Effects of experimental, network‐based social circle norm feedback on studying behavior and alcohol consumption
Authors: Giese Helge , Wegwarth Odette , Gaissmaier Wolfgang 
Published: August 2024

AbstractMisrepresentation of peer behavior has often been observed in college students and may lead to over‐expression of alcohol consumption and under‐expression of studying. While social norm feedback approaches have had mixed success in addressing these misrepresentations and altering behavior, they may have been too unspecific to be effective and did not directly assess individual perception accuracy. We thus investigated how specific, one‐time feedback on the behavioral distribution of alcohol consumption or study time of a clearly defined, individually‐adjusted social circle would affect the respective norm estimations and behavior of a class of Psychology students (n = 89 in January) across their first year of study. Students overestimated alcohol consumption and partially underestimated studying norms. While social circle feedback on alcohol consumption did not clearly affect both individual estimation accuracy and alcohol consumption, feedback on peers' studying time increased studying with no clear effect on estimation accuracy. This indicates that social circle norm feedback may be suitable to evoke behavioral effects. The correction of the detected inaccuracies did not appear to be a precondition for the feedback to be effective.

AbstractThe search for a more ecological alternative to dyeing processes, which is the most polluting textile process, has become one of the most studied topics today. In this respect, enzymatic colouring with the use of laccases offer important opportunities, but studies on enzymatic colouring are still very limited. However, in order for enzymatic dyeing to find industrial‐scale use, the colour variety must be wide. Within the scope of this study, it is an important output that this study has brought to the literature, that the variety of colours that have been obtained in the literature in enzymatic dyeing has been increased so far by working with a wide variety of precursors and their mixtures, including those that have not been tested on wool before. At the same time, the reaction mechanism of the enzymatic dye synthesis and the chemical structures of the dyes were elucidated by Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy. Beyond that, as it is known, when a new dyeing process is developed, its technical, economic and ecological advantages and disadvantages compared to the currently accepted conventional dyeing should be revealed. In this study, the colours obtained by enzymatic dyeing were matched with 1:2 metal complex dyes and then two fabrics dyed with the same colour, one enzymatic and the other with conventional method, were compared in terms of technical (colour, fastness), economic (water, energy and chemical consumption) and ecological (biological oxygen demand of wastewater, chemical oxygen demand, etc.) aspects.

AbstractRetinal ischemia/reperfusion injury (RI/R) is a common pathological process in ophthalmic diseases, which can cause severe visual impairment. The mechanisms underlying RI/R damage and repair are still unclear. Scholars are actively exploring effective intervention strategies to restore impaired visual function. With the development of nucleic acid nanomaterials, tetrahedral framework nucleic acids (tFNAs) have shown promising therapeutic potential in various fields such as stem cells, biosensors, and tumour treatment due to their excellent biological properties. Besides, miRNA‐22‐3p (miR‐22), as an important regulatory factor in neural tissue, has been proven to have positive effects in various neurodegenerative diseases. By stably constructing a complex of tetrahedral framework nucleic acids miR22 (tFNAs‐miR22), we observed that tFNAs‐miR22 had a positive effect on the repair of RI/R injury in retinal neural tissue. Previous studies have shown that tFNAs can effectively deliver miR‐22 into damaged retinal neurons, subsequently exerting neuroprotective effects. Interestingly, we found that there was a certain synergistic effect between tFNAs and miR‐22. tFNAs‐miR22 can selectively activated the ERK1/2 signalling pathway to reduce neuronal apoptosis, accelerate cell proliferation, and restore synaptic functional activity. In this study, we established a simple yet effective small molecule drug for RI/R treatment which may become a promising neuroprotectant for treating this type of vision impairment disease in the future.

AbstractLarge carnivores such as wolves (Canis lupus) at times disperse distances of several hundred kilometers, which may enable gene flow over vast distances. Such long‐distance dispersal events, however, often remain undetected, and documenting long‐distance dispersers and their movements typically depend on strong transboundary collaborations. Here, we report the dispersal of a wolf (MSV0FF) from the Alpine region of northern Slovenia to Bavaria in southern Germany, a straight‐line distance of around 300 km. The disperser originated in a pack with a genetically diverse breeding pair, where the father exhibited ancestry from the Dinaric and Italian Alpine populations. Genetic analysis of the mother indicated that she was an immigrant from a divergent population further south in the Dinaric‐Balkan region. Such a varied ancestry augments the probability of immigrants being genetically misclassified as wolf‐dog hybrids in their area of arrival, which increases the risk of unfavorable management decisions toward individuals that would be genetically highly valuable for the recipient population. Wolf MSV0FF therefore demonstrates the benefits of international collaborative monitoring networks and the value of sharing samples and analytical approaches for the monitoring of wide‐ranging species.

AbstractAimTo evaluate the renal prognosis of dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitor (DPP‐4i) users and non‐users using real‐world Asian data.MethodsUsing databases from DeSC Healthcare, Inc., patients aged 30 years or older who used antidiabetic drugs from 2014 to 2021 were identified. Propensity score matching analyses were used to compare renal prognosis between DPP‐4i users and non‐users. The primary outcomes were estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline and end‐stage kidney disease (ESKD) development in the eGFR of 45 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher and eGFR of less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2 groups, respectively.ResultsIn total, 65 375 and 9866 patients were identified in the eGFR of 45 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher and eGFR of less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2 groups, respectively. In the eGFR of 45 mL/min/1.73m2 or higher group, propensity score matching created 16 002 pairs. A significant difference was observed in the primary outcome of eGFR decline between DPP‐4i users and non‐users at 2 years (−2.31 vs. −2.56 mL/min/1.73m2: difference, 0.25 mL/min/1.73m2; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.06‐0.44) and 3 years (−2.75 vs. −3.41 mL/min/1.73m2: difference, 0.66 mL/min/1.73m2; 95% CI, 0.39‐0.93). In the eGFR less than 45 mL/min/1.73m2 group, propensity score matching created 2086 pairs. After a mean of 2.2 years of observation, ESKD development was 1.15% and 2.30% in users and non‐users, respectively, and Kaplan–Meier analysis revealed a significant difference (log rank P = .005).ConclusionsThis retrospective real‐world study revealed that patients using DPP‐4is had a better renal prognosis than those not using DPP‐4is.
Integrating spotted hyena optimization technique with generative artificial intelligence for time series forecasting
Authors: Salama Reda 
Published: August 2024

AbstractGenerative artificial intelligence (AI) has developed as an effective tool for time series predicting, revolutionizing the typical methods of prediction. Different classical approaches that depend on existing approaches and assumptions, generative AI controls advanced deep learning (DL) approaches like generative adversarial networks (GANs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs), to identify designs and connections in time series data. DL has accomplished major success in optimizing performances connected with AI. In the financial area, it can be extremely utilized for the stock market predictive, trade implementation approaches, and set of optimizers. Stock market predictive is the most important use case in this field. GANs with advanced AI approaches have become more significant in recent times. However, it can be utilized in image‐image‐translation and other computer vision (CV) conditions. GANs could not utilized greatly for stock market prediction because of their effort to establish the proper set of hyperparameters. This study develops an integrated spotted hyena optimization algorithm with generative artificial intelligence for time series forecasting (SHOAGAI‐TSF) technique. The purpose of the SHOAGAI‐TSF technique is to accomplish a forecasting process for the utilization of stock price prediction. The SHOAGAI‐TSF technique uses probabilistic forecasting with a conditional GAN (CGAN) approach for the prediction of stock prices. The CGAN model learns the data generation distribution and determines the probabilistic prediction from it. To boost the prediction results of the CGAN approach, the hyperparameter tuning can be performed by the use of the SHOA. The simulation result analysis of the SHOAGAI‐TSF technique takes place on the stock market dataset. The experimental outcomes determine the significant solution of the SHOAGAI‐TSF algorithm with other compared methods in terms of distinct metrics.
Optimal mesh size of traps for marbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) based on biological and economic factors
Authors: Koo Myungsung , Kwon Inyeong 
Published: August 2024

AbstractGear selectivity is crucial in fisheries management because it influences the size and species of fish caught, with traditional methods often basing optimal mesh size on the mature length of a target species. However, to ensure sustainable fisheries, both biological aspects of resource protection and fishing operation efficiency must be considered. This study aimed to determine the ideal mesh size for trap fishing of marbled flounder (Pseudopleuronectes yokohamae) in Gyeongsangnam‐do, South Korea, by using biological and economic factors for sustainable fisheries management. We sampled fish caught in traps of varying mesh sizes (35, 50, 65, 80, and 100 mm) and developed two models based on fish maturity, bycatch ratio, and CPUE. Model 1 used a maturity criterion of 17.8 cm, and Model 2 used the legal minimum length limit of 20 cm. Net selectivity curves indicated that the optimal mesh size ranged 50–65 mm based only on a minimum mature body length of 17.8 cm. In contrast, the optimal mesh size based on both biological and economic factors ranged 57.5–90 mm. Our findings could guide policymakers in enhancing marble flounder population management strategies through policy adjustments in mesh size and gear restrictions.
Responses of workers' organizations to the COVID‐19 crisis: Intersectional approaches of domestic workers in Mexico
Authors: Teixeira Fernanda 
Published: August 2024

AbstractThe COVID‐19 pandemic profoundly impacted the paid domestic work sector in the global South, exacerbating long‐standing inequalities experienced by domestic workers. This article explores how domestic workers' organizations (DWOs) mobilized to support this marginalized workforce during the crisis. Adopting an intersectional perspective, the study shows that DWOs in Mexico strategically used their intersecting identities as working‐class women from ethnic minorities to garner support from civil society organizations aligned with their cause. These efforts proved essential in addressing the immediate needs of domestic workers and challenging inequalities in the face of inadequate support from national and local authorities. DWOs played a crucial role in raising awareness, providing services, and shaping public policy to promote decent work in the sector. The article contributes to the body of research on domestic work by illuminating DWOs' intersectional approaches to confronting oppression and marginalization during the crisis. This has wider implications for understanding other sectors characterized by inequality, particularly where marginalized women form a significant part of the workforce.

Published: August 2024

ABSTRACTBackgroundVonoprazan, a potassium‐competitive acid blocker, is superior to traditional proton pump inhibitor (PPI) in acid suppression and has been approved in the treatment of acid‐related disorders. Accumulating evidence suggest associations between PPI use and gut microbiota, yet the effect of vonoprazan on GI microbiota is obscure.MethodsTransgenic FVB/N insulin‐gastrin (INS‐GAS) mice as a model of gastric cancer (GC) were administered vonoprazan by gavage every other day for 12 weeks. Stomachs were evaluated by histopathology, Ki‐67 proliferation index, and inflammatory cytokines. The mucosal and lumen microbiota from stomach, jejunum, ileum, cecum, and feces were detected using 16S rRNA gene sequencing.ResultsHigher incidence of intestinal metaplasia and epithelial proliferation were observed in the vonoprazan group than that in the control mice. Vonoprazan also elevated the gastric expression of proinflammatory cytokines, including TNF‐α, IL‐1β, and IL‐6. Each mice comprised a unique microbiota composition that was consistent across different niches. The structure of GI microbiota changed dramatically after vonoprazan treatment with the stomach being the most disturbed segment. Vonoprazan administration shifted the gut microbiota toward the enrichment of pathogenic Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Bilophila, and the loss of commensal Prevotella, Bifidobacterium, and Faecalibacterium. Interestingly, compared to the controls, microbial interactions were weaker in the stomach while stronger in the jejunum of the vonoprazan group.ConclusionsLong‐term vonoprazan treatment promoted gastric lesions in male INS‐GAS mice, with the disequilibrium of GI microbiome. The clinical application of vonoprazan needs to be judicious particularly among those with high risk of GC.

Published: August 2024

AbstractThe issue of turnover intention and actual turnover is a growing concern worldwide, particularly in the higher education sector. However, little attention has been paid to conducting bibliometric studies to map this phenomenon in the higher education sector. To address this gap, we conducted a bibliometric analysis using science mapping tools to examine 561 relevant documents collected from the Scopus database published from 1983 to 2023. The study aims to demonstrate an updated understanding of the conceptual structure and key players in the arena of turnover intention and actual turnover in higher education. The study examined the domain's growth over time, geographic distribution, and the contributions of publishing authors, documents, and journals to plot the intellectual structure as well as the research fronts. The study analysis reveals a sensible accumulation of scholarly insights on turnover intention and actual turnover in higher education contexts over the last four decades. This study represents one of the initial endeavours to systematically and methodically map the literature on turnover intention and actual turnover within the higher education context, employing bibliometric. The investigation offers a comprehensive synopsis of the research area's evolution and highlights potential research priorities that warrant further exploration.

Published: August 2024

AbstractObjectivesThe objective of this study is to analyse the gene expression profile of the dental pulp (DP) of human premolars subjected to 7 and 28 days of orthodontic force (OF) in vivo by using RNA sequencing. The maxillary and mandibular DP were additionally compared.MethodsHealthy patients requiring orthodontic premolar extractions were randomly assigned to one of the three groups: control (CG) where no OF was applied, 7 and 28 days, where premolars were extracted either 7 or 28 days after the application of a 50–100 g OF. Total RNA was extracted from the DP and analysed via RNA‐seq. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified using a false discovery rate and fold change threshold of <0.05 and ≥1.5, respectively. Functional analysis was performed.ResultsAfter 7 days of OF, pulp reaction indicates immune response, hypoxia, DNA damage and epigenetic regulation. After 28 days, cell adhesion, migration, organization and tissue repair are evident. The maxillary and mandibular pulp tissues react differently to OF. The maxilla exhibits minimal alterations, mostly related to immune response at 7 days and tissue repair at 28 days, whereas the mandible shows mostly DNA damage and epigenetic regulation at 7 days and return to the original state at 28 days.ConclusionsThis study demonstrates that the early reaction of the DP to OF is marked by immune response, hypoxia and DNA damage. In contrast, after 28 days, cell adhesion, migration, organization, tissue repair and dentine formation are observed. Maxillary and mandibular premolars react differently to OF: although the maxilla exhibits minimal alterations at both time points, the mandible mostly shows DNA damage, epigenetic regulation, and immune response at 7 days. These disparities could stem from different blood supplies or the lower maxillary bone density, potentially triggering faster biological changes. Our findings provide insights into the gene regulatory networks modulating DP response to OF.

SummaryBackgroundWe assessed the effects of a 20‐week combined (aerobic and resistance) exercise training programme on the inflammatory profile of prepubertal children with overweight or obesity.MethodsTotally 109 participants (10.1 ± 1.1 years, 41% girls) were randomly allocated to an exercise or control group. Adiponectin, C‐reactive protein, epidermal growth factor, insulin‐like growth factor‐1, interleukin (IL)‐1β, IL‐6, leptin, tumour necrosis factor‐α and vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) were analysed in plasma. Total white blood cell (WBC) count and immune subpopulations (eosinophils, basophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes and monocytes) were also determined.ResultsNo intervention effect was found for any of the analysed biomarkers (all p ≥ 0.05). We observed a significant sex by intervention interaction for IL‐1β (p = 0.03). When stratifying the sample by sex, the exercise programme induced a significant effect on IL‐1β levels (mean Z‐score difference, 0.66 [95% confidence interval 0.32–1.01]) in girls, but not in boys. A lower number of girls in the exercise group showed a meaningful reduction in IL‐1β (i.e., ≥0.2 standard deviations) than in the control group (15% vs. 85%, p = 0.01).ConclusionsThis exercise programme failed to improve the inflammatory profile in prepubertal children with overweight/obesity. Future studies should explore the effect of longer exercise interventions and in combination with diet.

AbstractPurposeThe objective was the comparison of an occlusal device (OD), and sleep hygiene and progressive muscle relaxation (SH & PMR) on perceived stress and sleep bruxism activity (burst/episode and episode/hour) in participants with sleep bruxism.Material and MethodsSixty‐six participants with self‐reported sleep bruxism were selected and randomly allocated into two groups: OD group or SH & PMR group. Assessment of perceived stress and sleep bruxism activity were the primary outcomes. The Perceived Stress Scale‐10 (PSS‐10 scale) was used to measure perceived stress and bruxism episodes/hour and bursts/episode recorded by electromyography of masseter and temporalis. These outcomes were assessed at baseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year. The paired t‐test assessed changes in PSS‐10 scores and sleep bruxism activity within the same group over different time points (baseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year). The unpaired t‐test compared scores between two groups (OD and SH & PMR) at each time point to evaluate intervention differences. The chi‐square test compared gender distribution between both groups.ResultsPSS‐10 scores were found to decrease with the OD at 1 month and 6 months compared to baseline and SH & PMR at all subsequent follow‐ups. This decrease was not statistically significant (p > 0.05) between the OD and SH & PMR groups at all follow‐ups. OD and SH & PMR significantly reduced bruxism episodes/hour and bursts/episode at all follow‐ups (p < 0.05). There were no adverse effects related to any intervention.ConclusionsThe OD and SH & PMR both effectively reduced PSS‐10 scores over 6 months and significantly decreased bruxism episodes and bursts per episode. Both methods are safe and effective for managing sleep bruxism and reducing stress.
