ABSTRACTThe tri‐trophic interactions among five cabbage (Brassica oleracea var. capitata) cultivars—Copenhagen Market (CM), Red Acre (RA), Vertus Savoy (VS), Sugarloaf (SL) and Danish Ballhead (DBH)—a generalist aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer) and its parasitoid, Diaeretiella rapae McIntosh, were assessed. Copenhagen Market, known for its reported aphid resistance, recorded the fewest aphids (9.11 per plant; F = 6.50; df = 4, p < 0.01), followed closely by Red Acre (11.83 per plant), which was statistically similar. Upon aphid attack, all cultivars produced plant volatiles that influenced the attraction of the parasitoid, D. rapae. Copenhagen Market consistently showed a higher response across cultivar combinations, attracting 62.59%–67.50% of parasitoids. It also recorded a higher parasitisation rate (39.9%; F = 5.94; df = 4/20, p < 0.01) in a multiple‐choice test. The results indicate that cabbage cultivars employ both constitutive and induced resistance, as aphid‐resistant cultivars were also found to be more attractive to parasitoids. In addition to plant odour cues, factors such as plant colour, texture and host aphid kairomones can influence the orientation and parasitisation by D. rapae.

ABSTRACTThe effect of vacuum pressure mode has not been studied depth yet. Effect of vacuum pressure on the quality of vacuum‐fried banana slices was studies in this work. Three vacuum frying processes were conducted and tested. Classically, two constant vacuum pressures 80 (CVF‐80) and 180 mmHg (CVF‐180) were applied in the frying process at 90°C. One novel frying method with gradient vacuum pressure (GVF) changed from 760 to 80 mmHg was conducted and adapted. The frying temperature was kept at 90°C. The frying processes were monitoring by moisture contents and 4% was generally accepted as moisture content of final product. Meanwhile, the frying times of CVF‐80, CVF‐180 and GVF were 50, 80 and 60 min, whereas the brightness values (L*) were corresponded to 71.07, 71.36, 67.25, respectively. The GVF samples were brightest with lowest hardness value (30.8 N) and the CVF‐180 was darkest with highest hardness value (36.87 N). The microstructure analysis showed that the GVF increase in both size and number of pores in comparison with CVF. Additionally, based on the paired comparison sensorial test the GVF fried banana slices were crisper than CVF samples. Our results revealed that the GVF method improves the quality of vacuum‐fried banana slices, thus it can be good alternative method for production of banana snack.

AbstractBackground and AimsSmall‐fibre neuropathy (SFN) is associated with glucose dysregulation, including impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Corneal confocal microscopy (CCM) offers a non‐invasive tool to assess corneal nerve damage and dendritic cell density (DCD). In this study, we investigated corneal DCD in patients with SFN and glucose dysregulation, defined as IGT or T2D.MethodsWe enrolled 38 patients with SFN + glucose dysregulation, 51 with SFN + non‐glucose dysregulation and 20 healthy controls. All participants underwent neurological examination, neurophysiology and CCM.ResultsIndividuals with SFN and glucose dysregulation had higher DCD compared with healthy controls (p = .01), and mature DCD was higher in IGT SFN patients than in T2D patients.InterpretationHigher DCD in IGT compared with controls and patients with established T2D may suggest that DCD is a biomarker of early neuropathy.
Political skill and informal leader emergence: The role of relationships, competence and outcome interdependence

Published: November 2024

AbstractPolitical skill facilitates political influence, enabling individuals to distinguish themselves within an organization. The influence of political skill operates through three primary processes: interpersonal, behavioural and intrapsychic. These processes provide a comprehensive understanding of how political skill functions within an organizational context. According to political influence theory, we propose that political skill can promote informal leader emergence through its interpersonal process, which enhances team member relationship quality, and its behavioural process, which demonstrates peer‐perceived competence. Furthermore, by integrating political influence theory with social interdependence theory, we identify outcome interdependence as a mechanism that elicits intrapsychic processes, specifically as a moderator that influences the indirect effect of political skill on informal leader emergence. Results from two multi‐wave, multi‐sourced studies provide empirical support for the notion that political skill encourages employees to emerge as informal leaders within a team by increasing team member relationship quality and peer‐perceived competence. Additionally, outcome interdependence amplifies the indirect and positive effects of political skill on informal leader emergence. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
The Bourdieusian Unconscious: The Scientific and Political Significance of the Sociological Treatment of a Psychoanalytic Concept
Authors: Csányi Gergely 
Published: November 2024

ABSTRACTFrom the very beginning of Pierre Bourdieu's oeuvre, but with increasing intensity, one can find expressions that are either explicitly taken from psychoanalysis, or at least have a psychoanalytic meaning. This paper aims to contribute to the existing discourse on Bourdieu's relation to psychoanalysis by examining the meaning of Bourdieu's most frequently used term, unconscious, which is also a key one in psychoanalysis, in Bourdieu's writings. In a brief introduction, I outline Bourdieu's relationship to psychoanalysis based on the literature and Bourdieu's texts, and argue that although Bourdieu's relationship with psychoanalysis remained controversial over the years, there is a growing integrative tendency, with psychoanalysis playing an increasingly important—even if sometimes hidden—role in his texts. In the main body of the paper, I argue that this tendency does not fully cover Bourdieu's approach to the unconscious, and that although his approach to the unconscious is not independent of the tendency discussed in the previous section, a dichotomy can be observed from the beginning to the end of the oeuvre, namely the parallel use of the unconscious in the sociological and psychoanalytic sense, and the lack of clarity regarding the relationship between the two. Finally, in the last section, I point out that socioanalysis, as an emancipatory project, should have clarified its position on the unconscious, because it marks the limits of the actors' potential for self‐reflexivity, which can also shape political strategies.
Capturing uncertainty intuition in road maintenance decision‐making using an evidential neural network

Published: November 2024

AbstractDecision‐making of project‐level road maintenance is the process of mapping road information into a maintenance plan. Even though benefitting from deep learning, the decision‐making still faces the problem of maintenance data uncertainty. The data uncertainty derives from imperfect road information collection and arbitrary selection of maintenance plans. Such uncertainty always leads to unreasonable maintenance decision‐making. This study proposes an evidential approach using information entropy (IE) and Dempster–Shafer theory (DST) to capture and handle uncertainty in the decision‐making of project‐level road maintenance. The approach first uses an IE‐based judgment method (IE‐based method) to capture and observe quantitative data uncertainty. The DST‐based method is then developed to handle maintenance data uncertainty through utilizing evidential neural network and set‐valued decision‐making. A numerical experiment is performed on the maintenance data with 280 km of semi‐rigid base highways in China. The results indicate that the IE‐based method can measure the data uncertainty in the information of road sections. The DST‐based method captures the cautious intuition on the selection of maintenance plans, thereby reducing the decision error rate by over 14% under specific conditions when facing data uncertainty.

SummaryFlooding is a widespread natural disaster that causes tremendous yield losses of global food production. Rice is the only cereal capable of growing in aquatic environments. Direct seeding by which seedlings grow underwater is an important cultivation method for reducing rice production cost. Hypoxic germination tolerance and root growth in waterlogged soil are key traits for rice adaptability to flooded environments. Alternative oxidase (AOX) is a non‐ATP‐producing terminal oxidase in the plant mitochondrial electron transport chain, but its role in hypoxia tolerance had been unclear. We have discovered that AOX1a is necessary and sufficient to promote germination/coleoptile elongation and root development in rice under flooding/hypoxia. Hypoxia enhances endogenous H2O2 accumulation, and H2O2 in turn activates an ensemble of regulatory genes including AOX1a to facilitate the conversion of deleterious reactive oxygen species to H2O2 in rice under hypoxia. We show that AOX1a and H2O2 act interdependently to coordinate three key downstream events, that is, glycolysis/fermentation for minimal ATP production, root aerenchyma development and lateral root emergence under hypoxia. Moreover, we reveal that ectopic AOX1a expression promotes vigorous root and plant growth, and increases grain yield under regular irrigation conditions. Our discoveries provide new insights into a unique sensor–second messenger pair in which AOX1a acts as the sensor perceiving low oxygen tension, while H2O2 accumulation serves as the second messenger triggering downstream root development in rice against hypoxia stress. This work also reveals AOX1a genetic manipulation and H2O2 pretreatment as potential targets for improving flooding tolerance in rice and other crops.

ABSTRACTAluminum (Al) toxicity in acidic soils leads to a considerable reduction in crop yields. MicroRNAs play essential roles in abiotic stress responses, but little is known of their role in the response of peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) to Al stress. In this study, a novel Ah‐miR2916 (miR2916)–AhERF13–AhSUC3 module was found to be involved in the Al‐stress response via ethylene‐mediated signaling in peanut. Overexpression of miR2916 in Arabidopsis resulted in reduced Al tolerance by downregulating ethylene biosynthesis, while knockdown miR2916 in peanut enhanced Al tolerance. Notably, the APETALA2/ethylene‐responsive factor (ERF), AhERF13, was identified as a potential target of miR2916. AhERF13 expression was increased in miR2916 knockdown peanut lines and displayed an opposing pattern to that of miR2916 under Al stress. Consistently, knockdown AhERF13 peanut lines indicated that AhERF13 positively regulates Al tolerance by upregulating ethylene biosynthesis. AhERF13 was shown capable of binding to an ERF motif in the promoter region of sucrose transport protein 3 (AhSUC3) and positively regulate its expression. Consequently, AhSUC3 improved Al tolerance by upregulating ethylene biosynthesis. These results provide further insights into the molecular mechanisms operating during peanut response to Al stress, and suggests targets for manipulation in breeding programs for improved Al tolerance.

AimMethamphetamine use disorders (MUDs) cause widespread disruptions in metabolomic and immunologic processes, highlighting the need for new therapeutic approaches. The purpose of this study was to find molecular and neuroimaging biomarkers for methamphetamine addiction.MethodsIn this study, we recruited 231 patients with MUD at varying stages of withdrawal and 40 healthy controls to quantify the blood levels of 52 molecules using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay.ResultsThe overall molecular disruption caused by methamphetamine was inversely related to withdrawal time (P = 0.0008), with partial recovery observed after 1 year of follow‐up (P = 2.20 × 10−5). Molecules related to stress, immune activation, oxidative products, and cardiac injury were significantly elevated in all MUD groups, while antioxidation enzymes were downregulated. Additionally, the blood level of brain‐derived neurotrophic factor was significantly correlated with gray matter volumes in nine brain regions (fusiform gyrus, orbitofrontal cortex, temporal pole, caudate, cerebellum crus, and vermis, adjusted P < 0.05) among patients with MUD.ConclusionThese findings suggest that patients with MUD exhibit elevated levels of immune response, stress, and oxidative stress, which are associated with brain structural abnormalities.

ABSTRACTPatient education materials (PEMs) are crucial for improving patient adherence and outcomes; however, they may not be accessible due to high reading levels. Our study used seven readability measures to compare the readability of Spanish PEMs from the Society of Pediatric Dermatology (SPD) with those generated by Open‐AI's ChatGPT 4.0 and Google Gemini. Our results showed that when prompted to produce material at a 6th grade level, both AI ChatBots generated significantly improved readability scores when compared to the SPD handouts. These findings suggest that AI‐generated PEMs could better meet readability standards and potentially improve patient outcomes, although further studies are needed to confirm this.

Abstract
Angiosperm pollen, the male gametophyte, plays a crucial role in facilitating fertilization by protecting and transporting male sperm cells to the female pistil. Despite their seemingly simple structure, pollen grains undergo intricate development to produce viable sperm cells capable of fertilizing the egg cell. Factors such as resource limitation and plant aging can disrupt normal pollen development and affect pollen performance. We investigated the influence of plant resources and aging on pollen developmental failure in Azorella nivalis Phil., an exceptionally long‐lived high‐Andean species that grows in a stressful alpine environment. Leveraging the modular nature of plants, we aimed to identify intra‐individual sources of variation in pollen developmental failure.
By using pollen viability and variation in viable pollen grain size as indicators of pollen developmental performance, we assessed whether proxies of plant resource availability and aging influenced these pollen traits at the inter‐individual, inter‐flower and intra‐flower levels.
Our findings revealed decreased pollen viability in putative resource‐depleted flowers and in shoots that experienced higher levels of meristematic divisions from the zygote (i.e., greater cell depth). Additionally, we observed increased variability in the size of viable pollen grains in resource‐depleted anthers.
Our study suggests that resource availability and shoot aging are critical determinants shaping pollen development in long‐lived plants at the intra‐individual level. These findings contribute to our understanding of how differences in male fitness can arise in plants, with implications for their evolutionary trajectory.
A case‐by‐case analysis of EPN and LPP components within a “one‐picture‐per‐emotion‐category” protocol
Authors: Schupp Harald T. , Flösch Karl‐Philipp , Flaisch Tobias 
Published: November 2024

AbstractStimuli encountered in the environment are continuously evaluated according to their affective stimulus significance. Numerous event‐related potential studies have shown that the early posterior negativity (EPN) and the late positive potential (LPP) are larger for high than low arousing emotional pictures. The group approach has been recently extended to the study of the individual case. Usually, many exemplars are used to represent an emotion category. Determining how many pictures are needed to reliably assess affective stimulus evaluation processes at the individual level is crucial when moving toward the goal of exploring idiosyncratic emotional stimuli. Accordingly, in the present study (N = 16), singular images displaying erotic, neutral, and mutilation content were shown 800 times while dense sensor EEG was recorded. At the group level, enhanced EPN and LPP amplitudes for high compared to low arousing stimuli emerged. At the single subject level, significantly larger amplitudes to the erotic than neutral image were observed in 15 out of 16 tests for the EPN and LPP components. Regarding the mutilation image, 15 participants showed a significant EPN effect, while the LPP effect was only found in 10 cases. Notably, emotional modulation of the EPN and LPP was stable over time. The present study contributes to the development of experimental designs tailored to the needs of the case‐by‐case approach. Since the process of affective stimulus evaluation is considered as a process common‐to‐all, the use of a singular stimulus exemplar may prove useful to investigate the idiosyncratic nature of emotion.
Teaching principles in Type 1 error and reproducible research using dice
Authors: Minard Charles G. 
Published: November 2024

AbstractControlling Type 1 error and encouraging reproducible research are important in clinical and translational research. These concepts are frequently discussed in lectures with mathematical language, analytic examples, and probability distributions that demonstrate the issues. However, first‐time learners in biostatistics courses focusing on fundamental topics may benefit from a more interactive demonstration in which learners participate, contribute to the results, and have a personal stake in the outcomes. This article summarizes a simple activity using dice to simulate Type 1 error that requires minimal preparation and cost. The activity may be appropriate for learners enrolled in a first course in statistics, biostatistics, or probability.
