IntroductionThis case study aimed to demonstrate how cooking class activities held in collaboration with the Ajinomoto Foundation (TAF) and a consumer cooperative after the Great East Japan Earthquake contributed to the resilience of the affected community.MethodsWith reference to the logic model, evaluation indicators for the case study were established. We focused on the Iwate Seikatsu Kyodo Kumiai (Iwate Co-op). We organized 120 continuation cases out of the eight-and-a-half-year activity records of the project owned by TAF (April 2012 to March 2020). The Iwate Co-op was one of the 120 continuing cases and had special features, including awareness that its members were responsible for the community.ResultsThe collaboration revealed three effects. First, owing to the encounter and collaboration with TAF, the cooking class was continuously conducted even after TAF withdrew from the disaster-affected areas. Second, the Iwate Co-op trained some of its members as food support staff to run the cooking class independently and was actively involved in obtaining the necessary budget for the operation, consequently leading to the independent activation of member activities. Third, they developed a cooking class project in inland areas other than disaster-stricken areas, assuming that they could incorporate the project into their existing activities, as food problems affected people beyond disaster victims.ConclusionThe collaborative food support project of the Iwate Co-op and TAF contributed to the resilience of the affected people and communities by strengthening bonds and solidarity among residents and organizations. The key to success was the fusion of a traditional sense of independence in the co-op with TAF’s mission and technical know-how. The partnership between the Iwate Co-op and TAF allowed the former to aim toward developing food support activities in the affected areas, accelerating the resilience of the community in the Iwate Prefecture.

IntroductionCo-fractionation mass spectrometry couples native-like separations of protein-protein complexes with mass spectrometric proteome analysis for global characterization of protein networks. The technique allows for both de novo detection of complexes and for the detection of subtle changes in their protein composition. The typical requirement for fine-grained fractionation of &gt;80 fractions, however, translates into significant demands on sample quantity and mass spectrometric instrument time, and represents a significant barrier to experimental replication and the use of scarce sample material (ex. patient biopsies).MethodsWe developed mini-Complexome Profiling (mCP), a streamlined workflow with reduced requirements for fractionation and, thus, biological material and laboratory and instrument time. Soluble and membrane-associated protein complexes are extracted from biological material under mild conditions, and fractionated by Blue Native electrophoresis using commercial equipment. Each fraction is analysed by data-independent acquisition mass spectrometry, and known protein complexes are detected based on the coelution of known components using a novel R package with a controlled false discovery rate approach. The tool is available to the community on a GitHub repository.ResultsmCP was benchmarked using HEK293 cell lysate and exhibited performance similar to established workflows, but from a significantly reduced number of fractions. We then challenged mCP by performing comparative complexome analysis of cardiomyocytes isolated from different chambers from a single mouse heart, where we identified subtle chamber-specific changes in mitochondrial OxPhos complexes.DiscussionThe reduced sample and instrument time requirements open up new applications of co-fractionation mass spectrometry, specifically for the analysis of sparse samples such as human patient biopsies. The ability to identify subtle changes between similar tissue types (left/right ventricular and atrial cardiomyocytes) serves as a proof of principle for comparative analysis of mild/asymptomatic disease states.

Published: August 2024

BackgroundRestricted and repetitive behavior (RRB) is a core symptom of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The structure of RRB subcategories and their relationship with atypical sensory processing in Japan are not well understood. This study examined subcategories of the RRB in Japanese children with ASD and explored their relationship with sensory processing.MethodsA total of 103 children and adolescents with ASD participated in this study, with more than 70% having a co-occurring intellectual disability. First, exploratory factor analysis of the RRB items of the Social Responsiveness Scale second edition (SRS-2) was conducted to identify RRB subcategories. Second, Spearman correlation and multiple regression analysis were run to examine relationships between the RRB subcategories of SRS-2 and subsections of the Short Sensory Profile.ResultsExploratory factor analysis indicated a two factors solution; repetitive sensory and motor behavior and insistence on sameness. Multiple regression analysis suggested that Movement Sensitivity and Auditory Filtering were associated with insistence on sameness. Furthermore, Underresponsive/Seeks Sensation, Visual/Auditory Sensitivity, and diagnosis of intellectual disabilities were associated with repetitive sensory and motor behavior.ConclusionsFindings indicate that RRB subcategories are differently related to sensory processing patterns in children with ASD. These results suggested that RRB subcategories are beneficial to consider the relationship between RRB and sensory processing.

Published: August 2024

IntroductionMedication-related osteonecrosis of the Jaw (MRONJ) is an adverse drug reaction that affects the mandible and maxilla of patients exposed to BMA and AA therapies, causing the progressive destruction and death of bone. To date, oral health preventive measures remain the most effective strategy to reduce MRONJ incidence, and, in this sense, the major goal is to diagnose, treat, and eradicate any oral diseases that could compromise oral health. The present systematic review aims to investigate the awareness of MRONJ among patients assuming BMAs.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed, selecting studies that concern the awareness of patients of the risk of MRONJ.ResultsSix studies were included in this review. In total, 483 patients were evaluated. Of the 483 included patients, 391 were not aware of the possibility of MRONJ onset (391/483, 81%) and 92 were aware of it (92/483, 19%).DiscussionThe problem of patient's lack of awareness with respect to MRONJ risk presents different layers of complexity (“what?”, “who?”, “where?”, “when?” and “why?”). Among its causal factors, there are an inadequate level of communication with patients and the lack of collaboration between healthcare professionals, which is related to an individualistic view of liability and deontological duties. MRONJ is a drug adverse reaction that can greatly affect the quality of life of patients if not promptly diagnosed and treated. Therefore, patients must be fully aware of the risks of adverse and the importance of preventive measures, which imply effective and exhaustive communication by each member of the multidisciplinary team. Effective teamwork and collaborative care should be promoted to positively impact patients' awareness.

IntroductionAttaining movement proficiency under various constraints is well-researched; of particular interest here is how conscious processing and self-consciousness influence learning and performance. Current research relevant to these variables e.g., reinvestment, tends to utilize quantitative methods and thus overlooks a potentially rich source of understanding. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to apply a qualitative approach to explore the cognitive processes and self-consciousness within a less practiced population of adults participating in a non-competitive leisure activity.MethodsTo achieve this, eleven semi-structured interviews were conducted with adult women learning or relearning to ride a bicycle.ResultsUsing thematic analysis, two distinct themes were evident and corroborated those illustrated in scales such as the movement-specific reinvestment scale. These themes included Conscious Processing, Recalling Experiences and Movement Analysis, in addition to Style of Movement, and Self-Consciousness. Anxiety also emerged as an additional and relevant theme to learning a new complex movement skill.DiscussionThe findings indicated that participating women attuned to their movements to the extent that there was a conscious attempt to control their movements, but less so regarding movements being altered by self-awareness. Whilst further research is required, qualitative methods provide a promising basis for exploring the cognitive process involved with the conscious process involved in learning.

PurposeDespite a growing number of women entering medical school, a small proportion of women pursue surgical specialties, including pediatric surgery. This multi-center study assesses gender-based differences in measures of scholarly productivity and distribution of faculty positions.MethodsThis is a retrospective web-based study of all pediatric surgeons at twelve large institutions across the United States. Data published by the American Association of Medical Colleges was compiled and analyzed to understand the gender distributions of medical students, general surgery residents, and pediatric surgery fellows. P-values were calculated using two-sided Student's independent t-tests and chi-squared tests.ResultsThere have been a growing number of women applying into pediatric surgery, but the proportion of women matriculating into these fellowships is not concordant. Women are still underrepresented (28%) amongst the pediatric surgeon workforce. A total of 111 pediatric surgeons were identified for this study, which included 31 women (28%) and 80 males (72%). There was a significant difference in the distribution across academic ranks between genders (p &lt; 0.001). Women had significantly fewer publications per year after residency, fewer total publications, and a lower h-index in comparison to men (p &lt; .001, p = .005, p = .002, respectively).ConclusionsWomen are not only underrepresented in pediatric surgery, but there are also significant differences in the distribution of faculty positions and scholarly productivity when comparing men and women. There is a pressing need to improve gender diversity and identify barriers that may prevent women from advancing to leadership positions and achieving professional success.

IntroductionThis study was conducted to compare the effects of nisin (NIS) and ionophore antibiotic monensin (MON) on the growth performance, rumen fermentation, nutrient digestion and plasma metabolites of fattening Hu sheep.MethodsThirty-six male Hu sheep (23.5 ± 1.0 kg) were divided into two blocks based on BW (low BW and high BW). Sheep within each block were then allotted to 9 pens respectively (two sheep/pen). Pens within each block were randomly assigned to one of three dietary treatments: (1) basal diet (CON); (2) basal diet + 40 mg/kg DM of MON; (3) basal diet + 274.5 mg/kg DM of NIS. The study lasted 9 weeks, with the initial 2 weeks for adaptation and the subsequent 7 weeks for treatment.ResultsThe results showed that both NIS and MON addition had no impacts on average daily gain (ADG), dry matter intake (DMI), and feed conservation rate (G:F) of sheep (p &gt; 0.05). The digestibility of ether extract (EE) was lower in the MON-fed and NIS-fed sheep (p &lt; 0.01) than in the CON group, whereas crude protein (CP) digestibility was higher in the MON-fed sheep compared to those fed NIS (p &lt; 0.05). Both NIS and MON supplementation decreased acetate levels and acetate/propionate ratio in the rumen of Hu sheep (p &lt; 0.05). Sheep fed MON exhibited higher total cholesterol concentrations (p &lt; 0.05) compared to the CON and NIS groups. However, there were no significant differences in other plasma metabolites, including blood urea nitrogen (BUN), total bile acid, triglyceride, total protein, albumin, globulin, glucose, etc., among the three groups (p &gt; 0.05).DiscussionIn conclusion, dietary addition of NIS and MON altered the rumen fermentation mode by reducing acetate levels, with no discernible effects on the growth performance of the fattening Hu sheep.

Published: August 2024

In this article, a miniaturized and highly stable frequency-selective rasorber (FSR) incorporating an embedded transmission window is designed. This FSR consists of a lossy layer loaded with resistors, an air layer, and a bandpass layer. The lossy layer is provided with a rectangular, square ring structure loaded with four 180 Ω resistors and four quadrilateral metal plates. The four metal plates are connected to the four corners of the inner ring around the square ring and are radially distributed along the diagonal. The bandpass layer is a square metal patch that a cross-ring slot structure is loaded inside of, and the cross points lie in the direction along the diagonal of the unit. The inner boundary of the cross-ring is composed of two mutually perpendicular and long rectangular elements. This FSR shows an embedded transmission window from 3.63 GHz to 3.80 GHz and has a transmission rate of 93% at 3.72 GHz. Moreover, both sides of the transmission band, namely, 1.86–3.35 GHz and 3.99–8.28 GHz, have an absorption rate of more than 80% and bilateral relative bandwidth of more than 50%. In addition, this structure exhibits excellent miniaturization performance, polarization insensitivity, and angular stability. Finally, a prototype of the designed FSR is processed and measured. The measured results are basically consistent with the simulation results.

Published: August 2024

Nos últimos anos, o aumento da procura pelo turismo praticado em áreas naturais tem ganhado maior ênfase, possivelmente porque a natureza oferece tranquilidade e liberdade para as pessoas que buscam esses ambientes e saírem de sua rotina na cidade. Em Roraima, vários locais que proporcionam um contato com a natureza, onde as pessoas costumam fazer trilhas para a prática de atividades em espaços naturais. Diante do exposto, esta pesquisa buscou realizar uma descrição situacional sobre as trilhas na Serra Grande, no município do Cantá – RR. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa e bibliográfica, e foi adotada a observação participante, como perspectiva de abordagem. Foi realizado registro fotográfico e anotações sobre os pontos relevantes das trilhas da Serra Grande, com o auxílio do aplicativo WIKILOK. Houve imersão no campo com guias para vivência real nas trilhas. Percebeu-se que as três trilhas mais frequentadas apresentam belezas naturais, cachoeiras, piscinas naturais e uma diversidade de flora e fauna. Por outro lado, essas trilhas não proporcionam segurança para os visitantes, há falta de manutenção, infraestrutura e limpeza nas trilhas. Espera-se que os operadores de turismo e o poder público disponibilizem maior atenção à Serra Grande, a fim de melhorar este espaço e direcionar medidas que minimizem os impactos e prejuízos pela visitação não orientada por planejamento.
The impact of Spiritual Intelligence on Innovative Work Behaviour: a mediator, moderator model of Organizational Culture and Psychological Empowerment in selected Banks in Colombo District in Sri Lanka
Authors: Abeyatunge Walliwala Gamage Nadeesha Nirmanee 
Published: August 2024

To be competitive and maintain long-term viability, each company must have an innovative work culture. Because of its strong religious heritage, Sri Lanka is seen as a spiritual nation; nevertheless, this has not gotten sufficient domestic attention to enhance the much-needed advancements. Thus, the primary goal of this research is to determine the relationship between Innovative Work Behavior (IWB) and Spiritual Intelligence (SI), as well as the degree to which Organization Culture (OC) and Psychological Empowerment (PE) function as moderators and mediators, respectively. To accomplish these study goals, a mixed approach was used, in which 287 employee responses from two of Sri Lanka's top commercial banks in the private sector were gathered using a standardized questionnaire for quantitative analysis. Additionally, ten employees were considered for the qualitative study through in-person and telephone interviews. According to the quantitative analysis, the study concludes that, there’s a favourable influence of SI on IWB, yet moderate, with OC acting as a partial mediating factor on IWB, while PE strengthening the relationship yet not significantly. The qualitative analysis precisely validated the findings of the previously described quantitative findings.

The rapid identification of bacterial Gram types and their viability, as well as efficient bacterial elimination are crucial for managing bacterial infections yet present important challenges. In this research, we utilized long-chain-tailed BODIPY derivatives to address these hurdles. Our data indicated that these derivatives can distinguish bacteria types and their viability in aqueous solutions through a concise turn-on fluorescent response. Among them,
B-8
stained both live and dead bacteria, and
B-14
offered a wash-free staining.
B-18
demonstrated the highest affinity to selectively fluorescent label viable gram-positive bacteria with a 53.2-fold fluorescent enhancement. Confocal imaging confirmed that
B-18
can serve as an effective membrane-specific probe for facilitating the typing between gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria in a wash-free manner. Additionally,
B-18
displayed selective photodynamic inactivation at 1 μM toward gram-positive bacteria. In vivo studies variformed the ideal photodynamic therapeutic efficacy of
B-18
against methicillin-resistant
Staphylococcus aureus
in mice wound infections.

В статье представлены результаты хронометража поведенческих актов телок в разные возрастные периоды. Цель исследований заключалась в сравнительной оценке возрастных изменений поведенческих реакций телок красной степной и красно-пестрой пород. Исследования проведены в ООО «Риал-Агро», расположенном в равнинной зоне Прохладненского района Кабардино-Балкарской Республики. Объектом исследований являлись телки красной степной и красно-пёстрой пород. В отличие от молозивного периода с 6-месячного возраста регистрировали существенные и достоверные различия по анализируемым поведенческим признакам. Так, по времени приема корма телки красно-пестрой породы превосходили сверстниц красной степной породы на 18 мин. (Р>0,99), аналогично - по времени, затрачиваемому на жвачный процесс (на 15 мин., Р>0,99) и движение (на 16 мин.). На отдых больше суточного времени затрачивали особи красной степной породы на 36 мин. (Р>0,99). Аналогичные тенденции и различия между группами телок установлены в последующие периоды выращивания - в годовалом возрасте и к возрасту первого осеменения. Анализ возрастных изменений поведенческих актов показал, что к 18-месячному возрасту по сравнению с молозивным периодом продолжительность пищевых реакций у всех групп телок увеличилась в среднем на 323-347 мин., или на 22,4-24,1% суточного времени, а продолжительность отдыха снизилась с 1217-1239 до 845-879 мин., или на 41-44% и в большей степени у телок красной степной породы.
The article presents the results of study of behavioral changes of heifers in different age periods. The purpose of the study was a comparative assessment of age changes in the behavior of heifers of the red steppe and red-and-white breeds. The studies were conducted in LLC “Rial-Agro”, located in the low lands of the Prokhladnensky district of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic. The objects of research were heifers of the red steppe and red and white breeds. Unlike heifers in the colostrum period, 6 month aged heifers registered significant differences in the analyzed behavioral characteristics. Thus, feeding time of red-and-white breed heifers exceeded their peers of the red steppe breed by 18 minutes (P> 0.99), accordingly chewing time exceeded by 15 minutes, P> 0.99 and motion time by 16 minutes. Heifers of red steppe breed rested 36 minutes longer during the day (P> 0.99). Similar trends and differences between groups of heifers were established in subsequent growth periods - at the age of one year and by the age of the first insemination. Analysis of age changes in behavior showed that by 18 months of age compared with the colostrum period, the duration of feeding reactions in all groups of heifers increased in average by 323-347 minutes or by 22.4-24.1% a day, and the duration of rest decreased from 1217-1239 to 845-879 minutes or by 41-44% and to a greater extent in heifers of the red steppe breed.
