AbstractBackground and purposeReduced facial expression of emotions is a very frequent symptom of Parkinson's disease (PD) and has been considered part of the motor features of the disease. However, the neural correlates of hypomimia and the relationship between hypomimia and other non‐motor symptoms of PD are poorly understood.MethodsThe clinical and structural brain correlates of hypomimia were studied. For this purpose, cross‐sectional data from the COPPADIS study database were used. Age, disease duration, levodopa equivalent daily dose, Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale part III (UPDRS‐III), severity of apathy and depression and global cognitive status were collected. At the imaging level, analyses based on gray matter volume and cortical thickness were used.ResultsAfter controlling for multiple confounding variables such as age or disease duration, the severity of hypomimia was shown to be indissociable from the UPDRS‐III speech and bradykinesia items and was significantly related to the severity of apathy (β = 0.595; p < 0.0001). At the level of neural correlates, hypomimia was related to motor regions brodmann area 8 (BA 8) and to multiple fronto‐temporo‐parietal regions involved in the decoding, recognition and production of facial expression of emotions.ConclusionReduced facial expressivity in PD is related to the severity of symptoms of apathy and is mediated by the dysfunction of brain systems involved in motor control and in the recognition, integration and expression of emotions. Therefore, hypomimia in PD may be conceptualized not exclusively as a motor symptom but as a consequence of a multidimensional deficit leading to a symptom where motor and non‐motor aspects converge.
Aimless Agency: Religious Engagement in an Uncertain World
Authors: Cassaniti Julia L. , Chladek Michael R. 
Published: July 2022

AbstractBronislaw Malinowski suggested nearly a century ago that a key purpose of religious engagement is to provide a sense of stability in the face of uncertainty. This close relationship between religion and stability is often presumed by scholars today, but, we argue, it is not as universal as is often supposed. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic research in Northern Thailand, we show how Thai Buddhists actively and strategically remind themselves of the inherent precarity of the future, rather than seek to minimize it. Analyzing rhetoric that draws on shared understandings of the uncertain in day‐to‐day religious practice, we show how Thai Buddhists strive for what we call “aimless agency”: a psychological acceptance of future unknowability. We use this ethnographic example to suggest further work on the social implications of impermanence and the importance of paying greater attention to cultural variability in religious approaches to an uncertain world.

ObjectivesTo identify and raise awareness of the radiation exposure of urologists due to X‐ray fluoroscopic procedures in daily practice.MethodsThis was a single‐center, cohort study of 30 consecutive patients who underwent periodic percutaneous or transurethral replacements of urinary tract catheters. A total of 55 replacements every 3 months with cases aligned were performed by a single urologist. The urologist's radiation exposure and the incident dose to patients per case were measured with thermoluminescent dosimeters. In the latter 3‐month period, the pulse fluoroscopy condition was changed from 15 to 7.5 pulses per second, and collimation was added to the field of view.ResultsIn the analysis of all patients, the use of a modified pulse rate and collimation did not affect the fluoroscopy time, but it did significantly reduce the air kerma and dose area product; in addition, with respect to the medical exposure dose during percutaneous catheter replacement, fluoroscopy time was longer, but air kerma and dose area product showed significant decreases. As with decreases in medical exposure of patients, the equivalent dose for eye lenses of the urologist decreased from 1.2 mSv in the first 3‐month period to 0.2 mSv in the second 3‐month period. Similarly, the exposure dose for the extremities also decreased significantly, from 33.9 mSv to 8.1 mSv.ConclusionsUrologists are exposed to non‐negligible amounts of radiation due to fluoroscopy. Appropriate management such as modified pulse fluoroscopy condition and precautions are required.
Intimate partner violence and the situation of women experiencing intimate partner violence during the COVID‐19 pandemic: A qualitative study of Japanese clinician views
Authors: Katou Hinako , Kataoka Yaeko 
Published: July 2022

AbstractAimIntimate partner violence (IPV) is a major global threat to women's health. Stay‐at‐home orders during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic were associated with an increase in IPV. The purpose of this study was to clarify IPV and the situation of women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic in Japan.MethodsA semi‐structured interview was conducted with five healthcare providers who gave support to women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic. All interviews were audio‐recorded, transcribed and analyzed in accordance with thematic analysis methodology.ResultsTwo categories concerning IPV and the situation of women experiencing IPV during the COVID‐19 pandemic emerged from analysis of interviews: (1) the possibility that IPV might change during the pandemic; and (2) barriers that prevent women getting support. “Possibility that IPV might change during the pandemic” consisted of three subcategories: “Male partner takes his stress out on her”; “Male partner forced her out of the home”; and “Conflict occurred more easily at home”. “Barriers that prevent women getting support” had four subcategories: “Difficulty in accessing outside support”; “Restricted access to get care due to financial difficulties”; “Lack of support from her family”; and “Women experience a loss of energy”.ConclusionsDuring the COVID‐19 pandemic, there were barriers to provide support for women despite increased IPV. Healthcare providers should support women using effective methods to protect women's health and safety.
School climate tolerant of sexual harassment is indirectly related to academic disengagement through peer sexual harassment and feeling safe in high school girls

AbstractAlthough illegal, sexual harassment is endemic in US schools, with students perceiving that school officials ignore complaints of harassment. Research findings have linked school climate tolerant of sexual harassment to peer sexual harassment (PSH) and school outcomes, yet there is a need to better understand these relationships. This cross‐sectional study examined whether there was an indirect effect of school climate tolerant of sexual harassment on disengagement from school, individually and serially, through experiences of PSH victimization and feeling safe at school in a sample of 171 predominantly Black and White girls (14–19 years old) attending high school in the wider Memphis, Tennessee area. The findings supported that a climate tolerant of sexual harassment was indirectly related to school disengagement through PSH and feeling less safe. These findings add to the literature by demonstrating that a climate tolerant of sexual harassment, PSH victimization, and perceptions about personal safety are associated with harm to students’ academic outcomes in the form of school and academic disengagement. Further, the current findings suggest that a national agenda for school safety needs to consider school climate tolerant of sexual harassment in order to be effective in responding to sexual harassment and supporting student engagement.

AimWe aimed to describe the long‐term outcome with respect to symptom persistence amongst children hospitalised for COVID‐19.MethodsThis was a follow‐up study of 58 children and adolescents hospitalised with COVID‐19. For all patients, the data were collected in a phone call to the family in December 2021 (9 months after the initial study and more than 13 months after their admission to hospital). We inquired about their current health status and obtained information, if the responding parent consented orally to participate and answer the questions.ResultsFifty‐one children and adolescents were studied. Only five patients (10%) had persistent symptoms compatible with long‐COVID; the reported symptoms include fatigue in four (8%), weakness in three (6%), exercise intolerance in two (4%) and shortness of breath in two (4%) patients. Four patients (7.8%), who did not have any symptoms of long‐COVID in phase 1 of the study, reported new‐onset symptoms or complaints that are potentially compatible with the diagnosis of long‐COVID (weakness, myalgia, excess sputum, cough, fatigue) in the current phase.ConclusionsSymptom persistence of long‐COVID is infrequent amongst children hospitalised for COVID‐19. Most of the symptoms of long‐COVID will resolve with the passage of time and the residual symptoms are often mild and tolerable. The scientific community should carefully and clearly define long‐COVID and its natural course in order to facilitate and harmonise future studies.

AbstractCollege food insecurity is a known detriment to student success, but little is known about the implementation of campus‐based programmes to help address this issue on campus in the United States. The objective of this research study was to determine the types of food insecurity initiatives implemented and assess how such programmes are managed, funded, and evaluated. A cross‐sectional, 23‐item online survey was administered among individuals involved with campus food insecurity initiatives identified through professional networks. Food pantries were the most common (97.1%) and mobile food sharing applications were the least common (14.7%) food security initiatives. A majority of respondents (69.7%) stated that at least one programme on their campus was evaluated, although the methods varied and uncertainty about the methods used was common. An allocated budget was provided at some institutions (38.9%), but funding mechanisms varied. Student Life Offices were most commonly reported as being responsible for programme management. Most respondents (75.3%) reported there had been programme changes due to COVID‐19. This research confirmed that food insecurity programmes are widely available, although the type, funding, and leadership of these programmes vary. A coordinated approach on campus to align programming efforts is needed.
Finding new friends and revisiting old ones – how plant lipid droplets connect with other subcellular structures
Authors: Scholz Patricia , Chapman Kent D. , Mullen Robert T. , Ischebeck Till 
Published: July 2022

SummaryThe number of described contact sites between different subcellular compartments and structures in eukaryotic cells has increased dramatically in recent years and, as such, has substantially reinforced the well‐known premise that these kinds of connections are essential for overall cellular organization and the proper functioning of cellular metabolic and signaling pathways. Here, we discuss contact sites involving plant lipid droplets (LDs), including LD‐endoplasmic reticulum (ER) connections that mediate the biogenesis of new LDs at the ER, LD‐peroxisome connections, that facilitate the degradation of LD‐stored triacylglycerols (TAGs), and the more recently discovered LD‐plasma membrane connections, which involve at least three novel proteins, but have a yet unknown physiological function(s).

AbstractBackgroundThe aim of this study was to assess the presence of anxiety, fear and psychological distress in the population of people over 65 years of age and to study possible differences with a sample of subjects aged between 60 and 65 years.MethodsA descriptive and psychometric cross‐sectional study. The total sample used consisted of 1112 subjects from university training programmes for the old people from all over Spain. Anxiety and fear of COVID‐19 were measured using the AMICO scale and psychological distress using the GHQ‐12 instrument.ResultsSignificant differences were found in the AMICO (p = 0.006) and GHQ‐12 (p = 0.03) measures between age subgroups, with lower values in older age groups. Contrast statistics showed significant differences on both measures (AMICO and GHQ) in women, single or widowed subjects, and those who had not been infected by the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus.LimitationsIt would be desirable to increase the sample size, especially in the lower age group (<65). The establishment of the age limit between the two groups could be located at 60 years of age. The use of new technologies to get information should be considered.ConclusionsOverall, moderate levels of fear and anxiety of COVID‐19 were present. Women tended to have higher levels of both general psychological distress and fear and anxiety of COVID‐19. Especially in those over 65, higher levels of distress and fear/anxiety of COVID‐19 were associated with being widowed or single, and not having been infected before with SARS‐CoV‐2.
Impaired microbial N‐acyl homoserine lactone signalling increases plant resistance to aphids across variable abiotic and biotic environments

Published: July 2022

AbstractBeneficial bacteria interact with plants using signalling molecules, such as N‐acyl homoserine‐lactones (AHLs). Although there is evidence that these molecules affect plant responses to pathogens, few studies have examined their effect on plant‐insect and microbiome interactions, especially under variable soil conditions. We investigated the effect of the AHL‐producing rhizobacterium Acidovorax radicis and its AHL‐negative mutant (does not produce AHLs) on modulating barley (Hordeum vulgare) plant interactions with cereal aphids (Sitobion avenae) and earthworms (Dendrobaena veneta) across variable nutrient soils. Acidovorax radicis inoculation increased plant growth and suppressed aphids, with stronger effects by the AHL‐negative mutant. However, effects varied between barley cultivars and the presence of earthworms altered interaction outcomes. Bacteria‐induced plant defences differed between cultivars, and aphid exposure, with pathogenesis‐related and WRKY pathways partly explaining the ecological effects in the more resistant cultivars. Additionally, we observed few but specific indirect effects via the wider root microbiome where the AHL‐mutant strain influenced rare OTU abundances. We conclude that bacterial AHL‐signalling disruption affects plant‐microbial interactions by inducing different plant pathways, leading to increased insect resistance, also mediated by the surrounding biotic and abiotic environment. Understanding the mechanisms by which beneficial bacteria can reduce insect pests is a key research area for developing effective insect pest management strategies in sustainable agriculture.

Dynamic Analysis and Design of Metamaterial Plates With Crossed Acoustic Black Holes for Vibration Control
Authors: He Meng-Xin , Ding Qian 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Acoustic black holes (ABHs) have shown great potential in vibration and noise control. Merging the ABH effect and the metamaterial can be a more efficient approach for vibration control. The aim of this article is to study the dynamics of a metamaterial plate with crossed acoustic black holes. The band gap properties of the infinite structure and the influence of the design variables are investigated by using the finite element method and the Floquet–Bloch theorem. The vibration transmission and frequency response functions of the finite structure are presented to reveal the vibration attenuation mechanism. The effect of elastic boundary conditions on the vibration properties of the metamaterial plate is also studied. Numerical results demonstrate that the vibration is remarkably weakened due to the band gap and local modes induced by the ABH effect. Then, experimental validation is given by using 3D printing techniques. Finally, we study the multi-objective optimal design problem of the ABH plate to reduce the vibration amplitude and the structural mass simultaneously. Optimization results provide more options for the trade-off design of metamaterial plates between the lightweight design and vibration suppression capability.

Published: July 2022

High school athletics represents a major segment of the sport industry and is regarded as an important component in youth development in the United States. With the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, challenges emerged that forced athletic directors to provide essential information to key stakeholders, keep people safe, and identify new ways to bring events to fans. To further understand these experiences, this commentary aimed to evaluate the use of communication and technology by high school athletic directors to address challenges, develop new strategies, adapt to day-to-day changes, and manage the long-term impacts of COVID-19 on interscholastic athletics. Through in-depth interviews with athletic directors, responses demonstrated how enhanced communication with key stakeholders (i.e., athletic programs and fellow athletic directors) and a reliance on technologies (i.e., digital ticketing and online live streaming) helped these leaders successfully navigate the pandemic and develop new strategies that will persist into the future.

AimsTo investigate the effect of subfoveal fluid height (SFFH) on visual outcome after macula-off retinal detachment (RD) repair.MethodsProspective interventional case series of consecutive patients undergoing pars plana vitrectomy with gas tamponade (PPV) for primary macula-off RD with duration of symptomatic loss of central vision (LCV) of ≤1 week. Preoperative SFFH was measured on two occasions an hour apart using optical coherence tomography (OCT) by two independent observers. Postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured at 3 months.ResultsSixty-one patients were included. All patients were pseudophakic after RD repair. The mean preoperative and postoperative BCVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) at 3 months was 1.41 (±0.71) and 0.15 (±0.12, range 0.00–0.70). Twenty-six patients with SFFH of ≤1500 µm were available for repeat OCT measurements. The variation in SFFH was proportional to the SFFH and showed a logarithmic (base 2) association (r=0.50, p=0.01). Patients were therefore grouped according to their SFFH as group 1: 1–100 µm, group 2: 101–300 µm, group 3: 301–700 µm, group 4: 701–1500 µm and group 5: 1501–3100 µm. BCVA at 3 months significantly reduced with increasing SFFH from 0.04 (±0.03) in group 1 to 0.28 (±0.15) in group 5 (p<0.001) but was not associated with age (p=0.77), preoperative BCVA (p=0.39), duration of LCV (p=0.63) or use of perfluorocarbon liquids (p=0.88). Forty-five patients had SFFH ≤1500 µm and achieved 0.10 (±0.07, range 0.00–0.30) logMAR.ConclusionVisual acuity following PPV for macula-off RD is related to preoperative SFFH regardless of the duration of symptomatic LCV within the first week.
