First record of the bronze bug, Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé, (Hemiptera: Thaumastocoridae) in Syria
Authors: Zeity Mahran , Arab Atia , Salman Ola 
Published: May 2023

AbstractMature and immature individuals of a small sap sucking insect were collected from Eucalyptus camaldulensis trees located in a coastal area of Syria (Latakia) in October 2022. These specimens were found during regular monitoring of the newly introduced Eucalyptus redgum lerp psyllid, Glycaspis brimblecombei. Collected specimens were identified as Thaumastocoris peregrinus Carpintero & Dellapé 2006. This is the first record of this species, as well as the family Thaumastocoridae, from Syria.
To see is to believe: Corporate site visits and mutual fund herding

Published: May 2023

AbstractUsing a unique data set of corporate site visits by mutual funds to Chinese firms listed on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2013 to 2021, we find that firms with visits (more visits) are associated with lower mutual fund herding than those with no (fewer) visits. In addition, we demonstrate that mutual funds’ visits to a firm drive the change in their herding propensity by verifying hard information (e.g., the firm's technology, innovation, accounting, and finance information) and obtaining soft information (e.g., management's risk appetite, employee morale, and corporate culture). Furthermore, corporate site visits are found to strengthen herding's price impact without return reversals. Overall, our results are consistent with information cascade theory.

AbstractCaring for people with dementia is considered one of the most stressful and difficult forms of care. Informal caregivers constantly face high physical and emotional burdens. Therefore, it is essential to provide them with effective and practical support. Web‐based decision aids can provide convenient and effective decision support for informal caregivers. The aim of this study was to assess and synthesize the influence of web‐based decision aids on informal caregivers of people with dementia. Searches of electronic databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, Web of Science Core Collection, Embase, PsycINFO, CNKI, Open Grey and Baidu Wenku) and reference lists of relevant studies were conducted in July 2022. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed‐methods studies published in Chinese and English on the use of web‐based decision aids by informal caregivers of people with dementia were included. The studies were selected by screening titles, abstracts and full texts, and the quality of each study was assessed by two researchers independently. Fourteen studies were published between 2010 and 2022, including five qualitative studies, four quantitative studies and five mixed‐methods studies. Web‐based decision aids have a positive influence on informal caregivers of people with dementia by providing decision support, satisfying needs, promoting psychological health, improving communication ability and reducing caregiver burden. Informal caregivers of people with dementia are receptive to web‐based decision aids and expect their functionality to be optimized further. Web‐based decision aids offer potential benefits to informal caregivers by providing effective decision‐making support and improving their psychological health and ability to communicate.
When nurses' vulnerability challenges their moral integrity: A discursive paper
Authors: Seidlein Anna‐Henrikje , Kuhn Eva 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundBoth vulnerability and integrity represent action‐guiding concepts in nursing practice. However, they are primarily discussed regarding patients—not nurses—and considered independently from rather than in relation to each other.AimThe aim of this paper is to characterize the moral dimension of nurses' vulnerability and integrity, specify the concepts' relationship in nurses' clinical practice and, ultimately, allow a more fine‐grained understanding.DesignThis discursive paper demonstrates how vulnerability and integrity relate to each other in nursing practice and carves out which types of vulnerability pose a threat to nurses' moral integrity. The concept of vulnerability developed by Mackenzie et al. (2014) is applied to the situation of nurses and expanded to include the concept of moral integrity according to Hardingham (2004). Four scenarios are used to demonstrate where and how nurses' vulnerabilities become particularly apparent in clinical practice. This leads to a cross‐case discussion, in which the vulnerabilities identified are examined against the background of moral integrity and the relationship between the two concepts is determined in more detail.Results and ConclusionVulnerability and integrity do not only form a conceptual pair but also represent complementary moral concepts. Their joint consideration has both a theoretical and practical added value. It is shown that only specific forms of vulnerability pose a threat to moral integrity and the vulnerability–integrity relationship is mediated via moral distress.Implications for the Profession and/or Patient CareThe manuscript provides guidance on how the concrete threat(s) to integrity can be buffered and moral resilience can be promoted. Different types of threats also weigh differently and require specific approaches to assess and handle them at the micro‐, meso‐ and macro‐level of the healthcare system.

AbstractAimTo investigate whether long‐term obesity, long‐term central obesity and weight gain are associated with alveolar bone loss.Materials and MethodsA sub‐population (n = 1318) of the Northern Finland Birth Cohort 1966 was categorized based on body mass index (BMI: normal weight, overweight and obesity) and waist circumference (WC: no central obesity, central obesity) at ages 31 and 46. These categories were combined to define whether the participants stayed in the same categories or passed on to a higher category (weight gain). Alveolar bone level (BL) data were collected at age 46.ResultsThe associations of long‐term obesity and weight gain with BL ≥ 5 mm were stronger in smokers than in the total population and in never smokers. Males who passed on to higher BMI and WC categories showed a higher likelihood for BL ≥ 5 mm (range in relative risks [RRs] 1.3–2.2) than males who stayed in the same categories (range in RRs 0.7–1.1). The associations with BL ≥ 5 mm were weak or non‐existent in females.ConclusionsThe relation between obesity and periodontal diseases seems more complex than previously presumed. The role of gender and smoking should be taken into account in future studies.
Is There a Replication Crisis in Finance?

Published: May 2023

ABSTRACTSeveral papers argue that financial economics faces a replication crisis because the majority of studies cannot be replicated or are the result of multiple testing of too many factors. We develop and estimate a Bayesian model of factor replication that leads to different conclusions. The majority of asset pricing factors (i) can be replicated; (ii) can be clustered into 13 themes, the majority of which are significant parts of the tangency portfolio; (iii) work out‐of‐sample in a new large data set covering 93 countries; and (iv) have evidence that is strengthened (not weakened) by the large number of observed factors.
Online Bruxism‐related information: Can people understand what they read? A Cross‐Sectional Study
Authors: Minervini Giuseppe , Marrapodi Maria Maddalena , Cicciù Marco 
Published: May 2023

AbstractBackgroundBruxism patients often access the web to search for information. Unfortunately, the low text readability of online material and the limited medical literacy in the general population may prevent patients' understanding of health information.Objective(s)We aimed to assess the home page's readability of the top 10 patients‐oriented bruxism‐related websites and the educational level required to approach them.MethodsUsing the word bruxism in the “no country redirect” extension of Google Chrome browser (www.google.com/ncr), we identified the first 10 patient‐oriented English language websites. The readability of the material was determined using six commonly recommended readability tests (1): Gunning Fog Index (GFI), Coleman Liau Index (CLI), Automated Readability Index (ARI) Simple Measure of Gobbledygook (SMOG), Flesch Kincald Grade Level (FKGL), Flesh Reasing Ease (FRE).ResultsThe USA National Institutes of Health requirements, which call for websites to be readable at a 6th to 7th‐grade level, were not followed by any of the most popular websites.ConclusionThe average consumer frequently finds the health information on the Internet to be too complex to understand, which can lead to misinterpretation, a delay in diagnosis, and poorer health consequences.

AimFunctional bowel (constipation and faecal incontinence) and bladder (urinary incontinence and enuresis) problems in children are often treated by paediatricians yet should mostly be managed by general practitioners (GPs). To understand whether the necessary skills and knowledge are being built in general practice, this study aimed to establish the prevalence and associated skills of Australian general practice registrars managing children with functional bowel and bladder problems. Together as paediatricians and GPs, we use these data to determine how best to ensure high quality, equitable care for children.MethodsWe drew on 16 rounds of data collection from the Registrar Clinical Encounters in Training (ReCEnT) multi‐site cohort study (2010–2017) of general practice registrars' in‐consultation experience. It included a measure of paediatric consultations in which a functional bowel or bladder problem was managed, as well as demographic information.ResultsOut of 62 721 problems/diagnoses for paediatric patients (0–17 years), 844 (1.4%) were coded as functional bowel (n = 709; 1.13% (95% confidence interval, CI: 1.05–1.22)) and/or bladder (n = 135; 0.22% (95% CI: 0.18–0.25)) presentations. Registrars were more likely to prescribe medication for bowel problems (odds ratio (OR) = 2.22 (95% CI: 1.86–2.64)) than for all other problems, but less likely to prescribe medication (OR = 0.31 (95% CI: 0.18–0.52)) for night‐time wetting and more likely to make a specialist referral (OR = 1.99 (95% CI: 1.22–3.25)) compared to all other problems.ConclusionsOnly a small proportion of children with functional bowel and bladder problems were seen by registrars despite high prevalence in the community and amenability to management in the general practice setting (i.e. generally low morbidity and low complexity) versus need for specialists. Registrars appeared to be managing functional bowel and bladder problems according to evidence‐based guidelines, but with relatively high levels of referral. Given the inequitable access to specialist care, paediatricians should support local general practice management of these problems. This might include (i) engaging with training programs to ensure appropriate education and (ii) liaising with individual registrars/practices to provide management advice for individual or example cases.

AbstractObjectivesConvective water vapor thermal therapy (CWVTT‐Rezum) is a minimally invasive surgical therapy that is being increasingly utilized for bladder outlet obstruction. Most patients leave the site of care with a Foley catheter in place for a mean reported duration of 3–4 days. A minority of men will fail their trial without catheter (TWOC). We aim to identify the frequency of TWOC failure following CWVTT and its associated risk factors.MethodsPatients who underwent CWVTT at a single institution from October 2018 to May 2021 were retrospectively identified and pertinent data extracted. The primary endpoint was TWOC failure. Descriptive statistics were performed, and rate of TWOC failure was determined. Potential risk factors for failed TWOC were assessed through univariate and multivariate logistic regression.ResultsA total of 119 patients were analyzed. Seventeen percent (20/119) had a failed TWOC on their first attempt. Of those, 60% (12/20) failed in a delayed fashion. In patients who failed, the median number of total TWOC attempts required for success was two (interquartile range [IQR] = 2–3). All patients eventually had a successful TWOC. The median preoperative postvoid residual for successful and failed TWOC was 56 mL (IQR = 15–125) and 87 mL (IQR = 25–367), respectively. Preoperative elevated postvoid residual (unadjusted odds ratio [OR] 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01–1.04; adjusted OR 1.02, 95% CI: 1.01–1.04) was associated with TWOC failure.ConclusionsSeventeen percent of patients failed their initial TWOC after CWVTT. Elevated postvoid residual was associated with TWOC failure.

AbstractVitiligo is a common depigmentation disorder characterized by the selective loss of melanocytes. In our daily clinic experience, we noticed that the skin tightness of hypopigmented lesions would be more evident in comparison to that of uninvolved perilesional skin in vitiligo patients. Therefore, we hypothesized that collagen homeostasis might be maintained in vitiligo lesions, irrespective of the substantial excessive oxidative stress that occurs in association with the disease. We found that the expression levels of collagen‐related genes and anti‐oxidative enzymes were upregulated in vitiligo‐derived fibroblasts. Abundant collagenous fibers were observed in the papillary dermis of vitiligo lesions in comparison to uninvolved perilesional skin by electron microscopy. The production of matrix metalloproteinases that degraded collagen fibers was suppressed. The deposition of acrolein adduct protein, which is a product of oxidative stress, was significantly reduced in vitiligo dermis and fibroblasts. As part of the mechanism, we found upregulation of the NRF2 signaling pathway activity, which is an important defense system against oxidative stress. Taken together, we demonstrated that the anti‐oxidative action and collagen production were upregulated and that the collagen degeneration was attenuated in vitiligo dermis. These new findings may provide important clues for the maintenance of antioxidant ability in vitiligo lesions.

AbstractCrustacean species are among the most valued seafood with socioeconomic and ecological implications in the global fisheries sector. Microbial infections to the farming stock due to continued expansion and aquaculture puts global crustacean production at risk. Understanding and reviewing the complex innate immune system of crustaceans would be pivotal in formulating informed decisions for the control and management of epidemic diseases, thus making the global crustacean aquaculture industry sustainable. Under the purview of innate immunity in crustaceans, pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) represent the sensors capable of discriminating non‐self pathogenic modules and invoking the activation of immune responses. The immunity to infections can be manifested at cellular (via phagocytosis, apoptosis, nodulation and encapsulation) and humoral (effected by prophenoloxidase cascade, lectins, antimicrobial proteins) levels leading to the elimination of pathogens or subversion of the pathogenic implications. In this review, we discuss the participatory role of 12 types of PRRs identified from crustacean species with an exhaustive focus on structural and functional specificities in binding to pathogens and possible execution of the immune activity. Moreover, we have elaborated on the PRRs‐associated or possible signalling cascades (Toll‐NFκB, IMD‐NFκB and JAK‐STAT) in crustacean species that could bridge our understanding of the resistance or susceptibility of the host to varied pathogenic infections thus providing clues to the regulatory mechanisms involved in pathogenesis of infectious diseases and mechanisms of immunity.

AbstractObjectiveWe present a case of primary cutaneous mucormycosis in a patient with bone marrow failure secondary to paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH).Clinical caseA 60‐year‐old male patient with a history of PNH, complicated to a severe aplastic anaemia, presented to the emergency department complaining of papules on the lower limbs that rapidly turned into necrotic plaques within 2 months. Histopathological examination showed granulomatous and suppurative dermatitis with tissue necrosis and the presence of non‐septate hyphae. Molecular identification was achieved by amplification and sequencing of the 18S‐ITS1‐5.8S‐ITS2‐28S rRNA region using the polymerase chain reaction. The sequence showed 100% identity with Rhizopus arrhizus. The patient received treatment with liposomal amphotericin B and surgical debridement. Nonetheless, the patient suffered from severe low red blood cells and platelets and also underwent septic shock; he died 6 days after admission to the hospital.ConclusionMucormycosis in the setting of immunosuppression is challenging. Upon suspicion of a diagnosis, immediate treatment is required. Adjunctive therapies may be considered; however, the case fatality rate remains high.

SUMMARYThe mechanistic basis by which boron (B) deprivation inhibits root growth via the mediation of root apical auxin transport and distribution remains elusive. This study showed that B deprivation repressed root growth of wild‐type Arabidopsis seedlings, which was related to higher auxin accumulation (observed with DII‐VENUS and DR5‐GFP lines) in B‐deprived roots. Boron deprivation elevated the auxin content in the root apex, coinciding with upregulation of the expression levels of auxin biosynthesis‐related genes (TAA1, YUC3, YUC9, and NIT1) in shoots, but not in root apices. Phenotyping experiments using auxin transport‐related mutants revealed that the PIN2/3/4 carriers are involved in root growth inhibition caused by B deprivation. B deprivation not only upregulated the transcriptional levels of PIN2/3/4, but also restrained the endocytosis of PIN2/3/4 carriers (observed with PIN‐Dendra2 lines), resulting in elevated protein levels of PIN2/3/4 in the plasma membrane. Overall, these results suggest that B deprivation not only enhances auxin biosynthesis in shoots by elevating the expression levels of auxin biosynthesis‐related genes but also promotes the polar auxin transport from shoots to roots by upregulating the gene expression levels of PIN2/3/4, as well as restraining the endocytosis of PIN2/3/4 carriers, ultimately resulting in auxin accumulation in root apices and root growth inhibition.
One Time Password based Mutual Text Authentication
Authors: Abbdal Refish Salah H 
Published: May 2023

Many applications in the internet using Password for identify users. So, this password must be strong and safe to avoid unauthorized users. The critical issue in many applications such as web-sites and data base systems is password authentication code (PAC). In this paper, PAC between two parties to confirm password authentication between them based mutual text authentication has presented. Two factors is the best solution in this field. But to be more secure and to be more efficient a legitimate user needs to make sure about his partner to ensure their communications should use another method without need more costs and avoid plurality of algorithms. So, this solution uses mutual text authentication as new solution which the text is predetermined by users. This method is considered new in this field, as this method tries to make the password highly secure in front of unauthorized users and to make the process of accessing information specific only to the actual authorized users. When analysing this method, we find that it has many characteristics such as the confidentiality of the session key and privacy, in addition to the exchange of authentication between the two parties to ensure that others do not interfere.
Mechanical Characterization of Porcine Tricuspid Valve Anterior Leaflets Over Time: Applications to Ex Vivo Studies

Abstract
Mechanical characterization of the ex vivo tricuspid valve (TV) continues to provide key insights into native valve function and the development of valvular diseases. However, experimental methods to characterize TV biomechanical behavior ex vivo often fail to account for potential changes in the tissue’s mechanical responses that may occur during experiment preparation. Therefore, we assessed the mechanical responses of the anterior tricuspid leaflet (ATL) via biaxial mechanical testing over the course of 5 h to validate the accuracy of our fresh tissue experiments. We hypothesized that ATL mechanical responses would remain consistent for the proposed time scale. We found that ATL stiffness, represented by the upper tangent modulus (UTM), did not significantly change in either the radial or circumferential directions for the 5-h test period. Similarly, no significant change was observed in radial or circumferential strains corresponding to an estimated mean systolic stress value of 85 kPa. Overall mean UTM (±standard error of the mean (SEM)) showed that ATL samples were significantly stiffer in the circumferential direction (11.3 ± 0.98 MPa) compared to the radial direction (2.29 ± 0.20 MPa) across all time points. Thus, our results indicate that the outcomes of ex vivo tricuspid valve studies requiring sample preparation up to 5 h remain reliable.
