Surface Energy of Food Contact Materials and Its Relation to Wheat Dough Adhesion
Authors: Laukemper Rita , Becker Thomas , Jekle Mario 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis study investigates the influence of the surface free energy (SFE) on the adhesion behaviour between wheat dough and bakery-relevant food processing surfaces. In doing so, the contact time and production-related changes of the adhesive and the adherend were taken into account. The adhesion measurements were conducted by means of previously developed methods (modified Chen/Hoseney, contact time measuring cell), whereby the force required for separating the dough from the surface after processing-relevant contact times was determined applying a texture analyzer. The SFE was determined by contact angle measurements. The SFE values for the examined materials are ranged between 5.5 ± 0.81 and 42.7 ± 0.88 mN/m. A strong linear correlation between the SFE of the bakery surfaces and their adhesion to dough could be determined after a certain contact time (≥ 1 min) (r = + 0.96 for surfaces with Sa > 20 μm; r = + 0.94 for surfaces with Sa < 20 μm). Bakery surfaces with energy values σsolid surface, total > 30 mN/m including a polar content indicated a strong interaction with wheat dough, which was confirmed by high adhesion values. Production-related changes to the processing surfaces showed a great impact on the adhesion behaviour: e.g. the abrasion of proofing cloths caused a higher amount of protruding fibres, which operate as a separating layer, resulting in a decrease of dough adhesion even after long contact times. The results in this study emphasize the importance of the SFE in the development of processing surfaces for the baking industry.
Go to Bed and You MIGHT Feel Better in the Morning—the Effect of Sleep on Affective Tone and Intrusiveness of Emotional Memories
Authors: Davidson Per , Pace-Schott Edward 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Purpose of Review
It is important to examine what effect sleep has after an emotional experience. More knowledge about this topic could help inform us whether there are any potential sleep interventions that could help make sure that memories of negative emotional experiences are processed in the most adaptive manner possible.

Recent Findings
Findings on the role of sleep in altering reactivity to emotional stimuli have been highly varied, with significant findings in opposite directions. A new exciting development in the field is several studies finding that sleep seems to make memories of negative experiences less intrusive.

Summary
This review has mainly aimed to give an overview of the field, and of which issues need to be resolved. We argue for there being a strong need for standardization of how data are analyzed and presented, as well as for better methods for determining to what extent the effects of sleep are specific for a particular memory, or represent general changes in emotional reactivity.
Antifouling Technology Trends in Marine Environmental Protection
Authors: Tian Limei , Yin Yue , Bing Wei , Jin E. 
Published: March 2021

AbstractMarine fouling is a worldwide problem, which is harmful to the global marine ecological environment and economic benefits. The traditional antifouling strategy usually uses toxic antifouling agents, which gradually exposes a serious environmental problem. Therefore, green, long-term, broad-spectrum and eco-friendly antifouling technologies have been the main target of engineers and researchers. In recent years, many eco-friendly antifouling technologies with broad application prospects have been developed based on the low toxicity and non-toxicity antifouling agents and materials. In this review, contemporary eco-friendly antifouling technologies and materials are summarized into bionic antifouling and non-bionic antifouling strategies (2000–2020). Non-bionic antifouling technologies mainly include protein resistant polymers, antifoulant releasing coatings, foul release coatings, conductive antifouling coatings and photodynamic antifouling technology. Bionic antifouling technologies mainly include the simulated shark skin, whale skin, dolphin skin, coral tentacles, lotus leaves and other biology structures. Brief future research directions and challenges are also discussed in the end, and we expect that this review would boost the development of marine antifouling technologies.

AbstractMicron/nano scale topographic modification has been a significant focus of interest in current titanium (Ti) surface design. However, the influence of micron/nano structured surface on cell or bacterium behavior on the Ti implant has rarely been systematically evaluated. Moreover, except for popular microgrooves, little work has been carried out on the reaction of cells to the bionic structure. In this study, several micro-pillars mimicking cell morphology were prepared on Ti surfaces by lithography and contact printing (ICP) method, and they were further decorated with nanotube arrays by anodization technology. These surface modifications remarkablly increased the surface roughness of pristine Ti surface from 91.17 nm ± 5.57 nm to be more than 1000 nm, and reduced their water contact angles from 68.3° ± 0.7° to be 16.9° ± 2.4°. Then, the effects of these hierarchical micron/nano scale patterns on the behaviors of MG63 osteoblasts, L929 fibroblasts, SCC epithelial cells andP. gingivaliswere studied, aiming to evaluate their performance in osseointegration, gingival epithelial sealing and antibacterial ability. Through an innovative scoring strategy, our findings showed that square micro-pillars with 6 µm width and 2 µm height combined with 85 nm diameter nanotubes was suitable for implant neck design, while square micro-pillars with 3 µm width and 3.6 µm height combined with 55 nm diameter nanotubes was the best for implant body design. Our study reveals the synergistic effect of the hierarchical micron/nano scale patterns on MG63 osteoblasts, L929 fibroblasts, SCC epithelial cells andP. gingivalisfunctions. It provides insight into the design of biomedical implant surfaces.
Gender norm conflict and marital outcomes
Authors: Antman Francisca M. , Kalsi Priti , Lee Soohyung 
Published: March 2021

AbstractWe investigate the impact of male–female conflict over gender norms on marital outcomes. As marriage requires mutual agreement regarding the role of husband and wife, we hypothesize that a person who is less likely to encounter a potential mate with similar gender norms will face a lower chance of marrying. Even if two parties marry despite a difference in gender norms, their marriage may be more vulnerable to external shocks, making divorce more likely relative to their counterparts without gender norm conflict. Finally, we predict that in the presence of gender norm conflict, high-skilled individuals may be less likely to get or stay married relative to low-skilled individuals, as the former group faces better outside options. Estimates from an analysis of U.S. marriage markets differentiated by birth cohort, state, race, and skill level support our theoretical predictions. Additional extensions explore heterogeneous effects and additional outcomes such as the presence of children in the household.

AbstractIntroduction:Several aspects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic remain ambiguous, including its transmission, severity, geographic, and racial differences in mortality. These variations merit elaboration of local patterns to inform wider national policies.Methods:In a retrospective analysis, data of patients treated at a dedicated COVID hospital with moderate and severe illness during 8 wk of the pandemic were reviewed with attention to mortality in a competing risks framework.Results:A total of 1147 patients were hospitalized, and 312 (27.2%) died in hospital. Those who died were older (56.5 vs 47.6 y;P< 0.0001). Of these, 885 (77.2%) had tested positive on reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), with 219 (24.2%) deaths (incidence rate, 1.9 per 100 person-days). Median time from onset of symptoms to death was 11 days. A competing risks analysis forin-hospital deathrevealed an adjusted cause-specific hazard ratio of 1.4 for each decade increase in age.Conclusions:This retrospective analysis provides broad patterns of disease presentation and mortality. Even COVID test-negative patients will receive treatment at dedicated facilities, and 33% presenting cases may die within the first 72 h, most with comorbid illness. This should be considered while planning distribution of services for effective health-care delivery
Biological bases of cancer immunotherapy

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Immunotherapy has changed the landscape of cancer treatment and has significantly improved the outcome of several cancer types including breast, lung, colorectal and prostate. Neoantigen recognition and immune checkpoint inhibitors are nowadays the milestones of different immunotherapeutic regimes; however, high cost, primary and acquired resistance and the high variability of responses make their extensive use difficult. The development of better predictive biomarkers that represent tumour diversity shows promise because there is a significant body of clinical data showing a spectrum of immunotherapeutic responses that might be related back to their specific characteristics. This article makes a conceptual and historical review to summarise the main advances in our understanding of the role of the immune system in cancer, while describing the methodological details that have been successfully implemented on cancer treatments and that may hold the key to improved therapeutic approaches.
Looking at both sides of high-performance work systems and individual performance: a job demands−resources model
Authors: Chen Yuan-Ling , Chen Shyh-Jer 
Published: March 2021

AbstractIn this study, we show how high-performance work systems (HPWS) in an organization can significantly affect employees' creative performance and burnout. To do this, we propose and test a dual-process framework that is based on HR attribution theory, ability−motivation−opportunity theory, micro- and macro-theoretical perspectives, and the job demands−resources (JD-R) model. Using data from a multisource field study with a sample of 311 participants, we found that HPWS benefited employee creative performance and did not lead to employee burnout. However, HPWS affected both job demands and job resources when employees adopted self-protection and self-enhancement strategies. Also, we found that HPWS had unique indirect effects on employee creative performance via job resources whereas job demands fully mediated the relationship between HPWS and employee burnout. The findings shed light on key aspects of HR attribution theory. We discuss accompanying theoretical and practical implications.
Efficiency of artificial neural networks for glacier ice-thickness estimation: a case study in western Himalaya, India
Authors: Haq Mohd Anul , Azam Mohd Farooq , Vincent Christian 
Published: March 2021

Abstract
Knowledge of glacier volume is crucial for ice flow modelling and predicting the impacts of climate change on glaciers. Rugged terrain, harsh weather conditions and logistic costs limit field-based ice thickness observations in the Himalaya. Remote-sensing applications, together with mathematical models, provide alternative techniques for glacier ice thickness and volume estimation. The objective of the present research is to assess the application of artificial neural network (ANN) modelling coupled with remote-sensing techniques to estimate ice thickness on individual glaciers with direct field measurements. We have developed two ANN models and estimated the ice thickness of Chhota Shigri Glacier (western Himalaya) on ten transverse cross sections and two longitudinal sections. The ANN model estimates agree well with ice thickness measurements from a ground-penetrating radar, available for five transverse cross sections on Chhota Shigri Glacier. The overall root mean square errors of the two ANN models are 24 and 13 m and the mean bias errors are ±13 and ±6 m, respectively, which are significantly lower than for other available models. The estimated mean ice thickness and volume for Chhota Shigri Glacier are 109 ± 17 m and 1.69 ± 0.26 km3, respectively.
The Very Grounds Underlying Twentieth-Century Authoritarian Regimes: Building Soil Fertility in Italian Libya and the Brazilian Cerrado
Authors: Biasillo Roberta , da Silva Claiton Marcio 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis article analyzes the role of soil in the making of authoritarian regimes and illustrates twentieth-century practices and discourses related to fertility across the globe. It compares two different approaches to and understandings of soil fertility: the first emerged in North Libya under Italian Fascist rule (1922–1943), the second in Central Brazil during the civil-military dictatorship (1964–1985). We compare two soil-forming processes that changed physical and chemical properties of the original matter and were embedded within specific ideologies of modernization. In both cases, state agendas of agrarian production played a paramount role not only in socioeconomic projects but also as an instrument to suppress opposition. Technocratic and political aspects of building and maintaining fertility were interwoven, although in different patterns in the two countries. We show how the rejuvenation of land bled into the regeneration of communities through processes that anchored the self-definition and development of these authoritarian regimes, and argue that attempts at landscape transformations through agricultural activity and strategies of fertilization are inescapable features of dictatorships. In so doing, we elaborate the concept of “authoritarian soil.” The juxtaposition of these non-synchronous cases reveals how agricultural modernization developed throughout the twentieth century. Our study is rooted in environmental history and contributes to the ongoing dialogue between that field and science and technology studies. Its cross-temporal, comparative methodology draws upon sources and historiographical debates in English, Italian, and Portuguese.
Addressing challenging behaviors in challenging environments: Findings from Ohio's early childhood mental health consultation system
Authors: Reyes Chin R. , Gilliam Walter S. 
Published: March 2021

AbstractEarly childhood mental health consultation (ECMHC) has been promoted by the federal government as a promising model for reducing early childhood expulsions and suspensions and is now implemented by numerous states. Despite growing ECMHC proliferation, this study is only the second randomized controlled trial of ECMHC, extending the methodologies of the first to include assessment of effects on random peers. Classrooms were assigned randomly to treatment or waitlist-control condition (n= 51 classrooms, 57 preschool teachers, and 190 preschoolers). Evaluation measures were collected at both pretreatment and posttreatment, following approximately six consultation visits. Classroom and teacher outcomes were evaluated with ordinary least squares regressions, while hierarchical linear modeling was used to evaluate child-level outcomes, accounting for the nested study design. Treatment children (both the target children who prompted the referral for ECMHC and random peers) evidenced significant improvements in social and emotional skills. Promising trend findings were noted for child behavior problem reduction and teacher pedagogical approach and locus of control. No significant effects were found on likelihood of expulsion and classroom mental health climate. This is the first ECMHC to demonstrate effects on nontarget peers in a rigorous randomized controlled trial. Programmatic and methodologic limitations and implications are discussed.
On the origins of the god Ruḍaw and some remarks on the pre-Islamic North Arabian pantheon
Authors: AL JALLAD AHMAD 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThis contribution proposes an interpretation of a newly attested divine title of the ancient Arabian deity Ruḍaw, mkśd ‘(the one) from Chaldea’. It explores what sense this title could have had and its implications on our understanding of Ruḍaw's position in the ancient Arabian pantheon, especially in relation to Allāt. It also examines mentions of Ruḍaw in Islamic-period narrative sources and concludes that his cult likely disappeared by Islamic times; tales of the destruction of his cult site reflect the use of the ‘smashing idols’ topos to narrativize the passage from pre-Islam to Islam.
Miteinander schweigen
Authors: Staudacher Diana 
Published: March 2021

Was ist zu diesem Thema bereits bekannt? Patient_innen sind oft der Ansicht: „Für mich ist es nicht nur wichtig, was Pflegende machen, sondern wie sie für mich da sind“. Wie wird eine neue Perspektive eingebracht? Das „Nursing Presence“-Konzept beruht auf „absoluter“ Aufmerksamkeit für Patient_innen. Sprache und Handlung stehen nicht mehr im Vordergrund der Begegnung. Dadurch entsteht ein gewaltfreies Mit-Sein. Der „peripersonale“ Schutzraum der Patient_innen bleibt weitgehend unangetastet. Was sind die Auswirkungen für die Praxis? „Nursing Presence“ kann „Verletzungsverhältnisse“ unterbrechen, die durch Sprache und Handlung entstehen. Dadurch ist es möglich, „pflegebezogenes Leiden“ („suffering related to care“) vozubeugen.
Narrationen ermöglichen

Published: March 2021

Was ist zu diesem Thema bereits bekannt? Narrationen sind ein wichtiges Instrument im klinischen und pflegerischen Alltag. Sie schaffen für Patient_innen Raum zum Erzählen und Einordnen ihrer subjektiven Erfahrungen. Wie wird eine neue Perspektive eingebracht? Im Laufe von Professionalisierung und Fokussierung auf Evidenzbasiertheit ist das Narrative in den Hintergrund geraten – auch in der psychiatrischen Pflege. Die Forderung nach einer bewussten ‚Narrative Health Care‘ ist eine Ergänzung zur ‚Evidence-based Health Care‘ und bezieht sich auf etablierte Erkenntnisse aus der Narrationsforschung. Was sind die Auswirkungen für die Praxis? Mehr Raum für Erzählungen im pflegerischen Alltag zu schaffen, braucht nicht viel Aufwand und kann dazu beitragen, Menschen gezielter in ihrem Genesungsprozess zu unterstützen und die Reflexion der eigenen Praxis anzuregen.

Published: March 2021

AbstractThe patterns of spatial and temporal variability in CO2 and CH4 emission from reservoirs are still poorly studied, especially in tropical regions where hydropower is growing. We performed spatially resolved measurements of dissolved CO2 and CH4 surface water concentrations and their gas‐exchange coefficients (k) to compute diffusive carbon flux from four contrasting tropical reservoirs across Brazil during different hydrological seasons. We used an online equilibration system to measure dissolved CO2 and CH4 concentrations; we estimated k from floating chamber deployments in conjunction with discrete CO2 and CH4 water concentration measurements. Diffusive CO2 emissions were higher during dry season than during rainy season, whereas there were no consistent seasonal patterns for diffusive CH4 emissions. Our results reveal that the magnitude and the spatial within‐reservoir patterns of diffusive CO2 and CH4 flux varied strongly among hydrological seasons. River inflow areas were often characterized by high seasonality in diffusive flux. Areas close to the dam generally showed low seasonal variability in diffusive CH4 flux but high variability in CO2 flux. Overall, we found that reservoir areas exhibiting highest emission rates (“hotspots”) shifted substantially across hydrological seasons. Estimates of total diffusive carbon emission from the reservoir surfaces differed between hydrological seasons by a factor up to 7 in Chapéu D'Úvas, up to 13 in Curuá‐Una, up to 4 in Furnas, and up to 1.8 in Funil, indicating that spatially resolved measurements of CO2 and CH4 concentrations and k need to be performed at different hydrological seasons in order to constrain annual diffusive carbon emission.
Release of CO2 in Cold Subduction Zones by Hydrous Carbonatitic Liquids
Authors: Zhang Yanfei , Xu Qijin , Wang Chao , Jin Zhenmin 
Published: March 2021

AbstractThe release of CO2 from subducted slabs is an important process of the global carbon cycle. Previous studies have demonstrated that metamorphic reactions, carbonatitic melts, carbonate dissolutions, and hydrous carbonatitic liquids are effective CO2 recycling mechanisms in hot and warm thermal regimes, whereas the fate of subducted carbonates in cold subduction zones remains poorly understood. Here, we investigate the phase relations of subducted ophicarbonate at pressures beyond sub‐arc depths. The presence of complex quench textures indicates that hydrous carbonatitic liquids formed at temperatures as low as ∼850°C at depths of ∼300–440 km, which corresponds to cold thermal regimes. Water released by the decomposition of dense hydrous magnesium silicate phases can substantially affect the stability of subducted carbonates, which facilitates the formation of hydrous carbonatitic liquids. This provides a mechanism for scavenging CO2 from cold slabs and may promote the formation of metasomatized domains in the deep mantle.
The amino acid metabolism is essential for evading physical plasma-induced tumour cell death

Published: March 2021

Abstract
Background
Recent studies have emphasised the important role of amino acids in cancer metabolism. Cold physical plasma is an evolving technology employed to target tumour cells by introducing reactive oxygen species (ROS). However, limited understanding is available on the role of metabolic reprogramming in tumour cells fostering or reducing plasma-induced cancer cell death.

Methods
The utilisation and impact of major metabolic substrates of fatty acid, amino acid and TCA pathways were investigated in several tumour cell lines following plasma exposure by qPCR, immunoblotting and cell death analysis.

Results
Metabolic substrates were utilised in Panc-1 and HeLa but not in OVCAR3 and SK-MEL-28 cells following plasma treatment. Among the key genes governing these pathways, ASCT2 and SLC3A2 were consistently upregulated in Panc-1, Miapaca2GR, HeLa and MeWo cells. siRNA-mediated knockdown of ASCT2, glutamine depletion and pharmacological inhibition with V9302 sensitised HeLa cells to the plasma-induced cell death. Exogenous supplementation of glutamine, valine or tyrosine led to improved metabolism and viability of tumour cells following plasma treatment.

Conclusion
These data suggest the amino acid influx driving metabolic reprogramming in tumour cells exposed to physical plasma, governing the extent of cell death. This pathway could be targeted in combination with existing anti-tumour agents.
