Published: January 2024

AbstractIndonesia is the third largest cocoa producer in the world with annual export value of more than 1.2 million USD. However, cacao production in Indonesia has decreased by approximately 50% in the last decade due to socioeconomic issues and the high prevalence of pests and diseases. Cacao mosaic disease caused by cacao mild mosaic virus (Badnavirus teselotheobromae, CMMV) is currently emerging in Indonesia. This study aims to map the distribution of CMMV in cacao‐growing areas in Indonesia. Samples were collected in 2021–2023 in Java, Sumatera, Bali, and Sulawesi, which represent major cacao‐growing areas in Indonesia. We successfully detected CMMV from all samples, indicating CMMV is already distributed widely in Indonesia. Sequencing data suggests the Indonesian isolates have a common ancestor with American isolates. These findings provide new information for the quarantine board, government, and industry to arrange the policy to control the emerging CMMV.

AbstractEnsuring families of children with intellectual and/or developmental disabilities (e.g., developmental delay, intellectual disability, autism) can access early intervention and support is important. Current research indicates there are family‐level socioeconomic disparities of access to early intervention and support, however, there is limited evidence on the relationship between neighbourhood‐level socioeconomic deprivation and access to support. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the relationship between neighbourhood deprivation and families' access to and unmet need for early intervention and support. We collected cross‐sectional data using a survey of 673 parental caregivers of young children with suspected or diagnosed intellectual and/or developmental disabilities in the UK. Multiple regression models were fitted for three early intervention and support outcome variables: access to early intervention; access to services across education, health, social care, and other sectors; and unmet need for services. Each regression model included a neighbourhood deprivation variable based on the index of multiple deprivation and five control variables: family‐level economic deprivation, country, caregivers' educational level, developmental disability diagnosis, and informal support sources. Neighbourhood deprivation was a significant independent predictor of access to services, but neighbourhood deprivation was not a significant predictor of access to early intervention or unmet need for services. Families living in the most deprived neighbourhoods accessed fewer services than other families. Socioeconomic disparities of access to early intervention and support, at both a neighbourhood and family level, exist for families of young children with suspected or diagnosed intellectual and/or developmental disabilities in the UK. Future research should focus on policy and other interventions aimed at addressing socioeconomic disparities at the neighbourhood and family level, to ensure equitable access to early intervention and support.

Published: January 2024

AbstractOver 7.5 million people (approximately 2% of the US population) with intellectual and developmental disability live in the United States with the vast majority living in the community and accessing healthcare from the general healthcare system. For over two decades, there has been a national recognition that people with IDD experience poorer health outcomes and experience barriers in access to healthcare. We describe the important legal and financial frameworks that influence access to health care for people with IDD in the US, including a summary of major federal laws and insurance programs that have shaped the landscape of health and social care in the community, evolving trends in payment models, and the risks and benefits of these models. Further, we provide a description of health care delivery models which have been developed to support healthcare for people with disabilities including coordinated care delivery models. Clinical training and support for non‐clinicians to attend to the particular health care needs of the population with IDD is critical yet is not widely available. Additionally, there remain significant access and quality gaps in healthcare for people with IDD. We conclude with a call for advances in health care quality, access and efforts to advance research and data collection to promote health equity for this population.

Published: January 2024

AbstractOver the last 2 decades, routine collections in the Hawaiian Archipelago have expanded to mesophotic reefs, leading to the discovery of a new red algal genus and species, here described as Anunuuluaehu liula gen. et sp. nov. This study provides a detailed genus and species description and characterizes chloroplast and mitochondrial organellar genomes. The new genus, Anunuuluaehu, shares many characteristics with the family Phyllophoraceae and shows close similarities to Archestennogramma and Stenogramma, including habit morphology, nemathecia forming proliferations at the outer cortex with terminal chains of tetrasporangia, and carposporophytes with multi‐layered pericarps. The single species in this genus exhibits distinctive features within the Phyllophoraceae: the presence of single‐layer construction of large medullary cells and the development of long, tubular gonimoblastic filaments. Multi‐gene phylogenetic analyses confirmed it as a unique, monophyletic lineage within the family. Cis‐splicing genes, interrupted by intron‐encoded proteins within group II introns, are present in both the chloroplast and mitochondrial genomes of A. liula. Notably, a specific region of the coxI group II intron exhibits similarity to fungal introns. Anunuuluaehu liula is presumed to be endemic to the Hawaiian Archipelago and thus far is known to live solely at mesophotic depths from Hōlanikū to Kaho‘olawe ranging from 54 to 201 m, which is the deepest collection record of any representative in the family. Overall, this study enhances our understanding of the genomic and taxonomic complexities of red algae in mesophotic habitats, emphasizing the significance of continued research in this area to uncover further insights into evolutionary processes and biogeographic patterns.

AbstractPurposeThe majority of pediatric antibiotic prescribing occurs in the outpatient setting and inappropriate use contributes to antimicrobial resistance. There are regional variations in outpatient antibiotic use with the highest rates occurring in the Southern states, including in Appalachia. The purpose of this study was to describe the rates and risk factors for inappropriate antibiotic prescription among pediatric patients enrolled in North Carolina (NC) Medicaid.MethodsWe used Medicaid prescription claims data from 2013 to 2019 to describe patterns of pediatric antibiotic prescription in NC. We assessed patient and provider factors to identify variations in prescribing.FindingsChildren who were less than 2 years of age, non‐Hispanic White, and living in a rural area had the highest overall rates of antibiotic prescription. Compared to pediatricians, the risk of inappropriate antibiotic prescription was highest among other specialists and general practioners and lowest among nurse practitioners. Rural areas of NC had the highest rates of inappropriate antibiotic prescribing, and the risk for non‐Hispanic Black children compared to children of other races/ethnicities was compounded by rurality.ConclusionsPrescribing practices in NC differ compared to neighboring states with a lower overall risk of inappropriate prescription in Appalachian regions; however, disparities by race and rurality exist. Outpatient stewardship efforts in NC should focus on ensuring health equity by appreciating racial and geographic variations in prescribing patterns and providing education to all health care providers.

Published: January 2024

AbstractAimsLatitudinal gradients in plant communities are well studied, yet how these fundamental ecological patterns influence ecosystem recovery after extreme weather events remains largely unknown. In coastal foredunes, we investigated how the cover of a key dune‐building grass (Uniola paniculata), vegetation diversity and vegetation cover vary along a short latitudinal gradient during recovery from hurricane disturbance.LocationSoutheastern USA.MethodsWe surveyed 24 sites, from central Florida to north Georgia (>400 km), four times over 18 months. General linear mixed‐effect models were used to unravel patterns of vegetation responses across latitude.ResultsVegetation properties showed countervailing patterns across the latitudinal gradient. While vegetation richness, functional diversity and total cover generally declined, Uniola cover increased with increasing latitude. Further, the latitude–richness relationship strengthened while the latitude–functional diversity relationship was invariant with increasing time since the hurricane disturbance. Meanwhile, the latitude–Uniola association was seasonally dependent and strongest in the summer. Latitude also influenced diversity–cover relationships: vegetation cover was positively related to species richness at lower latitudes, while it was positively associated with functional diversity only at northern sites. We found no relationship between species richness or functional diversity and increases in cover between time steps; however, recruitment of new species and functional groups was associated with increases in vegetation cover between time steps at northern sites.ConclusionsOur study highlights the temporal dynamism and contrasting patterns along latitudinal gradients exhibited by key engineering species and overall plant diversity in foredunes — a crucial line of coastal protection — exposed to hurricane disturbances. These results suggest a need for greater integration of latitudinal and diversity effects into our understanding of coastal dune resilience. They also highlight the potential benefits of enhancing dune plant biodiversity, particularly in areas where the dune‐building grasses that are classically employed in restoration (e.g., Uniola) are unfavoured, to accelerate the re‐establishment of well‐vegetated dunes.

AbstractUnderstanding how spatial patterns of mating and gene flow respond to habitat loss and geographical isolation is a crucial aspect of forest fragmentation genetics. Naturally fragmented riparian tree populations exhibit unique characteristics that significantly influence these patterns. In this study, we investigate mating patterns, pollen‐mediated gene flow, and genetic diversity in relict populations of Frangula alnus in southern Spain by testing specific hypotheses related to the riparian habitat. We employ a novel approach that combines paternity analysis, particularly suited for small and isolated populations, with complex network theory and Bayesian models to predict mating likelihood among tree pairs. Our findings reveal a prevalence of short‐distance pollination, resulting in spatially driven local mating clusters with a distinct subset of trees being highly connected in the mating network. Additionally, we observe numerous pollination events over distances of hundreds of metres and considerable pollen immigration. Local neighbourhood density is the primary factor influencing within‐population mating patterns and pollen dispersal; moreover, mating network properties reflect the population's size and spatial configuration. Conversely, among‐population pollen dispersal is mainly determined by tree size, which influences floral display. Our results do not support a major role of directional pollen dispersal in longitudinal trends of genetic diversity. We provide evidence that long‐term fragmented tree populations persist in unique environments that shape mating patterns and impose constraints to pollen‐mediated gene flow. Nevertheless, even seemingly strongly isolated populations can maintain functional connectivity over extended periods, especially when animal‐mediated mating networks promote genetic diversity, as in this riparian tree species.
Improving single‐stage activity recognition of excavators using knowledge distillation of temporal gradient data
Authors: Ghelmani Ali , Hammad Amin 
Published: January 2024

AbstractSingle‐stage activity recognition methods have been gaining popularity within the construction domain. However, their low per‐frame accuracy necessitates additional post‐processing to link the per‐frame detections. Therefore, limiting their real‐time monitoring capabilities is an indispensable component of the emerging construction of digital twins. This study proposes knowledge DIstillation of temporal Gradient data for construction Entity activity Recognition (DIGER), built upon the you only watch once (YOWO) method and improving its activity recognition and localization performance. Activity recognition is improved by designing an auxiliary backbone to exploit the complementary information in the temporal gradient data (transferred into YOWO using knowledge distillation), while localization is improved primarily through integration of complete intersection over union loss. DIGER achieved a per‐frame activity recognition accuracy of 93.6% and localization mean average precision at 50% of 79.8% on a large custom dataset, outperforming state‐of‐the‐art methods without requiring additional computation during inference, making it highly effective for real‐time monitoring of construction site activities.
A method for suspenders tension identification of bridges based on the spatio‐temporal correlation between the girder strain and suspenders tension
Authors: Xu Qianen , Gao Qingfei , Liu Yang 
Published: January 2024

AbstractIn the actual structural health monitoring system of suspension bridges, only part of suspenders tension can be monitored, but not all the suspenders tension can be obtained. To solve this problem, a method for suspenders tension identification of bridges based on the spatio‐temporal correlation between the girder strain and suspenders tension is proposed. By using actual monitoring data of vehicle loads, a spatio‐temporal correlation model of the girder strain and tension forces of all suspenders is constructed based on the combined application of stacked denoising autoencoder and convolutional neural networks‐long short‐term memory model, so as to realize the preliminary identification of suspenders tension. On this basis, by using the actual monitoring data of suspenders tension and the strain monitoring data obtained through the distributed optical fiber sensors, the delicate identification of tension forces of all suspenders is realized based on the error interpolation of preliminary identification results. The results of the example bridge show that the method in this paper can effectively identify tension forces of all suspenders of the suspension bridge, and identification results are more accurate than the method using only the monitoring data of suspenders.

AbstractBackgroundTinea of vellus hair is a dermatophyte infection with or without localised infection of adjacent skin. The epidemiology and pathogenesis of this disorder have insufficiently been established.ObjectivesTo gain insight into the epidemiology and analysis dissection of patterns of vellus hair infection.MethodsA comprehensive examination of our series of cases and existing literature, clinical information was performed. Microsporum species were assayed for levels of keratinase and SUB1‐3 level after different keratin‐induced cultures.ResultsThe infection affects both children and adults, with a male‐to‐female ratio of 1:1.3. The most afflicted areas are the face, neck and upper limbs. Both typical (ringworm‐like) and atypical (tinea incognito) tinea lesions can be observed. The disorder is caused primarily by the zoophilic Microsporum canis (40.39%). Topical antifungal drugs alone are ineffective; mycological cure is achieved in combination with systemic antifungal therapy for 4–8 weeks. In vitro, M. canis exhibited significantly elevated levels of secreted protease and SUB1 and SUB3 transcripts in cat hair cultures. Conversely, the findings of anthropophilic dermatophytes M. audouinii and M. ferrugineum demonstrated the opposite trend, suggesting that there are associations between keratinase activity and expression of SUB1 and SUB3 induced by different keratin substrates among M. canis complex members.ConclusionsThe epidemiological characteristics of tinea of vellus hair help us to understand its transmission patterns and develop effective prevention strategies. There are associations between keratinase activity and expression of SUB1‐3 induced by different substrates, which may explain the host shift and adaptation from pet animals to particular micro‐habitats on the human host.

AbstractThe objective of this study was to investigate how the availability of food in the household environment is associated with a daily intake of regular and diet soft drinks in European children, considering BMI status. This cross‐sectional study utilised baseline data from 12 211 schoolchildren participating in the Feel4Diabetes European lifestyle modification intervention. Sociodemographics, soft drink intake and household food availability data were collected using parent‐completed questionnaires. Anthropometry was recorded, and children were classified into BMI categories according to the International Obesity Task Force cut‐offs. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis controlled for children's sex, mother's BMI, and educational level, frequent household availability of fruit juice (sugar added), regular soft drinks and salty snacks compared to less frequent were positively associated with daily regular soft drink intake in children, regardless of BMI group (ORs range 1.59–6.69). Conversely, frequent availability of fruit juice (no added sugar) was inversely related to regular soft drink intake in both BMI groups, as was the availability of fresh fruit in the overweight/obesity group, and the availability of diet soft drinks in the underweight/normal‐weight (ORs range 0.31–0.54). In conclusion, habitual household availability of selected energy‐dense foods/beverages was positively associated with a daily intake of regular soft drinks in European children, regardless of BMI status. Contrastingly, household availability of fresh fruit, fruit juice (no added sugar) and diet soft drinks were inversely associated with regular soft drink intake. Programmes focusing on reducing children's soft drink intake should consider reducing the availability of sugar‐added beverages in the household food environment and encouraging water consumption, as a practical, healthier alternative suggestion.

AbstractObjectiveThis study proposed to assess the effect of Cryptocarya moschata extract on single and mixed biofilms formed on denture base and reline acrylic resin.Materials and MethodsSingle and mixed biofilms of Candida albicans and Streptococcus mutans were formed on the samples and treated with C. moschata extract; Nystatin solution at 100,000 IU/mL or Penicillin antibiotic solution at 100,000 IU/mL; or PBS solution. Antimicrobial activity was analyzed by counting colony‐forming units, metabolism assay, assessment of protein components of the biofilm matrix, and of cell viability using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Data were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey's post‐test (α = 0.05).ResultsCryptocarya moschata extract reduced cell viability of C. albicans and S. mutans single and mixed biofilms formed on samples. For all types of biofilms in the C. moschata group, there was a log reduction of the biofilm, proven by the Alamar Blue assay. Analyzing the extracellular matrix protein components, groups treated with the extract exhibited a lower level of fluorescence compared to the PBS groups. Reduction in thickness biofilm and viable cells was perceptible in the C. moschata group when assessing through CLSM.ConclusionCryptocarya moschata extract reduced the single and mixed biofilms of C. albicans and S. mutans on acrylic resins.
