AbstractIntroductionIn community settings with limited dental personnel and equipment, and in an era when the aerosol transmission of infectious agents is on the rise, a non‐invasive approach to caries management is critical. To provide information on non‐invasive material selection, the aim of this study was to compare the remineralization effect of commonly used fluoride‐containing materials, adjunctive to the everyday use of fluoride toothpaste (F‐toothpaste), on primary tooth natural dentin caries.MethodsFifty‐five specimens were randomly divided into five groups: 38% silver diamine fluoride (SDF), 5% fluoride varnish (F‐varnish), glass‐ionomer cement (GIC), deionized water (DW) with F‐toothpaste slurry, and DW as a control group (n = 11). The lesion depth and mineral density were measured before and after bacterial pH‐cycling using micro‐computed tomography. The percentage of mineral density change (%MDchange) was quantified. The dependent t‐test, Wilcoxon‐Signed‐Rank Test, and one way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction were used to analyse the data.ResultsSDF application reduced lesion depth from 844.6 to 759.1 μm (p < 0.045) while increasing mineral density from 551.4 to 763.0 mgHA/cm3 (p < 0.003). Only mineral density rose from 600.2 to 678.4 mgHA/cm3 (p < 0.013) when GIC was used. The other groups showed no difference. The highest %MDchange was also found after SDF treatment (49.7%, p < 0.05), whereas GIC (17.2%, p < 0.05) presented a higher percentage than the F‐varnish (2.0%), F‐toothpaste (−1.1%) and no‐treatment groups (−1.4%).ConclusionIn this in vitro study, where the pH of cycling was almost neutral, using SDF as an adjunct to F‐toothpaste resulted in the highest remineralization compared with other remineralizing materials.

SummaryAlicyclobacillus acidoterrestris is a typical endospore‐forming microorganism, whose spores are able to germinate in Not From Concentrate juice causing its spoilage. In this work, dielectric barrier discharge atmospheric cold plasma (DBD‐ACP) at the voltage of 30 kV was used to inactivate Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores in NFC juice (2–8 min). The results showed spores reduced nearly 3‐log CFU mL−1 after 8 min treatment, and the morphology of spores were severely disrupted, causing the release of their contents. Furthermore, proteomic analysis showed totals of 122 and 170 different expression proteins were detected in group C (control)/Ct1 (30 kV, 4 min) and C/Ct2 (30 kV, 8 min), respectively, indicating that metabolic activities of spores including amino acid and energy metabolic, protein biosynthesis, DNA replication and spore germination are inhibited. This study confirms the inactivation of Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris spores by DBD‐ACP and provides some new perspectives on the inactivation mechanisms of spores by DBD‐ACP.

Published: September 2023

AbstractAlthough extant research shows detrimental consequences of workaholism, well‐known workaholism scales have been commented on for the lack of construct clarity and validity. The Multidimensional Workaholism Scale (MWS), a new measure developed in the United States, offers both conceptual and psychometric advantages over previous workaholism scales, yet it has not been fully validated in different countries. This study aimed to adapt the MWS to a Northern European context (i.e., the Netherlands) and examine its factorial, convergent, discriminant, and incremental validity. To evaluate the psychometric properties and validity of the Dutch version of MWS, a sample of 366 Dutch employees was surveyed. The analyses showed that the subdimensions of the Dutch MWS had internal consistency and convergent validity with obsessive passion, workload, and the Dutch Work Addiction Scale. Moreover, the Dutch MWS showed good discriminant validity and modest incremental validity. Researchers in Dutch‐speaking nations can use the Dutch version to learn more about workaholism.
Reactions of applicants with disabilities to technology‐enabled recruitment and selection: A research agenda
Authors: Fisher Sandra L. , Connelly Catherine E. , Bonaccio Silvia 
Published: September 2023

AbstractTechnology‐enabled recruitment and selection technologies, such as chatbots, assessment games, and asynchronous video interviews, are becoming more widely used. However, their impact on people with disabilities is frequently ignored; this has potentially significant implications for the perceived fairness of hiring decisions. We advance eight theoretical propositions on the positive and negative implications of technology‐enabled recruitment and selection technologies for applicant reactions of people with disabilities. Our propositions are based on three key design features of these technologies: separation in time and space, automated administration, and automated evaluation. We provide recommendations for future research and discuss practical implications for the use of advanced technology in recruitment and selection.

ObjectivesWe evaluate the effect of myosteatosis on new‐onset diabetes mellitus after kidney transplantation.MethodsConsecutive patients who had renal transplant between 2006 and 2021 were reviewed, and 219 patients were finally included. Psoas muscle index was used to evaluate sarcopenia and average total psoas density (calculated by computed tomography before surgery) for myosteatosis. We used Cox proportional regression analyses in investigation of whether skeletal muscle depletion before surgery inclusive of sarcopenia and myosteatosis is a new additional predictor of new‐onset diabetes mellitus.ResultsMedian recipient age and body mass index were 45 years and 21.1 kg/m2, respectively, and 123 patients (56%) were male. Preoperative impaired glucose tolerance was present in 58 patients (27%) and new‐onset diabetes mellitus in 30 patients (14%), with median psoas muscle index of 6 cm2/m2 and average total psoas density of 41 Hounsfield Unit. In multivariate analysis, significant risk factors were body mass index ≥25 kg/m2 (p < 0.01), impaired glucose tolerance (p < 0.01), and average total psoas density < 41.9 Hounsfield Unit (p = 0.03). New‐onset diabetes mellitus had incidence rates of 3.7% without risk factors, 10% with a single risk factor, 33% with two, and 60% with three. Patients with new‐onset diabetes mellitus were effectively stratified by the number of risk factors (p < 0.01).ConclusionsMyosteatosis could be a new risk factor used to predict new‐onset diabetes mellitus.
Nurse's knowledge and practice towards prevention of catheter‐associated urinary tract infection: A systematic review
Authors: Alsolami Fatmah , Tayyib Nahla 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCatheter‐associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) is a common complication associated with indwelling urinary catheters, frequently used in healthcare settings. Nurses play a critical role in preventing CAUTI, as they are often responsible for inserting, maintaining and removing urinary catheters. Therefore, it is important to comprehensively assess nurses' level of knowledge about CAUTIs and the variables that influence their application of best practices and recommendations for preventing these infections. The PRISMA principles were used to conduct a literature search for relevant research publications across several online databases (Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE and Scopus). The quality of these studies was evaluated using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. There were 397 research articles, however only 21 articles were included after the screening. The majority of participants possessed diplomas ranging from 3% to 88.2%. In addition, the percentage of nurses with bachelor's degree's ranges from 11.80% to 100%. Moreover, 23.90% of registered nurses hold a master's degree. Most nurses had between 1 and 5 and more than 5 years of experience. Nurses held good/adequate and average knowledge and practices regarding prevention and control of CAUTIs. Furthermore, age, gender, work experience, professional experience, in‐service training, CAUTI prevention guidelines, time, equipment, personnel availability and work unit were all identified barriers. While continuing/in‐service education and self‐guided modules served as facilitators for the prevention of CAUTIs. Meanwhile, studies were found of good methodological quality. Improving nurses' knowledge and practice towards preventing CAUTI is crucial to reducing the prevalence of the infection and improving patient outcomes. Implementing evidence‐based interventions can help bridge the gap in knowledge and practice among nurses, ultimately leading to better patient care and outcomes.

Published: September 2023

AbstractThis study examines the emergence of concurrent correlates of infant pointing frequency with the aim of contributing to its ontogenetic theories. We measured monthly from 8 to 12 months infants' (N = 56) index‐finger pointing frequency along with several candidate correlates: (1) family socioeconomic status (SES), (2) mothers' pointing production, and (3) infants' point following to targets in front of and behind them. Results revealed that (1) infants increased their pointing frequency across age, but high‐SES infants had a steeper increase, and a higher pointing frequency than low‐SES infants from 10 months onward, (2) maternal pointing frequency was not associated with infant pointing frequency at any age, (3) infants' point following abilities to targets behind their visual fields was positively associated with their pointing frequency at 12 months, after pointing had already emerged around 10 months. Findings suggest that family SES impacts infants' pointing development more generally, not just through maternal pointing. The association between pointing and following points to targets behind, but not in front, suggests that a higher level of referential understanding emerges after, and perhaps through the production of pointing.
Positive coparenting previous to the COVID‐19 pandemic can buffer regulatory problems in infants facing the COVID‐19 pandemic
Authors: Pinto Tiago Miguel , Figueiredo Bárbara 
Published: September 2023

AbstractCoparenting can be a development‐enhancing or risk‐promoting environment for infant regulatory capacity, mainly in the presence of adversity. This study aimed to analyze the association between positive and negative coparenting previous to the COVID‐19 pandemic and infant regulatory capacity in the presence of the COVID‐19 pandemic, an adverse condition. A sample of 71 first‐born infants and their mothers and fathers from a longitudinal cohort in Portugal were assessed at 2 weeks postpartum before the COVID‐19 pandemic and again at 6 months postpartum, before (n = 35) or during the COVID‐19 pandemic (n = 36). Parents completed measures of positive and negative coparenting and infant regulatory capacity in both assessment waves. Results revealed that the presence of the COVID‐19 pandemic moderates the association between mothers' and fathers' positive coparenting previous to the COVID‐19 pandemic and infant regulatory capacity at 6 months. The association between positive coparenting and regulatory capacity was stronger in infants facing the COVID‐19 pandemic, than in infants who did not face the COVID‐19 pandemic. Positive coparenting previous to the COVID‐19 pandemic may be a development‐enhancing environment for infant regulatory capacity in the presence of the COVID‐19 pandemic. Positive coparenting may buffer regulatory problems in infants facing adverse conditions.

Published: September 2023

AbstractBackgroundAn ealy first preventive dental visit for children is recommended no later than twelve months. However, still many children have their first dental visit relatively late.AimTo evaluate whether active or passive referral by a well‐child care (WCC) physician of babies for a first preventive dental visit leads to earlier initiation of dental care.DesignFrom WCC clinics in two Dutch regions, 629 parents of babies participated. Parents received an active referral from a WCC physician for a dental visit for their babies (n = 204) or received care as usual (CAU) (n = 136) in one region and a passive referral (n = 143) or CAU (n = 146) in the other region. Active referral involved parents receiving a scheduled appointment at the dental practice, and passive referral involved parents making an appointment themselves. During the WCC visit, parents completed a baseline questionnaire. At age 2.5 years, parents received a follow‐up questionnaire about dental attendance.ResultsOf the active referral intervention group, 59.3% had their first preventive dental visit in their first year compared with 3.7% in the CAU group (p < .001); for the passive referral group, 46.9% compared with 9.6% (p < .001).ConclusionReferral of babies by WCC for their first preventive dental visit leads to earlier initiation of dental care. An active referral had a larger effect than passive referral.

AbstractYouth have an important role in current and future Great Lakes stewardship. Educating youth and empowering them to be Great Lakes stewards requires educators to be knowledgeable and confident, and therefore more likely to engage in teaching Great Lakes literacy activities in their classroom, thus contributing to a Great Lakes‐literate public. The Shipboard Science Workshop (SSW) for educators is a vessel‐based professional learning opportunity aboard the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's research vessel (R/V) Lake Guardian. During the week‐long SSW, educators learn from professional scientists, Sea Grant staff, and each other about Great Lakes research through the lenses of place‐based education (PBE) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). The goals of the SSW are to (1) enhance understanding of scientific concepts, processes, or techniques; (2) influence changes in teaching practices, curriculum, or personal behaviors; (3) influence communication and promotion of pro‐environmental behaviors with others; and (4) establish communities of practice, including educators, scientists, and SSW coordinators. Herein, we present the findings of a 10‐month follow‐up survey to evaluate the SSW efficacy from 2016‐2019. Overall, the SSW appears to have achieved its goals. We discuss the implications of these results within the PBE framework for shifting educators’ classroom approaches and empowering youth inquiry and leadership on complex Great Lakes issues.

AbstractHerd health is one of the key problems influencing the efficiency of the dairy industry. Genetic selection, with a focus on animal health, is important for herd improvement. This study aimed to estimate genetic parameters for health traits and their correlations with fertility and milk production traits in dairy cattle. Based on records from 58,549 lactating cows calved between 2015 and 2021, a total of 24 health traits (six composite health traits and 18 independent health traits), four fertility traits and five milk production traits were analysed. First, linear and threshold animal models were used to estimate the variance components and heritabilities of the health traits. Second, a bivariate linear animal model was used to estimate genetic correlations among all 24 health traits. Finally, a bivariate linear animal model based on records from the first lactation was used to estimate the correlations between health traits and fertility or milk production traits. The results showed that all health traits had low heritabilities, ranging from 0.002 (0.001) to 0.048 (0.004) in the linear model and from <0.001 (0.021) to 0.226 (0.035) in the threshold model. Genetic correlations between health traits across categories were generally low, whereas the relatively high genetic correlations were found between health traits within the same category. In this study, only a few significant and moderate genetic correlations were observed between health traits and fertility or milk production traits. Clinical mastitis showed relatively moderate correlations with fertility traits, ranging from 0.277 (0.113) (interval from first to last insemination) to 0.401 (0.104) (calving interval). Moreover, there were moderate genetic correlations between hoof health and milk production traits. The results from the current study will support balanced dairy breeding to genetically improve disease resistance in dairy cows.
Less is more: A theory of minimalist luxury
Authors: Liu Z. Jessie , Yildirim Pinar , Zhang Z. John 
Published: September 2023

AbstractWe show theoretically that when high‐quality, low‐price counterfeits exist and are visibly indistinguishable from authentic products, the status‐seeking wealthy may embrace a “less is more” purchasing strategy or what we refer to as the minimalist luxury strategy, to signal their status. These are the wealthy who have a high disutility of shopping for counterfeits. Specifically, in our model, only buyers know the authenticity of their own purchases. Because of this information asymmetry, these wealthy buyers may purposefully restrain from consuming luxury goods as a sacrifice of functional utility to stand out, a signaling strategy that the rest are not willing to mimic. Thus, “less” functional utility allows those status‐seeking wealthy to enjoy “more” symbolic utility that the society bestows on their perceived status. This minimalist luxury strategy is in sharp contrast to Veblen's conspicuous consumption strategy, as well as to the maximalist luxury strategy proposed by Liu et al. We derive this minimalist luxury equilibrium, discuss how signaling in our context can differ from that of Veblen and Liu et al., and explore its managerial implications for the luxury goods industry.
Trichite features contribute to the revision of the genus Strombidium (Alveolata, Ciliophora, Spirotricha)
Authors: Agatha Sabine , Weißenbacher Birgit , Kirschner Michael , Ganser Maximilian H. 
Published: September 2023

AbstractStrombidium is a species‐rich genus of oligotrichid ciliates mainly inhabiting the marine pelagial. In molecular phylogenies, the genus emerged as non‐monophyletic, and cladistic analyses suggest that it is largely characterized by plesiomorphies. A reliable split of the genus and the establishment of new genera necessitate, however, support by novel morphological and/or ultrastructural features. In the present study, the arrangement and ultrastructure of trichites are proposed as taxonomically relevant characters. Strombidium biarmatum Agatha et al., 2005 differs in the trichite pattern from the type species Strombidium sulcatum and most congeners. Aside from the trichites inserting anteriorly to the girdle kinety and generating the typical funnel‐shaped complex in the posterior cell portion, the species displays additional trichites between the adoral membranelles even visible in live cells. Here, this exceptional trichite arrangement is detailed based on transmission electron microscopic investigations. In molecular phylogenies, S. biarmatum forms a monophylum with two congeners sharing its trichite arrangement. Therefore, the strombidiid genus Heteropilum nov. gen. is established with S. biarmatum as type species to also include H. paracapitatum (Song et al., 2015) nov. comb. and H. basimorphum (Martin & Montagnes, 1993) nov. comb. Further differences discovered in the trichite ultrastructure support the organelles' taxonomic significance.
Cooked rice safety: A review of status and potential of radiative pasteurization
Authors: Owusu Evans Ameyaw , Luthra Kaushik , Bruce Rebecca , Atungulu Griffiths 
Published: September 2023

AbstractMicrobial contamination in cooked rice‐based foods poses a global concern due to rice's widespread consumption. This review aims to consolidate information on harmful microorganisms associated with such foods from various countries and their adverse effects on consumers. Additionally, it explores the reported causes of microbial contamination in cooked rice‐based dishes and proposes an intervention strategy for safer consumption. The findings highlight that ready‐to‐eat cooked rice‐based foods may harbor unsafe levels of microorganisms like Bacillus cereus, Staphylococcus aureus, and Aspergillus spp. A recommended solution is the application of microwave pasteurization. This method involves cooking rice in pasteurized packaging, minimizing human contact, and effectively controlling harmful microorganisms. Microwave pasteurization emerges as a promising approach to ensure the safe consumption of cooked rice‐based foods by reducing microbial contamination levels.
The family keyworker as a critical element for attachment resilience in the face of adversity
Authors: Berástegui Ana , Pitillas Carlos 
Published: September 2023

AbstractAttachment resilience is the ability of attachment relationships to survive adversity and maintain their functions in the face of stress and is a critical component of personal and family resilience. This property is the result of interactive influences across multiple systems of care. In this way, security is transferred across what we call chains of security. This paper will delve into how family keyworkers (i.e., professionals who are referential and responsible for family intervention plans) function as a critical link within these chains of security for hard‐to‐reach families: first, through attachment‐like relationships that foster attachment resilience within families that are vulnerable or face adversity, and second, as receptors and transmitters of security by means of attachment‐centered supervision. Sensitivity, repair, and mentalization are highlighted as key processes constant across these multisystemic levels.
