Pervasive Uncertainty under Threat: Mental Health Disorders and Experiences of Uncertainty for Correctional Workers

Exposure to potentially psychologically traumatic events for correctional workers is high. However, the mechanisms driving the high prevalence are relatively unexplained. Using data from a cross-sectional, online survey of correctional service workers (n = 845) in Ontario, Canada, collected in 2017–2018, we assess the prevalence of mental disorders with a specific focus on uncertainty in the workplace and between correctional roles. We find that correctional officers, institutional governance, and probation/parole officers appear most at risk of mental disorders (prevalence of any mental disorder was 56.9%, 60.3%, and 59.2%, respectively). We argue slightly lower prevalence among institutional wellness, training, and administrative staff may result in part from their more predictable work environment, where they have more control. The results reaffirm a need for evidence-based proactive mental health activities, knowledge translation, and treatment and a need to explore how authority without control (i.e., unpredictability at work) can inform employee mental health.
Modernizing Retailers in an Emerging Market: Investigating Externally Focused and Internally Focused Approaches

This article studies the impact of business modernization on the sales performance of traditional retailers in an emerging market. The authors define modernization as the adoption of physical structures and tangible practices of organized retail chains (e.g., exterior signage with store name and logo, a database to record product-level information). To address this research question, they implement a randomized field experiment in Mexico City with 1,148 retailers. The sample is randomized as follows: 385 firms are externally modernized in ways that are visible to customers, 383 firms are internally modernized in ways that are not visible to customers, and 380 firms form a control group. The authors find a significant and persistent main effect of modernization on sales. Firms in both treatment groups increase monthly sales by 15%–19% 24 months after study recruitment. In terms of novel mechanism evidence, externally modernized firms improve their store-level branding, while internally modernized firms strengthen their product management. This article also provides an exploratory analysis to guide policy makers, managerial stakeholders, and retailers on how to modernize for the highest returns. This analysis suggests that it is most useful to modernize a firm’s exterior appearance, customer engagement methods, demand analysis, and stock-ordering processes. Finally, the largest improvements come from the initial few modernizing changes, after which returns are diminishing.
Atomistic simulations of dopamine diffusion dynamics on a pristine graphene surface.

Carbon microelectrodes enable in vivo detection of neurotransmitters, and new electrodes aim to optimize the carbon surface. However, atomistic detail on the diffusion and orientation of neurotransmitters near these surfaces is lacking. Here, we employ molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the surface diffusion of dopamine (DA), its oxidation product dopamine-o-quinone (DOQ), and their protonated forms on the pristine basal plane of flat graphene. We find that all DA species rapidly adsorb to the surface and remain adsorbed, even without a holding potential or graphene surface defects. We also find that the diffusivities of the adsorbed and the fully solvated DA are similar and that the protonated species diffuse more slowly on the surface than their corresponding neutral forms, while the oxidized species diffuse more rapidly. Structurally, we find that the underlying graphene lattice has little influence over the molecular adsorbate's lateral position, and the vertical placement of the amine group on dopamine is highly dependent upon its charge. Finally, we find that solvation has a large effect on surface diffusivities. These first results from molecular dynamics simulations of dopamine at the aqueous-graphene interface show that dopamine diffuses rapidly on the surface, even without an applied potential, and provide a basis for future simulations of neurotransmitter structure and dynamics on advanced carbon materials electrodes.
Application of Project-Based Learning Through a STEM Approach to Improve Learning Outcomes During a Pandemic

Research has been conducted on applying project-based learning (PjBL) through the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) approach during the pandemic. Tests were given to 30 first-year students conducted by Distance Learning (DL). The research method used a pre-post experimental one-group design. The results showed a minimum pretest score of 50 and a maximum value of 70. After being treated, the minimum posttest result was 75, and the maximum result was 90. There was a significant difference of 60 for the average pretest and posttest from the average pretest and posttest. The average posttest is 79.
Preface and Acknowledgements

More than three years have passed since approximately one thousand scholars, activists, decision makers, and influencers met at the conference “An End to Antisemitism! ” in February 2018, in Vienna. The conference was jointly organized by the European Jewish Congress, New York University, Tel Aviv University, and the University of Vienna to study antisemitism with an unprecedented interdisciplinary breadth and historical depth. Over 150 presenters from all over the world engaged with all forms of antisemitism from a variety of perspectives. The present series, An End to Antisemitism! , documents the conference’s output and research results from various fields. Leading experts in religious studies, history, political studies, social sciences, philosophy, psychology, pedagogy, and cultural studies shed light on antisemitic traditions from their respective viewpoints. Together, they help to shape a discourse of understanding, knowing, and recognizing various forms of antisemitism in order to confront and combat them. Unfortunately, today, antisemitism is still on the rise. The Covid-19 pandemic has not only led to a spiking high rate of deaths among all nations of the world. Also, it has given rise to a multitude of conspiracy theories surrounding various topics. Antisemitism is often an integral part of those conspiracy theories, regardless of their origin. In the previous volumes of our series, researchers from a variety of scholarly and scientific fields have demonstrated how antisemitism’s versatile nature and constant transformation throughout history has contributed to its unfathomable success. Sadly, this tradition continues even today. One of the aims of the conference “An End to Antisemitism! ” was, therefore, to create concrete policy recommendations regarding how to effectively combat antisemitism. These have been collected and published in a separate Catalogue of Policies,1 a document of practical impact. They also form one of the bases of the first volume of the present series.2 All subsequent volumes are addressed to an academic audience. They document the research leading to these policy recommendations. The present volume concludes the series An End to Antisemitism! It brings together contributions from fields of the social sciences, including philosophy, ethics, psychology, and pedagogy. Together, they form an empirical underpin-
Moral and epistemic evaluations: A unified treatment

A rich tradition in metaethics seeks to explain the meaning of moral language in terms of desire-like attitudes. This approach can be implemented in di erent ways. On a contextualist implementation, moral discourse describes the desire-like attitudes of some agent(s), for example, the speaker or the speaker’s community. On an expressivist implementation, moral discourse does not describe desire-like attitudes; it expresses them. On a relativist implementation, the truth-value of a moral assertion at a context of assessment depends on the desire-like attitudes of the assessor—that is, someone assessing the utterance for truth or falsity. Despite these di erences, all such “attitudinal metaethics” are bound by a common thread: they analyze moral discourse in terms of conative states. Attitudinal metaethicists sometimes propose extending their approach to other varieties of normative discourse, including epistemic discourse.1 A generalized attitudinal semantics along these lines carries obvious attractions. But it also faces important challenges. An initial challenge concerns how to even spell out a generalized attitudinal semantics. While much ink has been spilled in pursuit of a precise attitudinal semantics for moral discourse, the extension to other fragments of normative language has not received a comparable degree of attention. Second, and more worrisome, some philosophers have argued that there are principled obstacles to the very idea of a generalized attitudinal semantics. For example, Boult and Köhler 2020 argue that a generalized attitudinal semantics is under-motivated, since the primary arguments for an attitudinal metaethics do not carry over to the epistemic domain. And Wodak 2017 argues that a generalized attitudinal semantics over-predicts disagreements across normative domains. These obstacles can be used to frame a dilemma for any attempt to generalize an attitudinal semantics. On the one hand, generalizers need to show that there are su cient commonalities between di erent normative domains to warrant a uni ed treatment. On the other hand, generalizers had better not erase the obvious di erences between di erent avors of normative judgment.
Emotional Intelligence Role among Nurse Managers; Its Relation to Conflict Resolution Management

Nursing is an emotionally charged profession. The competence to manage emotions and interpersonal conflict effectively is essential for nurse managers. So, nurse managers need advanced skills to solve conflicts. The purpose of this study was to assess emotional intelligence role among nurse managers and its relation to conflict management resolution. The design of this study was a descriptive correlational research design. A simple random sample of 30 nursing managers and 281 staff nurses were selected to carry out this study. This study was conducted at Menoufia University Hospital at Shebin El – Kom Menoufia Governorate. Three Instruments were used for data gathering: Job conflict questionnaire, Rahim organizational conflict questionnaire and emotional intelligence questionnaire. The results of this study indicated that the main findings of this study revealed that the most common causes of conflict were related to scarcity of resources and over work load. The most common conflict management strategies that the nurse managers use were collaborating (14.3±1.9) and compromising strategy (16.5±3.7). Moreover, the total level of nurse managers' emotional intelligence was high as reported by their staff nurses. Also, there was a positive correlation between nurse mangers emotional intelligence role and their conflict management resolution. Conclusion; this study concluded that there was a positive correlation between nurse mangers emotional intelligence role and their conflict management strategies. This means that when the level of nurse mangers emotional intelligence was high their level of conflict management was high. Recommendation; Future researches are recommended to replicate the study on a larger sample size in different health care setting.
In-vitro bioefficacy of fungal antagonists against root rot of Pea caused by Rhizoctonia solani (Kuhn)

In-vitro effectiveness of various antagonistic fungi namely Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Trichoderma koningii, T. atroviride, and T. harzianum were evaluated against Rhizoctonia solani by dual culture technique on potato dextrose agar. According to the observation recorded after 5 days, all the treatments were found to be superior over control (R. solani), but among all treatments A. niger was found to the most effective antagonist, with highest radial growth inhibition of the pathogen (77.01 percent), followed by A. flavus, T. harzianum and T. koningii i.e., 66.23, 64.42 and 62.20 percent. While as, T. atroviride was found to be the least effective one with minimum growth inhibition i.e., 42.21 percent. Whereas, at the same time control (R. solani) showed 100 percent radial growth and covered the whole Petri Plate within 5 days. All the bio-control agents were significantly effective to inhibit the sclerotia formation and development, except T. atroviride in which formation of sclerotia was recorded, while in all other treatments complete inhibition of sclerotia formation was recorded after 10 days of incubation.
Etiology and Pathogenesis of Burn Anemia. The Role of the Blood Transfusion in the Treatment of Patients with Burns

The presented data of domestic and foreign literature reveal the etiology and pathogenesis of burn anemia caused by the development of systemic inflammatory response (SIR) and blood loss. Manifestations of SIR are characterized by a decrease in the areas of erythropoiesis, inadequate reaction to endogenous and exogenous erythropoietin, a decrease in serum iron, the death of erythrocytes as a result of endogenous intoxication, the development of DIC syndrome, thermal and non-immune hemolysis of erythrocytes, and severe metabolic disturbances. Developing burn anemia progresses as a result of hemorrhage with multiple dressings and operations, as well as bleeding in patients with erosive and ulcerative lesions of the gastrointestinal tract. Domestic and foreign experience with blood transfusions in the past century indicates the need for blood transfusions during the development of moderate severity of anemia (hemoglobin less than 90 g/l), burn patients, which will increase the effectiveness of treatment, reduce the time of hospital
Spermatozoa in the Demanian system of free-living marine nematode Admirandus multicavus (Enoplida: Oncholaimidae)

: The process of insemination and fertilization in the nematode family Oncholaimidae is of interest because females of many species have extremely unusual sperm storage organ called “Demanian system”. The mature spermatozoa from the main duct of the Demanian system of the free-living marine nematode Admirandus multicavus (Enoplida: Oncholaimidae) were studied by the transmission electron microscopy. The main duct is an epithelial tube with thick basal lamina. The dilated part of the duct is occupied by cluster of densely packed spermatozoa 7–8 µm in size, while the narrow part contains occasional strongly elongated sperm cells. The centre of spermatozoa is occupied by a nucleus with poorly condensed chromatin surrounded by a distinct nuclear envelope, the presence of which confirms isolation of enoplids from all other clades of nematodes. The prevalent components of sperm cytoplasm are ‘membranous organelles’ (MO) which resemble strongly elongated thread-like osmiophilic cisternae densely packed into bundles. Small numerous mitochondria are interspersed between bundles of MOs. Spermatozoa form pseudopods that reflect putative amoeboid cell motility. Amorphous nucleus, thread-like MOs, and numerous minute mitochondria are likely to represent preadaptation to squeezing through the narrow tubular communications of the Demanian system. Present observations of A. multicavus support basic characters of the oncholaimid sperm pattern previously described in another oncholaimid
Transient and steady state analysis of M/M^([b])/1 queue with second optional service

ABSTRACT In this paper, the transient and steady state of a single server batch service queueing system with second optional service is analyzed. All incoming units receive essential service, once the essential service is completed, the units may opt the optional service. The study applies the probability generating function, Rouche’s theorem, and Laplace transform techniques to obtain the transient state probabilities. The stationary probabilities are obtained by using the Tauberian property in the Laplace transform expressions. This study contributes to filling the gap on investigation the batch queue with essential and optional services with interesting practical application in health care systems. Furthermore, we have presented numerical results and cost optimization. The results reveal that a higher service rate in the essential service helps the system manager to run the system effectively and emphasize on optimal service rates in order to have a cost benefit and less congestion in the queue.

Euclidean Action of Electrically Charged Black Holes in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld Gravity

We investigate the Euclidean action of electrically charged black hole in the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) gravity utilizing a semiclassical approach. The Euclidean action is computed in the canonical ensemble. We found that by imposing an appropriate set of boundary terms, the expression of the black hole’s entropy could be found. The obtained form of the entropy is also found to be consistent with previous results.
Modelling adhesively-bonded T-joints by a meshless method

Bonding of non-parallel substrates has many applications in the transport industry. Adhesively-bonded T-joints are employed for that purpose. However, geometrical dimensions, substrates’ shape and material choices are broad. The effect that varying upper substrate thickness has on the joint strength (P max ) was investigated in this work through numerical analyses. The numerical analysis was performed using a meshless method, the natural neighbour radial point interpolation method (NNRPIM), which has been proven accurate and robust in another adhesive joint configuration. Materials were considered elastic-plastic. A yield criterion developed for rubber-like materials, the Exponent Drucker-Prager, was used for the adhesive layer, while the metallic substrates were analysed with the von Mises yield criterion. P max was determined numerically using a strain-based continuum mechanics failure criterion. Normalised peel and shear stress distributions along the bond-line are presented. Effective strains, both elastic and plastic, were also obtained. The estimated P max was compared with experimental data; a good agreement was found. The stress distribution along the bond line becomes asymmetric in joints with unbalanced substrate thicknesses. At P max , from 10 to 25% of the bond-line has entered into plastic regime. The results indicate that the proposed methodology is suitable to analyse adhesively-bonded joints under different load solicitations.
Suitability of some viruses as indices of viral pollution of water

Water quality through the presence of pathogenic enteric microorganisms may affect human health. Coliform bacteria, E. coli, and coliphages are normally used as indicators of water quality. However, the presence of the above-mentioned indicators does not always suggest the presence of human enteric viruses. It is important to study human enteric viruses in water. Human enteric viruses can tolerate fluctuating environmental conditions and survive in the environment for long periods becoming causal agents of diarrhoeal diseases. Therefore, the potential of human pathogenic viruses as significant indicators of water quality is emerging. Human adenoviruses and other viruses have been proposed as suitable indices for the effective identification of such organisms of human origin contaminating water systems (Lin and Ganesh, 2013). Traditionally, indicator micro-organisms have been used to suggest the presence of pathogens (Berg, 1978). To eliminate the ambiguity in the term ̳microbial indicator‘, the following three groups (Table 1) are now recognized.

A Poxvirus Decapping Enzyme Colocalizes with Mitochondria To Regulate RNA Metabolism and Translation and Promote Viral Replication

Decapping enzymes comprise many members from various organisms, ranging from plants, animals, and viruses. The mechanisms regulating their functions vary and are still largely unknown. ABSTRACT Decapping enzymes remove the 5′ cap of eukaryotic mRNA, leading to accelerated RNA decay. They are critical in regulating RNA homeostasis and play essential roles in many cellular and life processes. They are encoded in many organisms and viruses, including vaccinia virus, which was used as the vaccine to eradicate smallpox. Vaccinia virus encodes two decapping enzymes, D9 and D10, that are necessary for efficient viral replication and pathogenesis. However, the underlying molecular mechanisms regulating vaccinia decapping enzymes’ functions are still largely elusive. Here, we demonstrated that vaccinia D10 almost exclusively colocalized with mitochondria. As mitochondria are highly mobile cellular organelles, colocalization of D10 with mitochondria can concentrate D10 locally and mobilize it to efficiently decap mRNAs. Mitochondria were barely observed in “viral factories,” where viral transcripts are produced, suggesting that mitochondrial colocalization provides a spatial mechanism to preferentially decap cellular mRNAs over viral mRNAs. We identified three amino acids at the N terminus of D10 that are required for D10’s mitochondrial colocalization. Loss of mitochondrial colocalization significantly impaired viral replication, reduced D10’s ability to remove the RNA 5′ cap during infection, and diminished D10’s gene expression shutoff and mRNA translation promotion abilities. IMPORTANCE Decapping enzymes comprise many members from various organisms, ranging from plants, animals, and viruses. The mechanisms regulating their functions vary and are still largely unknown. Our study provides evidence that a vaccinia virus-encoded decapping enzyme, D10, colocalizes with mitochondria. Loss of mitochondrial colocalization significantly impairs viral replication, D10’s gene expression shutoff, and mRNA translation promotion ability. Overall, our results suggest that mitochondrial colocalization is a spatial mechanism to concentrate D10 locally and mobilize it to efficiently and preferentially target cellular mRNAs for decapping and promote viral mRNA translation. Our results have broad impacts for understanding the functions and regulatory mechanisms of decapping enzymes.
Effect of Tryptophan, Proline and Tyrosine on Vegetative Growth, Yield and Fruit Quality of Red Roumy grapevines

(Received 02/08/2021, accepted 17/10/2021) DOI: 10.21608/ejoh.2021. 88804.1180 ©2022 National Information and Documentation Centre (NIDOC) THIS study was achieved out during two successive seasons (2018 & 2019) on 12 yearold Red Roumy grapevines. The chosen vines were grown in a clay soil under surface irrigation system in a private vineyard at El-deer hamlet, Aga, Dakahlia region, Egypt. Three amino acids namely tryptophan, proline and tyrosine were used as foliar application at rate 100 and 200 ppm on the vines for three times, at vegetative growth start, at full bloom stage and at verison stage. Results appeared that using tryptophan, proline and tyrosine were effective in improving shoot length, leaf area, total chlorophyll and total amino acids in the leaves in addition percentages of N, P, K and Mg in the leaves as well as enhanced yield per vine, cluster weight, berry weight, berry set, SSC content, total sugars, total anthocyanin and total phenols, also enhanced pruning wood weight, ripening wood, internode length and thickness while reduced titratable acidity in berries as compared with control in two seasons. Application of tryptophan at 200 ppm and tyrosine at 200 ppm gave the significant highest of vegetative growth parameters, yield and its components. While, proline at 200 ppm increased SSC% and SSC acid ratio, total anthocyanin, total phenols and total sugars while these reduced titratable acidity. The best net profit of Red Roumy grapevines was obtained with tryptophan at 200 ppm.
