‘I Enjoy Having Someone to Rant to, I Feel Like Someone is Listening to Me’: Exploring Emotion in the Use of Qualitative, Longitudinal Diary-Based Methods

Emotions and the emotional labour of researchers have been increasingly recognised in social science disciplines, with many researchers providing personal and reflexive accounts. Such debates are less well recognised in health-related disciplines, particularly public health, who remain at earlier stages of valuing and understanding qualitative research. Drawing on personal experiences and methodological reflections gathered from a qualitative study, undertaken with young people over the course of 16 months during the COVID-19 pandemic in England, UK, the aim of this article is to offer further insight into the impact of researcher emotion, by specifically focussing on longitudinal, diary-based methods. My reflections are framed as three overlapping and intersecting themes. First, that qualitative longitudinal methods (and diary studies in particular) have enormous potential to curate rich emotional narratives. Second, that despite these positives, there are tensions or conflicting dynamics in using a method which helps to explore young people’s emotions but also involves emotional labour for the researcher. Third, that greater attention should be paid to ensuring ethical care for researchers, particularly those engaging with qualitative longitudinal and/or creative methods. Such strategies should not solely rely on self-care and must be considered at institutional or funding body level. To this end, my personal experiences and reflections, as well as those from previous offerings, are used here to underpin a framework for researchers or research teams embarking upon novel qualitative longitudinal methods: 1. Do not underestimate emotional burden. 2. Ensure meaningful debriefing is available. 3. Establish boundaries. 4. Make space for emotion throughout fieldwork as well as during analysis and writing (‘entering and exiting the field’).
Enhanced Production of (R)-3-Hydroxybutyrate Oligomers by Coexpression of Molecular Chaperones in Recombinant Escherichia coli Harboring a Polyhydroxyalkanoate Synthase Derived from Bacillus cereus YB-4

The biodegradable polyester poly-(R)-3-hydroxybutyrate [P(3HB)] is synthesized by a polymerizing enzyme called polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthase and accumulates in a wide variety of bacterial cells. Recently, we demonstrated the secretory production of a (R)-3HB oligomer (3HBO), a low-molecular-weight P(3HB), by using recombinant Escherichia coli expressing PHA synthases. The 3HBO has potential value as an antibacterial substance and as a building block for various polymers. In this study, to construct an efficient 3HBO production system, the coexpression of molecular chaperones and a PHA synthase derived from Bacillus cereus YB-4 (PhaRCYB4) was examined. First, genes encoding enzymes related to 3HBO biosynthesis (phaRCYB4, phaA and phaB derived from Ralstonia eutropha H16) and two types of molecular chaperones (groEL, groES, and tig) were introduced into the E. coli strains BW25113 and BW25113ΔadhE. As a result, coexpression of the chaperones promoted the enzyme activity of PHA synthase (approximately 2–3-fold) and 3HBO production (approximately 2-fold). The expression assay of each chaperone and PHA synthase subunit (PhaRYB4 and PhaCYB4) indicated that the combination of the two chaperone systems (GroEL-GroES and TF) supported the folding of PhaRYB4 and PhaCYB4. These results suggest that the utilization of chaperone proteins is a valuable approach to enhance the formation of active PHA synthase and the productivity of 3HBO.

Devaluations, Deposit Dollarization, and Household Heterogeneity

We study the aggregate and re-distributive effects of currency devaluations in a small open economy heterogeneous households model with leverage-constrained banks. Our framework captures three stylized facts about liability dollarization in emerging economies: i) banks and firms borrow in foreign currency; ii) households save in dollar-denominated local bank deposits; and iii) such deposits are mainly held by wealthier households. The resulting currency mismatch causes an erosion of banks' net worth during a devaluation, depressing credit supply. The ensuing macroeconomic downturn is amplified by a strong reduction of consumption among poorer households in response to rising borrowing costs and falling labor income. Richer households are partially insured, as they are holding a larger share of their wealth in foreign currency denominated assets. We show that a larger currency hedging by wealthier households deepens the recession and amplifies the negative spillovers for poorer agents. When deposit dollarization is high, welfare gains can arise if monetary policy dampens a depreciation.
Factors That Influence The Intention of The Millennial Community to do Waqf With a Modification of Theory Planned Behavior Approach

This research aims to analyze the influence of variables knowledge, attitudes, religious commitment, subjective norm, and the use of ICT Technology significantly influence behavior through the intention of the millennial generation in waqf in Jabodetabek. The methodology used in this study is the Structural Equation Model with the variables of knowledge, attitudes, religious commitment, subjective norms, and ICT technology as independent variables; intention as moderating variable, and waqf behavior as the dependent variable. The primary data of this study was obtained through a questionnaire survey to 290 respondents obtained through purposive random sampling from the millennial generation aged 21-40 years who live in Greater Jakarta. Then the data was analyzed using SPSS and AMOS software. Based on the results of this study, it was learned that the variable of knowledge does not affect the behavior of waqf through the intention of the millennial generation. In contrast, the variables of attitude, commitment, subjective norms, and the use of ICT technology had a positive and significant effect on waqf behavior through the intention of the millennial generation. This shows that the millennial generation, although their knowledge does not affect behavior, attitudes, commitment, subjective norms, and the use of ICT technology, have a positive and significant effect on waqf behavior results of this study indicate that the variables attitudes, religious commitment, subjective norm, and the use of ICT Technology significantly influence behavior through the intention of the millennial generation in waqf in Jabodetabek. At the same time, knowledge does not affect that behavior. This study implies that measuring consumer behavior should be equipped with additional indicators, namely intention, to analyze the behavior based on external factors and spiritual and social aspects.
Teaching mobile Web development: An iPhone application design workshop at the University of Illinois Undergraduate Library

July/August 2012 394 The digital era, a time of massive unmediated access to information, has brought with it profound changes in the ways we work and live. With these changes, instructional offerings of libraries must shift if they are to remain a relevant and necessary component of information centers. A motivating factor for implementing an iPhone app design workshop stems from observations of the highly popular information environments of the 21st-century student. The mobile landscape of information access is inclusive of a number of mobile-networked devices—one of the most popular platforms is the iOS environment from Apple. While not every student has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, an important feature of the digital landscape is the manner in which students create and share with digital tools. Research in digital media among youth offers compelling evidence that undergraduate students value editing, creating, and sharing across many platforms. In an effort to support the desire among students to customize (and make relevant) their digital environments, the staff of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Undergraduate Library planned for a mobile app workshop that would be responsive to all skill levels. Librarians and two interns from the Unde rg r adua t e Library designed and implemented two rounds of labbased workshops for mobile applications running on Apple’s iOS software. Project planning included a workshop for students and an additional workshop for staff. The first round occurred in the summer semester of 2011. The second round of workshops were held in December 2011 and were re-worked for basic and advanced levels, incorporating additional templates in the iOS developer environment (see image 1).

Social media influencer and brand loyalty on generation Z: the mediating effect of purchase intention

Influencer marketing has become a new method of promoting a product or brand. The marketers believe that implementing influencer marketing appropriately may form a positive customer view of a product or brand so it can bring customers loyalty on the brand. This study aims to investigate the effect of influencers on brand loyalty of Generation Z with purchase intention as a mediating variable. Generation Z is a generation that is very close to technology even most of their life is spent to playing with social media. By expecting a marketing strategy that is close and easily accessible to generation Z, can create purchase intentions and loyalty at lower cost. The population is the Instagram users in Indonesia. Purposive sampling was used in this study by taking 200 samples. This research was conducted using path analysis and Sobel test to see the indirect effect. Before the path analysis is carried out, the reliability, validity and classical assumption tests are carried out first to see if the data obtained is appropriate for further analysis. The result show that social media influencers can influence generation Z brand loyalty and purchase intentions are able to mediate social media influencers and generation Z brand loyalty.
Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) Act in Uttarakhand and its Impact on Agribusiness

[Lack of adequate marketing facilities in the agricultural sector has remained one of the most talked about bottlenecks in the efforts for wellbeing of the agriculture dependent population in the newly formed state of Uttarakhand. Following the guidelines of the model national Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) Act of 2003, Uttarakhand also adopted the Act in the year 2011 with a hope that the Act would streamline the marketing possibilities for farmers and the sector would flourish with new investments pouring in through increased private participation. The present article, with an attempt to review the performance of the Act in the state of Uttarakhand, highlights that not only the Act has failed in improving the marketing opportunities for the agricultural sector, it has in reality squeezed the market for the common producers due to inordinate delays in institutionalizing the Act and other factors related to governance of the Act]
Investigation about Rotor-stator Interaction with an Adjustable Leaned Vane Blade

Abstract This paper focuses on the noise reduction benefits of stator lean effect for rotor-stator interaction. The compressor with 3 blade lean angle of downstream stator was investigated by experimental and numerical study. The noise spectra of the acoustic measurement were obtained by the outside noise test. And the tone noise was extracted from the total noise sound pressure level (SPL). The unsteady loading of the stators' blade surface were also obtained. The pressure fluctuation amplitude was extracted from the numerical study, and the phase distribution of the wake presented the detail distribution of the wake phase. The numerical study shows that lean positive has less unsteady loading than negative, and lean positive case has the maximum phase lag.
Apatite formation on electrochemically modified surface of hafnium metal in simulated body environment

ABSTRACT Biomedical application of Hf for hard tissue repair may be expanded if it can be imparted with bone-bonding ability. Apatite formation in the body is required for artificial materials to bond to bone. We have shown that apatite can form on NaOH- and heat-treated Hf in simulated body fluid, although the degree of apatite formation is not high. In this study, we investigated apatite formation on surface-modified Hf metal in simulated body fluid. Hf substrates were soaked in NH4F solution or electrochemically polarized in H2SO4 or NH4F solution, followed by heating at 600°C. The sample soaked or cathodically polarized in NH4F solution had porous structure, and the anodically polarized sample had nanotube aggregates on its surface. F was incorporated into the sample polarized in NH4F solution, but not the sample merely soaked in the solution. NH4F was more effective than H2SO4 in facilitating apatite formation. Remarkably, the sample soaked in NH4F solution had the highest apatite-forming ability. Its porous structure was considered to play a dominant role in apatite formation. Furthermore, there was little correlation between surface energy and apatite formation. Notably, NH4F treatment is more effective than the previously reported NaOH and heat treatments in promoting apatite formation.
Management of Severe and Complicated Malaria in Adults in the Emergency Department of the Regional Hospital of Maradi (Niger)

Introduction: In sub-Saharan Africa malaria is the 1st cause of consultation and hospitalization and the 2nd cause of death in health centres. Maradi region is one of the most malaria-endemic areas with periods of high prevalence, particularly during the rainy season, due to the heavy rainfall that occurs between May and October. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted in the emergency department of the Regional Hospital Centre of Maradi from August 1st to August 31st, 2017. Results: 104 patients were admitted to the adult emergency department for severe malaria out of 305 admissions to the centre, i.e., a prevalence of 34.1%. Our sample was composed of 53.84% men (n=56). The average age of our patients was 38.6 years with extremes ranging from 15 to 90 years. Most of the patients had no comorbidity (80.76% of cases). Thick blood drop was used for diagnosis in 93.25% of cases (n=97). The main clinical manifestations were: neurological forms (34, 61% n=36), severe anemia (31, 73% n=33). Conclusion: This study shows that malaria is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in Niger because of its prevalence, severity and morbidity.
ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF SOME ECOLOGICAL FACTORS ON UDDER HEALTH BY USING NONLINEAR REGRESSION MODELS

Mastitis is an important udder disease causing loss of yield in dairy cattle farming and environmental factors that play a significant role in the emergence of the disease. Factors, such as infectious diseases, live weight, cattle breed, nutritional status, environment and milking hygiene, which are thought to affect the presence of mastitis disease were discussed in the study. The data of the study was obtained randomly from the records of veterinarians and small and medium-sized enterprises operating in the two provinces of Turkey. Based on these results, we found that the environment and milking hygiene, and adequate and balanced nutrition would lead to a 6.2%, 11.3%, and 94.9% lower risk on mastitis, respectively. Of the other hand, it was determined that cattle with various symptoms of infectious diseases had a 4.3 times greater risk of mastitis than healthy cattle. It was concluded that taking into account the impact rates of factors affecting the risk of mastitis of enterprises, it can contribute to the prevention of milk yield losses.
Estimating an Equity Yield to Maturity: Deficiencies of the Implied Cost of Capital (ICC) and an Alternative

This paper involves a critique of the Implied Cost of Capital (ICC) that leads to an alternative measure which, like the ICC, is extracted from accounting data. The critique deals with how the ICC handles the accounting involved. First, the ICC fails an accounting consistency condition. Second, expected earnings growth conveys risk and return, but this is not recognized when a growth rate is inserted in the reverse engineering exercise. Empirical tests so confirm. An alternative accounting-based measure accommodates these points and validates on criteria indicating risk and return. The resulting measure is a yield to maturity for equities, much like that for a bond.
Understanding the online relationship between politicians and citizens. A study on the user engagement of politicians’ Facebook posts in election and routine periods

ABSTRACT Social media have offered politicians a way to reach a broader audience and citizens a dynamic way to respond and interact with politicians’ communication. In this study we focus on how two important dimensions of the social media messages of politicians impact different types of user engagement: the distinction between political and private posts and the degree of emotionality of the post. Additionally, we compare the amount and types of interaction between routine periods and election periods. Supported by automatic data gathering and coding we analyze all Facebook posts of 124 Belgian politicians for a period of more than two years (N = 34,408). Our results indicate that different types of Facebook posts lead to different types of user engagement. Private posts generate more reactions, while political posts are more often shared and commented on. Additionally, Facebook posts with positive, and, negative emotional language garner more interaction than those with less emotionality. Finally, during election campaigns both politicians and citizens are more active. There is a proliferation of the amount of Facebook messages that politicians post, and these messages also score higher on engagement.
Evidence for similar conceptual progress across diverse cultures in children’s understanding of emotion

Research with adults has increasingly moved beyond the focus on a small set of allegedly basic emotions, each associated with a signature facial expression. That expansion has been accompanied by a greater emphasis on the potential variability of emotion concepts across different cultural settings. In this conceptual review of children’s understanding of emotion, we argue that it is also important in developmental research to look beyond the small set of emotions associated with distinctive facial expressions. At the same time, we caution against any premature rejection of a universalist approach to children’s understanding of emotion. We review three different lines of evidence in support of this stance: (1) children’s ability to appropriately cite situational elicitors for emotions beyond the basic set; (2) their developing understanding of the relations between emotions and other mental processes; and (3) their realization that a person’s facially expressed emotion may not indicate their felt emotion. In each of these three domains, we target studies that have included children from a variety of cultures to assess how far they respond similarly or differently. We conclude that there is robust evidence for similar conceptual progress in children’s understanding of emotion across a range of cultural settings.
Foot Morphological Difference between Habitually Unshod Runners and Shod Runners through Inverse Modelling

With the increasing popularity of barefoot running, the difference of foot morphology between habitually unshod runners and shod runners is becoming one concern leading to running injuries. The purpose of this study was to analyze the foot skeletal morphological characteristics between habitually unshod runner and shod runner through inverse modelling. A total of eight subjects, including four habitually unshod runners and four habitually shod runners participated in the Computed Tomography (CT) foot scanning test and Mimics was utilized to rebuild foot model and the Inter-Metatarsal Angle (IMA), Metatarsal-Phalangeal Angle (MPA), and Inter-Phalangeal Distance (IPD) were measured to illustrate the morphology difference. The results showed that the Inter-Phalangeal Distance and Inter-Metatarsal Angle of unshod runners were obviously bigger than those of habitually shod feet. And the difference of Inter-Metatarsal Angle between unshod runner and shod runner was also distinct. Not only can this finding be proven of foot morphology variations, but also it can confirm the development of nature foot from unshod running to shod running.
Philophthalmus hechingeri n. sp. (Digenea: Philophthalmidae), a Human-Infecting Eye Fluke from the Asian Mud Snail, Batillaria attramentaria

ABSTRACT Two cases of human philophthalmosis have been reported in Japan. Gravid flukes removed from the eyes of the patients were broken, but their morphological characteristics suggest that an unknown species of the genus Philophthalmus is involved as a pathogen for humans. The mitochondrial DNA barcode of the human eye fluke enabled us to discover its larval stage from the Japanese mud snail, Batillaria attramentaria. The discovered cercaria had previously been temporarily described as “Philophthalmid sp. I. ” In this study, we examined the infection status of B. attramentaria with Philophthalmid sp. I found on a muddy seashore of the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, and the resulting metacercariae were experimentally administered to Japanese quails to develop them into the gravid adult stage. The complete specimens of the adult and larval stages allowed us to describe a new species. Based on morphological and molecular analyses, Philophthalmus hechingeri n. sp. is proposed for the human-infecting eye fluke in Japan. The natural definitive hosts of the new species are unknown. However, the habitat of B. attramentaria suggests that shorebirds (seagulls, sandpipers, and plovers) might be the possible candidates.
