Published: April 2024

Purpose: This article analyzes the factors influencing consumers' behavior toward healthy food during the COVID-19 period in Vietnam.

Design/methodology/approach: Healthy food is increasingly crucial in customers' awareness and purchasing behavior. During the COVID-19 crisis, people were more aware of maintaining good health. The study assessed people's shopping behavior, specifically the decision to purchase healthy food during the COVID-19 period. The study was conducted with 368 consumers who regularly purchase healthy foods online and offline in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Findings: The findings reveal that ease of purchase, fear of COVID-19, and purchasing experience positively impact customers' purchase decisions; meanwhile, the overall risk negatively impacts customers' purchase decisions in Hanoi.

Research, Practical & Social Implications: From these results, the retailers and companies can propose sales and marketing plans to expand the market for retail supermarkets, healthy food stores, and restaurants to those who use healthy food after any severe pandemic in the future.

Originality/value: There is a shortage of research on healthy food during COVID-19 in emerging countries like Vietnam. This is expected to shift consumer preferences dramatically during the pandemic. People consider more healthy food because of hectic lifestyles and to reduce pandemic effects. Therefore, this research sheds light on customers' purchase decisions on healthy food and the significant factors affecting the purchase decisions under COVID-19 in Vietnam.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: This research analyzes the impact of carob pod processing on the economic, social and environmental conditions of communities in Piura and Lambayeque, Peru.

Method/design/approach: The study focused on products derived from carob trees, particularly algarrobina, and the Total Economic Value theory based on the Market Price Method was used to evaluate the economic and social conditions.

Results and conclusion: The study found that the production of algarrobina provides an annual economic benefit in monetary units of S/ 31,881.24 (Thirty-one thousand eight hundred eighty-one and 24/100 nuevos soles) in the producers studied. In economic terms. In social terms, the study found that the community obtains in monetary units a social benefit of S/ 32,029.18 (Thirty-two thousand and twenty-nine and 18/100 nuevos soles). The income generated by algarrobina production provides families with access to basic services such as education and health care. In environmental terms, the study found that carob syrup production also has a positive impact on the environment, but this impact is only partially due to permanent deforestation. The carob tree is a native species that grows in arid and semi-arid areas, and its cultivation does not require large amounts of water, but nevertheless showed changes in their fruits, the quantities produced are much lower than in previous years and with respect to their characteristics the quality of this shows a sharp reduction in size and thickness.

Research implications: The results highlights that algarrobina production also fosters community participation and strengthens social ties, generating a positive impact on the quality of life of the communities.

Original value: Algarrobina production generates income for producers and traders, which in turn contributes to the economic development of the communities. In addition, the study found that algarrobina production also has a positive impact on employment, as labor is required to harvest and process the carob tree.

Familial Chiari malformation: a systematic review and illustrative cases
Authors: Dhawan Alaina , Dhawan Jillian , Sharma Ajay N. , Azzam Daniel B. , Cherry Ahmed , Fehlings Michael G. 
Published: April 2024

OBJECTIVE
Chiari malformations (CMs) are a group of congenital or acquired disorders characterized by hindbrain overcrowding into an underdeveloped posterior cranial fossa. CM is considered largely sporadic—however, there exists growing evidence of transmissible genetic underpinnings. The purpose of this systematic review of all familial studies of CM was to investigate the existence of an inherited component and provide recommendations to manage and monitor at-risk family members.

METHODS
This paper includes the following: 1) a unique case report of dizygotic twins who presented at the Toronto Western Hospital Spinal Cord Clinic with symptomatic CM type 1 (CM-1) and syringomyelia; and 2) a systematic review of familial CM. The EMBASE and MEDLINE databases were searched on June 27, 2023, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Only articles in the English language concerning the diagnosis of CM in > 1 human family member presented as a case study, case series, or literature review were included.

RESULTS
Among the 29 articles included in the final analysis, a total of 34 families with CM were analyzed. An average of 3 cases of CM were found per family among all generations. Eighty-one cases (88%) reported CM-1, whereas the other 11 (12%) cases reported either CM-0, CM-1.5, or tonsillar ectopia. A syrinx was present in 37 (54%) cases, with 14 (38%) of these patients also reporting a skeletal abnormality, the most common comorbidity. Most family members diagnosed with CM were siblings (18; 35%), followed by monozygotic twins/triplets (12; 23%).

CONCLUSIONS
Patients most often presented with headaches, sensory disturbances, or generalized symptoms. Overall, there exists mounting evidence for a hereditary component of CM. It is unlikely to be explained by a classic mendelian inheritance pattern, but is rather a polygenic architecture influenced by variable penetrance, cosegregation, and entirely nongenetic factors. For first-degree relatives of those affected by CM, the authors’ findings may influence clinicians to conduct closer clinical and radiographic monitoring, promote patient education, and consider earlier genetic testing.
Antocyanidin-3-<i>O</i>-Glucosyltransferase Genes in Pepper (<i>Capsicum</i> spp.) and Their Role in Anthocyanine Biosynthesis

Published: April 2024

In pepper (Capsicum spp.), anthocyanins are important not only for the photolabile compounds protection, but also for the regulation of fruit color pattern. Anthocyanidin-3-O-glucosyltransferases (UFGTs) play a key role in the biosynthesis of stable anthocyanins. In this work, the structure and phylogeny of three pepper UFGT homologue genes are characterized. Biochemical analysis of C. annuum cultivars (cv. Syrenevii cube, Othello and Sibiryak) and C. frutescens (cv. Samotsvet), which differ in the pattern of fruit pigmentation during ripening, showed the presence of anthocyanins in leaves and fruit peel of all accessions (except for the cv. Sibiryak fruit). The highest anthocyanins content was found in the purple leaves of the cv. Samotsvet. In the fruit peel of all accessions, the anthocyanins content decreased with ripening. Expression analysis of the same tissues showed that UFGT1 (LOC107843659) and UFGT2 (LOC107843660) transcripts are present in the leaves of all cultivars. In the fruit peel, UFGT1 transcripts were detected at maturation stages 1 (cv. Syrenevii cube and Othello) and 1–3 (cv. Samotsvet), while UFGT2 transcripts were found in all accessions with the maximum in the cv. Sibiryak, where anthocyanins were absent. Transcripts of the MBW complex (anthocyanin2, MYC, and WD40), which regulates the biosynthesis of anthocyanins, were present in the leaves of all cultivars with a maximum in the purple leaves of the cv. Samotsvet. Comparison of biochemical and expression data revealed a positive correlation between the amount of anthocyanins in fruit peel and leaves and UFGT1 expression level. For UFGT2 such correlation was no found. Analysis of UFGT1 sequence, including the promoter region, in 18 pepper cultivars that differ in fruit color pattern, revealed sequence invariance, regardless of the color of the immature fruit. Analysis of the UFGT1 and UFGT2 promoter sequences of the showed differences in the composition of cis-regulatory elements involved in response to stress and hormones, and in MYB and MYC transcription factors binding sites.
Replication Study of GWAS-Associated Variants in the <i>TUFM</i>, <i>SH2B1</i>, <i>ZNF638</i>, <i>NEGR1</i>, <i>ATP2A1</i>, <i>EXOC4</i>, and <i>CSE1L</i> Genes and Cognitive Abilities

Published: April 2024

To date, a large number of genome-wide association analyses (GWAS) of cognitive abilities (i.e. intelligence, educational level, executive functions, etc.) have been conducted in European populations. A replication analysis of GWAS-associated variants of the general factor of intelligence in the development of spatial (3D) abilities in the individuals from Russia is relevant. In order to estimate the main effect of the most significant GWAS loci on spatial abilities in the Russian cohort (N = 1011, 18–25 years old) a set of seven “top” SNPs (p 10–13) was formed: TUFM rs7187776, SH2B1 rs7198606, ZNF638 rs2287326, NEGR1 rs12128707, ATP2A1 rs8055138, EXOC4 rs1362739, and CSE1L rs6063353. Statistically significant differences (р 0.05) in genotype frequencies distribution of ATP2A1 rs8055138, NEGR1 rs12128707, and ZNF638 rs2287326 between Russians, Tatars, and Udmurts have been observed. As a result of analysis of genotype-by-environment interactions we revealed ethnicity-specific character of associations: in Russians maternal age at delivery (βST = 0.84, p = 0.005) and in Tatars bilingual/unilingual rearing (βST = 0.44, р = 0.020) modulated association of ZNF638 rs2287326 with spatial abilities. Moreover, urban/rural residency in childhood modulated association of TUFM rs7187776 with 3D abilities (βST = 0.41, р = 0.009). The data obtained indicate the involvement of the ZNF638, TUFM, SH2B1, and EXOC4 genes, which are responsible for adipogenesis, in the manifestation of cognitive abilities, and, therefore, confirms the relationship between cognitive and metabolic disorders. Nevertheless, ethnicity-specific character of demonstrated associations and differences in genotype frequencies of analyzed GWAS-SNPs point to the specific pattern of associated genetic loci characteristic for the Russian cohort and to the complexity of replication of data reported for the combined samples of Europeans.
DYNAMICS OF THE PARIETAL-OCCIPITAL ALPHA RHYTHM ACTIVITY DURING COMPARISON OF VISUAL STIMULI DURATIONS
Authors: Rogachev A. O. , Sysoeva O. V. 
Published: April 2024

This research is aimed at studying the dynamics of the parietal-occipital alpha rhythm in its connection with the process of stimuli duration comparison. EEG study was conducted in which participants (n = 48) were asked to compare pairs of visual stimuli of different durations ranging from 3.2 to 6.4 s. The time-frequency analysis of the EEG was carried out in the range of 8–12 Hz. The power of alpha rhythm increases from the stimulus onset to the middle of its presentation, but then its dynamic depends on the stimulus duration: it further increases for short durations (3.2, 3.6, 4.0 s), stays the same for middle durations (4.4, 4.8, 5.2 s) and decreases for long durations (5.6, 6.0, 6.4 s). The relative decrease of alpha power for long stimuli in relation to the short ones was related to subjective perception of time. The results are discussed from the point of view of the “dual klepsydra” model: it is assumed that alpha rhythm acts as an electrophysiological correlate of the functioning of “neural accumulators” associated with the subjective passage of time.
