BACKGROUND
The Fraxel Dual laser system (Solta Medical, Inc., Bothell, WA) contains a 1,550 and 1,927 nm wavelength single handpiece with different indications for each wavelength.

OBJECTIVE
To discuss treatment setting recommendations and best practices for select on-label and investigational applications of the 1,550 and 1,927 nm dual laser system.

MATERIALS AND METHODS
Eight board-certified dermatologists with 10 or more years of experience with the 1,550 and 1,927 nm laser system completed an online survey about their clinical experience with the system and then participated in a roundtable to share clinical perspectives and best practices for using the laser system.

RESULTS
For all Fitzpatrick skin types, treatment recommendations were described for selected approved indications for the 1,550 and 1,927 nm laser system, including both lasers in combination. Treatment recommendations were also reached for investigational applications with the 1,550 nm laser and 1,927 nm laser. Best practices for using the lasers during the treatment session to achieve optimal outcomes and decrease the post-treatment recovery time were compiled.

CONCLUSION
The 1,550 and 1,927 nm dual laser system is effective for a wide range of aesthetic and therapeutic applications, on and off the face and across all Fitzpatrick skin types.
Application framework for safety-centric construction acceleration planning
Authors: Mahdavian Samin , Lu Ming , Pereira Estacio 
Published: January 2022

PurposePrevious research regarding shaping factors and major causes behind accidents in the construction field is reviewed. In particular, a hypothetical model is established to correlate activity time, cost and safety in the context of construction activity acceleration planning. Two demonstration cases are presented to illustrate the proposed theoretical model in the context of critical activity expedition planning. Further, a third case uses a 100-activity project to perform the global level total project time and cost analysis, identifying specific activity acceleration plans that would materialize the shortened total project time at the lowest total project cost.Design/methodology/approachThis research proposes a safety-centric application framework to guide construction acceleration planning at both activity and project levels while taking sufficient preventive measures against safety hazards and accidents. As planning construction acceleration by factoring in safety constraints inevitably drives up cost, it is imperative to control increases in activity costs at the local level in connection with schedule acceleration planning while at the same time not compromising on safety. This research also addresses this critical question through performing global level total project time and cost analysis.FindingsAn application framework is proposed for guiding a planner through identifying accident shaping factors, obeying schedule acceleration rules and accounting for safety-related costs in attempts to mitigate hazardous situations on-site at both activity level (local) and project level (global), resulting in (1) minimizing the increase of total project cost in schedule acceleration while at the same time not compromising on safety at individual activities; (2) producing specific execution plans on each individual activity in terms of the amount of time to crash and the associated activity cost.Originality/valueThis study is original in developing theories and methods for evaluating the impact of safety constraints upon construction time and cost in activity acceleration planning and project time-cost analysis. The research fills a gap in knowledge in terms of how to factor in sufficient safety constraints while achieving project time and cost objectives on construction acceleration planning at both activity and project levels.

Published: January 2022

Purpose
This paper aims to target tracking in the marine environment is typically obtained by considering the measurement parameters like frequency, elevation and bearing. Marine environmental surveillance provides critical information and assistance for the exploitation and maintenance of marine resources.

Design/methodology/approach
With the use of intelligent sensor techniques like Hull-mounted and towed array sensors, convenient, precise and dependable three-dimensional (3D) underwater target tracking is introduced.

Findings
This research investigates a method to develop a reliable Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) algorithm for enhanced underwater target tracking in a 3D scenario by using bearing, frequency and elevation measurements. In applications for underwater target tracking, uncertainty and inaccuracies are typically described by using Gaussian additive noise.

Originality/value
The proposed UKF algorithm is tested and analyzed using 100 Monte Carlo simulations with the Gaussian generated noise.

Published: January 2022

AbstractArge nipponensis group is proposed for 12 East Asian species. A key to species of this group is provided. Arge aurora Wei, sp. nov., a widespread species in China is described. It has been misidentified as Arge nipponensis Rohwer, 1910 in China since 1927. Arge nipponensis Rohwer is removed from the faunal list of China. The ovipositor and genitalia of A. nipponensis are described and figured for the first time. The geographic distribution analysis indicated that geographical barriers were probably the key to the distribution of A. aurora and A. nipponensis.
Is use of the general system justification scale across countries justified? Testing its measurement equivalence
Authors: Vesper Denise , König Cornelius J. , Siegel Rudolf , Friese Malte 
Published: January 2022

AbstractSystem justification is a widely researched topic in social and political psychology. One major measurement instrument in system justification research is the General System Justification Scale (G‐SJS). This scale has been used, among others, for comparisons across social groups in different countries. Such comparisons rely on the assumption that the scale is measurement equivalent. However, this assumption has never been comprehensively tested. Thus, the present two studies assessed the measurement equivalence of the G‐SJS following classic measurement equivalence guidelines (i.e., multigroup confirmatory factor analyses) in Study 1 and using a new method for comparing larger numbers of groups in Study 2 (i.e., alignment optimization). In Study 1, we analysed the measurement equivalence in Great Britain (n = 444), Germany (n = 454), and France (n = 463). In Study 2, we used a publicly available dataset consisting of 66 samples from 30 countries (N = 13,495) to again assess the measurement equivalence of the scale. Results indicated (partial) metric equivalence, but not scalar equivalence in both studies. Overall, the studies indicate that mean comparisons across the examined countries are not warranted with the current form of the G‐SJS. The scale needs to be revised for valid cross‐country comparisons of means.
Effects of masticatory loading on bone remodeling around teeth versus implants: Insights from a preclinical model

Published: January 2022

AbstractObjectivesTeeth connect to bone via a periodontal ligament, whereas implants connect to bone directly. Consequently, masticatory loads are distributed differently to periodontal versus peri‐implant bone. Our objective was to determine how masticatory loading of an implant versus a tooth affected peri‐implant versus periodontal bone remodeling. Our hypothesis was that strains produced by functional loading of an implant would be elevated compared with the strains around teeth, and that this would stimulate a greater degree of bone turnover around implants versus in periodontal bone.Materials and MethodsSixty skeletally mature mice were divided into two groups. In the implant group, maxillary first molars (mxM1) were extracted, and after socket healing, titanium alloy implants were positioned subocclusally. After osseointegration, implants were exposed, resin crowns were placed, and masticatory loading was initiated. In the control group, the dentition was left intact. Responses of peri‐implant and periodontal bone were measured using micro‐CT, histology, bone remodeling assays, and quantitative histomorphometry while bone strains were estimated using finite element (FE) analyses.ConclusionsWhen a submerged osseointegrated implant is exposed to masticatory forces, peri‐implant strains are elevated, and peri‐implant bone undergoes significant remodeling that culminates in new bone accrual. The accumulation of new bone functions to reduce both peri‐implant strains and bone remodeling activities, equivalent to those observed around the intact dentition.

AbstractThe sample storage environment affects gut microbial profiles as assessed using 16S rRNA sequencing. However, the influence of storage condition on human salivary microbial profiles has not been well characterized. Here, we performed an observational study to assess the robustness of microbiota profiles in three different storage environments (−80°C after flash‐freezing, −80°C, and −15°C; all for 14 days) compared to immediate DNA extraction using the MiSeq Illumina platform. Notably, the 16S rRNA V1–V2 region amplicon sequencing revealed no difference in microbiota profiles between the immediate extraction and each of three storage conditions. An almost perfect correlation was shown between the immediate extraction and the −15°C storage group for relative abundance at the genus and operational taxonomic unit levels. The intraindividual UniFrac distances among storage methods were significantly shorter than those of interindividual distances. None of the amount of extracted DNA, the α‐diversity indices, or the relative abundance at the phylum/genus/operational taxonomic unit level differed among storage methods. These findings indicate that a storage temperature of −15°C without flash‐freezing may be optimal in terms of cost advantage and simplicity in 16S rRNA sequencing‐based salivary microbial research.
ZC3H12C expression in dendritic cells is necessary to prevent lymphadenopathy of skin‐draining lymph nodes

Published: January 2022

AbstractThe role of RNA‐binding proteins of the CCCH‐containing family in regulating proinflammatory cytokine production and inflammation is increasingly recognized. We have identified ZC3H12C (Regnase‐3) as a potential post‐transcriptional regulator of tumor necrosis factor expression and have investigated its role in vivo by generating Zc3h12c‐deficient mice that express green fluorescent protein instead of ZC3H12C. Zc3h12c‐deficient mice develop hypertrophic lymph nodes. In the immune system, ZC3H12C expression is mostly restricted to the dendritic cell (DC) populations, and we show that DC‐restricted ZC3H12C depletion is sufficient to cause lymphadenopathy. ZC3H12C can regulate Tnf messenger RNA stability via its RNase activity in vitro, and we confirmed the role of Tnf in the development of lymphadenopathy. Finally, we found that loss of ZC3H12C did not impact the outcome of skin inflammation in the imiquimod‐induced murine model of psoriasis, despite Zc3h12c being identified as a risk factor for psoriasis susceptibility in several genome‐wide association studies. Our data suggest a role for ZC3H12C in DC‐driven skin homeostasis.
Native renal biopsy: outcomes with a 4‐h observation period in low‐risk outpatients
Authors: Trinh Katie , Bency Rosamma , Kairaitis Lukas 
Published: January 2022

AbstractCurrent practice guidelines recommend that ‘low‐risk’ outpatients undergoing percutaneous native renal biopsy (PRB) are observed for 6–8 h to identify post‐biopsy complications. We performed a retrospective review of 225 PRB procedures in low‐risk outpatients who were observed for a 4‐h period to determine the safety with regard to complication rate and timing. PRB was performed using a standardised protocol and under ultrasound guidance with a 16‐ or 18‐gauge needle. Bleeding complications occurred in 7% (16/225) of patients, of which 88% (14/16) were detected within a 4‐h period. The two undetected complications presented more than 72 h after the procedure. This suggests that a 4‐h observation period may be safe and adequate in identifying the majority of patients who will experience significant complications in the first 24 h, with a potential saving of time and resources.

Published: January 2022

AbstractFluoride glass is considered as an excellent optical material owing to its ultralow phonon energy (578 cm−1). However, its high thermal expansion coefficient (15.87 × 10−6/K) and deformability severely limit applications under service environments with high temperature, high humidity, and high‐power irradiation. To overcome these limitations, we developed a ZBLAN‐based fluoride glass ceramics (CZBLAN GCs) contained the negative thermal expansion material‐CaZrF6 crystals by phase‐separation engineering. The ability to control the precipitation of the desired crystal phase was achieved by adequate compositional design for phase separation, yielding improved or new properties in the development of fluoride GCs. With the successful precipitation of very uniformly dispersed single CaZrF6 crystals in the glass phase (up to ∼40% crystallinity), a significantly lower thermal expansion coefficient (3.66 × 10−6/K) in the fluoride system was achieved. Moreover, enhanced fluorescence properties of Eu‐doped CZBLAN GCs were observed compared with those of Eu‐doped ZBLAN glass owing to the lower phonon energy in GCs.
Radiation‐mediated supply of genetic variation outweighs the effects of selection and drift in Chernobyl Daphnia populations
Authors: Goodman Jessica , Brand June , Laptev Gennady , Auld Stuart K. J. R. 
Published: January 2022

AbstractPopulations experiencing varying levels of ionizing radiation provide an excellent opportunity to study the fundamental drivers of evolution. Radiation can cause mutations and thus supply genetic variation; it can also selectively remove individuals that are unable to cope with the physiological stresses associated with radiation exposure, or non‐selectively cull swathes of the population, reducing genetic variation. Since the nuclear power plant explosion in 1986, the Chernobyl area has experienced a spatially heterogeneous exposure to varying levels of ionizing radiation. We sampled Daphnia pulex (a freshwater crustacean) from lakes across the Chernobyl area, genotyped them at ten microsatellite loci and also calculated the current radiation dose rates. We then investigated whether the pattern of genetic diversity was positively associated with radiation dose rates, consistent with radiation‐mediated supply of de novo mutations, or negatively associated with radiation dose rates, as would be expected with strong radiation‐mediated selection. We found that measures of genetic diversity, including expected heterozygosity and mean allelic richness (an unbiased indicator of diversity), were significantly higher in lakes that experienced the highest radiation dose rates. This suggests that mutation outweighs selection as the key evolutionary force in populations exposed to high radiation dose rates. We also found significant but weak population structure, indicative of low genetic drift and clear evidence for isolation‐by‐distance between populations. This further suggests that gene flow between nearby populations is eroding population structure and that mutational input in high radiation lakes could, ultimately, supply genetic variation to lower radiation sites.
Storytelling through block play: imagining identities and creative citizenship
Authors: Ferreira Jonathan , Kendrick Maureen , Panangamu Sam 
Published: January 2022

AbstractIn 2021, more than 80 million people worldwide will have been forced to flee their homes. Upon arrival in their new country, families may endure numerous hardships, yet succumbing to these challenges is not their single story. To understand how migrant‐background and refugee‐background children imagine more liveable futures beyond social and education barriers, financial stress and unresolved emotional issues, our study focuses on the stories that 8‐ to 10‐year‐old learners created while playing with building toys and stacking blocks in a Canadian elementary school. Drawing on the interconnected frameworks of story‐telling, identity, creative citizenship and play‐based pedagogies, our case study of 11 students illustrates that, in response to an invitation to support their real or imagined communities, learners engaged in literacy practices, built on their lived experiences and imagined strong identities to create stories of social responsibility and awareness, emphasising the human needs of securing food and fresh water, ensuring safety, and connecting and caring for the community. Our findings may encourage teachers to consider play‐based storytelling to address out‐of‐school social factors in their classrooms and to capitalise on students' inquiries to design interdisciplinary projects that can develop students' literacies and promote social activism.

AbstractIn this paper, we examine the trajectory, orbital, and radiometric characteristics of the bolide event occurring off the coast of southern Florida and the Grand Bahama Island on April 13, 2021. An object measuring about 1.3 m in diameter entered the atmosphere at approximately 02:16:40 UTC at a velocity of 16 km s−1. It took an almost due north course between Florida and Grand Bahama Island, terminating in the Atlantic Ocean. No fragments have been recovered up to the date of submission of this paper. We used a fragmentation model to infer the internal structure of the object. We found that the best fit to the light curve and height of the peak energy deposition is with a weak stony meteor, with a density of about 2000 kg m−3, that disrupted and fragmented quickly, over a time interval of 1.5 s, or over a distance of about 11 km in altitude, between 45 and 34 km. We find that the impactor had a preatmospheric mass of 2.5 ± 0.5 t, resulting in a diameter of about 1.34 ± 0.09 m. We performed a backward integration of the trajectory to determine an orbit and found that the impacting object was a Jupiter family comet with a semimajor axis of about 3.6 AU, and an inclination of 9°, which is consistent with our analysis from the fragmentation model. We could not find a suitable candidate for a parent body.

AbstractBackgroundThe sense of loneliness is one of the common problems of older people and their quality of life, and is affected by many factors such as personal resources, gender, health condition, and age. This study investigates the determinants of the sense of loneliness between older men and women in Birjand.MethodsThis study was a part of the community‐based prospective cohort study of the Birjand Longitudinal Aging Study (BLAS). Individuals over 60 years of age and their families (selected by random cluster sampling) were assessed through structured interviews with questionnaires such as Patient Health Questionnaire, Short‐Form‐12, Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam Physical Activity Questionnaire, loneliness, and social support questions.ResultsThe mean age of the participants in the study was 68.59 ± 6.72, and 53.2% were women. Based on the findings of pathway analysis, the most critical determinants of loneliness in older men and women were the number of children (total effect = −0.112, P = 0.006) and mood, respectively (total effect = 0.142, P < 0.001). According to results, older people with fewer children feel lonelier.ConclusionCompared with men, emotional loneliness is more common in older women. Older women, who lost their husbands, suffer from loneliness, mental health disorders, and low quality of life.
Black Women in the Military: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Correlates of Sexual Harassment
Authors: Breslin Rachel A. , Daniel Samantha , Hylton Kimberly 
Published: January 2022

AbstractSexual harassment is a persistent problem in the workplace that warrants further attention in public administration research. Despite the fact that black women are one of the largest subpopulations in the military, most studies of sexual harassment treat women as a homogenous group, and results generally reflect the experiences of white women, given their overrepresentation in samples. Using data from a large‐scale and representative survey of military members, we find that nearly one in five black women in the military (17.9%) experienced sexual harassment in 2018. Our findings further detail black women's sexual harassment experiences and advance the discourse on the need to address sexual harassment in the workplace through an intersectional lens in order to design more inclusive prevention and response programs and policies. For example, inclusive programs should proactively account for the experiences of black women in the design and evaluation of prevention and response efforts.
