Parenting, self‐regulation, and sibling relationship dynamics in early childhood
Authors: Su‐Russell Chang , Killoren Sarah , Palermo Francisco 
Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis study examined the associations between mothers' support of children's basic psychological needs (e.g., autonomy, competence, and relatedness) and children's sibling relationship quality in early childhood. We also examined the mediating role of older siblings' self‐regulation among these associations.BackgroundAccording to self‐determination theory (SDT; Deci & Ryan, 2000), autonomy, competence, and relatedness are fundamental psychological necessities that support children's socioemotional well‐being and social relationship qualities.MethodOur knowledge of how these family processes operate, however, is unclear, especially among families with young children (aged ≤6 years). The study involved 275 Latina, non‐Hispanic Black, or non‐Hispanic White mothers in the United States. They were asked to report their levels of support for children's basic needs, self‐regulation, and sibling relationship qualities.ResultsMothers' support of children's competence and relatedness, but not autonomy, was positively related to children's positive involvement with their younger siblings. However, mothers' support of autonomy, competence, and relatedness was unassociated with children's sibling rivalry. Further, older siblings' self‐regulation mediated the positive association between mothers' support for children's autonomy and sibling positive involvement. Older siblings' self‐regulation did not mediate the associations between mothers' support for children's relatedness or competence and their positive sibling involvement.ConclusionBoth maternal support for basic psychological needs and older siblings' self‐regulation may contribute to positive sibling relationships in early childhood.ImplicationsOur findings inform practitioners, educators, and caseworkers that interventions enhancing children's self‐regulation may foster positive sibling relationships in early childhood.
Influence of children's disaster anxiety on their mental well‐being: Focusing parental warmth and gender
Authors: Yoo Changmin 
Published: September 2024

AbstractObjectiveThis research analyzed the influence of children's anxiety of disaster on their life satisfaction and depression, as well as examined parental warmth's effect on this relationship.BackgroundRecent disasters have been causing various anxieties. However, there are not many studies that observe the association between such anxieties related to disasters and children's psychosocial well‐being.MethodThere were 2,411 children responding to questions on their disaster‐related anxiety (49.8% girls, average age 12 years old). Measures evaluating children's perceptions of their disaster‐related anxiety, warmth of their parents, life satisfaction, and depression were administered.ResultsThe results revealed a notable association between children's disaster‐related anxiety and their satisfaction. It was also observed that parental warmth partially mediated this relationship among boys, suggesting that positive parenting is related to how children's anxiety is associated with their life satisfaction. However, no significant gender differences were detected except for the path from anxiety of disaster to parental warmth.ConclusionsThis study explores the impact of children's levels of disaster‐related anxiety on their life satisfaction and highlights the crucial role of parental warmth in reducing this effect.ImplicationsWith the negative influence of disaster‐related anxiety on life satisfaction, it is important to provide various interventions that address this issue. Amid the aftermath of a disaster, appropriate psychological support and various programs should be implemented to help parents support children in coping and managing anxiety.
Institutional trading around M&A announcements
Authors: Fich Eliezer M. , Lantushenko Viktoriya , Sialm Clemens 
Published: September 2024

AbstractWe contrast the investment strategies of hedge funds and mutual funds around mergers and acquisitions (M&A). We find that hedge funds, on average, increase their holdings of soon‐to‐be takeover targets by 7.5% during the quarter before M&A announcements. Conversely, mutual funds, on average, reduce their equity holdings in impending targets by 3.0% over the same time period. The reduction in M&A holdings by mutual funds is less pronounced for more actively managed funds. Our results suggest that hedge funds enjoy superior access to private information or possess superior ability to process public information related to M&A transactions.

AimAging and age‐related diseases are an ever‐increasing social and public health problem. Allostatic load (AL) shows great potential as an interdisciplinary tool for assessing the aging of human beings but as yet lacks investigation in animal models which is our study focus at.MethodsHere a continuous study of AL was conducted on naturally aging rats. Blood samples were collected from the rats at ages of 5, 8, 14, 18, and 21 months. Dozens of blood biochemical indicators, including serum corticosterone, total cholesterol, low‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, C‐reactive protein, interleukin‐6, 25‐hydroxyvitamin D, free fatty acid, CD3+ T cell count, CD4+/CD3+ T cell ratio, CD8+/CD3+ T cell ratio, and CD3/4/8+ T cell apoptosis, were determined.ResultsAL was scored from those indicators, and we found that AL score gradually increased with age.ConclusionsAL can reliably reveal the cumulative and systemic changes in aging.

AbstractObjectiveThe objective of this pilot study was to assess physical therapists’ (PTs) knowledge and needs regarding headache diagnosis and management.BackgroundWhile there is significant research on physical therapy and cervicogenic headache, studies suggest that migraine is often under‐recognized, misdiagnosed, and inadequately treated across society despite its high prevalence and burden. Because migraine commonly includes concurrent neck pain and/or vestibular symptoms, patients with migraine may present to PTs for treatment. Very little is known about PTs' headache and migraine education, knowledge, and clinical practices.MethodsA team of headache specialists and PTs adapted a previously used headache knowledge and needs assessment survey to help ascertain PTs' knowledge and needs regarding headache treatment. The cross‐sectional survey was distributed online via Research Electronic Data Capture (REDCap) to PTs within a large healthcare system in Connecticut.ResultsAn estimated 50.5% (101/200) of PTs invited to complete the survey did so. Only 37.6% (38/101) of respondents reported receiving any formal headache or migraine education in their professional training, leading to knowledge gaps in differentiating and responding to headache subtypes. Only 45.5% (46/101) were able to identify that migraine is characterized by greater pain intensity than tension‐type headache, and 22.8% (23/101) reported not knowing the duration of untreated migraine. When asked about the aspects of care they believe their patients with headache would like to see improved, PTs reported education around prevention and appropriate medication use (61/100 [61.0%]), provider awareness of the degree of disability associated with migraine (51/100 [51.0%]), and diagnostics (47/100 [47.0%]).ConclusionThis sample of PTs from one healthcare system demonstrates knowledge gaps and variations in clinical practice for managing their patients with headache. Future research on integrating additional opportunities for headache education for physical therapists, including evidence‐based behavioral therapies, is needed to ascertain whether it is likely to improve patient care.

Published: September 2024

AbstractThe era of digitization coincides with a growing interest in social and environmental sustainability. Management scholars, therefore, turned their attention to the intersection of both trends, seeking a better understanding of how firms can manage digital sustainability. Business models are a central element in the strategic management of digital sustainability. Due to the diverse roots in the digitization literature, the sustainability literature and the business model literature, previous work on digital‐sustainable business models is highly fragmented. We, therefore, develop a strategic management framework and conduct an integrative literature review to synthesize fragmented insights, covering 134 studies published between 2007 and 2023 in leading academic journals. Examining the synthesized body of knowledge from the lens of affordances and our framework's inclusive strategic management perspective, we then identify promising avenues for further strategy research. Among others, future research should examine complementarities and conflicts between the three business model dimensions (value propositions, value creation and delivery processes, value capture mechanisms), between multiple options within each dimension, between different digital technologies, between various digital affordances, between digitalization and sustainability and between the outcomes of the triple‐bottom‐line. More efforts should also be directed towards the antecedents and boundary conditions of digital‐sustainable business models and towards questions of generalizability, especially towards generalizable theoretical mechanisms. Our framework, synthesis and research agenda support strategy scholars in advancing our understanding of business models for digital sustainability.

AbstractVisualization and analysis of damage in honey peaches is important to reduce the occurrence of impact damage during postharvest handling. The finite element simulation method was used to visualize impact damage of honey peach. Firstly, the mechanical parameters such as maximum force, damage area, damage volume and absorbed energy during the collision between honey peaches and the surfaces of alloy steel, high density polyethylene (HDPE) and expandable polyethylene (EPE) were obtained by the collision device. Then, the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio were obtained by compression tests of honey peach pulp. Finally, the process of collision between honey peaches and different material surfaces were simulated by finite element method. The results showed that the maximum error between the measured and simulated values of parameters were less than 25.1%. The study provides a reference for the selection of packaging materials for honey peaches and the biomechanical properties of various agricultural products.Practical applicationsImpact damage is one of the most common mechanical injuries in postharvest handling of honey peaches, and it is of great significance to quantitatively study the impact damage of honey peaches to reduce the occurrence of impact damage of honey peaches during packaging and transportation. The study shows the feasibility of using the finite element method for quantitative prediction and assessment of impact damage in honey peaches. In addition, the selection of suitable packaging materials can be used to effectively reduce the occurrence of impact damage of honey peaches in the transportation process. The results of the study can not only provide theoretical support for the packaging and transportation of honey peaches and other aspects, but also provide a reference for the biomechanical properties of various agricultural products.
Recognition of catfish fillets using computer vision toward automated singulation

Published: September 2024

AbstractCatfish fillets are produced from whole catfish through a series of processing operations including de‐heading, gutting, filleting, skinning, trimming, and freezing. Catfish processing facilities usually chill or freeze a certain number of catfish fillets as backup storage. Later, catfish fillets are pulled out of storage for further processing, where significant manual labor is needed to separate and flatten all the fillets for downstream processing, such as portioning, breading, and individually quick‐frozen (IQF). Due to the labor force shortage and increasing labor cost, there is a pressing need to automate the singulation task, thereby reducing labor dependence. Machine vision technology has been researched for automated quality evaluation of fish products. However, research is lacking on using machine vision for automated singulation of fish fillets. This study presents a novel machine vision system consisting of a color camera for the recognition of the folding status and orientations of catfish fillets toward realizing automated fillet singulation. A set of 400 images of catfish fillets in four different orientations was captured and annotated for each catfish fillet. Two deep learning‐based image segmentation models, that is, YOLOv8 and SegFormer‐B5, were trained on the dataset for catfish fillet recognition. YOLOv8 outperformed SegFormer in catfish recognition and achieved overall masked mAP (mean average precision) scores of 97.1% and 97.4% for underwater and out‐of‐water catfish fillets, respectively. The vision system combined with YOLOv8 has the potential to automate the recognition and subsequent handling operations of catfish fillets.Practical applicationsThe U.S. catfish industry is shrinking and facing great challenges because of international market competition and increasing production costs. The outbreak of COVID‐19 revealed a sharp deficiency in the labor force for the entire catfish industry, which has relied on manual labor for various processing operations. Mandatory lockdowns severely disrupted seafood supply chains and labor access. The tightening labor market has resulted in the delay of not only catfish processing but also production and distribution. It is imperative to increase the level of automation for processing operations such as IQF preparation process. At present, each processing facility needs 6–10 laborers for the manual catfish fillet IQF preparation process, implying that automating the process would potentially save hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual labor costs per processing line. The automation technology developed in this article has the potential to benefit the U.S. catfish processor by minimizing labor dependence and costs.

Published: September 2024

AbstractIn this study, a computational fluid dynamics and discrete element (CFD–DEM) coupling model for sorting fresh tea leaves by aspirated‐air type was established, an experimental study of adsorption on bench was carried out, and computational fluid dynamics (fluent) was used to analyze the flow characteristics of two kinds of air‐suction tea leaf models, The coupling model of CFD–DEM is established, the motion process of fresh tea leaves from being adsorbed by a porous turntable to moving and falling with the turntable was simulated, 3D printing technology was used to print the key parts of the air suction tea leaf sorting equipment, and the porous turntable adsorption test of air suction tea leaf sorting was carried out. The results show that the model with the falling guard device has no airflow at the hole of the porous turntable, and the gas field flow characteristics are stable, which can ensure the smooth falling of fresh tea leaves; The results of the bench test for the separation of fresh tea leaves by air suction are the same as those simulated by the established CFD–DEM coupling model, which indicates that the establishment of the CFD–DEM coupling model and the simulation parameters are reasonable, and the coupling model lays a foundation for the later optimization and design of the multi‐scale air suction separation mechanism for tea particles.Practical applicationsThis research is applied to the field of food engineering and sorting of fresh tea leaves. This research innovatively proposes the principle of air‐suction sorting of fresh tea leaves. The air sucked in by negative pressure can carry out the next operation and save energy better. In this study, a CFD–DEM coupling model for air‐suction separation of fresh tea leaves was established. The key components of air‐suction separation equipment were printed using 3D printing technology, and the test results were the same as the simulation results.

AbstractDeraniyagala's beaked whale (Mesoplodon hotaula) is one of the least‐known beaked whale species, with only a few of possible live sightings being documented to date. Here, vocalizations of Deraniyagala's beaked whales were recorded using drifting recording systems in the confirmed presence of this whale in the northern South China Sea (SCS) in 2021. A total of 699 qualified frequency‐modulated (FM) pulses were used to calculate frequency and duration measurements. FM pulses had a median peak frequency of 43.3 kHz and median interpulse interval (IPI) of 244.6 ms. Both the spectra measurements and clustering analysis showed the recorded clicks closely resemble the clicks of beaked whales at Palmyra Atoll (presumed to belong to Deraniyagala's beaked whale). Compared with other Ziphiidae species, interspecific differences were also observed. Distinguishing between Deraniyagala's and ginkgo‐toothed (M. ginkgodens) beaked whales with acoustic data sets seems to prove feasible. Our results also suggested that Deraniyagala's beaked whales may produce more than one subtype of FM pulses. This study presents the first description of echolocation clicks produced by this species based on the confirmed visual sightings. It is beneficial to identify the species in passive acoustic monitoring records and gain further insight into this species' vocalizations.

SummaryEukaryotic translation initiation factors (eIFs) are the primary targets for overcoming RNA virus resistance in plants. In a previous study, we mapped a BjeIF2Bβ from Brassica juncea representing a new class of plant virus resistance genes associated with resistance to Turnip mosaic virus (TuMV). However, the mechanism underlying eIF2Bβ‐mediated virus resistance remains unclear. In this study, we discovered that the natural variation of BjeIF2Bβ in the allopolyploid B. juncea was inherited from one of its ancestors, B. rapa. By editing of eIF2Bβ, we were able to confer resistance to TuMV in B. juncea and in its sister species of B. napus. Additionally, we identified an N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) demethylation factor, BjALKBH9B, for interaction with BjeIF2Bβ, where BjALKBH9B co‐localized with both BjeIF2Bβ and TuMV. Furthermore, BjeIF2Bβ recruits BjALKBH9B to modify the m6A status of TuMV viral coat protein RNA, which lacks the ALKB homologue in its genomic RNA, thereby affecting viral infection. Our findings have applications for improving virus resistance in the Brassicaceae family through natural variation or genome editing of the eIF2Bβ. Moreover, we uncovered a non‐canonical translational control of viral mRNA in the host plant.

Published: September 2024

AbstractAimsTo assess oral health, treatment burden, mortality risk, and demographics in elders with care‐resistant behaviors (CRB) in nursing homes (NH) and compare them with those without CRB.Methods and results503 participants from eight NH who received dental treatment through a mobile dental clinic were included. Their medical and dental records were screened regarding oral/dental health, treatment history, general health, demographics, and CRB. Statistical analysis was performed to show correlations between CRB and the measured parameters. Data were verified for normal distribution; a point‐biserial correlation model was used (95% CI: α = 0.05). No correlation was found between CRB and Decayed Missing Filled Teeth (DMF‐T) (rpb = ‐0.061, p = .177), as well as periodontal status (rpb = 0.004, p = .946). A negative correlation was observed between CRB and the required number of treatment procedures (rpb = ‐0.181, p < .0001), time (rpb = ‐0.118, p = .010), and costs (rpb = ‐0.100, p = .028). Sex predilection for men regarding CRB was evident (rpb = ‐0.155, p = .01). No correlation appeared between CRB and vital status (rpb = ‐0.41, p = .355).ConclusionOral health seems to be similar in institutionalized elders with or without CRB. Treatment burden was not elevated, but even reduced in elders with CRB, evincing that few/no treatment procedures were performed in those elders. CRB demonstrated a sex predilection for men. An association between CRB and increased mortality was not evident.
