Mediating role of neuroticism between early maladaptive schemas and negative emotionality
Authors: Mącik Dorota , Łysiak Małgorzata , Mącik Radosław 
Published: October 2019

BackgroundThe study contributes to the understanding of the relation between neuroticism, early maladaptive schemas and negative emo-tionality. Various studies of schemas and neuroticism with the connection of negative emotionality do not give an answer to the question how these three variables co-exist with each other. The main purpose of the research was to determine whether neuroti-cism strengthens the effect of schemas in the prediction of intensity of anxiety and depression, or whether the roles of these variables are independent of each other.Participants and procedure493 healthy participants were included in the study, where 66% were female respondents and the age range was 16-61 years of age (M = 31.00, SD = 11.96). The Young Schema Questionnaire Short Form Version (YSQ-S3), the Revised Personality In-ventory (NEO PI-R) by Costa and McCrae and the Personality Inventory (SPI, TPI by Spielberger & Reheiser) were used.ResultsThe results show a strong relationship between Rejection and Disconnection schemas and negative emotionality, strongly medi-ated by neuroticism. The trigger for the trait of neuroticism is the intensification of depressive traits, understood as a set of emo-tional symptoms, i.e. a high level of anxiety, experiencing frequent anger towards oneself, and simultaneously a strong sense of guilt for negative thoughts resulting in a sense of hopelessness.ConclusionsMost of the problems leading to anxiety or depression symptoms originate in schemas of Rejection and Disconnection and neu-roticism is a strong mediator for negative emotionality.

Published: October 2019

PurposeTo assess the relationship between breast arterial calcification (BAC) on mammography and carotid intima medial thickness (C-IMT) by comparing these patients with healthy control subjects.Material and methodsThe study included 100 women divided into two groups based on presence of BAC on mammo-graphy using the WIPRO GE – DMR PLUS mammography unit. The groups included 50 BAC(+) (case group) and 50 BAC(–) (control group). BAC is defined as two linear calcific deposits forming the rail-road track pattern, with ring-like appearance in cross section. Relevant previous clinical and surgical history was taken and C-IMT was measured using B-mode ultrasonography Aplio XG (Toshiba medical systems corp., Japan) using an 8-13 MHz linear transducer within 1 cm from the proximal and distal portion of the common carotid artery and the mean value was taken.ResultsAll the participants included in this study were within the age group of 40-70 years. Mean age with BAC(+) was 59.18 ± 8.59 years and BAC(–) was 50.70 ± 7.93 years. Mean C-IMT in the BAC(+) group was 0.86 ± 0.21 mm vs. 0.71 ± 0.12 mm in the BAC(–) group. Chi-square test, independent t test and Spearman’s rho correlation to assess the association of the breast arterial calcification were performed. The study showed significant difference in mean C-IMT between two groups (p value < 0.001) when correlated with age, diabetes, hypertension, presence of BAC and history of surgery and drug intake.ConclusionsBAC in mammography is independently associated with C-IMT. Furthermore, apart from age and menopausal status a statistically significant positive correlation with C-IMT was observed.
Effects of high-resolution geostationary satellite imagery on the predictability of tropical thunderstorms over Southeast Asia
Authors: Lee Kwonmin , Kim Hye-Sil , Choi Yong-Sang 
Published: October 2019

Abstract. Tropical thunderstorms cause significant damage to property and lives, and a strong research interest exists in the advances and improvement of thunderstorm predictability by satellite observations. Using high-resolution (2 km and 10 min) imagery from the geostationary satellite, Himawari-8, recently launched over Southeast Asia, we examined the earliest possible time for the prediction of thunderstorms as compared to the potential of low-resolution (4 km and 30 min) imagery of the former
satellite. We compared the lead times of high- and low-resolution imageries
of 60 tropical thunderstorms that occurred in August 2017. These
thunderstorms were identified by the decreasing trend in the 10.45 µm brightness temperature (BT11) by over 5 K per 10 min for the high-resolution imagery and 15 K per 30 min for the low-resolution
imagery. The lead time was then calculated over the time from the initial
state to the mature state of the thunderstorm, based on the time series of a minimum BT11 of thunderstorm pixels. The lead time was found to be 90–180 min for the high-resolution imagery, whereas it was only 60 min (if detectable) for the low-resolution imagery. These results indicate that
high-resolution imagery is essential for substantial disaster mitigation
owing to its ability to raise an alarm more than 2 h ahead of the
mature state of a tropical thunderstorm.

De uitleg van het begrip rechterlijke autoriteit bij de uitvaardiging van een Europees arrestatiebevel
Op 27 mei 2019 heeft het Hof van Justitie bij prejudiciële beslissing in drie zaken een uitspraak gedaan over de uitleg van het begrip ‘rechterlijke autoriteit’ in verband met het uitvaardigen van een Europees arrestatiebevel. Met een rechterlijke autoriteit wordt volgens het Hof van Justitie niet bedoeld het openbaar ministerie van een lidstaat dat niet onafhankelijk is van de uitvoerende macht, met name de minister van Justitie. Dit betekent dat in Nederland de Overleveringswet moet worden gewijzigd in de zin dat het uitvaardigen van een EAB voortaan is voorbehouden aan een rechterlijke autoriteit. Ook de Rechtbank Amsterdam moet zich beraden op de behandeling van lopende verzoeken tot overlevering afkomstig van niet-rechterlijke autoriteiten van andere lidstaten.HvJ 27 mei 2019, gevoegde zaken C-508/18 en C-82/19 PPU, OG en PI, ECLI:EU:C:2019:456 en HvJ 27 mei 2019, zaak C-509/18, Minister for Justice and Equality/PF, ECLI:EU:C:2019:457.

Massively parallel DNA sequencing offers many benefits, but major inhibitory cost factors include: (1) start-up (i.e., purchasing initial reagents and equipment); (2) buy-in (i.e., getting the smallest possible amount of data from a run); and (3) sample preparation. Reducing sample preparation costs is commonly addressed, but start-up and buy-in costs are rarely addressed. We present dual-indexing systems to address all three of these issues. By breaking the library construction process into universal, re-usable, combinatorial components, we reduce all costs, while increasing the number of samples and the variety of library types that can be combined within runs. We accomplish this by extending the Illumina TruSeq dual-indexing approach to 768 (384 + 384) indexed primers that produce 384 unique dual-indexes or 147,456 (384 × 384) unique combinations. We maintain eight nucleotide indexes, with many that are compatible with Illumina index sequences. We synthesized these indexing primers, purifying them with only standard desalting and placing small aliquots in replicate plates. In qPCR validation tests, 206 of 208 primers tested passed (99% success). We then created hundreds of libraries in various scenarios. Our approach reduces start-up and per-sample costs by requiring only one universal adapter that works with indexed PCR primers to uniquely identify samples. Our approach reduces buy-in costs because: (1) relatively few oligonucleotides are needed to produce a large number of indexed libraries; and (2) the large number of possible primers allows researchers to use unique primer sets for different projects, which facilitates pooling of samples during sequencing. Our libraries make use of standard Illumina sequencing primers and index sequence length and are demultiplexed with standard Illumina software, thereby minimizing customization headaches. In subsequent Adapterama papers, we use these same primers with different adapter stubs to construct amplicon and restriction-site associated DNA libraries, but their use can be expanded to any type of library sequenced on Illumina platforms.

Polymicrobial biofilms play important roles in oral and systemic infections. The oral plaque bacteriumStreptococcus gordoniiis known to attach to the hyphal cell wall of the fungusCandida albicansto form corn-cob like structures in biofilms. However, the role ofC. albicansin formation of polymicrobial biofilms is not completely understood. The objective of this study was to determine the role ofC. albicanstranscription factors in regulation of polymicrobial biofilms and antibiotic tolerance ofS. gordonii. The proteins secreted byC. albicansandS. gordoniiin mixed planktonic cultures were determined using mass spectrometry. Antibiotic tolerance ofS. gordoniito ampicillin and erythromycin was determined in mixed cultures and mixed biofilms withC. albicans. Additionally, biofilm formation ofS. gordoniiwithC. albicansknock-out mutants of 45 transcription factors that affect cell wall integrity, filamentous growth and biofilm formation was determined. Furthermore, these mutants were also screened for antibiotic tolerance in mixed biofilms withS. gordonii. Analysis of secreted proteomes resulted in the identification of proteins being secreted exclusively in mixed cultures. Antibiotic testing showed thatS. gordoniihad significantly increased survival in mixed planktonic cultures with antibiotics as compared to single cultures.C. albicansmutants of transcription factors Sfl2, Brg1, Leu3, Cas5, Cta4, Tec1, Tup1, Rim101 and Efg1 were significantly affected in mixed biofilm formation. Also mixed biofilms ofS. gordoniiwith mutants ofC. albicanstranscription factors, Tec1 and Sfl2, had significantly reduced antibiotic tolerance as compared to control cultures. Our data indicates thatC. albicansmay have an important role in mixed biofilm formation as well as antibiotic tolerance ofS. gordoniiin polymicrobial biofilms.C. albicansmay play a facilitating role than being just an innocent bystander in oral biofilms and infections.

AbstractAir‐stable, photosensitive copper hexadecafluorophthalocyanine (F16CuPc) is a promising n‐type semiconductor for organic electronics and optoelectronics. However, the performance of F16CuPc‐based devices is significantly limited by the poor crystallinity of thin films. Here, the charge transport and electrical contact behavior of F16CuPc nanoflakes, mechanically exfoliated from needle‐like bulk single crystals, are probed by analyzing the temperature‐dependent carrier mobility and conductance, where the multiple‐trap/release‐ and band‐like transport mechanism govern the charge transport at different temperature ranges and carrier densities. F16CuPc nanoflake‐based field effect transistors (FETs) exhibit high on‐state current and ON/OFF ratio, one‐order magnitude higher than those of reported F16CuPc nanowires, thin films, and nanoribbons. Besides, F16CuPc nanoflake‐based phototransistors exhibit attractive photoresponse performance in the spectral range of 300–750 nm even at quite low operating source–drain voltage (1 V), with maximum photoresponsivity of 19 A W−1, detectivity of 8 × 1012 Jones, and fast response speed of 36 ms, which is attributed to the single‐crystalline characteristic of nanoflakes, and the resultant efficiently exciton diffusion and charge transport. The work demonstrates that 2D organic nanoflakes with single‐crystalline feature will be promising candidates for flexible electronic and optoelectronic devices.

AbstractAmorphous oxide semiconductors have been widely studied as key materials for flat panel displays and flexible electronics devices. Recently, it has been reported that an amorphous mixed‐anion semiconductor consisting of only earth‐abundant elements, zinc oxynitride, shows high electron mobility and good performance as the channel layer of a thin‐film transistor. However, amorphous zinc oxynitrides are unstable in air. It is demonstrated that another type of earth‐abundant amorphous mixed‐anion semiconductor, amorphous zinc oxysulfide (a‐ZnOxSy) thin film, exhibits electron mobilities comparable to those of conventional amorphous oxide semiconductors, in addition to good chemical stability under ambient conditions. a‐ZnOxSy thin films with a wide compositional range are fabricated through pulsed laser deposition, by alternately depositing ZnO and ZnS. Their transport properties can be controlled by adjusting the laser fluence and anion composition, and conductive a‐ZnOxSy thin films (≈0.30 ≤ y/(x + y) ≤ ≈0.35) show high electron Hall mobilities of 10–15 cm2 V−1 s−1 at a carrier density of < ≈1018 cm−3. Furthermore, the Hall mobility can be maintained in air for at least 12 months. An a‐ZnOxSy thin‐film transistor with a bottom‐gate and top contact configuration shows clear field effect transistor behavior, although its performance is so far moderate.

AbstractIron N‐heterocyclic carbene (NHC) complexes have received a great deal of attention recently because of their growing potential as light sensitizers or photocatalysts. We present a sub‐ps X‐ray spectroscopy study of an FeIINHC complex that identifies and quantifies the states involved in the deactivation cascade after light absorption. Excited molecules relax back to the ground state along two pathways: After population of a hot 3MLCT state, from the initially excited 1MLCT state, 30 % of the molecules undergo ultrafast (150 fs) relaxation to the 3MC state, in competition with vibrational relaxation and cooling to the relaxed 3MLCT state. The relaxed 3MLCT state then decays much more slowly (7.6 ps) to the 3MC state. The 3MC state is rapidly (2.2 ps) deactivated to the ground state. The 5MC state is not involved in the deactivation pathway. The ultrafast partial deactivation of the 3MLCT state constitutes a loss channel from the point of view of photochemical efficiency and highlights the necessity to screen transition‐metal complexes for similar ultrafast decays to optimize photochemical performance.

AbstractTechnologically important composites with enhanced thermal and mechanical properties rely on the reinforcement by the high specific strength ceramic nanofibers or nanowires (NWs) with high aspect ratios. However, conventional synthesis routes to produce such ceramic NWs have prohibitively high cost. Now, direct transformation of bulk Mg‐Li alloys into Mg alkoxide NWs is demonstrated without the use of catalysts, templates, expensive or toxic chemicals, or any external stimuli. This mechanism proceeds through the minimization of strain energy at the boundary of phase transformation front leading to the formation of ultra‐long NWs with tunable dimensions. Such alkoxide NWs can be easily converted in air into ceramic MgO NWs with similar dimensions. The impact of the alloy grain size and Li content, synthesis temperature, inductive and steric effects of alkoxide groups on the diameter, length, composition, ductility, and oxidation of the produced NWs is discussed.

AbstractWe report the integration of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), cyclic voltammetry and electrochemiluminescence (ECL) responses to survey the interfacial adsorption and energy transfer processes involved in ECL on a plasmonic substrate. It was observed that a Tween 80/tripropylamine nonionic layer formed on the gold electrode of the SPR sensor, while enhancing the ECL emission process, affects the electron transfer process to the luminophore, Ru(bpy)32+, which in turn has an impact on the plasmon resonance. Concomitantly, the surface plasmon modulated the ECL intensity, which decreased by about 40 %, due to an interaction between the excited state of Ru(bpy)32+ and the plasmon. This occurred only when the plasmon was excited, demonstrating that the optically excited surface plasmon leads to lower plasmon‐mediated luminescence and that the plasmon interacts with the excited state of Ru(bpy)32+ within a very thin layer.

AbstractPhotobleaching is a major challenge in fluorescence microscopy, in particular if high excitation light intensities are used. Signal‐to‐noise and spatial resolution may be compromised, which limits the amount of information that can be extracted from an image. Photobleaching can be bypassed by using exchangeable labels, which transiently bind to and dissociate from a target, thereby replenishing the destroyed labels with intact ones from a reservoir. Here, we demonstrate confocal and STED microscopy with short, fluorophore‐labeled oligonucleotides that transiently bind to complementary oligonucleotides attached to protein‐specific antibodies. The constant exchange of fluorophore labels in DNA‐based STED imaging bypasses photobleaching that occurs with covalent labels. We show that this concept is suitable for targeted, two‐color STED imaging of whole cells.

ABSTRACTAdsorptive membranes with filtration and adsorption functions are one of the best strategies to remove harmful cations from wastewater and drinking water. In view of adsorptive capacity and regeneration cost, the most promising application field of adsorption membrane is the production of drinking water at present. An overview is given about the research progress of adsorptive membranes for removing heavy metal ions from drinking water. The removal mechanism of adsorptive membranes is explained by a schematic representation of electrical double layer. The types of adsorptive membranes are summarized. Future research outlook regarding adsorptive membranes is also discussed in order to promote research and application in drinking water for adsorptive membranes. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

AbstractTwo series of amino‐1,4‐benzoquinones (AQ1–18) based on the structural analogs of plastoquinones were synthesized and the structure–activity relationship against chronic myelogenous leukemia activity was examined. All of the synthesized compounds were tested for their cytotoxic effects on different leukemic cell lines. Of interest, AQ15 exhibited a better selectivity than the reference drug imatinib on cancer cells. Owing to this, AQ15 was selected for a further apoptosis/necrosis evaluation where AQ15‐treated K562 cells demonstrated similar apoptotic effects like imatinib‐treated cells at their IC50 values. The inhibitory effects of AQ15 and the other three compounds with various activities against eight tyrosine kinases, including ABL1, were investigated. AQ15 showed weak activity against ABL1, and a correlation was observed between the anti‐K562 and anti‐ABL1 activities. The binding mode of AQ15 into the ATP binding pocket of ABL1 kinase was predicted in silico, showing the formation of some key interactions. In addition, AQ15 was shown to suppress the downstream signaling of BCR‐ABL in K562 cells. Finally, AQ15 obviously cleaved DNA in the presence of an iron(II) complex system, indicating that this can be the major mechanism of its antiproliferative action, whereas the mild inhibition of ABL kinase is just in‐part mechanism of its overall outstanding cellular activity.
