Published: April 2024

AimWith the rising prevalence of cancer and the adverse physical and psychological experiences endured by affected individuals, this study aims to establish a model illustrating the relationship between depression in people with cancer and perceived stress. Additionally, it examines the mediating influence of eating problems, sexual satisfaction, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.MethodThis study employs a descriptive-correlational research method, utilizing structural equation analysis (modeling) to explore the role of mediators. The research sample comprised 200 individuals diagnosed with cancer, selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Participants completed Beck’s 13-item depression questionnaire, a 10-item perceived stress questionnaire, an 8-item appetite measurement questionnaire, a 25-item sexual satisfaction questionnaire, a 10-item emotion regulation questionnaire, and a 12-item compassion questionnaire. The data were subsequently analyzed using SPSS-24 and Lisrel 80/8 software.FindingsThe research findings indicate a significant positive relationship between perceived stress and depression in people with cancer. Furthermore, eating problems exhibited a mediating role in the relationship between perceived stress and depression, with a direct effect coefficient of (t = 0.28, ß = 0.02). However, the path from perceived stress to depression, mediated by sexual satisfaction, was found to be statistically insignificant, with a standard coefficient of 0.01 at the p &lt; 0.05 level. Emotion regulation demonstrated a direct effect coefficient of (t = −3.52, ß = –0.33) on depression. Likewise, self-compassion exhibited a direct effect coefficient of (t = −3.08, ß = –0.28) on depression, while the path from perceived stress to depression was mediated by self-compassion, with a standard coefficient of 0.12 at the p &lt; 0.05 level.ConclusionIn conclusion, this study sheds light on the interplay between depression and perceived stress in individuals with cancer, revealing a significant positive association. Eating problems emerged as a mediating factor, directly influencing the manifestation of depressive symptoms. However, the mediation pathway through sexual satisfaction was found to be statistically insignificant. Emotion regulation and self-compassion were identified as influential factors, with direct effects on depression and self-compassion also serving as a mediator in the relationship between perceived stress and depression. The findings emphasize the importance of targeted interventions addressing eating problems, enhancing emotion regulation, and fostering self-compassion to alleviate the impact of depression and perceived stress in individuals facing cancer-related challenges. Further research is encouraged to refine and expand upon these insights, advancing holistic care for this population.

BackgroundMaternal immune activation (MIA) is a mature means to construct a schizophrenia model. However, some preclinical studies have reported that a MIA-induced schizophrenia model seemed to have gender heterogeneity in behavioral phenotype. On the other hand, the MIA’s paradigms were diverse in different studies, and many details could affect the effect of MIA. To some extent, it is not credible and scientific to directly compare the gender differences of different MIA programs. Therefore, it is necessary to study whether the sex of the exposed offspring leads to behavioral differences on the premise of maintaining a consistent MIA mode.MethodsAn animal model of schizophrenia was established by the administration of 10 mg/kg Poly (I: C) when dams were on day 9 of gestation. Then, a number of female and male offspring completed a series of behavioral tests during postnatal days 61–75.ResultsCompared with the female control group (n = 14), female MIA offspring (n = 12) showed a longer movement distance (d = 1.07, p &lt; 0.05) and higher average speed (d = 1.08, p &lt; 0.05) in the open field test (OFT). In the Y maze test, the percentage of entering the novel arm of female MIA offspring was lower (d = 0.92, p &lt; 0.05). Compared with the male control group (n = 14), male MIA offspring (n = 13) displayed less movement distance (d = 0.93, p &lt; 0.05) and a lower average speed (d = 0.94, p &lt; 0.05) in the OFT. In the Y maze test, the proportion of exploration time in the novel arm of male MIA offspring was lower (d = 0.96, p &lt; 0.05). In the EPM, male MIA offspring showed less time (d = 0.85, p &lt; 0.05) and a lower percentage of time spent in the open arms (d = 0.85, p &lt; 0.05). Male MIA offspring also had a lower PPI index (76 dB + 120 dB, d = 0.81, p &lt; 0.05; 80 dB + 120 dB, d = 1.45, p &lt; 0.01).ConclusionsOur results showed that the behavioral phenotypes induced by prenatal immune activation were highly dependent on the sex of the offspring.

IntroductionSuicide death remains a significantly rarer event among Latina/o/x populations compared to non-Latina/o/x populations. However, the reasons why Latina/o/x communities experience relatively lower suicide rates are not fully understood. Critical gaps exist in the examination of Latina/o/x suicide death, especially in rural settings, where suicide death by firearm is historically more common within non-Latina/o/x populations.MethodWe tested whether the prevalence of Latina/o/x firearm suicide was meaningfully different in urban and rural environments and from non-Latino/a/x decedents when controlling for age, sex, and a social deprivation metric, the Area Deprivation Index. Suicide death data used in this analysis encompasses 2,989 suicide decedents ascertained in Utah from 2016 to 2019. This included death certificate data from the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner on all Utah suicide deaths linked to information by staff at the Utah Population Database.ResultsCompared to non-Latina/o/x suicide decedents, Latina/o/x suicide decedents had 34.7% lower adjusted odds of dying by firearm. Additionally, among the firearm suicide decedents living only in rural counties, Latina/o/x decedents had 40.5% lower adjusted odds of dying by firearm compared to non-Latina/o/x suicide decedents.DiscussionThe likelihood of firearm suicide death in Utah differed by ethnicity, even in rural populations. Our findings may suggest underlying factors contributing to lower firearm suicide rates within Latina/o/x populations, e.g., aversion to firearms or less access to firearms, especially in rural areas, though additional research on these phenomena is needed.

Published: April 2024

IntroductionThe reproductive tract microbiome in hens is of interest because bacteria in the reproductive tract could potentially affect fertilization and egg production, as well as integrate into the forming egg and vertically transmit to progeny.MethodsThe reproductive tract microbiome of 37-week-old modern commercial Cobb breeding dams was compared with that of dams from a broiler Legacy line which has not undergone selection since 1986. All animals were kept together under the same management protocol from day of hatch to avoid confounders.ResultsIn regards to reproductive abilities, Cobb dams’ eggs weighed more and the magnum section of their reproductive tract was longer. In regards to microbiome composition, it was found that the reproductive tract microbiomes of the two lines had a lot in common but also that the two breeds have unique reproductive tract microbiomes. Specifically, the order Pseudomonadales was higher in the magnum of Legacy dams, while Verrucomicrobiales was lower. In the infundibulum, Lactobacillales were higher in the Legacy dams while Verrucomicrobiales, Bacteroidales, RF32 and YS2 were lower.Discussionour results show that breeding programs have modified not only the physiology of the reproductive tract but also the reproductive tract microbiome. Additional research is required to understand the implications of these changes in the reproductive tract microbiome on the chicken host.

Published: April 2024

В статье представлены некоторые аспекты исследования управления рисками компаний, оказывающих финансовые услуги, в частности, факторинговых компаний. Традиционно факторинг рассматривается как мера, направленная на снижение вероятности реализации риска неплатежей, а также как альтернатива кредита при недостаточности собственных ресурсов для осуществления текущей деятельности и дальнейшего развития поставщиков. Одновременно, компании, оказывающие факторинговые услуги подвержены рискам, управление которыми требует изучения и определения направлений развития на фоне быстро изменяющих условий внешней среды бизнеса. Результатом исследования является ряд рекомендаций по формированию элементов стратегии управления рисками факторинговой компании и оценке рисков взаимодействия с контрагентами.
The article presents some aspects of the risk management research of companies providing financial services, in particular, factoring companies. Traditionally, factoring is considered as a measure aimed at reducing the likelihood of realizing the risk of non-payments, as well as an alternative to credit if there are insufficient own resources to carry out current activities and further development of suppliers. At the same time, companies providing factoring services are exposed to risks, the management of which requires studying and determining development directions against the background of rapidly changing business environment conditions. The result of the study is a number of recommendations on the formation of elements of the risk management strategy of a factoring company and the assessment of risks of interaction with counterparties.
MAXIMIZING BENEFITS FROM NETWORK COLLABORATION: HOW ORGANIZATIONS EXPLOIT NETWORK RELATIONS IN HIGHLY UNPREDICTABLE ENVIRONMENTS
Authors: Flieger Marcin 
Published: April 2024

The main scientific purpose of this article is to identify how organizations maximize benefits from network relations in highly unpredictable environments, including both operational and strategic perspectives of network collaboration. The study is designed to deepen our knowledge about the nature of inter-organizational networks, and our understanding of the dynamics of relations between actors and the possibilities of exploiting networks in order to maximize benefit (network and relational rent). The research was carried out using the interpretative method of a multiple case study, following methodological rigor. It was divided into two stages: case-study analysis and cross-case analysis. The research shows that in highly unpredictable environments, when organizations have to face sudden and considerable unfavourable changes in operating conditions, they intensify relations’ features and at the same time modify expected benefits (including both operational and strategic perspective). The results allow for the identifying a pattern which shows how organizations modify the intensity of network-relation features in order to gain established benefits. The template serves as a tool for practitioners who can use it in planning and developing interactions with other members of networks (knots).

The purpose of this study was to explore the influence of creative methods on the traditional music performance of grade 10 Chinese senior high school students. At the same time, the satisfaction of grade 10 students with learning traditional Chinese music with creative methods was investigated. The study was conducted in a secondary school in China with 50 students over a period of six weeks. Quantitative data was collected through students' achievement tests (pretest and post-test) and students’ satisfaction questionnaires.
The data was analyzed for students’ learning achievement through the t-test for dependent sampling, mean, and standard deviation, as well as for the students’ satisfaction with the mean and standard deviation. The findings revealed that the creative method was effective in improving the students’ learning achievement, with a post-test mean score of 30.88, which was higher than the mean score of the pretest (15.88). In addition, the students’ satisfaction showed that every part was at its highest level. It means the students felt positive and satisfied with the use of creative teaching methods to improve the performance of traditional music in Chinese secondary schools.

Authors: Tang Tianyu 
Published: April 2024

G Tire Company, a global leader in tire manufacturing, rapidly expanded its offline retail network upon entering the Chinese market. However, traditional offline retail faces challenges with the emergence of “new retail,” which integrates the internet with physical stores. Rising “new retail” firms like TuHu have impacted G Tire's traditional channels, prompting a need for a “new retail” transformation.
This paper reviews literature on “new retail” and the tire industry, analyzing the industry’s development and transformation. Based on research and distribution channel theory, a four-element model for “new retail” channel analysis is proposed. The surveys and analysis revealed issues such as e-commerce impact, dense urban channels, and a lack of brand diversity due to data shortages. Improvement strategies include channel coordination, product enhancement, traditional channel optimization, and management upgrading.
