Published: April 2023

AbstractThe tradition of stocking whitefish (Coregonus spec.) is widespread throughout Europe and dates back more than a century in some lakes. Despite its broad acceptance as a management action, stocking success is less often studied and might change with shifts in ecosystems. Similar to many other large lakes in Central Europe, Lake Constance is stocked with millions of larvae each year at great cost. The last evaluation of this management practice took place in 2003, and since then several potential impacts on whitefish increased in magnitude (e.g. stickleback invasion, increasing water temperature). Forty‐two million dye‐marked larvae were stocked in 2016 and 36 million in 2018. Recaptures made 1.5 and 3.5 years after stocking revealed that around 20% of the 2016 and 2018 whitefish cohorts consisted of stocked whitefish. This amount is significantly lower than was found in previous experiments. To identify potential factors controlling recruitment, a Beverton‐Holt stock‐recruitment model showed that stocking did not significantly affect year‐class recruitment. We conclude that stocking is no longer cost‐effective, and we recommend that stocking should be reduced in the short term. Furthermore, our results suggest that explanatory variables that previously described recruitment variation of the whitefish population, such as April water temperature, may no longer apply.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this issue paper, the authors refine the definition of water sustainability to account for temporal dynamics and spatial variability, identify specific challenges that must be resolved in the very near future to avoid catastrophic outcomes on levels ranging from economic disruption to survival of mankind, discuss related policy changes and potential effectiveness, and describe several technologies available to achieve water security and sustainability. While water quality certainly poses formidable challenges, in this piece we emphasize and address challenges associated with dynamic water supply availability. Our future as a society will depend upon how well and how rapidly we navigate these challenges in the coming years. As such, the main objective is to encourage private and public sector practitioners to consider revising existing programs, and to update current industry business models in a manner that promotes expedited solutions, alignment of beneficial goals, and motivates the biggest consumers of water to adopt modern data collection and decision support technologies.
Preparation of foamed ceramics from steel slag with high calcium and iron content

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn this paper, steel slag foamed ceramics were fabricated by using steel slag, kaolin, feldspar, and quartz as main raw materials, and adding SiC as high‐temperature foaming agent. The effects of steel slag content and SiC particle size on porosity and mechanical properties of foamed ceramics were researched. Results indicate that when content of steel slag is 40 wt%, and particle size of SiC is 20 µm, foamed ceramics exhibited optimized properties: water absorption rate of 2.59%, total porosity of 55.91%, bulk density of 1.33 g·cm−3, and compressive strength of 1.21 MPa. The results show that with the increase of steel slag content, the phase composition of foamed ceramics changes, and foam process is hindered. The increase of steel slag content contributes to the formation of diopside. Fe3+, Fe2+ in liquid phase enter into diopside by solid solution, the amount of liquid phase decreases. Liquid phase mass transfer slows down, and content of SiC in liquid phase decreases, so that the porosity decreases. At the same steel slag content, different SiC particle size affects the difference between pressure inside the closed pore and surface pressure, thereby the porosity changes.

Published: April 2023

AbstractIn an environment of extreme competition, it is essential to have a differentiated brand that adds value to consumer communications through packaging. Neuroscience research techniques have undergone remarkable development, facilitating the understanding of consumer brain mechanisms in the choice and purchase decision‐making process. This article presents the first systematic and specific literature review of the branding and packaging from the consumer neuroscience viewpoint. The main objective is to carry out analysis focused on the study of packaging and branding from the field of consumer neuroscience. We used a hybrid methodology. First, a descriptive bibliometric study is applied based on the Web of Science platform, where results confirm that the study field is in a phase of an exponential growth and with high fragmentation of the literature, consistent with its multidisciplinary origin. Using data mining for nodal network analysis with the VOSviewer programme, four clusters of authors and five thematic areas of interest were identified. Finally, a content review provided a list of more than 50 relevant findings in the study field, which are presented through a novel classification approach based on key mental processes in branding and packaging research (attention and memory, emotions and motivation, and reward and decision‐making systems). Thus, it has been possible to classify, order and discuss them, facilitating a comparative analysis and suggesting a possible future research agenda. This research intents to be a guide for branding and packaging professionals and researchers who are interested in learning about the use of consumer neuroscience techniques and theories.
A dynamic theory of the area of distribution
Authors: Soberón Jorge , Osorio‐Olvera Luis 
Published: April 2023

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study is to propose and analyse a general, dynamic, process‐oriented theory of the area of distribution.LocationMexico, Southern United States and the Caribbean.TaxonPierid butterflies.MethodsThe area of distribution is modelled by combining (by multiplication) three matrices: one matrix represents movements, another niche tolerances and a third, biotic interactions. Results are derived from general properties of this product and from simulation of a cellular automaton defined in terms of the matrix operations. Everything is implemented practically in an R package.ResultsResults are obtained by simulation and mathematical analysis. We show that the mid‐domain effect is a direct consequence of dispersal; that to include movements to Ecological Niche Modelling significantly affect results, but cannot be done without choosing an ancestral area of distribution. We discuss ways of estimating such ancestral areas. We show that, in our approach, movements and niche effects are mixed in ways almost impossible to disentangle, and show this is a consequence of the singularity of a matrix. We introduce a tool (the Connectivity‐Suitability‐Dispersal plot) to extend the results of simple niche modelling to understand the effects of dispersal.Main conclusionsThe conceptually straightforward scheme we present for the area of distribution integrates, in a mathematically sound and computationally feasible way, several key ideas in biogeography: the geographic and environmental matrix, the Grinnellian niche, dispersal capacity and the ancestral area of origin of groups of species. We show that although full simulations are indispensable to obtain the dynamics of an area of distribution, interesting results can be derived simply by analysing the matrices representing the dynamics.

Published: April 2023

AbstractThe maintenance of diminished acid ceramidase (ASAH1) gene expression leading to the accumulation of antiproliferative intracellular ceramides in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has emerged as a prospective oral cancer therapeutic regimen. Our published study demonstrated that the key periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis downregulates the expression patterns of ASAH1 mRNA in normal epithelial cells in vitro. Therefore, P. gingivalis may also beneficially diminish the expression of ASAH1 in OSCC. Because a uniquely structured P. gingivalis‐derived phosphoethanolamine dihydroceramide (PEDHC) inhibits the proliferation of normal human fibroblasts, this study aimed to test the effect of PEDHC on the survival of human oral squamous OECM‐1 cells in vitro. We demonstrated that the P. gingivalis dihydroceramide‐null (ΔPG1780) strain upregulates the expression of ASAH1 mRNA and promotes aggressive proliferation and migration of OECM‐1 cells compared to the parent P. gingivalis‐W83 strain. In addition, the intracellular concentration of ceramides was dramatically elevated in OECM‐1 cells exposed to PEDHC in vitro. Furthermore, PEDHC inhibited expression patterns of ASAH1 mRNA as well as some genes associated with degradation of the basement membranes and extracellular matrix, for example, MMP‐2, ADAM‐17 and IL‐6, in OECM‐1 cells. Altogether, these data indicated that PEDHC produced by P. gingivalis inhibits acid ceramidase expression, promotes intracellular ceramide accumulation and suppresses the survival and migration of OSCC cells in vitro. Further studies are needed to determine molecular mechanisms of PEDHC‐mediated inhibitory effect(s) on OSCC using in vivo models of oral cancer.

AbstractIntroductionThe proliferation of providers and practitioners of cosmetic botulinum toxin and dermal filler has profound public health implications. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) regulates the use of advertising materials in the United Kingdom and prohibits the promotion of prescription‐only medicines.AimsWe aim to perform a cross‐sectional analysis of the practitioners in London, UK to evaluate the distribution of clinics within Greater London, prices advertised for interventions, and compliance with the ASA code. We also aim to identify whether there are any differences in cost of botulinum toxin or dermal filler between the boroughs.MethodsBetween December 2021 and January 2022, we performed a systematic search using the internet search engine Google. Five searches were performed (1) [london] botox, (2) [london] botulinum toxin, (3) [london] anti wrinkle injection, (4) [london] filler, (5) [london] dermal filler. One hundred websites per search string were systematically reviewed and those which met the inclusion/exclusion criteria of each search string were included and analyzed. Each clinic's product/service range compliance with the ASA/CAP code was assessed. Any reference to Botulinum Toxin or anti‐wrinkle injections was noted and analyzed. Further analysis would look to calculate price per milliliter (mL) of botulinum toxin and dermal filler per borough and to calculate whether there were any statistical differences between the 32 different London boroughs.ResultsA total of 500 websites were visited and evaluated. After removal of duplicates, a total of 233 independent clinics was identified. A total of 206 out of the 233 clinics sampled (88%) were in direct infringement of the enforcement notice through advertising a prescription medicine. The overall average cost per mL of dermal filler was £330.89 and there was a statistically significant variance across London boroughs (p < 0.05). The overall average cost per mL of Botulinum Toxin was £284.45 and the variance across London boroughs was close to significant (p = 0.058).ConclusionThis paper demonstrates poor compliance with the ASA/CAP guidelines and further provides an insight into the industry mechanics associated with aesthetic injectables in a major UK city, identifying regional variance in price and clinic density. The advertising of prescription‐only medication may pose a potential risk to patients and will be an important consideration in proposed legislation to introduce licensing to the industry.
Evidence for multiple early impacts on the H chondrite parent body from electron backscatter diffraction analysis
Authors: Goudy Secana P. , Telus Myriam , Chapman Brendan 
Published: April 2023

AbstractWe examined H4 chondrites Beaver Creek, Forest Vale, Quenggouk, Ste. Marguerite, and Sena with the electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) techniques of Ruzicka and Hugo (2018) to determine if there is evidence for shock metamorphism consistent with the previously inferred histories of their early impact excavation or lack thereof. We find that all samples have EBSD data consistent with a history of synmetamorphic impact shock (i.e., shock during thermal metamorphism), followed by postshock annealing. Petrographic analysis of Sena, Quenggouk, and Ste. Marguerite found exsolved Cu and irregular troilite within Fe metal, features consistent with shock metamorphism. All samples have a spatial variability in grain deformation consistent with shock processes, though Forest Vale, Quenggouk, and Ste. Marguerite may have relict signatures of accretional deformation as indicated by variability in their olivine deformation metrics. Within the context of previous workers' geochemical observations, a more complex history is inferred for each sample. The “slow‐cooled” samples, Quenggouk and Sena, were subject to synmetamorphic shock without excavation and annealed at depth. The same is true of the “fast‐cooled” samples, Beaver Creek, Forest Vale, and Ste. Marguerite. However, after annealing, these rocks were excavated by a secondary impact or impacts around 5.2–6.5 Ma post‐CAI formation and were left to cool rapidly on the surface of the H chondrite parent body. These interpreted histories are best compatible with a model of an impact‐battered but intact onion shell for the earliest history of the H parent body. However, the EBSD evidence does not preclude a parent body disruption after 7 Ma post‐CAI formation.
China beyond China, establishing a digital order with Chinese characteristics: China's growing discursive power and the Digital Silk Road
Authors: Chang Yung‐Yung 
Published: April 2023

AbstractThis article examines China's discursive power, placing it in the broader context of China's increasing assertiveness in the global arena. I argue that exporting the China model farther afield is the key for China to exert its discursive power. The mechanism to do this lies in two essential and decisive auxiliaries that “flank” China's soft discursive power: technological development/innovation and the role of the Chinese private sector. Theoretically, the study adopts a tripartite framework to examine China's discursive power: power facts, shared rules, and social practices, with the help of the “affective sticking points” to analyze China's Belt and Road Initiative and Digital Silk Road discourses. Empirically, the article investigates the case of Transsion Holdings, a Chinese giant smart‐device maker in Africa, to study China's discursive influences in Africa. To conclude, I reflect on the role of the private sector and the meaning of “China beyond China.”Related ArticlesDuggan, Niall. 2020. “China—The Champion of the Developing World: A Study of China's New Development Model and its Role in Changing Global Economic Governance.” Politics & Policy 48(5): 836–58. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12377.Fong, Ware, and Nazmus Sakib. 2021. “A ‘Good’ Country without Democracy: Can China's Outward FDI Buy a Positive State Image Overseas?” Politics & Policy 49(5): 1146–91. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12428.Zeng, Jinghan, Tim Stevens, and Yaru Chen. 2017. “China's Solution to Global Cyber Governance: Unpacking the Domestic Discourse of ‘Internet Sovereignty.” Politics & Policy 45(3): 432–64. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12202.
Complications and treatment errors in peri‐implant hard tissue management
Authors: Urban Istvan , Sanz‐Sánchez Ignacio , Monje Alberto , Montero Eduardo 
Published: April 2023

AbstractBone augmentation procedures aim to regenerate the deficient alveolar ridge to properly place dental implants that are completely surrounded by bone. However, these are invasive and technically demanding surgeries that are not free of either complications or treatment errors. Careful patient selection and preparation is a mandatory process to reduce the rate of complications in bone regeneration procedures, irrespective of the technique used. It is important to assess the cost benefit of the intervention and to evaluate the potential impact on the patient's quality of life, especially in the elderly and medically compromised patients. Most common postoperative complications are wound dehiscences, which may be reduced, at least partially, by proper knowledge of the surgical technique and the craniofacial anatomy. Other complications that may appear are postoperative infections or nerve injuries. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the best available scientific evidence on the incidence of complications, as well as the ideal strategies for their prevention and management. Depending on the severity of the complication, treatment approaches may vary and can include drug prescription or even surgical re‐entries to remove exposed barrier membranes or contaminated bone grafts. Adequate prevention and proper management of complications associated with bone augmentation interventions are a requirement for clinicians carrying out these demanding procedures. A series of cases illustrating proper management of complications in different clinical scenarios is presented.

AbstractMeasurement of body core temperature (Tcore) is paramount to determining the thermoregulatory strain of athletes. However, standard measurement procedures of Tcore are not practical for extended use outside the laboratory environment. Therefore, determining the factors that predict Tcore during a self‐paced run is crucial for creating more effective strategies to minimize the heat‐induced impairment of endurance performance and reduce the occurrence of exertional heatstroke. The aim of this study was to identify the factors predicting Tcore values attained at the end of a 10 km time trial (end‐Tcore) under environmental heat stress. Initially, we extracted data obtained from 75 recordings of recreationally trained men and women. Next, we ran hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses to understand the predictive power of the following variables: wet‐bulb globe temperature, average running speed, initial Tcore, body mass, differences between Tcore and skin temperature (Tskin), sweat rate, maximal oxygen uptake, heart rate and change in body mass. Our data indicated that Tcore increased continuously during exercise, attaining 39.6 ± 0.5°C (mean ± SD) after 53.9 ± 7.5 min of treadmill running. This end‐Tcore value was primarily predicted by heart rate, sweat rate, differences between Tcore and Tskin, wet‐bulb globe temperature, initial Tcore, running speed and maximal oxygen uptake, in this order of importance (β power values corresponded to 0.462, −0.395, 0.393, 0.327, 0.277, 0.244 and 0.228, respectively). In conclusion, several factors predict Tcore in athletes subjected to self‐paced running under environmental heat stress. Moreover, considering the conditions investigated, heart rate and sweat rate, two practical (non‐invasive) variables, have the highest predictive power.

Published: April 2023

Abstract
This study employs a high-fidelity numerical framework to determine the plastic material flow patterns and temperature distributions that lead to void formation during friction stir welding (FSW), and to relate the void morphologies to the underlying alloy material properties and process conditions. Three aluminum alloys, viz., 6061-T6, 7075-T6, and 5053-H18, were investigated under varying traverse speeds. The choice of aluminum alloys enables the investigation of a wide range of thermal and mechanical properties. The numerical simulations were validated using experimental observations of void morphologies in these three alloys. Temperatures, plastic strain rates, and material flow patterns are considered. The key results from this study are as follows: (1) the predicted stir zone and void morphology are in good agreement with the experimental observations, (2) the temperature and plastic strain rate maps in the steady-state process conditions show a strong dependency on the alloy type and traverse speeds, (3) the material velocity contours provide a good insight into the material flow in the stir zone for the FSW process conditions that result in voids as well as those that do not result in voids. The numerical model and the ensuing parametric studies presented in this study provide a framework for understanding material flow under different process conditions in aluminum alloys and potentially in other alloys. Furthermore, the utility of the numerical model for making quantitative predictions and investigating different process parameters to reduce void formation is demonstrated.
