The Quiet Learner of the UK Art Classroom
Authors: Ryder Mags 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper investigates the perceptions and implications of quietness among students in the UK classroom, challenging the prevalent notion that vocal participation equates to engagement and success. Despite concerns from educators and parents about quiet students' engagement, this research explores how silence and quietness function as integral components of classroom dynamics. Through interviews with Year 11 students, the paper examines students' views on their quietness and its role in learning. The literature review reveals diverse conceptualisations of quietness, ranging from an absence of speech to positive social disengagement, attentive listening and creativity. Theoretical frameworks such as Figured Worlds and Flow Theory are employed to understand how students' identities and learning experiences are shaped by their quietness. The findings conclude that the negative perceptions of quiet students arise from a misunderstanding of quietness, advocating for a progressive view that recognises the benefits of 'quiet ways' in teaching and learning. Further research with educators is proposed to explore their perceptions of student quietness and its impact on educational practices. This study contributes to a nuanced understanding of classroom participation, challenging traditional expectations of vocal engagement.

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo evaluate the influence of in situ acid erosion on the structural and optical properties of nanoparticulate bisacrylic resin with different surface treatments, evaluating surface roughness (Ra), knoop microhardness (KHN), color change (ΔE, ΔL, ΔC, ΔH), contrast (CR) and translucency (TP).MethodsEighty specimens were made (n = 10 per group) and the following surface treatments were applied: UP—unpolished; Ap—polishing with Astropol rubber tips (Ivoclar); SB—Biscover LV surface sealant (Bisco) and SP—Palaseal surface sealant (kulzer). For the in situ experiment, 10 volunteers wore an intraoral appliance containing eight specimens (two specimens per experimental group), with only one specimen from each experimental group being subjected to the acid process. They were immersed in 150 mL of cola‐based soda (pH = 2.3), 4 × 5 min/day for 14 consecutive days evaluating surface roughness (Ra), knoop microhardness (KHN), color change by CIEDE2000 (ΔE, ΔL, ΔC, ΔH), contrast (CR) and translucency (TP).ResultsThe SB and SP groups adopted the lowest Ra values, with a significant difference from the others. The SB group had the highest values of KHN and NP the lowest, with a significant difference from the others. The SP group had the highest values of ΔE00, being the only one with a significant difference from the others. In all analyses, there was no significant change between the groups without and with acid administration.ConclusionThe surface sealants were able to improve the surface roughness and microhardness of the bisacrylic resin, however, the Palaseal sealant generates unacceptable color change. The acid injection did not significantly influence the properties of the material, regardless of the surface treatment performed.

IntroductionMidwives report high rates of exposure to traumatic births that can negatively affect their psychosocial well‐being. Self‐compassion can be considered as a tool to promote psychosocial well‐being. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of midwives’ exposure to traumatic births and explore midwives’ self‐compassion and its correlation to their psychosocial well‐being in relation to experiences of traumatic births.MethodsIn a cross‐sectional correlational study, data were collected using an electronic questionnaire by way of social networks and the website of the Israel Midwives Association. Inclusion criteria were certified Israeli midwives working in a hospital delivery room and able to read and write Hebrew. The questionnaire was composed of 4 parts: a demographic section, a traumatic events in perinatal care list, a self‐compassion scale–short form, and a psychosocial health and well‐being tool (short form of Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire).ResultsThe most common traumatic event reported was death. Self‐compassion and psychosocial health and well‐being were found to be at a medium‐high level (mean [SD], 40.66 [6.5]; 38.33 [13.03]), and correlated significantly (r = 0.339; P < .001). There was a significant interaction effect between low self‐compassion (mean, ≤3.17) and exposure to traumatic birth in the last year on psychosocial well‐being compared with those who were not exposed to traumatic birth in the last year (F2,103 = 3.25; P = .043). No significant effect was found in those women with medium (mean, 3.18‐3.67) or high (mean, ≥3.68) self‐compassion.DiscussionSelf‐compassion is related to the psychosocial health and well‐being of midwives exposed to traumatic birth. Self‐compassion can be learned and should be considered for inclusion in midwives’ basic and continuing education.

ABSTRACTProton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) offers a non‐invasive, repeatable, and reproducible method for in vivo metabolite profiling of the brain and other tissues. However, metabolite fingerprinting by MRS requires high signal‐to‐noise ratios for accurate metabolite quantification, which has traditionally been limited to large volumes of interest, compromising spatial fidelity. In this study, we introduce a new optimized pipeline that combines LASER MRS acquisition at 11.7 T with a cryogenic coil and advanced offline pre‐ and post‐processing. This approach achieves a signal‐to‐noise ratio sufficient to reliably quantify 19 distinct metabolites in a volume as small as 0.7 μL within the mouse brain. The resulting high spatial resolution and spectral quality enable the identification of distinct metabolite fingerprints in small, specific regions, as demonstrated by characteristic differences in N‐acetylaspartate, glutamate, taurine, and myo‐inositol between the motor and somatosensory cortices. We demonstrated a decline in taurine and glutamate in the primary motor cortex between 5 and 11 months of age, against the stability of other metabolites. Further exploitation to cortical layer‐specific metabolite fingerprinting of layer I–III to layer VI–V in the primary motor cortex, with the latter showing reduced taurine and phosphoethanolamine levels, demonstrates the potential of this pipeline for detailed in vivo metabolite fingerprinting of cortical areas and subareas.image
The King Is Dead – Long Live Who? A Family and Firm Embeddedness Perspective on Succession after the CEO‐Owner's Sudden Death

Published: January 2025

AbstractWhen the CEO‐owner of an SME suddenly dies, who should take over? Integrating the social embeddedness perspective with research on crisis management, we theorize that an SME's financial health gets progressively worse before it stabilizes and recovers, reflecting an inverse U‐shaped relationship between time since the CEO‐owner's sudden death and an SME's financial distress. We then explore how successors' family and firm embeddedness moderate this relationship. Using a longitudinal sample of Swedish SMEs, we find general support for our theorizing. While nonfamily successors lead to less financial distress than family successors immediately following a CEO‐owner's sudden death, the opposite occurs in the long term. Further, successors with high firm embeddedness are associated with less financial distress than those with low firm embeddedness in both the short‐ and long‐term. Additionally, our post‐hoc analyses reveal that successors with high firm embeddedness, independent of their family embeddedness, outperform those low in firm embeddedness. Family successors lacking firm embeddedness report the highest financial distress, whereas family successors with high firm embeddedness experience the lowest. Our social embeddedness perspective on succession after the CEO‐owner's sudden death therefore contends that successor embeddedness explains differences in an SME's financial health, with the importance of successor firm tenure overshadowing the effect of family status.

ABSTRACTAimsPrimary aim was to review severe acute respiratory infections (SARI) hospitalisations caused by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) in children aged < 2 years in paediatric hospitals in Australia. Secondary aims included RSV subtyping, assessing RSV seasonality and contributing to the World Health Organisation's RSV surveillance programme.MethodsWe prospectively reviewed the medical records of children (< 2 years of age) with a confirmed SARI who were admitted to one of four major Australian paediatric hospitals and had a respiratory sample analysed by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A detailed dataset was completed for RSV positive cases.ResultsBetween 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2022, 2290 RSV (laboratory‐confirmed) admissions were identified (53.4% of all SARI admissions). Approximately 50% of all RSV cases were aged 0–6 months. RSV‐A predominated in 2021 with peak infections observed in summer while in 2022 RSV‐B predominated with peak infections in the more traditional winter months.The median total length of stay (LOS) for RSV positive admissions was 46 h (IQR: 22–82 h). 9% of these children required an ICU admission with a prolonged median LOS 68 h (IQR: 40–112 h). Respiratory support utilisation was consistent over the 2 years. 1.8% required mechanical ventilation; 4.6% continuous positive airway pressure; 23.3% high flow oxygen; and 50.8% low flow oxygen.ConclusionsRSV in children continues to cause a significant disease burden at Australian tertiary paediatric centres. Ongoing hospital surveillance is required to document the impact of RSV preventative therapies that have become available in 2024.
A Structural Decomposition of Imports in Argentina: The Role of Autonomous Demand, Income Distribution, and Productive Integration (1953–2018)
Authors: Landau Matías Torchinsky 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTForeign currency scarcity stands as one of the most significant constraints on growth for small open economies. This article investigates the determinants of import growth, the main source of demand for foreign currency, by introducing a novel adaptation of structural decomposition analysis, rooted in a Sraffian supermultiplier growth model. The decomposition is applied to Argentina's input‐output matrices spanning 1953–2018. Findings reveal that autonomous demand is the primary long run determinant of imports, through its influence on output. While the role of income distribution in the long run is neglectable, it holds significance in the short term. The process of deindustrialization, initiated in the mid‐70s, has amplified the influence of autonomous demand on imports. This further reduced the external space to boost demand and output through increased government spending and/or higher real wages.

ABSTRACTBacterial blight of cotton (BBC) caused by Xanthomonas citri pv. malvacearum (Xcm) is an important and destructive disease affecting cotton plants. Transcription activator‐like effectors (TALEs) released by the pathogen regulate cotton resistance to the susceptibility. In this study, we sequenced the whole genome of Xcm Xss‐V2‐18 and identified eight tal genes: seven on the plasmids and one on the chromosome. Deletion and complementation experiments of Xss‐V2‐18 tal genes demonstrated that Tal1b is required for full virulence on cotton. Transcriptome profiling coupled with TALE‐binding element prediction revealed that Tal1b targets GhSWEET14A04/D04 and GhSWEET14D02 simultaneously. Expression analysis confirmed the independent inducibility of GhSWEET14A04/D04 and GhSWEET14D02 by Tal1b, whereas GhSWEET14A04/D04 is additionally targeted by Tal1. Moreover, β‐glucuronidase and Xa10‐mediated hypersensitive response assays indicated that the effector‐binding element (EBEs) are required for the direct and specific activation of the candidate targets by Tal1 and Ta1b. These insights enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of bacterial blight in cotton and might lead to improved resistance through EBEs disruption or a TALE‐trap strategy.

AbstractPurposeTo assess the repeatability of lipid layer thickness (LLT) measurement using the LipiView® interferometer after daily disposable contact lens (CL) wear and correlation with ocular comfort in soft contact lens wearers.MethodsA prospective study was conducted over two consecutive months, wherein CL wearers (n = 20) wore either Somofilcon A or Verofilcon A daily disposable CLs in a crossover design, switching lenses after 1 month. The pre‐corneal tear film LLT was measured at the end of each month after CLs had been worn for at least 6 h. Using the LipiView® interferometer, three measurements of the LLT (average, maximum and minimum) were recorded. Subjects' symptoms were evaluated with the Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire‐8 (CLDEQ‐8) and correlations sought between post‐lens pre‐corneal tear film LLT and symptoms.ResultsThe average, maximum and minimum intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) of LLT measurements at baseline were 0.57, 0.39 and 0.66, respectively, indicating poor (ICC < 0.4) to moderate (≥0.4, <0.75) repeatability. Coefficients of repeatability (CR) were 20.4, 24.8 and 20.8, respectively. After daily disposable CL wear, the ICC values were 0.66, 0.72 and 0.63 (indicating moderate repeatability), with CR values of 25.7, 32.0 and 23.3, respectively. Although all the ICC values of the pre‐corneal LLT increased after daily disposable lens wear indicating improved repeatability, the CR values also increased, indicating larger spread of data. However, in both cases, these increases were not significantly different from baseline. There were no significant differences in pre‐corneal LLT between the two lens types and no significant correlation with comfort scores (baseline: r = −0.11, p = 0.67; Verofilcon A lenses: r = 0.19, p = 0.45; Somofilcon A lenses r = 0.13, p = 0.62) for either lens.ConclusionsThe repeatability of average, maximum and minimum LLT measurements performed by LipiView remained stable during CL wear. There was no significant correlation between LLT and comfort scores.

ABSTRACTObjectiveThe incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures has been increasing annually. However, clinical surgeons have overlooked the impaction fractures of the posterolateral tibial plateau and lateral femoral condyle in patients with ACL ruptures. The purpose of the present study was to report the detection rate of the posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures in patients with ACL ruptures, and to evaluate the functional outcomes of patients following ACL reconstruction (ACLR) without treatment of the tibial fractures at a 2‐year postoperative follow‐up.MethodsFour hundred eighty‐eight patients treated for ACL ruptures between January 2016 and June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed, and the posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures were classified based on MRI assessment. The detection rate of the posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures was calculated, and the functional outcomes (SF‐12 Mental Component Summaries, SF‐12 Physical Component Summaries, Tegner, Lysholm, IKDC, and KOOS) were evaluated at a 2‐year postoperative follow‐up.ResultsThe detection rate of posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures was 41.6% among ACL ruptures. Of these, 285 cases (58.4%) had no fractures, 98 cases (20.1%) had type I impaction fractures, 41 cases (8.4%) had type IIA impaction fractures, 15 cases (3.1%) had type IIB impaction fractures, 22 cases (4.5%) had type IIIA impaction fractures, and 27 cases (5.5%) had type IIIB impaction fractures. Patients with type IIIA or IIIB impaction fractures showed an increased detection rate of contact mechanism compared to the other subgroups. Significant differences in Tegner (postoperation) and KOOS (QOL) were found between no fracture and type IIIB impaction fractures in patients following ACLR.ConclusionsThe detection rate of posterolateral tibial plateau impaction fractures in patients with ACL ruptures was high. Patients with type IIIB impaction fractures following ACLR had poor functional outcomes.

AbstractRecently, genomic approaches have helped to resolve phylogenetic questions in many groups of parasitic organisms, including lice (Phthiraptera). However, these approaches have still not been applied to one of the most diverse groups of lice, Amblycera. To fill this gap, we applied phylogenomic methods based on genome‐level exon sequence data to resolve the relationships within and among the families of Amblycera. Our phylogenomic trees support the monophyly of the families Ricinidae and Laemobothriidae. However, the families Trimenoponidae and Gyropidae are not monophyletic, indicating that they should be merged into a single family. The placement of Trinoton is unstable with respect to Boopiidae and Menoponidae, and we suggest recognizing Trinotonidae as a separate family. At the genus level, the genera Colpocephalum, Hohorstiella, Menacanthus and Ricinus were recovered as paraphyletic. Regarding generic complexes, the tree revealed the Menacanthus complex to be monophyletic, but the Colpocephalum complex paraphyletic, including genera not traditionally placed in this group. Dating analysis suggests that the divergence among families of Amblycera occurred shortly after the Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary 66 Mya. Cophylogenetic analyses revealed many host‐switching events during the diversification of Amblycera, indicating that the evolutionary history of Amblycera does not tightly mirror that of its hosts. Ancestral host reconstructions revealed that the ancestral host of Amblycera was most likely a bird, with two host switching events to mammals. By combining phylogenomics, molecular dating and cophylogenetic analyses, we provide the first large‐scale picture of amblyceran evolution, which will serve as a basis for future studies of this group.
