ABSTRACTBackgroundTear trough deformities are indicative of aging, progressively manifesting as pronounced infraorbital hollows. Although hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are favored for their safety and efficacy, quantifiable evidence of their effect of action still remains insufficient.AimsTo investigate the efficacy of non‐cross‐linked HA compound in tear trough enhancement.MethodsTwenty‐one subjects with moderate to severe infraorbital hollows underwent a single treatment including subcutaneous to supraperiosteal injections of a non‐cross‐linked HA compound. The effectiveness was assessed through Allergan Infraorbital Hollows Scale (AIHS), satisfaction rates, the Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (GAIS), and quantitative analyses via Canfield VECTRA 3D imaging and MRI measurements during the 6‐month follow‐up.ResultsA total of 0.67 ± 0.31 and 0.77 ± 0.42 mL of the non‐cross‐linked HA compound were injected into the left and right suborbital regions, respectively. Substantial improvements in AIHS were observed in 85.71% and 80.95% of subjects at 6 months posttreatment, as assessed by blinded evaluators and treating investigators, respectively. 3D imaging showed volume increases of 0.87 ± 0.32 (left) and 0.99 ± 0.45 mL (right). MRI analysis provided closely aligned results to the 3D analysis. The GAIS and satisfaction rate were 85.71%, 90.48% for treating investigators and were 90.48% and 95.24% for subjects 6 months posttreatment.ConclusionsThe non‐cross‐linked HA filler demonstrated a safe and efficacious profile for the correction of infraorbital hollows with significant patient satisfaction and sustained outcomes up to 6 months posttreatment. These results support their clinical value in periorbital rejuvenation and reduction of infraorbital hollowing.

AbstractPurposeThis randomized clinical trial compared 12‐month outcomes of narrow platform implants (NP) or regular platform implants (RP) in beds prepared with conventional versus ultrasonic osteotomy and immediately loaded.Materials and MethodsPatients requiring narrow (3.0 mm) or regular (3.75 mm) implants in the upper esthetic zone were randomly allocated for conventional (10 NP, 15 RP implants) or ultrasonic (10 NP, 15 RP) osteotomy. Primary and secondary implant stability, operation time, patient discomfort, and probing depths were evaluated after different time periods.ResultsImplant bed preparation time was longer (p < 0.001) with ultrasonic osteotomy versus conventional drilling (CD) in both RP and NP groups. Post‐operative pain was lesser with ultrasonic preparation on postsurgical days 1 (p = 0.022) and 7 (p < 0.001) in the RP group and days 1, 4, and 7 (p = 0.015, p = 0.019, p = 0.003) in the NP group. Secondary stability at 3 months was higher in the NP group with ultrasonic preparation versus CD (p = 0.002). No significant differences in probing depth were found between 3 and 12 months in either group with either technique. The 12‐month success rate was 100% in both groups with both preparations.ConclusionsRegular diameter implants in beds prepared by ultrasonic osteotomy have comparable primary and secondary stability to those in beds prepared by conventional osteotomy and can be immediately loaded, showing a similar 12‐month success rate. Narrow diameter implants placed in beds prepared by ultrasonic osteotomy have comparable primary stability values to those in conventionally prepared beds, but implant stability quotient values were always insufficient for immediate loading.
A Jump‐Driven Self‐Exciting Stochastic Fish Migration Model and Its Fisheries Applications
Authors: Yoshioka Hidekazu , Yamazaki Kazutoshi 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWe introduce a stochastic continuous‐time model via a self‐exciting process with jumps to describe a seasonal migration event of diadromous fish exemplified by Ayu Plecoglossus altivelis altivelis. The dynamics of the stored population at a point in a river, waiting for their upward migration, increases by the inflow of fish from the downstream/ocean and decreases by their outflow due to their upstream migration. The inflow is assumed to occur at a constant rate until an Erlang‐distributed termination time. The outflow is modeled by a self‐exciting jump process to incorporate the flocking and social interactions in fish migration. Harvested cases under barrier‐ and threshold‐type strategies are also studied for fisheries applications. We derive the backward Kolmogorov equations and the associated finite‐difference method to compute various performance indices including the mean migration period and harvested populations. Detailed numerical and sensitivity analysis are conducted to study the spring upstream migration of P. altivelis.
‘While Strictly Speaking It Is Illegal, You Can Work as Long as You Want’: How Platform Facades Enable Gig Workers to Comply With, Bend and Break Migration Rules
Authors: Sun Jiayi , Veen Alex , Wright Chris F. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTMigrant workers are frequently viewed as passive recipients of immigration controls. Bringing together three strands of the migration literature, namely the structuralist, agency and temporal perspectives, we analyse how migrant workers in the Australian gig economy navigate immigration controls and labour market barriers, thereby advancing debates on gig work and migration. We examine migrant workers' (non)compliance with working rights restrictions and their adherence to, or disregard for, local rules and regulations. Drawing upon 38 interviews with 30 migrants working via ‘emerging’ food‐delivery platforms, which use ‘platform facades’—an original concept this article develops—rather than comprehensive algorithmic architectures, we find these workers use these platforms' relative lax compliance regimes, independent contractor engagement‐model and work practices to circumvent migration restrictions, with co‐ethnic networks playing a facilitative role. The findings highlight the importance of temporal orientations and migration intentions for understanding migrant gig workers' (non)compliance behaviours.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTHerbert Simon's pioneering developments on bounded rationality and artificial intelligence (AI) have had a profound and lasting impact on public administration. This paper systematically examines Simon's legacy, exploring how his concepts have shaped scholarship in three core areas: decision‐making, human performance, and organizational knowledge. By connecting Simon's insights into contemporary advancements in AI, we highlight several avenues for further research. We uncover opportunities to enhance administrative processes while addressing pressing ethical and operational challenges, such as designing adaptive frameworks that balance innovation with accountability in public administration. Simon's work continues to offer essential guidance for navigating the complexities of governance in the digital age.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAbiotic stressors, such as salt stress, can reduce crop productivity, and when combined with biotic pressures, such as insect herbivory, can exacerbate yield losses. However, salinity‐induced changes to plant quality and defenses can in turn affect insect herbivores feeding on plants. This study investigates how salinity stress in tomato plants (Solanum Lycopersicum cv. Better Boy) impacts the behavior and performance of a devastating insect pest, the tomato fruitworm caterpillar (Helicoverpa zea). Through choice assays and performance experiments, we demonstrate that salt‐stressed tomato plants are poor hosts for H. zea, negatively affecting caterpillar feeding preferences and growth rates. While changes in plant nutritional quality were observed, the primary factor influencing insect performance appears to be direct ionic toxicity, which significantly impairs multiple life history parameters of H. zea including survival, pupation, adult emergence, and fecundity. Plant defense responses show complex interactions between salt stress and herbivory, with two proteinase inhibitor genes ‐ PIN2 and AspPI, showing a higher induced response to insect herbivory under salt conditions. However, plant defenses do not seem to be the main driver of reduced caterpillar performance on salt‐treated plants. Furthermore, we report reduced oviposition by H. zea moths on salt‐treated plants, which was correlated with altered volatile emissions. Our findings reveal that H. zea exhibits optimal host selection behaviours for both larval feeding and adult oviposition decisions, which likely contribute to its success as an agricultural pest. This research provides insights into the complex interactions between abiotic stress, plant physiology, and insect behaviour, with potential implications for pest management strategies in saline agricultural environments.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTAn association between confluent and reticulated papillomatosis (CARP) and obesity has been reported; however, the relationship between CARP treatment response and obesity remains unknown. A retrospective chart review was performed of 92 pediatric patients diagnosed and treated for CARP during a 7‐year period at a single institution. Twenty‐three non‐obese patients responded to therapy at a higher rate compared to 69 obese patients (100% vs. 77.5%; p = 0.009) regardless of treatment duration, treatment type, age, or sex, based on multivariable analysis. Our results demonstrate an association between obesity and poorer treatment response necessitating prospective research to better investigate the relationship between CARP severity, weight class, and optimization of medical therapy.

Authors: Ogunsiji Olayide , Foster Jann , Green Heidi , Sikhosana Nqobile , Gauci Patricia , Kayesa Naomi , Fernandez Ritin 
Published: January 2025

Objective:
The objective of this review was to synthesize the available evidence on the experiences of African women who migrated to a developed country and encountered intimate partner violence (IPV).

Introduction:
IPV is a significant public health issue, and migrant women living in developed countries are particularly vulnerable to IPV, experiencing disproportionately higher rates of IPV. Understanding the experiences of these women can inform health policy and decision-making in clinical practice to minimize IPV.

Inclusion criteria:
This review considered studies that included women of African descent, aged 16 years or older, who migrated from any of the 54 countries in the African continent to a developed country and who experienced IPV. Qualitative studies including, but not limited to, grounded theory, ethnography, phenomenology, case studies, and action research designs, were considered for inclusion.

Methods:
A comprehensive database search of CINAHL (EBSCOhost), Embase, MEDLINE (Ovid), PsycINFO (OvidSP), and Scopus was conducted in February 2022 and updated in November 2022 and February 2023. ProQuest Dissertations and Theses were searched for gray literature. Studies in the English language were considered, with no date limitation. Eligible studies were assessed by 2 independent reviewers for methodological quality. The findings were extracted and pooled, categorized by similarity of meaning, and synthesized using the JBI meta-aggregation method. The synthesized findings were graded using the ConQual approach.

Results:
Eleven qualitative studies were included in the review. The narratives of 234 women generated a total of 95 findings and 10 categories based on similarity of meaning, from which 4 synthesized findings were generated: i) The influence of cultural and gender norms, religion, and women’s perceptions of IPV; ii) Control and the cone of silence; iii) Psychological and emotional impact of IPV and ways of coping; and iv) Support for women who are victims of IPV.

Conclusion:
IPV is an ongoing issue for African migrant women in developed countries. The women reported that their partners continued their controlling behavior that was accepted in their country of birth, particularly regarding emotions and finances. The experience of IPV was exacerbated for women who did not have access to extended family members, and they often faced practical barriers in accessing available formal support. The synthesized findings from this review can be used to support the urgent need to address IPV in this migrant population.

Five-step dynamic ultrasonographic assessment of swallowing for dysphagia
Authors: Alyanak Bülent , Akaltun Mazlum Serdar , Bağcıer Fatih , Dede Burak Tayyip 
Published: January 2025

This paper presents a five-step dynamic ultrasonography (US) technique aimed at diagnosing oropharyngeal dysphagia, which encompasses the analysis of tongue-palate contact, hyoid movement, upper esophageal sphincter opening, vocal fold closure and post-swallow residue. This protocol is implemented in a sequential manner, intending to methodically evaluate the essential phases of swallowing function. By mirroring the natural process of swallowing, this sequential method may provide a full understanding of possible dysfunctions at each stage. Considering the advantages of US in dysphagia diagnosis, we believe that this method will provide clinicians with a perspective for bedside dysphagia evaluation.

Published: January 2025

BackgroundRecent media attention has been given to an apparent shift away from hormonal methods of contraception. While an increase in fertility awareness-based or ‘natural’ family planning methods is reported in the grey literature, there are no robust data to determine any such trend in the UK.MethodsWe compared self-reported contraceptive use at conception among patients presenting for abortion at British Pregnancy Advisory Service from January to June 2018 (N=33 495) and January to June 2023 (N=55 055) using chi-square (χ2) tests of association.ResultsReported use of fertility awareness-based methods of contraception around the time of conception increased from 0.4% in 2018 to 2.5% in 2023 (p<0.001). In contrast, use of hormonal methods of contraception decreased from 18.8% in 2018 to 11.3% in 2023 (p<0.001) and use of long-acting reversible contraception fell from 3% to 0.6% (p<0.001). Those reporting using no contraception at the time of conception significantly increased by 14% (p<0.001) when comparing data from 2018 (55.8%) with data from 2023 (69.6%).ConclusionsSignificantly fewer abortion patients report using effective methods of contraception around conception while also reporting an increased use of fertility awareness-based methods. Further research is needed to understand the reasons for this change.

Published: January 2025

ObjectiveTo investigate the associations between a comprehensive set of retinal vascular parameters and incident stroke to unveil new associations and explore its predictive power for stroke risk.MethodsRetinal vascular parameters were extracted from the UK Biobank fundus images using the Retina-based Microvascular Health Assessment System. We used Cox regression analysis, adjusted for traditional risk factors, to examine the associations, with false discovery rate adjustment for multiple comparisons. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to assess their predictive values.ResultsDuring a median follow-up of 12.5 years, 749 incident strokes occurred among 45 161 participants. The analysis identified 29 significant parameters associated with stroke risk, with a notable dominance of density parameters (over half). Each SD change in these parameters increased stroke risk by 9.8% to 19.0%. For identified calibre parameters, each SD change was associated with an increased risk (ranging from 10.1% to 14.1%). For identified complexity parameters and arterial inflection count tortuosity, each SD decrease was linked to an increased risk (ranging from 10.4% to 19.5%). The introduction of retinal vascular parameters improved the area under the ROC curve to 0.752, significantly outperforming the model using only traditional risk factors (0.739, p<0.001).ConclusionsRetinal vascular analysis, a non-invasive screening approach for stroke risk assessment, performed better than traditional risk stratification models. The 29 novel retinal indicators identified offer new avenues for stroke pathophysiology research.

Published: January 2025

In this paper, for a typical function [Formula: see text] defined in an uncountable compact metric space [Formula: see text], we give the lower Hewitt–Stromberg dimension of graphs [Formula: see text] of the function [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we investigate the decomposition of functions within [Formula: see text] based on the lower box dimension and the lower Hewitt–Stromberg dimension, revealing significant disparities compared to the context of the packing dimension. Second, we present some results on the lower Hewitt–Stromberg dimension of graphs of sums and products of continuous functions. The main proof is that for a given real number [Formula: see text], some real-valued continuous functions in [Formula: see text] can be decomposed into the sum and product of two continuous real-valued functions, and the lower Hewitt–Stromberg dimension of the graph for each function is [Formula: see text].
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Corequisite English Developmental Education: Evidence from a Randomized Controlled Trial in Texas Community Colleges

Published: January 2025

Abstract
We estimate the cost effectiveness of corequisite English developmental education at community colleges compared to a traditional prerequisite pathway. Our context is the randomized controlled trial conducted by Miller et al. (2022) that estimated the effects of three different approaches to English corequisites implemented in five Texas community colleges. The main drivers of differential costs across pathways and colleges are the number of credit and contact hours in each pathway, class sizes, and the type of faculty used to teach courses (adjunct or full-time). Corequisites are less expensive than prerequisite pathways in two colleges, they are roughly similar in two other colleges, and they are much more expensive in one college. Miller et al. (2022) find that corequisites induced more students to pass the required college-level English course in all colleges but find no impact on persistence in college. From students' point of view, corequisites should be preferred because tuition payments are lower, and they entail a higher likelihood of success.
Effect of Controlled School Autonomy on Student Achievement: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Portfolio Schools
Authors: Canbolat Yusuf 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Portfolio schools have become increasingly prevalent in urban school districts across the United States. These schools exemplify a model where school autonomy is integrated with district oversight, promoting a controlled form of autonomy. This study examines the impact of portfolio schools in Indianapolis on student achievement. To ensure balanced covariates between treatment and control groups, the study utilizes machine learning-generated inverse probability weighting and analyzes the ten years of data using student-fixed effect and event study approaches. The findings indicate that controlled school autonomy in the form of portfolio schools does not significantly affect student achievement overall. However, there is a negative effect for turnaround schools—a subset of portfolio schools—which serve disproportionately disadvantaged students. Additionally, portfolio charter schools, where disadvantaged students are overrepresented, perform worse than other charter schools. These results suggest that portfolio schools worsen student achievement in high-inequality settings. Potential mechanisms are discussed.
