How musicality changes moral consideration: People judge musical entities as more wrong to harm.
Authors: Agrawal Tanushree , Rottman Josh , Schachner Adena
Published: August 2022

A growing literature shows that music increases prosocial behavior. Why does this occur? We propose a novel hypothesis, informed by moral psychology: evidence of others’ musicality may promote prosociality by leading us to judge musical individuals as having enhanced moral standing. This effect may be largely indirect, by increasing perceptions of how intelligent and emotionally sensitive musical individuals are. If so, simply knowing about others’ musicality should affect moral evaluations, such as wrongness to harm. Across four experiments (total N = 550), we found supportive evidence. Information that an animal or person had the capacity and motivation to engage with music led participants to judge these entities as more wrong to harm than matched neutral or non-musical counterparts. Similarly, knowing that a person was not musical made people judge them as less wrong to harm than neutral or musical counterparts. As predicted, musicality was positively associated with perceptions of capacities for emotionality and intelligence, and these broader factors partially mediated the relationship between musicality and wrongness to harm. These effects were not influenced by participants’ own musicality. Thus, non-moral attributes like musicality can impact moral consideration, carrying implications for social behavior and for interventions to promote prosociality.

Scientific theories reflect some of humanity's greatest epistemic achievements. The best theories motivate us to search for discoveries, guide us towards successful interventions, and help us to explain and organize knowledge. Such theories require a high degree of specificity, and specifying them requires modeling skills. Unfortunately, in psychological science, theories are often not precise, and psychological scientists often lack the technical skills to formally specify existing theories. This problem raises the question: How can we promote formal theory development in psychology, where there are many content experts but few modelers? In this paper, we discuss one strategy for addressing this issue: a Many Modelers approach. Many Modelers consist of mixed teams of modelers and non-modelers that collaborate to create a formal theory of a phenomenon. We report a proof of concept of this approach, which we piloted as a three-hour hackathon at the SIPS 2021 conference. We find that (a) psychologists who have never developed a formal model can become excited about formal modeling and theorizing; (b) a division of labor in formal theorizing could be possible where only one or a few team members possess the prerequisite modeling expertise; and (c) first working prototypes of a theoretical model can be created in a short period of time.
Religiosity Decline in Europe Age, Generation, and the Mediating Role of Shifting Human Values
Authors: Kościelniak Maciej , Bojanowska Agnieszka , Gasiorowska Agata
Published: August 2022

Despite the fact that age is associated with higher religiosity, the aging European population has experienced a noticeable religiosity decline over recent decades. This study aimed to explain this paradox and to link it to an intergenerational shift in the pattern of values (as conceptualized by Shalom Schwartz). We conducted extended mediation analyses on the relationships between generational affiliation and the level of personal religiosity via human values in two studies (European Social Survey round 7, N = 29,775; and European Social Survey rounds 1-9, N = 224,314). Our results confirm a pronounced trend of religiosity decline and explain this process by changes in personal values. In particular, Europe's generational increase in openness to change values explains religiosity decline above and beyond the effect of people’s developmental age. We conclude that the perspective of human values provides a significant rationale for further research on religiosity, in relation to both past and future generations of Europeans.
Representational shifts: Increasing motivation for bottled water through simulation-enhancing advertisements
Authors: Claassen Maria Almudena , Papies Esther K.
Published: August 2022

BackgroundDespite its numerous health benefits, consumers’ daily water consumption is below the recommend level while soft drink consumption remains high. Previous research has shown that the degree to which drinks are cognitively represented of in terms of consuming and enjoying them (i.e., through simulations of consumption and reward) predicts desire and intake. Here, we examined whether simulation-enhancing advertisements framing water in terms of consumption and reward changes cognitive representations and increases motivation for a fictitious bottled water. MethodsIn three pre-registered online experiments (Nexp1 = 984; Nexp2 = 786; Nexp3 = 907), UK participants viewed three advertisements that highlighted either the rewarding consumption experience of water (e.g., “refresh all your senses with this smooth, cool water”), health consequences of drinking water (e.g., “this water takes care of your health”), or control advertisements. We assessed cognitive representations of the bottled water with a Feature Listing task, and we coded the words used as consumption and reward features or positive long-term health consequences features. We assessed motivation by measuring attractiveness of the water (only in Exp. 1), desire to drink it, and willingness to pay for it (WTP). ResultsIn line with our hypotheses, participants represented the bottled water more in terms of consumption and reward simulation features after viewing simulation-enhancing advertisements, and more in terms of long-term positive health consequences features after viewing health-focused advertisements. There was no direct effect of advertisement condition on motivation. However, significant indirect effects showed that simulation-enhancing advertisements increased desire and WTP through the proportion of consumption and reward features, whereas health-focused advertisements increased motivation through an increase in the proportion of positive long-term health consequences features. The effect through consumption and reward was stronger. ConclusionsThese findings are in line with research suggesting that experiencing immediate reward from drinking water underlies intake. Public health interventions should emphasize enjoyment, rather than long-term health benefits.
Exemplification of ABO Blood Groups in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus
Authors: Prakash Satyam , Yadav Khushbu , Sah Vijay Kumar , Pandeya Dipendra Raj
Published: August 2022

INTRODUCTION: Diabetes Mellitus and blood groups are interrelated. The relationship between ABO blood groups and disease susceptibility has generated a concern. The identification of a positive relationship between DM and blood groups could indicate higher susceptibility to diabetes and a negative relationship could indicate protection from diabetes. Therefore, the objective of the study was designed to exemplify ABO blood groups in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was conducted at Ram Janaki Hospital and Swastika Health Care Hospital, Janakpurdham from September 2017 to March 2018.The record of the patients from the medicine OPD in both the hospitals was identified and relevant data were extracted. The data was recorded from the reports of the patients with confirmed DM patients attending Medicine department.
RESULTS: The majority of the 579 diabetic patients were in the 40-60 year old age group. The most predominant blood group was B (251; 43.4 %), followed by AB (137; 23.7 %), O (125; 21.5 %), and A (66; 11.4 %) respectively. In comparison to male diabetics, less than half (44.1%) of female diabetics had blood group B. (42.7%). Similarly, males (13.0 %) were found to have more blood group A than females (9.8%). In diabetic individuals, the relationship between blood group and age (p=0.652) and sex (p=0.659) was shown to be insignificant. The majority of the patients (94.3%) had Rh positive blood groups, whereas the other had Rh negative blood types (5.7%). There was no correlation between blood group Rh factor and age group (p=0.817) or as well as with sex (p=0.333) among diabetic patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Diabetic patients were more likely to have blood type B, while diabetics were less likely to have blood group A. It implies that diabetes is linked to ABO blood types, and that those with Group-B are more likely to develop the condition. Blood group could be a risk factor, and knowing it can aid with disease evaluation and screening.
Is bullying by peers in youth related to sexual depression in adulthood? A mediation model of shame, social anxiety, and body satisfaction
Authors: Morozov Matvei , Boislard Marie-Aude
Published: August 2022

This study examined whether being bullied by peers in childhood and adolescence was associated with sexual depression in adulthood, and whether this relationship was mediated by shame, social anxiety and body dissatisfaction, and moderated by gender. A large sample of adults ( N = 1210, Mage = 27.07 years, SD = 7.87, 44.8% cisgender men, 47.9% cisgender women, 7.3% other genders) completed an online questionnaire on various sexual and life experiences. Linear regression of sexual depression on bullying incidence was statistically significant ( β = .08, p = .001), as was our moderated mediation model ( R2 = .42, F(21, 1188) = 40.15, p < .001). Bullying was positively associated with shame ( B = .09, p < .001) and social anxiety ( B = .06, p < .001), and negatively associated with body satisfaction ( B = −.06, p < .001). Furthermore, shame ( B = .35, p < .001), social anxiety ( B = .15, p = .011) and lower body satisfaction ( B = −.25, p < .001) were positively associated with sexual depression. Shame was more strongly associated with sexual depression for cisgender men ( B = .03, 95% CI = [.02, .05]) than for cisgender women ( B = .01, 95% CI = [.00, .02]). Altogether, shame, social anxiety, and low body satisfaction fully mediated the relationship between bullying incidence in youth and sexual depression in adulthood. Implications for strengthening anti-bullying measures in schools and for promoting sexual well-being are discussed.
METHODOLOGICAL FEATURES OF STUDYING OF FUNDAMENTALS OF THEORY OF FLUCTUATIONS IN THE COURSE OF THEORETICAL PHYSICS IN PEDAGOGICAL UNIVERSITY
Authors:   Бердянський державний педагогічний університет, SHKOLA O.
Published: August 2022

The article deals with the theoretical aspects and practical implementation of the author's methodological approach in teaching the basics of fluctuation theory of the course of theoretical physics in Pedagogical University, which is important in the fundamental training of pre-service physics teachers. It is noted that despite the availability of various literary sources, methodological value and originality of the author's approaches in covering the main issues of the course, the need to improve the methodology of its teaching in modern conditions of modernization of higher pedagogical education in the context of European requirements and realities is quite obvious and natural. It is noted that the effective mastery of the basic principles of the theory of fluctuations of theoretical physics, taking into account the principles of fundamentality and professional orientation will contribute to the maximum conciseness of the mathematical apparatus, content compactness, unity, clarity and consistency of teaching material. The author proposes to study the fluctuations of the basic thermodynamic quantities of a macrosystem (energy, volume, density, temperature, entropy, pressure) using two Gibbs lemmas. Molecular scattering of light and its consequences are elucidated according to Rayleigh's law, in conditions when the dimensions of the inhomogeneities of the strucure due to the thermal motion of particles is small in comparison with the wavelength of light. The derivation of the Einstein-Smolukhovsky formula for Brownian motion is proposed according to primary sources with emphasis on the analysis of its physical essence, connection with the second law of thermodynamics, experimental determination based on it in the early twentieth century Boltzmann's constant as a decisive argument in favour of the molecular kinetic theory of the structure of matter and the whole concept of statistical physics. The organization of the educational process on the basis of the methodological approach that was proposed by the author testifies to its effectiveness, which is confirmed by the level of cognitive activity and the results of the final modular control of applicants in recent years. Key words: professional competence of pre-service physics teacher, theoretical physics, theory of fluctuations.
INNOVATIVE AND INFORMATION APPROACHES IN TRAINING PROFESSIONALS FOR THE TOURISM INDUSTRY
Authors:   Національний педагогічний університет імені М. П. Драгоманова, SCHERBAK L.
Published: August 2022

The main tasks of information and communication technologies of education are defined in the article, the directions of their introduction in professional training of future managers of tourism are considered: studying of hardware and software of tourist office; formation of skills in automating the work of a travel agency; study of methods and strategies of advertising, the formation of skills in the organization of tourism business on the Internet; study of methods of working with information retrieval systems. More than 80 higher educational institutions of Ukraine and even more professional institutions of lower level of accreditation train tourism specialists. This, of course, contributes to the development of the tourism industry, but the low level of cooperation between vocational tourism education institutions and enterprises does not allow for the development of high quality not only theoretical but also practical aspects of education. Lack of practical skills hinders the development of the tourism sector, as companies need to train employees in the workplace, losing not only time but also money. In turn, higher education institutions are interested in making their graduates competitive in the labor market, as this is an indicator of the quality of training of a particular institution and a good basis for future cooperation between the employer and the educational institution.Innovative pedagogical activity is associated with the rejection of well-known stereotypes in the teaching, education and development of the student's personality, creates new standards of personal and creative, individually oriented activities of the teacher, develops pedagogical technologies implemented in this activity. This is especially important today, when an important priority of public policy in the labor market is to optimize the training of the population with an emphasis not on assessing the learning process, but as a result, not on the duration of training, but on its quality. Key words: innovative technologies, educational technologies, professional competence, professional training, communication technologies.

The purpose of the study is to reveal the ethnopedagogical traditions of education in the Kosach-Dragomanov family in terms of courses of educational disciplines «History of pedagogy» and «Theory and methodology of education» in the conditions of distance learning. The article proves that the dominants of the upbringing of children in the Kosach-Dragomanov family were cultural, patriotic, spiritual, moral, mental, labor and religious education; the ethnopedagogical potential of the family accumulates spiritual, moral, cultural, national, mental, aesthetic, emotional, labor education through the cultivation of the Ukrainian mentality, in respect of the ethnopedagogical traditions of the Ukrainian people. It is proved that the successful assimilation of the achievements of the ethno-pedagogical familial experience by students, the acquisition of the highest spiritual and moral qualities of the individual is facilitated by audit and practical work: in classes on the theory and methodology of education, the history of pedagogy, the preparation of abstracts, research and search design, Internet quizzes, flash mobs. For example, now we are forced to study remotely, so within 25 days the online project of the Department of Pedagogy of Berdyansk State Pedagogical University «Paths of Pedagogical Heritage of Lesia Ukrainka» took place on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of her birth. Every day students of the Faculty of Psychological and Pedagogical Education and Arts introduced Lesia Ukrainka to poetry for the youngest in different formats: read poems, sang songs on the words of poets, painted portraits. Key words: ethnopedagogical tradition, upbringing of the children, family, experience, educational process, distance learning.
OVERCOMING OF THE GENDER STEREOTYPES BY SPORTS GAMES MEANS DURING PHYSICAL TRAINING LESSONS

The article analyzes the manifestations of gender stereotypes in sports and notes that despite some positive changes in pedagogy, in particular, when it comes to physical education, there is still a unilateral approach in sex-role education of children. Even in new pedagogical publications, the difference between sexes is often reduced only to the physiological differences. It is stated that the introduction of sports games, in particular basketball, at high school allows to overcome a number of gender stereotypes. The model experiment has determined the appropriate age of starting playing basketball, on the basis of which you can see that at high school, both boys and girls show equally high achievements in this sport. This pattern allows you to train the basic skills of the game and directly two-way play in mixed teams. As a result, students develop an understanding that success, effectiveness and victory depend on perseverance, diligence, work on themselves and their own skills, not on gender. It is emphasized that the purpose of studying sport games at high school, in particular basketball, is not training professional athletes, but education of a number of useful life skills: the ability to work in a team, ingenuity, agility, initiative, leadership qualities and, importantly, overcome gender stereotypes about the benefits of a certain sex in sports. Thus, generalization of the results of the model experiment and many years of practical experience make it possible to argue that basketball is an effective way to overcome gender stereotypes in physical education lessons at high school. Key words: gender stereotypes, sports games, basketball, model experiment, sensitive periods of development, mixed teams.

Monkeypox among linked heterosexual casual partners in Bayelsa, Nigeria
Authors: Ogoina Dimie , Hendris James Izibewule
Published: August 2022

INTRODUCTION
The 2022 outbreak of monkeypox (MPX) in the global north has been linked to sexual networks of gay and bisexual men with high-risk behaviours such as multiple sexual partners (MSP) and condomless casual sex (CCS). Studies describing potential transmissions of the monkeypox virus (MPV) via sexual contact among heterosexuals in MPX-endemic countries are lacking. We report the epidemiological and clinical features of seven cases of MPX in Bayelsa State, Nigeria who were linked heterosexual casual partners.

METHODS

We conducted a descriptive cross-sectional study between June and August 18th, 2022, among confirmed and probable MPX cases seen at the Niger Delta University Teaching Hospital (NDUTH), Bayelsa during the study period. The demographic, clinical, exposure, and sexual history of the patients were documented using a structured data entry form. Case definitions were according to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control guidelines. 

RESULTS

The seven participants seen during the study period (six laboratory-confirmed and one probable case), were between 21 to 42 years (mean and SD of 31± 8.6 years) of age, four were males, four (57.1%) were single, and all reported MSP (mean and SD of 3± 1.1 sexual partners) and CCS in the prior three months. There were three pairs of linked heterosexual casual partners who developed symptoms two to 14 days (median of 3 days) after their last sexual activity. About 86% reported a distinct febrile prodrome, and a genital rash was the primary lesion in all cases. Three (42.9%) of the seven cases reported potential exposures to the MPV before the appearance of the genital rash. 

CONCLUSION

Our results support sexual transmission of MPV among a few heterosexual casual partners from a state in Nigeria. Further studies are required to determine the extent of sexual transmission of MPX in Nigeria, including the potential of transmission before appearance of genital rash.

Published: August 2022

Findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) set principles that determine best practice for managing the dissemination and ensuring longevity of digital resources. The Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) provides guidance on metadata and related topics to those working in the Helmholtz ecosystem. Given the complexity - both of the FAIR principles, and the Helmholtz ecosystem - we interpret the principles so they can be directly applicable to the Helmholtz context. In this interpretation we consider managers, tool-developers, data managers, and researchers amongst others; and provide guidance to these disparate roles on applying the FAIR principles in their professional lives.

This study aims to explain the factors affecting corporate governance and its implication on accounting information quality.  Globally, there are many companies that collapsed due to misleading accounting information.  Companies declares financial statements as free from errors or misstatements wherein fact it misleads financial statements users.  There were 36 firm year observation being analyzed using PLS-SEM to process the available data.  The results showed that audit committee and board of directors have significant effect on good corporate governance, while institutional ownership has no significant effect on good corporate governance.  On the other hand, corporate governance has significant effect on accounting information quality. This is an indication that the quality of accounting information depends on the practice of good corporate governance.  Strict compliance of rules and regulations lead to better governance of publicly listed companies.  The originality of this research is that this is the first ever study that had focused on the awardees for mostly trusted, trusted, and fairly trusted companies listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange.         
The protagonism of local populations in the Mariana and Brumadinho crises in the national and regional press
Authors:   Institute of Social and Political Sciences, University of Lisbon, Teixeira Clésio
Published: August 2022

In 2015 and 2019, respectively, in the cities of Mariana and Brumadinho, in the state of Minas Gerais (Brazil), the two most significant environmental and labor disasters in the history of the country occurred. Two iron ore tailings dams ruptured. These disasters had a consider-able impact on the lives of the communities where they happened, and received widespread coverage in the Brazilian and international media. This article analyzes the highlights from printed media with the most significant national circulation (Folha de S. Paulo, O Globo, Veja, and Época) as well as regional ones in the Minas Gerais State (Estado de Minas and O Tempo). The article concentrates on the first pages of the chosen media’s coverage within one year after these incidents. Quantitative analysis of the content of 3,148 covers of these newspapers and magazines was used to determine the most prominent actors and themes. The main highlights of this paper are: (i) the role of local populations, as the most prominent actors, portrayed in their testimonies and personal stories (ii) the difference between the most prominent themes, which were, in Mariana, publications on environmental damage, and, in Brumadinho, the threat of new disasters; and (iii) the greater emphasis given by the regional media in comparison to the national ones. This study provides local communities with information about how they were represented and how the press received their de-mands and mobilizations. The article also offers elements for discussion and the use of stra-tegic communication tools in the mobilization of local populations and the repair of damage to the image of the organizations involved.
Communicating climate change and energy in rural Africa: A case analysis to explain how participatory communication can support transition to renewables and adoption of solar technologies in rural Africa
Authors:   School of Media and Communication, Universities of Douala, Cameroon, and Leicester,United Kingdom, Nyoh Israel
Published: August 2022

Over the last two decades, numerous initiatives have attempted to solve the problem of ac-cess to electricity in Africa by massively deploying renewable solar solutions to rural areas. In doing so, they are helping to redress the problem, yet struggling to convince rural stake-holders to accept and integrate solar systems. This article explores how energy initiatives can strategically employ communication models to ease transition, acceptance, and integra-tion of renewable energy in rural Africa. Qualitative and quantitative research methods and tools such as surveys, in-depth interviews, and field observation, were used. These were col-lected and feedback analyzed from rural stakeholders on how communication shaped their understanding, acceptance, and integration of renewable solar energy in their local area. The results showed that the attitudes rural stakeholders generally show towards renewa-ble solar technologies depend on the communication approach used to engage them. The results also revealed a range of symbiotic factors that can change public perception and ac-ceptance of solar energy. One of them is including rural voices in the process of developing and delivering communication. The research results demonstrate that public engagement in energy initiatives is a very important way of encouraging acceptance. The results recom-mend energy communication scholarship use inclusive methods to try to understand what makes rural stakeholders shift their attitudes and beliefs. Finally, it is argued that grassroots innovations and community led renewable approaches are socially acceptable and inclusive and development projects and initiatives need to find better ways to offer rural stakeholders the ability to shape their own communications.

The important dramatization of public scenes through social media can be observed within the paradigm of the Networked Society proposed by Castells (2003). Networked social move-ments mobilize their efforts to foster and balance public debate in their favor. In this article, we aim to understand how the communication strategies on #UERJResiste Facebook page in defense of the State University of Rio de Janeiro – UERJ – was presented in this public arena (Cefaï, 2017a, 2017b), in the period from January to April, 2017. 266 posts were collected to outline an ethnographic description (Laplantine, 2004) of the social movement. An inter-view was also held with one of the page’s administrators to understand how the content is produced in order to compose a situational analysis. As a result, we identified four categories that also constitute communication strategies: media politics, discourse of resisting, educa-tional shares, and poetics of identity. In view of the privatization discourses of education and the attacks on its autonomy and its professionals, we understand #UERJResiste as a protag-onist with an important narrative to be disseminated, reflected, and discussed in the defense of the Brazilian Public University. Among the main contributions to this study are networked social movements from an ethnographic perspective of a public arena. We also highlight an understanding of strategic communication in the civic dynamics, rebounding the impor-tance of the autonomy of universities for democratic consolidation and citizen participation.
Angiographic Follow-Up for Small Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysm Treated by Endovascular Treatment : Follow-Up Plan and Long-Term Follow-Up Results

Objective : Although endovascular treatment for intracranial aneurysms is considered effective and safe, its durability is still debated. Also, few studies have described angiographic follow-up plan after endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysm, especially in ruptured cases. Hence, we report the long-term results of follow-up angiography protocol.Methods : Radiological records of 639 cases of coil embolization with ruptured aneurysms from March 2003 to December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who received treatment of a saccular aneurysm less than 7 mm resulted with near complete occlusion were included. Two hundred thirty-eight aneuryms which received the follow-up angiography at least once were enrolled. We classified four periods of follow-up as follows : post-treatment 1 year (defined as the first period), from 1 to 2 years (the second period), 2 to 5 years (the third period), and over 5 years (long-term).Results : We identified 14 cases (6.4%) of recurrence from 218 aneurysms in follow-up angiography in the first period. Among 143 aneurysms in the second period, five cases (3.5%) of recurrence were identified. There were no findings suspicious of recanalization in 97 patients in the third period. Of the total 238 cases, there were 19 recurrences, for a recurrence rate of 8.0%. Six (31.6%) out of 19 recurrences showed a tendency toward repeat recurrences even after additional treatment. Twenty-eight received long-term follow-up over 5 years and there was no recurrence.Conclusion : Most of the recurrence were found during the first and the second year. We suggest that at least one digital subtraction angiography examination may be necessary around post-treatment 2 years, especially in ruptured cases. If the angiographic results are favorable at 2 years post-treatment, long-term result should be favorable.

Muitas organizações hoje utilizam o conceito de gestão da diversidade como um diferencial estratégico para torná-las mais competitivas no mercado altamente competitivo. Colaboradores com características diversificadas nos âmbitos cultural, étnico, de gênero, entre outras, em contraste ao padrão histórico de contratações das organizações, têm ganhado presença nas empresas brasileiras.  Desse modo, este trabalho tem como principal objetivo realizar uma revisão narrativa a respeito de como se dá a administração da diversidade nas organizações do Brasil e como esse tema pode contribuir tanto para uma mudança na questão do respeito às diferenças no ambiente de trabalho como para gerar melhoria no desempenho das organizações. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida por meio de uma análise bibliográfica sobre alguns trabalhos desenvolvidos sobre a gestão da diversidade nas empresas. Como principais conclusões temos que houve avanços na implantação de programas de gestão da diversidade nas empresas analisadas mas, contudo, as ações implementadas são ainda incipientes, demandando maiores estudos para um melhor desenvolvimento do tema nas organizações. No caso da diversidade como prática administrativa vemos que as pesquisas são insuficientes nas empresas. No tocante à gestão da diversidade relacionada à questão racial e de pessoas com deficiência, vê-se que há uma participação ainda pequena desses profissionais no ambiente de trabalho e em cargos de liderança, demandando mais programas de inclusão. Em relação a desigualdade social, exclusão educacional e aprendizagem organizacional, verificou-se avanço, contudo, a desigualdade continua presente. Já com relação à discriminação de gênero, apesar do aumeto participação feminina, as desigualdades tiveram pouca redução.

Biochemical changes as enzymatic defense system of phenanthrene exposure in olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus.
Authors: Jee J-H , Kang J-C
Published: August 2022

The objective of this study was to investigate the early biological response in the olive flounder exposed to sub-lethal concentrations of waterborne phenanthrene (0.5, 1 or 2 μM). The fish were exposed for 4 weeks and we analyzed their enzymatic defense system, antioxidant and phase II enzyme activities, to evaluate the chronic exposure toxicity of phenanthrene. Waterborne phenanthrene affected antioxidant enzymes and glutathione-mediated detoxification as an enzyme defense system. Hepatic, gill and kidney glutathione reductase as well as glutathione S-transferase, and catalase activities were markedly elevated after two or four weeks of exposure. These enzyme activities of the olive flounder, Paralichthys olivaceus, seem to be a convenient approach for monitoring pollution in coastal areas against polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon pollution including phenanthrene.
The comparison of Ca2+/CaM-independent and Ca2+/CaM-dependent phosphorylation of myosin light chains by MLCK.

The main regulatory mechanism of smooth muscle contraction involves Ca2+/calmodulin (CaM)-dependent phosphorylation of myosin (CDPM), by myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). It is also known that the increase in intracellular Ca2+ and phosphorylation of myosin occurs within a short time under physiological conditions, but the muscle tension may persist for a longer period of time. However, the mechanism of this phenomenon is still not clear. We hypothesize that MLCK also phosphorylates myosin in a Ca2+/CaM-independent manner (CIPM). The difference between CIPM and CDPM are as follows. Firstly, the extent of CIPM by MLCK was temperature-independent, whereas CDPM by MLCK was apparently decreasing with increasing temperature. Secondly, in contrast to the decreased extent of CDPM, the prolongation of incubation time did not decrease the extent of CIPM. Thirdly, a high concentration of K＋ influences CIPM less than CDPM. Furthermore, the MLCK inhibitor ML-9 significantly inhibited CDPM by MLCK but not CIPM by MLCK. Lastly, arachidonic acid selectively increased CIPM by MLCK but not CDPM by MLCK. Finally, the activity of Mg2+-ATPase of myosin followed the sequence as this: CDPM > CIPM > unphosphorylated myosin. Our results revealed some primary features of CIPM by MLCK.

The important role of APOAV gene variants in determination of plasma triglyceride levels has been shown in many population studies. Recently, an influence of APOAV T-1131>C polymorphism on C-reactive protein (CRP) in young Korean males has been reported. We have therefore analyzed a putative association between T-1131>C, Ser19>Trp and Val153>Met APOAV variants (PCR and restriction analysis) and CRP concentrations in 1119 Caucasian males, aged between 28 and 67 years (49.2±10.8 years). The frequency of C allele carriers was lower in Caucasians than in Koreans (15.5 % vs. 46.2 %). CRP levels did not differ between T/T homozygotes (n=946, 1.61±2.05 mg/l) and carriers of the C allele (n=173, 1.67±1.95 mg/l). Thus, in contrast to Korean males, T-1131>C APOAV variant has no effect on plasma concentrations of CRP in a large group of Caucasian males. Other APOAV variants (Ser19>Trp and Val153>Met) did not also influence plasma concentrations of CRP. APOAV variants are unlikely to be an important genetic determinant of plasma CRP concentrations in Caucasian males.
