AbstractPurposeTo critically evaluate the evidence on knowledge changes observed after the application of evidence‐based dentistry (EBD) educational interventions to dental students.MethodsWe included studies that assessed EBD knowledge after applying educational interventions to undergraduates. Studies that evaluated post‐graduate students or professionals, that exclusively described educational interventions, programs, or the application of curriculum revisions were excluded. Electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science), unpublished gray literature, and manual searches were performed. Data concerning “perceived” and “actual knowledge” was extracted. The quality of the studies was appraised according to the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool.ResultsThe 21 selected studies enrolled students at different stages, and the intervention formats were diverse. The educational interventions could be categorized into three modalities, that is, regular, EBD‐focused disciplines or courses, and other educational interventions including one or more of the EBD principles, methods, and/or practices. Despite the format, knowledge was generally improved after the implementation of educational interventions. Overall, perceived and actual levels of knowledge increased considering EBD general concepts, principles, and/or practices, and concerning the “acquire” and “appraise” skills. Among the selected studies, two were randomized controlled trials, while most were non‐randomized or descriptive studies.ConclusionsEBD‐related educational interventions seem to improve dental students’ perceived and actual knowledge, according to literature with a high risk of bias. Therefore, more complete, methodologically rigorous, and longer‐term studies are still recommended to confirm and expand the current knowledge.
Alibi believability: Corroborator certainty, cooperativeness and relationship with the defendant
Authors: Allison Meredith , Kollar Courtney 
Published: July 2023

AbstractAlibi believability can be affected by characteristics of the alibi corroborator, including the relationship between the defendant and corroborator, which has been studied extensively by researchers. The corroborator's certainty that they were together at the time of the crime may also influence alibi believability, but only a few studies have examined this. Another factor that may affect believability is the corroborator's cooperativeness with the police, which is yet to be studied in the alibi context. Online U.S. participants recruited from CloudResearch (N = 280) acted as mock jurors and evaluated a mock arson case where the defendant used an alibi defence. The alibi corroborator's relationship to the defendant (brother/neighbour), the certainty that they were together at the time (65%/100%) and cooperativeness with police (cooperative/uncooperative) were manipulated between participants. The participants were evenly split when it came to verdict (p > .05) but were more likely to vote guilty when the corroborator was a brother rather than a neighbour (p < .01) and when the brother was uncooperative versus cooperative (p < .05). As expected, alibis were more believable when they were corroborated by a neighbour rather than a brother and when the corroborator was 100% certain that they were together versus 65% certain (ps < .01). Alibis were also more believable when the corroborator cooperated than when he was uncooperative (p < .01). Cooperative (vs. uncooperative) corroborators led to more positive defendant and corroborator views on all six character trait measures (ps < .01). Implications and future directions are discussed.

Published: July 2023

SummaryPresenteeism refers to working despite ill health that might otherwise warrant sickness absence. Estimated to cost tens of millions of dollars in lost productivity, the concept has attracted the attention of different academic disciplines, policymakers, and practitioners interested in mitigating the problem. Although a topic of significant interest, the current understanding of presenteeism is compromised by a number of conceptual and methodological factors that follow from one another. We begin this introductory article by providing a brief overview on three specific challenges, namely, (1) presenteeism ill‐defined as a unitary construct, (2) narrowness of approaches to measure and study presenteeism, and (3) insufficient research on the social and relational dynamism that characterizes presenteeism. We then provide an overview of the eight articles that comprise this issue and analyze how they address the aforementioned three challenges by adopting alternative theoretical frameworks, utilizing new measurement approaches, and/or by shedding light on the dynamic nature of presenteeism. Finally, we discuss fresh perspectives and promising directions for future research endeavors on this topic, with the hope that this issue will inspire further research on the practical implications of presenteeism for promoting positive health and well‐being at the workplace.
Commutators, centralizers, and strong conciseness in profinite groups

Published: July 2023

AbstractA group G is said to have restricted centralizers if for each the centralizer either is finite or has finite index in G. Shalev showed that a profinite group with restricted centralizers is virtually abelian. We take interest in profinite groups with restricted centralizers of uniform commutators, that is, elements of the form , where . Here, denotes the set of prime divisors of the order of . It is shown that such a group necessarily has an open nilpotent subgroup. We use this result to deduce that is finite if and only if the cardinality of the set of uniform k‐step commutators in G is less than .
Revealing the essence of value‐in‐being: A Heideggerian paradigm of value co‐creation
Authors: Alimamy Saifeddin , Chylinski Mathew , Deans Kenneth R. , Gnoth Juergen 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis study presents a novel paradigm of “value‐in‐being,” offering an alternative to the prevailing customer‐centric approaches and their utilitarian focus on value‐in‐use that dominate the co‐creation literature. Drawing upon Heidegger's philosophy, the study derives the fundamental elements of value‐in‐being, emphasizing the crucial importance of subjective meaning, context‐specific purpose, and dwelling as key priorities for service design. By investigating the intricate relationship between Heideggerian philosophy and value‐in‐being, as well as its relation to value‐in‐use, this study provides valuable insights into the competing processes of value co‐creation and their impact on customer well‐being. Through theoretical analysis, the paper illustrates how organizations can cultivate more authentic experiences by embracing Heideggerian principles and giving prominence to value‐in‐being. The primary objective is to redirect the trajectory of services research, achieving a balance between value‐in‐use and value‐in‐being, while also serving as a roadmap for future investigations into the emerging paradigm of value‐in‐being within the co‐creation domain.
Butyrate Improves Porcine Endometrial Epithelial Cell Receptivity via Enhancing Acetylation of Histone H3K9

Published: July 2023

ScopeUterine receptivity is a major restriction of embryo implantation and survival, and the endometrial luminal epithelium serves as the transient gateway for uterine receptivity and embryo implantation. Butyrate is reported to promote the success of embryo implantation, but the effects and mechanism of butyrate on uterine receptivity are still unknown.Methods and resultsPorcine endometrial epithelial cells (PEECs) are used as a model, and the cellular receptivity changes, metabolism, and gene expression profiles influenced by butyrate are analyzed. The study finds that butyrate improves receptive changes in PEECs, including inhibiting proliferation, exhibiting more pinocytosis on the cell surface, and increasing adhesiveness to porcine trophoblast cells. In addition, butyrate increases prostaglandin synthesis and markedly impacts purine metabolism, pyrimidine metabolism, and the FoxO signaling pathway. siRNA to inhibit the expression of FoxO1 and chromatin immunoprecipitation‐sequencing (ChIP‐seq) of H3K9ac are used to demonstrate that the H3K9ac/FoxO1/PCNA pathway can contribute to the effects of cell proliferation inhibition and uterine receptivity improvement induced by butyrate.ConclusionThe findings reveal that butyrate improves endometrial epithelial cell receptivity by enhancing the acetylation of histone H3K9, which shows nutritional regulation and therapeutic potential for poor uterine receptivity and difficulty in embryo implantation.
Low‐profile and broadband microstrip antenna with pattern diversity
Authors: Liang Le‐Yuan , Tu Zhi‐Hong 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis paper presents a low‐profile and broadband pattern diversity microstrip antenna with quasiperiodic radiating patches fed by two slots. The thickness of the whole design is only 0.044λ0 (λ0 is the free‐space wavelength of the center frequency), showing great potential in applications. The broadband property is realized by efficiently exciting TM10 mode and antiphase TM20 mode and forming two resonant frequencies in the target band. The antenna can generate a broadside or difference pattern by switching the input port of the broadband 180° hybrid coupling feed network. The measured results show that the coincident impedance bandwidth of the antenna working in the two pattern modes is 20.5% (3.20–3.93 GHz), and the maximum gain values are 6.85 dBi for the directional pattern and 5.80 dBi for the difference pattern.

AbstractBackgroundThe production of individualized anthropomorphic phantoms via three‐dimensional (3D) printing methods offers promising possibilities to assess and optimize radiation exposures for specifically relevant patient groups (i.e., overweighed or pregnant persons) that are not adequately represented by standardized anthropomorphic phantoms. However, the equivalence of printed phantoms must be demonstrated exemplarily with respect to the resulting image contrasts and dose distributions.PurposeTo reproduce a conventionally produced anthropomorphic phantom of a female chest and breasts and to evaluate their equivalence with respect to image contrasts and absorbed doses at the example of a computed tomography (CT) examination of the chest.MethodsIn a first step, the effect of different print settings on the CT values of printed samples was systematically investigated. Subsequently, a transversal slice and breast add‐ons of a conventionally produced female body phantom were reproduced using a multi‐material extrusion‐based printer, considering six different types of tissues (muscle, lung, adipose, and glandular breast tissue, as well as bone and cartilage). CT images of the printed and conventionally produced phantom parts were evaluated with respect to their geometric correspondence, image contrasts, and absorbed doses measured using thermoluminescent dosimeters.ResultsCT values of printed objects are highly sensitive to the selected print settings. The soft tissues of the conventionally produced phantom could be reproduced with a good agreement. Minor differences in CT values were observed for bone and lung tissue, whereas absorbed doses to the relevant tissues were identical within the measurement uncertainties.Conclusion3D‐printed phantoms are with exception of minor contrast differences equivalent to their conventionally manufactured counterparts. When comparing the two production techniques, it is important to note that conventionally manufactured phantoms should not be considered as absolute benchmarks, as they also only approximate the human body in terms of its absorption, and attenuation of x‐rays as well as its geometry.
Order acceptance and scheduling with delivery under generalized parameters
Authors: Lu Lingfa , Ou Jinwen , Yu Xue , Zhang Liqi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractInspired by the concept of generalized due dates introduced by Hall (IIE Transactions, 18(2), 220–222), in this article we first define four new generalized parameters in machine scheduling: the generalized release dates (GRD), generalized processing times (GPT), generalized rejection costs (GRC), and generalized delivery times (GDT). We then study order acceptance and scheduling problems with delivery consideration under the generalized parameters of GRD, GPT, GRC, and GDT, respectively. The objective of each scheduling problem in consideration is to minimize the maximum delivery completion time of the accepted jobs plus the total rejection penalty cost of the rejected jobs. We show that two of the six problems studied in this article are weakly NP‐hard while the other four ones can be solved in polynomial time. For each NP‐hard problem, we provide a pseudo‐polynomial time algorithm, a 2‐approximation algorithm and a fully polynomial‐time approximation scheme.

Published: July 2023

AbstractObjectiveTo correlate radiographic evidence of cholesteatoma in the retrotympanum with intraoperative endoscopic findings in cholesteatoma patients and to evaluate the clinical relevance of radiographic evidence of cholesteatoma in the retrotympanum.Study DesignCase series with chart review.SettingTertiary referral center.MethodsSeventy‐six consecutive cases undergoing surgical cholesteatoma removal with preoperative high‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) were enrolled in this study. A retrospective analysis of the medical records was conducted. The extension of cholesteatoma regarding different middle ear subspaces, into the antrum and mastoid were reviewed radiologically in preoperative HRCT and endoscopically from surgical videos. Additionally, facial nerve canal dehiscence, infiltration of the middle cranial fossa, and inner ear involvement were documented.ResultsComparison of radiological and endoscopic cholesteatoma extension revealed statistically highly significant overestimation of radiological cholesteatoma extension for all retrotympanic regions (sinus tympani 61.8% vs 19.7%, facial recess 69.7% vs 43.4%, subtympanic sinus 59.2% vs 7.9%, and posterior sinus 72.4% vs 4.0%) and statistically significant overestimation for mesotympanum (82.9% vs 56.6%), hypotympanum (39.5% vs 9.2%), and protympanum (23.7% vs 6.6%). No statistically significant differences were found for epitympanum (98.7% vs 90.8%), antrum (64.5% vs 52.6%), and mastoid (26.3% vs 32.9%). Statistically significant radiological overestimation of facial nerve canal dehiscence (54.0% vs 25.0%) and invasion of tegmen tympani (39.5% vs 19.7%) is reported.ConclusionRadiologic cholesteatoma extension in different middle ear subspaces is overestimated compared to the intraoperative extension. The preoperative relevance of radiological retrotympanic extension might be limited in the choice of approach and transcanal endoscopic approach is always recommended first.

AbstractNanocomposites with inorganic nanofillers spread in a polymer matrix have been used for the development of pharmaceutical systems to treat mental illnesses such as bipolar disorder and Alzheimer's disease. In this study, nanostructured particles using a solution intercalation technique combined with a spray‐drying process using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), montmorillonite, titanium dioxide, and lithium carbonate, with the aim of designing a new drug delivery system. XRD and low‐field nuclear magnetic resonance analyses showed that PVP/MMT 1% achieved an intercalated/exfoliated morphology. However, the incorporation of TiO2 nanoparticles into the PVP matrix did not affect its structure, indicating that there was not a strong interaction between the polymer and the TiO2 nanoparticles. Thermal analysis did not reveal any changes in the nanocomposites compared to the pure polymer. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis revealed a pseudo‐spherical shape, and SEM‐energy‐dispersive x‐ray spectrometry (EDS) confirmed the dispersion of MMT in the PVP matrix. The introduction of lithium carbonate into the PVP/MMT matrix created a new system with higher molecular mobility; the drug introduction increased the mean droplet size, and the zeta potential remained negative. Overall, the results indicate that the applied methodology can produce a new nanostructured particle as a drug delivery system.

AbstractIn recent years, adolescent sleep problems have received increasing attention. Stressful life events have been found to be a risk factor for sleep problems, but little is known about the components that may explain or influence this association. To investigate this, the present study tested whether depressive symptoms mediated the association between stressful life events and Chinese freshmen' sleep problems, as well as whether emotional regulation skills moderated this process. A sample of 513 Chinese freshmen (32.2% males, mean age = 19.04 years, SD = 1.21) completed anonymous questionnaires regarding stressful life events, depressive symptoms, emotional regulation and sleep problems (examined using Adolescent Self‐Rating Life Events Checklist, Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale for Children, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Response to Stress Questionnaire). The study included covariates such as gender, age, and socioeconomic level. Depressive symptoms were shown to partially mediated the association between stressful life events and sleep problems in structural equation models. Emotional regulation moderated the relationship betweenn stressful life events and depressive symptoms. The results show that promoting emotional regulation could be beneficial in preventing and intervening sleep problems related to stressful life events.

Published: July 2023

AbstractOn March 28, 2022, Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis signed HB 1557 “The Parental Rights in Education” bill into law, taking effect July 1, 2022. As written, the bill: (a) prohibits discussion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer/questioning, and all other terms and concepts related to sexuality and gender (LGBTQ+) topics within schools, (b) requires schools to provide access to confidential records (e.g., counseling notes), and (c) requires school staff to notify parents when students engage in LGBTQ+ conversations or seek resources. While proponents posit that HB 1557 protects the “parents' fundamental rights to make decisions regarding the upbringing of their children,” critics and activists contend that the bill will result in enduring damage to LGBTQ+ students. The purpose of this essay is threefold: (a) describe HB 1557 and elaborate on public responses to the bill, (b) provide stakeholder commentary on HB 1557, and (c) offer considerations to support members of the LGBTQ+ community in schools.

Published: July 2023

AbstractIn common with many countries, UK schools closed for most pupils for periods between March 2020 and March 2021 because of the Covid‐19 pandemic, with significant implications for school education and the primary to secondary school transition. The transition to secondary school occurs at a crucial time of child development, with evidence suggesting transition may have a range of impacts on pupil wellbeing and academic performance. We wanted to understand how the pandemic had affected secondary teaching staff and their pupils during the move to secondary school. The study involved semistructured interviews with transition leaders from 12 secondary schools with subsequent thematic analysis. The findings of the study include; potential benefits from the digitalization of teaching practice; improving both pupil inclusion and staff efficiency, an enhanced interface with new parents resulting from virtual tours and open evenings, implications for the scope of existing teacher training with regard to virtual learning and concerns over pupil wellbeing, with increased levels of anxiety and a lack of emotional intelligence resulting from lockdowns. The study concludes that whilst the overall impact of the pandemic was probably detrimental to pupils' education and transitions practice, some potentially significant educational opportunities have arisen.
