AbstractObjectivesThe aim of this study was to review available evidence for Type 1A (immediate implant placement and immediate loading) of single tooth replacement in the maxillary esthetic zone.Materials and MethodsAn electronic search was conducted utilizing the databases of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane to identify publications reporting on the outcomes of Type 1A for single tooth replacement in the maxillary esthetic zone. The success and survival rates of the included articles were reported, which were further categorized according to the clinical criteria reported in Type 1A. Mean survival rates were univariately compared between risk groups and additionally between studies published before and since 2012 using bias‐corrected and study size‐weighed bootstrap tests. A study time‐correcting meta‐analysis was then performed to obtain an overall effect for the study pool.ResultsA total of 3118 publications were identified in the search, with a total of 68 articles included. A mean number of implants per study were 37.2 and mean follow‐up was 2.8 years. All the included studies utilizing Type 1A report highly selective inclusion and exclusion criteria. Univariate risk group comparison determined that studies before 2012 report a significantly lower mean survival rate (difference of −1.9 percentage points [PP], 95% CI: [−0.3, −4.0], p = .02), facial gap dimension had an impact on survival rates (+3.1 PP [0.2, 5.3] for width >2 mm, p = .04), as well as presence of endodontic infection (+2.6 PP [0.9, 5.1], p = .004).ConclusionsType 1A has a high survival rate in studies reporting strict patient and site selection criteria. Further research is required to assess esthetic and functional success with Type 1A treatments.

AbstractObjectivesIn patients with dental implants, what is the effect of transmucosal components made of materials other than titanium (alloys) compared to titanium (alloys) on the surrounding peri‐implant tissues after at least 1 year?Materials and MethodsThis systematic review included eligible randomized controlled trials identified through an electronic search (Medline, Embase and Web of Science) comparing alternative abutment materials versus titanium (alloy) abutments with a minimum follow‐up of 1 year and including at least 10 patients/group. Primary outcomes were peri‐implant marginal bone level (MBL) and probing depth (PD), these were evaluated based on meta‐analyses. Abutment survival, biological and technical complications and aesthetic outcomes were the secondary outcomes. The risk of bias was assessed with the RoB2‐tool. This review is registered in PROSPERO with the number (CRD42022376487).ResultsFrom 5129 titles, 580 abstracts were selected, and 111 full‐text articles were screened. Finally, 12 articles could be included. Concerning the primary outcomes (MBL and PD), no differences could be seen between titanium abutment and zirconia or alumina abutments, not after 1 year (MBL: zirconia: MD = −0.24, 95% CI: −0.65 to 0.16, alumina: MD = −0.06, 95% CI: −0.29 to 0.17) (PD: zirconia: MD = −0.06, 95% CI: −0.41 to 0.30, alumina: MD = −0.29, 95% CI: −0.96 to 0.38), nor after 5 years. Additionally, no differences were found concerning the biological complications and aesthetic outcomes. The most important technical finding was abutment fracture in the ceramic group and chipping of the veneering material.ConclusionsBiologically, titanium and zirconia abutments seem to function equally up to 5 years after placement.

AbstractVariation in the recruitment of salmon is often found to be correlated with marine climate indices, but mechanisms behind environment–recruitment relationships remain unclear and correlations often break down over time. We used an ecosystem modeling approach to explore bottom‐up and top‐down mechanisms linking a variable environment to salmon recruitment variations. Our ecosystem model incorporates a regional ocean circulation submodel for hydrodynamics, a nutrient‐phytoplankton‐zooplankton submodel for producing planktonic prey fields, and an individual‐based model (IBM) representing juvenile Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha), combined with observations of foraging distributions and diet of a seabird predator. The salmon IBM consists of modules, including a juvenile salmon growth module based on temperature and salmon–prey availability, a behavior‐based movement module, and a juvenile salmon predation mortality module based on juvenile salmon size distribution and predator–prey interaction probability. Seabird–salmon interactions depend on spatial overlap and juvenile salmon size, whereby salmon that grow past the size range of the prey distribution of the predator will escape predation. We used a 21‐year historical simulation to explore interannual variability in juvenile Chinook salmon growth and predation‐mediated survival under a range of ocean conditions for sized‐based mortality scenarios. We based a series of increasingly complex predation scenarios on seabird observational data to explore variability in predation mortality on juvenile Chinook salmon. We initially included information about the predator spatial distribution, then added population size, and finally the predator's diet percentage made up of juvenile salmon. Model agreement improves with added predator complexity, especially during periods when predator abundance is high. Overall, our model found that when the fraction of juvenile salmon in seabird diet increased relative to alternate prey (e.g., Northern anchovy Engraulis mordax, and juvenile rockfish Sebastes spp.), there was a concomitant decrease in salmon cohort survival during their first year at sea.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackground and AimThe current procedure for identifying hereditary colorectal cancer (HCRC) is time consuming in clinical practice. This study aimed to develop a time‐saving approach to diagnosing HCRC.MethodsA total of 100 suspected HCRC patients were prospectively enrolled (cohort 1) and 116 colorectal cancer patients with DNA mismatch repair‐deficient were retrospectively included (cohort 2). Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) tests were performed on tumors and matched white blood cells (WBCs) or normal tissues. Using the conventional method upon WBC/normal tissue‐based NGS data as a reference, the performance of the ColonCore method using tumor‐only‐based NGS data in predicting germline variants was explored in cohort 1 and validated in cohort 2.ResultsIn cohort 1, the ColonCore method diagnosed 17 Lynch syndrome (LS) and 14 familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP); and by the conventional method, the cases were 16 and 10, respectively. The ColonCore method showed sensitivities of 100% in diagnosing LS (positive predictive value [PPV] 94.1%) and FAP (PPV 71.4%). Moreover, two of seven patients with multiple adenomas/polyps who did not meet existing clinical criteria for HCRC were predicted to harbor germline variants in APC and MUTYH. Additionally, the sensitivity of the ColonCore method in identifying LS patients from cohort 2 reached 85.7% with a PPV of 85.7%.ConclusionThe ColonCore method might be an acceptable tool for predicting germline variants associated with HCRC. Our work indicates the essentiality of NGS tests in CRC patients for precision diagnosis and treatment.
Attention Spillover in Asset Pricing

Published: September 2023

ABSTRACTExploiting a screen display feature whereby the order of stock display is determined by the stock's listing code, we lever a novel identification strategy and study how the interaction between overconfidence and limited attention affect asset pricing. We find that stocks displayed next to those with higher returns in the past two weeks are associated with higher returns in the future week, which are reverted in the long run. This is consistent with our conjectures that investors tend to trade more after positive investment experience and are more likely to pay attention to neighboring stocks, both confirmed using trading data.
Optimal endoscopic treatment and partial cystectomy with or without bladder augmentation for Hunner‐type interstitial cystitis

Published: September 2023

AbstractInterstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) presents a significant challenge for urologists in terms of management, owing to its chronic nature and adverse impact on patient quality of life. Given the potential distinction between two disease entities within IC/BPS, namely Hunner‐type IC and BPS without Hunner lesion, there is a need for an optimal therapeutic approach that focuses on the bladder lesions in Hunner‐type IC. In cases where Hunner lesions are observed, complete transurethral ablation of these lesions should be prioritized as the initial intervention, as it has demonstrated effectiveness in symptom control. However, recurrence remains a limitation of this intervention. The techniques of resection and coagulation are equally effective in terms of symptom relief and recurrence prevention. Reconstructive surgery becomes necessary in cases of end‐stage IC/BPS where various therapeutic approaches have failed. Patient selection is crucial in reconstructive surgery, particularly for patients with clear Hunner lesions and small bladder capacity who have not responded to previous treatments. Furthermore, it is vital to consider the patients' expectations and preferences adequately. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature and our own clinical experiences, subtotal cystectomy followed by bladder augmentation is considered a safe and effective surgical option. This stepwise and tailored therapeutic approach aims to optimize patients' quality of life by specifically targeting Hunner‐type IC.
The Interface Between Student Teacher Grammar Cognitions and Learner‐Oriented Cognitions
Authors: GRAUS JOHAN , COPPEN PETER–ARNO 
Published: September 2023

AbstractIt is widely accepted that teacher cognitions—what teachers know, think, and believe—play a significant part in teachers’ decision‐making processes. The present study investigated the specific cognitions that 74 Dutch undergraduate and postgraduate student teachers of English as a foreign language (EFL) had on grammar instruction and how these interfaced with learner‐oriented cognitions. Ten focus group interviews were held in which the necessity of grammar instruction, its role in the foreign language (FL) curriculum, and different approaches to grammar teaching were examined in relation to student teachers’ perceptions of their learners. The results show that the participants considered explicit, systematic, and isolated grammar instruction a necessary condition not only for linguistic correctness but also for advanced communicative competence. Moreover, complex interactional patterns were identified between cognitions on meaning‐ and form‐focused approaches on the one hand and learner characteristics on the other. Conceptions of the position and role of grammar in the FL classroom were found to be mediated by student teacher perceptions of learner autonomy, motivation, intellectual capabilities, needs, and instructional preferences. Awareness of these patterns may assist foreign language teacher educators in uncovering how their students operationalize grammar teaching, thereby creating opportunities to engage in deep, reflective processing of topics raised in grammar teaching courses and their link to teaching practice.
What Type of Vocabulary Knowledge Predicts Reading Comprehension: Word Meaning Recall or Word Meaning Recognition?
Authors: LAUFER BATIA , AVIAD–LEVITZKY TAMI 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study examined how well second language (L2) recall and recognition vocabulary tests correlated with a reading test, how well each vocabulary test discriminated between reading proficiency levels, and how accurate each test was in predicting reading proficiency when compared with corpus studies. A total of 116 college‐level learners of English as a foreign language took a reading test and 2 vocabulary size tests: meaning recall and meaning recognition. Participants were divided into 4 reading proficiency levels based on the reading scores. We correlated the reading scores with the 2 vocabulary scores, compared the 4 reading groups on each vocabulary test, and compared the vocabulary size of each of the reading proficiency groups with corpus studies. Both vocabulary tests were good predictors of reading, but the recognition test fared slightly better. We introduce the notion of ‘comprehension vocabulary’ and suggest that a recall test is more appropriate for measuring sight vocabulary while a recognition test is more appropriate for measuring comprehension vocabulary.
Mind the gap: The nation form and the Kohn dichotomy
Authors: Heiskanen Jaakko 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe dichotomy between civic Western nationalism and ethnic non‐Western nationalism (also known as “the Kohn dichotomy” after the historian of nationalism Hans Kohn) remains one of the most influential frameworks for understanding nationalism. It is also one of the most controversial: The binary schema has been criticised not only for its conceptual inconsistencies but also for entrenching an ethnocentric hierarchy that depicts Western nations as fountains of civic virtue. This article enriches these longstanding debates by excavating the neglected inverse side of the Kohn dichotomy. Since the late nineteenth century, the idealised Western nation is imagined not only as a civic polity united by common political traditions but also as an organic community blessed with natural boundaries. In short, Western nations are depicted as both civic and ethnic. Meanwhile, non‐Western nations are denied the privilege of being contradictory and deemed to suffer from a perennial mismatch between civic and ethnic elements: Non‐Western nations are depicted either as ethnic communities lacking civic traditions or as artificial political constructions lacking organic roots. Without taking into account this intricate dialectic between the civic and ethnic poles of the nation form, critics of the Kohn dichotomy will struggle to fully grasp its ideological functions or historical longevity.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundIncomplete resolution of T cell‐mediated rejection (TCMR) after treatment may not be detected with serum creatinine monitoring and is associated with donor‐specific antibodies and chronic rejection. We evaluate the utility of follow‐up biopsies (FUB) to identify and characterize rates of persistent TCMR after treatment in pediatric kidney transplant patients.MethodsPatients from two pediatric transplant centers performing standard of care FUB at 1.5–2 months after treatment for TCMR were included. FUB were evaluated for extent of rejection resolution (complete vs. incomplete) and grade. Clinical data at time of FUB and later were reported, where available.ResultsFifty‐eight patients underwent FUB, at mean of 1.7 months (SD 0.7) post‐index biopsy. Rejection grade on index biopsy was Banff borderline (≥i1t1 and <i2t2) in 59% and Banff ≥1A (≥i2t2) in 41%. Acute rejection was persistent in 32 (55%) of FUB. Borderline rejection had higher rates of complete resolution of rejection compared to grade ≥1A (53% vs. 33%, p = .033). Incomplete resolution of rejection on FUB was re‐treated in 25 (78%) of cases. Change in eGFR from index to FUB did not differ between those with complete and incomplete resolution (5.7 ± 32.2 vs. 13.1 ± 51.3, p = .28) and was not a sensitive marker of identifying persistent rejection.ConclusionsFUB were effective at detecting persistent rejection, which was common among pediatric transplant patients after standard TCMR treatment. Until more effective rejection treatments or sensitive biomarkers are available, FUB may be effectively utilized to identify patients with ongoing rejection who would benefit from further treatment.
Allelopathy and allelobiosis: efficient and economical alternatives in agroecosystems
Authors: Han M. , Yang H. , Huang H. , Du J. , Zhang S. , Fu Y. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractChemical interactions in plants often involve plant allelopathy and allelobiosis. Allelopathy is an ecological phenomenon leading to interference among organisms, while allelobiosis is the transmission of information among organisms. Crop failures and low yields caused by inappropriate management can be related to both allelopathy and allelobiosis. Therefore, research on these two phenomena and the role of chemical substances in both processes will help us to understand and upgrade agroecosystems. In this review, substances involved in allelopathy and allelobiosis in plants are summarized. The influence of environmental factors on the generation and spread of these substances is discussed, and relationships between allelopathy and allelobiosis in interspecific, intraspecific, plant–micro‐organism, plant–insect, and mechanisms, are summarized. Furthermore, recent results on allelopathy and allelobiosis in agroecosystem are summarized and will provide a reference for the future application of allelopathy and allelobiosis in agroecosystem.
The effect of inequality on poverty and severity of poverty in sub‐Saharan Africa: The role of financial development institutions
Authors: Asongu Simplice , Odhiambo Nicholas M. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractThe present study investigates the incidence of financial institutions' dynamics of depth and access in the effect of income inequality on poverty and the severity of poverty in 42 sub‐Saharan African countries from 1980 to 2019. The Gini index is used to measure income inequality while poverty is measured as the poverty headcount ratio, and the severity of poverty is generated as the square of the poverty gap index. An interactive quantile regression approach is used as an empirical strategy. Income inequality unconditionally increases poverty dynamics while the financial institutions' depth and access mitigate the adverse effects of income inequality on poverty dynamics. Financial institutions' policy thresholds or minimum financial institution levels needed to completely dampen the adverse effects of income inequality on poverty dynamics are provided. The findings are contingent on existing levels of poverty, poverty measurement, and proxies for financial institutions. Policy implications are discussed.Related ArticlesAbdulai, Abdul‐Gafaru, Justice Nyigmah Bawole, and Emmanuel Kojo Sakyi. 2018. “Rethinking Persistent Poverty in Northern Ghana: The Primacy of Policy and Politics over Geography.” Politics & Policy 46(2): 233–62. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12250.Adegboye, Alex, Kofo Adegboye, Uwalomwa Uwuigbe, Stephen Ojeka, and Eyitemi Fasanu. 2023. “Taxation, Democracy, and Inequality in Sub‐Saharan Africa: Relevant Linkages for Sustainable Development Goals.” Politics & Policy 51(4): 696–722. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12547.Nchofoung, Tii, Simplice Asongu, Vanessa Tchamyou, and Ofeh Edoh. 2022. “Gender, Political Inclusion, and Democracy in Africa: Some Empirical Evidence.” Politics & Policy 51(1): 137–55. https://doi.org/10.1111/polp.12505.

Additionally, a boost converter for extracting the maximum power from PV panels was used in the system and an Incremental conductance (IC) algorithm was chosen in the controller circuit. The system was implemented and investigated using MATLAB/Simulink at various irradiance values (i.e., 400, 600, 800 and 1000) w/m<sup>2</sup>. The results indicate that the efficiency of the proposed system is higher than 90% at all selected irradiance values proven that the integration of PV array with water pumping system without any energy storage devices is applicable at a daytime.</span>
Microvascular Dysfunction as a Possible Link Between Heart Failure and Cognitive Dysfunction
Authors: Hillier Elizabeth , Covone Jason , Fischer Kady , Chen Hao Yu , Hafyane Tarik , Friedrich Matthias G. 
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND:
Microvascular function in the brain and heart may play an important role in the course of patients with heart failure (HF), but its relationship with ventricular and cognitive function is not well understood. We hypothesized that microvascular function in HF is closely related to both, cardiac and cognitive function.

METHODS:
In healthy controls and symptomatic patients with HF (New York Heart Association functional class II or III), we used oxygenation-sensitive magnetic resonance imaging during a standardized breathing maneuver to determine the cerebral oxygenation reserve and the myocardial oxygenation reserve (MORE) as markers for microvascular function. A stepwise multivariable linear regression was performed to determine the variables that best predict changes in cerebral oxygenation reserve and MORE. We also measured cognitive function using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment test.

RESULTS:

Twenty patients with HF (age 64.4±8.3 years; 50% female sex), and 21 healthy controls (age 55.0±5.1 years; 62% female sex) were included in the analysis. In patients with HF, cerebral oxygenation reserve and MORE were lower than in healthy controls (MORE, −0.1±3.3 versus 5.0±4.2, cerebral oxygenation reserve: 0.43±0.47 versus 1.21±0.60, respectively) as were Montreal Cognitive Assessment score results (HF, 23.9±3.7; healthy, 27.8±1.5;
P
=0.002). The Montreal Cognitive Assessment score in patients was correlated with cardiac output (
r
=0.55,
P
=0.011) and MORE (
r
=0.46,
P
=0.040). In addition to the presence of HF, significant predictors of cerebral and myocardial oxygenation reserve were cardiac output and end-diastolic volume, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS:
Our results indicate that heart failure is an independent predictor of coronary and cerebral microvascular dysfunction as defined by a reduced response to a vasodilatory breathing maneuver. This impaired response was associated with reduced cognitive function.
