Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTParental feeding styles are an important factor influencing child development. Traditionally, they have been classified into four styles based on cut‐off points for responsiveness and demandingness. However, alternative methods, such as latent class analysis (LCA), allow for the detection of underlying homogeneous populations. The aims of this study are to: (a) identify different parental feeding styles in a Spanish sample using LCA; (b) explore the characteristics of the classes of different parenting styles, taking into account sociodemographic and psychological variables; and (c) compare the classification of parental feeding styles by assessment method: LCA versus the median split cut‐off point to determine high and low levels for each dimension. A cross‐sectional study (n = 774, including fathers and mothers of toddlers) was conducted to perform a one‐step LCA with covariates, using items that assess the demandingness and responsiveness feeding dimensions. Cross‐tabulations were performed to compare the use of LCA versus the median cut‐off point for assessing parental feeding styles/patterns. Four different patterns emerged from the LCA, characterised by high or moderate scores for responsiveness and varying scores for demandingness. These were labelled as the Moderately Authoritative, Authoritative, Moderate, and Indulgent classes. Mothers were more likely to belong to the Indulgent class, and high levels of parental stress increased the likelihood of parents belonging to the Moderate class. The classification of participants was not consistent between the two methods. Authoritarian and uninvolved feeding behaviours were not detected using LCA. In conclusion, gender and parental stress were factors that may help to explain the distribution of parents across feeding styles. These variables should therefore be considered when studying different populations. Furthermore, LCA could be utilised to design more accurate intervention strategies by helping to identify common needs among parents.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThis paper presents new evidence on the growing scale of large businesses in the United States, Japan and 11 European countries. It documents a broad increase in industry concentration across the majority of countries and sectors over the period 2002–2017. The rising concentration is strongly linked to investment in intangibles—particularly innovative assets; and software and data—and this relationship is magnified in more globalised industries. The results are consistent with intangibles disproportionately benefiting large firms, enabling them to scale up and increase their market shares by leveraging intangibles across multiple markets.

ABSTRACTBackgroundThe IntellaNav MiFi OI catheter (MiFi) is equipped with a sensor for local impedance (LI) monitoring and three mini‐electrodes. In this study, we investigated the target LI values for a successful pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) under the pacing and ablation technique using the MiFi catheter.MethodsTwenty‐seven patients underwent PVI using the MiFi catheter under mini electrode pacing from the MiFi catheter. The local impedance (LI) changes, generator impedance (GI) changes, and the time to capture loss were evaluated.ResultsFirst‐pass isolations were obtained in 15 patients (57.7 %) for right PVs and in 22 patients (84.6 %) for left PVs. At gap sites, the impedance decrease was smaller than at non‐gap sites (non‐gap sites vs. gap sites; LI drop, 23.2 [±10.3] vs. 15.6 [±7.7] Ω, p < 0.0001; GI drop, 4.8 [±4.1] vs. 2.7 [3.9] Ω, p = 0.0026; %LI drop, −19.3 [±7.4] vs. −13.1 [±6.1] %, p < 0.0001; % GI drop, −5.1 [±4.2] vs. −2.9 [±4.2] %, p = 0.0020), suggesting that changes in impedance could be useful for predicting gaps. The cutoff values for predicting no gaps were identified as 15.0 Ω for the LI drop and −13.74% for the %LI drop.ConclusionThe LI showed greater changes than the GI and was also useful for predicting gaps. The cutoff values of 15.0 Ω for the LI drop and −13.74% for the %LI drop could predict conduction gaps. Under the monitoring of the LI, the pacing and ablation technique proved useful for PVI, even though the MiFi catheter does not have a CF sensor or ablation indices.

Published: January 2025

AbstractIntroductionDiet diversity (DD) in infancy may be protective for early food allergy (FA) but there is limited knowledge about how DD incorporating consumption frequency influences FA risk.MethodsThree measures of DD were investigated in 2060 infants at 6 and/or at 9 months of age within the NorthPop Birth Cohort Study: a weighted DD score based on intake frequency, the number of introduced foods, and the number of introduced allergenic foods. In multivariable logistic regression models based on directed acyclic graphs, associations to parentally reported physician‐diagnosed FA at age 9 and 18 months were estimated, including sensitivity and stratified analyses.ResultsHigh weighted DD scores (24‐31p) at age 9 months were associated with 61% decreased odds of FA at age 18 months [OR (95% CI) = 0.39 0.18–0.88] compared with infants with the lowest DD scores (0‐17p). The association remained significant after exclusion of early FA cases. Having introduced 13–14 foods at age 9 months, independent of consumption frequency, was associated with 45% decreased odds of FA [OR (95% CI) = 0.55 (0.31–0.98)] compared to having introduced 0–10 foods. When stratifying, significantly reduced odds for FA were seen for children with eczema and for children with no FA history in the family. No association was seen between DD at age 6 months and FA at age 18 months.ConclusionA diverse diet at age 9 months may prevent FA at age 18 months. Our results underscore the need for additional investigations on the impact of consumption frequency in infancy.

ABSTRACTThe generation of spectral libraries using hyperspectral data allows for the capture of detailed spectral signatures, uncovering subtle variations in plant physiology, biochemistry, and growth stages, marking a significant advancement over traditional land cover classification methods. These spectral libraries enable improved forest classification accuracy and more precise differentiation of plant species and plant functional types (PFTs), thereby establishing hyperspectral sensing as a critical tool for PFT classification. This study aims to advance the classification and monitoring of PFTs in Shoolpaneshwar wildlife sanctuary, Gujarat, India using Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer‐Next Generation (AVIRIS‐NG) and machine learning techniques. A comprehensive spectral library was developed, encompassing data from 130 plant species, with a focus on their spectral features to support precise PFT classification. The spectral data were collected using AVIRIS‐NG hyperspectral imaging and ASD Handheld Spectroradiometer, capturing a wide range of wavelengths (400–1600 nm) to encompass the key physiological and biochemical traits of the plants. Plant species were grouped into five distinct PFTs using Fuzzy C‐means clustering. Key spectral features, including band reflectance, vegetation indices, and derivative/continuum properties, were identified through a combination of ISODATA clustering and Jeffries‐Matusita (JM) distance analysis, enabling effective feature selection for classification. To assess the utility of the spectral library, three advanced machine learning classifiers—Parzen Window (PW), Gradient Boosted Machine (GBM), and Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD)—were rigorously evaluated. The GBM classifier achieved the highest accuracy, with an overall accuracy (OAA) of 0.94 and a Kappa coefficient of 0.93 across five PFTs.

ABSTRACTBackgroundLiver transplantation is the standard therapy for end‐stage liver disease in pediatric patients with biliary atresia (BA), congenital and metabolic conditions, and for an unresectable malignant tumor like hepatoblastoma (HB). BA is the leading indication for pediatric liver transplantation, while HB is the most common childhood liver cancer. Despite improved outcomes through advanced surgical techniques and novel immunosuppression, pediatric liver transplantation (pLT) is complicated by post‐transplant infections.MethodsA retrospective review was performed of pLT recipients at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (CCHMC) and stratified patients by underlying disease to assess impact on post‐transplant infectious events.ResultsBA patients were youngest at pLT (12.5 months; p < 0.001) compared to other disease cohorts (HB 30.8, other 43.7). All HB patients received organs from deceased donors. In the year following pLT, 93% of the patients experienced at least one infectious event (IE). HB patients had the highest mean number of IE across disease groups (5.5 IE/patient vs. BA 4.5, other 4.0; p = 0.055), with significantly more patients with fever and neutropenia (p < 0.001) and EBV infections (p = 0.012). HB patients were more likely to develop IE earlier after pLT than non‐HB groups (p = 0.013), especially Clostridioides difficile (p < 0.01) and fever and neutropenia (p < 0.01). Despite having variable IE experiences, 1‐and‐5‐year survival across disease groups were similar.ConclusionsIE were frequently observed in HB patients after pLT, possibly related to pre‐and‐postoperative chemotherapy and associated neutropenia. Underlying disease may help inform targeted infection‐related patient management following pLT.

ABSTRACTObjectivesTo estimate the prevalence of loneliness and to investigate the associations between loneliness and suicidality among the general population in Taiwan.DesignCross‐sectional analysis of random samples in surveys.SampleDuring 2016 and 2017, 2148 and 2098 participants (N = 4246) from a representative sampling of the Taiwanese population were interviewed via the computer‐assisted telephone system in Taiwan.MeasurementsThe study measured demographics, psychological distress, suicide risk factors, and loneliness status (single‐item measurement). The association between loneliness and psychosocial factors was analyzed using Spearman's correlation. Logistic regression was applied in the association between loneliness and current suicide ideation.ResultsAround 13.1% in the sample perceived feelings of loneliness. Loneliness status was significantly associated with increased psychological distress and suicide risks. The regression model indicated that the three most significant factors linked to loneliness were “no one trustworthy to talk to” (OR = 3.69), substance abuse (OR = 3.43), and depression (OR = 3.07), whereas self‐rated mental health (poor to good) (OR = 4.11), loneliness (OR = 2.59), and depression (OR = 2.09) were associated with current suicide ideation.ConclusionLoneliness was a significant suicide risk factor with multiple underlying psychosocial influences. Establishing support groups or service referrals through early psychosocial assessment could identify or alleviate loneliness and/or reduce suicide risk.

Published: January 2025

AbstractSpectral Solar Photosynthetically Photon Flux Density (PPFD) (380–780 nm) reaching the surface in different tree shade conditions and heights has been analyzed in order to better understand the different photosynthetic performance of plants depending on their spatial situation, the canopy density and height with respect to the floor. A comparison between the shadow of nine different trees in a sunny day and the case of a cloudy day in an open space has been studied. A poplar, laurel, amber tree, pine, olive tree, fir tree, cypress, elm tree and magnolia tree have been analyzed. The study has been developed in Valencia (Spain) during July and August 2022. Conditions with higher PPFD received are found to be, apart from those of a sunny day, those for cloudy day, and those for the shade of cypress. The case in which less amount of PPFD is received is that under the shade of olive tree. Both with a spectral maximum in the Blue region. It is also remarkable that the PPFD radiation is proportional to the height of measurement at 10 h, but this relationship changes, and at 13 h the relationship between irradiance received and height of measurement is inversely proportional.
The role of change in the relationships among decent work, political cynicism and voter turnout
Authors: Mignonac Karim 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThreats to decent working conditions and cynical views of politicians are increasingly prevalent in contemporary societies. The present study examines the potential relationship between these two trends and the mediating role that anger‐related emotions may play in this relationship. Using latent growth modeling analyses and data from a panel survey of French employees collected during the 2021–2022 French electoral cycle, I found that within‐person decreases in employees' perceptions of decent work were associated with within‐person increases in anger and hostility toward the employing organization; increases in anger and hostility, in turn, were associated with within‐person increases in political cynicism. Moreover, both initial levels and increases in political cynicism were associated with a lower likelihood of electoral participation. Overall, this research highlights how longitudinal change in workplace experiences may drive the dynamics of political cynicism and indirectly affect the vitality of democracy.
How Protestant Missions Transformed the Indo‐Myanmar Frontier
Authors: Chophy G. Kanato 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTWhat makes the Indo‐Myanmar frontier is the 1,021‐mile borderline between India and Myanmar. Notably, this frontier region lies at the junction of East, South, and South East Asia, forming a kind of geopolitical space where the culture, economy, and politics of India, Myanmar, China, and Bangladesh have exerted considerable influence. Though hemmed in by these nations, the Indo‐Myanmar frontier region stands out for its Western Protestantism roots, which has far‐reaching impact on the society, politics, and culture of the region’s diverse ethnic communities. This article explores how the Protestant missions, especially the American Baptist mission, starting from the second half of the nineteenth century transformed this backwater of British India into arguably one of the most successful Christian missionary legacies in the whole of Asia.
Heterogeneous impacts of regional trade liberalisation on export entry and training: A multi‐destination perspective
Authors: Zhuang Castiel Chen , Shao Chujian , Chen Qiliang 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThis paper studies how the export participation and labour training decisions of domestic manufacturers are affected by reduced trade barriers due to a regional trade agreement. We develop a general equilibrium model with heterogeneous firm‐level productivity and two export destinations to explain firm performance following regional trade liberalisation. Then, theoretical predictions are tested by generalised difference‐in‐differences estimations. While a single‐destination framework shows that the decrease in India's tariffs leads to increased export entry and training intensity by Chinese manufacturers, the effects of regional trade integration on firms' skill upgrading are heterogeneous in our multi‐destination setting.
Technical considerations and review of urinary microRNAs as biomarkers for chronic kidney disease in dogs and cats
Authors: Chu Candice P. , Nabity Mary B. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractMicroRNAs (miRNAs or miRs) are small, non‐coding RNAs that play a crucial role in gene regulation, making them potential biomarkers for various diseases. In the field of veterinary medicine, there is a growing interest in exploring the diagnostic and therapeutic potential of miRNAs in kidney diseases affecting dogs and cats. This review focuses on the use of urinary miRNAs as biomarkers for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in these companion animals. We introduce miRNAs, their biogenesis, and their presence in biofluids, particularly within exosomes, and discuss studies investigating miRNAs in kidney tissue and urine. We acknowledge the challenges associated with miRNA studies, including preanalytical factors such as biological variation, sample collection/processing, storage conditions, and experimental design. We highlight the importance of technical considerations, such as sample pooling, sequencing depth, multiplexing, and the various steps of the miRNA experimental workflow. Furthermore, we discuss RNA isolation methods, small RNA sequencing data analysis, and the use of quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT‐PCR) and droplet digital PCR for verification. We emphasize the importance of internal controls, spike‐ins, and normalization methods to minimize technical variation and ensure reliable results in qRT‐PCR analysis. This review concludes that while urinary miRNAs hold promise as non‐invasive biomarkers for CKD in dogs and cats, addressing the challenges and standardization of protocols is vital for the successful translation of this research into clinical practice.
The category of a partitioned fan
Authors: Kaipel Maximilian 
Published: January 2025

AbstractIn this paper the notion of an admissible partition of a simplicial polyhedral fan is introduced and the category of a partitioned fan is defined as a generalisation of the ‐cluster morphism category of a finite‐dimensional algebra. This establishes a complete lattice of categories around the ‐cluster morphism category, which is closely tied to the fan structure. We prove that the classifying spaces of these categories are cube complexes, which reduces the process of determining if they are spaces to three sufficient conditions. We characterise when these conditions are satisfied for fans in and prove that the first one, the existence of a certain faithful functor, is satisfied for hyperplane arrangements whose normal vectors lie in the positive orthant. As a consequence, we obtain a new infinite class of algebras for which the ‐cluster morphism category admits a faithful functor and for which the cube complexes are spaces. In the final section, we also offer a new algebraic proof of the relationship between an algebra and its ‐vector fan.
A flagella-dependent
Burkholderia
jumbo phage controls rice seedling rot and steers
Burkholderia glumae
toward reduced virulence in rice seedlings
Authors: Supina Brittany S. I. , McCutcheon Jaclyn G. , Peskett Sydney R. , Stothard Paul , Dennis Jonathan J. 
Published: January 2025

ABSTRACT

Bacteriophages (phages) are being investigated as potential biocontrol agents for the suppression of bacterial diseases in cultivated crops. Jumbo bacteriophages, which possess genomic DNA larger than 200 kbp, generally have a broader host range than other phages and therefore would be useful as biocontrol agents against a wide range of bacterial strains. Thus, the characterization of novel jumbo phages specific for agricultural pathogens would be of importance for the development of phage biocontrol strategies. Herein, we demonstrate that phage S13 requires
Burkholderia glumae
flagella for its attachment and infection and that loss of
B. glumae
flagella prevents S13 cellular lysis. As flagella is a known virulence factor, loss of flagella results in a surviving population of
B. glumae
with reduced virulence. Further experimentation demonstrates that phage S13 can protect rice plants from
B. glumae
-sponsored destruction in a rice seedling model of infection.

IMPORTANCE

Bacterial plant pathogens threaten many major food crops and inflict large agricultural losses worldwide.
B. glumae
is a bacterial plant pathogen that causes diseases such as rot, wilt, and blight in several food major crops including rice, tomato, hot pepper, and eggplant.
B. glumae
infects rice during all developmental stages, causing diseases such as rice seedling rot and bacterial panicle blight (BPB). The
B. glumae
incidence of rice plant infection is predicted to increase with warming global temperatures, and several different control strategies targeting
B. glumae
are being explored. These include chemical and antibiotic soil amendment, microbiome manipulation, and the use of partially resistant rice cultivars. However, despite rice growth amelioration, the treatment options for
B. glumae
plant infections remain limited to cultural practices. Alternatively, phage biocontrol represents a promising new method for eliminating
B. glumae
from crop soils and improving rice yields.
How human papillomavirus (HPV) targets DNA repair pathways for viral replication: from guardian to accomplice
Authors: Vats Arushi , Laimins Laimonis 
Published: January 2025

SUMMARY
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are small DNA viruses that are responsible for significant disease burdens worldwide, including cancers of the cervix, anogenital tract, and oropharynx. HPVs infect stratified epithelia at a variety of body locations and link their productive life cycles to the differentiation of the host cell. These viruses have evolved sophisticated mechanisms to exploit cellular pathways, such as DNA damage repair (DDR), to regulate their life cycles. HPVs activate key DDR pathways such as ATM, ATR, and FA, which are critical for maintaining genomic integrity but are often dysregulated in cancers. Importantly, these DDR pathways are essential for HPV replication in undifferentiated cells and amplification upon differentiation. The ability to modulate these DDR pathways not only enables HPV persistence but also contributes to cellular transformation. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in understanding the mechanisms by which HPV manipulates the host DDR pathways and how these depend upon enhanced topoisomerase activity and R-loop formation. Furthermore, the strategies to manipulate DDR pathways utilized by high-risk HPVs are compared with those used by other DNA viruses that exhibit similarities and distinct differences.
