An assessment for measuring loneliness, anxiety, and depression in male patients with androgenetic alopecia undergoing hair transplantation surgery: A before‐after study
Authors: Nilforoushzadeh Mohammad Ali , Golparvaran Maryam 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundAndrogenetic alopecia has a significant influence on the patients' loneliness, anxiety, and depression, although there are numerous strategies to improve the patients' loneliness, anxiety, and depression.AimsDetermine whether hair transplant operation improves loneliness, anxiety, and depression in patients.Patients/MethodsThere were 35 patients recruited from the clinic. Using questionnaires (UCLA and HADS), the subjects were evaluated for their levels of loneliness, anxiety, and depression before and after hair transplant. To compare the means of quantitative outcomes, a paired t‐test was administered. The Chi‐square test was employed to compare qualitatively the preoperative and postoperative measures. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was used to assess the impact of marital status and educational level on outcome variables. If p < 0.05, differences were deemed significant.ResultsOur findings demonstrated a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between pre‐ and post‐operative hair transplantation for HADS‐anxiety and depression, with the mean anxiety and depression score improving to 3.32. In terms of the UCLA, there was a statistically significant change between the two groups (p < 0.001), and the average loneliness score improved to 4.48. There was also a statistically significant relationship between marital status and loneliness (p < 0.001), educational level and loneliness (p < 0.001), anxiety and depression (p < 0.001).ConclusionThis research found that hair transplantation surgery improves psychosocial outcomes, with affected patients experiencing less loneliness, anxiety, and sadness after surgery than before.

AbstractObjectiveThis multimethod, short‐term longitudinal study examined the effect of interparental marital adjustment on Chinese preschool children's prosocial behavior, and further explored the mediating effect of child executive function in this process.BackgroundAlthough children from families characterized by high marital adjustment have been found to exhibit more prosocial behaviors, less is known about the longitudinal association between marital adjustment and peer nominations of child prosocial behavior and, more importantly, the cognitive mechanisms generating this association.MethodA total of 307 mothers and their 2–6‐year‐olds (151 boys, 156 girls) from mainland China participated in this study. Mothers were required to report on their marital adjustment (T1); their children were interviewed to nominate classmates who displayed more prosocial behaviors 5 months later (T2). In addition, child executive function abilities, including working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility, were assessed with three cognitive tasks at T2.ResultsMother‐reported marital adjustment at T1 was positively related to peer nominations of prosocial behavior at T2, even after accounting for child gender and age. A latent construct of child executive function mediated this relationship. Specifically, better marital adjustment (T1) predicted greater child executive function (T2), which in turn was associated with more child prosocial behaviors (T2).ConclusionExecutive function explains the association between marital adjustment and peer nominations of prosocial behavior in preschoolers. This finding suggests that preschool children's prosocial behavior may be effectively promoted through efforts to improve marital adjustment and strengthen child executive function.

AbstractThis paper studies the impact of urban density, city government efficiency, and medical resources on COVID‐19 infection and death outcomes in China. We adopt a simultaneous spatial dynamic panel data model to account for (i) the simultaneity of infection and death outcomes, (ii) the spatial pattern of the transmission, (iii) the intertemporal dynamics of the disease, and (iv) the unobserved city‐specific and time‐specific effects. We find that, while population density increases the level of infections, government efficiency significantly mitigates the negative impact of urban density. We also find that the availability of medical resources improves public health outcomes conditional on lagged infections. Moreover, there exists significant heterogeneity at different phases of the epidemiological cycle.

Published: October 2022

AbstractThis study evaluated the collateral, or unanticipated, impacts of Smart Beginnings (SB), a two‐site, tiered intervention designed to promote responsive parenting and school readiness, on breastfeeding intensity in a low‐income sample. Impact analyses for the SB intervention were conducted using an intent‐to‐treat design leveraging a two‐arm random assignment structure. Mothers assigned to the SB intervention group were more than three times more likely to give breastmilk as the only milk source at infant age 6 months than mothers assigned to the control group at one site, an effect not evident at the other study site. As development and growth are the two most salient domains of child health, understanding how interventions impact subsequent parenting practices across both domains is critical to address long‐term economic and racial/ethnic disparities. Implications of the findings are discussed for improving the efficacy of interventions based on paediatric primary care.
Stable coexistence or competitive exclusion? Fern endophytes demonstrate rapid turnover favouring a dominant fungus

Published: October 2022

AbstractFungal endophytes are critical members of the plant microbiome, but their community dynamics throughout an entire growing season are underexplored. Additionally, most fungal endophyte research has centred on seed‐reproducing hosts, while spore‐reproducing plants also host endophytes and may be colonized by unique community members. In order to examine annual fungal endophyte community dynamics in a spore‐reproducing host, we explored endophytes in a single population of ferns, Polystichum munitum, in the Pacific Northwest. Through metabarcoding, we characterized the community assembly and temporal turnover of foliar endophytes throughout a growing season. From these results, we selected endophytes with outsized representations in sequence data and performed in vitro competition assays. Finally, we inoculated sterile fern gametophytes with dominant fungi observed in the field and determined their effects on host performance. Sequencing demonstrated that ferns were colonized by a diverse community of fungal endophytes in newly emerged tissue, but diversity decreased throughout the season leading to the preponderance of a single fungus in later sampling months. This previously undescribed endophyte appears to abundantly colonize the host to the detriment of other microfungi. Competition assays on a variety of media types failed to demonstrate that the dominant fungus was competitive against other fungi isolated from the same hosts, and inoculation onto sterile fern gametophytes did not alter growth compared to sterile controls, suggesting its effects are not antagonistic. The presence of this endophyte in the fern population probably demonstrates a case of repeated colonization driving competitive exclusion of other fungal community members.
Approaching God Aesthetically in Modern Jewish Thought
Authors: Rynhold Daniel 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDrawing on the writings of the twentieth‐century rabbi‐philosopher Joseph Soloveitchik (1903‐93), and in particular his observations on the nature and value of the aesthetic, this article sketches one element of a larger project that will explore an aesthetic approach to God and religion. The claim here is that bringing Soloveitchik into dialogue with Friedrich Nietzsche, and in particular Nietzsche’s claims in The Birth of Tragedy regarding how the world and existence can only be justified as “aesthetic phenomena,” can act as a springboard for constructing a picture whereby: (1) the experience of the halakhic life can play a life‐affirming role for its more sophisticated practitioners, parallel to that played by aesthetic phenomena in Nietzsche’s thought; (2) it is the aesthetic element of halakhic practice that explains how it can do this; and (3) these aesthetic elements of halakhic practice enable its practitioners, in varying ways, to experience halakhah as mediating a relationship with a God who cannot be comprehended propositionally.
Nationalism and European disintegration
Authors: Wellings Ben 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThe politics of the European Union's crises of the 2010s required the emergence of analyses and theorisation that sought to explain the possibility of Europeandisintegration. This article makes a conceptual contribution to the emerging literature on European disintegration by arguing for the inclusion of nationalism as an important—yet under‐represented—variable in the politics and process of disintegration in the European Union. It draws together elements of enduring value in classical explanations of the rise and operation of nationalism in Europe from Ernest Gellner, Tom Nairn and John Breuilly, with a postfunctionalist emphasis on the politicisation of European Union politics at the member‐state level. The article concludes that a consideration of nationalism illuminates the process and politics of European disintegration by showing that the politics of European integration in the 2010s created nationalism rather than contained it, as it had been historically designed to do.

Published: October 2022

ObjectiveResearch on proximal fractures in the humeral bicipital groove (BG), a region in which bones are not commonly fractured, is considered sparse in the literature. The objective of this research was to present the definite characteristics and distribution of BG fractures.MethodsThis retrospective study included and enrolled 119 proximal humeral fractures in adult patients with complete radiography data to identify the fracture distribution in the BG from January 2021 to August 2021. The bicipital region was divided into three parts, i.e. the upper 1/3, middle 1/3, and lower 1/3 of the BG, and the distribution of fracture lines was transcribed on the male or female template, as appropriate. In addition, the normal contralateral humerus was used to calculate the cortical thickness of the supratubercular groove and different parts of the BG (upper, middle, and lower parts). The Mann–Whitney test or one‐way ANOVA along with LSD tests were used to determine differences in the fracture distribution and cortical thickness between men and women.ResultsFractures of the BG in both men and women were mainly located in the upper 2/3 region of the BG, especially in the middle 1/3 of the BG. There were significant differences in the cortical thickness of the BG in men compared with that in women. The cortical thickness was highest in the supratubercular ridge but not the BG in men and women, respectively.ConclusionThis research concluded that bony BG fractures were always observed in the middle part of the BG and were mainly found in patients with four fractures of the proximal humerus. As a unique fracture pattern, the existence of a bony BG fracture always means that a patient has been injured by a relatively severe mechanism, and more attention should be given to these proximal humeral fractures.
Unsuspected severe tracheal stenosis and tracheomalacia after correction surgery for congenital scoliosis: A case report
Authors: Wang Shengru , Li Ziquan , Guan Wenmin , Zhang Jianguo 
Published: October 2022

AbstractTracheal stenosis and tracheomalacia in patients with congenital scoliosis are serious and rare conditions caused by congenital dysplasia, postintubation injury, trauma, and tracheal tumor. Anesthesia of a child with tracheal stenosis is challenging for anesthesiologists. We describe an 8‐year‐old female patient developed severe tracheal stenosis and tracheomalacia after growing rod implantation for congenital scoliosis. Comprehensive assessment of preoperative pulmonary function and airway morphology, which can be neglected clinically, should be performed in congenital scoliosis patients.

SUMMARYHeterosis is extensively used to improve crop productivity, yet its allelic and chromatin regulation remains unclear. Based on our resolved genomes of the maternal TGY and paternal HD, we analyzed the contribution of allele‐specific expression (ASE) and chromatin accessibility of JGY and HGY, the artificial hybrids of oolong tea with the largest cultivated area in China. The ASE genes (ASEGs) of tea hybrids with maternal‐biased were mainly related to the energy and terpenoid metabolism pathways, whereas the ASEGs with paternal‐biased tend to be enriched in glutathione metabolism, and these parental bias of hybrids may coordinate and lead to the acquisition of heterosis in more biological pathways. ATAC‐seq results showed that hybrids have significantly higher accessible chromatin regions (ACRs) compared with their parents, which may confer broader and stronger transcriptional activity of genes in hybrids. The number of ACRs with significantly increased accessibility in hybrids was much greater than decreased, and the associated alleles were also affected by differential ACRs across different parents, suggesting enhanced positive chromatin regulation and potential genetic effects in hybrids. Core ASEGs of terpene and purine alkaloid metabolism pathways with significant positive heterosis have greater chromatin accessibility in hybrids, and were potentially regulated by several members of the MYB, DOF and TRB families. The binding motif of CsMYB85 in the promoter ACR of the rate‐limiting enzyme CsDXS was verified by DAP‐seq. These results suggest that higher numbers and more accessible ACRs in hybrids contribute to the regulation of ASEGs, thereby affecting the formation of heterotic metabolites.

Mapping the Chaotic Transitions of the Lorenz Equations With Unsupervised Machine Learning
Authors: Tribelhorn Ben , Dillon H. E. 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Prior work has explored utilizing machine learning for the Lorenz system in the time domain. In this work, we have focused on applications of machine learning for predicting the onset of chaotic transitions in the Lorenz system. Our methods included the development of a robust numerical solution to the Lorenz equations using a fourth order Runge–Kutta method. We solved the Lorenz equations for a large range of Raleigh ratios from 1 to 1000. We calculated the power spectral density, various descriptive statistics, and a cluster analysis using unsupervised machine learning. To identify behaviors and regions in the data, we utilize unsupervised learning as it is designed to assist in recognizing patterns without being told or trained by prior knowledge. We confirmed the performance of the machine learning system's ability to identify chaotic transitions independent of expert selection of Raleigh ratio ranges. The system correctly identifies the transitional behaviors described in prior mathematical work. The results indicate that the power spectral density is very important for the clustering. We also found that examining machine learning clusters by dimension (x, y, and z) was important to understand many of the facets of the chaotic transitions. The results provide a visual mapping of the regions where chaotic transitions may occur based on variations in the Prandtl number and geometry constant. Unsupervised machine learning may be used as a tool to characterize the transition regions for these geometries, providing new lenses for the heat transfer community.
Modeling of Traction Drive in Elastohydrodynamic Lubrication Contact and Traction Coefficient Enhancement Using Surface Texture Under High-Speed Conditions of up to 50,000 rpm
Authors: Yamamoto Takeshi 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
A high-speed electric motor with a small reducer that has high-power transmission efficiency can be used to realize a high-power-density powertrain system because electric motors can be miniaturized to increase the rotational speed. A traction drive has low vibration noise due to its lack of meshing vibration, making it suitable as a transmission element for high-speed reducers. However, the traction coefficient, which greatly affects transmission performance, decreases with increasing rotational speed. In this study, to increase the traction coefficient using a surface texture, a model that takes into account transient temperature changes under high-speed conditions and the effects of micro-surface geometry was developed. The traction coefficient was measured using a high-speed test machine capable of operating at a maximum speed of 50,000 rpm. The model was able to predict the experimental values with an error of at most 6%. The high-pressure rheological properties of the oil were examined to develop design guidelines for the surface texture and a model was used to optimize the texture parameters. The designed texture was manufactured and evaluated. Experimental results show that the traction coefficient can be improved by up to 19%.
The Dose–Response Relationship Between Training-Load Measures and Changes in Force–Time Components During a Countermovement Jump in Male Academy Soccer Players
Authors: Ellis Matthew , Myers Tony , Taylor Richard , Morris Rhys , Akubat Ibrahim 
Published: October 2022

Purpose: To manage physical performance in soccer, practitioners monitor the training load (TL) and the resulting fatigue. A method frequently used to assess performance is the countermovement jump (CMJ). However, the efficacy of CMJ to detect fatigue from soccer matches and training remains uncertain, as does the relationship between TL and change in CMJ performance. The aims of the present study were 2-fold. One was to observe the changes of CMJ force–time components and jump height (JH). The second was to examine dose–response relationships between TL measures and CMJ over a 6-week preseason. Methods: Twelve male academy soccer players (17 [1] y, 71.2 [5.6] kg, and 178 [5.8] cm) were recruited. Daily changes in CMJ were assessed against baseline scores established before preseason training, along with internal and external TL measures. A series of Bayesian random intercept models were fitted to determine probability of change above/below zero and greater than the coefficient of variation established at baseline. Jumps were categorized into match day minus (MD−) categories where the higher number indicated more time from a competitive match. Results: JH was lowest on MD − 3 (28 cm) and highest on MD − 4 (34.6 cm), with the probability of change from baseline coefficient of variation highly uncertain (41% and 61%, respectively). Changes to force–time components were more likely on MD − 3 (21%–99%), which provided less uncertainty than JH. Bayes R2 ranged from .22 to .57 between TL measures and all CMJ parameters. Conclusions: Force–time components were more likely to change than JH. Practitioners should also be cautious when manipulating TL measures to influence CMJ performance.

Background
Spinal cord ischemia (SCI) remains a devastating complication after aortic dissection or repair. A primary hypoxic damage is followed by a secondary damage resulting in further cellular loss via apoptosis. Affected patients have a poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Shock wave therapy (SWT) improves functional outcome, neuronal degeneration and survival in murine spinal cord injury. In this first‐in‐human study we treated 5 patients with spinal cord ischemia with SWT aiming to prove safety and feasibility.

Methods and Results

Human neurons were subjected to ischemic injury with subsequent SWT. Reactive oxygen species and cellular apoptosis were quantified using flow cytometry. Signaling of the antioxidative transcription factor NRF2 (nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2) and immune receptor Toll‐like receptor 3 (TLR3) were analyzed. To assess whether SWT act via a conserved mechanism, transgenic
tlr3
−/−
zebrafish created via CRISPR/Cas9 were subjected to spinal cord injury. To translate our findings into a clinical setting, 5 patients with SCI underwent SWT. Baseline analysis and follow‐up (6 months) included assessment of American Spinal Cord Injury Association (ASIA) impairment scale, evaluation of Spinal Cord Independence Measure score and World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaire. SWT reduced the number of reactive oxygen species positive cells and apoptosis upon ischemia via induction of the antioxidative factor nuclear factor erythroid 2‐related factor 2. Inhibition or deletion of
tlr3
impaired axonal growth after spinal cord lesion in zebrafish, whereas
tlr3
stimulation enhanced spinal regeneration. In a first‐in‐human study, we treated 5 patients with SCI using SWT (mean age, 65.3 years). Four patients presented with acute aortic dissection (80%), 2 of them exhibited preoperative neurological symptoms (40%). Impairment was ASIA A in 1 patient (20%), ASIA B in 3 patients (60%), and ASIA D in 1 patient (20%) at baseline. At follow‐up, 2 patients were graded as ASIA A (40%) and 3 patients as ASIA B (60%). Spinal cord independence measure score showed significant improvement. Examination of World Health Organization Quality of Life questionnaires revealed increased scores at follow‐up.

Conclusions
SWT reduces oxidative damage upon SCI via immune receptor TLR3. The first‐in‐human application proved safety and feasibility in patients with SCI. SWT could therefore become a powerful regenerative treatment option for this devastating injury.
