The dual protective role of accountability: Mitigating missed nursing care and nurse moral distress in a nested diary study design
Authors: Cohen Mirit , Drach‐Zahavy Anat , Srulovici Einav 
Published: June 2024

AbstractAimsTo examine a novel moderated‐mediation model, investigating whether personal accountability moderates the link between nurse workload and missed nursing care and whether missed nursing care mediates the association between workload and moral distress.DesignNested diary study.MethodsData spanning from February 2019 to February 2023 were collected from 137 nurses working in various inpatient wards in two medium‐sized hospitals. Nurses reported care given to specific patients on three to five occasions across different shifts, establishing nurse‐patient dyads. Validated measures of missed nursing care, personal accountability, moral distress and workload were analyzed using mixed linear models to test the nested moderated‐mediation model.ResultsUnder high workload conditions, nurses with higher personal accountability reported lower frequencies of missed nursing care compared to those with lower personal accountability. In contrast, under low workload conditions, personal accountability did not significantly influence missed nursing care occurrences. Furthermore, the interaction between workload and personal accountability indirectly affected nurses' moral distress through missed nursing care. Specifically, higher personal accountability combined with lower missed nursing care contributed to reduced levels of moral distress among nurses.ConclusionThe study highlights accountability's dual role—safeguarding against care omissions and influencing nurses' moral distress amid rising workload pressures.Implication for the Profession and/or Patient CareCultivating a culture of accountability within healthcare settings can serve as a protective factor against the negative effects of workload on patient care quality and nurse psychological distress, highlighting the need for organizational interventions to promote accountability among nursing staff.ImpactBy recognizing accountability's pivotal role, organizations can implement targeted interventions fostering accountability among nurses, including training programs focused on enhancing responsibility/ownership in care delivery and creating supportive environments prioritizing accountability to achieve positive patient outcomes.Reporting MethodThe study has adhered to STROBE guidelines.Patient or Public ContributionNo patient or public contribution.
Rivalry as a Contextual Factor of Gender Inequality in Network Returns

Published: June 2024

AbstractLinking research on networks, rivalry, and gender, we develop a contextual approach to gender‐based differences in network returns. Our principal contribution is in articulating the role of rivalry – a personalized and relational form of competition – in influencing the cognitive activation and behavioural mobilization of social networks. Three experiments and two field studies provide consistent evidence for a negative impact of rivalry on women's network activation and mobilization. We attribute this effect to the misalignment between the cognitive‐relational schema associated with rivalry, promoting focus, agency, and confrontation, and gender‐based cognitive and behavioural expectations, portraying women as more comprehensive, communal, and cooperative than men. The negative consequences of this misalignment are due to the experience of negative affect, fear of social evaluations, and perception of threat. A key takeaway from our analysis is that efforts at improving women's network returns should better account for the role of contextual factors.
A dual‐process model of the effects of boundary segmentation on work–nonwork conflict
Authors: Michaelides George , Niven Karen , Wood Stephen , Inceoglu Ilke 
Published: June 2024

AbstractSegmentation of work from nonwork life is widely presented as desirable to maximize recovery from work. Yet it involves effort which may reduce its positive effects. We present a dual‐process model of segmentation based on integrating boundary theory and self‐regulation theory that shows how creating and maintaining boundaries can have both positive and negative effects. Segmentation allows individuals not only to psychological detach from work, thereby reducing work–nonwork conflict, but can also deplete an individual's momentary capacity for state self‐control, increasing work–nonwork conflict. We tested our model with two studies: a weekly diary study with a sample of 436 individuals and a daily diary study with data collected at two time points each day from 162 participants. Using a Bayesian approach, we find some support for our hypothesized dual pathways. In both studies, psychological detachment mediated a negative relationship between segmentation and work–nonwork conflict. In the daily study, self‐control capacity mediated a positive relationship between segmentation and work–nonwork conflict, but this effect was present only when individuals worked onsite and not when working at home. This article contributes towards understanding the mechanisms explaining the relationship between segmentation and work–nonwork conflict and underscores the importance of self‐regulation in this process.
PETROLEUM GEOLOGY OF THE CENOZOIC SUCCESSION IN THE ZAGROS OF SW IRAN: A SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC APPROACH
Authors: Piryaei Alireza , Davies Roger B. 
Published: June 2024

The Cenozoic stratigraphy of the Zagros records the ongoing collision between the Arabian and Eurasian Plates and the closure of NeoTethys. A Paleogene NW‐SE trending foreland basin was inherited from a Late Cretaceous precursor. Widespread progradation into the foredeep was a feature of both margins which, allied to ongoing tectonism, had by the late Eocene led to the narrowing and subsequent division of the foredeep into the Lurestan – Khuzestan and Lengeh Troughs, separated by the northward continuation of the rejuvenated Qatar‐Fars Arch. This sub‐division strongly influenced subsequent deposition and the petroleum geology of the area. In addition, the diachronous nature of the Arabian – Eurasian collision led to strong diachroneity in lithostratigraphic units along the length of the Zagros. Hence its petroleum geology is best understood within a regional sequence stratigraphic framework. This study identifies three tectono‐megasequences (TMS 10, TMS 11a, TMS 11b) and multiple depositional sequences.The Cenozoic contains a world class hydrocarbon province with prolific oil reservoirs in the Oligo‐Miocene Asmari Formation sealed by the evaporite‐dominated Gachsaran Formation, mostly contained within giant NW‐SE trending “whaleback” anticlines concentrated in the Dezful Embayment. Reservoirs in the SW are dominantly siliciclastic or comprise mixed siliciclastics and carbonates, whereas those to the east and NE are dominated by fractured carbonates. There remains untested potential in stratigraphic traps, especially in deeperwater sandstone reservoirs deposited along the SW margin of the foredeep.Late Miocene to Pliocene charge to the Asmari reservoirs was mostly from Aptian – Albian Kazhdumi Formation source rocks. In some fields, an additional component was from organic‐rich late Eocene to earliest Oligocene Pabdeh Formation source rocks confined to the narrowing Lurestan – Khuzestan Trough. Where mature, the latter source rock is also a potential unconventional reservoir target, although the prospective area is limited due to recent uplift and erosion. Deeper Jurassic source rocks contributed to the Cheshmeh Khush field in Dezful North. Silurian source rocks charged gas‐bearing structures in the Bandar Abbas region.

Summary

Single‐cell proteomics (SCP) is an emerging approach to resolve cellular heterogeneity within complex tissues of multi‐cellular organisms.

Here, we demonstrate the feasibility of SCP on plant samples using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Specifically, we focused on examining isolated single cells from the cortex and endodermis, which are two adjacent root cell types derived from a common stem cell lineage.

From 756 root cells, we identified 3763 proteins and 1118 proteins/cell. Ultimately, we focus on 3217 proteins quantified following stringent filtering. Of these, we identified 596 proteins whose expression is enriched in either the cortex or endodermis and are able to differentiate these closely related plant cell types.

Collectivity, this study demonstrates that SCP can resolve neighboring cell types with distinct functions, thereby facilitating the identification of biomarkers and candidate proteins to enable functional genomics.
Effects of poly‐γ‐glutamic acid on soil structure and water retention characteristics under dry‐wet cycles
Authors: Jing Bo , Shi Wenjuan , Wang Ying , Zhai Zhongmin , Chen Tao 
Published: June 2024

AbstractPoly‐γ‐glutamic acid (γ‐PGA) has been demonstrated to exhibit a soil water retention effect; however, the agricultural irrigation practices induce a cyclic pattern of wetting and drying in the soil, and its synergistic interaction with γ‐PGA remains unclear. To explore the amendment effects of γ‐PGA on pores structure, aggregates distribution, and soil water retention characteristics under dry‐wet cycles, an experiment was established with the number of dry‐wet cycles (0, 2, 4, and 8 times; a single dry‐wet cycle involved reducing soil water content from 80% to 40% of field water capacity) and γ‐PGA addition rates (0%, 4%, and 8%, represented by P0, P4, and P8, respectively). The results indicated that γ‐PGA enhanced the structure of soil pores and distribution of aggregates; especially, P8 exhibited a remarkable increase in pore number by 91.68% and mean weight diameter of aggregates by 17.17%, compared to P0. Additionally, the soil enhanced by γ‐PGA exhibited higher water retention capacity, with P4 and P8 showing average increases of 4.26% and 12.58% in saturated water content compared to P0. Notably, the effect of γ‐PGA on pores structure, aggregates distribution, and water retention characteristics was regulated by dry‐wet cycles. The γ‐PGA had the most significant improvement effect on soil structure under 8 times dry‐wet cycles, the optimal development on water retention characteristics under four times dry‐wet cycles. Therefore, these findings suggest that the optimal approach to enhance soil structure and water retention capacity is by incorporating γ‐PGA at a concentration of 0.8% in conjunction with 4–8 dry‐wet cycles.
Flow and Heat Transfer Mechanism and Optimization Design of Spirally Corrugated Tubes
Authors: Pan Chuang , Dai Yuande 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Spirally corrugated tubes are widely used as high-efficiency heat transfer tubes in various industrial production fields due to their simple manufacturing, low cost, and bidirectional enhanced heat transfer ability. In this study, numerical simulations were conducted on the flow in multi-start spirally corrugated tubes with an equivalent inner diameter of Di = 20 mm. The effects of starts value of 1–8, pitch ratio p/Di of 1.5–3.0, ripple depth ratio e/Di of 0.05–0.20, and Reynolds number Re of 5000–3000 on the heat transfer and resistance characteristics of the multi-start spirally corrugated tubes were studied, and the mechanism of heat transfer enhancement was demonstrated by field synergy theory. In addition, through the performance evaluation standard performance evaluation criteria (PEC), the optimization design of the multi-start spirally corrugated tube was achieved. The research results indicate that increasing the start value and ripple depth improves heat transfer performance despite higher flow resistance. As the pitch increases, the heat transfer performance decreases, and the flow resistance correspondingly decreases. When the start value is 8, p/Di = 1.5, e/Di = 0.20, and Re = 20,000, it is the optimal PEC value, equal to 1.764. This will be of great significance for the design, manufacturing, and practical application of spirally corrugated tubes.
Experimental Investigation of New Combustion Chamber Geometry Modification on Engine Performance, Emission, and Cylinder Liner Microstructure for a Diesel Engine
Authors: Temizer Ilker , Cihan Omer 
Published: June 2024

Abstract
Emission values have been limited and some levels must be compatible with human health and the environment. One of the most effective ways to achieve these levels is effective piston bowl geometry. The aim of designing the new combustion chamber (NCC) was to provide a multiaxial distribution of the fuel in the bowl. In the study, the new combustion chamber was compared with the standard combustion chamber (SCC). Both chambers were fitted to the engine and the performance analysis was tested at different operation conditions. Then, 100-h tests were carried out to evaluate the effect of the piston bowl geometry on the surface of the cylinder liner by analyzing its microstructure. From the obtained results, the new combustion chamber geometry reduced HC, CO, and soot emissions while NO emissions slightly increased compared to the standard combustion chamber. It decreased brake-specific fuel consumption values by 4%, 5.53%, 7.02%, 6.4%, 5.55%, and 5.18% for 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2100, and 2200 rpm, respectively. Torque values increased at all engine speeds. When the cylinder liners were evaluated as a result of long-term endurance, there were clearly fewer abrasive wear lines on the cylinder liners of NCC compared to SCC.
Molecular determinants of cross-species transmission in emerging viral infections

Published: June 2024

SUMMARY
Several examples of high-impact cross-species transmission of newly emerging or re-emerging bat-borne viruses, such as Sudan virus, Nipah virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, have occurred in the past decades. Recent advancements in next-generation sequencing have strengthened ongoing efforts to catalog the global virome, in particular from the multitude of different bat species. However, functional characterization of these novel viruses and virus sequences is typically limited with regard to assessment of their cross-species potential. Our understanding of the intricate interplay between virus and host underlying successful cross-species transmission has focused on the basic mechanisms of entry and replication, as well as the importance of host innate immune responses. In this review, we discuss the various roles of the respective molecular mechanisms underlying cross-species transmission using different recent bat-borne viruses as examples. To delineate the crucial cellular and molecular steps underlying cross-species transmission, we propose a framework of overall characterization to improve our capacity to characterize viruses as benign, of interest, or of concern.

ABSTRACT

In order to provide a highly feasible research pathway for the control of larch shoot blight, healthy larch branches and leaves were collected from 13 sampling sites in 8 provinces in China. The antagonistic endophytic bacteria obtained from the screening were used to carry out disease control experiments in potted seedlings. The safety evaluation test was conducted on the antagonistic bacteria. Subsequently, the strains with better preventive effect and high safety were identified by morphological and molecular methods. A total of 391 strains of endophytic bacteria were isolated from healthy larch branches and leaves. Seventy-eight strains of larch endophytic bacteria with antagonistic effect were obtained by primary sieving. Ten strains of endophytic bacteria with obvious antagonism were further obtained by secondary sieving, and all of them had an inhibition rate of more than 57%. Among them, strains YN 2, JL 6, NMG 23, and JL 54 showed the highest inhibition rate of 63.16%–65.08%, which was significantly different from the other treatments. The results of the pot test showed that 14 days after inoculation with the pathogen, strains YN 2 and JL 54 were more effective in the control of larch shoot blight, with the preventive effects reaching 57.7% and 50.0%, respectively. Strains JL 6 and JL 54 were biologically safe in the safety evaluation test. Therefore, strain JL 54 was selected for identification. It was identified as
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
through morphological observation, 16S rDNA sequence,
gyrB
gene sequence and 16S rDNA-
gyrB
tandem feature sequence analysis.

IMPORTANCE

Larch shoot blight is a widely distributed, damaging, and rapidly spreading fungal disease of forest trees that poses a serious threat to larch plantations. Endophytic bacteria have biological effects on host plants against pests and diseases, and they have a growth-promoting effect on plants. In this paper, we investigated for the first time the biocontrol effect of endophytic bacteria on larch shoot blight by screening endophytic bacteria with the function of antagonizing dieback fungi.
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
JL 54 has a better prospect of biocontrol against larch shoot blight, which lays the foundation for the application of this bacterium in the future.

BackgroundEndovascular treatment for vertebral artery dissecting aneurysms (VADAs) includes overlapping stents and flow diverters. This study compared the safety and effectiveness of overlapping stents and flow diverters for unruptured VADAs.MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled patients with unruptured VADAs who underwent overlapping stents or flow diverters at two tertiary hospitals in South Korea. The primary clinical outcome was the occurrence of stroke. The primary angiographic outcomes (>12 months) were categorized as regression, no decrease in size, recanalization, or stent occlusion, of which only regression was defined as a favorable angiographic outcomes.ResultsOf the 146 patients with VADAs, 25 (17.1%) had flow diverters and 121 (82.9%) had overlapping stents. For the primary angiographic outcomes over 12 months, the rate of favorable angiographic outcomes for flow diverters was 81.8% and for overlapping stents (triple stents) was 98.8% (P=0.006). In the multivariale analysis, after adjusting for partially thrombosed aneurysms, aneurysm shape, non-dominant vessel, posterior inferior cerebellar artery involvement, and procedure type, overlapping stents (triple stents) was not associated with favorable angiographic outcomes compared with flow diverters (OR 7.040, 95% CI 0.549 to 90.294; P=0.134), but partially thrombosed aneurysms was inversely associated with favorable angiographic outcomes (OR 0.056, 95% CI 0.005 to 0.589; P=0.016). The primary clinical outcome followed up to the last angiography did not occur in all patients.ConclusionThere was no difference in safety and effectiveness between overlapping stents and flow diverters in unruptured VADAs. Further endovascular treatment studies are needed regarding the association of partially thrombosed aneurysms with unfavorable angiographic outcomes.

BackgroundCarotid web (CaW) is a risk factor for ischemic stroke, mainly in young patients with stroke of undetermined etiology. Its detection is challenging, especially among non-experienced physicians.MethodsWe included patients with CaW from six international trials and registries of patients with acute ischemic stroke. Identification and manual segmentations of CaW were performed by three trained radiologists. We designed a two-stage segmentation strategy based on a convolutional neural network (CNN). At the first stage, the two carotid arteries were segmented using a U-shaped CNN. At the second stage, the segmentation of the CaW was first confined to the vicinity of the carotid arteries. Then, the carotid bifurcation region was localized by the proposed carotid bifurcation localization algorithm followed by another U-shaped CNN. A volume threshold based on the derived CaW manual segmentation statistics was then used to determine whether or not CaW was present.ResultsWe included 58 patients (median (IQR) age 59 (50–75) years, 60% women). The Dice similarity coefficient and 95th percentile Hausdorff distance between manually segmented CaW and the algorithm segmented CaW were 63.20±19.03% and 1.19±0.9 mm, respectively. Using a volume threshold of 5 mm3, binary classification detection metrics for CaW on a single artery were as follows: accuracy: 92.2% (95% CI 87.93% to 96.55%), precision: 94.83% (95% CI 88.68% to 100.00%), sensitivity: 90.16% (95% CI 82.16% to 96.97%), specificity: 94.55% (95% CI 88.0% to 100.0%), F1 measure: 0.9244 (95% CI 0.8679 to 0.9692), area under the curve: 0.9235 (95%CI 0.8726 to 0.9688).ConclusionsThe proposed two-stage method enables reliable segmentation and detection of CaW from head and neck CT angiography.

Published: June 2024

AbstractWe propose a novel nonlinear bidirectionally coupled heterogeneous chain network whose dynamics evolve in discrete time. The backbone of the model is a pair of popular map-based neuron models, the Chialvo and the Rulkov maps. This model is assumed to proximate the intricate dynamical properties of neurons in the widely complex nervous system. The model is first realized via various nonlinear analysis techniques: fixed point analysis, phase portraits, Jacobian matrix, and bifurcation diagrams. We observe the coexistence of chaotic and period-4 attractors. Various codimension-1 and -2 patterns for example saddle-node, period-doubling, Neimark–Sacker, double Neimark–Sacker, flip- and fold-Neimark–Sacker, and 1 : 1 and 1 : 2 resonance are also explored. Furthermore, the study employs two synchronization measures to quantify how the oscillators in the network behave in tandem with each other over a long number of iterations. Finally, a time series analysis of the model is performed to investigate its complexity in terms of sample entropy.
