Published: March 2022

AbstractObjectiveResearch on the associations between cognitive and noncognitive personality traits has widely neglected character strengths, that means positively and morally valued personality traits that constitute good character.MethodThe present study aimed to bridge this gap by studying the associations between character strengths and fluid intelligence using different operationalizations of character strengths (including self‐ and informant‐reports) and fluid intelligence in children, adolescents, and adults.ResultsThe results, based on four samples (N= 193/290/330/324), suggested that morally valued personality traits are independent of fluid intelligence, with the exception of love of learning, which showed small but robust positive relationships with fluid intelligence across all samples.ConclusionsNonetheless, we argue for further research on the associations with other cognitive abilities and interactions between character strengths and intelligence when examining their relationships with external criteria.

AbstractBackground and Study AimThe traditional endoscopic therapy of anastomotic strictures (AS) after orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) is multiple ERCPs with the insertion of an increasing number of plastic stents side‐by‐side. Fully covered self‐expanding metal stents (cSEMS) could be a valuable option to decrease the number of procedures needed or non‐responders to plastic stents. This study aims to retrospectively analyse the results of AS endoscopic treatment by cSEMS and to identify any factors associated with its success.Patients and MethodsNinety‐one patients (mean age 55.9 ± 7.6 SD; 73 males) from nine Italian transplantation centres, had a cSEMS positioned for post‐OLT‐AS between 2007 and 2017. Forty‐nine (54%) patients were treated with cSEMS as a second‐line treatment.ResultsAll the procedures were successfully performed without immediate complications. After ERCP, adverse events occurred in 11% of cases (2 moderate pancreatitis and 8 cholangitis). In 49 patients (54%), cSEMSs migrated. After cSEMS removal, 46 patients (51%) needed further endoscopic (45 patients) or radiological (1 patient) treatments to solve the AS. Lastly, seven patients underwent surgery. Multivariable stepwise logistic regression showed that cSEMS migration was the only factor associated with further treatments (OR 2.6, 95% CI 1.0–6.6; p value 0.03); cSEMS implantation before 12 months from OLT was associated with stent migration (OR 5.2, 95% CI 1.7–16.0; p value 0.004).ConclusionscSEMS appears to be a safe tool to treat AS. cSEMS migration is the main limitation to its routinary implantation and needs to be prevented, probably with the use of new generation anti‐migration stents.

AbstractAstroblastomas are neuroepithelial tumours defined by the presence of MN1 rearrangement and are typically located in the cerebral hemispheres. Rare cases of astroblastoma‐like tumours carrying an EWSR1‐BEND2 fusion have been recently described in the brain stem and spinal cord. We report a paediatric case of neuroepithelial astroblastoma‐like tumour occurring in the spine and carrying a novel MAMLD1‐BEND2 fusion. We believe that our case aligns with the rare astroblastoma‐like tumours with EWSR1‐BEND2 fusion, in terms of non‐hemispheric location, pathology, methylation profile and activation of BEND2 transcription. Whether they may represent a distinct entity or a variant of MN1‐altered astroblastoma is not clear.
The influence of unhealthy food and beverage marketing through social media and advergaming on diet‐related outcomes in children—A systematic review

Published: March 2022

SummaryChildren are increasingly exposed to food and beverage marketing, but little is known about the specific effects of marketing through media most used by children. This study aims to systematically review the influence of unhealthy food and beverage marketing through social media and advergaming on diet‐related outcomes in children. Seven databases were systematically searched for English peer‐reviewed quantitative and qualitative scientific studies on the effects of marketing of unhealthy products through social media or advergaming on a range of diet‐related outcomes in children. Risk of bias was assessed with tools specific for the different study designs. Twenty‐six studies were included, of which 20 examined the effect of food and beverage marketing through advergaming and six through social media. Most studies had a high risk of bias. The results suggested that unhealthy food and beverage marketing through social media and advergaming has a significant effect on pester behaviors, food choice, and food intake of children. The studies demonstrate that unhealthy food and beverage marketing through media popular with children significantly impacts different diet‐related outcomes. Combined with existing evidence on this effect in other settings, this review provides clear evidence of the need for policies targeting screen‐based marketing.

AbstractObjectivesThis systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of using maxillary protraction during different stages of the dentition by assessing changes in the jaws and inclination of incisors.Materials and methodsMEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane, Web Of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang Databases were searched without time limitations up to 15 January 2022. Google Scholar was used to search grey literature. We included cohort studies that compared the effect of maxillary protraction by analysing primary outcomes and were grouped in age‐related conditions. Mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were used for statistical analysis, followed by Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation analysis.ResultsSix studies were finally included. The heterogeneity test showed P ≥ .1 and I2 ≤ 50%, and a fixed‐effect model was applied. Patients in the early treatment group (ETG) were mainly in the early‐mixed dentition stage, while patients in the late treatment group (LTG) were in the late‐mixed and early‐permanent dentition stage. Meta‐analysis showed that there were no statistical differences (P > .05) between the ETG and LTG groups in terms of SNA (the angle composed by point Sella‐Nasion‐Subspinale), SNB (the angle composed by point Sella‐Nasion‐Supramentale), ANB (the angle composed by point Subspinale‐Nasion‐Supramentale), Wits, U1/SN (the angle composed by the axis of upper incisors and Sella‐Nasion plane) and L1/MP (the angle composed by the axis of lower incisors and the mandibular plane).ConclusionOur analysis showed that maxillary protraction applied in the late‐mixed or early‐permanent dentition stage did not cause different effects on the maxillary growth, the correction of the intermaxillary relationship, the inhibition of mandibular growth and dental tipping of skeletal class III patients when compared to that in the early‐mixed dentition stage. Collectively, these data provide a theoretical basis for widening the applicable age period of maxillary protraction and choosing the best treatment opportunity for children patients after a comprehensive assessment.

ABSTRACT

Ethylene response factors (ERFs) comprise one of the largest transcription factor families in many plant species. Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) ERF3 (NtERF3) and other ERF‐associated amphiphilic repression (EAR) motif‐containing ERFs are known to function as transcriptional repressors. NtERF3 and several repressor‐type ERFs induce cell death in tobacco leaves and are also associated with a defence response against tobacco mosaic virus (TMV).

We investigated whether transcriptional activator‐type NtERFs function together with NtERF3 in the defence response against TMV infection by performing transient ectopic expression, together with gene expression, chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and promoter analyses.

Transient overexpression of NtERF2 and NtERF4 induced cell death in tobacco leaves, albeit later than that induced by NtERF3. Fusion of the EAR motif to the C‐terminal end of NtERF2 and NtERF4 abolished their cell death‐inducing ability. The expression of NtERF2 and NtERF4 was upregulated at the early phase of N gene‐triggered hypersensitive response (HR) against TMV infection. The cell death phenotype induced by overexpression of wild‐type NtERF2 and NtERF4 was suppressed by co‐expression of an EAR motif‐deficient form of NtERF3. Furthermore, ChIP and promoter analyses suggested that NtERF2, NtERF3 and NtERF4 positively or negatively regulate the expression of NtERF3 by binding to its promoter region.

Overall, our results revealed the cell death‐inducing abilities of genes encoding activator‐type NtERFs, including NtERF2 and NtERF4, suggesting that the HR‐cell death signalling via the repressor‐type NtERF3 is competitively but coordinately regulated by these NtERFs.
Autoethnography and ‘chimeric‐thinking’: A phenomenological reconsideration of illness and alterity
Authors: Pini Sarah 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper tackles the concept of alterity through an embodied perspective. By questioning my lived experience of cancer and how illness—as a disruptive event (Carel, 2008, 2016, 2021)—enables philosophical reflection and the exploration of ‘other’ ways of being‐in‐the‐world (Merleau‐Ponty 2012 [1945]), I ask if an embodied ‘chimeric‐thinking’ can be used to question established notions of alterity and reshape our relationship with ‘otherness’ (Leistle 2015, 2016b). Building on a phenomenological approach to illness (Carel 2012, 2014, 2016, 2021), and a feminist post‐humanist approach (Haraway 1990, 1991, 2016), I present a case in which an autoethnographic and phenomenological approach focused on embodied experience may help revise dominant perspectives, providing access to understanding and engaging with profound biopsychosocial and somatic transformations.
Urban households' willingness to pay for improvements in rainwater harvesting and rainwater infiltration system: Case study in Japan
Authors: Tsai Peii , Onishi Akio 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThere is an urgent need to develop an urban rainwater drainage system in cities that have been facing flooding due to heavy rainfall events. In Japan, many municipalities have provided financial support for installing household‐level rainwater infiltration and harvesting facilities. However, the use of domestic installations is still limited. This study used the contingent valuation method (CVM) to investigate household preferences for rainwater tanks and a rainwater infiltration inlet (RII) in Yokohama, Japan, and examine the factors influencing the respondents' willingness to pay (WTP). We found that public perceptions of these systems have remained low. The mean WTP was US$265 and US$274 per unit for RII and a rainwater tank, respectively. When compared with the actual market price, the WTP results indicate that respondents had a high interest in these systems. Moreover, income, the experience of flooding and environmentally conscious behaviour were the main affecting factors.
Optimized one‐pot synthesis of CdSe quantum dot capped with 3‐mercaptopropionic acid as an efficient fluorescent probe for selective detection of Hg (II)
Authors: Das Sohel , Paul Subhankar 
Published: March 2022

AbstractHere, we demonstrated the use of 3‐mercaptopropionic acid‐capped CdSe quantum dots (CdSe QDs) for the sensing of mercury ions (Hg2+) in solution. The size and the shape of the synthesized QD were observed through transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and crystallinity was confirmed through X‐ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The synthesized QD showed to have mean size 4 nm. Our QD was found to sense Hg2+ ions with a detection limit of 5 ppm at pH 7.0 and a linearity range of 5–50 ppm. The effect of pH on the optical property of QD was also investigated and found that the sensor worked best at pH 7.0 with high linearity and sensitivity, thus reducing the cost of the process. The sensing mechanism of CdSe QD was further analysed through Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Therefore, our synthesized CdSe QD capped with 3‐mercaptopropionic acid demonstrated to act as an efficient nanomaterial for rapid and easy to perform sensing of mercury ion in aquatic environment.

Published: March 2022

O artigo trata da necessidade de alteração dos mecanismos institucionais dos tribunais para implantação do sistema de precedentes judiciais vinculantes instituído pelo Código de Processo Civil de 2015 visando à efetiva criação e cumprimento de precedentes. Para tanto, foi analisado o Regimento Interno do Superior Tribunal de Justiça para averiguar sua compatibilidade com a formação de precedentes hábeis à aplicação em casos similares futuros. Foi objeto de pesquisa a composição e organização dos órgãos fracionários, bem como o papel dos ministros nos órgãos colegiados do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, pois tais fatores são imprescindíveis para o resultado final das votações que levam à formação de precedentes. O objetivo do artigo é analisar as adequações regimentais referentes aos órgãos colegiados do Superior Tribunal de Justiça, implementadas em razão da vigência do Código de Processo Civil de 2015, demonstrando se estão aptas à criação de precedenteseficazes, bem como se propiciam precedentes que representem o entendimento institucional sobre o tema. O método adotado foi o hipotético-dedutivo, mediante análise crítica da necessidade de aprimoramento das adequações regimentais referentes aos órgãos colegiados do Superior Tribunal de Justiça. Como resultado, verificou-se que o Regimento Interno do Superior Tribunal de Justiça avançou na adequação regimental para melhor deliberação de seus órgãos colegiados para a busca de precedentes eficazes, concluindo-se, contudo, que ainda há necessidade de mudanças regimentais no tribunal para possibilitar melhor deliberação e despersonalização do processo decisório.
Numerical Investigation of Turbulence Production Under Two-Phase Flow in a Simulation of Electrical Submersible Pump Performance

Published: March 2022

Abstract
Investigating the characteristics of gas–liquid two-phase flow in a centrifugal pump is critical for evaluating pump performance. In this study, a numerical simulation was performed to understand the effects of gas–liquid turbulence formation in the impeller channels on the performance of a single-stage centrifugal pump. The focus was on the inlet gas volume fraction (IGVF) at constant flowrate and constant impeller speed on the flow structure in the impeller and the pressure surging characteristics. The correlation between Reynolds shear stress and turbulent kinetic energy on pump performance is shown by examining pressure, velocity, turbulent kinetic energy, and gas volume fraction (GVF). The model verification is verified using the theoretical pump pressure head determined by the manufacturer, which demonstrated adequate uncertainty (μ&lt;5%) for a flowrate of 250 L/min. The results show a 9.41% decrease in wall shear stresses when the in-situ GVF varies between 1% and 10%. Wall shear stresses combined with circulation resulted in a 3.76% decrease in turbulent kinetic energy, while the contribution of turbulence to pump performance degradation is minimal. Other factors such as gas entrapment, impeller inlet blockage due to bubble coalescence, pressure gradient, and bubble size had a much greater impact on performance. The performance decreased dramatically by 26.53% when the GVF increased from 1% to 10%. The proposed flow structure can be further investigated together with the wall shear stress and circulation phenomena, such as vorticity and shear layers in the context of two-phase flow.

Published: March 2022

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the discriminative properties (discriminative effect, sensitivity, specificity, and cutoff values) of four commonly used balance measures for nonfallers, fallers, and multiple fallers among Turkish community-dwelling older adults. Methods: Three hundred fifty-one community-dwelling older adults (122 fallers and 229 nonfallers) were evaluated with the timed up and go test, functional reach test, one-leg stance test, and Berg Balance Scale (BBS). Results: Timed up and go test and functional reach test were not sensitive in detecting group differences between fallers and nonfallers, and BBS and one-leg stance test had significant but limited discriminative power with cutoff values of 53.5 points and 7.50 s, respectively. In addition, timed up and go test, functional reach test, and one-leg stance test had significant but limited discriminative power, and BBS had acceptable discriminative power for older adults who fell multiple times. Conclusions: These findings suggest that BBS is the most suitable tool for assessing the fall risk of Turkish community-dwelling older adults.

ObjectiveThis systematic review examines the qualitative literature on women’s experiences of self-managing chronic conditions in pregnancy.DesignSystematic review of qualitative literature. Searches were performed in PubMed and CINAHL from inception to February 2021. Critical interpretive synthesis informed the coding framework and the analysis of the data. The Burden of Treatment theory emerged during the initial analysis as having the most synergy with the included literature, themes were refined to consider key concepts from this theory.ParticipantsPregnant women who are self-managing a chronic condition.ResultsA total of 2695 articles were screened and 25 were reviewed in detail. All 16 included studies concerned diabetes self-management in pregnancy. Common themes coalesced around motivations for, and barriers to, self-management. Women self-managed primarily for the health of their baby. Barriers identified were anxiety, lack of understanding and a lack of support from families and healthcare professionals.ConclusionsPregnant women have different motivating factors for self-management than the general population and further research on a range of self-management of chronic conditions in pregnancy is needed.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019136681.

ObjectivesReporting of research for stroke-related visual impairment is inconsistent. The aim of this study was to define three core outcome sets (COS) and related core outcome measurements (COM) for central visual impairment, visual field loss and ocular motility disorders in stroke research.DesignThe consensus process consisted of an online three-round Delphi survey followed by a consensus meeting of key stakeholders.SettingUK-wide survey.ParticipantsStakeholders included orthoptists, occupational therapists, ophthalmologists, stroke survivors and COS users such as researchers, journal editors and guideline developers.Outcome measuresFor COS development, a list of potentially relevant visual outcomes was created after review of the literature and further grouped into outcome domains. For COM development, a list of potential instruments was created after review of the literature and quality appraised for reliability and validity.ResultsCOS—119 potential outcomes extracted from published literature. Similar assessment outcomes were grouped into 24 outcome domains. Delphi process included 123 participants in round 1, 65 round 2, 51 round 3. Twelve participants attended the consensus meeting with recommended outcome domains for central visual impairment (visual acuity, functional vision, quality of life), visual field loss (visual fields, functional vision, quality of life) and ocular motility disorders (eye alignment, eye movements, functional vision, quality of life). COM—52 test options extracted from the COS outcomes and grouped into 16 domains. Thirteen participants attended the COM consensus meeting. Recommended instruments for measurement of these outcomes include; Logarithm of the Minimal Angle of Resolution visual acuity, cover test, cardinal position eye movement assessments, peripheral visual field perimetry, Visual Function Questionnaire-25.ConclusionsCOS and COM are defined for vision research for stroke survivors. Their use has potential to reduce heterogeneity in routine clinical practice and improve standardisation and accuracy of vision assessment. Future research is required to evaluate the use of these COS and COM.
