The role of social norms and behavior on household food waste
Authors:   Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines, Apolonio Rocel , Lacaza Rutcher ,   Far Eastern University, Manila, Philippines
Published: July 2022

Studies have shown how food loss and waste occur in the various stages of the food supply chain. Among these stages, household food waste in the consumption stage has been identified as a key contributor to food waste generation. Several dimensions such as food preparation and handling; consumer behavior, environmental awareness and concern; social norms and many other variables were posited by scholars as predictors of food waste generation. There is no consensus albeit as to what among the aforementioned dimensions influences food waste at the household level and the role of consumer values and social norms has not been thoroughly explored. This research was conducted to focus on the gaps, utilized a semi-structured interview for three hundred three (303) household respondents, and adopted Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) for data measure and analysis. The findings of this research reveal that food habits such as food conservation and acceptance of expiration date-based prices and suboptimal food determine the extent of food waste generation. Materialism is found to have a direct impact on food waste behavior while an environmental concern, on the other hand, supports waste prevention and recycling behavior. Moreover, environmental concern was positively linked to descriptive and injunctive norms. To explain, households who hold strong environmental norms manifest environmental concerns such as opposing waste and wasting less. Keywords: Food waste behavior, food waste generation, household food waste, social norms.
Impact on Ski Regulation Changes on Race and Gate-To-Gate Times in World Cup Giant Slalom Skiing 2005-2020
Authors: Swarén Mikael
Published: July 2022

The International Ski Federation (FIS) implemented new ski regulation prior to the 2012/2013 season for men and women and for the men again prior to the 2017/2018 season in an effort to increase skiers’ safety in the Giant Slalom (GS) event in the Alpine World Cup (WC). At present, no study has investigated how these changes impacted total race times, gate-to-gate times or number of gates per race. Hence, the purpose of this study was to investigate how the regulation changes have affected these parameters. Data were collected from the official result lists, by the FIS, for the GS event during 15 WC seasons (2005/2006-2019/2020), for men and women, respectively and grouped into Rule 1 (2005/2006-2011/2012), Rule 2 (2012/2013-2016/2017) and Rule 3 (2017/2018-2019/2020). Differences (for total race time, gate-to-gate times and number of gates) between rules were analyzed using Mann-Whitney tests and Kruskal-Wallis rank sum tests for women and men, respectively. For male skiers, the race time during Rule 2 was 152.51 (138.72-157.55) s, which was significantly slower (p < 0.01) than Rule 1, 147.42 (143.13-154.26) s and to Rule 3, 149.37 (135.63-158.32) s (p<0.05). For women, race times during Rule 1 was significant slower (p<0.001, r=0.23, df =455, U=939852.5, z = 12.079) than Rule 2, 141.3 (132.71-148.78) s vs. 137.12 (125.05-146.78) s. The men’s gate-to-gate times increased for Rule 2 compared to Rule 3, 1.49 (1.45-1.55) s vs. 1.48 (1.45-1.52) s, p<0.05), whereas the women’s gate-to-gate times decreased for Rule 2 compared to Rule 1, 1.53 (1.48-1.57) s, vs 1.57 (1.52-1.62) s, p<0.001. Changing the ski equipment regulations affected men and women differently as well the course setting and should not be considered as the sole effort to reduce skiing speed and risk of injury in GS in the alpine WC.
LGB-KASH and Shortened Workplace Incivility Scale Scores Among Athletic Trainers: A Pilot Study
Authors: Cage SA
Published: July 2022

Current literature suggests that Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer, Intersex, and Asexual (LGBTQIA) athletic trainers encounter difficulties in their workplace given their status as minorities. Previous studies have examined the attitudes of athletic trainers towards LGBTQIA patients but have not looked into attitudes of athletic trainers and coaches towards LGBTQIA athletic trainers. However, in order to effectively assess these attitudes, it is important to have a valid and reliable instrument to do so. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe the scores on the LGB-KASH and Shortened Workplace Incivility Scale among credentialed athletic trainers in the state of Texas. A total of 42 credentialed athletic trainers participated in this study (age= 33 ± 10 years, certified experience = 11 ± 10 years). Participants were sent an electronic survey by email that gathered data on demographics, LGB-KASH scores, and Shortened Workplace Incivility Scale scores. Measures of central tendency (means, standard deviations, frequencies) were calculated for all survey items. Pearson Correlations were used to assess correlations between age, years of experiences, all subcategories of the LGB-KASH, and the Shortened Workplace Incivility Scale. An independent samples t-test was performed to determine differences between responses from heterosexual participants and gay, lesbian, and bisexual participants. Data analysis yielded several significant correlations. There was a low positive correlation between age and the Hate subcategory, and a low negative correlation between age and the Civil Rights subcategory. There was also a high negative correlation between the Hate subcategory and the Civil Rights subcategory. There were also significant differences between groups in the Knowledge, Religious Conflicts, and Internalized Affirmation subcategories. There were no significant differences in the Hate or Civil Rights subcategories, or on the Shortened Workplace Incivility Scale. Future research should examine the causes of the correlations described in this pilot study. Future research should also be directed towards examining the impact of lack of education and knowledge of LGBTQIA individuals and the issues they encounter on feelings of discomfort and self-consciousness.

Published: July 2022

This study was conducted to estimate the repeatability and MPPA values of Sapudi ewe based on birth weight and weaning weight. Samples used 93 Sapudi lambs from 26 ewes that lambed three times, and the observed variables were lambing weight and weaning weight. Collected data were analyzed quantitatively. Estimating repeatability by analyzing the variance of the relationship between sibling and the parental rank was based on the relative MPPA formula..  The results showed that the average lambing and weaning weights were 2.789±0.206 kg and 10.058±1.470 kg. The repeatability of lambing and weaning weight were 0.108±0.119, and 0.565±0.104 belonged to the low and high categories. The average MPPA of lambing and weaning weight were 0.001 and 0.087. MPPA values of lambing and weaning weight range from -0.087 to 0.075 and -1.721 to 2.713. The highest ranking of the Sapudi ewe in lambing and weaning weight is ear tag 103 and ear tag 27 with MPPA 0.075 and 2.713. It can be concluded that there were 11 ewes with MPPA lambing and weaning weight above the average MPPA population that should be maintained in the population.

This research aimed to examine the effect of Terminalia catappa extract in drinking water on Crossbred-native chicken's performance and carcass production. The research was arranged in a completely randomized design with five treatments and 5 replications (8 birds each). The samples in the present study were two hundred crossbred native chickens with an average body weight of 120.58±12.60 g. The treatments were as follows: drinking water without Terminalia catappa extract (T0); Drinking water with 1% of fresh Terminalia catappa leaf extract ten ml/1 l water (T1); Drinking water with 2% of fresh Terminalia catappa leaf extract 20 ml/1 l water (T2); Drinking water with 3% of fresh Terminalia catappa leaf extract 30 ml/1 l water (T3); Drinking water with 4% of fresh Terminalia catappa leaf extract 40 ml/1 l water (T4). Parameters observed were drinking water consumption, feed consumption, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and carcass production. Results show that Terminalia catappa extract in drinking water significantly affects drinking water consumption but has no effect on other parameters. Fresh Terminalia catappa leaf extract can be used in drinking water until 4%.

Published: July 2022

A media surveillance analysis was conducted to identify COVID-19 workplace outbreaks and associated transmission risk for new and emerging occupations. We identified 1,111 unique COVID-19 workplace outbreaks using the Factiva database. Occupations identified in the media articles were coded to the 2016 National Occupational Classification (V1.3), and were compared and contrasted with the same occupation in the Vancouver School of Economics (VSE) COVID Risk/Reward Assessment Tool by risk rating. After nurse aides, orderlies and patient service associates (n=109, very high risk), industrial butchers and meat cutters, and poultry preparers and related workers had the most workplace outbreaks reported in the media (n=79) but were rated as medium risk for COVID-19 transmission in the VSE COVID Risk Tool. Outbreaks were also reported among material handlers (n=61) and general farm workers (n=28) but these occupations were rated medium-low risk and low risk, respectively. Food and beverage services (n=72) and cashiers (n=60) were identified as high risk occupations in the VSE COVID Risk Tool. Differences between the media results and the risk tool point to key determinants of health that compound the risk of COVID-19 exposure in the workplace for some occupations, and highlight the importance of collecting occupation data during a pandemic.

Purpose: The COVID-19 pandemic led to school closure and loss of in-person instruction during the 2019-2020 academic year across the U.S., which had a profound impact on the reading development of beginning readers. In this study we tested if a research-informed educational technology (EdTech) program – GraphoLearn – could help alleviate the COVID-19 slide. We also sought to understand the profiles of children who benefitted most from this EdTech program. Method: Participants included 172 children who were either in Kindergarten, first, or second grade at study entry. A standardized early literacy (STAR) score was obtained before and after playing GraphoLearn and the pre- to post difference was used as the dependent variable. We first compared children’s STAR actual and expected growth. Then we conducted a multiple regression analysis with data about engagement with GraphoLearn included as predictors. Additional predictors were extracted from GraphoLearn performance at study onset to assess children’s letter-sound knowledge, rime awareness, and word recognition. Results: The difference between actual average reading growth and expected growth in a regular school year was not statistically significant. This suggests that children in our sample seem to be gaining reading skills as expected in a regular school year. Our multiple linear regression model explained 48% of the variance in early literacy growth. Older children, with higher baseline GraphoLearn word recognition, who played more units in a fixed number of days made significantly more early literacy progress. Conclusion: While we lacked a control group, our preliminary results suggest that an EdTech program such as GraphoLearn may be a useful reading instructional tool. While large decreases in early literacy skills were expected for young children due to COVID-19 related school shutdowns, on average, children in our sample showed increase in early literacy knowledge over this period. In addition, our results suggest that practice with GraphoLearn was more effective and efficient when foundational instruction was already in place.
Differential expression of general transcription factor IIIA in cancers of the breast.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: July 2022

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding general transcription factor IIIA, GTF3A, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. GTF3A was also differentially expressed in the tumor cells of patients with triple negative breast cancer. GTF3A mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of GTF3A in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with recurrence-free survival in patients with luminal A subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. GTF3A may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
A Practical Guide to Calculating Cepstral Peak Prominence in Praat
Authors: Heller Murray Elizabeth , Chao Andie , Colletti Lauren A
Published: July 2022

The acoustic measure of cepstral peak prominence (CPP) is recommended for the analysis of dysphonia. Yet, clinical use of this measure is not universal, as clinicians and researchers are still learning the strengths and limitations of this measure. Furthermore, affordable access to specialized acoustic software is a significant barrier to universal CPP use. This article will provide a guide on how to calculate CPP in Praat, a free software program, using a new CPP plugin. Important external factors that could influence CPP measures are discussed, and suggestions for clinical use are provided. As CPP becomes more widely used by clinicians and researchers, it is important to consider external factors that may inadvertently influence CPP values. Controlling for these external factors will aid in reducing variability across CPP values, which will make CPP a valuable tool for both clinical and research purposes.

Breast cancer affects women at relatively high frequency (1). We mined published microarray datasets (2, 3) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with early-onset breast cancer. We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding StAR-related lipid transfer domain-containing 10, STARD10, when comparing primary tumors of the breast to the tissue of origin, the normal breast: in women aged 45 and younger, and women aged 70 and higher. STARD10 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the breast as compared to normal breast tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of STARD10 in primary tumors of the breast was correlated with overall survival in patients with basal and luminal A subtype breast cancer, demonstrating a relationship between primary tumor expression of a differentially expressed gene and patient survival outcomes influenced by PAM50 molecular subtype. STARD10 may be of relevance to initiation, maintenance or progression of cancers of the female breast.
Open-mindedness predicts support for public health measures and disbelief in conspiracy theories during the COVID-19 pandemic

Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated the importance of public support for non-pharmaceutical public health interventions and the perils of rampant spread of misinformed or conspiratorial beliefs. Open-minded epistemic attitudes may be associated with adherence to public health recommendations and protect against holding false beliefs. In a large (N = 49 968, 68 countries) global sample collected during the first months of the COVID-19 pandemic we find that open-minded people are less likely to accept conspiracy theories about the disease, more likely to engage in physical distancing, more likely to engage in hygienic behaviors such as hand-washing, and more likely to support public health policies such as closing dangerous indoor spaces such as restaurants and bars. In fact, out of seventeen potential individual difference measures, open-mindedness turns out to be the strongest predictor for rejecting conspiracy beliefs, and supporting physical distancing, and policy support and among the strongest for physical hygiene. In exploratory analyses, we find that public health support is associated with a learning oriented factor of open-mindedness while conspiratorial beliefs are associated with a threat oriented factor of open-mindedness. We further find that the effect of threat oriented open-mindedness interacts with participants' left-right political orientation. These results suggest that it will be important to investigate whether open-mindedness can be cultivated or encouraged through educational or other interventions to ensure that public health is protected and that conspiracy theories about COVID-19 do not spread.
Modeling effects of rumination on free recall using ACT-R

Published: July 2022

Ruminative thinking, characterized by a recurrent focus on negative and self-related thought, is a key cognitive vulnerability marker of depression and therefore a key individual difference variable. This study aimed to develop a computational cognitive model of rumination focusing on the organization and retrieval of information in memory, and how these mechanisms differ in individuals prone to rumination and individuals less prone to rumination. Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational (ACT-R) was used to develop a rumination mode by adding memory chunks with negative valence to the declarative memory. In addition, their strength of association was increased to simulate recurrent negative focus, thereby making it harder to disengage from. The ACT-R models were validated by comparing them against two empirical datasets containing data from control and depressed participants. Our general and ruminative models were able to recreate the benchmarks of free recall while matching the behavior exhibited by the control and the depressed participants, respectively. Our study shows that it is possible to build a computational theory of rumination that can accurately simulate the differences in free recall dynamics between control and depressed individuals. Such a model could enable a more fine-tuned investigation of underlying cognitive mechanisms of depression and potentially help to improve interventions by allowing them to more specifically target key mechanisms that instigate and maintain depression.
Reminders of Japanese redress and Asian American support for Black reparations
Authors: Kraus Michael W. , Vinluan Aeroelay Chyei
Published: July 2022

In 1942, the U.S. government wrongfully relocated and imprisoned more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, and it took over 45 years for that government to apologize and offer $20,000 USD in reparations payments. Japanese redress is a recent, but not widely known, concrete example of communities who have successfully fought for reparative economic action. In two preregistered studies of online crowdsourced panels of Asian Americans (N = 829), an intervention that raised awareness of this history of incarceration and redress increased support for reparations for Black Americans, relative to an informational control condition, and relative to national polling data on support for reparations. Follow-up exploratory analyses revealed that the degree of learning about Japanese redress in the intervention (versus control) explained the intervention’s impact on support for Black reparations. We conclude by highlighting the importance of additional research on representative samples of Asian Americans to better understand how education about past redress within one’s own social group can create conditions to galvanize support for reparative economic justice for others.
The Spatiotemporal Gradient of Intrusion Errors in Continuous Outcome Source Memory
Authors: Zhou Jason , Osth Adam F , Smith Philip
Published: July 2022

Previous research has characterized source retrieval as a thresholded process, which fails on a proportion of trials and leads to guessing, as opposed to a continuous process, where response precision varies across trials but is never zero. The thresholded view of source retrieval is largely based on the observation of heavy tailed distributions of response errors, thought to reflect a large proportion of “memory-less” trials. In this study, we investigate whether these errors might instead reflect systematic intrusions from other list items which can mimic source guessing. Using the circular diffusion of decision making, which accounts for both response errors and RTs we found that intrusions account for some, but not all, errors in a continuous-report source memory task. Additionally, we found that intrusion errors were more likely to come from items studied in nearby locations and times, but not from semantically or perceptually similar cues. Our findings support a thresholded view of source retrieval but suggest that previous work has overestimated the proportion of guesses which have been conflated with intrusions.

"Far away and yet so near" is a metaphoric title that somehow defines all the collected texts. It embraces what is here and now as well as what seems distinctive, imperishable and… essential? Even if not – still important and inseparable. All of the discussed writers – Konwicki, Kuncewiczowa, Stojowski, Vincenz, Hemar, Wierzyński, Filipowicz, Pavel – are without a doubt virtuosos, who undertook a breakneck task of engraving their pivotal, fundamental experiences in literature. The collection includes essays sharing a clearly determined theme – autobiographic works of writers, who experienced war, occupation, Eastern Polish and Galician myths, as well as post-war political turmoil – including Stalinism, social realism and the Polish thaw. The inclusion of the trope of angling, present in the writings of Kornel Filipowicz and Ota Pavel, an exceptional author from the Czech Republic, may come as a surprise. It is easy to underestimate its importance, but the theme is by no means trivial. The moments of solitude in the wild, with a fishing rod as a sole companion, were cherished times of escape from the war trauma.

Loose smut (Ustilago avenae (Pers.) Jens.) and covered smut (Ustilago kolleri Wille) are considered to be the most harmful and widespread in the forest-steppes of the Pre-Ob region. The poor grain yields in some years could reach up to 25%, and up to 50% in the years of epiphytoties. The purpose of the current study was to identify the resistance of oat varieties to dusty and covered smut in the forest-steppes of the Pre-Ob region. The study was carried out at the phytopathological plot of the laboratory for plant gene pool of the SRIPCB, the branch of Institute of Cytology and Genetics, Siberian Branch of RAS in 2018–2021. The objects of research were Russian varieties from the world collection of VIR named after V.I. Vavilov. There have been studied 64 oat genotypes for resistance to local populations of loose and covered smut. There has been established a significant correlation between plants’ damage caused by loose and covered smut and soil temperature during the period ‘third decade of May – the first decade of June’ (r = 0.76 and r = 0.73). There was no significant correlation between plants’ damage and the average daily air temperature (r = 0.32 and r = 0.48). There has been determined a negative relationship (r = –0.77 and r = –0.71) between the manifestation of the disease and the amount of precipitation during the period ‘sowing-sprouts’. There has been established that most varieties are susceptible to pathogens. According to smut fungi resistance under conditions of an artificial infectious background, there have been identified such oat varieties as ‘Sibirsky Gerkules’, ‘Fakel’, ‘Rysak’ and ‘Uralets’. These varieties are characterized by large productivity, 1000-grain weight, resistance to lodging.

The current study was carried out in order to analyze the literature devoted to the researches of a number of factors affecting the processes of androgenesis in vitro in wheat anther culture. Triticum aestivum L. is one of the most stable food crops in the world. An important step for wheat breeders is to improve the productivity potential with appropriate grain quality and resistance to unfavorable environmental factors. In order to improve and speed up the breeding process, a targeted selection of the initial material is required with the involvement of donors according to the main limiting traits and properties. In this regard, the use of modern breeding methods and biotechnological techniques, which make it possible to quickly obtain a new initial material with desirable economically valuable traits becomes an urgent issue. The use of haploidy methods, namely, the development of plants with a single set of chromosomes from an immature wheat anther culture (androgenesis), has great prospects for such work. According to the researchers, the efficiency of the method in vitro depends on many factors, such as influence of a genotype, growing conditions, a selection period, pre-treatment, a nutrient medium formula and cultivation conditions. According to some critical reviews, a genotype dependence, low efficiency, and albinism can pose serious limitations to the application of the anther culture method. However, other research groups have made significant efforts to reduce the impact of these negative factors. Due to continuous improvements, the well-established method of anther culture cultivation in vitro can be an effective way to develop wheat varieties and lines with the desired traits and properties.

Published: July 2022

In accordance with the purpose of the current study, there have been presented the study results of the productivity and grain quality of the co-breeding winter bread wheat varieties. Kalmykia RAI, the branch of the “Pre-Kaspy AFRC RAS” in cooperation with the FSBSI “NCG named after P.P. Lukyanenko” developed five winter bread wheat varieties. The Competitive Variety Testing was laid down in 2 layers in 4-fold repetition using a CH-16 seeder in 2017–2021. The accounting area of the plot was 50 m². The sowing was carried out at the optimal time, in the third decade of September. The seeding rate was 300 germinating seeds per 1 m². The crop was sown in weedfree fallow. The mean grain productivity of the co-breeding varieties through 5 years in the arid conditions of the Republic of Kalmykia was 3.06 t/ha. The variety ‘Khasyr’ had the maximum productivity. The study has confirmed that the co-breeding varieties formed high-quality grain suitable for baking. The highest percentage of protein (14.8%) and gluten (31.1%) among the varieties through the past 5 years was in 2020. Grain unit of all varieties exceeded the basic rate of 750 g/l and ranged from 765 to 786 g/l. The best grain unit was demonstrated by the new variety ‘Khamdan’. Grain sedimentation among the varieties varied on average from 42.0 to 49.4 ml, which is an average ratio for this crop. The flour strength ranged from 171 to 299 u.a. Strong flour was obtained from the variety ‘Bulgun’. In recent years the bread volume varied from 515 to 650 cm³, the total rate of grain and flour of the co-breeding varieties was 4.0 - 4.8, which is typical for valuable and strong wheat.

The purpose of the current research was to study and identify new promising pea lines with stable indicators of the trait ‘1000-seed weight’. The study was carried out in the fields of the laboratory for legumes breeding and seed production of the FSBSI Agricultural Research Center “Donskoy”, located in the southern part of the Rostov region, in the Competitive Variety Testing in 2018–2020. The objects of the study were 12 new pea lines developed by the FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”. The standard variety was ‘Aksaisky usaty 5’. The study conducted in 2018–2020 resulted in assignment of all samples to the medium-size group, which had 150–250 g of ‘1000-seed weight’. The lines ‘B-3626/20’ (213.3 g) and ‘B-3733/9-1’ (210.7 g) produced the largest size of seeds. Intervarietal variability differed through the years. In 2018 it was 13.6%, in 2019 it was 11.5% and in 2020 it was 21.1%, with an annual average indicator of 19.8%. The analysis of intravarietal variability showed that the lowest variability (less than 10%) was characteristic for the standard variety ‘Aksaisky Usaty 5’ (5.9%), the lines ‘G-1014’ (7.7%) and ‘B-3733/9-1’ (9.1%). The average variability (10-20%) was characteristic for the lines ‘G-1008’ (13.7%), ‘B-3790/30-3’ (11.2%), ‘B-3626/20’ (19.8%). In the rest of the breeding samples, intravarietal variability was high (more than 20%) through the years of study. In this study, the standard variety ‘Aksaisky Usaty 5’ had the highest homeostasis of 157.5. Not a single new line has exceeded this figure. This indicates that this variety least of all among the studied samples, changed the size of seeds under different growing conditions through the years of study. Among the studied new breeding lines, the breeding lines ‘G-1014’ (86.3), ‘B-3733/9-1’ (64.6) had high homeostaticity due to the trait ‘1000-seed weight’.
