Randomized Trial Examining the Effect of a 12-wk Exercise Program on Hedonic Eating

ABSTRACT Nonhomeostatic (or hedonic) eating can be detrimental to weight control efforts, yet the effect of exercise on hedonic eating is unclear. Purpose This efficacy trial tests the hypothesis that exercise training favorably affects hedonic eating (i.e., overeating, stress-induced overeating, disinhibited eating, eating when tempted), in a sample of women who are overweight or obese. Methods Participants were inactive at baseline, self-identified as “stress eaters,” and were randomized to 12 wk of moderate-intensity exercise training (EX; combination of supervised and objectively confirmed unsupervised sessions) or to a no-exercise control condition (CON). EX participants were given an exercise goal of 200 min·wk−1. No dietary instructions or weight control strategies were provided. Assessments occurred at baseline and 12 wk. Overeating episodes, stress-induced overeating, and dietary temptations were measured over 14 d at each assessment using ecological momentary assessment. Disinhibition and dietary restraint were assessed via a questionnaire. Results Forty-nine participants (age, 40.4 ± 10.8 yr; body mass index, 32.4 ± 4.1 kg·m−2) enrolled, and 39 completed this study. Adherence to the exercise intervention was high (99.4% of all prescribed exercise). At week 12, the proportion of eating episodes that were characterized as overeating episodes was lower in EX versus CON (21.98% in EX vs 26.62% in control; P = 0.001). Disinhibition decreased in EX but not in CON (P = 0.02) and was driven by internal factors. There was a trend such that CON was more likely to give into dietary temptations (P = 0.08). Stress-induced overeating was low and did not differ between conditions (P = 0.61). Conclusions Exercise training reduced the likelihood of overeating and eating in response to internal cues in women who self-identified as stress eaters. This may be one pathway by which exercise affects body weight.
Risk Potential for Organ Dysfunction Associated With Sodium Bicarbonate Therapy in Critically Ill Patients With Hemodynamic Worsening

Background: The role of sodium bicarbonate therapy (SBT) remains controversial. This study aimed to investigate whether hemodynamic status before SBT contributed to the heterogeneous outcomes associated with SBT in acute critically ill patients. Methods: We obtained data from patients with metabolic acidosis from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-III database. Propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to match the SBT group with the control group. Logistic regression and Cox regression were used to analyze a composite of newly “developed or exacerbated organ dysfunction” (d/eOD) within 7 days of ICU admission and 28-day mortality associated with SBT for metabolic acidosis. Results: A total of 1,765 patients with metabolic acidosis were enrolled, and 332 pairs obtained by PSM were applied to the final analyses in the study. An increased incidence of newly d/eOD was observed in the SB group compared with the control group (54.8 vs. 44.6%, p < 0.01). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that the adjusted OR of SBT for this composite outcome was no longer significant [OR (95% CI): 1.39 (0.9, 1.85); p = 0.164]. This effect of SBT did not change with the quintiles stratified by pH. Interestingly, SBT was associated with an increased risk of the composite of newly d/eOD in the subgroup of patients with worsening hemodynamics before SBT [adjusted OR (95% CI): 3.6 (1.84, 7.22), p < 0.001]. Moreover, the risk potential for this composite of outcomes was significantly increased in patients characterized by both worsening [adjusted OR (95% CI): 2.91 (1.54, 5.47), p < 0.001] and unchanged hemodynamics [adjusted OR (95% CI): 1.94 (1.01, 3.72), p = 0.046] compared to patients with improved hemodynamics before SBT. Our study failed to demonstrate an association between SBT and 28-day mortality in acute critically ill patients with metabolic acidosis. Conclusions: Our findings did not demonstrate an association between SBT and outcomes in critically ill patients with metabolic acidosis. However, patients with either worsening or unchanged hemodynamic status in initial resuscitation had a significantly higher risk potential of newly d/eOD subsequent to SBT.
A Meta-Analytic Review of the Relationship Between Learning Organization and Organizational Performance and Employee Attitudes: Using the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire

The purpose of this meta-analysis study is to examine the correlations between the Dimensions of Learning Organization Questionnaire (DLOQ) and frequently examined outcomes including organizational performance and employee attitudes. Positive relationships were found between the DLOQ and organizational performance (e.g., financial, knowledge, and innovative performance) and employee attitudes (e.g., organizational commitment and job satisfaction) and the sub-dimensions (e.g., affective, continuance, and normative commitment), with a notable exception of a negative relationship between the DLOQ and turnover. Because the DLOQ has been used in many countries over the years, this study also examined the influence of national culture on the outcomes. Power distance moderated the relationship between the learning organization and overall organizational performance. Our meta-analytic review makes substantive contributions to the literature on the learning organization concept and the study of national culture as a significant moderator. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.
[Hyperhidrosis as risk factor for tinea pedis].

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate a possible association between tinea pedis (interdigital mycosis) and hyperhidrosis by a case-control-study. PATIENTS AND METHODS 30 otherwise healthy patients (age 22-56 years, 30% female) with mycologically proven tinea pedis and 51 control patients were included. RESULTS 53.3% of the patients with tinea pedis and 33.3% of the control-patients had focal hyperhidrosis defined by gravimetry (definition as > or =30 mg sweat/min) (p-value=0.08). To control for possible confounding variables a multivariate analysis was performed including possible risk factors such as gender, regular visits in sauna and/or swimming pools. Multivariate analysis found a 3.5-fold increased risk for patients with tinea pedis to have hyperhidrosis. CONCLUSION The study supports an association between tinea pedis or interdigital mycosis and focal plantar hyperhidrosis and therefore lends credence to the treatment of hyperhidrosis in patients with tinea pedis.
Outcomes of intravenous thrombolytic therapy in cardioembolic strokes

Background/Aim: It is controversial whether intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (IV r-tPA) treatment outcomes in cardioembolic strokes differ from other types of strokes. This study aims to investigate the clinical data of patients with cardioembolic and large-vessel atherosclerosis who received IV r-tPA treatment and compare and discuss the results according to the literature. Methods: The data of the patients who were admitted within the first 4.5 hours following the onset of symptoms, diagnosed with acute ischemic stroke in the Neurology clinic of Kutahya Evliya Celebi Training and Research Hospital and underwent IV r-tPA were evaluated in this retrospective cohort study. Demographic data, clinical and functional results of patients were compared between the two groups (cardioembolic and large vessel atherosclerosis). Results: Eighty-five patients with ischemic stroke who received IV r-tPA treatment due to cardioembolism and large-vessel atherosclerosis were included in the study. There were 51 patients (60%) in the cardioembolic stroke group and 34 patients (40%) in the large vascular atherosclerotic group. There was no significant difference in terms of functional results between the groups (62.7% vs 44.1%; P=0.09). While symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage was not detected in the large-vessel atherosclerosis group, it occurred in 3.9% of the cardioembolic stroke group. Conclusion: This study proved that functional and clinical results are similar between cardioembolic and large-vessel atherosclerosis patients who were treated with IV r-tPA treatment. Regardless of the etiology, all suitable patients with acute ischemic stroke should be treated with thrombolytic therapy.
Covered Skin Bilirubin Measurement During Phototherapy In Comparison With Total Serum Bilirubin In Full Term Neonates

Background: Jaundice is a common problem in neonates. Patients undergoing phototherapy need close follow-up of their serum bilirubin levels to determine the treatment response.Objective: To compare between transcutaneous bilirubin measurements (TCB) from covered skin area during phototherapy and total serum bilirubin (TSB) levels.Study design: This prospective observational study included thirty full-term neonates with indirect hyperbilirubinemia requiring phototherapy. We covered a part of the skin (forehead and sternum) in each neonate by using BiliEclipse photo opaque patch and used this covered site to measure TCB during phototherapy to compare it with TSB. Both TSB and TCB estimation were performed from icteric newborns before, at 24 and 48 hours of exposure to phototherapy Results: There was no significant difference between TSB, forehead TCB and sternum TCB before phototherapy and no significant difference between TSB, covered forehead & sternum TCB at 24 hours and 48hours of starting phototherapy. There was highly significant positive correlation between TSB, covered forehead and sternum TCB during phototherapy. No significant difference in both covered forehead and sternum TCB according to different used TCB devices. Conclusion: Measurement of TCB from covered area of skin during phototherapy using transcutaneous bilirubinmeters is reliable method to assess TSB in full term neonates and could lead to a reduction in blood sampling and its complications.
Sensing performance of Cu-decorated Si12C12 nanocage towards toxic cyanogen gas: a DFT study

In this work, the adsorption of cyanogen (NCCN) molecule on the external surface of pristine and Cu-decorated Si12C12 (Cu@Si12C12) nanocage has been reported using density functional theory (DFT) calculations at the WB97XD/6-31 + G(d) level. The weak physisorption can be seen for the adsorption of the NCCN molecule onto the pristine nanocage. Thus, the structural and electronic properties of the pristine Si12C12 do not change dramatically by the adsorption process. As a result, Si12C12 nanocage cannot be a proper sensor for detecting and sensing NCCN molecule. In order to improve the properties of the nanosensor, Cu decorating process was investigated. Results obtained show that on the effectiveness of this process, the electrical properties of Si12C12 are considerably changed. In addition to, we investigated the adsorption of the NCCN molecule on to the external surface of Cu-decorated Si12C12 (Cu@Si12C12). According to the results of the calculations, this process is chemisorptions with the adsorption energy (Eads) in about −102.84 kJ · mol−1 and also in this process; the value of energy gap (Eg) is significantly decreased. Therefore Cu@Si12C12 is a suitable adsorbent and it is expected that can potentially to be used as nanosensors for detecting the presence of toxic NCCN molecule.
Arctic Sea Ice Decline Preconditions Events of Anomalously Low Sea Ice Volume Export Through Fram Strait in the Early 21st Century

Understanding the changes of Fram Strait sea ice volume export and responsible processes is crucial due to their climate relevance. In this paper, we disentangled the processes driving the interannual variability and trends of the Fram Strait sea ice volume export in the early 21st century (2001–2019) by using dedicated numerical simulations with the support of observations. The significant decreasing trend in the sea ice volume export is caused by the persistent thinning trend of Arctic sea ice, while the interannual variability of the volume export is predominantly determined by winds. The interannual variability of the volume export can be mainly attributed to the variation in sea ice drift at Fram Strait, while the variation in Fram Strait sea ice thickness also plays an important role. As a result, the atmospheric mode that can better represent the wind variability driving the variability of both the sea ice drift and thickness at Fram Strait can better explain the variability of the sea ice volume export. The wintertime Arctic Oscillation (AO) and Fram Strait sea ice volume export continue to have a strong linkage in the early 21st century. The persistent thinning of Arctic sea ice preconditions events of anomalously low Strait a global ocean general circulation model using unstructured triangular meshes (Danilov 2004; Q. et al., FESOM solves the primitive equations based on hydrostatic and Boussinesq approxi-mations intended for large-scale climate studies. We use a variable-resolution mesh, which has horizontal resolution of 1° in most parts of the global ocean. The resolution is refined to 24 km north of 45°N and further refined to 4.5 km in the Arctic Ocean. In the vertical, the ocean mesh has 10 m spacing in the upper 100 m, with a total of 47 z-levels. To parameterize diapycnal mixing, the K-profile parameterization scheme (Large et al., 1994) is used. Eddy isopycnal and skew diffusivity is scaled with local horizontal resolution as suggested by Q. Wang et al. (2014). The Smagorinsky (1963) viscosity in the biharmonic form is used.
Powertrain Design and Control in Electrified Vehicles: A Critical Review

Electrified vehicles are considered a promising technology for energy savings and emission reductions. Both powertrain design (configuration design and component sizing) and energy management strategies (EMSs) for electrified vehicles have been studied extensively. However, powertrain design and energy management need to be examined holistically and optimized simultaneously, from a mechatronic viewpoint, for maximizing the potential of electrified powertrains. This article provides a comprehensive, critical review of the current state, and prospects of electrified powertrain design and energy management. The research status in both powertrain design and energy management development is reviewed and discussed. First, the modeling techniques for rapid configuration design are thoroughly reviewed and summarized. Then, the optimization methods for component sizing are elucidated. Next, the classical EMSs are categorized, and several near-optimal strategies used for powertrain design are elaborated. Finally, the current challenges and future trends of electrified powertrain design and control are discussed, which provides a useful reference to researchers in this area.
The Impact of Work Engagement on Future Occupational Rankings, Wages, Unemployment, and Disability Pensions—A Register-Based Study of a Representative Sample of Finnish Employees

Despite ample interest in the potential consequences of work engagement over the last two decades, the question of whether work engagement predicts proximal and more distal career-related outcomes has gained surprisingly little attention. Using Conservation of Resources (COR) theory and a sustainable careers framework, the aim of this study was to investigate whether work engagement predicts register-based outcomes of wages, moves in occupational rankings, unemployment, and disability pensions. We used nationally representative survey data (n = 4876; response rate 68.7%) on Finnish employees derived from the Quality of Work Life Survey (QWLS) and matched respondent data to the Finnish Longitudinal Employer–Employee Data (FLEED), which covered the period 2013–2015. We utilized ordinary least squares (OLS) and instrumental variable (IV) estimations to strengthen causality in the analyses. Even after controlling for outcomes at baseline and several covariates, e.g., health, we found that work engagement positively predicted future wages and the probability of rising in occupational rankings, and negatively predicted future unemployment and disability pensions. This study extends the scope of the possible benefits of work engagement for employees, organizations, and society at large and contributes to career research by indicating the importance of work engagement for objectively measured indicators of sustainable careers.
Exploring Preferences for Transportation Modes in the City of Munich after the Recent Incorporation of Ride-Hailing Companies

The growth of ride-hailing (RH) companies over the past few years has affected urban mobility in numerous ways. Despite widespread claims about the benefits of such services, limited research has been conducted on the topic. This paper assesses the willingness of Munich transportation users to pay for RH services. Realizing the difficulty of obtaining data directly from RH companies, a stated preference survey was designed. The dataset includes responses from 500 commuters. Sociodemographic attributes, current travel behavior and transportation mode preference in an 8 km trip scenario using RH service and its similar modes (auto and transit), were collected. A multinomial logit model was used to estimate the time and cost coefficients for using RH services across income groups, which was then used to estimate the value of time (VOT) for RH. The model results indicate RH services’ popularity among those aged 18–39, larger households and households with fewer autos. Higher income groups are also willing to pay more for using RH services. To examine the impact of RH services on modal split in the city of Munich, we incorporated RH as a new mode into an existing nested logit mode choice model using an incremental logit. Travel time, travel cost and VOT were used as measures for the choice commuters make when choosing between RH and its closest mode, metro. A total of 20 scenarios were evaluated at four different congestion levels and four price levels to reflect the demand in response to acceptable costs and time tradeoffs.
Comparison of The Periodontal Status in the Patients with Active and Inactive Rheumatoid Arthritis

Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is the most common chronic inflammatory joint disease. Periodontitis is also an inflammatory disease that affects the periodontal tissue. The former studies have been suggested probable relationship between them. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation of severity of Periodontitis and RA activity. Materials and Methods: In this study 50 patients who referred to the Rheumatology Department of the Khatamolanbia clinic of Yazd considering inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study. After obtaining the informed consent, based on rheumatologic criteria such as Sedimentation (ESR and Clinical features they were divided into two groups; active and inactive RA. Topics were compared based on age, sex, Rheumatoid Factor, Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate, Hemoglobin Level for RA Bleeding on Probing, Clinical Attachment Loss, Pocket Depth, and Tooth Loss for periodontitis. Results: The results of this study showed that there was no significant relationship between the variables studied in the active and inactive RA subgroups (p> 0.05). Conclusion: According to the present study while all RA patients show some degree of periodontitis, the periodontitis severity is not correlated with RA activity.
Technology-enabled remote learning during Covid-19: perspectives of Australian teachers, students and parents

ABSTRACT The majority of Australian students learned remotely in term two (April–June 2020), in response to state government directives to close schools during the ‘first wave’ of Covid-19. This created myriad challenges for students, teachers and parents. Accordingly, this study seeks to capture these multiple perspectives of the remote learning experience. Forty interviews were conducted at the end of term two, with students, teachers and parents. The findings represent an integrated framework for engagement in the context of remote education. Engaging students was a top priority for teachers – albeit students felt less engaged with teachers. Student–peer engagement varied considerably. Lack of social interaction was a challenge for many students. Parents remained pragmatic, but largely unengaged with teachers. For the most part, students found online learning to be less personalised. While the pandemic has expedited emergency technology adoption in schools, this is not equivalent to the purposeful integration of technology over time.

Physical, rheological and chemical features of recycled asphalt embraced with a hybrid rejuvenating agent

ABSTRACT Rejuvenating agents are considered desirable options in rejuvenating recycled asphalt’s properties. Hence, the capability of integrating waste engine oil (WEO) and maltene to rejuvenate the traits of recycled asphalt was investigated. The penetration, softening point, ductility and viscosity were measured to determine an ideal amount of hybrid rejuvenating agent. Then, the rejuvenated asphalt was evaluated against different samples through maltene to asphaltene ratio, rolling thin film oven (RTFO), storage stability, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bend beam rheometer (BBR) tests. Later, the Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and contact angle were employed. Based on the physical tests and the statistical analysis, the properties of recycled samples were restored approximately to that of the virgin asphalt by adding appropriate doses of hybrid rejuvenating agent. Meanwhile, the DSR and BBR results reported comparable performance between the rejuvenated and virgin samples. The hybrid rejuvenating agent has reduced the chemical ageing index and asphaltene content of the recycled asphalt. Moreover, TGA exhibited that the rejuvenated samples became more sensitive to temperature compared to recycled asphalt. In conclusion, 5% and 10% of the hybrid rejuvenating agent can renovate recycled asphalt for subsequent reuse in pavements depending on the characteristics of recycled asphalt.
