Published: June 2024

IntroductionThis meta-analysis investigates the relationship between coach leadership behaviors and athlete satisfaction and group cohesion within the realm of Chinese sports. The study also explores player sex and player classification as potential moderating variables. The primary focus is on evaluating the impact of coaching behaviors, as measured by the Leadership Scale for Sports, on athlete satisfaction and group cohesion.MethodsStandard literature searches from China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang academic databases produced 26 studies encompassing a total of 319 effect sizes and a participant pool of 7,121 athletes across various sports.ResultsUsing the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) to examine relevant data, results reveal a moderate and positive association between coach leadership and athlete satisfaction (ES = 0.412). Specifically, training and instruction (ES = 0.531), positive feedback (ES = 0.526), social support, and democratic decision-making exhibit positive effects, while autocratic behavior demonstrates a marginal positive effect. Similarly, a moderate positive relationship is identified between coach leadership and overall group cohesion (ES = 0.275), with training and instruction (ES = 0.396), social support (ES = 0.356), positive feedback, and democratic behavior positively influencing cohesion. Conversely, autocratic behavior has a small negative impact on cohesion. Furthermore, female athletes (ES = 0.603) and professional players (ES = 0.544) display stronger positive associations between coach leadership and satisfaction.ConclusionThese findings highlight the significance of diverse coaching behaviors aligned with player characteristics for fostering positive athlete satisfaction and group cohesion within the Chinese sports context, offering valuable guidance to Chinese coaches aiming to enhance their coaching strategies.

ContextIn 2022, four severe cases of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) were reported in patients from informal settlements around Cayenne, the main city in French Guiana. Regional Health Agency (RHA) was commissioned by the French Public Health Agency to estimate the seroprevalence of Hantavirus infections in the neighborhoods of confirmed cases of HPS. RHA then commissioned the French Red Cross (FRC) mobile public health team, providing support in environmental health issues to the population living in informal settlements by health mediators, to facilitate the investigation. The objective of this study was to describe the health mediators' activities set up to improve the efficiency of the investigation.MethodsThe health mediators' team was specifically trained by virologist and infectiologist specialized in HPS. They helped the investigating team and health workers at various steps of the investigation. These interventions are then described in the results section.ResultsThe investigation took place between Nov. 2022 and March 2023 in three neighborhoods. During the pre-investigation activities, the mediators raised awareness about HPS of 343 people, among whom 319 (93%) planned to participate in the investigation. Altogether, 274 people finally participated in the investigation, including, i.e., 30.8% of the estimated population living in the three concerned settlements. The global proportion of patients with positive IgG anti-Hantavirus was 5.1%. The health mediators team supported the following steps: preliminary meetings and training modules, identification of resource persons, field visits and awareness and information campaigns (pre-investigation); on field data collection in informal settlements (per-investigation) and communication of individual results, public feedback meeting (post-investigation).Discussion/ConclusionThe involvement of mediators was probably a factor in the success of the public health response to socially vulnerable people living in the investigated neighborhoods. The preliminary prevention activities helped to raise awareness of the health risk and to enroll participants. Health mediation and outreach activities seem relevant tools of epidemiological field investigations in diseases affecting inhabitants of informal settlements.

Published: June 2024

IntroductionPrevious studies highlight the negative impact of adverse socioeconomic conditions throughout life on motor skills and cognitive health. Factors such as cognitive activity, physical activity, lifestyle, and socioeconomic position significantly affect general health status and brain health. This pilot study investigates the relationships among the Area Deprivation Index (ADI)—a measure of neighborhood-level socioeconomic deprivation, brain structure (cortical volume and thickness), and cognitive status in adults in Arizona. Identifying measures sensitive to ADI could elucidate mechanisms driving cognitive decline.MethodsThe study included 22 adults(mean age = 56.2 ± 15.2) in Arizona, residing in the area for over 10 years(mean = 42.7 ± 15.8). We assessed specific cognitive domains using the NeuroTrax™ cognitive screening test, which evaluates memory, executive function, visual–spatial processing, attention, information processing speed, and motor function. We also measured cortical thickness and volume in 10 cortical regions using FreeSurfer 7.2. Linear regression tests were conducted to examine the relationships between ADI metrics, cognitive status, and brain health measures.ResultsResults indicated a significant inverse relationship between ADI metrics and memory scores, explaining 25% of the variance. Both national and state ADI metrics negatively correlated with motor skills and global cognition (r’s &lt; −0.40, p’s &lt; 0.05). In contrast, ADI metrics generally positively correlated with motor-related volumetric and cortical thickness measures (r’s &gt; 0.40, p’s &lt; 0.05).ConclusionThe findings suggest that neighborhood-level social deprivation might influence memory and motor status, primarily through its impact on motor brain health.
Investigating the effects of cytokine biomarkers on HIV incidence: a case study for individuals randomized to pre-exposure prophylaxis vs. control

Published: June 2024

IntroductionUnderstanding and identifying the immunological markers and clinical information linked with HIV acquisition is crucial for effectively implementing Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV acquisition. Prior analysis on HIV incidence outcomes have predominantly employed proportional hazards (PH) models, adjusting solely for baseline covariates. Therefore, models that integrate cytokine biomarkers, particularly as time-varying covariates, are sorely needed.MethodsWe built a simple model using the Cox PH to investigate the impact of specific cytokine profiles in predicting the overall HIV incidence. Further, Kaplan-Meier curves were used to compare HIV incidence rates between the treatment and placebo groups while assessing the overall treatment effectiveness. Utilizing stepwise regression, we developed a series of Cox PH models to analyze 48 longitudinally measured cytokine profiles. We considered three kinds of effects in the cytokine profile measurements: average, difference, and time-dependent covariate. These effects were combined with baseline covariates to explore their influence on predictors of HIV incidence.ResultsComparing the predictive performance of the Cox PH models developed using the AIC metric, model 4 (Cox PH model with time-dependent cytokine) outperformed the others. The results indicated that the cytokines, interleukin (IL-2, IL-3, IL-5, IL-10, IL-16, IL-12P70, and IL-17 alpha), stem cell factor (SCF), beta nerve growth factor (B-NGF), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-A), interferon (IFN) alpha-2, serum stem cell growth factor (SCG)-beta, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB, granulocyte macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL), and cutaneous T-cell-attracting chemokine (CTACK) were significantly associated with HIV incidence. Baseline predictors significantly associated with HIV incidence when considering cytokine effects included: age of oldest sex partner, age at enrollment, salary, years with a stable partner, sex partner having any other sex partner, husband's income, other income source, age at debut, years lived in Durban, and sex in the last 30 days.DiscussionOverall, the inclusion of cytokine effects enhanced the predictive performance of the models, and the PrEP group exhibited reduced HIV incidences compared to the placebo group.

BackgroundPrevious studies have shown social activity is associated with reduced risk of health outcomes. However, among older people (≥65 years) who were socially inactive at baseline, limited study explored whether increased participation in social activity in later life was associated with reduced risk of health outcomes; therefore, using the data from the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey, the study was performed.MethodsThe study outcomes were 10-year all-cause mortality (sample number = 9,984) and 10-year heart diseases (sample number = 7,496). The exposure was the change of social activity frequency. Cox regression analysis was used for data analysis.ResultsDuring the follow-up, there were 6,407 all-cause mortalities and 1,035 heart diseases, respectively. Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that cumulative incidences of all-cause mortality were significantly lower in participants with changes into more frequent social activity (log-rank p &lt; 0.001), while no significant difference was observed for heart diseases (log-rank p = 0.330). Compared with the subgroup who never participated in social activity at baseline, adjusted HRs of all-cause mortality were 0.79 (95% CI: 0.70–0.90, p &lt; 0.001), 0.78 (95% CI: 0.63–0.96, p = 0.019), 0.74 (0.59–0.92, p = 0.006), and 0.70 (95% CI: 0.56–0.88, p = 0.002) for the subgroup of switching to sometimes, the subgroup of switching to once a month, the subgroup of switching to once a week, and the subgroup of switching to everyday, respectively. The corresponding HRs of heart diseases were 0.83 (95% CI: 0.65–1.08, p = 0.170), 0.82 (95% CI: 0.51–1.31, p = 0.412), 0.91 (0.58–1.42, p = 0.675) and 0.75 (95% CI: 0.47–1.20, p = 0.227), respectively. Stratified and sensitivity analyses revealed similar results.ConclusionAmong older people who never participated in social activity, increased participation in social activity in later life was associated with reduced risk of all-cause mortality, but was not associated with reduced risk of heart diseases.

Ambitious biodiversity goals to protect 30% or more of the Earth’s surface by 2030 (30x30) require strategic near-term targets. To define areas that must be protected to prevent the most likely and imminent extinctions, we propose Conservation Imperatives—16,825 unprotected sites spanning ~164 Mha of the terrestrial realm that harbor rare and threatened species. We estimate that protecting the Conservation Imperatives would cost approximately US$169 billion (90% probability: US$146—US$228 billion). Globally, 38% of the 16,825 sites are either adjacent to or within 2.5 km of an existing protected area, potentially reducing land acquisition and management costs. These sites should be prioritized for conservation action over the next 5 years as part of a broader strategy to expand the global protected area network. The expansion of global protected areas between 2018 and 2023 incorporated only 7% of sites harboring range-limited and threatened species, highlighting a renewed urgency to conserve these habitats. Permanently protecting only 0.74% of land found in the tropics, where Conservation Imperatives are concentrated, could prevent the majority of predicted near-term extinctions once adequately resourced. We estimate this cost to be from US$29 billion to US$46 billion per year over the next 5 years. Multiple approaches will be required to meet long-term protection goals: providing rights and titles to Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) conserving traditional lands, government designation of new protected areas on federal and state lands, and land purchase or long-term leasing of privately held lands.

ObjectiveThe development of surgical microscope-associated cameras has given rise to a new operating style embodied by hybrid microsurgical and exoscopic operative systems. These platforms utilize specialized camera systems to visualize cranial neuroanatomy at various depths. Our study aims to understand how different camera settings in a novel hybrid exoscope system influence image quality in the context of neurosurgical procedures.MethodsWe built an image database using captured cadaveric dissection images obtained with a prototype version of a hybrid (microsurgical/exoscopic) operative platform. We performed comprehensive 4K-resolution image capture using 76 camera settings across three magnification levels and two working distances. Computer algorithms such as structural similarity (SSIM) and mean squared error (MSE) were used to measure image distortion across different camera settings. We utilized a Laplacian filter to compute the overall sharpness of the acquired images. Additionally, a monocular depth estimation deep learning model was used to examine the image's capability to visualize the depth of deeper structures accurately.ResultsA total of 1,368 high-resolution pictures were captured. The SSIM index ranged from 0.63 to 0.85. The MSE was nearly zero for all image batches. It was determined that the exoscope could accurately detect both the sharpness and depth based on the Laplacian filter and depth maps, respectively. Our findings demonstrate that users can utilize the full range of camera settings available on the exoscope, including adjustments to aperture, color saturation, contrast, sharpness, and brilliance, without introducing significant image distortions relative to the standard mode.ConclusionThe evolution of the camera incorporated into a surgical microscope enables exoscopic visualization during cranial base surgery. Our result should encourage surgeons to take full advantage of the exoscope's extensive range of camera settings to match their personal preferences or specific clinical requirements of the surgical scenario. This places the exoscope as an invaluable asset in contemporary surgical practice, merging high-definition imaging with ergonomic design and adaptable operability.

Domestic ducks (Anas platyrhynchos domesticus) are resistant to most of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus (HPAIV) infections. In this study, we characterized the lung proteome and phosphoproteome of ducks infected with the HPAI H5N1 virus (A/duck/India/02CA10/2011/Agartala) at 12 h, 48 h, and 5 days post-infection. A total of 2082 proteins were differentially expressed and 320 phosphorylation sites mapping to 199 phosphopeptides, corresponding to 129 proteins were identified. The functional annotation of the proteome data analysis revealed the activation of the RIG-I-like receptor and Jak-STAT signaling pathways, which led to the induction of interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) expression. The pathway analysis of the phosphoproteome datasets also confirmed the activation of RIG-I, Jak-STAT signaling, NF-kappa B signaling, and MAPK signaling pathways in the lung tissues. The induction of ISG proteins (STAT1, STAT3, STAT5B, STAT6, IFIT5, and PKR) established a protective anti-viral immune response in duck lung tissue. Further, the protein–protein interaction network analysis identified proteins like AKT1, STAT3, JAK2, RAC1, STAT1, PTPN11, RPS27A, NFKB1, and MAPK1 as the main hub proteins that might play important roles in disease progression in ducks. Together, the functional annotation of the proteome and phosphoproteome datasets revealed the molecular basis of the disease progression and disease resistance mechanism in ducks infected with the HPAI H5N1 virus.
Self-Association and Microhydration of Phenol: Identification of Large-Amplitude Hydrogen Bond Librational Modes
Authors: Mihrin Dmytro , Feilberg Karen Louise , Larsen René Wugt 
Published: June 2024

The self-association mechanisms of phenol have represented long-standing challenges to quantum chemical methodologies owing to the competition between strongly directional intermolecular hydrogen bonding, weaker non-directional London dispersion forces and C–H⋯π interactions between the aromatic rings. The present work explores these subtle self-association mechanisms of relevance for biological molecular recognition processes via spectroscopic observations of large-amplitude hydrogen bond librational modes of phenol cluster molecules embedded in inert neon “quantum” matrices complemented by domain-based local pair natural orbital-coupled cluster DLPNO-CCSD(T) theory. The spectral signatures confirm a primarily intermolecular O-H⋯H hydrogen-bonded structure of the phenol dimer strengthened further by cooperative contributions from inter-ring London dispersion forces as supported by DLPNO-based local energy decomposition (LED) predictions. In the same way, the hydrogen bond librational bands observed for the trimeric cluster molecule confirm a pseudo-C3 symmetric cyclic cooperative hydrogen-bonded barrel-like potential energy minimum structure. This structure is vastly different from the sterically favored “chair” conformations observed for aliphatic alcohol cluster molecules of the same size owing to the additional stabilizing London dispersion forces and C–H⋯π interactions between the aromatic rings. The hydrogen bond librational transition observed for the phenol monohydrate finally confirms that phenol acts as a hydrogen bond donor to water in contrast to the hydrogen bond acceptor role observed for aliphatic alcohols.

Le Songe de Marcantonio Raimondi. Proposition d'interprétation
Authors: Cassius-Duranton Marie-Laure 
Published: June 2024

The Dream by Marcantonio Raimondi.
After examining the specificity of the depicted theme -a dream -as well as the methodological issues it raises, the author links Marcantonio Raimondi's print, executed c. 1508, with the interest in enigma that was so prevalent in contemporary Venetian humanist culture (Hypnerotomachia Poliphili). Through the examination of associated motifs drawn from Venetian allegories of Voluptas, Boschian imagery of Virgil's damnation and Inferno, as well as the support of the Hippocratic and Aristotelian theories on dreams that were the object of renewed interest in Venice and Padua at that period, the author offers an interpretation of this image as a dream of melancholy.
Le devenir artistique et professionnel des pensionnaires de l'Académie de France à Rome après 1968
Authors: Verger Annie 
Published: June 2024

The artistic and professional development of the pensionnaires of the French Academy in Rome after 1968.
The primary mission of the French Academy in Rome today is "to promote artistic and literary creation in all fields and exchanges with Italy". Following the abolition of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1968, was the institution able to endow the title of "new pensionnaire" with enough weight on the labor and contemporary art markets, and thus succeed in fashioning a new legitimacy ? Annie Verger and Louis Pinto, researchers at the European Sociology Centre, set out to examine this issue. They conducted their investigation by means of questionnaires and interviews with former pensionnaires. Chosen on the basis of their application, the fellows were already set on a professional and artistic path. During their stay in Rome, they acquired a different kind of cultural capital, made up of relationships, contacts and exchanges. On this level, the institution accomplished its mission. However, although the pensionnaires felt that they had been given an advantage at a pivotal moment in their lives, the label had uneven effects : for some, it furthered their career while for others, most notably visual artists, it remained ineffective on the international art market, subject to a different set of criteria.
