Exploring the effect of dihydrotestosterone on nucleotide‐binding and oligomerization domain‐like receptor expression in spotted snakehead Channa punctata (Bloch 1793)
Authors: Chuphal Bhawna , Sathoria Priyanka , Rai Umesh , Roy Brototi 
Published: August 2023

AbstractSex steroids are known to modulate immune responses and as a result many of the immune parameters in seasonally breeding organisms show reproductive‐phase dependent variation. Androgens, the male sex steroids, are largely reported to be immunosuppressive. Together with other pattern recognition receptors, the nucleotide‐binding and oligomerization domain‐like receptors (NLRs) serve as intracellular sentinels and are essential to defense mechanisms. Interestingly, to date the transcriptional modulation of NLRs by androgens has not been explored. In the present study, we investigated the reproductive‐phase dependent expression of NLRs in the male spotted snakehead Channa punctata. Furthermore, the effect of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) on NLR expression was studied. The expression of NLRs was observed to be most pronounced during the spawning phase of the fish, which is marked by the highest testosterone level. In vivo as well as in vitro studies showed the diverse effect of DHT on NLR expression depending on the duration and mode of treatment, as well as the immune tissue studied.

AbstractIn this research, the influences of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) on gelatinization properties of potato starch (POS) were evaluated. The swelling power of POS was inhibited, and the leaching of amylose declined. The LBP increased the peak temperature (Tp), while decreased the enthalpy (ΔH) of gel from 6.62 to 4.87 J g−1. Compared with pure POS gel, the hardness of POS gel added with 0.6% LBP decreased by 13% after storage for 20 days. The syneresis of gels that exposed to four freeze–thaw cycles was significantly reduced from 65.8% to 41.2%. Rheological measurements revealed that the viscoelasticity of composites was enhanced. The addition of LBP can enlarge the particle size of composite gels, and make the microstructure of composite gels become smooth, compact, and thicker pore wall. Fourier‐transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and interaction force test showed that the hydrophobic bond was likely to be the main force.Practical applicationsThe incorporation of LBP could improve the gelling characteristics of POS‐based gel by delaying the change on gel hardness of POS composites during storage, and reducing the undesirable impact of freeze‐thawing treatment on POS gel system. The research outcome of the gelling characteristics of POS‐based gel can be used for frozen food, low‐temperature refrigerated food, and soft food. And the results of rheological behavior on POS‐based gel can be used in sauces, thickeners, and puddings.

IntroductionPrior to the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic, studies of innovative telehealth perinatal care models showed similar clinical outcomes and perceived quality of care between groups receiving a combination of virtual video and in‐person visits. However, these studies included primarily White, English‐speaking participants, excluding those who were economically disenfranchised or did not speak English. The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe perinatal patients’ and providers’ experiences with telehealth during and after the acute phase of the COVID‐19 pandemic to inform future utilization of telehealth to drive the delivery of high‐quality, accessible, and equitable perinatal care to diverse communities.MethodsThis descriptive qualitative study included a purposive sample of 14 patients and 17 providers who received or provided perinatal care via telehealth in either a certified nurse‐midwifery practice or the nurse‐family partnership care model between March 2020 and April 2022. Maximum variation sampling offered a diverse population based on race, ethnicity, and rurality. Researchers conducted 2 rounds of semistructured interviews with a focus on understanding social and geographic context.ResultsSix themes were identified through inductive analysis: (1) unexpected advantages of telehealth, (2) patient empowerment, (3) providers’ fear of adverse outcomes, (4) concern for equitable care, (5) strategies to enhance the telehealth experience, and (6) strategies to address access to perinatal telehealth. Patients appreciated the increased ease and reduced cost of accessing visits, which led to fewer missed appointments. Health care providers saw great opportunity in telehealth but expressed concerns about accessibility for patients with language barriers or limited resources.DiscussionThis study provides insight into priorities for continued telehealth utilization focused on providing equitable access to perinatal care. Rather than returning to practices from before the COVID‐19 pandemic formed from longstanding routines and perceived limitations, providers are encouraged to capitalize on the rapid innovations in telehealth to build a more effective, equitable, and patient‐centered approach to perinatal care.
Perception versus the reality of financial situation: The role of personality traits in the United States

Published: August 2023

AbstractAn individual might have a net worth of $10,000 and believe they are in great shape financially, while another individual might have $100,000 and feel otherwise. Could personality explain this disparity between perception and reality of their financial situation? This study answers this research question using data from the 2018 Health and Retirement Study (HRS). Findings from this study show that conscientious and extraverted consumers believe they are doing better than they are. Conversely, consumers who exhibit traits relating to neuroticism, openness to experience, and agreeableness think their financial situation is worse than it is. These findings have implications for consumers, professional advisors, and policymakers.

Abstract
Studies on plant responses to combined abiotic stresses are very limited, especially in major crop plants. The current study evaluated the response of chorismate mutase overexpressor (OxCM) rice line to combined UV light and drought stress.
The experiments were conducted in pots in a growth chamber, and data were assessed for gene expression, antioxidant and hormone regulation, flavonoid accumulation, phenotypic variation, and amino acid accumulation.
Wild‐type (WT) rice had reduced the growth and vigour, while transgenic rice maintained growth and vigour under combined UV light and drought stress. ROS and lipid peroxidation analysis revealed that chorismate mutase (OsCM) reduced oxidative stress mediated by ROS scavenging and reduced lipid peroxidation. The combined stresses reduced biosynthesis of total flavonoids, kaempferol and quercetin in WT plants, but increased significantly in plants with OxCM. Phytohormone analysis showed that SA was reduced by 50% in WT and 73% in transgenic plants, while ABA was reduced by 22% in WT plants but increased to 129% in transgenic plants. Expression of chorismate mutase regulates phenylalanine biosynthesis, UV light and drought stress‐responsive genes, e.g., phenylalanine ammonia lyase (OsPAL), dehydrin (OsDHN), dehydration‐responsive element‐binding (OsDREB), ras‐related protein 7 (OsRab7), ultraviolet‐B resistance 8 (OsUVR8), WRKY transcription factor 89 (OsWRKY89) and tryptophan synthase alpha chain (OsTSA). Moreover, OsCM also increases accumulation of free amino acids (aspartic acid, glutamic acid, leucine, tyrosine, phenylalanine and proline) and sodium (Na), potassium (K), and calcium (Ca) ions in response to the combined stresses.
Together, these results suggest that chorismate mutase expression induces physiological, biochemical and molecular changes that enhance rice tolerance to combined UV light and drought stresses.

AbstractBackground and ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the longitudinal changes in cardiopulmonary function (CPF) and identify predictors of cardiopulmonary recovery failure after lung cancer surgery.MethodsData was obtained from a prospective CATCH‐LUNG cohort study, where patients were divided into two groups based on 6‐min walk distance (6MWD) at baseline and 6 months after surgery. CPF recovery failure was defined as a participant whose 6MWD dropped over 50 m from baseline to 6 months after surgery. Patients with a baseline 6MWD less than 400 m were excluded. The analysis was investigated using mixed effects models, and the relative estimates for the predictors were expressed relative risk (RR) and 95% CI using a Poisson regression.ResultsAmong 419 patients, 24.1% and 17.7% showed failure of CPF recovery at 6 months and 1 year after surgery, respectively. In the multivariable analysis, baseline step count [RR per 1000 steps lower = 1.05 (95% CI, 1.01–1.09)], baseline dyspnoea [RR per 10 points higher = 1.15(1.07–1.23)], decreased FEV1% predicted from baseline to 2 weeks after surgery [RR per 10% lower = 1.30(1.10–1.53)] and decreased moderate‐to‐vigorous physical activity (MVPA) from baseline to 2 weeks [RR = 1.95(1.22, 3.11)] or persistent low MVPA at baseline and 2 weeks after surgery [RR = 1.63(1.04, 2.54)] were significant factors for loss of CPF.ConclusionThe inability to recover CPF at 6 months after surgery was linked to reduction of lung function and MVPA from baseline to 2 weeks as well as baseline physical activity (PA) and dyspnoea. These results imply that engagement of perioperative PA is necessary to facilitate recovery of CPF after lung cancer surgery.
‘Show me you're trying, that's all…’: Exploring the discursive impact of punishments and incentives in theWelshhomelessness system as ‘controlled conditionalities’
Authors: England Edith 
Published: August 2023

AbstractDiscussion around sanctions within the welfare state has been largely framed within a Wacquantian understanding of punitive modes of governance, neglecting the discursive life of conditionality as a source of normative social control. I use a Critical Discourse Analysis of extended interviews with 98 actors within the Welsh homelessness system to propose that conditionality operates through sanctions to further an agenda of creating a context responsibilisation and empowerment. I draw upon Deleuze's Societies of Control approach, proposing the term ‘controlled conditionalities’ to account for the power of illusory freedom through opportunity, operating through tight control of choice. I show (1) that despite the changes to homelessness law in Wales, Wacquantian‐style punitive conditionality is perceived as largely irrelevant by those engaged in administering the system; (2) ‘controlled conditionalities’ operate through abandonment of welfare citizens (3) ‘controlled conditionalities’ operate primarily through curating a desire in applicants to be recognised as normative and compliant. The paper offers a nuanced counter to a prevailing understanding of punitivity as a dominant and effective form of welfare governance and advances theoretical approaches through the development of the concept of controlled conditionalities.

AbstractBackgroundHidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic and recurrent disease of the axilla and groin with inflammatory lesions. There is no definitive medication or intervention to cure the disease. Radiofrequency (RF) is a modality to destroy the lesions by transferring heat into the skin. To date, few studies have been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of RF at HS.MethodsThis 9‐month, prospective, nonrandomized, and single‐blinded study is a clinical trial conducted in 10 patients with refractory HS. In all patients, the initial grade of HS was evaluated. The procedure involved treating HS of the axilla with a endo‐RF wave device. Post‐treatment evaluation included: determination of the severity of the disease by a blinded dermatologist, the degree of patient satisfaction, tolerability in each patient, and complications of the procedure. We also evaluate the recurrence of the disease during a 6‐month follow‐up.ResultsThe satisfaction level after the intervention among under‐studied cases was excellent and good in six of cases. There was a significant difference in comparing the grading score of patients before and 3 months after receiving RF (P‐value: 0.01). Regarding tolerability, eight of the patients could tolerate it. We had no complication after the intervention and four cases had not recurrence during a 6‐month follow‐up.ConclusionEndo‐RF is an effective and safe modality for treating HS however to prevent the recurrence, periodic therapy sessions are needed.

AbstractObjectivesTo summarise data on human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) services available to farmworkers in sub‐Saharan Africa (SSA).MethodsWe conducted a systematic review to understand which HIV prevention and care services were accessed by farm workers in SSA. MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, CINAHL (EBSCO Host), Cochrane library, African Index Medicus, Scopus, Google Scholar, Open Grey, and Web of Science Proceedings Citation Index were searched. Studies were eligible for inclusion if they measured or reported on the presence of HIV workplace policy frameworks, guidelines, or programmes for HIV prevention, treatment and care services, and other treatment modalities specifically targeting farmworkers.ResultsNine studies published between 2005 and 2019 were included in the review. Six themes emerged from included studies, which include HIV policy, HIV prevention (awareness, education, and condom supply), voluntary counselling and testing, antiretroviral therapy (ART), linkage to care, and mobile clinic. Though availability of an HIV policy was inadequate, a significant positive impact of the HIV policy in influencing behaviour change was reported. Most of the farm workers could access HIV education and condom supply in their places of work. Access to ART, treatment support, and linkage to care was inadequate, but community outreach programmes and mobile clinics showed success in reaching a high number of workers with HIV testing and treatment. A majority of farm workers faced barriers in accessing government health facilities.ConclusionsThe findings suggest that there is poor access to HIV services for farmworkers in SSA. There is a dire need to scale up HIV services and programmes, including mobile health facilities, in agricultural settings. Due to high labour migration patterns among farmworkers, we recommend cross‐country HIV programmes that allow continuity of care across borders.
A Methodological Framework to Study Change in Team Cognition Under the Dynamical Hypothesis
Authors: van Eijndhoven Kyana , Wiltshire Travis J. , Hałgas Elwira A. , Gevers Josette M. P. 
Published: August 2023

AbstractThe dynamical hypothesis claims that cognitive systems, such as teams, are dynamical systems (i.e., an interdependent collection of individuals and their technology that change together over time). Following this hypothesis, team researchers have adopted dynamical approaches to better understand the team cognitive processes and states that formteam cognition, as well as how they emerge over time. One approach focuses onteam coordination dynamics, which examines the coupling of signals between interacting individuals in various modalities, and has been shown to reflect aspects of team functioning including team cognition. However, how changes in team coordination relate to high‐level team cognitive processes and states, as well as important events, are not yet fully understood. To this end, we advance a methodological framework for researching team cognition under the dynamical hypothesis. Subsequently, we provided an empirical case‐study application of this framework. Thereby, this work contributes methodologically and empirically to a deeper understanding of team cognition, the dynamical hypothesis, and the synergy between them.
A donor safety evidence literature review of the short‐ and long‐term effects of plasmapheresis
Authors: Hoad Veronica C. , Castrén Johanna , Norda Rut , Pink Joanne 
Published: August 2023

AbstractMany blood establishments are expanding plasmapheresis collection capacity to achieve increasing plasma for fractionation volume targets, driven by immunoglobulin product demand. Some adverse events occur in both apheresis and whole blood collection, such as venepuncture‐related trauma and vasovagal reactions. Others are specifically related to the apheresis procedure, such as citrate reactions, haemolysis, infiltration and air embolism. Whilst plasmapheresis procedures are generally well tolerated, theoretical longer term donor health considerations, such as the effects on donor plasma protein levels, bone mineral density, iron deficiency and malignancy also require consideration. An evidence‐based framework that supports a safe and sustainable increase in the collection of plasma is essential. Our review demonstrates a lack of high‐quality evidence on risks and outcomes specifically in plasmapheresis. Whilst conservative procedural controls and donor harm minimization policies will mitigate risk, high‐quality evidence is needed to facilitate practice change that is safe and sustainable and maximizes the potential of individual donor differences.

Published: August 2023

Objective:The objective of the review is to explore and understand the postpartum experiences of birthing people and their families during COVID-19.Introduction:Positive postpartum experiences are formative for the long-term health and well-being of parents and babies. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has complicated the transition to parenthood and existing postpartum challenges through evolving policies and practices, including visiting limitations, masking requirements, and reduced accessibility of supports. Understanding the impact of COVID-19 on the postpartum experiences of women, birthing people (people who give birth but may not identify as women), and their families through the synthesis of qualitative evidence can help inform public health and government directives in comparable future contexts.Inclusion criteria:Studies including women, birthing people, and families who experienced postpartum during the COVID-19 pandemic will be considered. This review will include studies published after January 2020 that explore postpartum experiences up to 1 year following birth. We will examine qualitative data, including, but not limited to, research designs such as phenomenology, ethnography, grounded theory, feminist research, and action research.Methods:The following databases will be searched: MEDLINE (Ovid), Embase (Ovid), CINAHL (EBSCOhost), PsycINFO (Ovid), and LitCovid. PsyArXiv and Google Scholar will be searched for gray literature. Studies will be assessed and appraised independently by 2 reviewers and disagreements will be resolved through discussion or with a third reviewer. Data extraction will be completed by 2 reviewers. The JBI tools and resources will be used for assessing confidence and meta-aggregation, including the creation of categories and synthesized findings.Review registration:PROSPERO CRD42022364030
Data Augmentation-Based Manufacturing Quality Prediction Approach in Human Cyber-Physical Systems

Published: August 2023

Abstract
The vigorous development of the human cyber-physical system (HCPS) and the next generation of artificial intelligence provide new ideas for smart manufacturing, where manufacturing quality prediction is an important issue in the manufacturing system. However, the small-scale data from humans in emerging HCPS-enabled manufacturing restrict the development of traditional quality prediction methods. To address this question, a data augmentation-based manufacturing quality prediction approach in human cyber-physical systems is proposed in this paper. Specifically, a Data Augmentation-Gradient Boosting Decision Tree (DA-GBDT) model is developed for quality prediction under the HCPS context. In addition, an adaptive selection algorithm of data augmentation rate is designed to balance the trade-off between the training time of the prediction model and the prediction accuracy. Finally, the experimental results of automobile covering products demonstrate that the proposed method can improve the average prediction error of the model compared with the prevailing quality prediction methods. Moreover, the predicted quality information can provide guidance for product optimization decisions in smart manufacturing systems.
Physics-Guided Long Short-Term Memory Networks for Emission Prediction in Laser Powder Bed Fusion

Published: August 2023

Abstract
Powder bed fusion (PBF) is an additive manufacturing process in which laser heat liquefies blown powder particles on top of a powder bed, and cooling solidifies the melted powder particles. During this process, the laser beam heat interacts with the powder causing thermal emission and affecting the melt pool. This paper aims to predict heat emission in PBF by harnessing the strengths of recurrent neural networks. Long short-term memory (LSTM) networks are developed to learn from sequential data (emission readings), while the learning is guided by process physics including laser power, laser speed, layer number, and scanning patterns. To reduce the computational efforts on model training, the LSTM models are integrated with a new approach for down-sampling the pyrometry raw data and extracting useful statistical features from raw data. The structure and hyperparameters of the LSTM model reflect several iterations of tuning based on the training on the pyrometer readings data. Results reveal useful knowledge on how raw pyrometer data should be processed to work the best with LSTM, how physics features are informative in predicting overheating, and the effectiveness of physics-guided LSTM in emission prediction.
