AbstractObjectivesThe Universal Coverage Health Scheme (UCS) was implemented in Thailand in 2002 to increase access to health services among the Thai population. This study aimed to evaluate socioeconomic inequalities in dental service utilization (DU) before and after UCS implementation and to assess factors associated with DU among Thai adults.MethodsThis study is based on secondary data from four Thai national oral health surveys in 2000–2001, 2006–2007, 2012 and 2017. Whether an individual from a nationally representative sample of Thai adults aged 35–44 went to see the dentist during the past year was used to define DU. The slope index of inequality (SII) and relative index of inequality (RII) were used to assess and compare education and income‐related inequalities in DU. Poisson regression was used to assess factors associated with DU. Income inequalities were not reported for the year 2001 (Income data not available).ResultsAlthough DU increased after UCS implementation, socioeconomic inequalities persisted. DU was concentrated among high‐education and income groups. Absolute educational inequalities were 0.16 (95% CI: 0.09–0.22), 0.21 (95% CI: 0.10–0.32), 0.26 (95% CI: 0.14–0.38) and 0.25 (95% CI: 0.18–0.32) in 2001, 2007, 2012 and 2017, respectively. Absolute income inequalities were 0.15 (95% CI: 0.04–0.26), 0.07 (95% CI: −0.04‐0.18) and 0.12 (95% CI: 0.05–0.19) in 2007, 2012 and 2017, respectively. Occupation, type of health insurance scheme, sex and oral health‐related behaviour were associated with DU.ConclusionUCS has improved accessibility to dental services, but UCS alone might not narrow the inequalities gap for Thai adults.
From being ignored to engaging in dialogue: Young boys' narratives of children's participation in child–parent conflicts
Authors: Lahtinen Maria , Böök Marja Leena , Sevón Eija 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThis paper examines children's opportunities to participate in everyday child–parent conflicts as revealed in young boys' fictional narratives. The data were collected from 19 boys aged 3–6 years using the Story Magician's Play Time method. Narrative analysis yielded four story types: ignored participation stories, parent‐directed participation stories, child‐directed participation stories and dialogical participation stories. The study illustrates that when considering children's participation in child–parent conflicts, differences between children in their opportunities to participate in resolving conflicts should be taken into account. The boys' stories draw attention to the importance of children's right to a voice and influence in child–parent conflicts.
“For me, speaking about the past is the best in the world, for them, the worst”: Social landscapes and territories of memory from displaced Colombian children

AbstractThe text analyses the memory of displacements of Colombian children, as a result of the armed conflict. To this end, a study was developed with 12 children, between the age of 8 and 12 years, and 5 mothers, belonging from rural areas from North Colombia, now living in Bogota periphery, who where displaced between 2008 and 2015. Visual methodologies (drawings, photography s and especially Google street view) were used to prompt children in articulating live narratives about the experience of displacement, as well as interviews with mothers. Children's memories where characterized by being spatially situated, making use of imagination and bodily experience on their narratives about the past. Differently from their mothers, children expressed the necessity to speak about the past, showing an idyllic perspective about their belonged territories and a profound sense of loss. The study reveals that children are active survivors, that constructed strategies of resistance against displacement in their daily lives, as well as agency in the production of narratives about the lived experience. Moreover, the study put focus on the importance to consider children, like adults, assubjects of memory, that give sense about themselves on the production of narratives.
Is it Possible to Preserve a Language using only Data?

Published: June 2023

AbstractMany of our spoken languages are endangered and rapidly becoming extinct. Due to this, there are attempts to preserve as many of those languages as possible. One preservation approach is combining data collection and artificial intelligence‐based language models. However, current data collection methods may only capture static data from a dynamic cognitive process. If data are not genuinely capturing the dynamic process, it raises questions about whether they capture all the essential knowledge about how a language functions. Here, we discuss the implications of this issue and its importance in preserving endangered languages.

AbstractRapid individual cognitive phenotyping holds the potential to revolutionize domains as wide‐ranging as personalized learning, employment practices, and precision psychiatry. Going beyond limitations imposed by traditional lab‐based experiments, new efforts have been underway toward greater ecological validity and participant diversity to capture the full range of individual differences in cognitive abilities and behaviors across the general population. Building on this, we developed Skill Lab, a novel game‐based tool that simultaneously assesses a broad suite of cognitive abilities while providing an engaging narrative. Skill Lab consists of six mini‐games as well as 14 established cognitive ability tasks. Using a popular citizen science platform (N = 10,725), we conducted a comprehensive validation in the wild of a game‐based cognitive assessment suite. Based on the game and validation task data, we constructed reliable models to simultaneously predict eight cognitive abilities based on the users’ in‐game behavior. Follow‐up validation tests revealed that the models can discriminate nuances contained within each separate cognitive ability as well as capture a shared main factor of generalized cognitive ability. Our game‐based measures are five times faster to complete than the equivalent task‐based measures and replicate previous findings on the decline of certain cognitive abilities with age in our large cross‐sectional population sample (N = 6369). Taken together, our results demonstrate the feasibility of rapid in‐the‐wild systematic assessment of cognitive abilities as a promising first step toward population‐scale benchmarking and individualized mental health diagnostics.

AbstractIn the current study, to obtain environmentally friendly printed cotton fabrics with a clear contour edge, ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EGDE) as a crosslinking agent and guar gum as a thickener were used with natural madder dye. The solid content of the thickener was assessed to determine the optimal viscosity of the printing paste. Scanning electron microscopy images and colour depth (K/S) values were used to analyse the surface morphology and printing properties. The pattern outline of the printed cotton fabric was assessed with an optical microscope. Also, the overall fastness properties of the printed fabrics were evaluated. The results showed that when the solid content of guar gum was 2.5%, the viscosity of the printing paste was close to 10 000 mPa.s, which was suitable for printing cotton fabrics. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that most of the printing paste was removed during the washing process, and did not affect the microstructure of the cotton fabric. Compared with direct printed cotton fabrics, the K/S values of mordant and crosslinked printed cotton fabrics increased by 3.12 and 4.01, respectively. In the optical microscopy photographs, the mordant and crosslinked printed cotton fabrics displayed a clear outline sharpness of the printed pattern, and excellent printed products were obtained. The colour fastness to washing, rubbing and light of the crosslinked printed cotton fabric were significantly improved, reaching levels of 4‐5.

AbstractBackgroundAcute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent adverse outcome following liver transplantation (LT) with a multifactorial etiology. It is critical to identify modifiable risk factors to mitigate the risk. One key area of interest is the role of intraoperative hypotension, which remains relatively unexplored in liver transplant cohorts.MethodsThis was a retrospective observational cohort study of 1292 adult patients who underwent LT (between 2009 and 2019). Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to explore the association between intraoperative hypotension, quantified by time duration (in min) under various mean arterial pressure (MAP) thresholds, and the primary outcome of early postoperative AKI according to the KDIGO criteria.ResultsAKI occurred in 40% of patients and was independently associated with greater than 20 min spent below MAP thresholds of 55 mm Hg (adjusted OR = 1.866; 95% CI = 1.037–3.44; P = 0.041) and 50 mm Hg (adjusted OR = 1.801; 95% CI = 1.087–2.992; P = 0.023). Further sensitivity analyses demonstrated that the association between intraoperative hypotension and postoperative AKI was accentuated after restricting the analysis to patients with a normal preoperative renal function.ConclusionsProlonged (>20 min) intraoperative hypotension (below a MAP of 55 mm Hg) was independently associated with AKI following LT, after adjusting for several known confounders.

AbstractDespite complex pathways of drug disposition, clinical pharmacogenetic predictors currently rely on only a few high effect variants. Quantification of the polygenic contribution to variability in drug disposition is necessary to prioritize target drugs for pharmacogenomic approaches and guide analytic methods. Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl, often used in postoperative care of pediatric patients, have high rates of inter‐individual variability in dosing requirements. Analyzing previously generated population pharmacokinetic parameters, we used Bayesian hierarchical mixed modeling to measure narrow‐sense (additive) heritability () of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl clearance in children and identify relative contributions of small, moderate, and large effect‐size variants to . We used genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) to identify variants contributing to variation in dexmedetomidine and fentanyl clearance, followed by functional analyses to identify associated pathways. For dexmedetomidine, median clearance was 33.0 L/h (interquartile range [IQR] 23.8–47.9 L/h) and was estimated to be 0.35 (90% credible interval 0.00–0.90), with 45% of attributed to large‐, 32% to moderate‐, and 23% to small‐effect variants. The fentanyl cohort had median clearance of 8.2 L/h (IQR 4.7–16.7 L/h), with estimated of 0.30 (90% credible interval 0.00–0.84). Large‐effect variants accounted for 30% of , whereas moderate‐ and small‐effect variants accounted for 37% and 33%, respectively. As expected, given small sample sizes, no individual variants or pathways were significantly associated with dexmedetomidine or fentanyl clearance by GWAS. We conclude that clearance of both drugs is highly polygenic, motivating the future use of polygenic risk scores to guide appropriate dosing of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl.

AbstractFamilial risk for developmental dyslexia can compromise auditory and speech processing and subsequent language and literacy development. According to the phonological deficit theory, supporting phonological development during the sensitive infancy period could prevent or ameliorate future dyslexic symptoms. Music is an established method for supporting auditory and speech processing and even language and literacy, but no previous studies have investigated its benefits for infants at risk for developmental language and reading disorders. We pseudo‐randomized N∼150 infants at risk for dyslexia to vocal or instrumental music listening interventions at 0–6 months, or to a no‐intervention control group. Music listening was used as an easy‐to‐administer, cost‐effective intervention in early infancy. Mismatch responses (MMRs) elicited by speech‐sound changes were recorded with electroencephalogram (EEG) before (at birth) and after (at 6 months) the intervention and at a 28 months follow‐up. We expected particularly the vocal intervention to promote phonological development, evidenced by enhanced speech‐sound MMRs and their fast maturation. We found enhanced positive MMR amplitudes in the vocal music listening intervention group after but not prior to the intervention. Other music activities reported by parents did not differ between the three groups, indicating that the group effects were attributable to the intervention. The results speak for the use of vocal music in early infancy to support speech processing and subsequent language development in infants at developmental risk.Research Highlights
Dyslexia‐risk infants were pseudo‐randomly assigned to a vocal or instrumental music listening intervention at home from birth to 6 months of age.
Neural mismatch responses (MMRs) to speech‐sound changes were enhanced in the vocal music intervention group after but not prior to the intervention.
Even passive vocal music listening in early infancy can support phonological development known to be deficient in dyslexia‐risk.

Published: June 2023

AbstractOptogenetics enables the manipulation of neural activity with high spatiotemporal resolution in genetically defined neurons. The method is widely used in various model animals in the neuroscience and physiology fields. Channelrhodopsins are robust tools for optogenetic manipulation, but they have not yet been used for studies in medaka. In the present study, we used the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9‐mediated knock‐in approach to establish a transgenic medaka strain expressing the Chloromonas oogama channelrhodopsin (CoChR) in the ISL LIM homeobox 1 (isl1) locus. We demonstrated that light stimuli elicited specific behavioral responses, such as bending or turning locomotion in the embryos and pectoral fin movements in the larvae and adults. The response probabilities and intensities of these movements could be controlled by adjusting the intensity, duration, or wavelength of each light stimulus. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the pectoral fin movements in the adult stage could be elicited using a laser pointer to irradiate region including the caudal hind brain and the rostral spinal cord. Our results indicate that CoChR allows for manipulation of medaka behaviors by activating targeted neurons, which will further our understanding of the detailed neural mechanisms of motor control or social behaviors in medaka.

AbstractAimwe sought to test the inter‐center reproducibility of 16 echo laboratories involved in the EACVI‐Afib Echo Europe.MethodsThis was done on a dedicated setting of 10 patients with sinus rhythm (SR) and 10 with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), collected by the Principal Investigator. Images and loops of echo‐exams were stored and made available for labs. The tested measurements included main echo‐Doppler parameters, global longitudinal strain (GLS) and peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS).ResultsSingle measures interclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of left ventricular mass and ejection fraction were suboptimal in both patients with SR and AF. Among diastolic parameters, ICCs of deceleration time were poor, in particular in AF (=.50). ICCs of left atrial size and function, besides optimal in AF, showed an acceptable despite moderate concordance in SR. ICC of GLS was .81 and .78 in SR and AF respectively. ICCs of PALS were suitable but lower in 4‐chamber than in 2‐chamber view. By depicting the boxplot of the 16 laboratories, GLS distribution was completely homogeneous in SR, whereas GLS of AF and PALS of both SR and AF presented a limited number of outliers. GLS mean ± SE of the 16 labs was 19.7 ± .36 (95% CI: 18.8‐20.4) in SR and 16.5 ± .29 (95% CI: 15.9‐17.1) in AF, whereas PALS mean ± SE was 43.8 ± .70 (95% CI: 42.3‐45.3) and 10.2 ± .32 (95% CI: 9.5‐10.9) respectively.ConclusionWhile the utilization of some standard‐echo variables should be discouraged in registries, the application of GLS and PALS could be largely promoted because their superior reproducibility, even in AF.

AbstractLipids have been little investigated as food for adult insects, considering the importance of these macronutrients for development and reproduction. Lipid reserves are essential for oogenesis and somatic functions. Through host‐feeding, parasitoid females obtain essential nutrients, including lipids used in reproduction. The present study determined the lipid profile ofAnagasta kuehniella(Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), a factitious host ofTrichogrammaparasitoid wasps, and evaluated whether the fertility of the parasitoid was increased by supplementing its diet with oils having a lipid profile similar to that of the host. Females ofTrichogramma pretiosumRiley (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) fed continuously with a diet composed of 90% honey and 10% vegetable oil, mixed in a water bath at 70 °C, parasitized significantly more eggs (11–18%) than did females fed only with pure honey. However, addition of the oil reduced the longevity of these wasps by 40% compared to the controls fed with pure honey. The oil‐enriched diet did not affect the flight performance and quality of the offspring. This information on the use and allocation of lipid reserves inT. pretiosumwill help to increase the parasitism capacity of this important biocontrol agent, when produced by mass rearing.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIntroductionDental sleep medicine (DSM) is an emerging discipline that studies the oral and maxillofacial causes and consequences of sleep‐related problems. DSM is of upmost importance given the major medical challenge it represents. Therefore, to verify whether the future generation of dentists would be ready to face this challenge, the main objective of this study was to assess the degree of involvement of the French dental schools in teaching DSM at the undergraduate level.Materials and MethodsAll 16 dental schools in France were asked to participate in the study by answering to an online survey concerning the DSM curriculum during the 2018–2019 academic year. The survey was addressed to the head of the dental school and/or to relevant course coordinators and contained 10 questions related to the type, content and amount of DSM teaching to undergraduate dental students.ResultsNine of the 16 (56.2%) French dental schools responded to the questionnaire. All these nine reported the inclusion of DSM in their undergraduate curriculum. The total average hours dedicated to teaching DSM was 5.6 h (SD 4.2; range 1–15 h). Seven of the 9 dental schools spent most of their DSM curriculum teaching time in the fifth year. All of them reviewed obstructive sleep apnoea and sleep‐related bruxism and covered some topics related to therapies for sleep‐related breathing disorders, such as the use of oral appliance.ConclusionThe results of this survey showed that, although the average hourly volume is relatively high, the DSM teaching in French dental schools appeared to be non‐standardised, heterogeneous and often lacunar. It is therefore essential to develop a common curriculum and implement it in all dental schools to provide undergraduate students a comprehensive and updated teaching in DSM.
