Authors: Frielink N. , Schuengel C. , Embregts P. J. C. M. 
Published: February 2021

AbstractBackgroundProviding professional support for people with mild to borderline intellectual disabilities (IDs) is supposed to support their autonomous participation in society and, in turn, enhance their well‐being and quality of life. However, the motivation for seeking support may differ for people with mild to borderline IDs, varying in the extent to which the person's autonomy is self‐determined. The present study tested the association between different types of motivation for seeking support and well‐being.MethodAdults with mild to borderline IDs (N = 154) participated in a cross‐sectional survey. Researchers administered the Self‐Regulation Questionnaire – Support – II (SRQ‐S‐II) and a life satisfaction questionnaire. To determine the test–retest reliability of the SRQ‐S‐II, 30 participants completed a follow‐up questionnaire.ResultsThe motivations cited by people with mild to borderline IDs for seeking support ranged from amotivation to intrinsic motivation. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the model explained 56.6% of the variance, with intrinsic motivation (β = 0.361, P < 0.001) and identified motivation (β = 0.381, P = 0.001) proving to be significant predictors in terms of explaining the highest percentage of variance in well‐being. Amotivation (β = −0.247, P = 0.004) and introjected motivation (β = −0.145, P = 0.03) contributed significantly to the model with negative beta coefficients. Finally, reliability measures (Cronbach's alphas, MacDonald's omegas and test–retest reliabilities) indicated that all types of motivation for seeking support could be reliably assessed.ConclusionsThe results of the present study showed that people with mild to borderline IDs displayed the full range of types of motivations for seeking support and, moreover, that it was associated with well‐being. Studying these motivational states, and increasing our awareness of what motivates this population to seek support, can aid the design of more effective support that respects self‐determination and well‐being. The SRQ‐S‐II is thus an important instrument for understanding the role of support in promoting well‐being.
Core Outcome Sets Relevant to Maternity Service Users: A Scoping Review
Authors: Slavin Valerie , Creedy Debra K. , Gamble Jenny 
Published: February 2021

IntroductionVariation in outcomes reported in maternity‐related clinical trials and practice stifles data synthesis and contributes to ineffective or harmful treatments and interventions. Variation can be addressed using core outcome sets (COSs), minimum agreed sets of outcomes that should be measured and reported in all clinical trials in a specific area of health or health care. This scoping review identified studies that developed maternity‐related COSs; evaluated the extent, scope, quality, and consistency of outcomes across similar COSs; and identified current gaps in evidence.MethodsA multifaceted search of 2 COS registers (Core Outcome Measures in Effectiveness Trials, Core Outcomes in Women's and Newborn Health), the International Consortium for Health Outcomes Measurement website, electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL), and hand search was conducted. Published, English‐language studies describing maternal and neonatal COSs for any health condition and published from inception to January 2020 were included. COS development process was evaluated against recently published COS Standards for Development: scope, stakeholder involvement, and consensus process.ResultsThirty‐two articles relating to 26 COSs were included (maternal: 18 articles that addressed 17 COSs; neonatal: 14 articles that addressed 9 COSs) and covered a range of obstetric and neonatal conditions. COSs were published between 2006 and 2020, 58% since 2017. Maternal COSs included more outcomes (median, 17; range, 50) than neonatal COSs (median, 8; range, 20). Overlap in COSs was seen for maternity care and gestational diabetes. Overlap in outcomes was seen across similar COSs, which were mostly inconsistent or poorly defined. No included COS met all minimum standards for development. Two COSs extended recommendations for how and when to measure outcomes.DiscussionGrowth in COS development in the last 3 years signifies increasing commitment to address variation and improve data synthesis. Although the quality of the development process has improved in the last 3 years, there is a need for improvement. This article presents an urgent need to minimize overlap in outcomes and standardize outcome measurement, case definitions, and timing of measurement between COSs.
INVESTIGATING ALTMETRIC INFORMATION FOR THE TOP 1000 JOURNALS FROM HANDELSBLATT RANKING IN ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS STUDIES
Authors: Nuredini Kaltrina 
Published: February 2021

AbstractIn this study, the top 1000 journals from Handelsblatt ranking (often used in German‐speaking countries) in Economics (E) and Business Studies (BS) as an extension of the two previous studies from Nuredini and Peters are explored. Moderate shares of articles from E and BS journals for publication years 2011–2018 are found in Mendeley (47%) and Altmetric.com (around 44%). This study shows that altmetric information is significantly higher in coverage for articles published between 2016 and 2017. The top 5 most used altmetric sources for E and BS journals are Twitter, News, Facebook, Blogs, and Policy documents. Top highly ranked journals (with classes A+ and A) in E from Handelsblatt ranking are highly mentioned in Altmetric.com, making them also popular in social media platforms (i.e., attention sources). Mendeley counts are positively correlated with citations both at the article and journal level.

Published: February 2021

AimThis study aimed to assess the relationship between the family environment and behaviours with objective child sleep quality.MethodsTwenty‐four children (aged 2–5 years) and their parents participated. Child sleep was assessed by accelerometer. Health of the family environment was quantified using the Family Nutrition and Physical Activity Screening Tool (FNPA). Exact Wilcoxon rank sum tests and linear regression were used to determine associations between FNPA scores and child sleep.ResultsHealthier Total FNPA, Physical Activity FNPA, and Sleep Routine scores were associated with earlier bedtime. Healthier Sleep Routine score was associated with more total minutes of sleep per night. Healthier screen time‐related FNPA construct scores were associated with earlier bedtime.ConclusionsA composite score of family environment and behaviours, including physical activity‐ and nutrition‐related constructs, was related to child sleep quality. Focus should be placed on the obesogenic family environment and healthy sleep routines to promote overall health among pre‐school‐aged populations.

AbstractMaize lethal necrosis (MLN) disease caused by double infection of Maize chlorotic mottle virus (MCMV) and Sugarcane mosaic virus (SCMV) has become a major maize production constraint in Ethiopia. A field survey was conducted in areas where MLN infection was reported to identify naturally infected alternate hosts. MCMV host range was also studied by artificially inoculating various weed species in the greenhouse to determine potential alternate hosts. Using the serological method of double‐antibody sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (DAS‐ELISA) test, MCMV was detected in 23 (20.35%), and SCMV was detected in 4 (3.53%) of 113 MLN symptomatic samples collected from the field, while combined infection of both viruses was detected in 11 (9.73%) of the samples. Poaceae family had the highest number of grass species that were alternate hosts for MLN causing viruses. Digitaria sanguinalis, Phalaris paradoxa, Oplismenus hirtellus, Echinocloa colona, Cynodon nlemfuensis, Pennisetum purpureum from Poaceae and Cyperus cyperoids from Cyperaceae family were naturally infected by MCMV. Cyperus rotundus, sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) and sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) were infected by both MCMV and SCMV under natural field conditions. In addition, seed transmission study was conducted using growing‐on tests to determine the potential of seed transmission and its role in the spread of MLN. Overall mean seed to the seedling transmission rate was 0.073% with a range of 0 to 0.17% among 20 different maize varieties studied. Fourteen maize genotypes had some levels of seed transmission (0.03%–0.017%) for MCMV, whereas, SCMV seed transmission was observed only in a single plant of one genotype, with an overall mean of only 0.003%. Seed transmission rates of the viruses were influenced by the seed lot and maize varieties used. The wide ranges of natural and experimental alternate hosts and seed transmissibility of MLN causing viruses suggest that the viruses play a greater role in MLN epidemiology.

AbstractCognitive impairment, particularly prefrontal function, has been reported in patients with restless legs syndrome. However, working memory performance in patients with restless legs syndrome remains uncertain. The present study aimed to examine working memory performance in patients with restless legs syndrome by investigating electroencephalography theta‐band oscillations within task‐relevant brain regions and the synchronization among oscillations during a working memory task. Twelve female idiopathic patients with restless legs syndrome and 12 female healthy controls participated in this study. Nineteen‐channel electroencephalography data were recorded while participants performed a Sternberg working memory task. We analysed event‐related theta‐band activity and interregional theta‐band phase synchrony during the memory retrieval phase. The spatial pattern of theta‐band phase synchrony was quantified using graph theory measures, including the clustering coefficient, characteristic path length, and small‐world propensity. Considerable increases in theta‐band activity and theta‐band phase synchrony were observed at 600–700 ms in controls and at 650–750 ms in restless legs syndrome subjects after the probe item was presented. During this period, induced theta‐band activity showed lower with borderline significance in the restless legs syndrome subjects than in the controls regardless of channel location (F4,88 = 3.92, p = .06). Theta‐band phase synchrony between the frontal and posterior regions was significantly reduced in the restless legs syndrome subjects. Inefficiency in both global and local networks in the restless legs syndrome subjects was revealed by the decreased small‐world propensity (t22 = 2.26, p = .03). Small‐world propensity was negatively correlated with restless legs syndrome severity (r = −.65, p = .02). Our findings suggest that patients with restless legs syndrome have multiple deficits in cognitive processes, including attentional allocation, evaluation of incoming stimuli, and memory manipulation of encoded information during a working memory task. Abnormal local theta‐band neural synchrony and global theta‐band neural synchrony may underlie the neurophysiological mechanism of the working memory dysfunction associated with restless legs syndrome.

SummaryCommunal buildings have been reported from a number of early Neolithic sites from the Levant and Anatolia, but none were known from the central Zagros. Here we report on the recent excavations at Asiab, Kermanshah province, Iran, and argue that the principal feature found during Robert Braidwood’s excavation at the site in 1960 should be interpreted as an example of a communal building. We discuss the results of the previous and recent excavations, highlight the key features of this building, and the implications for our understanding of the early Neolithic in the ‘eastern wing’ of the Fertile Crescent.

AbstractA 4‐day‐old, 3.3 kg infant presented with suspected intestinal malrotation, necessitating emergent diagnostic laparoscopy. Intra‐operatively, the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‐CoV‐2) came back positive. This is the first case report of emergency surgery and anesthesia in a positive SARS‐CoV‐2 newborn. This report highlights a neonate with an incidental positive SARS‐CoV‐2 test, no known exposure history, negative polymerase chain reaction maternal testing, and absence of respiratory symptoms who required modified pressure control ventilation settings to adequately ventilate with the high‐efficiency particulate air filter in situ.
Direct Assembly in Aqueous Solutions of Stable Chlorophyllide Complexes with Type II Water‐soluble Chlorophyll Proteins

Published: February 2021

AbstractWater‐soluble chlorophyll‐binding proteins (WSCPs) from Brassicaceae constitute a small family of non‐photosynthetic proteins that may provide a useful benchmark and model system for studying molecular aspects of chlorophyll‐protein interactions such as the tuning of absorption and emission spectra, and binding selectivity. WSCP apo‐proteins are readily expressed by recombinant DNA techniques and can be assembled in vitro with natural and synthetic chlorophyll derivatives. The complexes with native chlorophylls are exceptionally stable toward thermal dissociation and protein denaturation due to hydrophobic interactions with the chlorophyll’s phytyl chains that stabilize the core of the WSCP tetrameric complexes. However, assembly requires the use of detergents or water‐in‐oil emulsions to introduce the hydrophobic pigments into the water‐soluble apo‐proteins. Here, we explore the direct assembly of recombinant WSCPs with the water‐soluble phytyl‐free chlorophyll analogue chlorophyllide a in aqueous solutions. We show that the complexes formed by mixing chlorophyllide and WSCP apo‐proteins are exclusively tetrameric, and while they lack the extreme thermostability of the respective chlorophyll complexes, they are still thermostable up to around 60°C. Their absorption and CD spectra are very similar to the chlorophyll complexes albeit slight peak shifts and broadening of the bands indicate variations in pigment and protein conformations, and less rigid structures. Simplifying the assembly process of WSCPs opens new possibilities for their use in modelling natural chlorophyll‐protein complexes, and as templates for designing novel artificial protein‐pigment complexes.
Stratigraphic architecture of climate influenced hyperpycnal mouth bars
Authors: Melstrom Ellen M. , Birgenheier Lauren P. 
Published: February 2021

AbstractInvestigation of the process sedimentology of mouth bar deposition demonstrates a link to the seasonality associated with abrupt climate warming events during the early Eocene. While a relationship between fluvial sedimentology and climate events has been established previously, such documentation within mouth bar deposits is missing. Deltaic mouth bars of the Douglas Creek Member of the Green River Formation in the Uinta Basin record a fluvial–lacustrine response to abrupt warming events associated with the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum. This study ties the observed sedimentology of these mouth bars and their deposition via hyperpycnal currents to these climatic events. Detailed measured sections and analysis of stratigraphic architecture of outcrops in the eastern Uinta Basin document the sedimentology and stratigraphy of delta mouth bar complexes. Internal structures include climbing ripple cross‐lamination, convolute bedding, and those associated with transitional to upper‐flow regime bedforms such as planar laminations with normal grading and convex‐upward stratifications. The dominance of upper‐flow regime bedforms as well as interpreted long run out distances suggests that density currents deposited mouth bars tens of kilometres from the shoreline under Froude supercritical flow conditions. The highly seasonal climate regime of the early Eocene, capable of producing high‐sediment yield flooding events, likely provided the mechanism for hyperpycnal current formation within a relatively freshwater lake and controlled the timing of mouth bar deposition. Discrete lacustrine carbonate‐dominated packages separate periods of episodic fluvial discharge, recording reduced fluvial deposition between warming events. The established link between the occurrence of upper‐flow regime bedforms and the timing of climate warming events suggests that these climate conditions may be important for their formation and preservation. The study has implications for expanding existing mouth bar depositional models to include climatically controlled upper‐flow regime bedforms.

Published: February 2021

AbstractObjectiveThis study compared cognitive control (working memory, interference control, perseveration) and cognitive emotion regulation among Iranian women with depression who had attempted suicide, had only suicidal ideation, and healthy controls.MethodParticipants (N = 75) completed a clinical interview, cognitive control tasks, and the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire.ResultsThose with suicidal ideation or previous attempts had poorer cognitive control and cognitive emotion regulation than controls. Furthermore, those who had attempted suicide had poorer cognitive control and reported greater use of self‐blame, rumination, and catastrophizing, and less use of acceptance, than those with suicidal ideation only. There was an indirect effect of cognitive control deficits on suicidality through cognitive emotion regulation (self‐blame, acceptance, rumination, catastrophizing).ConclusionsExploring these cognitive deficits and difficulties can assist in further understanding the risk factors for suicidality and improve targeted interventions. This is of particular relevance in Iran where the need for policies and interventions targeting the prevention of suicide has been identified.

AbstractTo understand the role of family emotional socialization across cultural contexts, this research examined the associations between family emotional expressiveness and early adolescents' emotions in the United States and China. Two times over the course of 1 year, 566 American (n = 331) and Chinese (n = 235) adolescents (age range: 11–14 years) reported on their family members' emotional expressiveness, which was further categorized into three facets (i.e., positive, negative dominant, and negative submissive family expressiveness), and their own experience of positive and negative emotions. In both countries, positive family expressiveness (e.g., expressing excitement) was associated with adolescents' experience of positive emotions 6 months later, above and beyond their prior positive emotional experience. A between‐country difference was evident in the association between positive family expressiveness and adolescents' experience of negative emotions, such that positive family expressiveness was associated with dampened negative emotions 6 months later among American but not Chinese adolescents. Negative dominant family expressiveness (e.g., expressing anger) was not associated with adolescents' emotional experience 6 months later in both countries. However, negative submissive family expressiveness (e.g., expressing sadness) foreshadowed reduced positive emotional experience only among American adolescents. Findings highlight the importance of culture in understanding the implications of family expressiveness for adolescents' emotional experiences.

AbstractHow does architecture operate as a security technology? This contribution sets out how reflexive security research and urban studies approach built environments as political inclusion and exclusion instruments. It first presents how this role is understood to operate in the respective scholarly fields, and then illustrates its ambivalent operation with two mini‐case studies centering on Bogotá and Zürich. In doing so, the contribution seeks to familiarize readers with architecture‐oriented reflexive political analysis, and to draw out main lines of further investigation.
OsUEV1B, an Ubc enzyme variant protein, is required for phosphate homeostasis in rice

Published: February 2021

SUMMARYPhosphorus is a crucial macronutrient for plant growth and development. The mechanisms for maintaining inorganic phosphate (Pi) homeostasis in rice are not well understood. The ubiquitin‐conjugating enzyme variant protein OsUEV1B was previously found to interact with OsUbc13 and mediate lysine63‐linked polyubiquitination. In the present study, we found OsUEV1B was specifically inhibited by Pi deficiency, and was localized in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Both osuev1b mutant and OsUEV1B‐RNA interference (RNAi) lines displayed serious symptoms of toxicity due to Pi overaccumulation. Some Pi starvation inducible and phosphate transporter genes were upregulated in osuev1b mutant and OsUEV1B‐RNAi plants in association with enhanced Pi acquisition, and representative Pi starvation responses, including stimulation of acid phosphatase activity and root hair growth, were also activated in the presence of sufficient Pi. A yeast two‐hybrid screen revealed an interaction between OsUEV1B and OsVDAC1, which was confirmed by bimolecular fluorescence complementation and firefly split‐luciferase complementation assays. OsVDAC1 encoded a voltage‐dependent anion channel protein localized in the mitochondria, and OsUbc13 was shown to interact with OsVDAC1 via yeast two‐hybrid and bimolecular fluorescence complementation assays. Under sufficient Pi conditions, similar to osuev1b, a mutation in OsVDAC1 resulted in significantly greater Pi concentrations in the roots and second leaves, improved acid phosphatase activity, and enhanced expression of the Pi starvation inducible and phosphate transporter genes compared with wild‐type DongJin, whereas overexpression of OsVDAC1 had the opposite effects. OsUEV1B or OsVDAC1 knockout reduced the mitochondrial membrane potential and adenosine triphosphate levels. Moreover, overexpression of OsVDAC1 in osuev1b partially restored its high Pi concentration to a level between those of osuev1b and DongJin. Our results indicate that OsUEV1B is required for rice phosphate homeostasis.
