Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundOlder people in the nursing home environment are much less mobile and capable of taking care of themselves as they age, and most of them face the plight of loneliness, which seriously affects the quality of life of older people in their later years.AimsA systematic review and synthesis of older people's experiences of loneliness in nursing homes.DesignFollowing ENTREQ, do a systematic evaluation and synthesis of qualitative investigations.MethodsA search of PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Embase, the Chinese biomedical literature service system, the China National Knowledge Infrastructure, the Wanfang Database and the Wipu Database for qualitative studies of older people's experiences of loneliness in nursing homes was conducted with a search time frame of March 2023. Evaluation of the quality of the literature using the Joanna Briggs Institute's Australian Centre for Evidence‐Based Health Care Quality Assessment Criteria for Qualitative Research, And the data were synthesised using Thomas and Harden's method of thematic and content analysis.ResultsA total of 13 papers were included, and 36 research findings were distilled and integrated into three themes: causes of loneliness; feelings of loneliness; coping with loneliness; and seven sub‐themes: aging and loss; environmental transformation; loneliness is a pain; loneliness is a choice; participation; strengthening social ties; and diverting attention.ConclusionsOlder people in nursing homes face varying degrees of loneliness, which is a subjective feeling influenced by the interplay between personal awareness and the external environment, so future care interventions should be developed in a comprehensive manner, taking into account the characteristics of the older people themselves and their external environment.No Patient or Public ContributionThis study is a meta‐synthesis and does not require relevant contributions from patients or the public.
Psychological characteristics of young adults with temporomandibular disorders, somatization and combined conditions: A multidimensional evaluation
Authors: Yap Adrian Ujin , Dewi Ni Luh , Marpaung Carolina 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundTemporomandibular disorders and somatization have shown interrelation in many studies. The physical and psychological factors which contributed to the occurrence and relation of both conditions are yet to be determined.ObjectivesThe personality traits, coping styles and psychological distress of young adults with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) and somatic symptoms were characterized together with the determination of psychological risk factors for TMDs, somatization and combined conditions.MethodsParticipants were recruited from university‐attending young adults. TMD and somatic symptoms were appraised with the short‐form Fonseca Anamnestic Index and Patient Health Questionnaire‐15. Psychological variables were assessed with the Big Five Personality Inventory‐10, Brief‐COPE Inventory and Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scales‐21. Data were evaluated using chi‐squared/non‐parametric tests and logistic regression analyses (α = .05).ResultsAmong the 507 participants (mean age 22.2 ± 1.5 years), 46.4% reported no TMD/somatic symptoms (NS) while 7.5%, 34.5% and 11.6% had TMDs only (TS), somatization only (SS) and combined TMDs‐somatization (CS), respectively. Significant differences in conscientiousness (NS > SS), agreeableness (NS, TS > CS; NS > SS), dysfunctional coping, general distress, depression, anxiety and stress (CS ≥ SS > NS) were discerned. Multivariate analyses indicated that the odds of TS were increased by anxiety (OR = 1.10; 95% CI = 1.01–1.21), while the odds of SS/CS were affected by anxiety (OR = 1.15; 95% CI = 1.06–1.25/OR = 1.34; 95% CI = 0.19–1.52) and problem‐focused coping (OR = 0.71; 95% CI = 0.56–0.89/OR = 0.55; 95% CI = 0.39–0.78).ConclusionThough individuals with TMDs and somatization have dissimilar psychological profiles, anxiety constantly increased their likelihood. Problem‐focused coping strategies may help alleviate psychosocial and physical stressors associated with TMDs and somatization.
Research assessment: How the hotel industry uses sensory and consumer science to analyze hotel toiletries
Authors: Payne Jessie , Koppel Kadri , Talavera Martin J. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractHotel toiletries are complementary items found in hotels around the globe. Though this is true, toiletries are not an area of emphasis in hotel research. The hotel toiletry category encompasses an assorted set of products such as shampoo, lotions, soap, makeup wipes, and considerably more. While some interesting research is available, much of the hotel industry research is conducted using more informal methods with little regard for consumer expectations and perceptions. The hotel industry could benefit from a consumer‐targeted approach to hotel toiletry research. The field of sensory and consumer science has a multitude of avenues for evaluating consumer opinions and perceptions, and even describing and optimizing hotel toiletry products. This review outlines current sensory and consumer methods used by the hotel industry to analyze hotel toiletries and other aspects of the industry, as well as highlights future research opportunities.Practical ApplicationThis review summarizes the available published research on the hotel industry that uses sensory and consumer science to analyze hotel toiletries. This review aims to cover and present how the hotel industry can utilize sensory evaluation methods to evaluate hotel toiletries and identify gaps as well as future research using these approaches.
Collective decision‐making in aquatic mammals
Authors: Zwamborn Elizabeth , Boon Naomi , Whitehead Hal 
Published: August 2023

ABSTRACTCollective decision‐making is an essential part of day‐to‐day life for group‐living animals. These decisions can be unshared (e.g. leadership) or shared (e.g. consensus).Aquatic mammals face particular challenges when making collective decisions, including a three‐dimensional habitat that can make group coordination and collective navigation a challenge.We systematically reviewed literature on decision‐making in non‐human mammals by examining the types of collective decisions observed and hypotheses used to structure analyses.Most of the current literature was centred around terrestrial species, particularly within primates and artiodactyls. There are no collective decision‐making studies on aquatic mammal species outside of cetaceans. Both unshared and shared decision‐making have been reported in whales and dolphins, with leadership found in killer whalesOrcinus orcaand bottlenose dolphinsTursiopssp.and consensus decisions in sperm whalesPhyseter macrocephalus.Five recommendations for decision‐making research include: 1) clearly delineating the temporal components of decision‐making, 2) standardising research to allow for comparisons, 3) considering both shared and unshared decision‐making, 4) analysing decision‐making across behavioural contexts, and 5) avoiding anthropomorphic terminology.Future studies of collective decision‐making will help us better understand how non‐human mammals overcome environmental and contextual challenges – particularly in the case of aquatic species such as cetaceans, which face challenges related to their aquatic environment and exhibit phenomena such as mass strandings.

AbstractThe infrared spectral characteristics of organic‐rich acid residues prepared from Ryugu samples returned by the JAXA Hayabusa2 mission generally match those from unheated carbonaceous chondrite meteorites, but the residues from Ryugu are richer in methyl and methylene functional groups and have higher CH2/CH3 ratios. Moreover, two distinct outlier carbonaceous phases are found; one with spectral characteristics of N‐H functional groups, likely amides, and a second phase containing less nitrogen. Such infrared characteristics of Ryugu organic matter might indicate the pristine nature of the freshly collected samples and reflect the near‐surface chemistry in the parent asteroid.

AbstractFusarium species are an emerging cause of onychomycosis, and the number of cases has dramatically increased in recent decades worldwide. This review presents an overview of the onychomycosis cases caused by Fusarium species and diagnosis and treatment that have been reported in the literature. The most common causative agent of onychomycosis is F. solani species complex, which accounts for 11.68% of the cases of Fusarium onychomycosis, followed by the F. oxysporum species complex (164 out of 1669), which is accounted for 9.83% of the total. F. fujikuroi species complex (42 out of 1669) and F. dimerum species complex (7 out of 1669) are responsible for 2.52% and 0.42 cases, respectively. Fusarium nail infections were reported in patients aged range 1–98, accounting for 5.55% (1669 out of 30082) of all cases. Asia has the highest species diversity of Fusarium onychomycosis (31.51%). South America accounts for 21.09%, and the most common causative agent is F. solani (19.32%), followed by F. oxysporum species complex (15.63%). Europe accounts for 4.90% of cases caused by F. oxysporum, followed by F. solani. Africa accounts for 23.87% of the cases due to the F. solani species complex, followed by F. oxysporum and F. fujikuroi. Distal and lateral subungual onychomycosis was the most common clinical symptom accounting for 58.7% (135 out of 230) of the cases. Data analysis relieved that terbinafine and itraconazole are active treatments for Fusarium onychomycosis. For a definitive diagnosis, combining of direct examination, culture and sequencing of the elongation factor of translation 1α are recommended. Accurate identification of the causative agents of onychomycosis due to Fusarium species and antifungal susceptibility testing is essential in patient management.
Pemphigus Disease and Area Index: Unmet needs in the real‐world management of pemphigus

Published: August 2023

AbstractOver the past few decades, a number of scoring instruments have been developed to assess the severity and activity of autoimmune bullous diseases (AIBDs) (Daneshpazhooh et al., 2019; Nili et al., 2020; Nili et al., 2021; Nili et al., 2022). The Pemphigus Disease Area Index (PDAI), developed by the International Pemphigus Definitions Group, is an easy‐to‐use, quick, and reliable method for determining pemphigus severity. As a reliable and effective tool in clinical trials, PDAI may also have some limitations and might require some revisions to be used on a daily basis. Here, we propose some recommendations to improve the use of PDAI in the clinical setting.
The new correspondence theory of truth without the concept of fact
Authors: Chen Bo 
Published: August 2023

AbstractTraditional correspondence theory of truth with the concept of fact encounters many serious difficulties, main one of which is that it is too difficult to explain clearly the concept of ‘fact’ and how propositions ‘correspond’ to facts. This does not mean that we should abandon the traditional correspondence theory of truth and turn to some other type theories of truth. In order to guarantee the objectivity of truth, any reasonable theory of truth must adhere to the core insight of the traditional correspondence theory: it is not something in our language, nor in our mind, but something in the external world, that make the propositions we use to describe the states of affairs in the world either true or false. It is entirely possible to formulate a new correspondence theory of truth without the concept of fact but still adhering to the core insights mentioned above of the traditional correspondence theory. New correspondence theory of truth has its own metaphysical and epistemological assumptions, and also its assumption in the philosophy of language. Because of the generativity of language, in defining the concept of truth, the new correspondence theory of truth must resort to Tarskian recursive procedure. First, it gives the semantic value of the components of a proposition, defines the truth of its atomic propositions, then gradually defines the truth of its more and more complex propositions and finally of the whole proposition. Coherence is the intrinsic element of truth. The concept of truth is by no means trivial and insignificant; on the contrary, it is very substantive. The pursuit of truth is our mission.
Role of curvature in acridone for 1O2 oxidation of a natural product homoallylic alcohol: A novel iso‐hydroperoxide intermediate
Authors: Lapoot Lloyd , Jabeen Shakeela , Durantini Andrés M. , Greer Alexander 
Published: August 2023

AbstractA density functional theoretical (DFT) study is presented, implicating a 1O2 oxidation process to reach a dihydrobenzofuran from the reaction of the natural homoallylic alcohol, glycocitrine. Our results predict an interconversion between glycocitrine and an iso‐hydroperoxide intermediate [R(H)O+–O−] that provides a key path in the chemistry which then follows. Formations of allylic hydroperoxides are unlikely from a 1O2 ‘ene’ reaction. Instead, the dihydrobenzofuran arises by 1O2 oxidation facilitated by a 16° curvature of the glycocitrine ring imposed by a pyramidal N‐methyl group. This curvature facilitates the formation of the iso‐hydroperoxide, which is analogous to the iso species CH2I+–I− and CHI2+–I− formed by UV photolysis of CH2I2 and CHI3. The iso‐hydroperoxide is also structurally reminiscent of carbonyl oxides (R2C=O+–O−) formed in the reaction of carbenes and oxygen. Our DFT results point to intermolecular process, in which the iso‐hydroperoxide's fate relates to O‐transfer and H2O dehydration reactions for new insight into the biosynthesis of dihydrobenzofuran natural products.
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes and skin photoaging: From basic research to practical application
Authors: Wang Yihao , Shen Xu , Song Shenghua , Chen Yan , Wang Yiping , Liao Junlin , Chen Nian , Zeng Li 
Published: August 2023

AbstractBackgroundSkin photoaging is a condition caused by long‐term exposure to ultraviolet irradiation, resulting in a variety of changes in the skin, such as capillary dilation, increased or absent pigmentation, dryness, sagging, and wrinkles. Stem cells possess a remarkable antioxidant capacity and the ability to proliferate, differentiate, and migrate, and their main mode of action is through paracrine secretion, with exosomes being the primary form of secretion. Stem cell‐derived exosomes contain a variety of growth factors and cytokines and may have great potential to promote skin repair and delay skin ageing.MethodsThis review focuses on the mechanisms of UV‐induced skin photoaging, the research progress of stem cell exosomes against skin photoaging, emerging application approaches and limitations in the application of exosome therapy.ResultExosomes derived from various stem cells have the potential to prevent skin photoaging.ConclusionThe combination with novel materials may be a key step for their practical application, which could be an important direction for future basic research and practical applications.
Effect of mitochondrial quantity and quality controls in white adipose tissue on healthy lifespan: Essential roles of GH/IGF‐1‐independent pathways in caloric restriction‐mediated metabolic remodeling

Published: August 2023

AbstractLong‐term caloric restriction is a conventional and reproducible dietary intervention to improve whole body metabolism, suppress age‐related pathophysiology, and extend lifespan. The beneficial actions of caloric restriction are widely accepted to be regulated in both growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1‐dependent and ‐independent manners. Although growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1‐dependent regulatory mechanisms are well described, those occurring independent of growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1 are poorly understood. In this review, we focus on molecular mechanisms of caloric restriction regulated in a growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1‐independent manner. Caloric restriction increases mitochondrial quantity and improves mitochondrial quality by activating an axis involving sterol regulatory element binding protein‐c/peroxisome proliferator‐activated receptor γ coactivator‐1α/mitochondrial intermediate peptidase in a growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1‐independent manner, particularly in white adipose tissue. Fibroblast growth factor 21 is also involved in this axis. Moreover, the axis may be regulated by lower leptin signaling. Thus, caloric restriction appears to induce beneficial actions partially by regulating mitochondrial quantity and quality in white adipose tissue in a growth hormone/insulin‐like growth factor 1‐independent manner.
Who's to blame for failed integration of immigrants? Blame attributions as an affectively polarizing force in lay discussions of immigration in Finland
Authors: Rovamo Helena , Pettersson Katarina , Sakki Inari 
Published: August 2023

AbstractIncreasing expression of antagonism toward immigrants has turned immigration into one of the most polarizing issues in many countries, among them Finland, dividing people into those who favor and those who oppose immigration. But while affective polarization of the kind exemplified by widespread responses to immigration has recently received increasing attention from political psychologists, little attention has been paid to how affective polarization develops through the mutual reinforcement of opposing discourses. The application of critical discursive psychology to interviews with lay Finns reveals this mutual reinforcement in progress. In our interviews, Finns across the political spectrum construct five subject positions by attributing blame for immigration‐related challenges. Both sides blame some “other” for the challenges while exempting themselves from blame. Our study makes three contributions to political psychology: exploring how blame attribution helps to generate affective polarization, illustrating the ability of (critical) discursive psychology to illuminate processes of affective polarization in individuals, and bringing the concept of affective polarization drawn from survey research into dialogue with the concept of subject positions constructed by blame attribution drawn from discursive studies of populism.
Can vitamins improve periodontal wound healing/regeneration?
Authors: Fawzy El‐Sayed Karim M. , Cosgarea Raluca , Sculean Anton , Doerfer Christof 
Published: August 2023

AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disorder of the tooth supporting structures, associated with microbial dysbiosis, and linked to a number if systemic conditions. Untreated it can result in an irreversible damage to the periodontal structures and eventually teeth loss. Regeneration of the lost periodontium requires an orchestration of a number of biological events on cellular and molecular level. In this context, a set of vitamins have been advocated, relying their beneficial physiological effects, to endorse the biological regenerative events of the periodontium on cellular and molecular levels. The aim of the present article is to elaborate on the question whether or not vitamins improve wound healing/regeneration, summarizing the current evidence from in vitro, animal and clinical studies, thereby shedding light on the knowledge gap in this field and highlighting future research needs. Although the present review demonstrates the current heterogeneity in the available evidence and knowledge gaps, findings suggest that vitamins, especially A, B, E, and CoQ10, as well as vitamin combinations, could exert positive attributes on the periodontal outcomes in adjunct to surgical or nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
Infrastructure and American religion: Sites, methods, and theories for a changing field
Authors: Ellis Isaiah 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThis article reviews the literature on infrastructure in the study of American religions, examining its recent emergence as a topic of study and demonstrating its deeper role in the canons of the field. It argues that infrastructure has quickly become a multivalent conceptual term in the field, as well as a site for research. This latter point leads to a detailed summation of infrastructure's role in constructing and challenging the conventional boundaries of what “religion” is in America, what is “American” about American religion, and how scholars of religion might rethink “America” as a geographic and conceptual formation for our study. Infrastructure has an important role to play in creative theoretical and methodological engagements in the study of American religion and in fact has already staked its claim in the field's ongoing transformation.
