Authors: Dorey Tracey , Haddad Mark , McBain Hayley , Mulligan Kathleen , Zarska Aneta 
Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundPeople with severe mental illness have a heightened risk for type 2 diabetes. They also experience poorer outcomes, including more diabetes complications, more emergency admissions, lower quality of life and excess mortality.AimsThis systematic review aimed to identify health professionals' barriers to and enablers of delivering and organising type 2 diabetes care for people with severe mental illness.MethodsSearches were conducted in Medline, EMBASE, PsycInfo, CINAHL, OVID Nursing, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, OpenGrey, PsycExtra, Health Management Information Consortium and Ethos in March 2019, with updates in September 2019 and January 2023. There were no restrictions on study design, but studies were excluded if they did not include the perspective of health professionals or were not in English. Barriers and/or enablers of type 2 diabetes care for people with a severe mental illness were organised using the theoretical domains framework with additional inductive thematic coding.ResultsTwenty‐eight studies were included in the review. Overall, eight domains were identified as important with barriers and enablers identified at individual, interpersonal and organisational levels.ConclusionsFocussing on providing a collaborative healthcare environment which actively supports type 2 diabetes care, fostering improved communication both between professionals and service users, ensuring clear boundaries around roles and responsibilities as well as individual skill and knowledge support alongside confidence building all offer opportunities to improve type 2 diabetes care.

Published: March 2023

AbstractIntroductionClinical motor skills are essential to train dental students. There is evidence that imagery serves to acquire and improve motor skills, but there is scarce information on its application in dental education. In order to broadly map the available evidence and to detect knowledge gaps in the mental training used to develop motor skills in dentistry, a scoping review was conducted.Materials and MethodsA structured search was conducted to identify relevant references from the Web of Science, Scopus and MEDLINE/PubMed databases for studies addressing mental training methods applied to develop motor skills in dentistry.ResultsA total of 758 articles were screened and four were selected, all of which were randomized clinical trials. Three studies investigated the effectiveness of visual imagery, and one investigated kinesthetic imagery. The research theme identified was motor skill acquisition.ConclusionThe reviewed studies indicate the usefulness of mental training for skill acquisition in dentistry. To improve the generalizability of the results, further research with standardized mental training on motor skills in dentistry is needed.
Tuning the self: Revisiting health inequities through the lens of social interaction
Authors: Jønsson Alexandra Brandt Ryborg , Spalletta Olivia 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIn this article, we examine the subjective experiences of people who, according to their education level and income, belong to the lowest social classes—indicators that are commonly associated with poor health behaviors and poor health status. Drawing on 18 months of fieldwork among white, working‐class people in Denmark, we draw attention to the negative stereotypes connected to health inequities and how people attempt to navigate and mitigate perceived bias. We draw particular attention to the proposed concept of tuning, which we identify as acts intended to mitigate practitioner bias and secure higher esteem and adequate care by differentiating oneself from stereotypes. Ultimately, we aim to contribute to more nuanced conversations on health inequity and how it is conceptualized and acted upon by individuals through the concept of tuning.

Published: March 2023

AbstractAtopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with elevated interleukin (IL)‐4 and IL‐13 signatures and extensive barrier dysfunction, which is correlated with the downregulation of filaggrin (FLG). FLG is a member of the S100 fused‐type protein family and this family also includes cornulin (CRNN), filaggrin‐2 (FLG2), hornerin (HRNR) repetin (RPTN), trichohyalin (TCHH) and trichohyalin‐like 1 (TCHHL1). The present study aimed to examine the effects of IL‐4 and IL‐13 and the downregulation of FLG on the expression of S100 fused‐type proteins using a three‐dimensional (3D) AD skin model by immunohistochemical study and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. In the 3D AD skin model, which was generated by a stimulation of recombinant IL‐4 and IL‐13, the expression of FLG, FLG2, HRNR and TCHH was decreased, while that of RPTN was increased in comparison to the 3D control skin. In the FLG knockdown (KD) 3D skin model, which was generated using FLG siRNA, the expression of HRNR was increased. The expression of the other proteins did not differ to a statistically significant extent. The expression of fused‐S100 type protein family members may differ in AD skin. This suggests that these proteins play different roles in the pathogenesis of AD.
Interactive effects of resource quality and temperature drive differences in detritivory among native and invasive freshwater amphipods
Authors: Fincham William N. W. , Brown Lee E. , Roy Helen E. , Dunn Alison M. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractInvasive non‐native species and climate change are two of the greatest pressures facing freshwater communities; however, how they interact to impact ecosystem function remains poorly understood despite the potential for impacts on key functional behaviours, such as detritivory, which could have wide‐reaching impacts.We quantified the rates of detrital processing and survival of one U.K. native (Gammarus pulex) and two invasive non‐native (Dikerogammarus villosus and Dikerogammarus haemobaphes) freshwater amphipod species, across three temperatures (8°C, 14°C, and 20°C), and three leaf diets of varying resource quality (oak, sycamore, and alder) in laboratory microcosms. We also compared amphipod survival across the different temperature and diet treatments.Rates of detrital processing varied between the native and invasive non‐native amphipod species, with native G. pulex having a faster processing rate than both invasive non‐native species at the lower temperatures. However, as the temperature treatments increased, between‐species differences decreased, while the effects of leaf diets became more apparent. Although the survival probability did not vary with amphipod species, amphipod survival was higher at lower temperatures and in treatments containing higher quality leaf diets.We propose that the invasive non‐native Dikerogammarus species will affect native communities through lower rates of detrital processing; however, this impact may change under predicted climatic warming and be increasingly similar to native amphipod species.

Published: March 2023

AbstractBackgroundIn recent years, the thread‐lifting technique has become widely used in clinical settings. Several thread products are used in clinical practice, and there are many differences between products in terms of many aspects.MethodsSix commercial thread products were collected and evaluated. The general structure, microstructure, elastic modulus, and strength were evaluated using microscopies and tensile testing in vitro. Seventy‐two female rats were divided into six groups. Tissue samples were harvested and histologically evaluated at 1st, 4th, 8th, and 12th week using hematoxylin and eosin and Masson's trichrome staining.ResultsThere were differences between products in terms of barb shape, microstructure, elasticity, and strength, and that could be attributed to the materials and barb structures. All threads showed good biological safety, and the density of collagen area in the dermis was increased compared to that in the control group.ConclusionsThis study provided an objective evaluation of barbed thread products, which indicated that all products can be used safely with certain effects in different indications.
A CHEMTAX‐derived phytoplankton community structure during 12‐year observations in the Gulf of Naples (LTER‐MC)

Published: March 2023

AbstractThe rapid response of phytoplankton communities to environmental changes makes this compartment one of the most important biological variable to consider in dealing with ecology and trophodynamic of coastal areas, especially in relation with ongoing climate changes and increased human pressures. In the last 30 years, the use of chemotaxonomy has improved the capability to detect phytoplankton community composition in terms of chemofunctional groups, especially for small size species requiring specific expertise and techniques, as well as time‐consuming observation with light microscope. In this study, the temporal variability of chemotaxonomic functional groups has been investigated in surface waters of a LTER station in the Gulf of Naples over 12‐year weekly sampling activities (2003–2015). Data reveal increasing trends in the percentage contribution of diatoms, prasinophytes, cryptophytes to the total phytoplankton biomass, while other groups show a decreasing trend. Nevertheless, strong differences in the intervals of periodicity for each chemofunctional group have emerged, both in terms of timescale and strength of periodicity over time, implying that temporal dynamics of groups were not stationary over the time and that they have different relationships with environmental variability. Our results contribute to enrich scientific knowledge on the ecology of this LTER site and underline the importance of chemotaxonomy as a monitoring tool in coastal marine systems.
Microspore‐expressed SCULP1 is required for p‐coumaroylation of sporopollenin, exine integrity, and pollen development in wheat

Summary

Sporopollenin is one of the most structurally sophisticated and chemically recalcitrant biopolymers. In higher plants, sporopollenin is the dominant component of exine, the outer wall of pollen grains, and contains covalently linked phenolics that protect the male gametes from harsh environments. Although much has been learned about the biosynthesis of sporopollenin precursors in the tapetum, the nutritive cell layer surrounding developing microspores, little is known about how the biopolymer is assembled on the microspore surface.

We identified SCULP1 (SKS clade universal in pollen) as a seed plant conserved clade of the multicopper oxidase family. We showed that SCULP1 in common wheat (Triticum aestivum) is specifically expressed in the microspore when sporopollenin assembly takes place, localized to the developing exine, and binds p‐coumaric acid in vitro.

Through genetic, biochemical, and 3D reconstruction analyses, we demonstrated that SCULP1 is required for p‐coumaroylation of sporopollenin, exine integrity, and pollen viability. Moreover, we found that SCULP1 accumulation is compromised in thermosensitive genic male sterile wheat lines and its expression partially restored exine integrity and male fertility.

These findings identified a key microspore protein in autonomous sporopollenin polymer assembly, thereby laying the foundation for elucidating and engineering sporopollenin biosynthesis.
Understanding Monetary Spillovers in Highly Integrated Regions: The Case of Europe*
Authors: Feldkircher Martin , Schuberth Helene 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe analyse why conventional monetary policy tightening in the euro area leads to a deterioration of output in Central‐, East and Southeastern Europe (CESEE). Our findings show that negative spillovers mainly arise through a decline in CESEE imports and exports, induced by a decrease in euro area demand. Negative spillovers are amplified through knock‐on effects through third‐countries and cannot be cushioned by favourable exchange rate movements. We also find evidence for a broad‐based retrenchment of cross‐border bank flows to the region. For the CESEE policymaker, our results indicate a limited power of exchange rate policies to buffer foreign, adverse monetary policy shocks.
The Russian Cusanus: S. L. Frank and the Russian reception of Nicholas of Cusa
Authors: Moore Harry James 
Published: March 2023

AbstractDuring the intense philosophical and theological renaissance of the Russian Silver Age, the German Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa (1401–1464) received a unique appraisal in the work of Semyon Liudwigovich Frank (1877–1950), hailed by some as ‘the greatest Russian philosopher’. This paper will show that five of Frank's central philosophical arguments can be traced directly to Cusa's writings. Once these key arguments are taken together with Frank's own comments about Cusa, it can be concluded that Frank saw himself as Cusa's modern successor, presenting his ideas in a different intellectual context. In this sense, we can speak of Frank as the ‘Russian Cusanus’. The arguments in question include Cusa's docta ignorantia, our knowledge of being, the recognition of absolute being as ‘non‐other’, the identity of possibility and actuality in the absolute, and finally the coincidentia oppositorum.

SUMMARY OF KEY POINTSCOVID‐19 and sleep
The COVID‐19 pandemic is associated with an increase in insomnia and impaired sleep quality
Health care workers are particularly susceptible and improved with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia (CBT‐I)
Long COVID has significant effects on sleep
OSA impacts on the severity of acute COVID‐19 illness
Obstructive sleep apnoea
Large trials of clinically representative patients confirm the cardiovascular benefits of CPAP treatment in OSA

Periodic evaluation of OSA risk in pregnancy is important as timing may be key for intervention to prevent or treat cardiovascular risk factors
Insomnia
Comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnoea (COMISA) can frequently co‐exist and the combined negative effects of both may be deleterious, particularly to cardiovascular health
There is evidence for effectiveness with novel orexin receptor antagonists
How to Use Simplified Reproductive Calendar Data from the Demographic and Health Survey
Authors: Boyle Elizabeth Heger , Rotem Nir , King Miriam L. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractIPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS), through its intuitive website (http://dhs.ipums.org/), eliminate barriers to overtime and cross‐national analyses with the DHS. IPUMS DHS recently released simplified reproductive calendar data. These calendar data are harmonized across samples, distinguish “not in universe” cases from “no” responses, and do not require destringing. Variable names are hot links to important documentation, such as survey‐question text and comparability concerns. Analysts can also select consistently coded variables relating to the woman, her household, and her social and environmental context without merging files.
Targeted estimation of state occupation probabilities for the non‐Markov illness‐death model
Authors: Munch Anders , Breum Marie Skov , Martinussen Torben , Gerds Thomas A. 
Published: March 2023

AbstractWe use semi‐parametric efficiency theory to derive a class of estimators for the state occupation probabilities of the continuous‐time irreversible illness‐death model. We consider both the setting with and without additional baseline information available, where we impose no specific functional form on the intensity functions of the model. We show that any estimator in the class is asymptotically linear under suitable assumptions about the estimators of the intensity functions. In particular, the assumptions are weak enough to allow the use of data‐adaptive methods, which is important for making the identifying assumption of coarsening at random plausible in realistic settings. We suggest a flexible method for estimating the transition intensity functions of the illness‐death model based on penalized Poisson regression. We apply this method to estimate the nuisance parameters of an illness‐death model in a simulation study and a real‐world application.
Metabolic regulation of quiescence in plants
Authors: Considine Michael J. , Foyer Christine H. 
Published: March 2023

SUMMARYQuiescence is a crucial survival attribute in which cell division is repressed in a reversible manner. Although quiescence has long been viewed as an inactive state, recent studies have shown that it is an actively monitored process that is influenced by environmental stimuli. Here, we provide a perspective of the quiescent state and discuss how this process is tuned by energy, nutrient and oxygen status, and the pathways that sense and transmit these signals. We not only highlight the governance of canonical regulators and signalling mechanisms that respond to changes in nutrient and energy status, but also consider the central significance of mitochondrial functions and cues as key regulators of nuclear gene expression. Furthermore, we discuss how reactive oxygen species and the associated redox processes, which are intrinsically linked to energy carbohydrate metabolism, also play a key role in the orchestration of quiescence.
Increased radiographic opacity in the region of the gallbladder can be identified in dogs with large amounts of gallbladder sediment, sludge balls, and gallbladder mucocele

Published: March 2023

AbstractIncreased soft‐tissue opacity in the region of the canine gallbladder is incidentally detected on radiographs. We hypothesized that there is a difference in the detection of gallbladder sediment on radiographs depending on the amount or mobility of the sediment. In this retrospective and analytical study, we aimed to assess the ultrasonographic features of gallbladder sediment that were detected radiographically. We also aimed to assess the differences in the detection of increased opacity of the gallbladder between radiographic views. We included 223 dogs that underwent thoracic radiography, abdominal radiography, and gallbladder ultrasonography. Ultrasonographic images of the gallbladder were divided into five groups: group 1, gravity‐dependent sediment occupying < 50% of the gallbladder; group 2, gravity‐dependent sediment occupying ≥50%; group 3, sediment attached to the gallbladder wall; group 4, sludge ball; and group 5, gallbladder mucocele. Dogs showing increased opacity on subjective assessment of any radiographic view were recorded, and the sensitivity of radiographic views for detecting gallbladder sediment was analyzed. Of 168 dogs with gallbladder sediment, 37 had increased opacity on at least one radiographic projection. The frequency was compared as a percentage within each category, and Group 4 was the highest percentage with increased radiographic gallbladder opacity, followed by Groups 2 and 5. The sensitivity for detecting increased opacity was highest in the thoracic ventrodorsal view. Thus, in dogs with increased gallbladder opacity on radiographs, large amounts of gallbladder sediment, sludge balls, and gallbladder mucocele should be considered differential diagnoses. In addition, the thoracic ventrodorsal view is recommended to evaluate gallbladder opacity.
Designing and calibrating an agent‐based platform to evaluate the effect of climate variables on residential water demand

Published: March 2023

AbstractMany Iranian metropolises, including Shiraz, are situated in arid and semi‐arid regions, lacking sufficient renewable water resources. In recent years, climate changes, including drought and rising temperatures, have led to changes in water supply and demand. Given the necessity and importance of urban water supply, this study investigates the impact of different climate scenarios on residential water demand. Many studies, in their models, do not consider the social interactions between household water consumers and the change in their consumption behaviour, which serves as a fundamental drawback. Thus, the present research attempts to propose an agent‐based framework by modelling social interactions via the diffusion process to investigate water consumption behaviour efficiently. The model is calibrated and applied to Shiraz City in Iran, according to the data from 2006 to 2019, and it is used to simulate each scenario for the following years until 2032. The findings show that temperature has a positive and significant effect on residential water consumption; yet, rainfall negatively affects water consumption. The simulation results of these scenarios for temperature increase or decrease and rainfall changes are estimated. In addition, the developed agent‐based platform can be easily calibrated and adjusted based on the data of any other city to simulate water demand estimation under different climatic and even economic scenarios. Urban water managers can benefit from such estimates to plan future infrastructure development and proactive management of seasonal water resources under the growing pressure of potential climate change because construing the sensitivity of seasonal water consumption to climate conditions is essential to respond to variations in demand.
