Published: January 2023

AbstractmRNA translation is critical for regulation of various aspects of the nervous system. Ionotropic glutamate and gamma‐aminobutyric acid type A (GABAA) receptors are fundamental synaptic ion channels that control excitatory and inhibitory synaptic transmission, respectively. However, little is known about the translation of these receptors during brain development and function. By utilizing polysome profiling, a powerful tool for investigating translational machinery and mRNA translational states, we characterized the translational patterns of α‐amino‐3‐hydroxy‐5‐methyl‐4‐isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA), N‐methyl‐d‐aspartate (NMDA), and GABAA receptor subunits, and compared them with total mRNA and protein levels during mouse brain development, in different brain regions, and in response to behavioral stimuli. Most of the receptor subunits exhibited developmental changes at total mRNA, translation, and protein levels, among which translation of Gria1, Gria2, Grin1, Grin2a, Gabra1, and Gabrg2 contributed greatly to their protein levels. Most of the receptor subunits also displayed differentiated levels of total mRNA, translation, and protein in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, among which translation of Gria1, Gria2, Gabrb2, and Gabrg2 contributed to their protein levels. Finally, we showed that acute foot shock stress had a rapid influence in both the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus, with the prefrontal cortex displaying more changes at translational and protein levels. Notably, Grin2a is translationally repressed by stress which was followed by a decrease of GluN2A protein in both brain regions. Together, this study provides a new understanding of the translational patterns of critical ionotropic synaptic receptors during brain development and behavioral stress.image

AbstractPurposeThe current study aimed to identify differences in Veterans Affairs (VA) chronic pain care for Black, Asian, and Hispanic Americans, compared to non‐Hispanic White Americans, and examine the intersection of race and rurality.MethodsUsing national administrative data, all veterans who presented to the VA for chronic pain in 2018 were included. Demographic and comorbidity variables were built from 2018 data and health care utilization variables from 2019 data. Multivariate log‐binomial regression models examined differences between racialized groups, and interactions with rural/urban residence, for each health care utilization variable.FindingsThe full cohort included 2,135,216 veterans with chronic pain. There were no differences between racialized groups in pain‐related primary care visits. Black Americans were less likely to receive pain clinic visits (aRR = 0.87, CI: 0.86‐0.88). Rurality further decreased the likelihood of Black Americans visiting a pain clinic. Black, Hispanic, and Asian Americans were more likely to receive pain‐related physical therapy visits relative to White Americans. Black and Hispanic Americans were more likely to present to emergency/urgent care for chronic pain. While there were no differences in pain‐related primary care visits, the decreased likelihood of pain clinic visits and increased use of emergency department/urgent care among Black Americans could indicate inadequate management of chronic pain.ConclusionsTailored strategies are needed to provide equitable care that meets the needs of patients from racialized groups while accounting for systemic and cultural factors.
Predatory invertebrates indirectly impact leaf‐litter breakdown by different foragers in temporary wetlands
Authors: Jara F. G. , Pueta M. 
Published: January 2023

AbstractTemporary wetlands constitute a reservoir of fauna, many of which are endemic species well adapted to the typical dry–flooded cycle. The degradation of organic matter (both autochthonous and allochthonous) is an important process in temporary wetlands. Wetland animals like caddisfly and anuran larvae participate directly and indirectly in litter breakdown. Both groups also experience predation by invertebrates and vertebrates, which could alter the dynamics of litter breakdown. We used mesocosms to experimentally study the roles of caddisfly and tadpoles in leaf litter breakdown in the presence of a caged predator. We investigated how the presence of different types of forager (larvae of the caddisfly Verger vespersus and Batrachyla taeniata tadpoles) impacts leaf litter breakdown and also whether the presence of a caged belostomatid predator affected this process. Additionally, we investigated the behavioral response of B. taeniata tadpoles and V. vespersus larvae to predation risk cues from belostomatids previously fed on tadpoles or caddisflies. Our results indicated that only caddisfly larvae have a significant impact on litter breakdown. Predation risk did not influence the process, caddisfly larvae exposed to a caged predator reached the pupal stage more quickly than larvae that were not thus exposed, and tadpoles significantly reduced their activity in response to predation risk cues. None of the life‐history parameters of B. taeniata were affected by the predator, but tadpoles accelerated their development in warmer water. Our study is the first in South America to analyze the interactions between a common assemblage of tadpoles and caddisfly larvae and their impact on leaf litter breakdown when they experience predation risk. The model used here contributes to our understanding of ecosystem processes such as leaf litter breakdown and the impact of different biotic and abiotic variables when foragers co‐occur in the food webs of temporary aquatic systems.

Published: January 2023

AbstractRationaleThe number of pediatric surgeries is constantly increasing. Evaluating anxiety levels in pediatric surgical patients is highly important in terms of preventing complications.Aims and ObjectivesThe purpose of this study is to cross‐culturally adapt to the Turkish version, and to test the validity and reliability of Children's Perioperative Multidimensional Anxiety Scale (CPMAS).MethodThis methodological study was carried out with 50 children aged 7–10 years who underwent surgery at Bartın Obstetrics and Pediatrics Hospital between September 2021 and May 2022. The self‐reported CPMAS and Children's Anxiety Meter‐State (CAM‐S) were administered before the surgery, on the day of the surgery, and 1 month after the surgery to collect data. The internal consistency, test–retest reliability, parallel forms reliability, content validity, and construct validity of CPMAS were tested.ResultsChildren's Perioperative Multidimensional Anxiety Scale showed a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.858, 0.916, 0.864). The item‐total correlation values of CPMAS were found to be 0.58–0.71 before the surgery, 0.77–0.83 on the day of the surgery, and 0.60–0.80 1 month after the surgery. CPMAS was found to be a single‐factor scale explaining 65% of the variance in the examined variable. The correlations between CPMAS and CAM‐S (parallel forms) were found to be 0.474 before the surgery, 0.528 on the day of the surgery, and 0.599 1 month after the surgery.ConclusionThe CPMAS, which was developed by Chow et al. in English, had high validity and reliability levels for Turkey. It is recommended that the scale be used by healthcare professionals in Turkey in the assessment of surgery‐related anxiety in children.
Postoperative recovery in children: Turkish cross‐cultural adaptation
Authors: Kürtüncü Meltem , Kurt Aylin 
Published: January 2023

AbstractBackgroundPostoperative recovery is an individual process involving subjective experiences. The fact that children still experience high rates of complications associated with surgery requires the discovery of new evaluation methods. No studies in Turkey have reported a measurement instrument evaluating postoperative recovery in children. The purpose of this methodological study is to cross‐culturally adapt the Postoperative Recovery in Children (PRiC) instrument into the Turkish language and test the validity and reliability of its Turkish version.MethodsOne hundred children (81% male) aged 4 to 12 years undergoing tonsillectomy at a hospital were included. The self‐administered PRiC and Parents' Postoperative Pain Measure (PPPM) instruments were used to collect data on the 1st, 4th, and 10th days after surgery. Internal consistency, parallel‐forms reliability, content validity, and construct validity of the instruments were determined.ResultsPRiC had a three‐factor structure, and these factors explained 68% of the total variance in the variable it measured. It showed a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.842). The item‐total score correlation coefficients for 23 of the items were ≥0.30. PRiC was moderately correlated with PPPM on the 1st day after surgery (r = 0.64, p < .01), on the 4th day after surgery (r = 0.69, p < .01), and on the 10th day after surgery (r = 0.51, p < .01).ConclusionThe Turkish version of PRiC has good reliability and validity. A validity and reliability study of PRiC to assess children's postoperative recovery in the context of different surgical operations should be conducted.
Retrogressive moulting in khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium (Coleoptera: Dermestidae)

Published: January 2023

AbstractInsect larvae typically moult to grow, but here we investigate insect larvae that moult to shrink; that is, retrogressive moulting or retrogressive development. We demonstrate this phenomenon in khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium Everts (Dermestidae), among the world's most invasive pests of stored grains and cereal products, and a quarantine pest of interest for many countries. Larvae survived a 3‐month period of starvation, moulting up to six times and reducing their body mass by about half, on average. When reprovisioned with food, most larvae resumed the normal trajectory of development and pupated within a month. Thus, retrogressive development is a mechanism that may favour species whose resources exhibit feast‐or‐famine dynamics. By enabling survival during periods of privation, retrogressive development contributes to the invasiveness of the khapra beetle by allowing them to persist for long periods in empty storage facilities or empty containers used for international grain shipments.
Minimal invasiveness in gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures
Authors: Cairo Francesco , Burkhardt Rino 
Published: January 2023

AbstractMinimally invasive surgical procedures aim at optimal wound healing, a reduction of postoperative morbidity and, thus, at increased patient satisfaction. The present article reviews the concept of minimal invasiveness in gingival augmentation and root coverage procedures, and critically discusses the influencing factors, technical and nontechnical ones, and relates them to the underlying biological mechanisms. Furthermore, the corresponding outcomes of the respective procedures are assessed and evaluated in relation to a possible impact of a minimized surgical invasiveness on the clinical, aesthetic, and patient‐related results.
More than just experts for hire: A conceptualization of the roles of consultants in public policy formulation
Authors: Marciano Reut 
Published: January 2023

AbstractConsultants are increasingly a part of public policy formulation, and their policy involvement draws extensive interest in research and public debate. However, there is a gap in how we think about their formulation role: they are often conceptualized as a type of expert, while their actual interaction with and contribution to policy formulation is much more varied. This paper develops a conceptualization of consultants' formulation roles. It demonstrates that rather than just informing policy formulation, consultants take multiple roles and interact with policymaking and makers in multiple ways. Using a policy network/subsystem distinction and a substance/process distinction as the main axes for analysis, the paper develops four role categories: (1) experts and knowledge brokers, in which consultants provide policy advice and analysis; (2) seeing for the government, in which they construct a picture of the policy field; (3) legitimizers and validators, in which they provide symbolic capital to policy; and (4) channels for stakeholders' policy preferences, in which they manage deliberation and synthesize actors' policy preferences. The paper provides much‐needed clarity on how consultants engage with policy formulation and policymakers and forwards our understanding of how consultants exert their policy influence.
The Historical Presidency: Protecting a president and graymailing courts: Iran‐Contra and the obstruction of justice
Authors: McPherson Alan 
Published: January 2023

AbstractSpecial Counsel Robert Mueller's 2019 refusal to charge President Donald Trump with crimes resulted not only from what Mueller deemed insufficient evidence but also from the obstruction of the investigation itself, indicating an all‐too‐common pattern mitigating the independence of the judiciary when investigating the executive. The Iran‐Contra scandal of the Reagan–Bush era stands as a key antecedent when officials repeatedly destroyed evidence and impeded the work of investigators and courts to avoid punishment or embarrassment. While these acts may have been legal, they demonstrated the constitutional dependence of the judiciary on the executive for evidence and, more broadly, the lack of regard for the role of justice in a democracy.

Published: January 2023

AbstractConcurrent transcranial magnetic stimulation with functional MRI (concurrent TMS‐fMRI) allows real‐time causative probing of brain connectivity. However, technical challenges, safety, and tolerability may limit the number of trials employed during a concurrent TMS‐fMRI experiment. We leveraged an existing data set with 100 trials of active TMS compared to a sub‐threshold control condition to assess the reliability of the evoked BOLD response during concurrent TMS‐fMRI. This data will permit an analysis of the minimum number of trials that should be employed in a concurrent TMS‐fMRI protocol in order to achieve reliable spatial changes in activity. Single‐subject maps of brain activity were created by splitting the trials within the same experimental session into groups of 50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, or 10 trials, correlations (R) between t‐maps derived from paired subsets of trials within the same individual were calculated as reliability. R was moderate‐high for 50 trials (mean R = .695) and decreased as the number of trials decreased. Consistent with previous findings of high individual variability in the spatial patterns of evoked neuronal changes following a TMS pulse, the spatial pattern of Rs differed across participants, but regional R was correlated with the magnitude of TMS‐evoked activity. These results demonstrate concurrent TMS‐fMRI produces a reliable pattern of activity at the individual level at higher trial numbers, particularly within localized regions. The spatial pattern of reliability is individually idiosyncratic and related to the individual pattern of evoked changes.
Event pattern analysis: Spatial clustering of sequential events and temporal change of events over time
Authors: Sadahiro Yukio 
Published: January 2023

AbstractThis article develops a method for analyzing spatial and temporal event patterns. Events in this article refer to zero‐dimensional objects in the spatiotemporal dimension, which represent the occurrence of crimes, traffic accidents, earthquakes, and so forth. The spatial clustering of sequential events and the increase and decrease in events over time are discussed. These patterns are often observed and analyzed in various academic fields, such as criminology, epidemiology, and geography. However, analytical methods for these patterns have not yet been fully developed. To fill the research gap, this article proposes a new method for analyzing these event patterns. Two statistical measures are utilized, one represents the degree of the spatial clustering of sequential events, and the other evaluates the increase and decrease of events over time. The method is applied to the analysis of the spatial and temporal patterns of the openings of new shops and restaurants in Shibuya‐ku, Tokyo. The results gave us interesting empirical findings and indicated the soundness of the method.
One-Step Patterned Contact-Resistance-Free Stretchable Strain Sensors With High Linearity and Repeatability for Body-Motion Detection

Published: January 2023

AbstractMost of the resistive-type stretchable strain sensors exhibit large sensing ranges and high sensitivity but suboptimal repeatability and linearity because of the contact-resistance mechanism. To achieve high repeatability and linearity, several sensors with contact-resistance-free structures are proposed. However, due to the different geometric layouts of the conductive materials and the insulating substrates, the patterning of these sensors requires multiple processes including photolithography and etching, which may cause high costs and are not suitable for consumer wearable applications. Here, we report a design for stretchable strain sensors based on a one-step patterned contact-resistance-free structure, i.e., the independent-sensing-and-stretchable-function structure (ISSFS). The stretchability mainly comes from the overall large deformation of the wide curved segments (the stretchable parts), while the resistance variation is mainly attributed to the tensile strain of the narrow straight segments (the sensing parts). High linearity (R2 = 0.999) and repeatability (repeatability error = 1.44%) are achieved because neither unstable contact resistance nor nonlinear constitutive and geometric behaviors occur during the sensing process. The conductive materials and the insulating substrates do not need to have different geometric layouts; thus, they can be patterned by only one-step laser cutting. The proposed sensors show great potential in body-motion detection for wearable devices.
Sparse-View X-Ray CT Reconstruction using CAD Model Registration

Published: January 2023

Abstract
X-ray Computed Tomography is a powerful non-destructive testing tool increasingly used by manufacturers to ensure the conformity of the produced parts. Despite growing interest, it is struggling to establish itself in online testing applications due to the large number of X-ray projections required to ensure a good reconstructed image. To reduce this number of projections from a few hundred to a few dozens while still getting satisfying reconstruction quality, we propose to infer a so-called mask on the volume to be reconstructed. By constraining the back-projection of the acquired X-ray projections only on this mask, corresponding to the voxels of the volume containing matter, iterative reconstruction algorithms, already very efficient at a low number of views compared to the traditional FDK, can better reconstruct an object, and with fewer computational resources. However, this technique requires a preliminary step: registering the experimental data to the a priori mask data. This paper presents a 3D/2D registration method based on Iterative Inverse Perspective Matching that registers a 3D CAD model to experimental projections. Then, we will explain how to construct the mask and use it during the reconstruction.
Guided Waves in Pipes Versus Lamb Waves in Plates - A Convergence Analysis

Published: January 2023

Abstract
This work is concerned the with analysis of the convergence of guided waves in pipes to Lamb waves in plates for isotropic materials. The main goal is to be able to define a threshold frequency above which it is reasonable to approximate waves propagating in a pipe with a certain wall thickness to radius ratio as Lamb waves. The study involves a detailed comparison of velocity differences for symmetric and antisymmetric waves in plates versus longitudinal and flexural modes in pipes. Phase and group velocities of pipes with various wall thickness-to-radius ratios are compared to a plate of corresponding thickness. An empirical convergence criterion is defined to determine the frequency above which a pipe will have a plate-like response. It is shown that “convergence” may already be reached at frequencies commonly used for nondestructive testing purposes. Analytical considerations are supported and validated by experimental results, showing good agreement of predicted and measured wave velocities.

Published: January 2023

Abstract
Because the surface corrosion damage could susceptibly occur in metallic structures for the corrosive environment and fatigue loads, it essential to detect the corrosion timely and precisely before the loss of life and property caused by corrosion. Based on low-frequency Lamb wave technique, the low-frequency A0 Lamb wave, the low-frequency S0 Lamb wave and one-way S0-A0 Lamb mixing wave are experimentally investigated in the thin plates with the early stage damage caused by the surface corrosion, which were made by different times of hydrochloric corrosion. Firstly, it verified that the damage degree of the surface corrosion region increases with the number of corrosion times by the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Secondly, the linear and nonlinear effect caused by corrosion had been investigated, and the relationship between the characters of the different Lamb waves and the different corrosion damage levels were qualitatively discussed. Especially, the length and the location of the corrosion region were located successfully by one-way S0-A0 Lamb mixing wave. This paper explores experimentally the propagation mechanism of low frequency linear and nonlinear Lamb wave in thin plates with corrosion damage, which can provide an experimental basis for Lamb-wave detection techniques used in the evaluation and location of damages.
