Authors: Kohanová Dominika , Bartoníčková Daniela , Žiaková Katarína 
Published: November 2023

AbstractAimsMissed nursing care (MNC) significantly affects patient safety and quality of care. It is a widely used concept that has been studied in different settings, but research in paediatric care is quite limited. Therefore, this descriptive cross‐sectional study aimed to report the prevalence, patterns, correlates, factors and predictors of MNC in paediatric care units in two central European countries.DesignA cross‐sectional comparative study.MethodsData collection was carried out between June and November 2021 using the MISSCARE Survey‐Pediatric. The study included 441 registered nurses working in paediatric care units in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics in the SPSS 25.0 statistical program.ResultsAlmost all nurses, 92.7% of nurses missed at least one nursing activity during the last shift. The most missed care activity in both countries was the promotion of neuroevolutionary development, and the most prominent reasons were labour resources. MNC was weakly but significantly correlated with nurse experience in the current position and was predicted by the country, nurse education and overtime hours (p ≤ .05). Differences in prevalence of MNC and reasons for MNC were identified based on several variables (p ≤ .05).ConclusionThe assessment of MNC in paediatric settings is often a neglected area, although the prevalence in this study was moderate.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareNurse staff shortages, as a global problem, have many impacts on patient outcomes in the delivery of nursing care. However, there are also many factors that can reduce the prevalence of MNC. More research should focus on a closer examination of these factors that involve hospital and nurse variables.Reporting MethodThe study was carried out according to the STROBE checklist and the RANCARE guideline.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.

Published: November 2023

AbstractWhile a growing body of literature links the stressor of job insecurity (JI) with poor employee well‐being and increased work‐to‐family conflict (WFC), the current study specifically tests WFC as an explanatory mechanism of the relationships between affective JI (i.e., emotional reactions to the perceived threat to one's job) and poor health outcomes (i.e., mental and physical health). Moreover, this study uniquely examines how family–work stereotype threat (FWST; i.e., fears of confirming negative stereotypes about workers with family obligations) may exacerbate the relationship between perceived threats to one's job and employee reports of WFC. Using a cross‐country design, data from 707 employees in the United States (two‐wave) and 763 employees nested within 100 organizations in Italy (multilevel, cross‐sectional) largely supported the hypothesized mediation model. Specifically, WFC explains the association of JI with individual mental and physical health in both countries. Moreover, FWST exacerbates the direct relation of JI with WFC in the United States, but not in Italy. These findings suggest that the fear of losing one's job may prompt employee experiences of WFC and subsequent poorer physical and mental health; additionally, in the United States, this effect is even stronger among employees who reported higher levels of FWST. We interpret these heterogeneous findings in the light of nation‐related factors in managing increasingly insecure employment markets, especially after the COVID‐19 pandemic. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed for improving both health and work–life boundary management of post‐pandemic workers.

AbstractPurposeThe design of the angulated screw channel in implant restorations allows the possibility to correct angulation discrepancies, especially in the anterior maxilla. However, the effects of varied screw channel angulations on fracture resistances and fracture patterns of the implant restorations are still uncertain, and thus the aim of this study.Materials and MethodsAngulated screw channel monolithic zirconia crowns (Nobel Biocare) with three different angulation groups—straight (ASC1), 15° (ASC15), and 25° (ASC25)—were digitally designed from a left central incisor prototype scan. Following fabrication, 10 samples of each group were individually mounted onto implant replicas embedded in standardized type V stone gypsum cylinder jigs (25 mm × 25 mm). All screws were manually torqued to 35 Ncm according to the manufacturer's recommendation, and screw access openings were subsequently sealed with resin composite. To mimic the off‐axis loading of the central incisor, the specimens were then loaded at a cephalometric interincisal relationship of 135° between the long axis of the crown and the Instron force applicator, with crosshead speed set at 0.5 mm/min. Fractured abutment surfaces were examined, and selected specimens were further evaluated by scanning electron microscopy. Screw torque values were also measured after the catastrophic loading. One‐way ANOVA was used to compare load‐to‐fracture values between groups, with the statistical significance set at 0.05 (p values).ResultsThe mean load‐to‐fracture values in descending order were 331.24N (±34.00N) in ASC15, 325.22N (±35.50N) in ASC25, and 302.04N (±45.10N) in ASC1, with no statistically significant differences between groups. Considerable screw torque losses were found in all groups after catastrophically loading. The average torque loss was 84% in ASC1, 86% in ASC15, and 94% in ASC25. 16 out of 30 specimens experienced screw loosening; one ASC1 screw underwent slight deformation. Crowns of all tested groups exhibited cohesive fracture patterns at the screw‐metallic‐zirconia interfaces.ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this in vitro study, one‐piece monolithic zirconia implant crowns with varied screw channel angulations shared similar fracture‐strength and fracture‐mode characteristics. The zirconia‐titanium base junctions exhibited the weakest link of all restorations.
Atmospheric Buddhism: How Buddhism is Distributed, Felt, and Moralized in a Repressive Society
Authors: Cho Yasmin 
Published: November 2023

ABSTRACTA growing number of lay Buddhist practitioners have sought out alternative ways to incorporate Buddhist teachings in their daily practices and make positive changes in society by “doing good” for others. Sometimes recognized as part of “humanistic Buddhism,” this approach emphasizes general morality and focuses on people who need help as a way to fulfill Buddhist teachings in this world. Some Chinese Buddhist practitioners who follow the Tibetan Buddhist tradition also carry out similar humanistic engagements but use more subtle space‐making processes and often “brand” these as Buddhist practices. Drawing on the ethnographic observations of lay Buddhist practitioners in urban China, this article examines how urban practitioners promote (middle‐class) morality and well‐being lifestyles through what I call “atmospheric Buddhism.” Ultimately, the article argues that an alternative mode of Buddhist practice is emerging in Chinese urban environments in order to cope with politically constrained environments.
From femme fatale to love goddess:Nineteenth‐centuryimages of women in sixties San Francisco psychedelic rock posters
Authors: Parke‐Taylor Michael 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis essay sheds new light on the adoption and adaptation by Sixties San Francisco psychedelic poster artists of images of women from nineteenth‐century Symbolist, Art Nouveau, and Neoclassic sources. Nineteenth‐century stereotypes of women found new relevance when transformed into the visual rhetoric of west coast psychedelic dance‐concert posters from 1966 to 1970. The legacy of these nineteenth‐century images of women is traced in psychedelic posters designed by Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Raphael (Bob) Schnepf, and Tom Wilkes who primarily targeted male hippiedom at the same moment when Sixties second‐wave feminism was beginning to emerge.
Temptation and self‐control for the impure benevolent planner: The case of heterogeneous discounting
Authors: Hayashi Takashi , Kiguchi Noriaki , Takeoka Norio 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis paper presents a “behavioral” model of a normative benevolent social planner, who faces a self‐control problem when he/she is in charge of aggregating diverse and conflicting preferences of individuals. The model is presented in the context of aggregating preferences over intertemporal streams of social outcomes, in which Zuber and Jackson and Yariv have shown the impossibility of a time‐consistent and Paretian social objective function. Unlike previous studies, our investigation focuses on the compatibility of the Pareto condition with the impure social planner who has a dynamically consistent self‐control utility function characterized by Gul and Pesendorfer. Assuming that the social planner is tempted to adopt the majority's opinion when there is a conflict of opinions among individuals, the paper characterizes an aggregation form in which the planner is allowed to depart from dictatorship in ex‐post choice under noncommitment.
Price and variety in the Salop model
Authors: Li Changying , Zhang Jianhu 
Published: November 2023

AbstractUsing a Salop circle model, this research analyzes the welfare implications of firm/product entry with information provision by consumers. While firms use consumer information to target sales efforts, consumers face privacy trade‐offs when providing their personal information. We show that (i) price and profit first increase, then decrease with more varieties; (ii) consumer welfare, affected by price, sales effort, privacy loss, and matching effects, first decreases, then increases with firm entry; (iii) equilibrium information is socially optimal given the number of varieties; and (iv) if the variable cost of providing sales assistance is low (high), free entry leads to too much (few) varieties and too little (more) information, from a social welfare standpoint.
COVID‐19 pandemic experiences of group home residents with intellectual disabilities: Findings from inclusive, qualitative interviews with self‐advocates in Massachusetts

Published: November 2023

AbstractLittle research on the experiences of persons with intellectual disabilities (ID) during the COVID‐19 pandemic has been done by persons with ID themselves. Moreover, little research focuses on group home residents with ID, despite the greater risks they faced of COVID‐19 transmission and mortality. To address these gaps, researchers with and without ID organized qualitative interviews and a focus group discussion with six group home residents with ID in Massachusetts. Study participants identified as self‐advocates and reported feelings of frustration and isolation that at times were exacerbated by community access restrictions imposed by their group homes. All participants described group home staff efforts to keep them physically safe, while some reported lapses that contributed to their risk of contracting COVID‐19. None described comparable efforts to address their social and mental health needs. All participants received information about COVID‐19 and related precautions from group home staff, but none reported receiving information about heightened risks of contracting COVID‐19 while living in group settings. Also, notwithstanding pandemic‐related challenges, most participants identified at least one positive change in their lives, either by changing where they lived or worked or by forging new relationships. Participants' perspectives, as presented to researchers with ID, shed unique light on the range of group home residents' pandemic experiences, signal opportunities for interventions addressing social isolation, and underscore the efficacy of inclusive research methods in eliciting information from research participants with ID.
Geopolitics and norms: Latin America and the international human rights regime
Authors: Dubé Sébastien 
Published: November 2023

AbstractThis article compares data on political regimes, international treaty ratification, and criminal indicators at the regional level to claim that Latin American countries are in a unique situation in the international system. Compared to other Global South regions, North America, and Europe, Latin America is a democratic region with the highest formal commitment to the international human rights regime yet has the highest levels of criminal activity. Other predominantly democratic regions do not experience the same problems related to criminal governance, such as state vulnerability and displaced populations. In addition, other regions where authoritarian regimes are the majority do not pretend to align with the principles of the international liberal order (ILO) as much as Latin America does. To explain this situation in the current context of challenges to the ILO, this article proposes the concept of geopolitics of norms to illustrate a dynamic in which nonmaterial factors such as identity explain norm adoption and adaptation in the region. We look at regional organizations and the adaptation of liberal human security principles to illustrate our point.
Harnessing student feedback to transform teachers: Role of emotions and relationships
Authors: Cavaleiro Inês , de Carvalho Filho Marco Antonio 
Published: November 2023

AbstractIntroductionFeedback is crucial to promote learning and improve performance. However, we lack a nuanced understanding of how medical teachers reflect on and internalise (or not) student feedback (SF). This study aims to fill this gap by exploring how teachers make sense of SF to improve their performance and nurture their personal and professional development.MethodsIn this cross‐sectional qualitative study based on a constructivist paradigm, 14 medical teachers individually drew a Rich Picture (RP) of a feedback experience in which they received informal or formal feedback from students, resulting in a personal or professional change. After the drawing, we interviewed the participants to deepen our understanding of teachers' experiences. We analysed the drawings and interview transcripts using an iterative process of thematic analysis.ResultsSF that culminated in personal or professional change is a highly emotional experience for teachers, often with long‐lasting consequences. It may threaten or reassure their self‐concept and professional identity, generating feedback avoidance or feedback‐seeking behaviour. SF is particularly powerful in transforming teaching practices when teachers feel connected to students through an honest and constructive relationship. Remarkably, some teachers intentionally build relationships with certain (selected) students to get ‘qualified’ feedback. SF acceptance also increases when teachers are open to receiving feedback and there is an institutional culture that values feedback. Finally, medical teachers believe that formal (planned) feedback is relevant to improve the curriculum, while informal (spontaneous) feedback is important for promoting teachers' personal and professional development.DiscussionSF has the potential to become a transformative learning experience for teachers. The student–teacher relationship and teachers' emotional reactions affect the way teachers make sense of and internalise SF and enact behavioural change. Understanding the complexity surrounding SF is vital for supporting teachers in seizing opportunities for growth and in nurturing a meaningful relationship with the act of teaching.
Advanced glycated end‐products inhibit dilation through constitutive endothelial RAGE and Nox1/4 in rat isolated skeletal muscle arteries

Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectiveThis study investigated the actions of advanced glycated end‐products (AGE), their receptors (RAGE), and NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox) subtypes 1, 2, and 4 on mechanisms of endothelium‐dependent dilation of the rat cremaster muscle artery (CMA).MethodsImmunofluorescence studies were used to examine expression of RAGE in rat arteries. ROS accumulation was measured using luminescence and fluorescence assays. Functional studies were performed using pressure myography.ResultsHigh levels of RAGE expression were shown in the endothelial cells of the CMA, compared with low endothelial expression in middle cerebral and mesenteric arteries and the aorta. Exogenous AGE (in vitro glycated bovine serum albumin) stimulated H2O2 accumulation in CMA, which was prevented by the RAGE antagonist FPS‐ZM1, the NAD(P)H oxidase (Nox) inhibitor apocynin and inhibited by the Nox1/4 inhibitor setanaxib, but not the Nox2 inhibitor GSK2795039. In functional studies, AGE inhibited vasodilation of CMA stimulated by acetylcholine, sodium nitroprusside, and the BKCa activator NS1619, but not adenosine‐induced dilation. FPS‐ZM1, apocynin, and setanaxib prevented the inhibitory effects of AGE on responses to acetylcholine and NS‐1619.ConclusionThese observations suggest RAGE are constitutively expressed in the endothelium of the rat CMA and may be activated by AGE to stimulate Nox1/4 and ROS formation with resulting inhibition of NO and BKCa‐mediated endothelium‐dependent dilation.

Published: November 2023

AbstractObjectivesAbnormal mechanical stress is the pivotal risk factor of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study investigated the pathogenic mechanism by which abnormal mechanical stress induced chondrocyte senescence.Materials and MethodsCellular senescence was investigated in the rodent model of unilateral anterior crossbite and in the chondrocytes subjected to mechanical overloading in vitro. The effects of Yes‐associated protein (YAP) in chondrocyte senescence and its correlation with methyltransferase‐like 3 (METTL3) and N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modification were evaluated. The role of m6A modification in chondrocyte senescence was determined. The therapeutic effects of m6A inhibition in TMJOA were investigated.ResultsSenescent chondrocytes were accumulated in the mechanically induced TMJOA lesions in rats and mechanical overloading could trigger chondrocyte senescence in vitro. This mechanical stress‐induced cellular senescence was revealed to be mediated by YAP deficiency that promoted METTL3‐dependent m6A modification. Moreover, inhibition of m6A modification rescued chondrocyte senescence in vitro and in vivo, and suppressed TMJOA progression in rats.ConclusionsThis study uncovered the underlying mechanism of mechanically induced senescence in TMJOA from the perspective of epitranscriptomics and revealed the therapeutic potential of m6A inhibition in TMJOA.

AbstractObjectivesWe assessed the radiation dosages (Dmean) on implant regions to identify the threshold for implant loss in patients with an intraoral malignancy treated with dental implants to support a mandibular denture during ablative surgery before volumetric‐modulated arc therapy (VMAT).Materials and MethodsData was collected prospectively from 28 patients treated surgically for an intraoral malignancy, followed by postoperative radiotherapy (VMAT) and analyzed retrospectively. Patients received 2 implants in the native mandible during ablative surgery. Implant‐specific Dmean values were retrieved from the patients' files. Radiographic bone loss was measured 1 year after implant placement and during the last follow‐up appointment. Implant survival was analyzed with the Kaplan–Meier method. Univariate logistic regression and Cox‐regression analyses were performed to investigate the effect of increasing implant‐specific radiation dosages on implant loss.ResultsFive out of 56 placed implants were lost during follow‐up (median 36.0 months, IQR 39.0). Radiographically, peri‐implant bone loss occurred in implants with a Dmean > 40 Gy. Implant loss occurred only in implants with a Dmean > 50 Gy.ConclusionAn implant‐specific Dmean higher than 50 Gy is related to more peri‐implant bone loss and, eventually, implant loss.

AbstractMelanoma is an aggressive malignant tumor with a poor prognosis. Vemurafenib (PLX4032, vem) is applied to specifically treat BRAF V600E‐mutated melanoma patients. However, prolonged usage of vem makes patients resistant to the drug and finally leads to clinical failure. We previously tested the combination regimen of tubulin inhibitor VERU‐111 with vem, as well as USP14 selective inhibitor b‐AP15 in combination with vem, both of which have showed profound therapeutic effects in overcoming vem resistance in vitro and in vivo. Most importantly, we discovered that vem‐resistant melanoma cell lines highly expressed E3 ligase SKP2 and DUB enzyme USP14, and we have demonstrated that USP14 directly interacts and stabilizes SKP2, which contributes to vem resistance. These works give us a clue that USP14 might be a promising target to overcome vem resistance in melanoma. MitoCur‐1 is a curcumin derivative, which was originally designed to specifically target tumor mitochondria inducing redox imbalance, thereby promoting tumor cell death. In this study, we have demonstrated that it can work as a novel USP14 inhibitor, and thus bears great potential in providing an anti‐tumor effect and sensitizing vem‐resistant cells by inducing ferroptosis in melanoma. Application of MitoCur‐1 dramatically induces USP14 inhibition and inactivation of GPX4 enzyme, meanwhile, increases the depletion of GSH and decreases SLC7A11 expression level. As a result, ferrous iron‐dependent lipid ROS accumulated in the cell, inducing ferroptosis, thus sensitizes the vem‐resistant melanoma cell. Interestingly, overexpression of USP14 antagonized all the ferroptosis cascade events induced by MitoCur‐1, therefore, we conclude that MitoCur‐1 induces ferroptosis through inhibition of USP14. We believe that by inhibition of USP14, vem resistance can be reversed and will finally benefit melanoma patients in future.
A novel nerve block technique for nail surgery

Published: November 2023

AbstractIn pediatric patients, nail unit anesthesia is frequently required for procedures including matrixectomy or nail avulsion. However, nail unit anesthesia is very painful and requires a significant amount of time to take complete effect, causing a great deal of distress for most pediatric patients. By targeting the palmar and dorsal digital nerves in the distal part of the fingers, our method enables fast, simple, and less painful anesthesia.
