Published: October 2023

Background: The global scientific literature in dentistry has shown important advances in the field, with major contributions ranging from the analysis of the basic epidemiological aspects of prevention to specialised results in the field of dental treatments. The present investigation aimed to analyse the current state of the scientific literature on dentistry hosted in the Web of Science database. Methods: The methodology included two phases in the analysis of articles and indexed reviews in all thematic areas. During the first phase, the following variables were analysed: scientific production by the publisher, the evolution of scientific output published by publishers, the factors associated with the impact of scientific production, and the modelling of the impact of scientific production on dentistry. During the second phase, associations, evolutions, and trends in the use of keywords in the scientific literature in dentistry were analysed. Results: The first phase shows that scientific production in dentistry will increase between 2010 and 2021, reaching 12,126 articles in 2021. Publishers such as Wiley and Elsevier stand out, but Quintessence Publishing has the most citations. Factors such as pages, authors, and references influence the number of citations. Phase 2 analyzes trends in the dental literature using the WoS database. Topics such as "dental education", "pediatric dentistry", and "pandemic" stand out. The intersection of technology and dentistry and the importance of evidence-based education are highlighted. Conclusions: In conclusion, the study shows that the most studied topics include the association of dental education and the curriculum, the association of pediatric dentistry with oral health, and dental care. The findings show that more recently emphasised topics also stand out, such as evidence-based dentistry, the COVID-19 pandemic, infection control, and endodontics, as well as the need for future research to expand current knowledge based on emerging topics in the scientific literature on dentistry.

Robustness of Stochastic Optimal Control to Approximate Diffusion Models Under Several Cost Evaluation Criteria
Authors: Pradhan Somnath , Yüksel Serdar 
Published: October 2023

In control theory, typically a nominal model is assumed based on which an optimal control is designed and then applied to an actual (true) system. This gives rise to the problem of performance loss because of the mismatch between the true and assumed models. A robustness problem in this context is to show that the error because of the mismatch between a true and an assumed model decreases to zero as the assumed model approaches the true model. We study this problem when the state dynamics of the system are governed by controlled diffusion processes. In particular, we discuss continuity and robustness properties of finite and infinite horizon α-discounted/ergodic optimal control problems for a general class of nondegenerate controlled diffusion processes as well as for optimal control up to an exit time. Under a general set of assumptions and a convergence criterion on the models, we first establish that the optimal value of the approximate model converges to the optimal value of the true model. We then establish that the error because of the mismatch that occurs by application of a control policy, designed for an incorrectly estimated model, to a true model decreases to zero as the incorrect model approaches the true model. We see that, compared with related results in the discrete-time setup, the continuous-time theory lets us utilize the strong regularity properties of solutions to optimality (Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman) equations, via the theory of uniformly elliptic partial differential equations, to arrive at strong continuity and robustness properties.

Authors: Bishayi Debolina , Suvarna Kavya , Singh Surmayee , Dutta Arindam , Thomas Manuel S 
Published: October 2023

The mouth mirror is an essential tool in the dental armamentarium. Among its many functions, the most significant is being able to visualize aspects of the oral cavity that are not accessible visually with an appropriate operator posture. Various mouth mirrors are available and can differ in their design, head size and reflective surface. While in use, clinicians may encounter multiple circumstances that can hamper the quality of the reflected image. This in turn can negatively influence the diagnosis and treatment delivered. Hence, the purpose of this Technique Tip is to provide information on various designs of mouth mirrors as well as to provide solutions to counter the challenges associated with the use of mouth mirrors. Clinical relevance: Sharp, bright, reflected images may be provided for dental clinicians using simple methods and other equipment associated with the mouth mirror.

Authors: Kumar S , Harisankar AG , Singh R , Kumar A , Kumar B , Mandal M 
Published: October 2023

Introduction Gastrointestinal (GI) lipomas are rare; however, they are frequent enough to be considered in the differential diagnosis of gut tumours. Here, we present our experience with GI lipomas managed at our institute over the last three years. Methods This is a retrospective cohort study of patients with GI lipomas managed between January, 2020 and April, 2023 at a tertiary care centre. Clinical presentation, location, and details of surgical procedure were analysed. Results Ten patients were included, six of whom had lipoma in the colon, one in the stomach, and one each in the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The mean age at the time of presentation was 48.8 years (range, 19–77 years), and strong male preponderance (4:1) was noted. Preoperative diagnosis of lipoma on cross-sectional imaging was possible in all patients. All patients were symptomatic and were managed surgically. Conclusions While GI lipomas are generally considered to be indolent and benign tumours, they can potentially lead to severe complications. The utilisation of computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging has brought about a significant transformation in diagnosing this condition, enabling preoperative identification in most cases. The surgery offers a definitive treatment with minimal risk of postoperative complications.
Photonic instantaneous microwave frequency measurement based on frequency-phase mapping with high precision
Authors: Gao Jing , Ma Jianxin 
Published: October 2023

This paper presents an instantaneous microwave frequency measurement scheme based on a frequency-phase mapping technique. In our scheme, a low-frequency (LF) reference signal and two microwave signals with a relative time delay are modulated on the optical carriers via two dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulators. The generated electrical signal has the same frequency as that of the LF reference signal, but with a phase shift, which depends on the microwave signal frequency and the time delay. Therefore, a linear frequency-phase mapping function with a high slope is constructed, which improves the accuracy of the whole frequency measurement range. The scheme has a compact structure without an optical filter and polarization devices, which enhances the long-term stability of the system. The simulation shows that our scheme has a 4.1–40 GHz frequency measurement range with errors less than ±0.04 GHz.
Photon-pair production and frequency translation using backward-wave spontaneous parametric downconversion

Published: October 2023

Backward-wave three-wave mixing is a difficult χ(2) interaction to observe, because it requires ultrashort poling periods to achieve phasematching. Having realized sub-micrometer periods in periodically poled KTiOPO4 (PPKTP), we demonstrate for the first time first-order quasi-phasematched, backward-wave spontaneous parametric downconversion (BW SPDC). We pumped the PPKTP crystal at 800 nm and obtained a forward-wave signal at 1400 nm and a backward-wave idler at 1868 nm. We estimated an internal pair production rate of 4.0 × 104 pairs/s/mW. The backward-wave phasematching constraints lead to the unique tuning property that spectral features of the pump are transferred to the forward-wave signal photons, which makes BW SPDC an attractive source of spectrally shaped, heralded single photons. These spectrally shaped photons are useful for quantum computing and quantum interconnects. For the first time, we experimentally show this effect by observing frequency translation between a spectrally shaped pump beam and the BW SPDC signal photons. Due to their unique properties, BW-SPDC-based devices will be important building blocks for quantum information processing.

Published: October 2023

Background
The clinical and genomic epidemiology of melioidosis varies across regions.

Aim
To describe the clinical and genetic diversity of B. pseudomallei across Queensland, Australia.

Methods
Whole genome sequencing of clinical isolates stored at the melioidosis reference lab from 1996–2020 was performed and analysed in conjunction with available clinical data.

Results
Isolates from 292 patients were analysed. Bacteraemia was present in 71% and pneumonia in 65%. The case-fatality rate was 25%. Novel sequence types (ST) accounted for 51% of all isolates. No association was identified between the variable virulence factors assessed and patient outcome. Over time, the proportion of First Nation’s patients declined from 59% to 26%, and the proportion of patients aged >70 years rose from 13% to 38%.

Conclusion
This study describes a genomically diverse and comparatively distinct collection of B. pseudomallei clinical isolates from across Queensland, Australia. An increasing incidence of melioidosis in elderly patients may be an important factor in the persistently high case-fatality in this region and warrants further investigation and directed intervention.
Public attitudes towards dialects: Evidence from 31 Chinese provinces
Authors: Li Tianxin , Ke Xigang , Li Jin 
Published: October 2023

Background
Dialect Attitude is conceptualized as an individual’s cognitive and affective evaluation of a dialect and its speakers. In the contemporary China, dialect is suffering from significant stigmatization, resulting in social inequalities, which hinder sustainable development. This study aims to reveal the Chinese public attitudes towards dialects, and clarify the potential determinants related to heterogeneous attitudes at a macro level.

Methods
We combine the crawler technology and sentiment analysis to conduct a provincial cross-sectional study. We collect 1,650,480 microblogs about public attitudes towards dialects from Microblog across 31 specific Chinese provinces. Spatial regression models are utilized to clarify the influence of macro-level determinants on differences in public attitudes.

Results
The present study reveals that: (1) The Chinese public generally holds positive attitudes towards dialects, with significant variation between provinces. (2) Political Resource (β = 0.076, SD = 0.036, P<0.05), Economic Development (β = 0.047, SD = 0.022, P<0.05), and Cultural Resource (β = 0.054, SD = 0.021, P<0.05) promote public positive attitudes towards dialects. (3) Political Resource and Culture Resource influence more significant in the relatively advantaged regions, and Economic Development poses a higher influence in the relatively disadvantaged regions.

Conclusions
Basing on the combination of crawler technology and sentiment analysis, the present study develops the most comprehensive database which takes 1,650,480 dialects-related microblogs from 31 Chinese provinces, and describes the following scenario: (1) Overall, the Chinese public shares a relatively positive attitude towards dialects with significant variations among different provinces, (2) Political Resource, Economic Development and Culture Resource pose positive effects on Chinese public attitudes towards dialects and (3) Political Resource and Culture Resource influence more significant in the relatively disadvantaged regions, and Economic Development poses a higher influence in the relatively advantaged regions.

AbstractIt has been suspected that tumor resection surgery itself may accelerate breast cancer (BC) lung metastasis in some patients. Emodin, a natural anthraquinone found in the roots and rhizomes of various plants, exhibits anticancer activity. We examined the perioperative use of emodin in our established surgery wounding murine BC model. Emodin reduced primary BC tumor growth and metastasis in the lungs in both sham and surgical wounded mice, consistent with a reduction in proliferation and enhanced apoptosis (primary tumor and lungs). Further, emodin reduced systemic inflammation, most notably the number of monocytes in the peripheral blood and reduced pro‐tumoral M2 macrophages in the primary tumor and the lungs. Consistently, we show that emodin reduces gene expression of select macrophage markers and associated cytokines in the primary tumor and lungs of wounded mice. Overall, we demonstrate that emodin is beneficial in mitigating surgical wounding accelerated lung metastasis in a model of triple‐negative BC, which appears to be mediated, at least in part, by its actions on macrophages. These data support the development of emodin as a safe, low‐cost, and effective agent to be used perioperatively to alleviate the surgery triggered inflammatory response and consequential metastasis of BC to the lungs.

Published: October 2023

AbstractHypertensive nephrosclerosis (HN) and Type 2 diabetic nephropathy (T2DN) are the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD). To explore shared pathogenetic mechanisms, we analyzed transcriptomes of kidney biopsies from patients with HN or T2DN. Total RNA was extracted from 10 μm whole kidney sections from patients with HN, T2DN, and normal controls (Ctrl) (n = 6 for each group) and processed for RNA sequencing. Differentially expressed (log2 fold change >1, adjusted p < 0.05) genes (DEG) and molecular pathways were analyzed, and selected results were validated by immunohistochemistry (IHC). ELISA on serum samples was performed on a related cohort consisting of patients with biopsy‐proven HN (n = 13) and DN (n = 9), and a normal control group (n = 14). Cluster analysis on RNA sequencing data separated diseased and normal tissues. RNA sequencing revealed that 88% (341 out of 384) of DEG in HN were also altered in T2DN, while gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) showed that over 90% of affected molecular pathways, including those related to inflammation, immune response, and cell‐cycle regulation, were similarly impacted in both HN and T2DN samples. The increased expression of genes tied to interleukin signaling and lymphocyte activation was more pronounced in HN, while genes associated with extracellular matrix organization were more evident in T2DN. Both HN and T2DN tissues exhibited significant upregulation of genes connected with inflammatory responses, T‐cell activity, and partial epithelial to mesenchymal transition (p‐EMT). Immunohistochemistry (IHC) further confirmed T‐cell (CD4+ and CD8+) infiltration in the diseased tissues. Additionally, IHC revealed heightened AXL protein expression, a key regulator of inflammation and p‐EMT, in both HN and T2DN, while serum analysis indicated elevated soluble AXL levels in patients with both conditions. These findings underline the shared molecular mechanisms between HN and T2DN, hinting at the potential for common therapeutic strategies targeting both diseases.
The Case of John and Juliet: TV Reboots, Gender Swaps, and the Denial of Queer Identity
Authors: Jenner Mareike 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThis article deals with issues of diversity and “visibility politics” in contemporary American middlebrow television. The focus here is specifically how the reboots ofHawaii Five-0approach these issues. This article uses the gender swapMagnum, P.I., where Higgins (John Hillerman/Perdita Weeks) is rendered female, as an example to explore how feminism and queer visibility are pitted against each other, while being rendered politically mute. While contemporary US middlebrow TV features a lot of racial, gender, and body and ability diversity, many of these issues are approached as visual rather than political. Drawing on different theories on representation and visibility of marginalised groups, this article argues that middlebrow TV reboots aim for a higher degree of inclusion than original series, without fully responding to the political agendas linked to equality and civil rights. Reducing political issues to questions of visibility results in a “flattening out” of goals White maintaining an ideology of “political neutrality.”
Features of yeast RNA polymerase I with special consideration of the lobe binding subunits

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) are structural components of ribosomes and represent the most abundant cellular RNA fraction. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, they account for more than 60 % of the RNA content in a growing cell. The major amount of rRNA is synthesized by RNA polymerase I (Pol I). This enzyme transcribes exclusively the rRNA gene which is tandemly repeated in about 150 copies on chromosome XII. The high number of transcribed rRNA genes, the efficient recruitment of the transcription machinery and the dense packaging of elongating Pol I molecules on the gene ensure that enough rRNA is generated. Specific features of Pol I and of associated factors confer promoter selectivity and both elongation and termination competence. Many excellent reviews exist about the state of research about function and regulation of Pol I and how Pol I initiation complexes are assembled. In this report we focus on the Pol I specific lobe binding subunits which support efficient, error-free, and correctly terminated rRNA synthesis.
The Rhetoric of Caliphal Legitimacy. On the Use of

alqāb by the Umayyad Rulers in the East
Authors: Bitsch Sebastian 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The Umayyad caliphs of Damascus have been remembered in Arabic historiography by their respective given name (ism). While epithets (alqāb) are widely documented from the ʿAbbāsid period onward for rulers, emirs, viziers, and courtiers, and have been treated in some detail in research, no comparable studies exist for the Umayyads. This paper discusses the style and validity of epithets ascribed to Umayyad caliphs drawing on a wide array of sources, including historiographical works and panegyric as well as material evidence. It is argued that an interpretation of alqāb in the sense of individual throne names, which only became the norm under the ʿAbbāsids, distorts our perspective of the process of augmenting the ruler’s name with honorific epithets, which can already be observed in the Umayyad period. This expansion of the ruler’s titulature, it is argued, mirrors a broader process of sacralizing caliphal power to legitimize the claim to authority in the face of competing factions within the nascent Islamic empire.
Microfluidics on lensless, semiconductor optical image sensors: challenges and opportunities for democratization of biosensing at the micro-and nano-scale

Published: October 2023

AbstractOptical image sensors are 2D arrays of pixels that integrate semiconductor photodiodes and field effect transistors for efficient photon conversion and processing of generated electrons. With technological advancements and subsequent democratization of these sensors, opportunities for integration with microfluidics devices are currently explored. 2D pixel arrays of such optical image sensors can reach dimensions larger than one centimeter with a sub-micrometer pixel size, for high spatial resolution lensless imaging with large field of view, a feat that cannot be achieved with lens-based optical microscopy. Moreover, with advancements in fabrication processes, the field of microfluidics has evolved to develop microfluidic devices with an overall size below one centimeter and individual components of sub-micrometer size, such that they can now be implemented onto optical image sensors. The convergence of these fields is discussed in this article, where we review fundamental principles, opportunities, challenges, and outlook for integration, with focus on contact-mode imaging configuration. Most recent developments and applications of microfluidic lensless contact-based imaging to the field of biosensors, in particular those related to the potential for point of need applications, are also discussed.
