Mitochondria–plasma membrane contact sites regulate the ER–mitochondria encounter structure
Authors: Casler Jason C. , Harper Clare S. , Lackner Laura L. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Cells form multiple, molecularly distinct membrane contact sites (MCSs) between organelles. Despite knowing the molecular identity of several of these complexes, little is known about how MCSs are coordinately regulated in space and time to promote organelle function. Here, we examined two well-characterized mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) MCSs – the ER–mitochondria encounter structure (ERMES) and the mitochondria–ER–cortex anchor (MECA) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We report that loss of MECA results in a substantial reduction in the number of ERMES contacts. Rather than reducing ERMES protein levels, loss of MECA results in an increase in the size of ERMES contacts. Using live-cell microscopy, we demonstrate that ERMES contacts display several dynamic behaviors, such as de novo formation, fusion and fission, that are altered in the absence of MECA or by changes in growth conditions. Unexpectedly, we find that the mitochondria–plasma membrane (PM) tethering, and not the mitochondria–ER tethering, function of MECA regulates ERMES contacts. Remarkably, synthetic tethering of mitochondria to the PM in the absence of MECA is sufficient to rescue the distribution of ERMES foci. Overall, our work reveals how one MCS can influence the regulation and function of another.
Light alters calling-song characteristics in crickets

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Communication is crucial for mate choice and thus for the survival and fitness of most species. In the cricket, females choose males according to their calling-song attractiveness and, exhibiting positive phonotaxis, they approach the chosen male. Light has been widely reported to induce changes in crickets' daily activity patterns, including the males' stridulation behavior. It had remained unknown, however, whether light also affects the calling-song properties and thus may consequently also alter female choice. Here, we present a novel semi-automated process, enabling the analysis of calling-song properties in an extremely large sample size of recording sections from males subjected to lifelong light:dark (LD) or constant light (LL) conditions. Our findings revealed that the LD calling songs consisted of longer chirps, longer inter-syllable intervals and a higher proportion of 4-syllable chirps compared with those of LL males. We also conducted some preliminary female choice experiments suggesting that females (reared in LD conditions) exposed to playbacks of male calling songs exhibit a preference towards LD over LL recordings. We therefore conclude that illumination conditions such as constant light affect the male crickets' calling-song properties in a manner that may be discernible to the females. It remains unclear, however, how and to what extent female mate choice and the species' overall fitness are affected by these changes.

Authors: Guangdong Ma 
Published: January 2025

The study of phraseological expressions with the component “shoes” in Chinese language and culture involves an in-depth study of the rich connotation and meaning of this unique cultural symbol. Phraseologisms, as treasures of the Chinese language, are not only the historical heritage, but also the wisdom and emotions of the nation. “Shoes”, being an indispensable item in daily life, shows a special style in phraseological expressions, and its unique status cannot be ignored.
The purpose of the study is to identify the unique value of phraseological expressions with the component “shoes” in portraying characters, containing philosophical wisdom, reflecting social customs and history through systematic analysis and classification.
The subject of the study is to identify the cultural role of phraseological phrases with the component “shoes” for a deep understanding of interpersonal relationships and moral concepts of Chinese society.
Relevance. From the perspective of intercultural communication, the spread and acceptance of phraseological expressions with the component “shoes” is also of great significance. In the process of globalization, Chinese culture is gradually entering the world stage. As an important part of Chinese culture, phraseological phrases with the component “shoes” have unique cultural connotation and expression, exerting a positive influence on cross-national cultural understanding and identity. Through translation and interpretation, phraseological idioms with the component “shoes” can overcome linguistic and cultural barriers, connecting different civilizations and cultures.
The research on idioms of “shoes” in Chinese language and culture should be further deepened and detailed. The study of interesting idioms of “shoe” not only helps to better understand and inherit the high traditional Chinese culture, but also promotes the international dissemination and exchange of Chinese culture. The famous linguist Mr. Wang Li said: “Language is the carrier of culture, and phraseology is the essence of language” [1].
Methodology and research methods. The study uses the semiotic method to reveal the symbolic essence of phraseological phrases with the component “shoes”; the comparative method necessary for comparing phraseological phrases with the component “shoes” in Chinese culture and other cultures of the world; as well as methods of scientific analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization.
The use of ultrasound to determine volume status and identify sites of edema in patients with heart failure
Authors: Tran Vivie , Swarna Subash , Nugent Kenneth 
Published: January 2025

The management of patients with congestive heart failure requires an accurate working diagnosis and frequent assessment of responses to treatment. In addition, the prediction of short-term and long-term outcomes is important to both the clinician and the patient. The development of pulmonary edema usually represents an acute deterioration of cardiac status and requires immediate attention. The development of peripheral edema usually represents chronic heart failure and warrants evaluation and possibly therapeutic adjustments. Noninvasive tests to identify sites of extravascular fluid formation can help the clinician manage his or her patients. Lung ultrasound can identify B-lines that usually represent pulmonary edema. Ultrasound studies of the inferior vena cava and its dimensions can help determine volume status and make decisions regarding fluid management. This review outlines the use of ultrasound to determine sites of edema formation in patients with heart failure.

Key words: ultrasound, inferior vena cava, pulmonary edema, congestive heart failure
Being a “Lay Expert”: A Choice for Chinese Parents of Young Autistic Children
Authors: Zhang Yumin , Chen Junting , Li Xiaoyan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The lack of rehabilitation teachers for autistic children is common in lower-middle income countries. Designing programs to train parents to become “para-rehabilitators,” that is, “lay experts,” is one of the ways to solve this problem. The purpose of this study was to explore the feelings, problems, and hopes of Chinese parents participating in the parent-implemented rehabilitation model. Semi-structured qualitative interviews with 19 parents of autistic children were conducted and analyzed thematically. The study found positive changes in the parental understanding of and response to autism disorders, suggesting that training parents to become para-rehabilitators to address the shortage of rehabilitators is useful, and that improvements in training methods are needed.
Correlates of School-Home Communication From Caregivers of Children With Autism
Authors: Li Chak , Burke Meghan M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
School-home communication may be especially critical for families of children with autism given their tenuous partnerships with school professionals. In this study, we explored the child, caregiver, and family-professional partnership correlates of school-home communication. Data were collected from 179 caregivers of children with autism (age 3-21) via a national survey. Participants overwhelmingly reported having less than monthly communication with educators (i.e., general and special education teachers) despite wanting at least weekly communication. A preference for email communication negatively correlated with participants who were Black and/or from lower-income households, but this should be met with caution due to limited sample diversity. These findings indicate that it is necessary to attain a nuanced understanding of school-home communication and identify other potential correlates.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Narrative abilities are essential for school achievement and quality of life, yet children with Down syndrome (DS) often struggle with these skills. This work explores the oral narrative abilities of school-age Chilean children with DS. The participants were 11 children with DS aged between 7;2 and 12;1 (years; months). All participated in a retelling task using a wordless picture book. Microstructural and macrostructural performance were analyzed and compared with data from a reference database of typically developing Spanish-speaking children, matched by chronological age or linguistic abilities. Children with DS showed proficiency in identifying introductory story elements but faced difficulties with cohesion. Restricted microstructural performance and task completion time were observed. Ethical-methodological challenges and recommendations for practice and research are discussed.

Authors: Layden Selena J. , Nowland Lindsey A. , Haegele Justin A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Educators working with students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) should be utilizing evidence-based practices (EBPs) that have been identified for this group of students to promote better outcomes. Physical education (PE) teachers are highly likely to work with students with ASD in educational settings, yet little is known about their level of training and confidence in implementing EBPs for students with ASD. This study used survey methodology to ask PE teachers about their training in EBPs and their perceived confidence in implementing such practices. The results indicate that, although there was little reported training on individual EBPs specific to students with ASD, PE teachers reported feeling relatively confident in supporting students with ASD. Further findings and implications are discussed.

Published: January 2025

Market orientation has been identified as a managerial focus which can enhance firm performance. However, this assumption increasingly is met with skepticism. There is no unequivocal evidence as to if and when market orientation has a positive impact on business performance. The exact mechanisms concerning performance enhancement are not fully understood. Current research proposes that the mechanisms by which market orientation enhances performance relies on the existence of aninnovative culture. Innovativeness mediates the relationship between market orientation and performance.

A Re-Consideration of Money Demand Theory
Authors: Kapur Basant K. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Portfolio models typically ignore precautionary transactions demands for liquid assets, and models of precautionary demands typically ignore asset rate-of-return risk. If asset-holders are risk-averse, however, both transactions risk and rate-of-return risk affect demands for both liquid and illiquid assets, even when the two risks are independent of each other. We demonstrate this in a four-asset framework, and show that our integrated treatment produces unexpected and instructive results and insights. For example, (a) an increase in the expected return to risky securities increases the demand for M1, even when M1 is used entirely for transactions purposes, (b) an increase in the variance of securities returns reduces the demand for M1, and (c) an increase in the asset-holders’ wealth reduces her demand for M1. A broader framework for the study of money demand is thus called for.
Green synthesis of highly luminous lemon juice-based carbon dots for antimicrobial assessment and fingerprint detection

Published: January 2025

Abstract
Carbon dots are regarded as a brand new class of nanostructures in the carbonaceous family that have piqued the curiosity of researchers in a wide range of bio applications. This work focuses on the synthesis and characterization of carbon dots, as well as their latent fingerprint detection and antibacterial/antifungal capabilities. Highly luminous carbon dots were prepared by optimizing simple hydrothermal carbonization settings at 180 °C for 12 h using lemon juice as a raw precursor. The resulting product was examined using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray diffractometery, and ultraviolet–visible spectrophotometer. The as-prepared carbon dots were found to be extremely bright when excited under ultraviolet light (λ = 365 nm). The presence of carbon and oxygen functionalities on the surface of the carbon dots was revealed by infrared spectrocopy. The diffraction pattern confirmed the amorphous structure of the carbon dots, with an average size of 7 nm determined using the Scherrer equation. The surface morphology analysis revealed that the carbon dots exhibited an aggregated form with irregular spherical shapes. The chemical structure examination validated the elemental makeup of the prepared lemon juice-based carbon dots. The detection of latent fingerprints on carbon dots under ultraviolet light yielded positive results. In addition, the obtained carbon dots displayed antifungal and antibacterial activity against tested pathogenic fungal and bacterial strains.

Abstract
The operational industries continuously contribute significant volumes of synthetic dyes along with other pollutants into the aquatic environment. The global issue of dye induced water contamination was addressed through facile synthesis of hydrophobically associated poly(lauryl methacrylate-acrylamide) [p(LMA-AAm)] hydrogel by free radical polymerization method. The SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) micrographs depicted suitability of the hybrid sorbent for crystal violet (CV) uptake owing to porous, rough and spongy texture. The fabricated sorbent was utilized for CV sorption by performing different tests like contact time, pH, and initial concentration effect on the CV sorption. The obtained kinetic and isothermal data fitted well into the non-linear versions of pseudo second order and Langmuir models respectively. The thermodynamics tests signified the sorption process of spontaneous and endothermic nature. After sorption, the resultant [CV/p(LMA-AAm)] waste was applied for toluene (oil probe) separation from water which performed excellent separation in the range of 83–74 % during the first three tests. Thus, the desirable sorption properties, facile fabrication and promising oil separation power may recommend the composite sorbent for applications in the relevant fields like water treatment, separation and sorption.
Study on the synthesis and properties of Gemini surfactant with ester spacers
Authors: Dai Ruiyao , Shen Jie , Xu Hujun 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
A group of cationic Gemini surfactants with ester spacers, C12-E2-C12, C16-E2-C16, C18-E2-C18, were synthesized and confirmed by IR, 1H NMR and MS. The surface parameters of the synthesized Gemini surfactants including: the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the surface tension value at CMC (γ
CMC), efficiency (pC
20), maximum surface excess (Γ
max) and minimum surface area (A
min), were obtained from surface tension measurements. These Gemini surfactants showed higher surface activity than the traditional monomeric surfactants. The thermodynamic parameters of the micellization process from conductivity measurements showed that the micellization was a spontaneous and exothermic process, and the micellization process became less favorable with decreasing alkyl chain length and increasing temperature. The micro polarity was evaluated from steady-state fluorescence spectra. It was found that the micelle aggregation number of Cn-E2-Cn aqueous solution gradually increased with the increase of alkyl chain.
The Application of Repeated-Sprint Training
Authors: Thurlow Fraser , McLaren Shaun J. , Townshend Andrew , Weakley Jonathon 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT
Repeated-sprint training (RST) involves maximal-effort, short-duration sprints (≤10 seconds) interspersed with brief (≤60 seconds) recovery periods. It can enhance a range of physical qualities to help prepare intermittent sport athletes for the high-intensity demands of competition. This review provides a scientific basis for applying running-based RST with intermittent sport athletes. The acute and chronic responses to RST are reviewed, as well as the manipulation of programming variables to target specific training outcomes (i.e., sprint modality, number of repetitions and sets, repetition distance, rest time, rest modality, volume, training frequency, and program duration). Furthermore, practical considerations for an individualized approach to RST and an applied framework for how and when it can be best integrated into the annual training program are presented.
