The Idiosyncrasy of Greek Islam and the Mosque of Votanikos as a Reconciliation Initiative
Authors: Delidaki Argyro 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis article aims to demonstrate how the mosque of Votanikos has emerged as a reconciliation initiative with a wider reconciling dynamic within Greek reality and history. It places the initiative of the construction of the mosque in its wider context, while also considering the idiosyncrasy of Greek Islam, historical conditions, tensions from within, and pressures from without. The mosque of Votanikos can and should be perceived as initiating the healing of wounded memories and as a high‐impact symbolic reconciliation initiative reaching out to the grassroots level of society. The paper employs critical discourse analysis, examining the foreign and Greek media coverage of the issue.

SummaryBackgroundSeveral studies have shown dental disease to have a high prevalence and severity in donkeys. Limited studies have assessed the possible relationships between poor dental health and the management and health care of donkeys.ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to identify relationships between dental health and current management of donkeys in the UK and to provide recommendations to improve practices to help donkey welfare.Study designObservational cross‐sectional survey.MethodsA total of 596 donkeys surrendered to The Donkey Sanctuary (TDS) over a period of 30 months were included. Analysis was performed on three categories of information: entrance information submitted by previous owners and welfare professionals, pre‐admission clinical examination records and arrival medical examination data.ResultsNo statistically significant differences were identified between dental health and provision of bedding, or diet types. Agreement between external professionals and experienced TDS staff was weak in reference to recognition of dental pathology, age and body condition score (BCS). Over 25% of donkeys with severe dental pathology also had poor BCS (1–1.5). The majority of donkeys had no indication of previous dental examination.Main limitationsEntrance information was not gathered and recorded in a structured manner.ConclusionsRegular prophylactic dental care seems to have poor uptake amongst the owners of the study population, but this is perhaps, in part, aligned to the nature of the sanctuary. Owners are yet to take dental health into consideration when allocating a diet or bedding types to their donkeys, presenting a risk of colic/choke in those fed long fibres with an inability to process them adequately. The Donkey Sanctuary should continue to offer accessible means of education to reach both professionals and owners alike, and this may be well served by the implementation of the new, online, Donkey Academy.
Warming and hypoxia threaten a valuable scallop fishery: A warning for commercial bivalve ventures in climate change hotspots
Authors: Scanes Elliot , Byrne Maria 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMarine molluscs constitute the second largest marine fishery and are often caught in coastal and estuarine habitats. Temperature is increasing in these habitats at a rate greater than predicted, especially in warming “hotspots”. This warming is accompanied by hypoxia in a duo of stressors that threatens coastal mollusc fisheries and aquaculture. Collapses of the northern bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) fisheries on the Atlantic coast of the USA are likely to be driven by rapid rates of coastal warming and may provide an ominous glimpse into the prospects of other coastal mollusc fisheries in climate warming hotspots.
Hyposensitive canopy conductance renders ecosystems vulnerable to meteorological droughts

Published: January 2023

AbstractIncreased meteorological drought intensity with rising atmospheric demand for water (hereafter vapor pressure deficit [VPD]) increases the risk of tree mortality and ecosystem dysfunction worldwide. Ecosystem‐scale water‐use strategy is increasingly recognized as a key factor in regulating drought‐related ecosystem responses. However, the link between water‐use strategy and ecosystem vulnerability to meteorological droughts is poorly established. Using the global flux observations, historic hydroclimatic data, remote‐sensing products, and plant functional‐trait archive, we identified potentially vulnerable ecosystems, examining how ecosystem water‐use strategy, quantified by the percentage bias (δ) of the empirical canopy conductance sensitivity to VPD relative to the theoretical value, mediated ecosystem responses to droughts. We found that prevailing soil water availability substantially impacted δ in dryland regions where ecosystems with insufficient soil moisture usually showed conservative water‐use strategy, while ecosystems in humid regions exhibited more pronounced climatic adaptability. Hyposensitive and hypersensitive ecosystems, classified based on δ falling below or above the theoretical sensitivity, respectively, achieved similar net ecosystem productivity during droughts, employing different structural and functional strategies. However, hyposensitive ecosystems, risking their hydraulic system with a permissive water‐use strategy, were unable to recover from droughts as quickly as hypersensitive ones. Our findings highlight that processed‐based models predicting current functions and future performance of vegetation should account for the greater vulnerability of hyposensitive ecosystems to intensifying atmospheric and soil droughts.
Connecting country and city: The multiple geographies of real property ownership in the US
Authors: Van Sant Levi , Shelton Taylor , Kay Kelly 
Published: January 2023

AbstractIn this review, we bridge recent studies on the political economy of urban and rural real property ownership, focusing on the US. While there are many parallels and interlinkages between urban and rural phenomena, we note that the field generally produces a different literature for each space: one largely about urban housing and another about rural land. We argue that foregrounding their common legal status as “real property” can help develop new and important analyses that unravel the urban/rural binary. Such an approach suggests, for instance, that gentrification and amenity migration are simply urban and rural manifestations of similar underlying dynamics. This awareness also helps enable the search for institutions that connect country and city, such as investors that target real property across multiple geographies. Thus, we broadly outline the points of overlap and divergence between studies of urban and rural real property ownership in order to open up space for more comparative and relational analyses. Finally, we conclude by suggesting two sets of literature that offer resources for unraveling the urban/rural binary: the work of Doreen Massey and Indigenous geographies.
Neurobehavioral phenotypes of delay discounting and cognitive control in child attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder and obesity: Shared or distinct?
Authors: Thapaliya Gita , Carnell Susan , Mostofsky Stewart H. , Rosch Keri S. 
Published: January 2023

SummaryBackgroundAttention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and obesity have been independently associated with deficient cognitive control (CC) and heightened preference for immediate reward.ObjectivesWe aimed to identify specific shared and distinct neurobehavioral phenotypes of child obesity and ADHD by simultaneously measuring CC and preference for immediate reward in children with and without ADHD who varied in body weight.MethodsThis case–control study included 323 8–12 year olds (ADHD n = 215, typically developing (TD) screened for ADHD symptoms [TD] controls n = 108) varying in body weight. Children completed a go/no‐go task (assessing CC), as well as a classical money delay discounting (DD) task and novel experiential game time DD task (assessing preference for immediate over delayed rewards).ResultsFor game time DD, there was a body mass index z‐score (BMIz)*ADHD interaction, such that TD children with overweight/obesity showed game time DD levels that were greater than those of TD children without overweight/obesity and similar to those of children with ADHD. Only children with ADHD showed poorer CC compared to TD children, with no effects of body weight.ConclusionsHeightened game time DD with delays and rewards experienced in real‐time may represent a neurobehavioral phenotype that is shared between ADHD and overweight/obesity in childhood, whereas deficient CC may be specific to children with ADHD.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundNurses can play a valuable role in not only the implementation but development of general and health policies. However, evidence indicates limited involvement of nurses in politics and general health policy making owing to individual, interpersonal, and systematic barriers.IntroductionStrategies are required to increase nurses’ participation and engagement in policymaking. However, no studies explored the perspective of nurse leaders in policy making roles and how to improve nurses’ involvement in policy making.PurposeTo explore strategies to enhance nurses’ involvement in policy making from the perspective of nurse leaders.MethodsA qualitative descriptive study was conducted. Semistructured interviews were conducted with a purposive sample of 11 nurse leaders with at least one year of experience in policy making. Data were analyzed using a thematic analysis approach. The COREQ guidelines were followed for reporting.FindingsFive themes were generated: strategically revisit and implement educational approaches, becoming transformative leaders, improving social image of nurses, developing triadic partnerships, and empowering nurses through reflective and supportive mechanisms.DiscussionNurses’ involvement in policymaking can be enhanced by implementing grassroots‐level educational strategies, managerial‐level empowerment efforts, and social mechanisms focused on improving the social image of nursing.ConclusionsSelf and professional role empowerment through education, increasing awareness, and improving the social image of nursing can boost nurses’ involvement in policymaking.Implications for nursing policyNurse leaders, national and global nursing associations, and nursing regulatory bodies should collaborate with associations of nursing colleges to design nurse policymaking competencies framework and contextually tailored strategies to enhance nurses’ engagement in policymaking.

Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundCone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is widely used in paediatric dentistry. Appropriate use of CBCT is important because children are more vulnerable to ionizing radiation than adults.AimTo investigate the use of CBCT in children by describing reasons for requesting it and its distribution according to age, oral region, and department.DesignCone beam computed tomography scans of patients (age < 19 years) who presented to our dental clinic were investigated retrospectively according to sex, age (6–12 [Group 1] and 13–18 [Group 2] years based on dentition), referring department, imaging area (anterior/posterior, mandible/maxilla), and indication. Indications were grouped under five headings according to 2011 SEDENTEXCT guidelines: dental anomalies, impacted teeth, endodontics, bone pathosis, and others.ResultsOverall, 334 CBCT scans at different times and for different reasons in 319 patients were evaluated. In recent years, CBCT requests increased in both age groups. Eighty‐five CBCT scans (25.44%) of 78 patients (24.45%) with a mean age of 10.37 ± 1.60 years were examined in Group 1, whereas 249 CBCT scans (%74.55) of 241 patients (75.54%) with a mean age of 15.66 ± 1.70 years were examined in Group 2. The most frequent indication was the assessment of impacted teeth (46.1%). The anterior maxilla was the most frequently monitored region (41.6%). The oral and maxillofacial radiology department was the department that made the most CBCT requests in all the years considered (53.6%).ConclusionsThe most common indications were the assessment of dentigerous cysts and impacted teeth. There was an increase in the number of referrals to paediatric dentistry.

AbstractBackgroundDown syndrome is the most common liveborn genetic condition. However, there are no surveys measuring societal services and supports for people with Down syndrome. We developed a questionnaire so that initiatives could be targeted towards countries most in need of assistance.MethodWe formed a geographically diverse group of physicians, family members of people with Down syndrome, and members of Down syndrome not‐for‐profit organisations to create a survey of societal services and supports. We used a modified Delphi method and disseminated the survey to Down syndrome non‐profit organisations worldwide.ResultsOur survey consists of 61 items categorised within five domains: Education, Community Inclusion, Independence, Healthcare, and Social and Policy Issues.ConclusionsWe developed a survey to measure societal services and supports available to people with Down syndrome as perceived by organisational leaders. Our methods might serve as a blueprint for other populations of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

AbstractBackgroundTime awake with advancing age is increasingly spent sedentary and has several negative health consequences. We examined associations between the frequency of daily sedentary and active bouts with all‐cause mortality.MethodsData are from 2816 men in the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men (MrOS) Study (mean age ± SD: 79.1 ± 5.2 years) with free‐living activity monitor (SenseWear® Pro3 Armband) data (5.1 ± 0.3 days worn >90%) at the Year 7 visit (2007–2009). Sedentary bout frequency was defined as the number of sedentary bouts per day lasting 5+ min to activity of any intensity. Active bout frequency was defined as the number of active bouts per day lasting 5+ min to sedentary behavior. Sleep time was excluded from the analysis. Deaths were centrally adjudicated using death certificates. Cox proportional hazard models were used to separately examine associations between quartiles of sedentary (Q1 referent, <13.6 bouts/day) or active (Q1 referent, <5 bouts/day) bout frequency with mortality.ResultsAfter 9.3 ± 3.8 years of follow‐up, 1487 (52.8%) men died. Men averaged 16.8 ± 5.1 and 8.2 ± 4.2 sedentary and active bouts/day, respectively. After full covariate adjustment, each quartile reflecting more frequent sedentary bouts (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.58, 0.81, p‐trend <0.001) was associated with lower mortality risk. Likewise, each quartile reflecting more frequent active bouts (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.58, 95%CI: 0.49, 0.70, p‐trend <0.001) was associated with lower mortality risk. Results for the sedentary bouts model remained significant after adjusting for total minutes per day in sedentary behavior (Q4 vs. Q1 HR: 0.63, 95%CI: 0.61, 0.86, p‐trend = 0.001). The association between active bout frequency with mortality was attenuated after adjusting for total minutes per day active.ConclusionsRegardless of total time spent sedentary, reducing duration of sedentary bouts with more frequent and shorter bouts may be a simple and feasible method to delay mortality risk among community‐dwelling older men.
Equilibrium Bitcoin Pricing

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACTWe offer a general equilibrium analysis of cryptocurrency pricing. The fundamental value of the cryptocurrency is its stream of net transactional benefits, which depend on its future prices. This implies that, in addition to fundamentals, equilibrium prices reflect sunspots. This in turn implies multiple equilibria and extrinsic volatility, that is, cryptocurrency prices fluctuate even when fundamentals are constant. To match our model to the data, we construct indices measuring the net transactional benefits of Bitcoin. In our calibration, part of the variations in Bitcoin returns reflects changes in net transactional benefits, but a larger share reflects extrinsic volatility.

AbstractIn the context of the current extinction crisis, identifying new conservation units is pivotal to the development of sound conservation measures, especially in highly threatened taxa such as felids. Corsican wildcats are known by Corsican people since a very long time but have been little studied. Meaningful information about their phylogenetic position is lacking. We used ddRADseq to genotype phenotypically homogenous Corsican wildcats at 3671 genome‐wide SNPs and reported for the first time their genetic identity. We compared this genomic information to domestic cats Felis silvestris catus from Corsica and mainland France, European wildcats F. s. silvestris and Sardinian wildcats F. s. lybica. Our premise was that if the Corsican wildcat, as a phenotypic entity, also represents a genetic entity, it deserves conservation measures and to be recognized as a conservation unit. Corsican wildcats appeared highly genetically differentiated from European wildcats and genetically closer to Sardinian wildcats than to domestic cats. Domestic cats from Corsica and mainland France were closer to each other and Sardinian wildcats were intermediate between Corsican wildcats and domestic cats. This suggested that Corsican wildcats do not belong to the F. s. silvestris or catus lineages. The inclusion of more high‐quality Sardinian samples and Near‐Eastern mainland F. s. lybica would constitute the next step toward assessing the status of Corsican wildcat as a subspecies and/or evolutionarily significant unit and tracing back wildcat introduction history of in Corsica.
Insights into the tussock growth form with model–data fusion

Published: January 2023

SummarySome rhizomatous grass and sedge species form tussocks that impact ecosystem structure and function. Despite their importance, tussock development and size controls are poorly understood due to the decadal to centennial timescales over which tussocks form.We explored mechanisms regulating tussock development and size in a ubiquitous arctic tussock sedge (Eriophorum vaginatum) using field observations and a mass balance model coupled with a tiller population model. Model–data fusion was used to quantify parameter and prediction uncertainty, determine model sensitivity, and test hypotheses on the factors regulating tussock size.The model accurately captured the dynamics of tussock development, characteristics, and size observed in the field. Tussock growth approached maximal size within several decades, which was determined by feedbacks between the mass balance of tussock root necromass and density‐dependent tillering. The model also predicted that maximal tussock size was primarily regulated by tiller root productivity and necromass bulk density and less so by tiller demography. These predictions were corroborated by field observations of tussock biomass and root characteristics.The study highlights the importance of belowground processes in regulating tussock development and size and enhances our understanding of the influence of tussocks on arctic ecosystem structure and function.
