christians have at least two reasons to reject eudaimonism, interpreted as the view that attaining eudaimonia—or happiness—is what fulfills the moral life. First, I contend Christian conceptions of eudaimonia should encompass more than realized moral excellence and its requirements. Second, I claim Christians should construe the love at the heart of their moral life as fully realizable even if it is not evidently reciprocated. Both affirmations contradict eudaimonism by implying that eudaimonia depends on more than fulfilling the moral life—the former by rendering eudaimonia more subject to luck than eudaimonists can allow, the latter by depicting the moral life as less subject to luck than eudaimonists can accept. These affirmations also enable Christians to regard God’s love integral to eudaimonia apart from its role in realizing moral excellence and to deny all inability to attain eudaimonia manifests moral failure.
Alterity, Intimacy, and the Cultural Turn in Religious Ethics
Authors: Miller Richard B. 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis essay responds to four critics of Friends and Other Strangers: Studies in Religion, Ethics and Culture: Diana Fritz Cates, Eric Gregory, Ross Moret, and Atalia Omer. Focusing on the book’s organizing concepts of intimacy and alterity, engagement with empirical sources, discussion of Augustine’s thought, and attention to moral psychology and political morality, these interlocutors take up various strands in the book’s argument and extend them into metaethical, normative, and metadisciplinary domains. The author organizes his response under three rubrics: Metaethics and Personal Relationships; Political Morality; and Multidisciplinary Horizons.
Relational Complexity and Ethical Responsibility
Authors: Cates Diana Fritz 
Published: February 2019

AbstractRichard Miller uses the concepts of alterity and intimacy as touchstones for analyzing neglected aspects of our interpersonal and social relationships. He argues that, as persons in relation, we oscillate between experiences of alterity and intimacy, and it is with a greater awareness of this oscillation that we do best to consider our ethical responsibilities. This paper affirms the value of thinking about—and potentially reimagining—how we conceive and relate to various others. It also makes explicit that, as persons, each of us is separate, not only from some, but from all other persons, even as we are also one with them. Moreover, each of us is different from all other persons, even as we are also like them. The aspects of persons and relationships on which we focus, in a given situation, matter because they partly determine the choices that we make in another’s regard.
Friends on the Margins
Authors: Omer Atalia 
Published: February 2019

AbstractIn this essay, I examine Richard Miller’s exposition of political solidarity as one of the key contributions of his multifaceted argument in Friends and Other Strangers to the study of religion, ethics, and culture. Miller’s focus on culture broadens the landscape of ethical analysis in ways that illuminate how culture and cultural productions mediate and construct norms and virtues, and the complex relations between self and society. I challenge Miller’s inclination, however, to focus scholarly attention more on habituated forms of civic identity and communal solidarity rather than on disruptive potentialities and critical practices. I suggest that an engagement with social movement theory and the sociology of emotions, with their focus on semiotic analysis and social change processes and mechanisms, can greatly enrich Miller’s account of religion and ethical solidarity.

Published: February 2019

AbstractBackgroundLung cancer is the leading cause of cancer‐related mortality in the United States, and rural states bear a greater burden of disease.MethodsWe analyzed tumor registry data to examine relationships between rurality and lung cancer stage at diagnosis and treatment. Cases were from the Maine Cancer Registry from 2012 to 2015, and rurality was defined using rural‐urban commuting areas. Multivariable models were used to examine the relationships between rurality and treatment, adjusting for age, sex, poverty, education, insurance status, and cancer stage.ResultsWe identified 5,338 adults with incident lung cancer; 3,429 (64.2%) were diagnosed at a late stage (III or IV). Rurality was not associated with stage at diagnosis. For patients with early‐stage disease (I or II), rurality was not associated with receipt of treatment. However, for patients with late‐stage disease, residents of large rural areas received more surgery (10%) compared with metropolitan (9%) or small/isolated rural areas (6%), P = .01. In multivariable analyses, patients in large rural areas received more chemotherapy (OR 1.48; 95% CI: 1.08‐2.02) than those in metropolitan areas. Patients with early‐stage disease residing in small/ isolated rural areas had delays in treatment (median time to first treatment = 43 days, interquartile range [IQR] 22‐68) compared with large rural (34 days, IQR 17‐55) and metropolitan areas (35 days, IQR 17‐60), P = .0009.ConclusionRurality is associated with differences in receipt of specific lung cancer treatments and in timeliness of treatment.

AbstractPurposeTo evaluate the impact of a school nurse‐led pilot parent‐focused education program for healthy eating and physical activity to reduce childhood obesity.Design and MethodsA quasi‐experimental intervention design was used to assess the knowledge of 11 Hispanic mothers regarding healthy food choices and physical activity over a period of 1 year.ResultsThere was an improvement in parental knowledge domains. Children's body mass index (BMI) stabilized at the 1‐year follow‐up in the intervention group, while the BMI increased in the nonintervention group. Outcomes included improvement in parental health knowledge and children's BMI.Practice ImplicationsPediatric and school nurses have a powerful role in preventive education. Knowledge gained by identifying the benefits of healthy food choices and physical activity for Hispanic mothers of obese children can be transformed into lifestyle changes for their children's weight control that begins in the home.

Published: February 2019

AbstractMajor and trace element analyses and triple oxygen isotope measurements were performed on 11 individual specimens of Australasian tektites (AAT) with exactly known field positions from Laos. The sample set was dominated by Muong Nong‐type tektites (MNAAT), including separated layers of glass of different appearance and chemistry from four samples. This first larger set of oxygen isotope data of MNAAT revealed the δ18O range 8.7 ≤ δ18O ≤ 11.6‰ on VSMOW2 scale (12 analyses), only slightly wider than the previously reported range for splash‐form AAT. The Δ’17O values of MNAAT (−0.098 ≤ Δ’17O ≤ −0.069‰; 12 analyses) and splash‐form AAT (−0.080 ≤ Δ’17O ≤ −0.068‰; three analyses) are all in the range of data typical for terrestrial crustal rocks, with no mass‐independent oxygen isotope fractionation (from impactor or from exchange with atmospheric O2) being observed.
Phylogenetic and biogeographic controls of plant nighttime stomatal conductance

Published: February 2019

Summary

The widely documented phenomenon of nighttime stomatal conductance gsn could lead to substantial water loss with no carbon gain, and thus it remains unclear whether nighttime stomatal conductance confers a functional advantage. Given that studies of gsn have focused on controlled environments or small numbers of species in natural environments, a broad phylogenetic and biogeographic context could provide insights into potential adaptive benefits of gsn.

We measured gsn on a diverse suite of species (n = 73) across various functional groups and climates‐of‐origin in a common garden to study the phylogenetic and biogeographic/climatic controls on gsn and further assessed the degree to which gsn co‐varied with leaf functional traits and daytime gas‐exchange rates.

Closely related species were more similar in gsn than expected by chance. Herbaceous species had higher gsn than woody species. Species that typically grow in climates with lower mean annual precipitation – where the fitness cost of water loss should be the highest – generally had higher gsn.

Our results reveal the highest gsn rates in species from environments where neighboring plants compete most strongly for water, suggesting a possible role for the competitive advantage of gsn.
Is Stock Price Correlated with Oil Price? Spurious Regressions with Moderately Explosive Processes
Authors: Chen Ye , Tu Yundong 
Published: February 2019

AbstractThis study explores the spurious effects in linear regressions with moderately explosive processes. Asymptotic results are developed for the least square estimator, the typical t‐statistic, the Durbin–Watson statistic, and the coefficient of determination. The typical t‐statistic is unable to detect the presence of a spurious relationship, due to the presence of nuisance parameters that characterize deviations from unity. Moreover, the t‐statistic for common explosive processes has different asymptotics compared to that for distinct explosive processes. Such differences further complicate the use of the t‐statistic. We demonstrate that two popular methods available in the literature are incapable for this purpose due to similar difficulties. To overcome these limitations, we propose a t‐test based upon balanced regressions that induces asymptotic inference based on the standard normal distribution, which is therefore robust to deviations from unity. These results are further generalized to spurious regressions with multivariate mildly explosive processes. Simulation results confirm that our test is effective in finite samples, while other alternatives are not. An empirical example that demonstrates the phenomenon of spurious correlation between the NASDAQ stock index and crude oil price in the US is provided to show the practical merit of our proposed method.
