Abstract
Background and aims
Whereas high-level evidence has been proven for safety and efficacy of endovascular treatment (EVT) in large vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, the evidence for EVT in medium vessel occlusion (MeVO) in both sexes and different age groupremains to be answered. The aim of this study was to evaluate the importance of clinical and technical parameters, focusing on sex, age and EVT procedural factors, on functional outcome in primary MeVO (pMeVO) strokes.

Methods
144 patients with pMeVO in the MCA territory from the Oslo Acute Reperfusion Stroke Study (OSCAR) were included. Clinical and radiological data were collected including 90-day mRS follow-up.

Results
Successful reperfusion with modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction (mTICI) ≥ 2b was achieved in 123 patients (84%). Good functional outcome (mRS ≤ 2) at 90-day follow-up was achieved in 84 patients (61.8%). Two or more passes with stent retriever was associated with increased risk of SAH, poor mTICI and poor functional outcome. In average, women had 62 min longer ictus to recanalization time compared to men. Age over 80 years was significantly associated with poor outcome and death.

Conclusion
In pMeVO patients, TICI score and number of passes with stent retriever were the main technical factors predicting mRS ≤ 2. Good clinical outcome occurred almost twice as often in patients under 80 years of age compared to patients over 80 years. Women with MeVO strokes had significant longer time from ictus to recanalization; however, this did not affect the clinical outcome.

AbstractAccounting for how the human mind represents the internal and external world is a crucial feature of many theories of human cognition. Central to this question is the distinction between modal as opposed to amodal representational formats. It has often been assumed that one but not both of these two types of representations underlie processing in specific domains of cognition (e.g., perception, mental imagery, and language). However, in this paper, we suggest that both formats play a major role in most cognitive domains. We believe that a comprehensive theory of cognition requires a solid understanding of these representational formats and their functional roles within and across different domains of cognition, the developmental trajectory of these representational formats, and their role in dysfunctional behavior. Here we sketch such an overarching perspective that brings together research from diverse subdisciplines of psychology on modal and amodal representational formats so as to unravel their functional principles and their interactions.

Abstract
Background
Surgical coastal expeditions (SCEs) have been organized in Greenland for many years. They aim to provide small coastal hospitals with specialist services, such as endoscopies (SCEEs), by deploying specialist personnel, surgeons, and the necessary equipment to the hospital temporarily. The purpose of this program is to increase accessibility for patients, while simultaneously reducing the costs associated with patient transport to the central hospital.

Methods
This retrospective pilot review of medical records identified quality indicators, such as bowel cleansing (BP), cecal intubation rate (CIR), and adenoma and advanced adenoma detection rates (ADR, AADR), to investigate the status and establish a system for quality monitoring of SCEsE in Greenland.

Results
During two SCEs (8 working days), 89 SCEE were performed at Qaqortoq and Sisimiut Hospitals. The 60 patients who underwent colonoscopy included 32 men and 28 women with a mean age of 61 years (range 24–80 years). The unadjusted CIR was 91.7%. In eight (13.3%) examinations, bowel preparation was rated as unsatisfactory, resulting in two incomplete procedures. The ADR and AADR were 35% and 11.7%, respectively, and one cancer was detected (1.7%).

Conclusion
The results showed satisfactory ADR, AADR, and CIR levels. However, the review also highlighted the need for increased attention to BP by developing a new procedure that considers differences due to specific eating habits in Greenland and provides much better information for patients. The review provided a snapshot of the quality of colonoscopies in Greenland, highlighting the necessity to continue this process to ensure that the quality is up to standard. Furthermore, SCE helps reduce the environmental footprint of gastrointestinal endoscopy by avoiding the need for patient air transport; instead of 77 round trips (61,830 km), only 8 (6440 km) were required.

AbstractThunderstorm high wind (THW) is defined as a kind of convective weather phenomenon with a maximum wind gust speed not less than 17.2 m·s−1 over China. It is a sudden, damaging, but common convective weather phenomenon during the warm seasons of China. By adopting a kernel density estimation (KDE) for the THWs during warm seasons (March–September) of 2010–2019 over eastern China and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts Reanalysis v5 (ERA5) dataset, the dry and wet THWs usually with different mechanisms are objectively obtained, and climatology and pre-convection environmental conditions investigated. KDE shows the total precipitable water (TPW) of 38 mm can be used as the threshold for distinguishing dry THWs from wet ones. Dry THWs mainly concentrate in North China and Yunnan province, while wet ones mainly concentrate in South China. West of Hebei province has high frequencies for both dry and wet THWs. A comparison of pre-convection environmental conditions shows dry THWs mainly occur under environmental conditions with lower saturation at both the middle-lower and upper layers, while wet ones usually have relatively lower saturation at the middle-lower layers. The instability of wet THWs can be well characterized by the most unstable lifted index (MULI) and most unstable convective available potential energy (MUCAPE), while dry ones can be well depicted by the lower 500 hPa temperature caused higher temperature difference (DT85) or temperature lapse rate (TLR85) between 850 and 500 hPa. The 0–6-km vertical wind shear (SHR6) can distinguish dry THWs from wet ones better than SHR1. The typical difference can be comprehensively revealed by the representative soundings. The results provide objective references for understanding and forecasting THWs under dry and wet environmental conditions.
A negotiation model of individual matching and zonal-based travel behavior in carpooling

Published: October 2023

AbstractCarpooling is a sustainable and ecologically acceptable transportation mode. Individuals commonly engage in coordination and negotiation processes to find matching partners and typically modify their schedules to enable cooperation. Mutual cooperation between carpooling individuals plays an important role in executing trips. Through cooperation, participants can achieve challenging agreements effectively in a repetitive manner. This paper presents a negotiation mechanism that can match individuals for carpooling using organization and agent-based concepts. It describes a matching model and a carpooling social network. It studies several aspects of multi-zonal individual behavior to identify groups of carpooling candidates. The carpooling social network is simulated on an ongoing basis for each of the following carpooling activities: interaction, negotiation, and trip execution. The interaction process enables communication between individuals within carpooling social groups in order to activate the negotiation process. During the negotiation process, participants typically modify their schedules to support cooperation by considering their personal preferences and constraints. Negotiation leads to matching of individuals based on trip start times, driver selection, detour duration, and carpool group pickup and dropoff sequences. Trip start times are established on travel, social, financial, and schedule-related factors. The carpoolers’ pickup and dropoff sequences that are feasible for an optimal carpool group are projected using specific scoring methods. Carpooling community candidates are recognized via outcomes projected using the FEATHERS activity–based model. The framework is implemented through the Janus multi-agent system.

AbstractCarbon (C) sequestrated in the boreal forest ecosystems plays an important role in climate regulation. This study’s objectives were to quantify the differences in the components of the forest C cycle along a 1000 km latitudinal gradient within the boreal region and between dominant coniferous species in Fennoscandia. The study included seven xeric–sub-xeric and eight mesic–herb-rich heath forests dominated by Scots pine and Norway spruce, respectively. The total site carbon stock (CS) ranged from 81 to 260 Mg ha−1. The largest ecosystem component CSs were tree stems, mineral soil, and humus layer, representing 30 ± 2%, 28 ± 2%, and 13 ± 1% of total CS, respectively. On average, the spruce sites had 40% more C than the pine sites, and CS stored in most compartments was higher on spruce than on pine sites. As exceptions, understorey vegetation and litter layer had a larger CS on pine than on spruce sites. The northern sites had an average of 58% less C than the southern sites. Humus layer CS was the only compartment showing no latitudinal trends. Northern sites had a significantly larger fine and small root CS and understorey CS than southern sites. Most CS compartments were significantly correlated with litterfall C transfer components. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) flux in throughfall was positively correlated with the aboveground tree compartment CS. Our study revealed patterns of C distribution in major boreal forest ecosystems along latitudinal and fertility gradients, which may serve as a reference for Earth system models and in the evaluation of their projections.
Overview of new-onset refractory status epilepticus: current concepts, diagnosis, and management
Authors: Wickström Ronny 
Published: October 2023

AbstractNew-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) is a rare and devastating condition presenting with refractory status epilepticus and often evolving into super-refractory status epilepticus. The poor outcome with a significant mortality rate and a high rate of morbidity among survivors of NORSE warrants awareness and early identification of the condition so as to initiate appropriate investigations and management. Although the pathophysiological mechanisms are unknown, inflammatory mechanisms including activation of innate immunity are likely involved. Treatment should therefore include aggressive escalation of antiseizure medications followed by early initiation of a ketogenic diet and immunomodulation. First-line immunotherapy should be initiated within 72 h of seizure onset, with a ketogenic diet and second-line immunomodulation being started in the first week if seizures remain. This article aims to review current knowledge on NORSE and to highlight specific areas including recent consensus definitions and Delphi-based recommendations as well as open registries for future research.

AbstractMedicinal and spices plants are crucial, and they can become infested by several insects, such as drugstore beetle (Stegobium paniceum l.) and the cigarette beetle (Lasioderma serricorne), during storage. Therefore, the present study aimed to assess the effect of enriched modified atmospheres (MAs), with CO2or N2, onL. serricorneandS. paniceumadults and larvae and their effect on quality of chamomile flowers and coriander seeds during storage. Various carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas concentrations were tested, including 40% CO2, 50% CO2, 60% CO2, 97% N2, and 98% N2. The larval mortality forS. paniceumreached 100% after 6 days of 60% CO2and 8 days for theL. serricorne. At 98% N2treatment, the complete mortality (100%) ofS. paniceumandL. serricorneadults was recorded following 3 and 9 day exposures and of larvae following 10 day exposure.The quality parameters (weight loss percentage, germination, essential oil percentage, and color) of chamomile flower and coriander seeds treated with 60% CO2and control were studied after 3 and 6 months of storage. The MAs had the lowest weight loss percentage, the highest lightness value, the lowest color changes, and the highest essential oil content of chamomile flower and coriander seeds compared with the control treatment. Additionally, the MAs induced a higher germination percentage of coriander seeds compared with the control. Treatment with CO2increased some essential oils compounds, compared with control after 6 months of storage of chamomile. All compounds were decreased in coriander seeds treated with CO2, except for carvone and anethole, which were increased. In conclusion, our study recommends using MAs to controlS. paniceumandL. serricorneduring storage and maintain the quality of chamomile flower and coriander seed.

Published: October 2023

AbstractCognitive behavior therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for many autistic children experiencing mental health problems, and parents are particularly involved in their psychotherapy. This study presents a conceptual framework of successful parent involvement in CBT for autistic children. Seventeen therapists (94% female) and 11 mothers were interviewed about their involvement in a CBT program for autistic children ages 8–13 years. The conceptual framework depicts how parent involvement varies depending on child, parent, and environmental factors. Parents’ contributions to therapy were grouped into five main roles. Parents’ beliefs and attitudes toward therapy also influenced their involvement. This is the first study to empirically investigate how parents of autistic children contribute to the therapeutic process in CBT.

Published: October 2023

AbstractAnthracnose of coffee fruits caused by Colletotrichum species is responsible for major losses in coffee production worldwide. In most coffee-producing countries, this disease has been present for many years. Recently coffee fruit rot (CFR), a disease complex of Colletotrichum spp. and Fusarium spp. as casual agents, was described in Puerto Rico but it has not yet been quantified. This study surveys incidence and severity of CFR, correlates it to elevation, cultivation methods (full sun, shade or intercalated with taller plants) and the presence of the coffee berry borer (CBB), and identifies rot-associated fungi. We found that CFR is present throughout Puerto Rico at varying levels and that environmental and cultivation factors are associated with CFR incidence and severity. Specifically, increased altitude and shade correlated with lower CFR incidence. In addition, fruits damaged by the CBB were found to have significantly more disease than undamaged fruits. Lastly, we isolated 7 fungal genera associated with CFR, the most prevalent being Colletotrichum and Fusarium. Overall, this study suggests that planting coffee at higher altitude under shade and controlling CBB can reduce CFR.

AbstractAbnormalities in impulse generation and transmission are among the first signs of cardiac remodeling in cardiomyopathies. Accordingly, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) of patients with cardiomyopathies may show multiple abnormalities. Some findings are suggestive of specific disorders, such as the discrepancy between QRS voltages and left ventricular (LV) mass for cardiac amyloidosis or the inverted T waves in the right precordial leads for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. Other findings are less sensitive and/or specific, but may orient toward a specific diagnosis in a patient with a specific phenotype, such as an increased LV wall thickness or a dilated LV. A “cardiomyopathy-oriented” mindset to ECG reading is important to detect the possible signs of an underlying cardiomyopathy and to interpret correctly the meaning of these alterations, which differs in patients with cardiomyopathies or other conditions.

Callous-unemotional Traits and Child Response to Teacher Rewards, Discipline, and Instructional Methods in Chinese Preschools: A Classroom Observation Study
Authors: Cao Xinyi , Somerville Matthew P. , Shou Yiyun , Xue Zijing , Allen Jennifer L. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAtypical responses to teacher rewards, discipline and different forms of instructional methods have been identified as potential contributors to disruptive behavior, low school engagement, and academic underachievement in children with elevated callous-unemotional (CU) traits. To date, research on CU traits in schools has relied on interview or questionnaire methods and has predominantly been conducted in Western countries. Thus, the present study aims to investigate the relationships between CU traits and children’s responses to teacher rewards, discipline and instructional methods in the Chinese preschool context using classroom observation. Eight teachers (7 females, 1 male; M = 37.66 years) and 116 children (56% girls; M = 5.16 years) from two mainstream Chinese preschools participated in the study. Of the 116 eligible children, the behavior of 108 children from four classes were observed during classroom activities. Findings indicated that CU traits were not related to children’s responses to discipline, nor did CU traits moderate the relationship between instructional methods and children’s academic engagement. Higher CU traits predicted a greater frequency of one-to-one teacher-child interaction. Our findings offer initial insights into the potential of early school-based interventions in fostering engagement and prosocial behavior among children with CU traits. However, they also highlight the need for additional support for preschool teachers, who face the challenge of managing these high-risk children who appear to require more individual time and attention.

AbstractSubstance use disorders (SUD) and overdose deaths worsened further during the Covid-19 pandemic in American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) communities. The Native Dad’s Network (NDN) delivered the Wellness Tour, offering cultural activities and SUD prevention education, from March 2021 to June 2022, to 11 AIAN tribal communities across California. The in-person program created a “sacred space” through culturally congruent song, dance, and prayer. SUD education included: a lecture about opioids and SUD; group talking circles; an educational skit led by adolescents; and training in naloxone and fentanyl testing strip use along with supplies. After the day-long program, 341 participants agreed strongly on a 5-point Likert type question that it improved their quality of life (mean = 4.7). Among 243 respondents, agreement was strong (mean = 4.8) to two Likert-type questions about cultural relevance and confidence in using naloxone. This AIAN-led program adopted safe practices during the pandemic to deliver culturally congruent SUD prevention education to severely affected AIAN communities.
Assessing the Feasibility of Partnering with a Home Visiting Program for Early Childhood Obesity Prevention

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Purpose
Little empirical data exists evaluating the feasibility of partnering with established home visiting programs to implement early childhood obesity prevention programs, despite the recommendation to do so. To inform this gap, we evaluated the feasibility of collecting anthropometric measurements of children by home visitors across multiple sites, and the alignment of these measurements with children in need, including with adverse family experiences (AFEs) given emerging evidence suggests an association with childhood obesity.

Description
Our proof-of-concept study included primary data collection of child anthropometric measurements through an established home visiting program in four states. This sample included 248 children ages 6 months to 5 years.

Assessment
In the sample, 37.1% of the children had overweight or obesity, 50% were female, 64.2% Hispanic/Latinx, 15.8% non-Hispanic Black, and 42.3% from rural/small towns. Households included substantial needs: 87.1% were low income, 73.8% low education, and 59.3% underemployment. Regarding AFEs, 38.3% of the children had at least one, with the most common being mothers who were treated violently. A multivariable model revealed community type, not AFEs, was significantly associated with overweight/obesity status, suggesting children in suburban and especially rural/small town residences (odds ratio 5.11; 95% CI [1.59, 16.39]) could be priority populations for childhood obesity prevention programs.

Conclusion
Findings of this multi-site study inform the feasibility of partnering with home visiting programs to reach and measure a diverse sample of children and families in need of childhood obesity prevention.
