How much, what and how: three-dimensional discourse analysis of Saudi women and men's self-disclosure
Authors: Al Mufarreh Raniah 
Published: October 2023

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the behavior of self-disclosure among Saudi women and men in an attempt to understand gender differences in language. The study also gives insights about the cultural norms and how they affect language production.Design/methodology/approach The author utilized Levi-Belz and Kreiner's (2019) three-dimensional tool of self-disclosure; namely, the HOW MUCH dimension, the WHAT dimension and the HOW dimension. The HOW MUCH dimension is measured through word count of self-disclosure and the duration of self-disclosure in spoken discourse. The WHAT dimension is measured through analyzing the topics, emotions and social actors that are discussed during self-disclosure episodes. The HOW dimension is measured through examining the acoustic features of self-disclosure such as intonation, loudness and fluency.Findings Saudi women tend to engage in more self-disclosure than Saudi men, and their self-disclosure tends to be longer and more detailed. Women also tend to use more intonation variability and softer loudness, reflecting the cultural norms of politeness and reservation. Both genders tend to use similar frequencies of positive and negative emotion words in their self-disclosure, with positive emotion words correlating more with personal self-disclosure and negative emotion words with self-disclosures about loss, failure, conflict, rejection and uncertainty. The data also show that the use of reflective verbs leads to more authentic and empathetic communication and that pronoun use correlates with the type of emotional experience being discussed.Research limitations/implications This study has limitations due to a small sample size. Future research should use larger and diverse samples to explore self-disclosure in Saudi televised interviews comprehensively. The study focused solely on televised interviews; future research can examine self-disclosure across various media platforms. Findings have practical implications for Saudi media and policymakers. Understanding self-disclosure in interviews can guide content creation, fostering open communication. Presenters consciously act as role models, influencing Saudi youth, emphasizing the role of positive self-presentation.Originality/value This study utilized Levi-Belz and Kreiner's (2019) three-dimensional tool of self-disclosure in a way that could be used for other languages and cultures. The study examines the Saudi cultural norms in self-disclosure, which has never been tackled before.
A review on plasma‐activated water and its application in the meat industry
Authors: Hadinoto Koentadi , Niemira Brendan A. , Trujillo Francisco J. 
Published: October 2023

AbstractMeat is a nutritious food with a short shelf life, making it challenging to ensure safety, quality, and nutritional value. Foodborne pathogens and oxidation are the main concerns that lead to health risks and economic losses. Conventional approaches like hot water, steam pasteurization, and chemical washes for meat decontamination improve safety but cause nutritional and quality issues. Plasma‐activated water (PAW) is a potential alternative to thermal treatment that can reduce oxidation and microbial growth, an essential factor in ensuring safety, quality, and nutritional value. This review explores the different types of PAW and their physiochemical properties. It also outlines the reaction pathways involved in the generation of short‐lived and long‐lived reactive nitrogen and oxygen species (RONS) in PAW, which contribute to its antimicrobial abilities. The review also highlights current studies on PAW inactivation against various planktonic bacteria, as well as critical processing parameters that can improve PAW inactivation efficacy. Promising applications of PAW for meat curing, thawing, and decontamination are discussed, with emphasis on the need to understand how RONS in PAW affect meat quality. Recent reports on combining PAW with ultrasound, mild heating, and non‐thermal plasma to improve inactivation efficacy are also presented. Finally, the need to develop energy‐efficient systems for the production and scalability of PAW is discussed for its use as a potential meat disinfectant without compromising meat quality.

AbstractThis study aims to fabricate and characterize the zein nanoribbons loaded with different concentrations (2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 4.5°wt%) of the anthocyanins extracted from red cabbage through the electrospinning technique. It was demonstrated that an increase in anthocyanin concentration caused an increase in viscosity and electrical conductivity without any significant change in the surface tension of the electrospinning solution. It was shown by scanning electron microscopy that an increase in anthocyanins concentration reduced the porosity of the bead‐free ribbons compared with blank zein. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis, X‐ray diffraction patterns, and differential scanning calorimetry results reflected the presence of significant molecular interactions between zein and anthocyanins. Zein–anthocyanins showed high encapsulation efficiency of close to 100%. As a result, it can conclude that electrospinning is a promising method to encapsulate functional ingredients like anthocyanins.
The Forms of Error in Defoe's Tour: Culpable and Venial Mistakes
Authors: Rogers Pat 
Published: October 2023

AbstractThe article explores forms that error may take in a historical work, here Daniel Defoe's Tour thro' Britain. An introduction attempts to place the book in relation to the production of knowledge, as compared with books in allied genres. The first main section considers the nature and causes of error, divided into categories of culpable and venial mistakes. The second looks at the way in which the Tour textualizes the author's doubts concerning the accuracy of sources. The third reviews in detail three cases where Defoe's error has become evident in the light of modern scholarly knowledge, techniques, and procedures. A brief conclusion suggests implications for our approach to literature of the past.
Advances in the discovery of genetic elements underlying longissimus dorsi muscle growth and development in the pig
Authors: Zeng Qingjie , Du Zhi‐Qiang 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAs a major source of protein in human diets, pig meat plays a crucial role in ensuring global food security. Key determinants of meat production refer to the chemical and physical compositions or characteristics of muscle fibers, such as the number, hypertrophy potential, fiber‐type conversion and intramuscular fat deposition. However, the growth and formation of muscle fibers comprises a complex process under spatio‐temporal regulation, that is, the intermingled and concomitant proliferation, differentiation, migration and fusion of myoblasts. Recently, with the fast and continuous development of next‐generation sequencing technology, the integration of quantitative trait loci mapping with genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) has greatly helped animal geneticists to discover and explore thousands of functional or causal genetic elements underlying muscle growth and development. However, owing to the underlying complex molecular mechanisms, challenges to in‐depth understanding and utilization remain, and the cost of large‐scale sequencing, which requires integrated analyses of high‐throughput omics data, is high. In this review, we mainly elaborate on research advances in integrative analyses (e.g. GWAS, omics) for identifying functional genes or genomic elements for longissimus dorsi muscle growth and development for different pig breeds, describing several successful transcriptome analyses and functional genomics cases, in an attempt to provide some perspective on the future functional annotation of genetic elements for muscle growth and development in pigs.

Published: October 2023

AbstractIntroductionResponsiveness of health care systems is a global concept defined as the ability of systems to function in a manner that meets the expectations of individuals, and is under‐studied. In Australia, Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Organisations (ACCHOs) are valued by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples for the provision of holistic culturally safe primary health care and are well positioned to be responsive to community needs.ObjectiveTo develop a conceptual framework examining the responsiveness of a rural ACCHO to the health care needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples in their service region.DesignA qualitative interview study using abductive reasoning was conducted. Interviews conducted with Aboriginal clients, key informants, and ACCHO health personnel from two evaluations undertaken in partnership with a rural ACCHO located in Victoria, Australia, were analysed through an iterative process of identifying key concepts from the data and evidence. Key concepts were used to develop a conceptual framework.FindingsAcross the two evaluations, 22 participants were involved in data collection and 28 interviews were undertaken. A conceptual framework examining the responsiveness of a rural ACCHO to the health care needs of Aboriginal Peoples within their service region was developed and encompassed three concepts: operating within a complex adaptive system, mechanisms of responsiveness used by the ACCHO, and challenges experienced by the ACCHO when being responsive.DiscussionThe developed conceptual framework expands on research supporting the value of ACCHOs in providing holistic culturally safe health care to their communities, particularly in rural settings. A key finding is the importance for ACCHOs to meet the health care needs of their community whilst navigating needs in the context of the broader health care system. When dissonance is encountered between external system components and community needs, challenges can be experienced such as adequately resourcing models of service delivery and maintaining the provision of services.ConclusionConceptualising the health care system as a complex adaptive system in which an ACCHO operates and is responsive, highlights the competing demands experienced. Findings expand on mechanisms of responsiveness used at the service–user interface. Future research should examine how the broader health care system can support the role and functions of ACCHOs in being responsive to the health care needs of their communities.

AbstractIntroductionDiabetic retinopathy (DR) is both a microangiopathy and a neurodegenerative disease. However, the connections between both changes are not well known.PurposeTo characterise the longitudinal retinal ganglion cell layer + inner plexiform layer (GCL + IPL) changes and their association with microvascular changes in type‐2 diabetes (T2D) patients with nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR).MethodsThis two‐year prospective study (CORDIS, NCT03696810) included 122 T2D individuals with NPDR identified as risk phenotypes B and C, which present a more rapid progression. Phenotype C was identified by decreased VD ≥ 2SD in healthy controls, and phenotype B, identified by subclinical macular oedema with only minimal vascular closure. The GCL + IPL thickness, vessel density, perfusion density and area of intercapillary spaces (AIS) were assessed by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and OCT angiography (OCTA). Linear mixed effects models were employed to evaluate the retinal GCL + IPL progression and its associations.ResultsRegarding GCL + IPL thickness, T2D individuals presented on average 80.1 ± 7.49 μm, statistically significantly lower than the healthy control group, 82.5 ± 5.71 (p = 0.022), with only phenotype C differing significantly from controls (p = 0.006). GCL + IPL thickness steadily decreased during the two‐year period in both risk phenotypes, with an annual decline rate of −0.372 μm/year (p < 0.001). Indeed, phenotype C showed a higher rate of progression (−0.459 μm/year, p < 0.001) when compared to phenotype B (−0.296 μm/year, p = 0.036). Eyes with ETDRS grade 20 showed GCL + IPL thickness values comparable to those of healthy control group (83.3 ± 5.80 and 82.7 ± 5.50 μm, respectively, p = 0.880), whereas there was a progressive decrease in GCL + IPL thickness in ETDRS grades 35 and 43–47 associated with the increase in severity of the retinopathy (−0.276 μm/year, p = 0.004; −0.585 μm/year, p = 0.013, respectively). Furthermore, the study showed statistically significant associations between the progressive thinning of GCL + IPL and the progressive increase in retinal capillary non‐perfusion, with particular relevance for AIS (p < 0.001).ConclusionsOur findings showed that, in eyes with NPDR and at risk for progression, retinal neurodegeneration occurs at different rates in different risk phenotypes, and it is associated with retinal microvascular non‐perfusion.
Trust in entrepreneurial teams: The role of team narratives

Published: October 2023

AbstractAlthough trust within the entrepreneurial team is critical for its success, we have limited insights into the antecedents of a founder's trust in the team. Taking a social information processing perspective, we theorize how entrepreneurial team narratives can play an important role in building a founder's cognition‐based trust in the team. We hypothesize that the team‐level structural dimensions of diversity and distinctiveness of topics in entrepreneurial team narratives are positively related to a founder's cognition‐based trust in the team and that these relationships are less positive when the founder perceives higher levels of resource scarcity. To test our hypotheses, we apply an automated topic modeling approach to quantitatively analyze interview and survey data from 102 founders across 43 complete entrepreneurial teams. Our study has implications for research on trust in entrepreneurial teams and entrepreneurial narratives, as well as methodological implications for using topic modeling to analyze other texts in entrepreneurship research.
Do children imitate even when it is costly? New insights from a novel task

Published: October 2023

AbstractChildren have a proclivity to learn through faithful imitation, but the extent to which this applies under significant cost remains unclear. To address this, we investigated whether 4‐ to 6‐year‐old children (N = 97) would stop imitating to forego a desirable food reward. We presented participants with a task involving arranging marshmallows and craft sticks, with the goal being either to collect marshmallows or build a tower. Children replicated the demonstrated actions with high fidelity regardless of the goal, but retrieved rewards differently. Children either copied the specific actions needed to build a tower, prioritizing tower completion over reward; or adopted a novel convention of stacking materials before collecting marshmallows, and developed their own method to achieve better outcomes. These results suggest children's social learning decisions are flexible and context‐dependent, yet that when framed by an ostensive goal, children imitated in adherence to the goal despite incurring significant material costs.

AbstractSickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common genetic disorder, affecting millions of people worldwide. Aromatic aldehydes, which increase the oxygen affinity of human hemoglobin to prevent polymerization of sickle hemoglobin and inhibit red blood cell (RBC) sickling, have been the subject of keen interest for the development of effective treatment against SCD. However, the aldehyde functional group metabolic instability has severly hampered their development, except for voxelotor, which was approved in 2019 for SCD treatment. To improve the metabolic stability of aromatic aldehydes, we designed and synthesized novel molecules by incorporating Michael acceptor reactive centers into the previously clinically studied aromatic aldehyde, 5‐hydroxymethylfurfural (5‐HMF). Eight such derivatives, referred to as MMA compounds were synthesized and studied for their functional and biological activities. Unlike 5‐HMF, which forms Schiff‐base interaction with αVal1 nitrogen of hemoglobin, the MMA compounds covalently interacted with βCys93, as evidenced by reverse‐phase HPLC and disulfide exchange reaction, explaining their RBC sickling inhibitory activities, which at 2 mM and 5 mM, range from 0% to 21% and 9% to 64%, respectively. Additionally, the MMA compounds showed a second mechanism of sickling inhibition (12%–41% and 13%–62% at 2 mM and 5 mM, respectively) by directly destabilizing the sickle hemoglobin polymer. In vitro studies demonstrated sustained pharmacologic activities of the compounds compared to 5‐HMF. These findings hold promise for advancing SCD therapeutics.
Eye movements reveal that young school children shift attention when solving additions and subtractions
Authors: Masson Nicolas , Dormal Valérie , Stephany Martine , Schiltz Christine 
Published: October 2023

AbstractAdults shift their attention to the right or to the left along a spatial continuum when solving additions and subtractions, respectively. Studies suggest that these shifts not only support the exact computation of the results but also anticipatively narrow down the range of plausible answers when processing the operands. However, little is known on when and how these attentional shifts arise in childhood during the acquisition of arithmetic. Here, an eye‐tracker with high spatio‐temporal resolution was used to measure spontaneous eye movements, used as a proxy for attentional shifts, while children of 2nd (8 y‐o; N = 50) and 4th (10 y‐o; N = 48) Grade solved simple additions (e.g., 4+3) and subtractions (e.g., 3‐2). Gaze patterns revealed horizontal and vertical attentional shifts in both groups. Critically, horizontal eye movements were observed in 4th Graders as soon as the first operand and the operator were presented and thus before the beginning of the exact computation. In 2nd Graders, attentional shifts were only observed after the presentation of the second operand just before the response was made. This demonstrates that spatial attention is recruited when children solve arithmetic problems, even in the early stages of learning mathematics. The time course of these attentional shifts suggests that with practice in arithmetic children start to use spatial attention to anticipatively guide the search for the answer and facilitate the implementation of solving procedures.Research Highlights
Additions and subtractions are associated to right and left attentional shifts in adults, but it is unknown when these mechanisms arise in childhood.
Children of 8–10 years old solved single‐digit additions and subtractions while looking at a blank screen.
Eye movements showed that children of 8 years old already show spatial biases possibly to represent the response when knowing both operands.
Children of 10 years old shift attention before knowing the second operand to anticipatively guide the search for plausible answers.

AbstractAimTo explore the impact of type 2 diabetes (T2D), glycaemic control and use of glucose‐lowering medication on clinical outcomes in hospitalized patients with COVID‐19.Materials and MethodsFor all patients admitted to a hospital in the Capital Region of Denmark (1 March 2020 to 1 December 2021) with confirmed COVID‐19, we extracted data on mortality, admission to intensive care unit (ICU), demographics, comorbidities, medication use and laboratory tests from the electronic health record system. We compared patients with T2D to patients without diabetes using Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for available confounding variables. Outcomes were 30‐day mortality and admission to an ICU. For patients with T2D, we also analysed the association of baseline haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels and use of specific glucose‐lowering medications with the outcomes.ResultsIn total, 4430 patients were analysed, 1236 with T2D and 2194 without diabetes. The overall 30‐day mortality was 19% (n = 850) and 10% (n = 421) were admitted to an ICU. Crude analyses showed that patients with T2D both had increased mortality [hazard ratio (HR) 1.37; 95% CI 1.19‐1.58] and increased risk of ICU admission (HR 1.28; 95% CI 1.04‐1.57). When adjusted for available confounders, this discrepancy was attenuated for both mortality (adjusted HR 1.13; 95% CI 0.95‐1.33) and risk of ICU admission (adjusted HR 1.01; 95% CI 0.79‐1.29). Neither baseline haemoglobin A1c nor specific glucose‐lowering medication use were significantly associated with the outcomes.ConclusionAmong those hospitalized for COVID‐19, patients with T2D did not have a higher risk of death and ICU admission, when adjusting for confounders.
