Quantifying model selection uncertainty via bootstrapping and Akaike weights
Authors: Rigdon Edward , Sarstedt Marko , Moisescu Ovidiu‐Ioan 
Published: February 2023

AbstractPicking one ‘winner’ model for researching a certain phenomenon while discarding the rest implies a confidence that may misrepresent the evidence. Multimodel inference allows researchers to more accurately represent their uncertainty about which model is ‘best’. But multimodel inference, with Akaike weights—weights reflecting the relative probability of each candidate model—and bootstrapping, can also be used to quantify model selection uncertainty, in the form of empirical variation in parameter estimates across models, while minimizing bias from dubious assumptions. This paper describes this approach. Results from a simulation example and an empirical study on the impact of perceived brand environmental responsibility on customer loyalty illustrate and provide support for our proposed approach.
A Christological Problem of Epectasy
Authors: Walker‐Lenow Joseph 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThis paper argues that the theological and anthropological assumptions underlying Gregory of Nyssa's doctrine of epectasy, an understanding of our eschatological state as one of perpetual growth in the love of God, mandate a christological conclusion that many will find undesirable: there will come a time in the course of eternal life at which each of the redeemed come to love the Father more than Christ did on the cross as he offered his life for the life of the world, and more than Christ did on Easter Sunday as he conquered death.
Do childcare policies and schedule control enhance variable time workers' work–life balance? A gender analysis across European countries
Authors: Kim Ji Hyun , Choi Young Jun 
Published: February 2023

AbstractVariable time work is no longer abnormal in the post‐industrial economy and is accelerating due to digitisation and the COVID‐19 pandemic. Previous studies have revealed a causal relationship between working time variability and work–life balance at the individual level; however, there has been less discussion of the role of the institutional context. This study examines the interplay among childcare policy, schedule control, and its relationship with work–life balance. We conducted a multilevel analysis using the European Working Conditions Survey. The analyses revealed that childcare policy has a U‐shaped relationship with work–life balance for female variable time workers without schedule control. In contrast, workers with schedule control and male workers did not have a curvilinear relationship with the outcome. Our analyses imply that sufficient childcare intervention and its interaction with schedule control are necessary to offset the negative effect of childcare services on work–life balance.
Nature‐mimicking layering with composite resins through a bio‐inspired analysis: 25 years of the polychromatic technique
Authors: Ricci Weber Adad , Fahl Newton 
Published: February 2023

AbstractObjectivesFor decades, the dental community has discussed which materials would be the ideal substitutes for lost tooth structure. Initially, the biomimetic approach advocated that feldspathic ceramics would be the material of choice for enamel. However, given the complexity of obtaining excellent dental technicians and the financial cost, are composite resins a suitable replacement? The optical properties with opalescence and fluorescence effects, as well as this material's high fracture toughness, indicate it as a long‐lasting restorative material. However, because this material depends on the operator's expertise, knowledge of layering techniques and the selection of each material for the different layers is required. Thus, knowledge of the polychromatic technique through a bioinspired approach is necessary to obtain results of life‐like restorations. This article aims to review the polychromatic layering technique (PLT), considering the optical and mechanical properties of dentin and enamel and correlating these properties with current composite resins to guide clinicians in selecting the most suitable restoratives for their clinical challenges.Clinical ConsiderationsThe polychromatic layering technique is revisited, cross‐referencing the properties of dentin and enamel with current composite resin restoratives and their biomimetic properties. The effectiveness and predictability of the PLT are corroborated in clinical cases of varying degrees of difficulty requiring different layering strategies.ConclusionAfter the bio‐inspired analysis, using nature as a model to be understood and followed, it is possible to note how the polychromatic technique remains current and viable in mimicking nature, providing esthetic and natural results in the layering of composite resins.Clinical SignificanceComposite resins effectively replicate the optical and mechanical characteristics of natural dentin and enamel through the bioinspired approach presented by the polychromatic layering technique.

AbstractBackground and AimPhysical activity confers health benefits in many diseases but remains almost unstudied for cirrhosis.We investigated whether a period of resistance training affects the subsequent long‐term risk of hospitalization or mortality among patients with cirrhosis.MethodsThe study includes 39 participants with cirrhosis Child–Pugh class A/B who participated in a prior clinical trial randomized to either resistance training three times per week for 12 weeks or a control group. We gathered data through medical records from trial entry and the following 3 years. The outcomes were time to first hospitalization and all‐cause mortality. We used regression models to examine the associations between trial groups and outcomes, adjusting for Child–Pugh class, age, gender, and comorbidity.ResultsNine patients who trained and 15 controls were hospitalized, resulting in a lower risk of first hospitalization in the training group (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio of 0.40, 95% confidence interval [CI] [0.17, 0.92]; P = 0.03). One patient who trained and six controls died, resulting in a lower all‐cause mortality in the training group (adjusted hazard ratio of 0.06, 95% CI [0.01, 0.66]; P = 0.02).ConclusionTwelve weeks of resistance training was associated with a reduced risk of first hospitalization and mortality among patients with cirrhosis Child–Pugh class A/B 3 years after trial entry. The mechanisms of this effect are not identified, and larger studies are warranted.

AbstractBackgroundIt appears that students with intellectual disability (ID) are more frequently absent from school compared with students without ID. The objective of the current study was to estimate the frequency of absence among students with ID and the reasons for absence. Potential reasons included the attendance problems referred to as school refusal, where absence is related to emotional distress; truancy, where absence is concealed from parents; school exclusion, where absence is instigated by the school; and school withdrawal, where absence is initiated by parents.MethodsStudy participants were 629 parents (84.6% mothers) of Australian school students (Mage = 11.18 years; 1.8% Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander) with an ID. Participants completed a questionnaire battery that included the School Non‐Attendance ChecKlist via which parents indicated the reason their child was absent for each day or half‐day absence their child had over the past 20 school days. The absence data presented to parents had been retrieved from school records.ResultsAcross all students, absence occurred on 7.9% of the past 20 school days. In terms of school attendance problems as defined in existing literature, school withdrawal accounted for 11.1% of absences and school refusal for 5.3% of absences. Students were also absent for other reasons, most commonly illness (32.0%) and appointments (24.2%). Of students with more than one absence (n = 217; 34.5%), about half were absent for more than one reason. Students attending mainstream schools had lower attendance than those attending special schools.ConclusionsStudents with ID were absent for a range of reasons and often for multiple reasons. There were elevated rates of school withdrawal and school refusal. Understanding the reasons for absenteeism can inform targeted prevention and intervention supports.
Local Experiences, Search, and Spillovers in the Housing Market

Published: February 2023

ABSTRACTRecent local price growth explains differences in search behavior across prospective homebuyers. Those experiencing higher growth in their postcode of residence search more broadly across locations and house characteristics, without changing attention devoted to individual sales listings, and have shorter search duration. Effects are stronger for homeowners, in particular those living in less wealthy areas and looking for a new primary residence. We use reduced‐form analysis and a quantitative equilibrium model to show that the expansion of search breadth translates into widespread spillovers onto house sales prices and inventories of listings across postcodes within a metropolitan area.

AbstractTrophic rewilding is increasingly applied in restoration efforts, with the aim of reintroducing the ecological functions provided by large‐bodied mammals and thereby promote self‐regulating, biodiverse ecosystems. However, empirical evidence for the effects of megafauna introductions on the abundance and richness of other organisms such as plants and invertebrates, and the mechanisms involved still need strengthening. In this study, we use environmental DNA (eDNA) metabarcoding of dung from co‐existing feral cattle and horses to assess the seasonal variation in plant diet and dung‐associated arthropods and nematodes. We found consistently high diet richness of horses, with low seasonal variability, while the generally lower dietary diversity of cattle increased substantially during summer. Intriguingly, season‐specific diets differed, with a greater proportion of trees in the horses' diet during winter, where cattle relied more on shrubs. Graminoids were predominantly found in the diet of horses, but were generally underrepresented compared to previous studies, possibly due to the high prevalence of forbs in the study area. Dung‐associated arthropod richness was higher for cattle, largely due to a high richness of flies during summer. Several species of dung‐associated arthropods were found primarily in dung from one of the two herbivores, and our data confirmed known patterns of seasonal activity. Nematode richness was constantly higher for horses, and nematode communities were markedly different between the two species. Our results demonstrate complementary effects of cattle and horses through diet differences and dung‐associated invertebrate communities, enhancing our understanding of large herbivore effects on vegetation and associated biodiversity. These results are directly applicable for decision‐making in rewilding projects, suggesting biodiversity‐benefits by inclusion of functionally different herbivores.

AbstractBackgroundEumycetoma is a chronic subcutaneous inflammatory fungal infection most often caused by the fungus Madurella mycetomatis. Using a species‐specific PCR on DNA directly isolated from grains is currently the most reliable method for species identification. However, so far, PCR has been performed on grains obtained through deep‐seated surgical biopsies, which are invasive procedures. Grains can also be obtained via ultrasound‐guided fine‐needle aspiration (US‐FNA). Here we determined the diagnostic performance of species‐specific PCRs performed on samples obtained through US‐FNA.MethodsFrom 63 patients, US‐FNA was performed to obtain eumycetoma grains; 34 patients also underwent a deep‐seated biopsy. From the grains, DNA was isolated, and one pan‐fungal and two M. mycetomatis‐specific PCRs were performed. The sensitivity and specificity were determined.ResultsOf the 63 patients who underwent US‐FNA, 78% (49/63) had evidence of eumycetoma based on cytology and 93.7% (59/63) based on species‐specific PCRs. In the 34 patients for whom surgical biopsies were performed as well, 31 patients had a positive PCR for M. mycetomatis when DNA was isolated from the deep‐seated biopsy, and 30 had a positive PCR when DNA was obtained from the US‐FNA material. This resulted in a 96.8% sensitivity, and 100% specificity with 97.1% diagnostic accuracy for PCR performed on US‐FNA.ConclusionPCR performed on the US‐FNA material has a similar sensitivity and specificity as PCR performed on deep‐seated biopsies. Therefore, when using PCR, a deep‐seated biopsy may not be necessary to obtain grains.

AbstractBackgroundThe prognostic factors for cure have been derived from cases of dermatophyte onychomycosis. However, there are limited studies in non‐dermatophyte onychomycosis. Neoscytalidium dimidiatum is the common causative agents of non‐dermatophyte onychomycosis which has proven to be recalcitrant to treatment.ObjectiveThis retrospective cohort study investigated mycological cure and prognostic factors in Neoscytalidium onychomycosis patients.MethodsPatients aged 18 or older with newly diagnosed Neoscytalidium onychomycosis were enrolled. All patients were treated and followed up for at least 1 year. Mycological cure was analysed with Cox proportional hazard regression. The hazard ratios (HRs) of previously reported potential prognostic factors were included in univariable and multivariable stratified Cox regression analyses.ResultsFrom total 198 patients, mycological cure was achieved in 108 (54.6%) patients with a median of 490 (± SD 62.2) days. The poor prognostic factors for mycological cure were age ≥ 70 years (HR, 0.63; 95% CI, 0.41–0.97; p = .034); nail thickness ≥2 mm (HR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.11–0.35; p < .001); and peripheral vascular disease (HR, 0.46; 95% CI, 0.28–0.77; p = .003). Combination therapy was associated with achieving a mycological cure (HR, 2.55; 95% CI, 1.49–4.38; p < .001).ConclusionsApproximately half of the patients with onychomycosis caused by Neoscytalidium dimidiatum achieved a mycological cure, with a median time to cure exceeding 1 year. Combined topical and systemic antifungal treatments yield a higher chance of mycological cure than monotherapies. Advanced age, nail thickness and peripheral vascular disease are obstacle factors to cure.

AbstractBackgroundThe combination of prone positioning and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is recognized as safe but its use has been limited due to potential complications.AimTo report the prevalence of pressure ulcers and other complications due to prone positioning in adult patients receiving veno–venous ECMO.Study DesignThis cross‐sectional study was conducted in a tertiary level intensive care unit (ICU) in Milan (Italy), between January 2015 and December 2019. The study population was critically ill adult patients undergoing veno–venous ECMO. Statistical association between pressure ulcers and the type of body positioning (prone versus supine) was explored fitting a logistic model.ResultsIn the study period, 114 patients were treated with veno–venous ECMO and 62 (54.4%) patients were placed prone for a total of 130 prone position cycles. ECMO cannulation was performed via femoro–femoral configuration in the majority of patients (82.4%, 94/114). Pressure ulcers developed in 57.0% of patients (95%CI: 44.0%–72.6%), most often arising on the face and the chin (37.1%, 23/62), particularly in those placed prone. The main reason of prone positioning interruption was the decrease of ECMO blood flow (8.1%, 5/62). The fitted model showed no association between body position during ECMO and occurrence of pressure ulcers (OR 1.3, 95%CI: 0.5–3.6, p = .532).ConclusionsFacial pressure ulcers were the most frequent complications of prone positioning. Nurses should plan and implement evidence‐based care to prevent such pressure injuries in patients undergoing ECMO.Relevance to Clinical PracticeThe combination of prone positioning and ECMO shows few life‐threating complications. This manoeuvre during ECMO is feasible and safe when performed by experienced ICU staff.
The epigenetic landscape of oligodendrocyte lineage cells
Authors: Selcen Ipek , Prentice Emily , Casaccia Patrizia 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe epigenetic landscape of oligodendrocyte lineage cells refers to the cell‐specific modifications of DNA, chromatin, and RNA that define a unique gene expression pattern of functionally specialized cells. Here, we focus on the epigenetic changes occurring as progenitors differentiate into myelin‐forming cells and respond to the local environment. First, modifications of DNA, RNA, nucleosomal histones, key principles of chromatin organization, topologically associating domains, and local remodeling will be reviewed. Then, the relationship between epigenetic modulators and RNA processing will be explored. Finally, the reciprocal relationship between the epigenome as a determinant of the mechanical properties of cell nuclei and the target of mechanotransduction will be discussed. The overall goal is to provide an interpretative key on how epigenetic changes may account for the heterogeneity of the transcriptional profiles identified in this lineage.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundAn in‐depth understanding of the epidemiology of ill or injured children transported between hospitals is crucial in building regional medical transport services in public health. Although the epidemiological situation varies by nation and region, it has not been well documented in Japan. In this report we described the number of pediatric interhospital transportations and examined the regional variations and trends in the recent decade.MethodsWe performed repeated, cross‐sectional analyses of children (<15 years) undergoing interhospital transportation in 2010, 2013, and 2016–19, using the national database of public ambulances of the Fire and Disaster Management Agency in Japan. We stratified the cases into critical care transport (CCT) or non‐critical care transport (NonCCT) by the illness/injury severity of the transported children. We calculated the national population‐adjusted number of CCTs and described prefectural variations in CCT numbers with analytical thinking.ResultsThere were 23,506 CCTs and 138,347 NonCCTs. The national average of population‐adjusted CCT numbers was 255 per 1,000,000 person‐years. The statistics varied by prefectures, ranging from 25–536 per 1,000,000 person‐years. The annual trends were also diverse across prefectures, increasing in nine, decreasing in six, and static in 31 prefectures. In analytical thinking of regional variations, potential contributing factors included available interhospital transport services and the threshold of direct admission and referral to tertiary‐care hospitals, whereas regional variations were not well associated with geographical patterns or population size.ConclusionsPublic ambulance services were substantially used for CCTs and NonCCTs in Japan. Regional variations should be taken into account for the future policymaking on pediatric interhospital transportation.
Intergenerational relationships and marriage in China: Within‐family longitudinal associations and between‐family differences

AbstractMarriage is embedded in the web of spouses' broader social ties, and relationship quality with parents and parents‐in‐law is associated with marital quality. Guided by Family Systems theory and using three waves of dyadic data from 268 Chinese different‐sex couples across the first several years of marriage, we first conducted a Random‐Intercept Actor‐Partner Interdependence Cross‐lagged Panel Model (RI‐APIM‐CLPM) to examine the within‐family longitudinal associations among husbands' and wives' relationship quality with parents, parents‐in‐law, and spouse. Then, husbands' and wives' filial obligations were added as predictors of between‐family differences in their own and their partner's relationship quality in the three social ties. Among husbands, increased relationship quality in one social tie (e.g., with parents) predicted reductions in relationship quality in the other social ties (e.g., relationships with parents‐in‐law and marital quality). Our examination of between‐family differences demonstrated that high levels of filial obligations predicted higher intergenerational relationship quality and marital quality. By simultaneously considering the within‐family associations of multiple social ties and how filial obligations account for between‐family differences in relationship quality, we contribute to a nuanced understanding of how Chinese couples' romantic partnerships are embedded in their broader family system.
