IntroductionPolyphenol oxidases (PPOs), which are widely present in plants, play an important role in the growth, development, and stress responses. They can catalyze the oxidization of polyphenols and result in the browning of damaged or cut fruit, which seriously affects fruit quality and compromises the sale of fruit. In banana (Musa acuminata, AAA group), 10 PPO genes were determined based on the availability of a high-quality genome sequence, but the role of PPO genes in fruit browning remains unclear.MethodsIn this study, we analyzed the physicochemical properties, gene structure, conserved structural domains, and evolutionary relationship of the PPO gene family of banana. The expression patterns were analyzed based on omics data and verified by qRT-PCR analysis. Transient expression assay in tobacco leaves was used to identify the subcellular localization of selected MaPPOs, and we analyzed the polyphenol oxidase activity using recombinant MaPPOs and transient expression assay.Results and discussionWe found that more than two-thirds of the MaPPO genes had one intron, and all contained three conserved structural domains of PPO, except MaPPO4. Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that MaPPO genes were categorized into five groups. MaPPOs did not cluster with Rosaceae and Solanaceae, indicating distant affinities, and MaPPO6/7/8/9/10 clustered into an individual group. Transcriptome, proteome, and expression analyses showed that MaPPO1 exhibits preferential expression in fruit tissue and is highly expressed at respiratory climacteric during fruit ripening. Other examined MaPPO genes were detectable in at least five different tissues. In mature green fruit tissue, MaPPO1 and MaPPO6 were the most abundant. Furthermore, MaPPO1 and MaPPO7 localized in chloroplasts, and MaPPO6 was a chloroplast- and Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-localized protein, whereas MaPPO10 only localized in the ER. In addition, the enzyme activity in vivo and in vitro of the selected MaPPO protein showed that MaPPO1 had the highest PPO activity, followed by MaPPO6. These results imply that MaPPO1 and MaPPO6 are the main contributors to banana fruit browning and lay the foundation for the development of banana varieties with low fruit browning.

IntroductionPast research has shown that psychological states tend to fluctuate across the days of a week, which is referred to as the day-of-week (DOW) effect. This study investigated the DOW effect on liberalism-conservatism among Chinese people by testing two competing hypotheses. According to the cognitive states hypothesis, it was predicted that liberalism would be high on Mondays but gradually decrease to Fridays due to the depletion of cognitive resources over the weekdays. In contrast, the affective states hypothesis predicted the opposite, considering the more positive affect brought by the approaching weekends. Both hypotheses predicted the level of liberalism would peak at weekends.MethodsData (n = 171,830) were collected via an online questionnaire, the Chinese Political Compass (CPC) survey, which includes 50 items to measure people’ liberalism-conservatism in three domains (i.e., political, economic, and social).ResultsThe results showed the level of liberalism decreased gradually from Mondays until Wednesdays, rebounded from Wednesdays to Fridays, and peaked at weekends.DiscussionThe V-shaped pattern suggested that the DOW fluctuation in liberalism-conservatism could derive from the synergy of both cognitive and affective processes, instead of either one alone. The findings have important implications for practice and policy-making, including the recent pilot scheme of 4-day workweek.
The underlying mechanism between compulsory citizenship behaviors and employee innovative work behaviors and knowledge sharing: A moderated mediation model

Published: February 2023

PurposeThis paper draws on conservation of resources theory to advance the literature on extra-role performance behaviors among academics, particularly innovative work behaviors and knowledge sharing, through the lens of work stressors.MethodsWe develop a moderated-mediated model based on multi-source, multi-timed, and multi-level data from a sample of 207 academics and 137 direct supervisors in five higher education institutions in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).FindingsResults show that academics’ compulsory citizenship behaviors positively influence negative affectivity, which, in turn, negatively impacts academics’ innovative work behavior and knowledge sharing. The detrimental effect of compulsory citizenship behaviors on negative affectivity is then positively moderated by passive leadership, which amplifies this relationship. The combined effect of compulsory citizenship behaviors and negative affectivity exerted on innovative work behavior and knowledge sharing are magnified amid the elevated presence of passive leadership, while gender does not significantly influence this association.OriginalityThis is a pioneering study in the context of UAE to look into the counterproductive impact of CCB on employee innovative work behaviors and knowledge sharing.ImplicationsPertinent theoretical and managerial implications are discussed.

BackgroundThis study aimed to examine the internal structure and assess the psychometric properties of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) in a Puerto Rican sample of workers. This instrument is a nine-item questionnaire, which was conceptualized as a unidimensional structure; however, there are mixed results regarding this internal structure. This measure is used in the occupational health psychology context in organizations in Puerto Rico; nevertheless, there is little evidence of its psychometric properties with samples of workers.Materials and methodsA total of 955 samples from two different study samples were used in this cross-sectional study design in which the PHQ-9 was used. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis, bifactor analysis, and random intercept item factor analysis to examine the internal structure of the PHQ-9. Moreover, a two-factor model was examined by randomly assigning items to the two factors. Measurement invariance across sex and the relationship with other constructs were examined.ResultsThe best-fitted model was the bifactor model followed by the random intercept item factor. The five sets of two-factor models with items randomly assigned obtained acceptable and similar fit indices regardless of the items.ConclusionThe results suggest that the PHQ-9 appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to measure depression. The more parsimonious interpretation of its scores, for now, is a unidimensional structure. Comparison across sex appears to be useful in occupational health psychology research settings since the results suggest that the PHQ-9 is invariant regarding this variable.

BackgroundSex differences may be presented in the clinical features or symptoms of schizophrenia patients but also affect the occurrence of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). Modified electroconvulsive therapy (mECT) is a common treatment method for schizophrenia, used in combination with antipsychotics. This retrospective research explores the sex difference in HAP affecting patients with schizophrenia who have received mECT treatment during hospitalization.MethodsWe included schizophrenia inpatients treated with mECT and antipsychotics between January 2015 and April 2022. Blood-related and demographic data collected on admission were analyzed. Influencing factors of HAP in male and female groups were assessed separately.ResultsA total of 951 schizophrenia patients treated with mECT were enrolled in the study, including 375 males and 576 females, of which 62 patients experienced HAP during hospitalization. The risk period of HAP in these patients was found to be the first day after each mECT treatment and the first three sessions of mECT treatment. Statistically significant differences in the incidence of HAP were identified in male vs. female groups, with an incidence in men about 2.3 times higher than that in women (P &lt; 0.001). Lower total cholesterol (Z = −2.147, P = 0.032) and the use of anti-parkinsonian drugs (χ2 = 17.973, P &lt; 0.001) were found to be independent risk factors of HAP in male patients, while lower lymphocyte count (Z = −2.408, P = 0.016), hypertension (χ2 = 9.096, P = 0.003), and use of sedative-hypnotic drugs (χ2 = 13.636, P &lt; 0.001) were identified in female patients.ConclusionInfluencing factors of HAP in schizophrenia patients treated with mECT have gender differences. The first day after each mECT treatment and the first three sessions of mECT treatment were identified to have the greatest risk for HAP development. Therefore, it would be imperative to monitor clinical management and medications during this period according to these gender differences.

BackgroundAccess to water, sanitation, and hygiene is an important element for communicable disease control including the existing COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to the growing water demand and decreasing water availability, because of shrinking resources, increased urbanization, and pollution. This problem is higher, particularly among least developed countries like Ethiopia. This study, therefore, aimed at investigating the level of improved water sources and sanitation as well as their predictors in Ethiopia using EMDHS-2019.MethodMini Ethiopian Demographic and Health Surveys 2019 database survey was used in this study. Data collection took place over 3 months, from 21 March 2019 to 28 June 2019. A total of 9,150 households were selected for the sample, of which 8,794 were engaged. Among involved households, 8,663 were successfully interviewed at a response rate of 99%. The dependent variables measured in this study were improved drinking water sources and sanitation facilities. Due to the nested nature of DHS data, multilevel binary logistic regression analysis was done using Stata-16.ResultsThe majority (72.62%) of household heads were men, and 69.47% of participants were from rural areas. Close to half (47.65%) of study participants did not have any form of formal education, while the lowest proportion (9.89%) of them had higher education. Approximately 71.74 and 27.45% of the households have accessed improved water sources and sanitation, respectively. Based on the final model results, wealth index, educational status, and having a television individual-level variables while community-level poverty, community-level education, community-level media exposure, and place of residence were statistically significant predictors of getting improved water source and sanitation.ConclusionThe level of access to improved water sources is moderate but it lacks progress, while access to improved sanitation was lower. Based on these findings, great improvements should be made in providing access to an improved water source and sanitation facilities in Ethiopia. Based on these findings, great improvements should be made in providing access to improved water source and sanitation facilities in Ethiopia.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundThere is increasing evidence that regulatory problems (RPs), such as excessive crying, sleeping or feeding problems in infancy, could be associated with the development of behavioral problems in childhood. In this meta-analysis we aimed to investigate the strength and characteristics of this association.MethodsA systematic literature search (PubMed/PsycInfo, until 15/08/2021) for longitudinal prospective studies of infants with RPs and at least one follow-up assessment reporting incidence and/or severity of behavioral problems was conducted. The primary outcomes were (i) the cumulative incidence of behavioral problems in children (2–14 years) with previous RPs and (ii) the difference between children with/without previous RPs with regard to the incidence and severity of externalizing, internalizing and/or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms. Additionally, we analyzed behavioral problems of children with previous single, multiple or no RPs and with respect to age at follow-up. Subgroup and meta-regression analyses were added.Results30 meta-analyzed studies reported on 34,582 participants (nRP = 5091, ncontrol = 29,491; age: baseline = 6.5 ± 4.5 months, follow-up = 5.5 ± 2.8 years) with excessive crying (studies = 13, n = 1577), sleeping problems (studies = 9, n = 2014), eating problems (studies = 3, n = 105), any single (studies = 2, n = 201) or multiple RPs (studies = 9, n = 1194). The cumulative incidence for behavioral problems during childhood was 23.3% in children with RPs. Behavioral problems were significantly more pronounced in infants with RPs compared to healthy controls (SMD = 0.381, 95% CI = 0.296–0.466, p &lt; .001), particularly with multiple RPs (SMD = 0.291, p = 0.018).ConclusionsFindings suggest that RPs in infancy are associated with overall behavioral problems (externalizing or internalizing behavior and ADHD symptoms) in childhood. Our data cannot explain linked developmental trajectories and underlying factors. However, detection of affected infants may help to adapt supportive measures to the individual familial needs to promote the parent-child-relationship and prevent the development of child behavioral problems from early on.

PurposeSmall community hospitals (SCHs) help meet the demand for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This mixed-methods study compares outcomes and analyses of environmental differences following TKA at a SCH and a tertiary care hospital (TCH).MethodsQuantitative: A retrospective review of 352 propensity-matched primary TKA procedures at both a SCH and a TCH, based on age, body mass index, and American Society of Anesthesiologists class, was completed. Groups were compared by length of stay (LOS), 90-day emergency department visits, 90-day readmissions, reoperations, and mortality. Qualitative: Based on the Theoretical Domains Framework, seven prospective semistructured interviews were performed. Interview transcripts were coded and belief statements were generated and summarized by two reviewers. Discrepancies were resolved by a third reviewer.ResultsQuantitative: The average LOS for the SCH was significantly shorter than that for the TCH (2.0 ± 0.2 vs. 3.6 ± 2.7 days; p &lt; 0.001), a difference that persisted following a subgroup analysis of ASA I/II patients (2.0 ± 0.2 vs. 3.2 ± 2.2; p &lt; 0.001). There were no significant differences in other outcomes. Qualitative: The main themes that revolved around a higher case load for physiotherapy at the TCH resulted in patients waiting longer to be mobilized after surgery. Patient disposition also affected their discharge rates.ConclusionGiven the increasing demand for TKA, the SCH represents a viable option to increase capacity, while reducing LOS. Future directions to reduce LOS include addressing social barriers to discharge and patient prioritization for assessment by allied health services. When TKA is performed by the same set of surgeons, the SCH provides quality care with a shorter LOS and comparable with urban hospitals, and this can be attributed to the differences in resource utilization in the two hospital settings.

Published: February 2023

Abstract
There has been growing interest among advanced semiconductor manufacturers in pellicles that can withstand conditions in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) photolithography. The pellicle must have high mechanical toughness, high transparency in EUV radiation, thermal stability, and chemical stability for ionized and atomic hydrogen. For the above expectations, our experience shows that the carbon nanotube (CNT) yields the most promising results due to its outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. We are developing thin, free-standing CNT films for EUV pellicle application using a liquid filtration manufacturing method. This method has the advantage of producing highly uniform films, allowing us to use a variety of CNT types while avoiding the use of harsh chemicals. To advance our hypothesis, we will examine and discuss EUV radiation durability results evaluated with the NewSUBARU synchrotron light facility.
Pulsed laser deposition of β-NaGaO2: significant dependence of sodium fraction, morphology, and phases of the film on deposition position in the plume

Published: February 2023

Abstract
Thin films of β-NaGaO2, a precursor material of β-CuGaO2, were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition. The phase and morphology of these films depended on the deposition position, i.e., the target-substrate distance and distance from the central plume axis. Three phases appeared in the films, namely a Na-deficient and stoichiometric β-NaGaO2, amorphous with a Na fraction with total cations, x
Na, of ∼0.375, and an unidentified phase with x
Na of ∼0.57. These three phases formed four characteristic textures. The variation in phase and morphology is discussed and explained in terms of the spatial distribution of the Na fraction and kinetic energy of ablated particles deposited on the substrate. By using the obtained stoichiometric β-NaGaO2 film, a stoichiometric β-CuGaO2 film was successfully fabricated. Its energy band gap was determined to be 1.64 eV, which is approximately 0.1 eV larger than that previously reported for Cu-deficient β-Cu0.9GaO2−δ

Published: February 2023

Introducción: El diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo neonatal es una condición considerada de urgencia por el grave daño cerebral que induce la falta de hormonas tiroideas al no ser reemplazadas. Objetivo: El presente trabajo tuvo como propósito evaluar la metodología y la aplicación del programa de tamizaje para el diagnóstico de hipotiroidismo neonatal y determinar su incidencia en el Hospital General San Juan de Dios de Guatemala (HGSD). Metodología: Estudio de cohorte, retrospectivo, analizando los resultados de TSH de los neonatos nacidos vivos del 1 de enero al 31 de diciembre del año 2017, que fueron tamizados, utilizando la base de datos del laboratorio del HGSD. El valor de corte de TSH utilizado, fue ≥ 20 µU/ml. El diagnóstico fue confirmado con una segunda medición de TSH, utilizando el mismo valor de corte, iniciando ese mismo día el tratamiento hormonal de reemplazo. Resultados. La incidencia de hipotiroidismo neonatal fue de 1:3,707 recién nacidos y la aplicación del programa de tamizaje fue del 96.1% durante el período de estudio. Conclusiones. La cobertura del programa es buena y comparable con la reportada en otros países. El programa de tamizaje debe contar con personal propio, pues sólo de esta manera, podrá lograrse el 100% de cobertura y acortar el período de tiempo para confirmar el diagnóstico e iniciar el tratamiento.
