AbstractAimsThis study aimed to test whether there are sex differences in the relationship between impulsivity and amphetamine use disorder (AMP).DesignA naturalistic cross‐sectional design was used.SettingThe Tulsa 1000 study was held in Tulsa, OK, USA.ParticipantsThere were two groups in this study: AMP+ (29F, 20M) and AMP– (57F, 33M).MeasurementsThis project focuses on data related to impulsivity: UPPS‐P impulsive behavior scale and a stop signal task (SST) during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) recording. Group, sex and their interaction were compared for UPPS‐P ratings and SST fMRI and behavioral responses.FindingsAMP+ reported higher UPPS‐P positive and negative urgency scores (Ps < 0.001; r = 0.56 and 0.51) and displayed greater bilateral insula and amygdala responses across correct SST trials (Ps < 0.001, g range = 0.57–0.81) than AMP–. fMRI results indicated that AMP+ exhibited larger right anterior/middle insula, amygdala and nucleus accumbens signals during successful difficult stop trials than AMP– (Ps < 0.01; g = 0.63, 0.54 and 0.44, respectively). Crucially, two group × sex effects emerged: (a) within females, AMP+ reported larger UPPS‐P lack of premeditation scores than AMP– (P < 0.001, r = 0.51), and (b) within males, AMP+ showed greater left middle insula signals than AMP– across correct SST trials (P = 0.01, g = 0.78).ConclusionsBoth female and male amphetamine users appear to be characterized by rash action in the presence of positive and negative mood states as well as heightened recruitment of right hemisphere regions during behavioral inhibition. In contrast, planning ahead may be particularly difficult for female amphetamine users, whereas male amphetamine users may need to recruit additional left hemisphere resources during inhibitory processing.

AbstractBackgroundCollaborative learning is a widely used approach where students gather in small groups to solve problems and develop skills. However, grouping students is not always effective, and it may be necessary to provide task‐specific collaborative experiences to optimize their interactions for subsequent learning tasks.AimsTo test this hypothesis, we conducted an experiment with 90 Ecuadorian students in their mathematics class.SampleParticipants were 90 Ecuadorian students (average age = 13.80 years, SD = .70; 48.89% female) from a private school in Sangolquí, who participated as part of their mathematics class.MethodThe experiment consisted of four phases: preparation, learning, retention one‐day testing, and delayed seven‐day testing. In the preparation phase, 15 triads received guidance on working collaboratively with quadratic equations (i.e., experienced groups), while 45 other individual learners worked independently. In the learning phase, 15 experienced triads and 45 individual learners (who were later divided into 15 non‐experienced triads) received a new learning task in the domain of economics, precisely the break‐even point.ResultsThe experienced group outperformed the non‐experienced group in the retention one‐day test, investing less mental effort and demonstrating greater efficiency. However, there was no significant difference in the delayed one‐week test. We analysed the interactions of the groups and found that experienced groups exhibited more cognitive, fewer regulatory, an equal number of emotional interactions, and fewer task‐unrelated interactions than the non‐experienced groups.ConclusionsProviding task‐specific collaborative experiences can reduce the cognitive load associated with transactional activities and increase learning in new tasks.

Published: May 2023

AbstractLinear buildups formed in tropical carbonate environments are often interpreted as bioconstructed reefs. Nevertheless, coastal processes can also form extensive sedimentary ridges exhibiting buildup morphologies. This study investigates two Miocene ridges developed along the Australian North West Shelf using 3D seismic and well data.Ridge 1is ca. 30 m thick and >60 km long, and it is made of foraminiferal pack‐grainstones. It protects a lagoon with pinnacle morphologies.Ridge 2is ca. 150 m thick and >80 km long. It is composed of quartz sand forming lobes. Both ridges have a continuous curvilinear front and are in a mid‐shelf setting. They mimic the modern Australian coastline. It is then proposed thatRidge 1is either: (1) a barrier reef developed on a drowned shoreline, or (2) stacked carbonate aeolianites and beachrocks acting as a barrier.Ridge 2is interpreted as stacked deltaic sands. This study demonstrates that lithified and buried coastal features of carbonate and siliciclastic nature can form extensive ridges exhibiting buildup morphologies. It is proposed that ridges formed by stacked coastal features are overall continuous with a curvilinear front, while reefal ridges are more discontinuous and exhibit deeper and more stable passes.

Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundAbutment screw loosening is a common complication of implant supported prostheses, especially for single crowns. In engineering, anaerobic adhesives (AA) are used to provide chemical locking between screw surfaces, but their application in implantology remains unclear.PurposeThe purpose of this article is to evaluate, in vitro, the effect of AA on counter‐torque of abutment screws for cemented prosthesis on dental implants with external hexagon connection (EHC) and conical connection (CC).Materials and methodsSample was composed by 60 specimens, 30 dental implants with EHC and 30 with CC. Abutments (transmucosal 3 mm straight universal abutment) were installed without AA (control group) or with application of AA with two different adhesive strength: medium strength (LOCTITE® 242) and high strength (LOCTITE® 277). The specimens were subjected to mechanical cycling at 37°C, with a load setting of 133 N, a 1.3 Hz frequency, and 1 200 000 cycles. The abutments were removed, and the counter‐torque values were registered. Screws and implants were inspected using a stereomicroscope to verify the presence of residual adhesive and damage the internal structures. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and comparison tests (p < 0.05).ResultsComparing to the torque of installation, the medium strength AA kept the counter‐torque values for CC implants and the high strength AA kept the counter‐torque for EHC implants and increased for CC implants. In the intergroup comparisons, control group presented significantly lower counter‐torque values than other groups, both for EHC and CC implants. High strength AA presented similar results to medium strength AA in the EHC implants, but in the CC implants presented higher counter‐torque values. Damage in threads was more frequent in the groups that received high strength AA.ConclusionThe use of AA increased the counter‐torque of abutment screws, both in implants with EHC and CC.

Published: May 2023

SummaryBackgroundNuclear scintigraphy is commonly used as a diagnostic tool in equine medicine, particularly in the orthopaedic field. However, the scintigraphy protocol varies in the literature.ObjectivesTo gather data on scanning protocols and radiation safety measures commonly employed in equine practice.Study designProspective, descriptive, and questionnaire‐based study.MethodsAn electronic survey was distributed by Medical Imaging Electronic to clinics using an equine scanner scintigraphy unit (n = 150). The survey was designed to document staff experience therewith, operating procedures, and radiation safety practices.ResultsThe response rate was 30% (45/150). Scintigraphy was used as a diagnostic tool in 6.8%–22.2% of the horses that presented for lameness examination. The most commonly used bone tracer was hydroxyethylene diphosphonate (51.1%; 23/45). The vascular and pool phases were rarely (<10% of horses) performed. The whole‐body scintigraphy was performed in 61–90% of the horses in 53.3% (24/45) of the participating clinics. The acquisition time of 90 s per image was commonly used (46.7%, 21/45). Fifty‐five percent of the operators underestimated or did not know the personnel's radiation exposure during the acquisition of bone scintigraphy and 34% of the personnel did not wear radiation protective clothes. Non‐musculoskeletal scintigraphy was never or rarely used in 88.9% of the clinics.Main limitationsThe relatively low response rate may indicate that the reported findings are not fully representative of all equine practices.ConclusionsThis survey provides preliminary data, which may be used to establish a guideline for equine nuclear scintigraphy in the future.

AbstractAimThe identification of biogeographical zones has been fundamental in broadscale biodiversity analyses over the last 150 years. If processes underlying bioregionalization, such as climatic differences, tectonics and physical barriers, are consistent across vertebrate clades, we expect that groups with more similar ecological characteristics would show more similar bioregions. Lack of data has so far hampered the delineation of global bioregions for reptiles. Therefore, we integrated comprehensive geographic distribution and phylogenetic data of lepidosaurian reptiles to delineate global reptile bioregions, compare determinants of biogeographical boundaries across terrestrial vertebrates and test whether clades showing similar responses to environmental factors also show more similar bioregions.LocationGlobal.Time PeriodPresent.Major Taxa StudiedReptiles, amphibians, birds, mammals.MethodsFor reptiles, we used phylogenetic beta diversity to quantify changes in community composition, and hierarchical clustering to identify biogeographic ‘realms’ and ‘regions’. Then, we assessed the determinants of biogeographical boundaries using spatially explicit regression models, testing the effect of climatic factors, physical barriers and tectonics. Bioregions of reptiles were compared to those of other vertebrate clades by testing the overall similarity of the spatial structure of bioregions, and the match of the position of biogeographical boundaries.ResultsFor reptiles, we identified 24 evolutionarily unique regions, nested within 14 realms. Biogeographical boundaries of reptiles were related to both climatic factors and past tectonic movements. Bioregions were very consistent across vertebrate clades. Bioregions of reptiles and mammals showed the highest similarity, followed by reptiles/birds and mammals/birds while amphibian bioregions were less similar to those of the other clades.Main ConclusionsThe overall high similarity among bioregions suggests that bioregionalization was affected by similar underlying processes across terrestrial vertebrates. Nevertheless, clades with different eco‐physiological characteristics respond somewhat differently to the same environmental factors, resulting in similar but not identical regionalizations across vertebrate clades.
STRUCTURAL INTERVENTIONS IN NETWORKS
Authors: Sun Yang , Zhao Wei , Zhou Junjie 
Published: May 2023

AbstractTwo types of interventions are commonly implemented in networks: characteristics interventions, which influence individuals' intrinsic incentives, and structural interventions, which target the social links among individuals. In this article, we provide a general framework to evaluate the distinct equilibrium effects of both types of interventions. We show that any structural intervention is outcome‐equivalent to an endogenously determined characteristics intervention. We present a wide range of applications of our theory, including evaluating a potential new link in a community, identifying the most wanted criminal(s) in delinquent networks, and determining whether a structural intervention improves certain welfare measures.

SummaryMicrowave has been used in food industries to enhance or replace conventional techniques. In Enology, its potential use is not clear since references indicate that can be intended for both inactivation of microorganisms and maceration treatments. In this context, it is important to know the effect of microwaves on microorganisms. This study focuses on the application of microwave (MW) on Saccharomyces and non‐Saccharomyces yeasts and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (from oenological ecosystems) to evaluate their behaviour under different conditions of power, duration and presence of pulses on; viability and vitality were studied. MW affected microorganisms in different ways. In general, yeasts were less resistant than L. plantarum. Counts after treatments showed inactivation in some cases. Nevertheless, ODmax after 96 h presented values closer to the controls. This effect shows that in some cases the treatment exerts an antimicrobial effect after application, but after some time, microorganisms can restore their biological structures and growth, which is reflected in an increase in the lag phase. On a few occasions, treatments were able to improve the kinetic parameters. Thus, this technique could be useful for inactivation, attenuation or even activation of associated food microorganisms.

AbstractProblemThe death of a parent is a traumatic experience for adolescents. Studies to ensure post‐traumatic growth in adolescents are limited. The aim of this study to evaluate the effect of nursing care based on Watson's Theory of Human Caring on posttraumatic growth in parentally bereaved adolescents.MethodsThis study was participatory action research. The study was carried out with four participants through online interviews. In the study, pre‐ and post‐action data were obtained through individual interviews and scales. During the action process, nursing care based on the Theory of Human Caring was provided to the participants individually tracked through the Omaha System. Pre and post‐action qualitative data were analyzed using the descriptive analysis method. In quantitative data, scale total and sub‐scores were documented.FindingsDuring the action, it was determined via Omaha System coding that the participants mostly experienced grief and mental health problems. In the pre‐action, the participants stated that they experienced various difficulties regarding grief. In the post‐action, the participants stated that the meaning of parental loss,its effects on life, and their ability to cope with loss changed and they experienced positive changes. In addition, when the scale scores of the participants' pre‐ and post‐action were compared, it was found that the Mourning Scale scores decreased, and the Post‐traumatic Growth Inventory scores increased.ConclusionsThe result of this study demonstrate that nursing care based on Theory of Human Caring reduces the grief symptoms and contributes to post‐traumatic growth in parentally bereaved adolescents.

AbstractObjectiveThis technique aimed to describe a fully digital workflow to register maxillomandibular relation for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation.Clinical ConsiderationsMandibular kinematics could be reproduced in a four‐dimensional (4D) virtual patient based on the intraoral scan, facial scan, cone beam computed tomography, and jaw motion trajectory, which helped record centric relation and determine a proper occlusal vertical dimension in a virtual environment. The therapeutic position could be exported directly to the dental computer‐aided design software for digital waxing design with a facial scan. The 4D virtual patient was also used to verify the functional and esthetic outcomes of provisional restorations.ConclusionsThis novel approach digitized the process of determination, delivery, and double‐check of maxillomandibular relation, thus contributing to the establishment of a completely digital workflow for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation.Clinical SignificanceRegistration of maxillomandibular relation, including centric relation and occlusal vertical dimension is critical to the success of prosthetic rehabilitation. Traditional procedures are complex and time‐consuming, and heavily rely on the clinical experience of dentists. A fully digital approach to creating a 4D virtual patient and registering the maxillomandibular relation is established, which guides to determine a proper occlusal vertical dimension in centric relation. Digital delivery and double‐check can simplify the conventional procedure and ensure that the determined maxillomandibular relation is reliable.

AbstractWe report the nanoformulation of the active hexagonal‐compact nano‐packed composite system with iron oxide nanoparticles and glossy glutinous chitosan‐tapioca starch biopolymer solution (CTS‐S) for improved potential benefit in food packaging applications. The high pressure processing (HPP) treatment at various pressure level ranging from 100 to 500 MPa at constant time 120 s and optimized the formation of hexagonal nano‐packed system at 500 MPa. The UV–vis spectrophotometer (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), x‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Zeta potential analysis suggested uniform dispersion of iron oxide nanoparticles and formulated an effective stable nano‐packed composite structure. The XRD analysis of HPP treated sample confirmed the enhancement in material properties with high degree of crystallinity nature. Further studies on antimicrobial effects for HPP treated nano‐packed composite solution exhibited an excellent antimicrobial property and examined over a period of 1 month against microbial deterioration. The study revealed that the novel nano‐packed composite solution could be used as an antimicrobial food packaging material.Practical applicationThe research focused to the development of novel formulation of active hexagonal nano‐packed composite system using non‐thermal high pressure pascalization (HPP) technology. For the first time the design of compact nano structural pattern from the composite solution was developed which expresses an anti‐microbial characteristic even after exposed to environmental condition for a month. The experimental results revealed the practical application of formulated nano‐packed composite system with improvement bio‐physical properties and material characteristics has created an interest toward the food‐borne microbial barrier coating material which can be used in food packaging applications as well as promoting longer shelf life of food products with fabrication of nano‐packaging material as a commercial beneficial aspect in food packaging industries.

Authors: Vaitsiakhovich N. , Landes S. D. 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundHistorically, US adults with intellectual disability (ID) experience worse healthcare access than the general population. However, the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) may have reduced disparities in healthcare access.MethodsUsing a pre‐ACA 2011–2013 sample and a post‐ACA implementation 2014–2016 sample from the National Health Interview Survey data, we examined the association between the ACA's introduction and healthcare access among adults with ID (N = 623). Negative binomial regression models were used to test the association between the ACA and the total number of foregone healthcare services. Binary logistic regression was used to explore whether the ACA's implementation was associated with the increased likelihood of possessing health insurance as well as the decreased likelihood of any and particular measures of foregone healthcare services due to cost.ResultsThe study provides evidence that the ACA's implementation was associated with the decreased likelihood of the total number and any foregone care services owing to cost. Findings also revealed that the ACA's implementation was associated with expansion of health insurance coverage and decreasing instances of foregone care services for medical care, dental care, specialist visit and mental care among adults with ID. However, persons with ID were still at a higher risk of foregone prescription medicines, follow‐up medical care and eyeglasses due to cost in the post‐ACA years.ConclusionsThe study provides evidence that healthcare access among Americans with ID improved after the ACA's implementation. However, challenges in access to follow‐up care, eyeglasses and prescription medicines persist and require policy solutions, which extend beyond the ACA's provisions.
