The Nutri-Score – A Quantitative Study of the Effectiveness of Visual Nudging on Consumer Behavior

Globally, unhealthy diets have a significant impact on people's risk of disease and mortality, so the German Ministry of Nutrition and Agriculture also focuses on healthier and balanced diets in its reduction and innovation strategy. By means of the Nutri-Score, the nudging principle is used to provide consumers with additional nutritional labelling and to encourage the purchase of healthier foods. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of visual nudging in FMCGs, i.e., the food industry, in the form of the Nutri-Score on consumers' purchase decisions and to validate its robustness with respect to demographic factors. For this purpose, an online survey was conducted with 294 participants leading to a total number of up to 3,528 observations regarding their purchase intention of selected products. A logistic regression analysis showed that the purchasing behaviour changed with the insertion of the Nutri-Score per se and with subjects avoiding negatively rated products and preferring positively rated ones. It was further shown that these effects persist regardless of participants’ demographics.

Src Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitory and Antioxidant Activity of Black Chokeberry and Bilberry Fruit Extracts Rich in Chlorogenic Acid

Edible berries such as the fruits of black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott) and bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L.) are considered to be rich in phenolic compounds, which are nowadays attracting great interest due to their promising health benefits. The main objective of our study was to investigate, for the first time, their inhibitory properties on Src tyrosine kinase activity, as this enzyme plays an important role in multiple cellular processes and is activated in both cancer and inflammatory cells. In hydroethanolic fruit extracts, 5.0–5.9% of total polyphenols were determined spectrophotometrically, including high amounts of hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives. HPLC analysis revealed that the black chokeberry and bilberry extracts contained 2.05 mg/g and 2.54 mg/g of chlorogenic acid, respectively. Using a time-resolved fluorescence resonance energy transfer (TR-FRET) assay, the extracts studied were found to have comparable inhibitory effects on Src tyrosine kinase, with IC50 values of 366 µg/mL and 369 µg/mL, respectively. The results also indicated that chlorogenic acid contributes significantly to the observed effect. In addition, both fruit extracts exhibited antioxidant activity by scavenging DPPH and NO radicals with SC50 values of 153–352 µg/mL. Our study suggested that black chokeberry and bilberry fruits may be beneficial in cancer and other inflammation-related diseases.
From XVI to XXI century: old and recent records of Brachyteles arachnoides (Primates, Atelidae) in the State of Rio de Janeiro

ABSTRACT. Two muriqui species are currently described in the literature: the southern muriqui, Brachyteles arachnoides (E. Geofroy, 1806) and the northern muriqui, Brachyteles hypoxanthus (Kuhl, 1820). Nowadays, the distribution of the southern muriqui is restricted to forest patches of the states of Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo and Paraná, while the northern muriqui occurs in Espírito Santo, Bahia and Minas Gerais. Both are threatened species, but there are still many gaps in our knowledge of their occurrence, especially for southern muriquis in the state of RJ. The purpose of this work is precisely to identify the primary areas of occurrence of the muriqui in Rio de Janeiro through historical reports by naturalists, adventurers and others since the 16th century. Thus, allowing to assist in the establishment and conservation strategies of the species.
Depression in Indonesian Adults with Diabetes Mellitus: A Descriptive Study from The Population-Based Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS)

Background: Indonesia is included in the top ten countries worldwide with the highest prevalence of diabetes cases. Diabetes is a persistent condition that cannot be fully treated and can cause complications, amputations, and mortality. Living with diabetes is associated with negative emotions, including depression. Study aims: The primary objective of this research is to detect depression among individuals with diabetes mellitus in Indonesia. Method: Data from the 2014 Indonesia Family Life Survey were used in this study. Adults with diabetes mellitus were included in this research, with complete socio-demographic and depression scale data. The 10-item Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale was used to measure depression symptoms. The data underwent analysis through descriptive analysis, independent sample t-test, and ANOVA. The Result: The research included 566 adults with diabetes mellitus, and 114 (20.1%) of them displayed symptoms of depression. The average age of the subjects was 51.97 years, and the average duration of diabetes was 4.17 years, with 309 (54.6%) of them being female. There were no differences in depression levels between gender (t=0.891, p> 0.05) or in the length of time since diagnosis (t= 1.023, p> 0.05). In contrast, there were age group differences (F = 4.950, p < 0.01); these differences were between early adult groups with middle and late adult group, but not between middle and late adults. Conclusion: Diabetes mellitus patients frequently experience depression. It is crucial to give equal importance to managing both conditions simultaneously to enhance the overall well-being and health outcomes of these patients.

Spaceborne TomoSAR and Beyond: From SAR Image Stacks to Objects

3D position and deformation of scattering objects in a scene can be retrieved by TomoSAR. In particular, the retrieved rich scatterer information using meter-resolution SAR images enables us to generate point clouds of the illuminated area in urban environment with a density comparable to LiDAR (1 million/km(exp 2)/stack). In this paper we demonstrate the next steps after TomoSAR retrieval: 1) fusion of descending and ascending point clouds, 2) estimation of building models under consideration of the specific statistical properties of TomoSAR retrievals. Examples using TerraSAR-X high resolution spotlight data stacks will be presented.
Letter. Akaogiite: An ultra-dense polymorph of TiO2 with the baddeleyite-type structure, in shocked garnet gneiss from the Ries Crater, Germany

Abstract Akaogiite, an ultra-dense polymorph of TiO2 was encountered in heavily shocked garnet-cordieritesillimanite gneiss in the Suevite breccia of the Ries meteorite impact crater in Germany. The chemical formula of akaogiite is TiO2, containing (wt%) TiO2 97.6-97.7; Nb2O5 0.15-0.20, and FeO 0.11-0.14. The empirical formula is: Ti0.998Fe0. 002Nb0.001O2. Akaogiite is optically distinguishable from rutile only in reflected light microscopy, through its slightly higher brightness and the intense royal blue color of its internal reflections in crossed nicols. The mineral grains consist of countless randomly oriented submicrometer particles. In situ micro-beam X-ray diffraction established akaogiite to be monoclinic with the baddeleyite-type structure. Cell parameters are a = 4.606(2) Å, b = 4.896(3) Å, c = 4.933(3) Å, and β = 99.17(6)°; space group P21/c; molar volume = 16.82(2) cm3/mol; density = 4.72 g/cm3. Akaogiite coexists in the shocked gneiss with graphite-diamond phase transition assemblage, a second dense TiO2 polymorph with the scrutinyite-type structure (TiO2-II), liquidus idiomorphic jadeite inclusions in melt pockets in garnet, and a new FeTiO3-polymorph with the Li-niobate structure. The high-pressure assemblage constrains the equilibrium peak-shock pressure to be ≤22 GPa and a post-shock temperature <500 °C, thus correcting previous estimates. The name was approved by the Commission on New Minerals, Nomenclature and Classification of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA2007-058). The name is for Masaki Akaogi, Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Gakushuin University in Tokyo, Japan.
The Importance of Managing Modifiable Comorbidities in People with Multiple Sclerosis: A Narrative Review

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, inflammatory, degenerative demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) of unknown etiology that affects individuals in their early adulthood. In the last decade, life expectancy for people with MS (PwMS) has almost equaled that of the general population. This demographic shift necessitates a heightened awareness of comorbidities, especially the ones that can be prevented and modified, that can significantly impact disease progression and management. Vascular comorbidities are of particular interest as they are mostly modifiable health states, along with voluntary behaviors, such as smoking and alcohol consumption, commonly observed among individuals with MS. Vascular risk factors have also been implicated in the etiology of cerebral small vessel disease. Furthermore, differentiating between vascular and MS lesion load poses a significant challenge due to overlapping clinical and radiological features. This review describes the current evidence regarding the range of preventable and modifiable comorbidities and risk factors and their implications for PwMS.
Plights of Tenured Teachers in Integrating Technology in Classroom Instruction - A Phenomenological Inquiry

Technology integration for tenured teachers improves and enhances their skills in the teaching process. The study aims to explore the lived experiences, coping mechanism, and insights of tenured teachers in integrating technology. The researcher collected data from 17 Araling Panlipunan Tenured Teachers in high school from the Division of Tagum City using purposive sampling. This study employed a phenomenological approach and utilized an interview guide for in-depth interview and focus group discussion. The results of the study were analyzed using thematic analysis. In the lived experiences of tenured teachers, there are three emerging themes; facing challenges brought by ICT innovations; experiencing lack of know-how and interest; experiencing difficulty in access to resources and learning materials. Further, on tenured teachers coping mechanism there are also three themes; consultation with peers, class discovery and experiential learning; self-determination and perseverance. Lastly, on the insights of tenured teachers, three themes emerged; improving skills and adapting to change, best to share and learn from peers; never lose hope and determination. Results revealed that it is a challenge for tenured teachers to innovate strategies due to lack of know-how and difficulty or limited access to technology infrastructures. However, teachers were able to overcome these challenges through peer support, positive attitude and discovering classroom strategies which promotes experiential learning. Furthermore, tenured teachers see technology integration valuable since it improves their skills and adaptability to the technological changes and enable them to cope and never lose hope despite their tenure. This implies that on-going professional development plays a relevant role in improving tenured teachers’ skills and delivery of classroom instruction with technology integration.
Antecedents of individuals’ participation in the community of practice

The aim of this study is to explore the impact of outcome expectations on individuals’ participation in the community of practice. It examines the impact of expected association, expected contribution and expected support on individuals’ participation in community of practice. Data collected through questionnaire from 216 participants working in healthcare sector in Saudi Arabia to test the research hypotheses. The results of this study indicate that expected association and expected support have significant positive impact on individuals’ participation in community of practice. Whereas, expect contribution found to have a negative impact on individuals’ participation in community of practice. This research offer empirical evidence on the impact of individual factors such as outcome expectations on the involvement of individuals in the community of practice in their organizations. Moreover, the results shed new light on the impact of the contextual factors that may diminish the impact of outcome expectations factors such as job localization.

The objective was to contribute knowledge that could lead to more informed service, teaching, support, administration, and leadership on the Black campus and in the university. Several themes were discovered in the analysis, resulting in the identification of key challenges faced by the Black campus, the solutions respondents perceived as promising, and the supports they benefit.
A comparison of postglacial arcellacean (“Thecamoebian”) and pollen succession in Atlantic Canada, illustrating the potential of arcellaceans for paleoclimatic reconstruction

Cores dating back to deglaciation were taken from three lakes in Atlantic Canada and analyzed for arcellaceans and pollen. Paleotemperatures and paleo-precipitation were calculated from the pollen data using transfer functions. A sudden warming is recorded by the pollen around 10,000 years B.P., followed by a general warming to the mid Holocene Hypsithermal, then by a decrease in temperature and increase in effective precipitation to the present. The three lakes, two in western Newfoundland and one in eastern Nova Scotia, contain similar late glacial (13-10 ka), early Holocene (10-8 ka), mid Holocene (8-4 ka), and late Holocene (4-0 ka) arcellacean assemblages. Immediately following retreat of the ice sheets, Centropyxis aculeata, Centropyxis constricta, Difflugia oblonga, Difflugia urceolata, and Difflugia corona were common. The latter part of the late glacial is characterized by sparse assemblages dominated by C. aculeata. The arcellacean record thus suggests a climatic reversal in Atlantic Canada between 11,500 and 10,000 years B.P., analogous to the Younger Dryas, although this is not recorded by the pollen. Species diversity increased sharply at the beginning of the Holocene, and D. oblonga is the dominant taxon in early Holocene sediments. Difflugia oblonga remained common through the mid Holocene, but percentages of C. aculeata were very low, and Pontigulasia compressa and Difflugia bacillifera peaked in abundance during the Hypsithermal. The late Holocene is characterized by a resurgence in C. aculeata at the expense of other taxa. The increase in Heleopera sphagni and Nebella collaris since 5,000 years B.P. at the two sites in southwestern Newfoundland reflects paludification in response to increased precipitation since the Hypsithermal. Because the changes in arcellacean assemblages are regionally synchronous in all three lakes and coincide with climatically driven vegetational successions indicated by the pollen record, arcellaceans appear to respond to climatic change, and thus may be useful paleoecological and paleolimnological indicators. With their quicker generation time, these protists may be better suited than pollen to recording short-lived phenomena, like the mid-Holocene Hypsithermal and the Younger Dryas reversal.
Can decision intelligence help organizations retain employees? Serial multiple mediation of job characteristics and meaningful work

Abstract New artificial intelligence (AI) powered technologies such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT model, intelligent decision support systems, and autonomous robots are transforming decision making leading to the increased prevalence of decision intelligence in organizations. This paper explores the relationship between decision intelligence, job characteristics, meaningful work, and employees’ intentions to leave the organization or turnover intentions. The research model is based on robust theoretical foundations and was tested with data collected from a survey on Prolific. The study utilizes PLS SEM (partial least squares structural equation modeling) method to test the hypotheses. Three categories of model fit indices are used to assess the final model. The results interpreted from direct effects revealed a positive relationship between decision intelligence and intention to leave. Nevertheless, the mediation analysis within the path model demonstrated that this relationship transformed into a negative one when mediated by job characteristics and meaningful work. In its conclusion, the paper discusses research findings, addresses limitations, and underscores contributions, thus paving the path for integrating decision intelligence into academic literature and industry practices.
The Time-Use Agency Scale: Development and Validation of a Measure for Ghana and Beyond

Global health and development interventions often are predicated on the reallocation of women's time for the achievement of program objectives; yet research and programs have paid limited attention to women's preferences for and agency over their time use. This study aims to develop and validate an instrument to measure time-use agency. It follows a sequenced approach involving qualitative and quantitative research, with exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and assessment of concurrent validity. The authors conducted surveys with women and men within an impact assessment of a livelihoods program being implemented across rural districts in Ghana. Results indicate a three-factor model with subscales for intrinsic time-use agency, voice related to time use, and decision making related to time use, which were each positively correlated with an item on satisfaction with time use. This time-use agency scale should be validated widely and used within global health and development programs. HIGHLIGHTS In Ghana, time poverty, often a proxy for disempowerment, does not alone provide a full picture of women's quality of time use. Time-use agency is a more direct measure of exercising choice over the allocation of one's time. Time-use agency is a necessary component of empowerment processes. A survey instrument that measures time-use agency should be used alongside customary time-use surveys.
Error Bounds for Decoding Piecewise Constant Nanopore Signals in DNA Storage

Nanopore sequencing enables reading strings of A,C,G,T nucleotides in DNA strands by pulling them into nanopores with the help of motor proteins. Due to the discrete stepping of motor proteins, the signals produced by a DNA sequence tend to be piecewise-constant expansions of some underlying real-valued sequence. In this paper, we assume that every k-nucleotide sequence corresponds to a real-valued codeword of length $k$, and model the nanopore channel as a noisy duplication channel that stretches every sample of a codeword using a geometric distribution, and then adds Gaussian noise. We show that for this channel, a simpler variant of the dynamic time warping (DTW) algorithm performs maximum likelihood decoding. Next, we devise an $O(k^{2})$- algorithm for bounding the pairwise error probability between two codewords of length $k$. Finally, we use Scrappie to design codebooks with a storage efficiency of 1 bit per nucleotide and demonstrate using error simulations the accuracy of the calculated error bounds.
