Esthetical Properties of Single-Shade and Multishade Composites in Posterior Teeth by Graziela R. Batista, Alessandra B. Borges, Rayssa F. Zanatta, Cesar R. Pucci, Carlos R. G. Torres

“…Only for darker shades (A4, B4, and C4), most of the evaluators considered the restorations made with the MS material more aesthetic than with the SS, while for the other shades, nonsignificant differences were observed. Therefore, the choice of the SS and the MS/opacity composites does not influence the aesthetic outcome of posterior restorations for the lighter shades. …”

Simultaneous tACS-fMRI reveals state- and frequency-specific modulation of hippocampal-cortical functional connectivity by Max Kaiser, Yuejuan Wang, Sanne Ten Oever, Felix Duecker, Alexander T. Sack, Vincent van de Ven

“…Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) is appealing because it allows oscillatory stimulation to study hippocampal theta (3–8 Hz) activity. We found that tACS administered during functional magnetic resonance imaging yielded a frequency-, mental state- and topologically-specific effect of theta stimulation (but not other frequencies) enhancing right (but not left) hippocampal-cortical connectivity during resting blocks but not during task blocks. …”

Children’s literature as coupling point between global sustainability concerns and children’s local agency by Marie Kolmos, Anna Karlskov Skyggebjerg, Anne Maj Nielsen

“… This article is about how educators’ dialogical–creative presentation of children’s picture books has the potential to make global sustainability concerns accessible to young children. Thematization around climate change and the biodiversity crisis are global phenomena that are difficult to translate to the local settings where children spend part of their lives. …”
