This research aims to analyze and determine the application of business ethics in the Bakery small business in Sumenep Regency. This study uses qualitative analysis methods, to obtain information carefully with in-depth interview techniques. Observation technique with direct observation in the field is used to support the results of research. The application of business ethics is examined in terms of ethical values / morality such as fairness, trust and honesty of the products, customers and employees of the Bakery small business. The study was conducted at Anita Bakery's small business in Sumenep.The results showed that the application of business ethics by Anita Bakery's small businesses in terms of trust and honesty in the product was quite good. This is evidenced by the level of customer loyalty that still persists. The application of business ethics in terms of fairness, trust and honesty towards customer service is quite good, it can be seen from the less complaints, the absence of negative word of mouth communication about the company and consumers are still loyal to the product. The application of business ethics in terms of fairness, trust and honesty towards employees is quite good, this can be seen from the number of employees who last long working in this company. However, it still needs to be considered in the application of business ethics to employees, because the company has not implemented fairness employee recruitment.
Novel use of XRF in the adsorption processes for the direct analysis of cadmium and silver in absorbent Na-alginate beads
Authors: Jebril Nadia Mahmoud Tawfiq Jebril 
Published: December 2020

The Na-alginate bead is commonly used in biotechnology fields such as adsorption due to ion exchange between Ca and Na with elements. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDX) has proven to be a comparative method in the detections of these adsorbed elements, but the un-flat forming area of beads that can introduce impossible of the detection of element adsorbed. In contrast, X-ray fluorescence (XRF) documents analysis of elements, direct examination, which may analysis the adsorbents of elements. Here, this Study evaluated the possibility by using XRF for the direct analysis for examples of Cd and Ag in a bench stand. This Study compared this to commonly used SEM-EDX and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) approaches for Cd and Ag analyses. Overall, novel use of XRF provided precise analyses of the concentrations of Cd and Ag adsorbed within Na-alginate bead and revealed analyses not determined the concentrations in standard SEM-EDX or previously established in other studies of Na-alginate beads. In addition, this Study shows that XRF may be employed in different fields in biotechnology to analysis the concentrations regarding the elemental adsorption of Na-alginate beads and demonstrate the potential for XRF to monitor the procedures underpinning biotechnology sectors.
Reduced Spatial Resolution MRI Suffices to Image and Quantify Drought Induced Embolism Formation in Trees
Authors: Meixner Marco , Foerst Petra , Windt Carel 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is uniquely suited to non-invasively and continuously monitor embolism formation in trees. Depending on the MRI method used, quantitative parameter maps of water content and MRI signal relaxation behavior can be generated. The ability to measure dynamic differences in water content and relaxation behavior can be used to detect xylem embolism formation, even if xylem conduits are too small to be spatially resolved. This is especially advantageous when using affordable small-scale low-field MRI scanners. The amount of signal that can be obtained from an object strongly depends on the strength of the magnetic field of the imager’s magnet. Imaging at lower resolutions thus would allow to reduce the cost, size and weight of the MRI scanner and to shorten image acquisition times.Results: We investigated how much spatial resolution can be sacrificed without losing the ability to monitor embolism formation in coniferous softwood (spruce, Picea abies) and diffuse porous beech (Fagus sylvatica). Saplings of both species were bench dehydrated, while they were continuously imaged at stepwise decreasing spatial resolutions. Imaging was done by means of a small-scale MRI device, utilizing image matrix sizes of 128×128, 64×64 and 32×32 pixels at a constant FOV of 19 and 23 mm, respectively. While images at the lowest resolutions (pixel sizes 0.59×0.59 mm and 0.72×0.72 mm) were no longer sufficient to resolve finer details of the stem anatomy, they did permit an approximate localization of embolism formation and the generation of accurate vulnerability curves. Conclusions: When using MRI, spatial resolution can be sacrificed without losing the ability to visualize and quantify embolism formation. Imaging at lower spatial resolution to monitor embolism formation has two advantages. Firstly, the acquisition time per image can be reduced dramatically. This enables continuous imaging at high time resolution, which may be beneficial to monitor rapid dynamics of embolism formation. Secondly, if the requirements for spatial resolution are relaxed, much simpler MRI devices can be used. This has the potential to make non-invasive MR imaging of embolism formation much more affordable and more widely available.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Determining whether the needs and preferences of older adults are being met by new ‘ageing in place’ and ‘consumer directed’ care’ policies presents methodological challenges.Methods: This study explored how a cascading methodology, offering different supports as needed, promoted assessment of care related quality of life that was inclusive of home care services users with cognitive and physical disabilities. Multiple tools from the Adult Social Care Outcomes Toolkit (ASCOT) were tested in a sample of older adults living at home in one geographic region in NSW (Australia). Results: Both physical assistance, emotional support and an ‘Easy Read’ format facilitated the inclusion of those with greater physical and cognitive impairments. Importantly, their inclusion identified their greater unmet needs in seven out of eight quality of life domains. Conclusion: The adoption of more inclusive social research methodologies is critical to understanding if shifts in aged and social care policies support quality of life for the most vulnerable.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: Amino acid transporters (AATs) plays an essential roles in growth and development of plants, including amino acids long-range transport, seed germination, quality formation, responsiveness to pathogenic bacteria and abiotic stress by modulating the transmembrane transfer of amino acids. In this study, we performed a genome-wide screening to analyze the AAT genes in foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.), especially those associated with quality formation and abiotic stresses response.Results: A total number of 94 AAT genes were identified and divided into 12 subfamilies by their sequence characteristics and phylogenetic relationship. A large number (58/94, 62%) of AAT genes in foxtail millet were expanded via gene duplication, involving 13 tandem and 12 segmental duplication events. Tandemly duplicated genes had a significant impact on their functional differentiation via sequence variation, structural variation and expression variation. Further comparison in multiple species showed that in addition to paralogous genes, the expression variations of the orthologous AAT genes also contributed to their functional differentiation. The transcriptomic comparison of two millet cultivars verified the direct contribution of the AAT genes such as SiAAP1, SiAAP8, and SiAUX2 in the formation of grain quality. In addition, the qRT-PCR analysis suggested that several AAT genes continuously responded to diverse abiotic stresses, such as SiATLb1, SiANT1. Finally, combined with the previous studies and analysis on sequence characteristics and expression patterns of AAT genes, the possible functions of the foxtail millet AAT genes were predicted.Conclusion: This study for the first time reported the evolutionary features, functional differentiation, roles in the quality formation and response to abiotic stresses of foxtail millet AAT gene family, thus providing a framework for further functional analysis of SiAAT genes, and also contributing to the applications of AAT genes in improving the quality and resistance to abiotic stresses of foxtail millet, and other cereal crops.

Abstract
BackgroundOphioglossum vulgatum Linn. (Ophioglossaceae) (OV), which is traditionally used on wounds and burns, enjoys a reputation as the king of medicine in Taiwan. There are few studies on its role in gastrointestinal diseases. Our aim was to assess the antidiarrheal and spasmolytic effect of the ethanol whole plant extract of Ophioglossum vulgatum (EWOV).MethodsStudy was conducted from June 2018 to July 2019. The chemical constituents of EWOV were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In vivo, the antidiarrheal activity of EWOV (125, 250 and 500 mg/kg; orally) in castor oil-induced Kun Ming mice was evaluated. In vitro, the effect of EWOV (0.01-10 mg/mL) on the spontaneous contraction of isolated rabbit jejunum smooth muscle was studied. Verapamil was the positive control group in both vivo and vitro studies. The jejunum stripes were pre-contracted by ACh (10-5 M) and KCl (60 mM) which could induce the jejunum spasm. The possible spasmolytic effect was analyzed in the pretreatment of the jejunum preparations with EWOV (0.3, 1 mg/mL) or verapamil (0.03, 0.1 µM) in Ca2+-free and high-K+ (60 mM) solution containing EDTA.ResultsEWOV (250 and 500 mg/kg) exhibited antidiarrheal effect. EWOV (0.01-10 mg/mL) inhibited the spontaneous and ACh/KCl-induced contraction with an EC50 value of 1.46 (0.89-2.04), 1.06 (0.63-1.48) and 0.48 (0.29-0.67), and it shifted the concentration-response curves of CaCl2 to right with decreased in max, similar to verapamil. ConclusionsEWOV has significant antidiarrheal and spasmolytic effect, possibly by mediating calcium channel blocking activity, this provides the pharmacological basis for use in gastrointestinal disorders.
Assessing hospital cost data quality in the quest for a cost-effective health care
Authors: Malmmose Margit , Lydersen Jogvan Pauli 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: The objective is to examine hospital cost accounts in order to understand the foundation upon which large-scale health care decisions are based. More specifically, the aim is to add insights to accounting practices and their applicability towards a newly establish value-based agenda with a focus on patient-level cost data. Methods: We apply a cost accounting framework developed to position and understand hospital cost practices in relation to government requirements. Allocated cost account data from 2015 from all Danish hospitals were collected and analysed. Results: We find exceedingly aggregated department-level data that are not tied to patient information. We further observe variations in integrated cost centre definitions and allocation methods, as well as a melding of both overhead and indirect costs with direct costs at the department level. Additionally, we find large structural variances within hospitals. Conclusions: The findings raise concern about the cost accounts’ ability to provide valid information in health care decision-making due to a lack of transparency. Additionally, standardisation of costs stemming from hospitals with large organisational differences has significant implications on the fairness of resource allocation and decision-making at large. Thus, for hospitals to become more cost efficient, a substantially more detailed cost account system is essential.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background: The tumorigenesis and development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a process involving multiple factors. The COMMDs family proteins were reported to play important roles in various disease and cancers including HCC. We previously found COMMD7 acted as a HCC-promotion factor; however, further understanding on COMMD7 was needed. We conducted these bioinformatics analysis for the purpose of comprehensive understanding of the functional role of COMMD7 in HCC.Methods: The bioinformatics analysis of COMMD7 were launched by online platforms including KEGG, GEPIA, cBioportal, Gene Ontology and The Kaplan-Meier plotter. Data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) were downloaded, and the data analysis and processing were conducted by RStudio (version 1.3.959) software.Results: The expression profile results of COMMD7 in TCGA and GTEx database suggested that COMMD7 expressed highly in liver tumor tissues and positively related with poorer prognosis (p<0.01); COMMD7 also contributed to the early development of HCC as its higher expression resulted in progression from stage I to stage III (p<0.01). Based on our previous studies, COMMD7 may target NF-κB signaling and CXCL10 to enhance the proliferation of hepatoma cells so that promoting the development of HCC. Conclusions：This study updates the current studies about the newly recognized roles of COMMD7 in the progression of HCC, summarizing the research progress and prospects of COMMD7 comprehensively, offering an outlook for the future investigation and targeted therapy of HCC.

Authors: Alsop Tahlia , Williams Katrina , Gomersall Sjaan 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Background Despite improvements in the medical management of myasthenia gravis (MG) in recent years, patients continue to report poor health and wellbeing outcomes such as high levels of fatigue, reduced quality of life, walking limitation and reduced balance confidence. Physical activity has been shown to be associated with these outcomes in other populations, however there has been limited research in adults with MG. The primary aim of this study was to describe physical activity and sedentary behaviour in adults with MG and the secondary aim was to explore associations between these behaviours and fatigue, quality of life, balance confidence and walking limitation. Methods A self-report online survey was used to assess physical activity, sedentary behaviour, fatigue, quality of life, balance confidence and walking limitation in 85 community-dwelling adults with MG. Multiple linear regression was used to examine associations between these variables and descriptive statistics were used to analyse participant characteristics, physical activity and sedentary behaviour. Results Most participants (n=53, 62.4%) reported sufficient physical activity to meet public health guidelines, however participants also reported an average of 9 h/day of sedentary behaviour (mean 8.9±3.5). Physical activity and fatigue (R2=0.196), quality of life (R2=0.330), walking limitation (R2=0.305) and balance confidence (R2=0.304) were significantly (p<0.05) and positively correlated, with no associations found for sedentary behaviour. When patterns of physical activity and sedentary behaviour were combined, greater fatigue (R2=0.213), lower quality of life (R2=0.364), increased walking limitation (R2=0.341) and lower balance confidence (R2=0.279) was observed in patients who had greater physical activity levels and lower sedentary time. Conclusions Physical activity and sedentary behaviour is associated with favorable health and wellbeing outcomes in adults with MG. Findings highlight that physical activity and sedentary behaviour may be possible intervention targets, however longitudinal and intervention studies are needed to determine causality.

Published: December 2020

Abstract
Objective: Cognitive interventions may be effective in weight loss. The purpose of this study was to assess if cognitive reappraisal (CR; reframing the meaning of a stimulus in order to change the resulting emotional response), can reduce food attentional bias (FAB) using the Visual Dot Probe (VDP) paradigm. Method: 126 participants (age 27±5.8) were randomly assigned either to a CR or to a control (CN) group. After assessing baseline VDP levels for FAB, participants either wrote sentences that discourage eating fattening food or neutral sentences. Next, all participants performed the VDP post intervention. Participants also self-reported on disturbed eating behaviors and their height and weight were charted. We hypothesized that CR would reduce FAB and that disturbed eating would moderate the association between group and FAB. Results: FAB decreased post intervention, specifically in the CR group. The bulimia sub-scale showed an interaction between bulimic eating, time and group. Among those who were high on the bulimia scale, the CR group showed lower FAB post-intervention compared to the CN group. Discussion: This study suggests that CR may decrease the attentional bias toward high-calorie food compared to other strategies in the general population and among people with high bulimia measures, in particular.

Abstract
BackgroundSeveral studies have shown that during COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, emotional symptoms increased in the general population. Less is known in youths. MethodsWe surveyed a sample of Italian adolescents during the strictest quarantine period and assessed the effects of socio-demographic and psychological factors on current emotional symptoms. A convenient sample of 326 adolescents (age range 14-19 years) participated in a web-based survey. We collected data on several socio demographic and psychological information (summarized into three indexes: environmental context, changes in lifestyle, and worries about infection) and psychopathological symptoms (previous psychopathological status, current anxiety and depressive symptoms). ResultsDescriptive analysis showed that adolescents have experienced quarantine under very different conditions; they reported 47.5% and 14.1% of anxiety and depressive symptoms, respectively. Regression analyses indicated that previous psychopathological status and worries about infection are linked to anxiety and that female gender, previous psychopathological status (moderated by change in lifestyle), worse environmental context are linked to depression. ConclusionThis study indicates that, facing the COVID-19 pandemic and its related safety measures, adolescents show relevant emotional symptoms and therefore should be monitored, assessed and supported.

Abstract
BackgroundRespiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of viral respiratory tract infection in young children and elderly worldwide. Sodium tanshinone IIA sulfonate (STS) is reported to have antiviral effect on some viruses. However, the effect of STS on RSV replication is still unknown. MethodsTo investigate the effect of STS on RSV replication, RSV infected A549 cell model was first established and treated with different concentration of STS (12.5，25，50，100 and 200μg/ml).CPE, virus titer and RSV N protein were detected. Cytotoxicity of STS on A549 cells were performed. Then Different cell lines (16HBE and BEAS-2B) were also used to investigate the effect of STS on RSV replication. The Type I-IFN-associated protein (IFN-α, IFN-β and IP-10) were also detected by ELISA, and IFN-deficient Vero cells were also used to investigate the role of IFN response in STS-modulated RSV replication.ResultsLow concentration of STS potently promoted RSV replication in vitro by increasing virus titers and the expression of RSV N protein, and 25μg/ml STS reached the maximum effect. While high concentration of STS (200μg/ml) effectively inhibited virus replication but it may due to the effect of cytotoxicity. STS treatment (25μg/ml) also showed the same effect in 16HBE and BEAS-2B cells. STS treatment did not impaired Type I interferon (IFN) induction and also promoted RSV replication in IFN-deficient Vero cells.Conclusion﻿STS promoted RSV replication in vitro by IFN-independent mechanism. Our results indicated that STS treatment should be avoided in clinical RSV-related diseases.
