PURPOSE Recent increases in incidence and survival of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States have been attributed to human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, but empirical evidence is lacking. PATIENTS AND METHODS HPV status was determined for all 271 oropharyngeal cancers (1984-2004) collected by the three population-based cancer registries in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Residual Tissue Repositories Program by using polymerase chain reaction and genotyping (Inno-LiPA), HPV16 viral load, and HPV16 mRNA expression. Trends in HPV prevalence across four calendar periods were estimated by using logistic regression. Observed HPV prevalence was reweighted to all oropharyngeal cancers within the cancer registries to account for nonrandom selection and to calculate incidence trends. Survival of HPV-positive and HPV-negative patients was compared by using Kaplan-Meier and multivariable Cox regression analyses. RESULTS HPV prevalence in oropharyngeal cancers significantly increased over calendar time regardless of HPV detection assay ( P trend < .05). For example, HPV prevalence by Inno-LiPA increased from 16.3% during 1984 to 1989 to 71.7% during 2000 to 2004. Median survival was significantly longer for HPV-positive than for HPV-negative patients (131 v 20 months; log-rank P < .001; adjusted hazard ratio, 0.31; 95% CI, 0.21 to 0.46). Survival significantly increased across calendar periods for HPV-positive ( P = .003) but not for HPV-negative patients ( P = .18). Population-level incidence of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers increased by 225% (95% CI, 208% to 242%) from 1988 to 2004 (from 0.8 per 100,000 to 2.6 per 100,000), and incidence for HPV-negative cancers declined by 50% (95% CI, 47% to 53%; from 2.0 per 100,000 to 1.0 per 100,000). If recent incidence trends continue, the annual number of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers is expected to surpass the annual number of cervical cancers by the year 2020. CONCLUSION Increases in the population-level incidence and survival of oropharyngeal cancers in the United States since 1984 are caused by HPV infection.
Dynamic Matching: Characterizing and Achieving Constant Regret
Authors: Kerimov Süleyman , Ashlagi Itai , Gurvich Itai 
Published: June 2023

We study how to optimally match agents in a dynamic matching market with heterogeneous match cardinalities and values. A network topology determines the feasible matches in the market. In general, a fundamental tradeoff exists between short-term value—which calls for performing matches frequently—and long-term value—which calls, sometimes, for delaying match decisions in order to perform better matches. We find that in networks that satisfy a general position condition, the tension between short- and long-term value is limited, and a simple periodic clearing policy (nearly) maximizes the total match value simultaneously at all times. Central to our results is the general position gap ϵ; a proxy for capacity slack in the market. With the exception of trivial cases, no policy can achieve an all-time regret that is smaller, in terms of order, than [Formula: see text]. We achieve this lower bound with a policy, which periodically resolves a natural matching integer linear program, provided that the delay between resolving periods is of the order of [Formula: see text]. Examples illustrate the necessity of some delay to alleviate the tension between short- and long-term value. This paper was accepted by David Simchi-Levi, revenue management and market analytics.

Published: June 2023

We exploit a unique data set from the Israeli Professional Football Leagues that provides high-frequency direct measures of players’ effort to estimate effort peer effects in a high-skill collaborative team task. Using two complementary identification strategies, we find robust evidence of substantial positive peer effects. Our findings highlight that effort spillovers play an important role in team production and that even a change in just one worker’s effort can substantially influence team effort and thus performance. Moreover, we present suggestive evidence that behavioral considerations are a relevant mechanism for creating peer effects even in highly skilled teams of workers. This paper was accepted by Yan Chen, behavioral economics and decision analysis. Supplemental Material: The data files are available at https://doi.org/10.1287/mnsc.2023.4811 .
Severe mental illness and ophthalmic health: A linked administrative data study
Authors: Ferry Finola , Rosato Michael , Leavey Gerard 
Published: June 2023

Background
While evidence has emerged highlighting the potential benefits of the eye as a window to the central nervous system, research on severe mental illness (SMI) and eye health is rare.

Aims
We examine the association of SMI with a range of ophthalmic health outcomes, and whether any relationship is modified by age.

Methods
We used linked administrative data from general practitioner (GP), hospital and ophthalmic records to examine receipt of any Health and Social Care (HSC) eye-test; and (based on eligibility recorded for a sight test) any glaucoma, any diabetes, and any blindness among the Northern Ireland (NI) hospital population between January 2015 and November 2019 (N = 798,564).

Results
When compared with non-SMI patients, those with SMI recorded a higher prevalence of having had a sight test, diabetes, and blindness. In fully adjusted logistic regression models, higher likelihood of an eye-test and diabetes (OR = 1.71: 95%CI = 1.63, 1.79 and OR = 1.29: 1.19, 1.40 respectively); and lower likelihood of glaucoma remained (OR = 0.69: 0.53, 0.90). Amongst persons with SMI there was evidence that the likelihood of having had an eye-test was lower in the older age-groups.

Conclusion
Our study provides new evidence on ophthalmic health inequalities associated with SMI. While the study has immediate relevance to its NI context, we believe it is generalizable to wider UK health concerns. We emphasize the need for more research of this type, using large linkable electronic administrative databases to further our understanding of both health inequalities associated with SMI and poor eye health, and health outcomes in general.
Developing Classroom-Based Formative Assessment Literacy: An EFL Teacher’s Journey
Authors: LI Jiayi , Yongqi GU Peter 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Formative assessment has become an increasingly popular topic in educational reform since the publication of Black and Wiliam’s (1998) highly influential review article. In China, formative assessment has been promoted by the Ministry of Education in its curriculum standards for over two decades. A lack of implementation in classrooms has been attributed to the lack of assessment literacy among classroom teachers. A 12-week professional development program was designed and implemented for a group of five secondary school EFL teachers in China aiming at developing their classroom-based formative assessment literacy. The program took the form of collaborative action research in which a researcher joined the teachers to form a community of practice for continuing professional development. This paper focuses on one teacher’s growth in assessment literacy for classroom-based formative assessment. Classroom video recordings and interviews were transcribed and coded using NVivo 12. Baseline data indicated that the teacher lacked the knowledge and beliefs needed to conduct formative assessment. She did not have clear targets for teaching, learning and assessment; and she did not make any targets clear to her students. In addition, the teacher’s assessment practices did not aim to improve student subject core competencies as stipulated in the senior secondary English language curriculum. By the end of the program, the teacher’s knowledge, beliefs and practices in formative assessment were significantly enhanced. In particular, her goal setting for classroom teaching, learning and assessment was intentionally aligned with the development of subject core competencies. More cycles of formative assessment practices were found to help students close the learning gaps and achieve their learning goals. These findings lend encouraging support to the feasibility of teachers developing formative assessment literacy within a continuing professional development framework.

Abstract
This study focuses on investigating the effect of hybrid nanofillers on the hydration characteristics and soil biodegradability of the thermoplastic corn starch (TPCS) hybrid nanofiller biocomposite (TPCS-HB) films. The data were benchmarked with that of the pure TPCS and TPCS single nanofiller biocomposite (TPCS-SB) as control films. The water absorption properties of TPCS, TPCS-SB, and TPCS-HB films were analyzed and fitted with the standard Guggenheim–Anderson–de Boer equation to study the water activity of the films. Besides, the water permeability test, water vapor permeability, and soil biodegradability of the films were also studied and correlated with the films’ surface morphology. The results indicated that the TPCS-HB films possess excellent hydration resistance and comparable biodegradable rate with the TPCS-SB films. The optimal water resistance properties were achieved when the optimal ratio of nanobentonite/nanocellulose (4:1) was incorporated into the TPCS matrix. The outcomes of this study provide an innovative idea and new insights that, by using natural and hybrid nanofillers, the hydrophobicity of the TPCS films could be enhanced. TPCS-HB films show great potential to be developed into a fully green biodegradable TPCS biocomposite film, especially for single-use plastic applications.
Quantitative ultrasound to assess efficacy of treatment for neck somatic dysfunctions: a feasibility study
Authors: Tran Anthony , Ngo Thien , Roberts Tanner , Ko Eric , Holmgren Jackson G. , Edwards Chris , Coleman Michele , Gao Jing 
Published: June 2023

Abstract

Context
Neck pain is a common complaint in healthcare clinics. Although the pathogenesis of neck pain is often multifactorial, trapezius muscle dysfunction has been commonly linked to neck pain. Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment modality in treating trapezius muscle dysfunction and neck pain. However, there is a current lack of objective, quantitative measures to assess the effectiveness of OMT. Through previous research, ultrasound technology has been shown to be promising in its ability to quantify tissue changes both pre- and post-OMT.

Objectives
The objectives of this study are to evaluate the feasibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) in assessing upper trapezius muscles with pain and hypertonicity, as well as the changes in these muscles post-OMT for cervical somatic dysfunctions.

Methods
After obtaining approval from the Rocky Vista University Institutional Review Board and written informed consent from participants, SWE and osteopathic assessments were performed on 22 adult participants with and without cervical spine somatic dysfunction. Participants with positive osteopathic assessments of tissue texture, asymmetry, restricted motion, and/or tenderness (TART) were treated utilizing OMT. Shear wave velocity (SWV, m/s) and shear wave velocity rate [SWVR = (SWV contraction – SWV relaxation)/ SWV relaxation] of the upper trapezius muscles with and without pain and hypertonicity, and before and after OMT, were examined utilizing a two-tailed t-test.

Results
SWV in muscle contraction and SWVR were significantly lower in muscles with pain compared to muscles without pain (p≤0.01). SWV in muscle contraction was also significantly lower in hypertonic muscles compared to normotonic muscles (p<0.01). Following OMT, SWV in muscle contraction and SWVR in muscles with pain and hypertonic increased significantly (p≤0.01). Overall TART score of all muscles with somatic dysfunction (SD) after OMT significantly decreased (p<0.01). SWV in muscle contraction and SWVR in hypertonic muscles were also significantly increased (p≤0.03), with an improvement index of 0.11 and 0.20.

Conclusions
This study’s results demonstrate the feasibility of utilizing SWE to evaluate somatic dysfunctions of the upper trapezius musculature and the efficacy of OMT for neck somatic dysfunctions.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The development of citizen-based approaches to the diagnosis and decision-making on urban noise environments responds to a demand from both local authorities and residents. However, the methods for fostering the involvement of citizens and the valorization of local knowledge have yet to be invented. This article reports on a co-constructed experiment between researchers and local authorities, in the city of Rezé (France), of an urban noise diagnosis based on the residents and the use of the smartphone application NoiseCapture, which allows a participative measurement of sound levels. The framework also includes focus group discussions. The dynamics of the recruitment and data collection phase are analysed, showing the importance of creating public events around the initiative. Maps of noise levels, but also of the presence of sound sources, such as road, rail and air traffic, or animals, are produced in a collaborative way. Finally, the focus group discussions highlight that (i) repeated noise measurement modifies participants’ relationship to sound environments; (ii) NoiseCapture enhances the formation of a group of residents active on noise issues. Such a framework can provide a citizen-based basis for decisions on noise environments; the next step will be to study its adaptability to different territories.

Abstract
The graphene-based materials have been used as a potential coating material for nanoparticles due to their excellent passivation. Herein, we report for the first time the colloidal stability, photothermal profile, thermal stability, cytotoxicity, and photo-cytotoxicity of graphene quantum dots (GQDs) coupled with the second infrared window (NIR-II) absorbing gold nanorods (AuNRs/GQDs) and compare it to graphene oxide (GO)-coated NIR-II absorbing AuNRs (AuNRs/GO). The composites were achieved by electrostatic interaction of the GO or GQDs with AuNRs. The results revealed that (i) AuNRs/GQDs were more stable in the aqueous phosphate buffer and cell culture media than AuNRs/GO and AuNRs; (ii) GO enhanced the photothermal efficiency of the AuNRs, whereas GQDs reduced it; (iii) GQDs enhanced the photothermal stability of AuNRs than GO; (iv) both AuNRs/GO and AuNRs/GQDs were biocompatible with mouse colon carcinoma (C26) cell lines and malignant fibrous histiocytoma‐like, expressing a fusion of the luciferase and enhanced green fluorescent protein genes (KM-Luc/GFP) cell lines; and (v) photo-cytotoxicity of AuNRs/GO and AuNRs/GQDs conducted against C26 cell lines showed significantly improved cell death compared to laser irradiation alone; however, AuNRs/GO exhibited high photo-toxicity than AuNRs/GQDs. This study shows that AuNRs/GO and AuNRs/GQDs composites possess unique properties to improve AuNRs and be utilised in photothermal applications.
In NATO We Trust(?): The Russian Invasion of Ukraine and EU27 Citizens’ Trust in NATO
Authors: Economou Athina , Kollias Christos 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Institutional trust is trust in state’s institutions and organizations. Institutional trust also involves trust towards international and intergovernmental organizations such as the UN, the EU and NATO. Institutional trust includes citizens’ trust towards the national security apparatus or security providing organizations such as NATO. The 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine is a major event with wide-ranging momentous political, economic and strategic ramifications. The latter affect European states’ security and defence. Such important events impact citizens’ risk-perceptions (in)security sentiments and hence their trust towards institutions assigned with the task of providing security. The paper examines how the Russian invasion has affected European citizens’ trust towards NATO. To probe into the issue, it uses data from two Eurobarometer surveys. A survey that took place just before the invasion in January and February 2022 and a survey that took place in June and July. A similar to regression discontinuity empirical setup is adopted to examine how European citizens’ trust towards NATO was impacted by the invasion. The empirical findings reported herein are not uniform across all EU member-countries and indicate noteworthy differences on trust towards NATO as a result of the Russian invasion. Nonetheless, on balance, a statistically significant effect is traced by the estimated regressions.
Age and gender differentials in unemployment and hysteresis
Authors: Guisinger Amy Y. , Jackson Laura E. , Owyang Michael T. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
We use a time-varying panel unobserved components model to estimate unemployment gaps disaggregated by age and gender. Recessions before COVID affected men’s labor market outcomes more than women’s; however, the reverse was true for the COVID recession, with effects amplified for younger workers. We introduce time-variation in both the hysteresis dynamics and the Phillips-curve coefficients on labor market slack. The aggregate Phillips curve flattens over time and hysteresis is countercyclical for all groups. We find heterogeneity in both the Phillips curve and hysteresis coefficients, with wages responding more to workers with an outside option (high school- and retirement-age) and larger effects of hysteresis for younger workers.
Single batch co-production of Pseudomonad polyhydroxybutyrate and rhamnolipids on wasted cooking oil under salinity stress
Authors: Raza Zulfiqar Ali , Tariq Muhammad Rizwan 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are emerging biodegradable bioplastics, and rhamnolipids are sustainable biosurfactants; both are considered as alternatives to synthetic petroleum-based plastics and surfactants, respectively. Herein, the effects of three distinct nitrogen sources on PHAs and rhamnolipid yields during the fermentation process have been undertaken. The study focuses on the optimum co-production of PHAs and rhamnolipid using a Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain grown on wasted soybean oil (WSO) with different nitrogen sources in the minimal salts’ media under salinity stress with shake flask conditions. The yields of PHAs and rhamnolipids were observed to be 2.20 g L−1 and 1.02 g L−1, respectively, with carbamide as the sole nitrogen and WSO (2 %, w/v) as the sole carbon source. The fermentative yields of both PHAs (2.37 g L−1) and rhamnolipids (1.24 g L−1) roughly increased up to 8 % under salinity stress. The products were characterized using advanced analytical techniques. The chemical structure of rhamnolipid with this strain had previously been elucidated, whereas the PHA produced was identified as a poly(hydroxybutyrate).
„Wie jeder normale Mensch auch“. Die Genese des Verdachts in rechtlichen Grauzonen im Kontext proaktiver polizeilicher Personenkontrollen
Authors: Thurn Roman , Fährmann Jan , Aden Hartmut , Bosch Alexander 
Published: June 2023

ZusammenfassungDer deutschen Polizei wird durch verschiedene gefahrenabwehr- und auch strafprozessrechtliche Regelungen die Möglichkeit eröffnet, proaktiv und unter bestimmten Umständen anlassunabhängig Personen zu kontrollieren. Dabei steht sie immer wieder in der Kritik, nach rassistischen Kriterien Personen für eine Kontrolle zu selektieren. Dieser Beitrag untersucht aus einer rechtssoziologischen Perspektive, welcher gesetzliche Entscheidungsspielraum für die Auswahl zur Kontrolle besteht und nach welchen Kriterien die Polizei hierfür selektiert. Hierfür wurden Gruppendiskussionen und Interviews mit Polizeibeamt*innen und Betroffenen von Personenkontrollen sowie teilnehmende Beobachtungen durchgeführt. Wir rekonstruieren die polizeiliche Verdachtsgenese als einen In-/Kongruenzprozess: Dabei orientiert sich der polizeiliche Verdacht im Kontext proaktiver Kontrollen am Verhalten der betreffenden Person, an personenbezogenen Merkmalen wie dem Alter, Geschlecht oder der zugeschriebenen Ethnizität, und dem Ort bzw. Raum ihres Antreffens. Wenn Beamt*innen diese verschiedenen Merkmale als in sich kongruent, bzw. als inkongruent mit polizeilichen Ordnungsvorstellungen wahrnehmen, identifizieren sie die Person als verdächtig. Diese Identifikationsleistung verdichtet sich in ihrer ‚Berufs- und Lebenserfahrung‘. Diese bleibt jedoch als Grundlage für Maßnahmen häufig intransparent und ist weitgehend resistent gegenüber etwaigen Irritationen. Die Polizei bewegt sich damit in einem rechtlichen Graubereich, der höchst anfällig ist für diskriminierende Formen desprofiling.
