Optimistic ants: Positive cognitive judgement bias but no emotional contagion in the antLasius niger
Authors: Wenig K. , Kapfinger H. , Koch A. , Czaczkes T.J. 
Published: November 2022

AbstractUnderstanding the emotional states of animals is key for informing their ethical treatment, but very little attention has been directed towards the emotional lives of invertebrates. As emotions influence information processing, one way to assess emotional states is to look for an individual’s cognitive bias, i.e., their tendency to make optimistic or pessimistic judgements. Here we developed a free-running judgment bias task for the antLasius niger, and applied the judgement bias to assess ants’ reactions towards positive and negative stimuli. After an initial learning phase in which individuals were trained to associate two odour stimuli with positive or negative reinforcement, their reaction towards ambiguous stimuli, i.e., a mixture between both odours, was assessed. We also explored our study species’ capacity to socially transmit emotional states (‘emotional contagion’) by investigating whether social information could elicit emotional responses. We findL. nigerto be optimistic, showing a baseline positive judgement bias, with 65-68% of ants preferring an ambiguous 1:1 mix of positive and negative cues over no cues. Providing an unexpected food reward prior to the judgement bias task increases positive judgement bias (c. 75% positive). There was a non- significant tendency towards a negative judgement bias after experiencing a mild electric shock (c. 75% negative). Neither positive nor negative social information (trail and alarm pheromones, respectively) affected the ants’ judgement biases, thus providing no indication for emotional contagion. The development of a powerful, simple, and ecologically relevant cognitive judgement task, deployable in the lab and in the field, opens the door to systematic comparative studies of the evolutionary and ecological causes of judgement bias.

PurposeThe thermophysiological comfort of fabrics is prerequisite as customers covet adequate moisture, heat management-supported and UV protective clothing that measure up to their levels of activities and environmental conditions. Hitherto, scant tasks have been reported with the purpose of engineering both comfort and UV protection simultaneously. From that vantage point, the objective of this work is to develop a model for optimum UPF, air permeability, water-vapour resistance, thermal resistance, thermal absorptivity and areal density of knitted fabrics.Design/methodology/approachWeft knitted fabrics of various compositions were investigated. UPF was tested using the Labsphere UV transmittance analyser. The FX 3300 (Textest instruments) air permeability tester was used to test air permeability. Thermal comfort and water-vapour resistance were evaluated using the Alambeta and Permetest instruments, respectively. Based on image processing, the porosity was measured. Fabrics thickness and areal density were measured according to standard methods. Furthermore, parametric and non-parametric statistical test methods were applied to the data for analysis.FindingsLinear regression was substantiated by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Then multiple linear regression of porosity and thickness together on UPF and comfort parameters were visually depicted by virtue of 3D linear plots. Residual analysis with quantile-quantile and probability plots, advocated the tests using the Shapiro-Wilk test. The result was validated by comparison with experimental data tested. The samples gave satisfactory relative errors and were supported by thez-test method. All tests indicated failure to reject the null hypothesis.Originality/valueThe predictive models were embedded into an interactive computer program. Fabric thickness and porosity are the inputs needed to run the program. It will predict the optimum UPF, areal density and thermophysiological comfort parameters. In a nutshell, knitters may use the program to determine optimum structural parameters for diverse permutations of UPF and thermophysiological comfort parameters; scilicet high UV protection together with low thermal insulation combined with low water-vapour resistance and high air permeability.
Community construals of CSR for happiness: a mixed-method study using natural language
Authors: Chia Austin , Doyle Kim , Kern Margaret L. 
Published: November 2022

Purpose
Drawing upon a contractarian lens of corporate social responsibility (CSR), this study aims to explore community construals of happiness and evaluates conceptual boundaries of CSR for happiness.

Design/methodology/approach
Using a mixed-methods design, natural language processing and thematic analysis techniques were used to analyse large volumes of textual survey data collected from over 1,000 research participants through an online survey.

Findings
Results indicated that lay construals of happiness were primarily defined in terms of socioeconomic conditions and psychoemotional experiences. In explicating the boundary conditions, community perceptions regarding the extent of businesses’ social responsibilities for happiness were evidenced in five themes: that businesses have a responsibility not to harm happiness, a responsibility to enable conditions for happiness to occur, a responsibility to exercise awareness of happiness implications in decision-making, a responsibility for happiness that is limited by strategic purpose and resource capability and a responsibility for happiness that is limited by stakeholder proximity.

Originality/value
This study contributes to the theoretical and empirical foundation of CSR for happiness while simultaneously developing and applying a novel approach for processing and analysing large volumes of qualitative survey-based data.

AbstractIntroductionDiabetes mellitus is one of the most important risk factors for lower‐limb amputation in patients undergoing hemodialysis. However, the influence of diabetes mellitus on survival after lower‐limb amputation is unknown.MethodsPatients who underwent lower‐limb amputation since 1996 (amputation group) and those who underwent hemodialysis during 2011–2012 (control group) were included and were followed up until July 2022.ResultsThere were 70 patients (age: 66.3 ± 8.2 years, 80% male, 77% diabetic) in the amputation group and 328 (age: 67.5 ± 13.5 years, 56% male, 33% diabetic) in the control group. The amputation group showed a poorer prognosis than the control group (hazard ratio [HR]: 2.41, p < 0.001). In the control group, patients with diabetes exhibited poorer survival than those without diabetes (HR: 1.86, p < 0.001). In the amputation group, patients with diabetes exhibited improved survival (HR: 0.47, p = 0.02).ConclusionPatients undergoing hemodialysis who underwent lower‐limb amputation exhibited a poor prognosis, irrespective of diabetes status.
Does Smoking Keep You Slim? Evidence from Japan's Smoking Ban in the Workplace
Authors: Zhang Junchao 
Published: November 2022

AbstractLong‐term time‐series data show a strong negative correlation between obesity and smoking prevalence, which may not reflect the causality. Many heavy smokers claim that smoking helps them maintain a slim body and keep smoking despite the health risks. Using the Japan Household Panel Survey, this study investigates the causal effect of smoking on body shapes by exogenous variations of Japan's smoking ban in the workplace. Contrary to previous studies, our instrumental variable estimates show that smoking has no effect on body mass index, obesity and underweightness. We also construct an overidentified model to test the robustness of our results.
SETDB1 regulates microtubule dynamics

Published: November 2022

AbstractObjectivesSETDB1 is a methyltransferase responsible for the methylation of histone H3‐lysine‐9, which is mainly related to heterochromatin formation. SETDB1 is overexpressed in various cancer types and is associated with an aggressive phenotype. In agreement with its activity, it mainly exhibits a nuclear localization; however, in several cell types a cytoplasmic localization was reported. Here we looked for cytoplasmic functions of SETDB1.MethodsSETDB1 association with microtubules was detected by immunofluorescence and co‐sedimentation. Microtubule dynamics were analysed during recovery from nocodazole treatment and by tracking microtubule plus‐ends in live cells. Live cell imaging was used to study mitotic kinetics and protein–protein interaction was identified by co‐immunoprecipitation.ResultsSETDB1 co‐sedimented with microtubules and partially colocalized with microtubules. SETDB1 partial silencing led to faster polymerization and reduced rate of catastrophe events of microtubules in parallel to reduced proliferation rate and slower mitotic kinetics. Interestingly, over‐expression of either wild‐type or catalytic dead SETDB1 altered microtubule polymerization rate to the same extent, suggesting that SETDB1 may affect microtubule dynamics by a methylation‐independent mechanism. Moreover, SETDB1 co‐immunoprecipitated with HDAC6 and tubulin acetylation levels were increased upon silencing of SETDB1.ConclusionsTaken together, our study suggests a model in which SETDB1 affects microtubule dynamics by interacting with both microtubules and HDAC6 to enhance tubulin deacetylation. Overall, our results suggest a novel cytoplasmic role for SETDB1 in the regulation of microtubule dynamics.

Published: November 2022

SummaryA 7‐year‐old Warmblood mare presented with bilateral epistaxis, facial swelling and deviation of the nose and upper lip. Upon clinical and computed tomographic examination a complete, oblique, open and displaced fracture of the nasal process of the incisive bone of the left and right maxilla was found. In order to maintain a good alignment and reduction in the fracture, a temporary retention with cerclage wire connecting the incisors of the mandible and maxilla was used. The fracture was then treated surgically with a 3.5‐mm narrow‐locking compression plate on the dorsolateral aspect of the incisive bone in combination with oral cerclage wiring. The intra‐oral cerclage wiring was removed 12 weeks post‐surgery, while the plate remained in situ. Minor post‐surgical complications consisted of transient facial nerve paralysis and swelling. Follow‐up radiographs taken 8 weeks after surgery documented good fracture healing. Nine months after surgery the mare has returned to her intended use and showed excellent cosmesis.

Published: November 2022

ObjectivesTo assess the association between aspects of the dentist‐patient relationship at age 65 and Oral Impacts on Daily Performances (OIDP) at ages 65 and 70 and to examine whether dental avoidance behaviours play a role in explaining that association.BackgroundInformation about the quality of the dentist‐patient relationship is important for dental care provision and healthy ageing.MethodSecondary data analysis of a cohort study of Norwegians born in 1942. The participation rate in 2007 (age 65) and 2012 (age 70) was, respectively, 58.0% (n = 4211) and 54.5% (n = 3733). A total of 70.0% (n = 2947) of the baseline participants responded in 2012. Dentist‐patient relationship aspects were assessed in terms of communication with the dentist, satisfaction with dental care, unpleasant experiences and changes of dentist. Generalised Estimating Equations (GEEs) were used to account for repeated measurements.ResultsPrevalence of oral impacts (OIDP) was 29.0% in 2007 and 28.4% in 2012. Participants who received communication on oral hygiene during dental visits had a higher likelihood, whereas participants who reported satisfaction with dental care, no unpleasant experience and did not change dentist had a lower likelihood of reporting oral impacts over these 5 years. Corresponding odds ratios were: 1.2 (95% CI 1.0–1.5), 0.4 (95% CI 0.3–0.5), 0.6 (95% CI 0.5–0.7) and 0.5 (95% CI 0.3–0.6). Associations between dentist‐patient relationship aspects and OIDP remained unchanged after adjustment for avoidance behaviours.ConclusionTraining dentists in relationship skills might improve social interaction with patients and the oral health–related quality of life of older people in Norway.

AbstractWe examined the factor structure of parental sensitivity to infants as assessed by the Mini‐Maternal Behavior Q‐Sort (Mini‐MBQS), a 25‐item short‐form of the original 90‐item MBQS. We aimed to: (1) identify latent factors of the Mini‐MBQS; and (2) validate each factor by testing associations with infant attachment classifications. Data on parent‐infant dyads (n = 313; 222 mothers with 281 children, 29 fathers with 32 children) were drawn from a three‐generation Australian cohort study. Exploratory Factor Analysis and Exploratory Structural Equation Modelling examined the structure of the Mini‐MBQS. Two latent Mini‐MBQS factors were identified, requiring 8 of 25 original items: (1) Attention and Responsiveness and (2) Contingency in Interactions. Infants with insecure attachment classifications had parents with lower sensitivity across both factors relative to infants classified secure. In particular, infants with resistant attachment classifications had parents with notably low Contingency in Interactions scores. Infants with disorganised attachment classifications had parents with the lowest relative sensitivity across both factors, and in these dyads Attention and Responsiveness scores were especially low. Results provide an empirically derived factor structure for the Mini‐MBQS. Two subscales, each with significant infant attachment associations, may improve precision in clinical intervention and research translation.

AbstractAimTo compare the peri‐implant soft‐tissue dimensional changes following guided bone regeneration between particulate (particle group) and collagenated soft‐block‐type (block group) biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP).Materials and MethodsThis study investigated 35 subjects: 18 in the particle group and 17 in the block group. Cone‐beam computed tomography obtained at 6 months post surgery and optical impressions taken periodically (before surgery, 6 months post surgery, and 1 year post surgery) were superimposed. The ridge contour changes over time and the peri‐implant mucosal thicknesses were measured diagonally and horizontally, and analysed statistically.ResultsThe increases in diagonal (1.12 ± 0.78 mm) and horizontal (2.79 ± 1.90 mm) ridge contour of the block group were significantly higher than those in the particle group during the first 6 months (p < .05); however, the contour hardly changed thereafter (diagonal: 0.07 ± 0.75 mm; horizontal: −0.34 ± 1.26 mm), resulting in the 1‐year contour changes similar between the two groups. Regardless of the type of BCP, the ridge contour increased significantly over 1 year when the dehiscence defect had a contained configuration (p < .05).ConclusionsThe increase in soft‐tissue dimensions for 1 year was similar between the two groups. The mucosal contour increase was larger when the surgery was conducted in a more contained defect, and this was not influenced by the type of BCP.

Published: November 2022

AbstractAimThe study aimed to estimate the incidence/progression and reversal of chronic periodontitis and to identify factors associated with chronic periodontitis in Australian adults over a 12‐year period.Materials and MethodsData were obtained from the longitudinal component of the National Study of Adult Oral Health (NSAOH) in 2004–2006, and repeated data, among the same adults, in 2017–2018. NSAOH 2004–2006 was a population‐based study of Australian adults aged 15+ years. The American Academy of Periodontology/European Federation of Periodontology case definitions were used, and then compared with two other case definitions. Multivariable Poisson regression models were used to estimate incidence rate ratios (IRRs) and reversal rate ratio (RRRs) of periodontitis.ResultsA total of 775 dentate Australian adults had dental examinations at both times. The proportion of incidence/progression and reversal among Australian adults was 56.4% and 11.0%, respectively. Tobacco smokers presented with more than three times higher incidence (IRR: 3.32, 95% CI: 1.50–7.60) and lower reversals (RRR: 0.94, 95% CI: 0.39–0.98) than those who had never smoked. Cessation of smoking was positively associated with periodontitis reversal. The total incidence/progression was 471.7/10,000 person‐years, with reversal being 107.5/10,000 person‐years. The average number of teeth lost due to periodontal disease was 1.9 in 2017–2018. Being male and not having periodontal treatment were significant risk markers for the incidence/progression of periodontitis.ConclusionSmoking is a risk factor for periodontitis. Cessation of smoking is an effective means of reducing the incidence and progression of chronic periodontitis, to reduce the risk of tooth loss, and to improve overall periodontal health.
The Phanerozoic climate

Published: November 2022

AbstractWe review the long‐term climate variations during the last 540 million years (Phanerozoic Eon). We begin with a short summary of the relevant geological and geochemical datasets available for the reconstruction of long‐term climate variations. We then explore the main drivers of climate that appear to explain a large fraction of these climatic oscillations. The first is the long‐term trend in atmospheric CO2 due to geological processes, while the second is the atmospheric ionization due to the changing galactic environment. Other drivers, such as albedo and geographic effects, are of secondary importance. In this review, we pay particular attention to problems that may affect the measurements of temperature obtained from oxygen isotopes, such as the long‐term changes in the concentration of δ18O seawater.
Personal beginnings and institutional endings in spiritualism
Authors: Tomlinson Matt 
Published: November 2022

AbstractIn the religious movement known as Spiritualism, a medium's task is to provide evidence that there is no such thing as death. Human existence is defined by Spiritualists in terms of continual spiritual progress rather than stark beginnings and endings, although converts do tell vivid stories of the moment they realised Spiritualism's truth. The movement changed over decades as mediums turned their attention from physical to mental manifestations of spiritual presence. Mediumship has remained popular in public culture, but as an institution Spiritualism has declined in prominence to the point where many members of the movement now join it as converts and worry about the closure of churches. In this article, I juxtapose personal and institutional beginnings and endings to show their interrelation, with people's senses of radical newness and progress cultivated in the context of perceived institutional decline.

Authors: Das Sanghamitra , Joshi Shrikrishna N. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
Wire electric discharge machining (WEDM) is a widely used high-precision machining process. It has the capability of cutting high-strength alloys, namely, tool alloys, Hastelloy, and monel with very tight tolerance. Frequent wire breakage adversely affects the product geometric precision, surface integrity, and productivity of the manufacturing establishments. It is essential to understand the causes of wire breakage and to mitigate the frequency of its occurrence. This paper comprehensively reviews the experimental as well as theoretical research work reported on various aspects of wire electrode erosion such as the effect of heat generated in spark plasma, thermal stresses, wire rupture phenomena, and wire fatigue. It also presents important research findings on the causes of wire failure and advancements to reduce wire erosion and wire vibrations. The paper systematically and carefully examines the measures suggested to improve the wire life and depicts the development of various wire health monitoring and control systems. Overall, it presents useful insights and important guidelines for the efficient utilization of the wire EDM process by mitigating the causes of wire erosion and its failure. It will certainly help for the improvement of the precision machining capability of the WEDM process.
Can Inservice Inspections Be Eliminated for Passive Components in the U.S. Nuclear Fleet?
Authors: Rudland David L. 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
For the last 50 years, inservice inspection (ISI) of passive components, i.e., vessels, piping, etc., has played a pivotal role in maintaining the safety of the current nuclear fleet. The original inspection programs were designed on a sampling strategy, where a sampling of similar components is scheduled to provide a measure of assurance that all components are safe. Over the last several years, the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved plant-specific extensions to in-service inspection frequencies with a basis that includes operational experience and risk-informed arguments. In addition, risk assessment has been used to allow classification of components into risk categories with low-risk categories being exempt for certain inservice inspection requirements. From a risk-perspective, the impact of passive component failure on overall plant safety is typically small. However, these calculations are based on current state of knowledge and many times lack the ability to foresee potential degradation issues. The operational experience suggests that even though the discovery of new degradation mechanics has slowed over the years, continuing degradation and its impact on risk-insights should be considered when evaluating the need for periodic inspection of passive components. This paper presents some thoughts on the impacts of eliminating in-service inspection requirements for passive components and how monitoring performance is essential to plant safety.
