Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
The dimensional approach to personality pathology opens up the possibility to investigate adolescence as a significant period for the development of personality pathology. Recent evidence suggests that symptoms of personality pathology may change during adolescence, but the negative consequences such as impaired social functioning persist later on in life. Thus, we think that problems in social functioning may further predict personality impairments. The current study aimed at investigating the role of relationship quality with parents and peers for the prediction of the level of personality functioning across adolescence. We hypothesized that 1) relationship quality with both parents and peers will significantly account for the level of personality functioning in adolescence and 2) the importance of relationship quality with peers for the relation to impairments in personality functioning will increase with age.

Methods
A community sample consisting of 855 adolescents aged 11–18 (M = 14.44, SD = 1.60; 62.5% female) from different regions in Lithuania participated in this study. Self-report questionnaires included the Levels of Personality Functioning Questionnaire to investigate personality impairments and the Network of Relationships Questionnaire to assess the quality of dyadic relationships.

Results
Discord in the parent, but not peer relationships, was related to a more severe level of personality functioning across adolescence. Lower levels of closeness with parents accounted for higher impairments in personality functioning. The importance of closeness with peers for the explanation of the level of personality functioning increased with age.

Conclusions
During the sensitive period for the development of a personality disorder, relationship quality with the closest adults and peers both remain important for the explanation of impairments in personality functioning.
160 Years of aggregate supply and demand in Switzerland
Authors: Stuart Rebecca 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis paper studies the causes of movements in inflation and output in Switzerland over 160 years between 1855 and 2015. Aggregate supply and demand shocks are identified in a structural VAR, and their evolution and effect on prices and output are discussed. Shocks to the Swiss economy have generally, although not uniformly, declined in magnitude over the sample period. The World Wars, the deflation of the 1920s and the Great Depression represented much larger shocks than either of 1970s break-up of Bretton Woods and move to floating exchange rates or the Global Financial Crisis.

Abstract
Background
Migraine is a public health concern, and university students have been found to be particularly susceptible to stress and other factors that trigger migraines. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, awareness, and impact of migraine on University of Sharjah students.
A cross-sectional study was conducted using a self-administered questionnaire. The diagnosis of migraine was made according to the International Headache Society (IHS) criteria and the impact on life was calculated through the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) score.

Results
The overall migraine prevalence was 26.35% with 25.3% of migraineurs were unaware of having migraine. The most common reported symptoms during a migraine headache attack were one side headache (82.7%) and pulsating headache (66%). Sleep deprivation (74.7%), stress (58%), and hunger or skipping meals (57.3%), were the most common triggering factors. Almost 60% of the migraineurs had a disability ranging from moderate to severe and hospital admission was needed by 30%.

Conclusions
The prevalence of migraine was high among university students, wherein some students might be unaware of having migraines. Migraine has a deleterious impact on students’ productivity and wellbeing. Well-designed interventions such as screening programs might be needed to help in proper diagnosis and management of migraine attacks as well as special educational programs to raise awareness about migraine.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Rehabilitation programs targeted to patients with substance use disorder (SUD) following successful detoxification constitute a global public health concern. This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of a combined pharmacotherapy/cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) model through assessing abstinence/relapse rate and quality of life (QOL) in a sample of patients with SUD. Indeed, we aimed to identify the relapse predictors.

Results
The relapse rate in the inpatient group was 45.33%, compared to 56% in the outpatient group. Multivariate analysis revealed that patients with educational levels less than secondary school, rural residency, being single or divorced, having cravings lasting for 6 weeks from detoxification, legal history, presence of borderline, antisocial and multiple personality disorder could predict relapse in patients with SUD. Moreover, there was a statistically significant difference between the legal, substance, and social domains of ASI (X2= 12.525, p=0.014; X2= 12.525, p=0.023; and X2= 6.335, p=0.042 respectively) and the majority of QOL domains and relapse.

Conclusions
Socio-demographic data, legal history, craving, and presence of co-morbid personality disorders along with, legal, substance, and social domains of ASI might be implicated in relapse, suggesting that addiction rehabilitation programs targeting these topics would reduce the risk of relapse.

Published: October 2022

Abstract
Background
Hepatitis A is the most common form of acute viral hepatitis in developing countries. In children < 6 years of age, most infections are asymptomatic, and if illness does occur, it is usually anicteric. This study aimed to determine the frequency of HAV in Egyptian children under 5 years presenting with gastroenteritis-like manifestations and to associate the frequency of HAV with social, demographic, and various risk factors.

Results
Among 450 children aged from 6 months to 5 years of both sexes, presenting with gastroenteritis-like manifestations and anicteric hepatitis, 200/450 children had elevated transaminases (ALT, AST) and were recruited in the study. A total number of 24 (12%) out of 200 children were found to have HAV IgM antibodies. Lower maternal and paternal education, poor sanitary and hygienic conditions, crowding, contaminated water, and lack of sanitary facilities were significantly higher in HAV-positive group (p-value < 0.05). ALT and AST were significantly higher in HAV IgM-positive group (p-value < 0.01).

Conclusion
HAV infection is common in Egyptian children with gastroenteritis-like manifestations and anicteric hepatitis. Hepatitis A is a vaccine-preventable disease.

Published: October 2022

Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the imaging modality on the evaluation of the outcome of modern surgical endodontic treatments, based on a systematic review of the literature. Methods: Strict inclusion criteria were adopted in order to identify studies that assessed the outcome of surgical endodontic treatments. Treatment success rates were pooled. The effect of the imaging modality used for the outcome assessment, and the methodological quality of the studies (based on the risk of bias (ROB)), were evaluated. Results: Nineteen articles were included. The success rates assessed by periapical (PA) radiography were significantly higher than when cases were evaluated by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT; 90 and 35% respectively). This difference was mainly due to a significant proportion of cases that were assessed by CBCT as uncertain healing (48%) compared to only 4% using PA. The success rates ranged between 86 and 92% in low ROB studies, and between 19–100% in high ROB studies. Conclusions: Outcome assessment based on CBCT may lead to significantly lower estimates of rate of success, and higher rates of uncertain healing, thus presenting a dilemma in the decision-making following surgical endodontic treatment. The success rates of studies with lower methodological quality are more variable than for high quality studies.

Published: October 2022

Abstract Proxy-SU(3) symmetry is an approximation scheme extending the Elliott SU(3) algebra of the sd shell to heavier shells, in order to make possible the application of the symmetry properties in cutting down the size of the required calculations. When introduced in 2017, the approximation had been justified by calculations carried out within the Nilsson model, an elementary shell model based on a 3-dimensional harmonic oscillator with cylindrical symmetry, applicable to deformed nuclei. Recently our group managed to map the cartesian basis of the Elliott SU(3) model onto the spherical shell model basis, fully clarifying the approximations used within the proxy-SU(3) scheme and paving the way for using the proxy-SU(3) approximation in shell model calculations for heavy nuclei. As a by-product, the relation of the 0[110] Nilsson pairs used in proxy-SU(3) to the earlier used de Shalit-Goldhaber pairs and Federman-Pittel pairs has been clarified. The connection between the proxy-SU(3) scheme and the spherical shell model has also been worked out in the original framework of the Nilsson model, with identical results.
Dose rate assessment of 137Cs to mussels and pelagic fish from the combined use of field measurements, satellite data and the ERICA Assessment Tool
Authors: Mavrokefalou Georgia , Sotiropoulou Maria 
Published: October 2022

Cesium-137 (137Cs) is the most important indicator of radioactive pollution in the marine environment due to its half-life (Tph: 30.2 years), its high fission yield, its solubility (70% in ionic form) and its bioavailability (similar to potassium). Soluble radionuclides, like 137Cs, in the seawater are associated with physicogeochemical and biological parameters of the marine environment (e.g. temperature, water density, biota exchange processes, water mass translocation etc.). Considering this characteristic, we investigate the potential relation between 137Cs activity concentration and sea surface temperature (SST). The parameter of SST is selected, as the element of cesium in the seawater is conservative and its horizontal and vertical dispersion depends on the water mass translocation and water currents. Water mass translocation and water currents are processes that are both governed by the SST. SST also influences the uptake of 137Cs in some marine organisms as it makes it more bioavailable and affects the biological retention time and the elimination rate. The study area is the Gulf of Corinth (Greece). Cs-137 in the Gulf of Corinth originates from water runnoff from the land (Chernobyl fallout from 1986) and a small influence exists from the Ionian and Aegean Sea water currents. A total of 17 measurements spanning 2004-2005, of 137Cs activity concentrations were retrieved from the Environmental Radioactivity Laboratory (ERL) database of NCSR “D”. Furthermore, SST measurements issued from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS). Databases of 137Cs activity concentrations and SST are used for regression analysis and definition of a linear model. The estimated 137Cs activity concentrations obtained by the model are then compared with the newest measured values obtained by seawater samples from September and November 2018 (a total of 8 seawater samples). Estimated concentrations present a relative difference of about 9% to the measured values. In order to conduct the risk assessment analysis in the studied area, the dose rates are calculated for marine organisms. The selected marine organisms are mussels and pelagic fish that are abundant in the area and have significant commercial value, with mussels also being an important bioindicator of marine pollution. The total dose rates in these organisms (resulting by both the internal and external exposure) vary from 3.30 × 101 to 5.40 × 101 μGy/year for the mussels and from 2.97 × 10-1 to 4.86 × 10-1 μGy/year for pelagic fish, which are much lower that the intervention levels, indicating low impact due to the 137Cs exposure.

Published: October 2022

Background: Variation in mosquito body size and the ability to penetrate long-lasting insecticide-treated nets (LLINs) remains unknown. This study evaluated the ability of Anopheles funestus and A. arabiensis to penetrate commercially available treated and untreated bednets and how this behaviour affects mosquito mortality. Methods: Three types of LLINs; DawaPlus 2.0, PermaNet 2.0, Olyset 2.0, and untreated (Safi Net) were tested inside a semi-field system. One hundred 3–5-day-old female A. funestus and A. arabiensis were released in a chamber with a sleeping adult volunteer under a treated or untreated bednet. Mosquitoes that penetrated inside the nets were collected every two hours using a mouth aspirator. Live mosquitoes were put in paper cups, fed on glucose ad libitum and their mortality rate was monitored for 48 h. Results: The ability of A. funestus to penetrate treated and untreated bednets was significantly higher than for A. arabiensis for all three LLIN net types (P<0.001). For both species the penetration rate was higher for untreated bednets than treated ones except for the Olyset net. Of all mosquitoes that penetrated the net, regardless of the species, >90% successfully blood-fed on the sleeping volunteer. Compared to A. arabiensis, significant mortality was recorded for A. funestus that were caught inside Olyset nets within 48 hrs of monitoring (P<0.001). Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the ability of A. funestus and A. arabiensis mosquitoes to penetrate the human-occupied treated and untreated bednets. Despite this ability, mosquitoes that penetrated the bednet succumbed to death within two days.
Statistical methods as a tool to identify bid-rigging: the case of local authorities
Authors: Ziarko Łukasz 
Published: October 2022

Motivation: Disclosure of bid-rigging is not a trivial process. The main difficulty lies in the secrecy of such an agreement. Also, the signals of collusion can be ambiguous. It, therefore, appears that only a tiny percentage of such collusive agreements are disclosed. Of the disclosed conspiracies, a significant proportion was identified due to information from contracting authorities. We have a catalogue of indicators for collusion, and statistical methods are particularly effective. What is the role of statistical methods in revealing bid-rigging? What determines their use in practice? In order to answer these questions, a questionnaire study was carried out. The survey covered local government units — the dominating group of contracting authorities.
Aim: The research aimed to identify the factors characterising local government units that foster statistical methods as a standard bid evaluation tool.
Results: The survey results indicate that using a statistical method as standard practice in the process of bids evaluation is related to the level of staff’s professional expertise, the size of the procurement team and the size of the local authority. Concerning the risk of collusive bidding, respondents recognise it but believe that it does not significantly impact the achievement of procurement policy objectives. Despite a sense of responsibility for combating bid-rigging, respondents are reluctant to use statistical methods on a daily basis.
Temporomandibular disorders. Part 6: related irreversible restorative interventions
Authors: James Martin , Crawford Charles , Clarke Peter , Oluwajana Funmi , Foster-Thomas Emma , Satterthwaite Julian 
Published: October 2022

Considering the complex biopsychosocial nature of temporomandibular disorders (TMD), irreversible interventions of any kind should be used with extreme caution. Frequently they are reserved for those patients who have not achieved adequate control with reversible measures and in whom a significant improvement is anticipated. Irreversible restorative interventions range from the simple adjustment of a single restoration or tooth up to an occlusal equilibration, and may use a subtractive, additive or combined approach. This article, the last in a series of six, reviews the available evidence in the use of irreversible restorative interventions in the management of TMD, demonstrates some of the commonly used techniques and provides some guidance for the general dental practitioner (GDP) considering this approach. CPD/Clinical Relevance: The GDP needs to be aware of when to, and more importantly when not to, consider making irreversible changes to a patient's dentition with the aim of managing their TMD.

Management of patients on systemic steroids: An oral surgery perspective
Authors: Patel Vikash , Nathwani Shrina , Rahman Naomi 
Published: October 2022

Corticosteroids are a common pharmacological treatment option used in a diverse range of clinical conditions. The diversity of guidance on their use has inevitably led to conflicting management plans between dental clinicians. For patients on long-term steroid cover, several guidelines highlight the importance of additional steroid prescribing during ‘stressful’ procedures. However, guidance on the definition of ‘stressful’ varies, as well as the recommended protocols. This article explores the existing evidence regarding steroid cover in patients taking long-term steroids, and proposes a protocol to help manage these patients in the dental environment. CPD/Clinical Relevance: An understanding of the clinical implications of long-term steroid use in patients requiring dental treatment, as well as the appropriate management protocols is important.
Identifying accurate pro‐choice and pro‐life identity labels in Spanish: Social media insights and implications for comparative survey research

Published: October 2022

AbstractIntroductionAlthough debate remains about the saliency and relevance of pro‐choice and pro‐life labels (as abortion belief indicators), they have been consistently used for decades to broadly designate abortion identity. However, clear labels are less apparent in other languages (e.g., Spanish). Social media, as an exploratory data science tool, can be leveraged to identify the presence and popularity of online abortion identity labels and how they are contextualized online.PurposeThis study aims to determine how popularly used Spanish‐language pro‐choice and pro‐life identity labels are contextualized online.MethodWe used Latent Dirichlet Allocation (LDA) topic models, an unsupervised natural language processing (NLP) application, to generate themes about Spanish language tweets categorized by Spanish abortion identity labels: (1) proelección (pro‐choice); (2) derecho a decidir (right to choose); (3) proaborto (pro‐abortion); (4) provida (pro‐life); (5) antiaborto (anti‐abortion); and (6) derecho a vivir (right to life). We manually reviewed themes for each identity label to assess scope.ResultsAll six identity labels included in our analysis contained some references to abortion. However, several labels were not exclusive to abortion. Proelección (pro‐choice), for example, contained several themes related to ongoing presidential elections.Discussion and ConclusionNo singular Spanish abortion identity label encapsulates abortion beliefs; however, there are several viable options. Just as the debate remains ongoing about pro‐choice and pro‐life as accurate indicators of abortion beliefs in English, we must also consider that identity is more complex than binary labels in Spanish.
Sensitivity investigation of cascaded abruptly tapered fiber based on the Vernier effect

Published: October 2022

In this paper, we propose and
experimentally demonstrate a sensitivity-enhanced temperature sensor
by cascading two non-adiabatic tapered fibers (NATFs) based on the
Vernier effect. In addition, we investigate the influence of the
presence of the reference arm on the cascaded NATFs and compare the
temperature response. The
experimental results show that a cascaded NATF configuration in which
one NATF acts as a sensing arm and the other acts as a reference arm,
achieves a temperature sensitivity of

), while a cascaded NATF configuration
in which both NATFs act as a sensing arm attains a temperature
sensitivity of 440 pm/°C, which is lower than the configuration
with a reference arm. It is confirmed that the synchronous change of
the two interferometers will reduce the sensing sensitivity of Vernier
effect-based sensors by theory and experiments, and provides guidance
for the design of Vernier effect-based sensors.

and 7%, respectively. We obtain stable conventional soliton and stretched soliton mode-locking operation. For the conventional soliton state, the average output power increased from 0.93 to 8.70 mW with the increase of pump power, and the fundamental repetition rate was 7.8351 MHz. Its central wavelength and 3 dB bandwidth were 1564.72 and 4.78 nm, respectively. For the stretched soliton state, when the pump power was increased from 87.4 to 420.3 mW, the average output power increased from 2.05 to 10.46 mW. When the maximum average output power reached 10.46 mW, the maximum average single-pulse energy was 0.86 nJ. The experimental results show that GeTe nanosheets will have broad application potential in the field of ultrafast photonics.
