Published: February 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo examine the principal place of practice after graduation of students who participated in the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training (RHMT) program and allied health students' place of origin.DesignCross‐sectional study.ParticipantsGraduates who completed their degree in podiatry, occupational therapy and physiotherapy in 2019.Main Outcome MeasuresPrincipal place of practice at first and third years after graduation.ResultsIn 2020, 40 allied health professionals (AHPs) who graduated from the University of South Australia in 2019 were practising in rural areas but only 26 of them remained in the rural practice in 2022. The retention rate for rural practice was 65% within 2 years. However, in 2022, 25 allied health professionals left their metropolitan employment location and transitioned to rural practice. Of the 25 allied health graduates who joined the rural practice in 2022, most of them (80%, 20/25) had either rural exposure through the RMHT program or were from rural origin.ConclusionsRural exposure via the RHMT program and allied health students' rural place of origin have an important role for rural principal place of practice at first and third years after graduation.

AbstractToxic metal or element exposure has the potential to cause significant negative health effects in human populations. During the goldrushes of the colonial period, mercury amalgamation was one of the most common methods of extracting gold from alluvial deposits or crushed ore, and exposure to mercury was an occupational health hazard. In this study we examine mercury exposure in mining populations from New Zealand’s first major goldrush, which began in Central Otago in 1861. We explore mercury toxicity through laser ablation inductively coupled mass spectrometric analysis of archaeological hair and sediment samples associated with the Tuapeka goldfields. Our analysis highlights ubiquitous low‐level mercury exposure on the goldfields, as well as one individual with such high mercury concentrations in their hair that we suspect direct mercury intake, perhaps medicinally, rather than from environmental contamination.
Perceived parental social support and psychological control predict depressive symptoms for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning youth in the United States
Authors: McCurdy Amy L. , Russell Stephen T. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractSalient practices in the parenting literature—support and control—have seldom been applied to understanding lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning (LGBTQ) youth mental health. We examine associations among perceived parental social support, psychological control, and depressive symptoms for LGBTQ youth in the United States (n = 536; Mage = 18.98; 48.1% women; 25.2% Black or African American; 37.1% Hispanic or Latino/a/x). Data were collected in 2011–2012. Results indicated joint effects of social support and psychological control predicting youth depressive symptoms. Multiple group analysis yielded a significant interaction of parenting practices for youth whose parent(s) did not know their LGBTQ identity. Findings support further consideration of parental support and control in relation to LGBTQ youth well‐being.

AbstractAimThis cohort study aimed to describe functional mobility in Dravet syndrome, a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy.MethodFunctional mobility was assessed in individuals (aged 3–25 years), diagnosed with Dravet syndrome, using the Functional Mobility Scale (FMS), Mobility Questionnaire 28 (MobQues28), and estimated walking distance. Secondary outcome variables were Gait Profile Score (GPS), walking velocity, age at independent walking, intellectual disability, seizure frequency, genetic variant type, and body mass index (BMI).ResultsForty participants aged 3 years to 24 years 2 months (mean = 12 years 2 months) had a median MobQues28 of 79%, median scores of 5, 5, and 4 for the FMS 5 m, 50 m, and 500 m and a median estimated walking distance of 1 km to 3 km. Most difficulties were seen in walking up and down the stairs, walking over obstacles, kicking a ball, and running. MobQues28 scores showed a significant decrease (−6.6%, p = 0.016) in the age category of young adults (≥18 years). After correcting for age, MobQues28 was correlated to age at independent walking (−0.485, p = 0.002), GPS (−0.460, p = 0.003), and walking velocity (0.334, p = 0.038). Analysis of variance showed a significant effect of intellectual disability and BMI on MobQues28 (p = 0.029, p = 0.049). No effect of seizure frequency or genetic variant was found (p = 0.579, p = 0.337).InterpretationFunctional mobility limitations were observed mainly in dual tasks and activities requiring stability, with limitations increasing from the age of 18 years. Age at independent walking, gait impairments, intellectual disability, and BMI can impact functional mobility in Dravet syndrome.What this paper adds

Most limitations were seen in dual task activities and activities that required more stability.
Deterioration in functional mobility occurred in young adults.
The more gait impairments, the more functional mobility limitations.
Age at independent walking, intellectual disability, and body mass index can impact functional mobility.
The fitness value of ecological information in a variable world
Authors: Usinowicz Jacob , O'Connor Mary I. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractInformation processing is increasingly recognized as a fundamental component of life in variable environments, including the evolved use of environmental cues, biomolecular networks, and social learning. Despite this, ecology lacks a quantitative framework for understanding how population, community, and ecosystem dynamics depend on information processing. Here, we review the rationale and evidence for ‘fitness value of information’ (FVOI), and synthesize theoretical work in ecology, information theory, and probability behind this general mathematical framework. The FVOI quantifies how species' per capita population growth rates can depend on the use of information in their environment. FVOI is a breakthrough approach to linking information processing and ecological and evolutionary outcomes in a changing environment, addressing longstanding questions about how information mediates the effects of environmental change and species interactions.
Effect of irinotecan administration on amiloride‐sensitive sodium taste responses in mice

Published: February 2023

AbstractTaste alteration is a frequently reported side effect in patients receiving the chemotherapeutic agent, irinotecan. However, the way in which irinotecan causes taste disturbance and the type of taste impairment that is affected remain elusive. Here, we used the two‐bottle preference test to characterize behavioral taste responses and employed immunohistochemical analyses to clarify the types and mechanisms of taste alteration induced, in mice, by irinotecan administration. Irinotecan administration resulted in a reduced intake of sodium taste solution but had no effect on sweet taste responses, as determined in the two‐bottle preference test. In the presence of amiloride, which inhibits the function of the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) in the periphery, the intake of sodium taste solution was comparable between the irinotecan‐treated and control groups. Immunohistochemical analyses revealed that α‐ENaC immunoreactivity detected in taste bud cells decreased slowly after irinotecan administration, and that administration of irinotecan had little effect on the number of cells expressing the cellular proliferation marker, Ki67, within or around taste buds. Our results imply that irinotecan administration may be responsible for altered behavioral sodium taste responses originating from ENaC function in the periphery, while being accompanied by the reduction of α‐ENaC expression at the apical membrane of taste receptor cells without disturbing taste cell renewal.
Mineralogical characterization of biosilicas versus geological analogs
Authors: Farfan Gabriela A. , McKeown David A. , Post Jeffrey E. 
Published: February 2023

AbstractNon‐crystalline silica mineraloids are essential to life on Earth as they provide architectural structure to dominant primary producers, such as plants and phytoplankton, as well as to protists and sponges. Due to the difficulty in characterizing and quantifying the structure of highly disordered X‐ray amorphous silica, relatively little has been done to understand the mineralogy of biogenic silica and how this may impact the material properties of biogenic silica, such as hardness and strength, or how biosilica might be identified and differentiated from its inorganic geological counterparts. Typically, geologically formed opal‐A and hyalite opal‐AN are regarded as analogs to biogenic silica, however, some spectroscopic and imaging studies suggest that this might not be a reasonable assumption. In this study, we use a variety of techniques (X‐ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy) to compare differences in structural disorder and bonding environments of geologically formed hydrous silicas (Opal‐A, hyalite, geyserite) and silica glass versus biogenic silicas from an array of organisms. Our results indicate differences in the levels of structural disorder and the Raman‐observed bonding environments of the SiO2 network modes (D1 mode) and the Q‐species modes (~1015 cm−1) between varieties of biogenic silicas and geologically formed silicas, which aligns with previous studies that suggest fundamental differences between biogenic and geologically formed silica. Biosilicas also differ structurally from one another by species of organism. Our mineralogical approach to characterizing biosilicas and differentiating them from other silicas may be expanded to future diagenesis studies, and potentially applied to astrobiology studies of Earth and other planets.

AbstractObservational studies play a critical role in evaluating the prevalence and incidence of conditions or diseases in populations as well as in defining the benefits and potential hazards of health‐related interventions. There are currently no reporting guidelines for observational studies in the field of Endodontics. The Preferred Reporting Items for study Designs in Endodontology (PRIDE) team has developed and published new reporting guidelines for observational‐based studies called the ‘Preferred Reporting items for OBservational studies in Endodontics (PROBE) 2023’ guidelines. The PROBE 2023 guidelines were developed exclusively for the speciality of Endodontics by integrating and adapting the ‘STrengthening the Reporting of OBservational studies in Epidemiology (STROBE)’ checklist and the ‘Clinical and Laboratory Images in Publications (CLIP)’ principles. The recommendations of the Guidance for Developers of Health Research Reporting Guidelines were adhered to throughout the process of developing the guidelines. The purpose of this document is to serve as a guide for authors by providing an explanation for each of the items in the PROBE 2023 checklist along with relevant examples from the literature. The document also offers advice to authors on how they can address each item in their manuscript before submission to a journal. The PROBE 2023 checklist is freely accessible and downloadable from the PRIDE website (http://pride‐endodonticguidelines.org/probe/).

SummaryEurya honey (EH) is produced from the nectar of Eurya. In this paper, the physicochemical properties (moisture, free acidity, pH, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural, conductivity, sugar, and colour) of EH were systematically studied for the first time. The total phenols and flavonoids were determined by spectrophotometry, and the contents were 40.29 ± 4.17 mg GAE/100 g and 12.44 ± 0.62 mg RE/100 g, respectively. A total of 232 compounds were identified, and 30 of them were quantified by ultra‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole/time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (UPLC‐Q/TOF‐MS). The potential markers of EH were abscisic acid (21.3–103.4 μg/100 g), gallic acid (6.9–220.2 μg/100 g), tricoumaroyl spermidine (284.2–518.1 μg/100 g), and kaempferol (15.0–258.7 μg/100 g). EH showed antioxidant capacities in DPPH free radical‐scavenging activity (IC50: 42.87–131.26 mg mL−1), ferric reducing antioxidant capacity (23.22–112.24 μmol FeSO4·7H2O/100 g), and ABTS radical‐scavenging activity assays (9.51–31.21 μmol Trolox/100 g).
The role of silanol groups on the reaction of SiO2 and anhydrous hydrogen fluoride gas

Published: February 2023

AbstractIt is essential to etch SiO2 for producing silica glass components, semiconductor devices, and so on. Although wet‐etching with hydrogen fluoride (HF) solutions is usually employed for this purpose, it faces a drawback that microstructures stick during the drying of the solution. To overcome this problem, we have developed a dry‐etching technique with gaseous HF at high temperatures. In the present study, an interesting phenomenon was found that silicon thermal oxides were much less etched than vitreous silica by gaseous HF. Such difference had not been found in wet‐ or humid HF gas etching. Because their bulk chemical formulae are the same (SiO2), it was suggested that the surface species affected the reaction rate. In fact, preprocessing with water vapor plasma remarkably increased the etching rate on the thermal oxides layer, and vacuum heating almost completely suppressed the reaction on the vitreous silica and the plasma‐treated thermal oxides. These results indicate that the surface silanol groups enhance the reaction between SiO2 and gaseous HF. Based on the results, a model of chain reaction for SiO2 and gaseous HF was proposed, where the surface silanol groups act as the reaction center.
The European Parliament's Political Leadership: The Case Study of EU Foreign Policy towards Turkey
Authors: Baracani Elena , Santini Lorenzo 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis article presents an empirical analysis of how the European Parliament's eighth legislature mobilised to shape European Union (EU) foreign policy towards Turkey during the refugee crisis. On a conceptual and methodological level, we propose an analytical framework based on the mechanism of political leadership to trace the EP's role in two specific areas of EU foreign policy towards Turkey: enlargement and cooperation on migration. We argue that EP foreign policy resources allow it to play a political leadership role in this policy domain. Empirically, the analysis feeds into the claim of New Institutional Leadership since it reveals that the informal governance at the time of the refugee crisis favoured the mobilisation of the EP, mainly to protect its institutional prerogatives. The analysis also shows that the EP adopted a contradictory approach to EU foreign policy towards Turkey that affected the Parliament's reputation as the guardian of EU values.

AbstractIn the past decade, the plant‐based meat alternative industry has grown rapidly due to consumers' demand for environmental‐friendly, nutritious, sustainable and humane choices. Consumers are not only concerned about the positive relationship between food consumption and health, they are also keen on the environmental sustainability. With such increased consumers' demand for meat alternatives, there is an urgent need for identification and modification of protein sources to imitate the functionality, textural, organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of traditional meat products. However, the plant proteins are not readily digestible and require more functionalization and modification are required. Proteins has to be modified to achieve high quality attributes such as solubility, gelling, emulsifying and foaming properties to make them more palatable and digestible. The protein source from the plant source in order to achieve the claims which needs more high protein digestibility and amino acid bioavailability. In order to achieve these newer emerging non‐thermal technologies which can operate under mild temperature conditions can reach a balance between feasibility and reduced environmental impact maintaining the nutritional attributes and functional attributes of the proteins. This review article has discussed the mechanism of protein modification and advancements in the application of non‐thermal technologies such as high pressure processing and pulsed electric field and emerging oxidation technologies (ultrasound, cold plasma, and ozone) on the structural modification of plant‐based meat alternatives to improve, the techno‐functional properties and palatability for successful food product development applications.

AbstractThe understanding of the relationship between orofacial structures and feeding habits in preschoolers is helpful for health professionals and those dedicated to food science. The hypothesis tested was whether this relationship is already present even at a very young age. This cross‐sectional study included 91 healthy caries‐free children (50 girls/41 boys; 3.4–6.2 years; mean 4.1 years) and a comprehensive evaluation of the stomatognathic system was performed: dietary intake, facial and occlusal morphology, gustatory sensitivity, bite and lip forces, and orofacial myofunctional aspects (mastication, swallowing and breathing functions). Principal component analysis summarized the variables related to the form and function of the orofacial aspects; further, K‐means analysis identified two clusters of participants with similar aspects. Cluster 1 (“Low orofacial myofunctional functioning”; n = 51) was characterized by children who showed the worst performance of mastication, swallowing and breathing functions and whose parents reported the consumption of sweets, cookies, chocolate, but not fresh fruits the day before, in addition to the higher bottle‐feeding and pacifier use duration. This cluster also showed higher sweet taste threshold. Cluster 2 (“High orofacial myofunctional functioning”; n = 40) showed lower bottle‐feeding and pacifier use duration, higher gustatory sensitivity, greater maxillo‐mandibular dimensions, and better orofacial function performance. The variables sex and BMI did not associate to clusters profile. The frequencies of open bite and current sucking habit (pacifier) also differed between clusters. The results showed that an association between form and function of the structures that comprise the stomatognathic system and dietary intake is already present in children with primary dentition.

AbstractBackgroundThe association of gut microbiota with cancer etiology and prognosis has been demonstrated in humans and rodents but has not been studied in dogs with different types of tumors.Hypothesis/ObjectivesTo analyze microbiome composition according to tumor progression based on metastasis, recurrence, and therapeutic response in canine tumors.AnimalsThirty‐two client‐owned dogs were divided into 3 groups: healthy (n = 9), with lymphoma (n = 12), with nonlymphoid tumors (n = 11).MethodsRetrospective case series included animals were divided into subgroups according to the nature and severity of their tumors. Feces were screened for the 16S rRNA gene.ResultsOverall, alpha diversity was significantly reduced in dogs with tumors (n = 23; 12 lymphoid and 11 nonlymphoid) compared to healthy dogs (n = 9). Bacteroides had lower abundance in canine tumors at genus level. Staphylococcus showed significantly reduced abundance in dogs with aggressive tumor progression. Higher white blood cell (WBC) and neutrophil counts and lower hematocrit were significant in dogs with aggressive tumor. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient analysis revealed several measurements that showed moderate to strong correlations, including Coprococcus with total WBC count, neutrophil count, and hematocrit in the aggressive tumor group, and Saccharimonas with serum albumin and sodium concentration in all tumor dogs.Conclusion and Clinical ImportanceThe diversity of the gut microbiome was significantly reduced in dogs with tumors compared to healthy dogs. Correlations were found between changes in blood measurements and changes in microbiome composition in relation to paraneoplastic syndrome.
Parallels for cetacean trap feeding and tread‐water feeding in the historical record across two millennia
Authors: McCarthy John , Sebo Erin , Firth Matthew 
Published: February 2023

AbstractTrap feeding and tread‐water feeding are cetacean hunting strategies first recorded in the 2000s in two whale species at opposite sides of the globe. In both behaviors, whales sit motionless at the surface with their mouths open. Fish are attracted into the whale's mouth and are trapped when the jaw is closed. We identify striking parallels with the behavior of a sea creature named hafgufa in Old Norse sources. The hafgufa tradition can be traced back to the aspidochelone, a type of whale frequently described in medieval bestiaries, first appearing in the Physiologus, a 2nd century CE Alexandrian manuscript.
