Product differentiation and financial statement comparability
Authors: Cheng Mengyao 
Published: April 2021

AbstractThis study empirically examines whether and how product differentiation affects the comparability of financial statements. Product differentiation captures the dissimilarities in business environments and operations between a firm and its peers, which naturally affects the firm's accounting comparability. Product differentiation also represents an important dimension of product market competition, which may lead to either higher or lower financial statement comparability. Using a sample of 5351 non‐financial US firms over the period of 2000–2019, my results provide consistent evidence that product differentiation decreases financial statement comparability. The results on other dimensions of product market competition also consistently show that accounting comparability decreases as product market competition weakens.

AbstractObjectiveTo assess the participation of women in publications of dental journals with a high impact factor.MethodsArticles published in 2016, 2011, and 2006 in 10 dental journals chosen for their highest impact factors in each dental fields were included in this research. Articles‐related variables collected included the country of origin of each author, the type of study, and gender of the researchers. Gender was examined through PubMed, Scopus, ResearchGate, and respective affiliated institutions. Furthermore, a website designed to discover the gender of names was used when the previous alternatives were not conclusive. Forward stepwise Poisson regression models were used for data analysis.ResultsA total of 3365 studies were included in the first authorship analysis and 3398 in analysis related to last authorship. The prevalence of women as first authors was 37.2% (confidence interval (CI) 95% 34.5–37.5) and as last authors was 22.6% (CI 95% 21.3–23.9). Having a woman as the last author increased the presence of women in the first author position in scientific dental articles by 16% (prevalence ratio = 1.16, CI 95% [1.04–1.29]). The year of publication, journal, and region of the author were associated with an increase in the prevalence of women as last authors. From 2006 to 2016, the prevalence of women as last authors increased by 61%. Despite these trends, women were still underrepresented in science in the evaluated period.ConclusionsThere are meaningful gender inequalities in publications of scientific dental papers. Encouraging women to lead research groups can reduce the inequities observed in the present study.

AbstractThe current investigation was planned utilizing SEM, histological, and furthermore cytokeratin immunohistochemical to give a full depiction of skin of three reptiles species; Chalcides ocellatus (Scincidae), Uromastyx aegyptia aegyptia (Agamidae), and Psammophis schokari aegyptia (Colubridae) captured from Egypt with various ecological environment. Our SEM results showed different scales covered epidermis of three reptile's species with diverse surface microstructure. Overlapped rhomboid scales with numerous lenticular sense organs with numerous pores and oberhäutchen layer with microridges in C. ocellatus. In U. aegyptia, scales were overlapped elliptical‐shaped possess lens‐like sense structure with several scattered pits and oberhäutchen layer with polygonal outlined cells. While in P. schokari aegyptia, smooth scales flattened with two large dome‐shaped scale receptors/sensilla and lens‐like sense structure, moreover polygonal‐shaped micro‐ornamentation in scale hinge joints were observed. Histologically, skin of three species had outer epidermis with stratum germinativum, stratum corneum (α‐keratin, β‐keratin layer) capped by surface Oberhäutchen and inner dermis. Osteoderms were observed with dermis of C. ocellatus. There are marked variation within pigment cells types among examined species. Melanophores observed in dermal layer of C. ocellatus, while in U. aegyptia, three pigment cells in tegument dermis; melanophores, xanthophores, and iridophores whereas, P. schokari aegyptia had two forms of chromatophore cells (melanophores and iridophores) in dermis and few melanophores scattered between stratum germinativum cells. The highest cytokeratin immunostaining observed in epidermal cell layer of U. aegyptia aegyptia than two other species. Conclusion, dry scaly skin of reptiles reflects a great range of functional aspects and success to adapt with terrestrial life.

AbstractIL-26 is a newly discovered IL-10 cytokine family member mainly secreted by Th17 cells. However, the relationship between IL-26 and lung cancer remains unclear. The present study reported that IL-26 is involved in the production and promotion of malignant pleural effusion (MPE) for the first time. The concentrations of IL-26 and several Th17-related cytokines in MPE and peripheral blood (PB) from MPE patients were measured. IL-26, IL-10, and IL-6 were elevated in MPE compared to PB. The cell resource of IL-26 was primary Th17 cells measured by flow cytometry, whereas Tc17 cells and macrophages could also contribute to higher concentration of IL-26 in MPE. Abundant IL-6 and IL-23 in MPE could promote the frequency of IL-26 expressed by CD4+ T cells through phosphorylating STAT3 signaling pathway and promoting the expression of a specific Th17 lineage marker RORγt subsequently. IL-26 could selectively increase Th22 proportion through up-regulating the percentage of Ki-67 expressed by CD4+ T cells and the expression of IL-22 secreted by memory CD4+ T cells. In addition, IL-26 could decrease secretion of granzyme B. The tumor-killing activity of CD8+ T cells were inhibited as well when cocultured with malignant cells. Furthermore, the accumulation of IL-26 protein in MPE predicted poor patient survival. In summary, our results indicated that IL-26 was involved in the pathogenesis of MPE by exerting its impacts on both CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cells.

AbstractObesity is an independent risk factor for morbidity and mortality in response to influenza infection. However, the underlying mechanisms by which obesity impairs immunity are unclear. Herein, we investigated the effects of diet-induced obesity on pulmonary CD8+ T cell metabolism, cytokine production, and transcriptome as a potential mechanism of impairment during influenza virus infection in mice. Male C57BL/6J lean and obese mice were infected with sub-lethal mouse-adapted A/PR/8/34 influenza virus, generating a pulmonary anti-viral and inflammatory response. Extracellular metabolic flux analyses revealed pulmonary CD8+ T cells from obese mice, compared with lean controls, had suppressed oxidative and glycolytic metabolism at day 10 post-infection. Flow cytometry showed the impairment in pulmonary CD8+ T cell metabolism with obesity was independent of changes in glucose or fatty acid uptake, but concomitant with decreased CD8+GrB+IFNγ+ populations. Notably, the percent of pulmonary effector CD8+GrB+IFNγ+ T cells at day 10 post-infection correlated positively with total CD8+ basal extracellular acidification rate and basal oxygen consumption rate. Finally, next-generation RNA sequencing revealed complex and unique transcriptional regulation of sorted effector pulmonary CD8+CD44+ T cells from obese mice compared to lean mice following influenza infection. Collectively, the data suggest diet-induced obesity increases influenza virus pathogenesis, in part, through CD8+ T cell-mediated metabolic reprogramming and impaired effector CD8+ T cell function.

AbstractLymphocytes are essential for microbial immunity, tumor surveillance, and tissue homeostasis. However, the in vivo development and function of helper-like innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) in humans remain much less well understood than those of T, B, and NK cells. We monitored hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) to determine the kinetics of ILC development in both children and adults. It was found that, unlike NK cells, helper-like ILCs recovered slowly, mirroring the pattern observed for T cells, with normalization achieved at 1 year. The type of graft and the proportion of CD34+ cells in the graft did not significantly affect ILC reconstitution. As HSCT is often complicated by acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the potential role of ILC subsets in maintaining tissue integrity in these conditions was also analyzed. It was found that GVHD was associated with lower levels of activated and gut-homing NKp44+ ILCP, consistent with a non-redundant role of this ILC subset in preventing this life-threatening disorder in lymphopenic conditions.

AbstractThe prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) types varies geographically between various countries and different parts of the same country. The efficacy of the HPV vaccines is dependent on the prevalent HPV types. Here, we have studied the prevalence of high‐risk HPV (hrHPV) and its genotypes in women in our population. Cervical samples of 2443 women were screened for the presence of hrHPV using the careHPV system. To determine the HPV genotypes, viral DNA was isolated from the hrHPV‐positive samples, nested PCR was used to amplify the L1 hypervariable region, and was subjected to Sanger sequencing. The prevalence of hrHPV was found to be 2%. HPV16 (52%), HPV33 (40%), HPV18 (4%), HPV31 (2%), and HPV66 (2%) genotypes were found in this study. In Kerala, HPV16 and HPV33 genotypes were found to be significantly higher compared with the other HPV types detected. As the bivalent (Cervarix) and quadrivalent (Gardasil‐4) vaccines offer limited cross‐protection against HPV33, nonavalent (Gardasil 9) vaccine would be more effective in preventing cervical carcinoma in Kerala.
Crossover of daily job stressors among dual‐career couples: A dyadic examination
Authors: Chen Zheng , Ellis Allison M. 
Published: April 2021

SummaryJob stressors remain a common organizational phenomenon, and research shows the ability to recover during nonwork time is critical for well‐being and job performance. Recent labor data suggest a rise in dual‐career couples, indicating employees may be affected by their own as well as their spouses' job stressors. Yet, investigations into dual‐career couples' mutual experiences of job stressors and nonwork outcomes are scarce. Informed by the work–home resources model and crossover theory, we use a dyadic modeling approach to examine how heterosexual, dual‐career couples' daily challenge, and hindrance stressors relate to social support/undermining received by the spouse and subsequent evening relaxation—a critical recovery experience. We find a gendered pattern where husbands' daily challenge stressors affect social support toward their wives and wives' nightly relaxation. Husbands' challenge stressors also related to social undermining toward their spouses, although this effect was moderated by the husbands' exhaustion at the end of the workday. Neither wives' challenge stressors nor both partners' hindrance stressors impacted spousal social behaviors. The results of this study highlight that job stressors can be differentially linked to dual‐career couples' evening relaxation experiences and point to the importance of investigating stressors on the day level within a realistic social context.
Essential oils and their nanoformulations as green preservatives to boost food safety against mycotoxin contamination of food commodities: a review

Published: April 2021

AbstractPostharvest food spoilage due to fungal and mycotoxin contamination is a major challenge in tropical countries, leading to severe adverse effects on human health. Because of the negative effects of synthetic preservatives on both human health and the environment, it has been recommended that chemicals that have a botanical origin, with an eco‐friendly nature and a favorable safety profile, should be used as green preservatives. Recently, the food industry and consumers have been shifting drastically towards green consumerism because of their increased concerns about health and the environment. Among different plant‐based products, essential oils (EOs) and their bioactive components are strongly preferred as antimicrobial food preservatives. Despite having potent antimicrobial efficacy and preservation potential against fungal and mycotoxin contamination, essential oils and their bioactive components have limited practical applicability caused by their high volatility and their instability, implying the development of techniques to overcome the challenges associated with EO application. Essential oils and their bioactive components are promising alternatives to synthetic preservatives. To overcome challenges associated with EOs, nanotechnology has emerged as a novel technology in the food industries. Nanoencapsulation may boost the preservative potential of different essential oils by improving their solubility, stability, and targeted sustainable release. Nanoencapsulation of EOs is therefore currently being practiced to improve the stability and bioactivity of natural products. The present review has dealt extensively with the application of EOs and their nanoformulated products encapsulated in suitable polymeric matrices, so as to recommend them as novel green preservatives against foodborne molds and mycotoxin‐induced deterioration of stored food commodities. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.

Published: April 2021

AbstractBACKGROUNDChia (Salvia hispanica L.) is a functional food from Central America. Interest in it is growing rapidly due to the many health benefits from the seed. However, when chia is grown at high latitudes, seed yield may be low whereas a high stem biomass and immature inflorescences are produced. Little is known about the chemical composition and the properties of stems and flowers. In this work, the metabolite profile, the antioxidant activity, and the total polyphenol content of stems and inflorescences were evaluated in a factorial experiment with different chia populations (commercial black chia and long‐day flowering mutants G3, G8, and G17) and irrigation (100% and 50% of evapotranspiration).RESULTSThe results show the influence of irrigation and seed source on the antioxidant activity and total polyphenol content of chia flower and stem. Inflorescences exhibit higher antioxidant activity, suggesting their potential use as natural antioxidant. The mutants G3 and G8, at 50% irrigation, contained the highest amounts of compounds with nutraceutical value, especially within the flower. The mutant G17 showed lower antioxidant activity and polyphenol content compared to other seed sources but exhibited high omega 3 content in flowers but low in stems. This indicates that chia varieties should be chosen according to the objective of cultivation.CONCLUSIONThese findings, indicating a close relation of metabolite content with irrigation and seed source, may provide the basis for the use of chia flower and stem for their nutraceutical value in the food, feed, and supplement industries. © 2021 The Authors.

Elucidation of the reduced oil uptake of frying batters made from wheat and brown rice flour blends in terms of rheology and surface roughness
Authors: Jeong Sungmin , Lee Suyong 
Published: April 2021

AbstractBACKGROUNDNegative impressions toward fried foods are prevalent due to their high oil absorption and caloric values. A great deal of effort has been thus made to reduce the oil uptake of fried foods. In this study, the effect of wheat and brown rice flour blends on the oil uptake of frying batters was elucidated in terms of rheology and surface roughness.RESULTSThe blends with higher proportions of brown rice flour had higher values of pasting parameters and also exhibited a more elastic nature. When a food matrix was deep‐fat‐fried with frying batters made from wheat and brown rice flour blends, the oil uptake was significantly reduced by 28% compared to wheat flour batter. Based on imaging analysis, the surface properties of the fried crusts were quantitatively measured, demonstrating that the degree of surface roughness distinctly became lower with increasing levels of brown rice flour. Furthermore, the surface roughness parameters (Ra and Rq) had a strong relationship with the reduced oil uptake. Also, a high proportion of brown rice flour in the blends produced fried samples with a firmer and crispy texture.CONCLUSIONSA reduced oil uptake of batter‐coated fried foods was distinctly observed with increasing levels of brown rice flour in the blends and well correlated with the degree of surface roughness (R2 > 0.85). © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
Soil moisture and nitrogen content influence wheat yield through their effects on the root system and soil bacterial diversity under drip irrigation

AbstractSoil properties and plants influence soil microbial community diversity, and their role in nutrient cycling could influence plant productivity; however, it is not clear the relationships between soil bacterial communities, soil moisture, and nitrogen (N) content, and whether these associations influence plant productivity. In this study, we investigated how the soil microbial community affects root zone productivity in winter wheat. We also verified whether productivity can be improved by water adjustment and N management in drip irrigation field experiments (I0, natural condition; I1, jointing to heading stage S1 55%–80%θf, field capacity, anthesis to mature stage S2 70%–80%θf; I2, S1 55%–90%θf, S2 70%–90%θf; and I3, S1 55%–100%θf, S2 70%–100%θf) and under different N application rates (N0, N1, N2, and N3 represent 0, 150, 200, and 250 kg N ha−1). Soil moisture and N application rate significantly influenced water use efficiency (WUE), N use efficiency (NUE), yield, and soil bacterial abundance and diversity in the wheat root zone. N application decreased the richness indices in un‐irrigated soils (I0), whereas it initially increased, and then decreased the indices in irrigated soils (I1, I2, and I3). The primary factor influencing the dominant bacterial taxa was soil moisture content (SMC), followed by root length density (RLD). The root system and soil bacterial diversity strong influenced wheat yield. The I1N1 treatment resulted in the highest root weight density (RWD), WUE, and NUE, and thus increased wheat yield; furthermore, it had the least influence on the diversity of soil bacteria. Our work suggests that the response of bacterial communities to soil moisture and nitrogen content largely regulates crop production in agro‐ecosystems, and that regulating soil moisture and nitrogen fertilizer use may provide a sustainable solution for maintaining farmland productivity.
Symmetry Protected Invariant Scattering Properties for Incident Plane Waves of Arbitrary Polarizations
Authors: Yang Qingdong , Chen Weijin , Chen Yuntian , Liu Wei 
Published: April 2021

AbstractPolarization independent Mie scattering of building blocks is fundamental for constructions of optical systems with robust functionalities. Conventional studies for such polarization independence are generally restricted to special states of either linear or circular polarizations, widely neglecting elliptically‐polarized states that are generically present in realistic applications. Here, a comprehensive recipe to achieve invariant scattering properties in terms of cross sections for plane waves of arbitrary polarizations is presented, requiring only rotation symmetry and absence of optical activities. It is discovered that sole rotation symmetries can effectively decouple the two scattering channels that originate from the incident circularly polarized plane waves of opposite handedness, leading to invariance of all scattering properties for any polarizations on the same latitude circle of the Poincaré sphere. Further incorporations of extra inversion or mirror symmetries would eliminate the optical activities and thus ensure scattering property invariance for arbitrary polarizations. The all‐polarization invariance revealed is induced by the joint functions of discrete spatial symmetries, reciprocity, parity conservation and helicity preservation along the forward direction. This symmetry‐protected intrinsic invariance, independent of wavelength or material parameters, is robust against any symmetry‐preserving perturbations, which may render extra flexibilities for designing optical devices with stable functionalities.
