AbstractMost Parabasalia are symbionts in the hindgut of “lower” (non‐Termitidae) termites, where they widely vary in morphology and degree of morphological complexity. Large and complex cells in the class Cristamonadea evolved by replicating a fundamental unit, the karyomastigont, in various ways. We describe here four new species of Calonymphidae (Cristamonadea) from Rugitermes hosts, assigned to the genus Snyderella based on diagnostic features (including the karyomastigont pattern) and molecular phylogeny. We also report a new genus of Calonymphidae, Daimonympha, from Rugitermes laticollis. Daimonympha's morphology does not match that of any known Parabasalia, and its SSU rRNA gene sequence corroborates this distinction. Daimonympha does however share a puzzling feature with a few previously described, but distantly related, Cristamonadea: a rapid, smooth, and continuous rotation of the anterior end of the cell, including the many karyomastigont nuclei. The function of this rotatory movement, the cellular mechanisms enabling it, and the way the cell deals with the consequent cell membrane shear, are all unknown. “Rotating wheel” structures are famously rare in biology, with prokaryotic flagella being the main exception; these mysterious spinning cells found only among Parabasalia are another, far less understood, example.

Authors: Raoof Maryam , Verhoeff Merel C. , Kooshki Razieh , Aarab Ghizlane , Lobbezoo Frank 
Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundObstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) is a highly prevalent problem with significant consequences. Continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) and oral mandibular advancement device (MAD) are considered the standard treatments for OSA. Patients may experience self‐reported oral moistening disorders (OMDs) (i.e. xerostomia or drooling) at the beginning, throughout and after treatment. This affects oral health, quality of life and treatment effectiveness. The exact nature of the associations between OSA and self‐reported OMD is still unknown. We aimed to provide an overview of the associations between self‐reported OMD on the one hand and OSA and its treatment (namely CPAP and MAD) on the other hand. In addition, we sought to determine whether OMD affects treatment adherence.Materials and MethodsA literature search in PubMed was performed up to 27 September 2022. Two researchers independently assessed studies for eligibility.ResultsIn total, 48 studies were included. Thirteen papers investigated the association between OSA and self‐reported OMD. They all suggested an association between OSA and xerostomia but not between OSA and drooling. The association between CPAP and OMD was addressed in 20 articles. The majority of studies have indicated xerostomia as a CPAP side effect; however, some have observed that xerostomia diminishes with CPAP therapy. In 15 papers, the association between MAD and OMD was investigated. In most publications, both xerostomia and drooling have been described as common side effects of MADs. These side effects are often mild and transient, and they improve as patients continue to use their appliance. Most studies found that these OMDs do not cause or are not a strong predictor of non‐compliance.ConclusionXerostomia is a common side effect of CPAP and MAD, as well as a significant symptom of OSA. It may be regarded as one of the indicators of sleep apnoea. Moreover, MAD therapy can be associated with OMD. However, it seems that OMD may be mitigated by being adherent to the therapy.
Pricing energy consumption and residential energy‐efficiency investment: An optimal tax approach
Authors: Crampes Claude , Ladoux Norbert , Lozachmeur Jean‐Marie 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe analyze a Pareto optimal income tax problem à la Mirrlees in which households consume three types of goods: energy goods, energy‐efficient investments, and nonenergy goods. The two main ingredients of our normative analysis are: (i) an indirect relationship between energy and the satisfaction of energy needs, as energy‐efficient investments transform energy into services, such as light, heating, and air conditioning; and (ii) imperfect information of the policy designer as regards the level of energy efficiency of households' housing and their labor market productivity. Each household differs with respect to these two latter characteristics, and the government designs a nonlinear income tax combined with energy and energy‐efficient investment nonlinear pricing that maximizes a weighted sum of households' utilities. We show that a benevolent social planner should distort energy prices in a way that depends on the difference between the saturation of energy needs and the complementarity between energy and the level of energy efficiency in the provision of energy services. A sufficient condition for energy consumption to be subsidized is that the rebound effect is small. Second, when individuals can invest in energy efficiency on top of energy consumption, these investments should always be subsidized and the marginal subsidy should always be higher than the one on energy consumption.

Published: June 2023

AbstractBackgroundAccurately estimating baseline kidney function is essential for diagnosing acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We developed and evaluated novel equations to estimate baseline creatinine in patients with AKI on CKD.MethodsWe retrospectively analysed 5649 adults with AKI out of 11 254 CKD patients, dividing them evenly into derivation and validation groups. Using quantiles regression, we created equations to estimate baseline creatinine, considering historical creatinine values, months since measurement, age, and sex from the derivation dataset. We assessed performance against back‐estimation equations and unadjusted historical creatinine values using the validation dataset.ResultsThe optimal equation adjusted the most recent creatinine value for time since measurement and sex. Estimates closely matched the actual baseline at AKI onset, with median (95% confidence interval) differences of just 0.9% (−0.8% to 2.1%) and 0.6% (−1.6% to 3.9%) when the most recent value was within 6 months to 30 days and 2 years to 6 months before AKI onset, respectively. The equation improved AKI event reclassification by an additional 2.5% (2.0% to 3.0%) compared to the unadjusted most recent creatinine value and 7.3% (6.2% to 8.4%) compared to the CKD‐EPI 2021 back‐estimation equation.ConclusionCreatinine levels drift in patients with CKD, causing false positives in AKI detection without adjustment. Our novel equation adjusts the most recent creatinine value for drift over time. It provides more accurate baseline creatinine estimation in patients with suspected AKI on CKD, which reduces false‐positive AKI detection, improving patient care and management.
Trade liberalization along the firm size distribution: The case of the EU‐South Korea FTA
Authors: Chowdhry Sonali , Felbermayr Gabriel 
Published: June 2023

AbstractLeading theories suggest that amongst continuing exporters, lower variable trade costs should boost exports of smaller firms by the same or greater percentage rate than larger firms. However, investigating the impact of the deep EU‐South Korea FTA with French customs data, we find robust evidence to the contrary. Applying a triple‐difference framework, we report that the FTA increased sales in the top quartile of continuous exporters by 71.5% points more than in the bottom quartile. More than 90% of that growth premium is driven by reductions in NTBs. These findings suggest an additional channel driving the distributional effects of FTAs.

AbstractAimTo compare oral health indicators of children/adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) with a group of children/adolescents without DS.Methods and ResultsThis cross‐sectional study included 144 individuals with DS, ages 4 to 18 years, matched for age and sex with a group of 144 individuals without DS, and their parents/caregivers. Parents/caregivers completed a questionnaire regarding sociodemographic information and habits related to their children's oral health. Clinical examination of the children/adolescents evaluated dental caries experience (DMFT/dmft), bleeding on periodontal probing, presence of visible plaque, clinical consequences of untreated dental caries (PUFA/pufa), and malocclusion (DAI). The chi‐square test, linear by linear test, and Mann‐Whitney test were used to compare the variables between the groups (p < .05). Children/adolescents without DS brushed their teeth more times per day (p < .001) and had a higher frequency of daily sugar intake (p < .001). The children/adolescents in the DS group had a greater presence of gingival bleeding (p < .001) and had a greater number of cases of “severe malocclusion” and “very severe malocclusion” (p = .001). No difference was found in the prevalence of dental caries between the two groups.ConclusionThe children/adolescents in the DS group had a greater presence of gingival bleeding during the clinical examination and had a greater need for orthodontic treatment.
Moving towards holistic rehabilitation – A qualitative study exploring how people diagnosed with cancer and cancer survivors experience a dance‐like intervention

AbstractBackgroundRehabilitation that supports the individual on the journey back to their usual selves after cancer treatment becomes increasingly important. Studies have shown that a focus on the connection between body and mind might be beneficial. Consequently, Whole Person Care and initiatives that fall in line with this holistic approach to health care, such as a dance‐like intervention needs further examination. The aim of this study was to explore the qualitative aspects of 5Rhythms® as experienced by people diagnosed with cancer.MethodA total of 29 (17 in 2017) participants were recruited through purposeful sampling. Participants underwent one 5Rhythms® session per week for 2 months. This qualitative study with a phenomenological approach used diaries and individual interviews as its methods for data collection. Data were analysed using Giorgi's phenomenological framework and Maurice Merleau‐Ponty's theoretical perspectives on phenomenological approaches to the body, perception and consciousness were applied.ResultsThree main themes (‘(now) I sense my entire body’, ‘Something liberating is happening inside my body’ and ‘We travel together’) and five connecting sub‐themes were identified through the analysis process.ConclusionParticipating in 5Rhythms® contributed to reconnecting body and soul during or after battling cancer. It evoked thoughts and feelings of existential matter. Results suggest that participating in 5Rhythms® can assist in personal growth. The benefit of being among peers while on the path to recovery was also illuminated. In regard to rehabilitation, this study underlines the importance of being aware of the connection between body and mind.
Are moderate levels of stress particularly dangerous for relationship satisfaction? A conceptual replication of Tesser and Beach (1998)
Authors: Williamson Hannah C. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractThe well‐documented negative impact of daily stressors on relational well‐being, juxtaposed with emerging evidence indicating that major stressors can have a positive impact on relational well‐being, suggests that the association between stress and relational well‐being may not be monotonic. Tesser and Beach originally raised this possibility in a 1998 study in which they found that the association between stress and individual well‐being was linear, whereas the association with relational well‐being was non‐linear. The current study sought to conceptually replicate this study within the context of the COVID‐19 pandemic by examining associations between stress and individual versus relational well‐being, using a sample of 654 individuals who were in a committed relationship in the early weeks of the pandemic. Results were somewhat consistent with those of the original study: the association between stress and depression was linear, but the association between stress and relationship satisfaction was non‐linear. However, the form of the association between stress and relationship satisfaction was different than observed in the original study. These results point toward the need to better understand how the severity of a stressor impacts relational outcomes, including the characteristics of stress that lead to stress spillover and the circumstances under which relational outcomes are resilient to high levels of stress.
Won't you be my neighbor? Local community identification predicted decreased stress over the first year of the COVID‐19 pandemic

AbstractSocial identities are an important resource, especially during times of crisis. They provide shared meaning, as well as access to social and instrumental support. The COVID‐19 pandemic, although global in nature, was experienced very locally; many people stopped traveling and were often confined to their homes and neighborhoods. We reasoned this would make American residents' local community identities especially important. We collected data at five time points between April 2020 and March 2021 and measured American adults' social identification with their local community, identification with a self‐nominated important group, and stress. We found that stress decreased over the first few months of the pandemic, then leveled out. Importantly, this decrease was more pronounced among people who strongly identified with their local communities. Furthermore, community identities were stronger predictors of stress decreases than social groups that respondents themselves nominated as highly important to them (e.g., family, friends). These results held controlling for age, gender, political conservatism, and other variables. This research provides important insights into the importance of social identities, and specifically local communities, during times of crisis.
Health worries, sociopolitical attitudes, or both? Prospective predictors of COVID‐19 vaccine uptake in the Czech Republic
Authors: Šerek Jan , Klicperová‐Baker Martina 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWe examined the effects of health worries and sociopolitical attitudes on subsequent COVID‐19 vaccine uptake. To avoid the potential bias of cross‐sectional research, we analyzed whether these variables were able to predict the vaccine uptake prospectively, that is, when measured at the beginning of the nationwide vaccination campaign. The source of data was a longitudinal quota panel of 863 (T1 March 2021) and 641 (T2 May 2022) adult citizens of the Czech Republic. Besides health worries, the survey covered distrust in politicians, submission to political authorities, and trust in people. Results showed that the likelihood of getting vaccinated against COVID‐19 at T2 was higher for participants who were more worried about the impact of COVID‐19 on their health and less distrustful of politicians at T1. Furthermore, a general trust in people at T1 predicted a more likely vaccine uptake at T2, while political submission had no effect. These results corroborate the roles of both health concerns and sociopolitical attitudes in COVID‐19 vaccine uptake.

SUMMARYLegumes represent an important component of human and livestock diets; they are rich in macro‐ and micronutrients such as proteins, dietary fibers and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Whilst several health‐promoting and anti‐nutritional properties have been associated with grain content, in‐depth metabolomics characterization of major legume species remains elusive. In this article, we used both gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC‐MS) to assess the metabolic diversity in the five legume species commonly grown in Europe, including common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), lentil (Lens culinaris), white lupin (Lupinus albus) and pearl lupin (Lupinus mutabilis), at the tissue level. We were able to detect and quantify over 3400 metabolites covering major nutritional and anti‐nutritional compounds. Specifically, the metabolomics atlas includes 224 derivatized metabolites, 2283 specialized metabolites and 923 lipids. The data generated here will serve the community as a basis for future integration to metabolomics‐assisted crop breeding and facilitate metabolite‐based genome‐wide association studies to dissect the genetic and biochemical bases of metabolism in legume species.

Published: June 2023

SUMMARYRice flowering is triggered by transcriptional reprogramming at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) mediated by florigenic proteins produced in leaves in response to changes in photoperiod. Florigens are more rapidly expressed under short days (SDs) compared to long days (LDs) and include the HEADING DATE 3a (Hd3a) and RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T1 (RFT1) phosphatidylethanolamine binding proteins. Hd3a and RFT1 are largely redundant at converting the SAM into an inflorescence, but whether they activate the same target genes and convey all photoperiodic information that modifies gene expression at the SAM is currently unclear. We uncoupled the contribution of Hd3a and RFT1 to transcriptome reprogramming at the SAM by RNA sequencing of dexamethasone‐inducible over‐expressors of single florigens and wild‐type plants exposed to photoperiodic induction. Fifteen highly differentially expressed genes common to Hd3a, RFT1, and SDs were retrieved, 10 of which still uncharacterized. Detailed functional studies on some candidates revealed a role for LOC_Os04g13150 in determining tiller angle and spikelet development and the gene was renamed BROADER TILLER ANGLE 1 (BRT1). We identified a core set of genes controlled by florigen‐mediated photoperiodic induction and defined the function of a novel florigen target controlling tiller angle and spikelet development.

Published: June 2023

Since COVID-19 outbreak hit China in December 2019, there has been a “narrative battle” between China and the US. Roughly 89% U.S. adults consider China a competitor or enemy, rather than a partner, according to a Pew Research Center survey in Otc. 2020. Faced with accusations internationally, there appears rising attacks and unfavourable feelings towards Asian people in the US during COVID-19, which leads to social exclusion and discrimination to Asian, especially the Chinese in the US. In the meantime, the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened a rising tide of nationalism in China, amplifying pre-existing nationalist and protectionist trends. According to a survey from Carter Center and RIWI (2021), 62% of Chinese internet-using population shows unfavorable feeling towards the US. As media plays a significant role in society in shaping public opinions, it is of significant to explore how the media reports accelerate the anti-sentiments towards each other. Although scholars have started to explore media reports during the pandemic, very less is known about how the COVID-19 pandemic is reported, discussed, and presented in the Chinese and American media from critical discouse analysis (CDA). This study will comparatively evaluate 36 editorials from China Daily (CD) and New York Times (NYT) with regards to ideological square framework. Based on data analysis, the study indicates that not only the headings, but also the media substance constructs a type of conflicting relations. Through positivizing “us” and negativizing “them”, both media accelerate the unfavorable feeling towards each other. This study suggests that both media should rationally report the pandemic, and people should work together to preserve our lives and live in peace.
Semi-Parametric Functional Calibration Using Uncertainty Quantification Based Decision Support

Published: June 2023

Abstract
While most calibration methods focus on inferring a set of model parameters that are unknown but assumed to be constant, many models have parameters that have a functional relation with the controllable input variables. Formulating a low-dimensional approximation of these calibration functions allows modelers to use low-fidelity models to explore phenomena at lengths and time scales unattainable with their high-fidelity sources. While functional calibration methods are available for low-dimensional problems (e.g., one to three unknown calibration functions), exploring high-dimensional spaces of unknown calibration functions (e.g., more than ten) is still a challenging task due to its computational cost and the risk for identifiability issues. To address this challenge, we introduce a semiparametric calibration method that uses an approximate Bayesian computation scheme to quantify the uncertainty in the unknown calibration functions and uses this insight to identify what functions can be replaced with low-dimensional approximations. Through a test problem and a coarse-grained model of an epoxy resin, we demonstrate that the introduced method enables the identification of a low-dimensional set of calibration functions with a limited compromise in calibration accuracy. The novelty of the presented method is the ability to synthesize domain knowledge from various sources (i.e., physical experiments, simulation models, and expert insight) to enable high-dimensional functional calibration without the need for prior knowledge on the class of unknown calibration functions.
