Development of non-electrically controlled SalivaDirect LAMP (NEC-SD-LAMP), a new nonelectrical infectious disease testing method
Authors: Kimura Yusuke , Ikeuchi Masashi 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn this study, non-electrically controlled SalivaDirect loop-mediated isothermal amplification (NEC-SD-LAMP), which can detect infections by amplifying viral DNA expression in saliva without using electrical control systems, was developed. By this method, only by adding water to the device, viral DNA was extracted from saliva using SalivaDirect, the extracted DNA was amplified via loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), and the results were visually confirmed. Melting palmitic acid maintained the optimal temperature for the LAMP reaction, as the temperature of palmitic acid is maintained at 62.9 °C, its melting point. By exploiting the proximity of the melting point to the optimal temperature for LAMP, LAMP can be performed without electricity. We detected several viruses in the saliva using this method. NEC-SD-LAMP could clearly distinguish 3 types of viral DNA, indicating the high specificity of this reaction. Furthermore, the viral concentration detection limit of the device was 2 copies per µL, indicating that it is possible to detect DNA viral infections in saliva even before the onset of viral infection.
How Exporters Grow

Abstract
We use customs data for Irish firms to show that in successful episodes of export market entry, there are statistically and economically significant post-entry dynamics of quantities, but not of mark-ups. To match these moments, we structurally estimate a model where firms can invest in future customer base through two channels: by selling more today, and by spending on marketing and advertising. Our estimates suggest that customer base is insensitive to lagged sales, so firms have no incentive to engage in dynamic pricing to accumulate customers. Instead, investment in customer base through marketing and advertising explains the dynamics of quantities. The ratio of advertising and marketing expenditures to sales implied by the model is consistent with data from other sources. Our estimated model generates long-run export responses to permanent tariff changes that are bigger than short run responses, as well as responses that are increasing in the expected persistence of tariff shocks, contributing to our understanding of the International Elasticity Puzzle.
Diversity and inclusion in hospitality and tourism: bridging the gap between employee and customer perspectives
Authors: Madera Juan M. , Yang Wan , Wu Laurie , Ma Emily (Jintao) , Xu Shi (Tracy) 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
This paper aims to provide a critical reflection on diversity and inclusion research from the hospitality and tourism literature.

Design/methodology/approach
Through conducting a critical reflection, this paper used a thematic analysis focused on integrating the scholarly literature that has developed separately: one focusing on the human resources perspective and another concentrating on customer behavior. This critical reflection bridges the gap between these two perspectives.

Findings
The authors develop and offer a research agenda for future research drawing from three areas ripe for future research: human resources management, diversity resistance and marketing. They focus on theory-driven research that has practical applications to make hospitality and tourism more inclusive for both the workforce and consumers.

Practical implications
Meaningful research must be translated into practice, and by addressing these research gaps, organizations can gain insights into diverse worker and customer experiences and create more effective diversity initiatives.

Originality/value
The current literature often lacks an integrated approach that bridges the gap between the two reviewed perspectives: the human resources management and marketing perspectives. A holistic understanding of diversity and inclusion is vital, as it recognizes the interconnectedness between employees and customers within the context of the hospitality and tourism sector is important for several reasons.
Risk management efficiency of Takaful and conventional insurance sectors in UAE and KSA
Authors: Abu Al-Haija Elias , Houcine Asma 
Published: July 2023

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to extend previous literature and examine risk management efficiency among Takaful (TI) and conventional insurance (CI) firms in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This study also aims to determine whether Takaful firms are more efficient in managing risks, compared to CI firms.

Design/methodology/approach
This study examines risk management efficiency among Takaful and CI firms in the KSA and the UAE for a sample of 20 insurance firms comprising 10 TI firms and 10 CI firms for the period 2018–2020. The authors use Data Envelopment Analysis to estimate efficiency scores among insurance companies to compare risk management efficiency between CI and TI companies and apply two-way analysis of variance to statistically analyze the data.

Findings
The results of this study show that TI firms have a higher efficiency score than CI firms, but not significantly and that insurance firms in KSA have higher efficiency scores than insurance firms in UAE. The results also reveal that TI firms did not significantly outperform CI firms in managing risks; however, there is a significant difference in efficiency scores among insurance firms in KSA and UAE.

Research limitations/implications
The authors also contribute to the literature by providing important insights into how the operational business environment of the country can influence the risk management efficiency of CI and TI companies.

Practical implications
This study promotes understanding the insurance industry, its efficiency and risk management, thus offering key implications for decision-makers, regulators and managers associated with the insurance industry in UAE, KSA and other emerging insurance markets. Regulators could provide enabling policies that foster and promote the business environment, as there is a need to improve risk management efficiency in the insurance industry. Also, the results of this study show that the operating status of the UAE insurance industry in terms of efficiency and risk management is lower than that of KSA. Hence, it would be useful for UAE managers and regulators in taking steps to improve the overall insurance industry market.

Originality/value
The results of this study make significant contributions by providing new insights to the existing literature on the risk management efficiency in the insurance industry, as it adopts a different methodological approach that examines risk management efficiency among TI and CI companies.
Seasonal trends in leaf‐level photosynthetic capacity and water use efficiency in a North American Eastern deciduous forest and their impact on canopy‐scale gas exchange
Authors: Davidson Kenneth J. , Lamour Julien , McPherran Anna , Rogers Alistair , Serbin Shawn P. 
Published: July 2023

SummaryVegetative transpiration (E) and photosynthetic carbon assimilation (A) are known to be seasonally dynamic, with changes in their ratio determining the marginal water use efficiency (WUE). Despite an understanding that stomata play a mechanistic role in regulating WUE, it is still unclear how stomatal and nonstomatal processes influence change in WUE over the course of the growing season. As a result, limited understanding of the primary physiological drivers of seasonal dynamics of canopy WUE remains one of the largest uncertainties in earth system model projections of carbon and water exchange in temperate deciduous forest ecosystems.We investigated seasonal patterns in leaf‐level physiological, hydraulic, and anatomical properties, including the seasonal progress of the stomatal slope parameter (g1; inversely proportional to WUE) and the maximum carboxylation rate (Vcmax).Vcmaxandg1were seasonally variable; however, their patterns were not temporally synchronized.g1generally showed an increasing trend until late in the season, whileVcmaxpeaked during the midsummer months. Seasonal progression ofVcmaxwas primarily driven by changes in leaf structural, and anatomical characteristics, while seasonal changes ing1were most strongly related to changes inVcmaxand leaf hydraulics.Using a seasonally variableVcmaxandg1to parameterize a canopy‐scale gas exchange model increased seasonally aggregatedAandEby 3% and 16%, respectively.
The health Care Management of farmers who use pesticides in Northeast Brazil: use of pesticides and the Care Management
Authors: Silverio Astrid Merino , Cunha Maristela Casé Costa , Almeida Márlon Vinícius Gama 
Published: July 2023

AbstractIn Brazil, the health of communities that use pesticides is still neglected due to the lack of greater social understanding of damage to health and an insufficient care network. The objective of the research was to investigate health management practices, from the perspective of the expanded health care network (RAS), focusing on riverside farmers who use pesticides in the municipalities of Petrolina (PE) and Juazeiro (BA) in the Northeast of Brazil. The study aimed to explore these practices from the perspective of the healthcare network (RAS). This is a qualitative research, with a methodological framework based on the Grounded Theory in a constructivist way (CGT). Twenty-six health professionals and RAS managers participated, at the municipal and regional levels in Petrolina (PE) and Juazeiro (BA). Two sample groups were composed for data collection, carried out through semi-structured interviews. The analysis resulted in six categories, which, when integrated, made up the theoretical model “Model of care management for riverside farmers”. The RAS must have teams trained in the care of riverside farmers who use pesticides in primary care, and specialized teams in secondary and tertiary care, who are a reference. The theoretical model formulated considers that the RAS, strengthened in terms of diversity of actions and services, will provide better care management for farmers.

Published: July 2023

Abstract
This study employed a novel approach by analyzing the self-healing asphalt literature based on scientometric analysis. The most difficult components of modern study are the mapping and analysis of knowledge, co-citations, and co-occurrences. Scopus was searched to find the necessary data for the analysis, which consisted of keywords, abstracts, citations, and bibliographic information. Throughout the data assessment process, the most prolific research locations, the most often referenced articles, and the most influential authors in the field of self-healing asphalt were analyzed, along with their correlations. The need for self-repairing asphalt was also emphasized, along with the main problems of using it. The keyword analysis showed that researchers have studied self-healing asphalt for crack repair in asphalt road pavements as a sustainable maintenance method. The literature study showed that heating and encapsulating rejuvenating chemicals are two techniques of self-healing asphalt. Encapsulation uses rejuvenating capsules, whereas the heating technique uses induction heating and microwave radiation. Researchers have also developed hybrid asphalt self-healing methods as enhanced self-healing for asphalt. Academics may benefit from the quantitative assessment of regions and researchers as well as the scientific description of these areas in order to form joint initiatives and spread new ideas and approaches.

Abstract
In marine vessel operations, fuel costs are major operating costs which affect the overall profitability of the maritime transport industry. The effective enhancement of using ship fuel will increase ship operation efficiency. Since ship fuel consumption depends on different factors, such as weather, cruising condition, cargo load, and engine condition, it is difficult to assess the fuel consumption pattern for various types of ships. Most traditional statistical methods do not consider these factors when predicting marine vessel fuel consumption. With technological development, different statistical models have been developed for estimating fuel consumption patterns based on ship data. Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) are some of the most effective artificial methods for modelling and validating marine vessel fuel consumption. The application of ANN in maritime transport improves the accuracy of the regression models developed for analysing interactive relationships between various factors. The present review sheds light on consolidating the works carried out in predicting ship fuel consumption using ANN, with an emphasis on topics such as ANN structure, application and prediction algorithms. Future research directions are also proposed and the present review can be a benchmark for mathematical modelling of ship fuel consumption using ANN.

ObjectReal-world data from wearable devices has the potential to understand mental health status in everyday life. We aimed to investigate the feasibility of estimating mental health status using a wrist-worn wearable device (Fitbit Sense) that measures movement using a 3D accelerometer and optical pulse photoplethysmography (PPG).MethodsParticipants were 110 patients with mental illnesses from different diagnostic groups. The study was undertaken between 1 October 2020 and 31 March 2021. Participants wore a Fitbit Sense on their wrist and also completed the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and EuroQol 5 dimensions 5-level (EQ-5D-5L) during the study period. To determine heart rate (HR) variability (HRV), we calculated the sdnn (standard deviation of the normal-to-normal interval), coefficient of variation of R-R intervals, and mean HR separately for each sleep stage and the daytime. The association between mental health status and HR and HRV was analyzed.ResultsThe following significant correlations were found in the wake after sleep onset stage within 3 days of mental health status assessment: sdnn, HR and STAI scores, HR and PANAS scores, HR and EQ-5D-5L scores. The association between mental health status and HR and HRV was stronger the closer the temporal distance between mental health status assessment and HR measurement.ConclusionA wrist-worn wearable device that measures PPG signals was feasible for use with patients with mental illness. Resting state HR and HRV could be used as an objective assessment of mental health status within a few days of measurement.

The Effect of Topical Glutathione on Malondialdehyde Levels in Rat with Cataract-Induced Sodium Selenite
Authors: Lasmaini Oknita , Muhammad Hidayat  , Rinda Wati  
Published: July 2023

Background: Oxidative damage plays a key role in the lens opacity process. Reducing glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide protein capable of preventing the accumulation of dangerous levels of oxidation products such as hydrogen peroxide and protein disulfide bonds. Human cataract lenses contain reduced levels of reduced glutathione, so by maintaining high levels of reduced glutathione in vivo, it may be possible to prevent opacification of the lens. This study aimed to determine the effect of topical glutathione on sodium selenite-induced cataracts based on the MDA level of the rat lens.
Methods: This was an experimental study using 30 rats grouped into 3 groups (K+, P1, and P2). At the end of the study, the lens was dripped with Mydriaticum, then assessed for lens opacity. The more opacity lens was extracted, and subsequently, malondialdehyde level was measured. MDA level was analyzed using the One Way ANOVA test.
Results: The average values of rat MDA Lens levels in the K+, P1, and P2 groups were 1.91, 1.38, and 1.2 nmol/mL. Statistically, there was a significant difference in MDA levels in each treatment group with p = 0.001 (p <0.05). Analysis of the average difference in MDA between each group showed that the average MDA level of rats in the P2 group was lower than P1, the MDA levels in the P1 and P2 groups were lower than K+, and there were statistically and clinically significant differences.
Conclusion: Topical glutathione can effectively reduce the progression of cataracts in the lens of rats induced by sodium selenite which is identical to senile cataracts in humans in its mechanism of oxidative stress.
