The effect of graph complexity and planning on graph writing performance and descriptive strategies
Authors: Golparvar Seyyed Ehsan , Azizsahra Mahsa 
Published: February 2023

AbstractThe impact of task complexity on integrated writing performance is under‐researched. This study purports to investigate the effect of graph complexity and planning time on graph writing performance as well as graph description strategies. Ninety‐six EFL learners of English were assigned into three groups to examine the effect of three planning conditions, that is, pretask planning, within‐task planning, and no planning. Moreover, graph complexity, operationalized as the number of visual chunks in a graph, was the within‐subject variable. In general, there were some benefits of graph complexity for syntactic complexity and some planning benefits for fluency, accuracy, and lexical diversity. However, graph complexity had a negative impact on accuracy, and measures of lexical sophistication were not affected in any condition. On the graph description side, pretask planning and graph complexity had a positive impact on graph description strategies. The theoretical and pedagogical implications of these findings are discussed.
The resurrection of vocational interests in human resources research and practice: Evidence, challenges, and a working model
Authors: Wille Bart , De Fruyt Filip 
Published: February 2023

AbstractA large number of studies conducted over the past two decades reconsidered and supported the validity of vocational interests for predicting a range of important work outcomes. Yet to date, interests remain relatively underused in professional settings, in part because discussions of why, how, and where to use interest assessment tools in an evidence‐based manner are lacking and often incomplete. In this article, we briefly review and summarize the available evidence to then further discuss ways in which interest assessment can support various stages of the human resources (HR) cycle, including recruiting, selecting, retaining, and developing employees. From this overview, a number of challenges and apparent paradoxes are derived when working with interests, which may hinder the effective application of these assessments. Therefore, we propose a new working model that treats interest assessments both as “select‐out” and “select‐in” tools, to identify personal attributes that can either be “must‐haves” for an organization in the short term, but at the same time can represent “unique potential” for that organization in the long term. Throughout the text, we also discuss where additional research is needed to further substantiate the use of interests in the HR cycle.

AbstractThe leeches Whitmania pigra and Hirudo nipponia live in similar environments but have different feeding habits. At present, there are few studies of the foraging mechanism of leeches with different feeding habits. In this study, we first used maze tests to show that these two species of leeches could locate and distinguish their prey through chemosensory activity without mechanical stimulation. However, the two leech species have different foraging behaviors: Individuals of W. pigra move slowly and repeatedly adjust direction through probing and crawling to detect the location of prey (snails), whereas individuals of H. nipponia move quickly, and after determining the location of food (porcine blood), they quickly swim or crawl to the vicinity of their prey. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that there are two types of sensory cilia and pore structures related to mucus secretion in the heads of both leeches. There are two differently sized types of chemoreceptors on the dorsal lip in W. pigra, which may have different functions during foraging, whereas in H. nipponia there is only one type of chemoreceptor, which is small. We detected the chemical components in the natural food of these two leech species by UHPLC–MS. There were 934 metabolites in the body fluid of snails and 751 metabolites in porcine serum; five metabolites unique to the body fluid of snails and to porcine serum were screened as candidate feeding attractants. Of these metabolites, betaine and arginine effectively attracted individuals of W. pigra and H. nipponia, respectively. In summary, leeches with different feeding habits use chemoreceptors to sense external chemical signals when foraging, and there are significant differences between species in foraging behavior, chemoreceptors, and attractants.

AbstractTo suppress heat effects in a high‐power laser system, it has been proposed to use a few composite laser gain media to improve the heat management ability. The surface‐gain structure has the advantages of both slab and thin‐disk configurations, which has huge potential in high‐power laser. For the first time, novel composite laser ceramics with surface‐gain structure have been fabricated by tape casting and sintering technology. The in‐line transmittances of surface‐gain ceramics in 1100 and 400 nm are 83.5% and 79.1%, respectively. According to the laser ablation–coupled plasma mass spectrometry, the diffusion distance of Yb3+is about 150 µm. The laser experiment yields a low repetition rate pulse of 1.9 J with a pump absorption energy of 11 J and an optical‐to‐optical conversion efficiency of 17.2%.

AbstractAims/IntroductionGlucagon, a peptide hormone produced from proglucagon, is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes. Plasma glucagon levels are currently measured by sandwich enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), but the currently used sandwich ELISA cross‐reacts with proglucagon‐derived peptides, thereby providing incorrect results in subjects with elevated plasma proglucagon‐derived peptide levels. We aimed to develop a more broadly reliable ELISA for measuring plasma glucagon levels.Materials and MethodsA new sandwich ELISA was developed using newly generated monoclonal antibodies against glucagon. After its validation, plasma glucagon levels were measured with the new ELISA and the currently used ELISA in subjects who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG) and in outpatients with suspected glucose intolerance. The ELISA results were compared with those from liquid chromatography‐high resolution mass (LC‐HRMS) analysis, which we previously established as the most accurate measuring system.ResultsThe new ELISA has high specificity (<1% cross‐reactivities) and high sensitivity (a lower range of 0.31 pmol/L). Plasma glucagon values in the subjects who underwent laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy and some outpatients with suspected glucose intolerance differed between the new ELISA and the currently used ELISA. These subjects also showed markedly high plasma glicentin levels. Despite the elevated plasma glicentin levels, the new ELISA showed better positive correlation with LC‐HRMS than did the currently used ELISA.ConclusionsThe new ELISA enables more accurate measurement of plasma glucagon than the currently used ELISA, even in subjects with elevated proglucagon‐derived peptide levels. It should be clinically useful in elucidating the pathophysiology of individual diabetic patients.
Recent advances in understanding inflammatory acne: Deciphering the relationship betweenCutibacterium acnesand Th17 inflammatory pathway

Published: February 2023

AbstractAcne vulgaris is a common chronic inflammatory skin disease of the pilosebaceous units. Four factors contribute to acne: hyperseborrhea and dysseborrhea, follicular hyperkeratinisation, skin microbiome dysbiosis and local immuno‐inflammation. Recent key studies have highlighted a better understanding of the important role ofCutibacterium acnes(C. acnes) in the development of acne. Three major findings in the last decade include: (1) the ability ofC. acnesto self‐organize in a biofilm associated with a more virulent activity, (2) the loss of theC. acnesphylotype diversity and (3) the central role of the Th17 pathway in acne inflammation. Indeed, there is a close link betweenC. acnesand the activation of the Th17 immuno‐inflammatory pathway at the initiation of acne development. These mechanisms are directly linked to the loss ofC. acnesphylotype diversity during acne, with a predominance of the pro‐pathogenic phylotype IA1. This specifically contributes to the induction of the Th17‐mediated immuno‐inflammatory response involving skin cells, such as keratinocytes, monocytes and sebocytes. These advancements have led to new insights into the underlying mechanisms which can be harnessed to develop novel treatments and diagnostic biomarkers. A major disadvantage of traditional treatment with topical antibiotics is that they induce cutaneous dysbiosis and antimicrobial resistance. Thus, future treatments would no longer aim to ‘kill’C. acnes, but to maintain the skin microbiota balance allowing for tissue homeostasis, specifically, the restoration ofC. acnesphylotype diversity. Here, we provide an overview of some of the key processes involved in the pathogenesis of acne, with a focus on the prominent role ofC. acnesand the Th17‐inflammatory pathways involved.

AbstractBackgroundAcne is a very common condition. Currently, there are relatively few studies available to help guidance‐based decisions for its long‐term management, especially studies with cosmetic care products. We have developed a skin care product dedicated to adult female acne.ObjectivesEvaluate the efficacy and tolerance of the test product containing Myrtus communis extract and azelaic acid compared with a light moisturizing cream (LCM) in adult females in the acne maintenance phase.MethodsA clinical study was conducted as a Brazilian, multicentre, randomized, investigator‐blinded trial in adult females with clear or almost clear facial acne after anti‐acne treatment. The test group (26 subjects) applied the test product and the comparative product group (27 subjects) applied LCM. Both groups applied the products twice daily on the whole face. Subjects were evaluated every 4 weeks over 16 weeks. Efficacy was evaluated according to acne relapse; Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA); acne lesions counting; AcneQoL questionnaire; Subject Global change Assessment (SGA) of acne severity; and the number of Post‐Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH) and Post‐Inflammatory Erythema (PIE) lesions. Tolerance was assessed according to a 5‐point scale.ResultsOver 16 weeks, the number of acne relapse was more than double in the comparator compared to the test product group (eight subjects vs. three subjects respectively). There was no statistical difference in the evolution of the mean IGA from baseline between the two groups; however, 85% of subjects were assessed as clear or almost clear in the test product group and 67% in the comparative group.ConclusionsThis study demonstrated the effectiveness topical application of the test product compared to LCM on acne severity in the maintenance phase of adult female acne. Efficacy results after 16 weeks suggested a trend to limit acne relapses and a benefit of the test product in maintaining long‐term remission.

AbstractThe diversity of the classes Odontostomatea and Muranotrichea, which contain solely obligate anaerobes, is poorly understood. We studied two populations of Mylestoma sp., one of Saprodinium dentatum (Odontostomatea), two of Muranothrix felix sp. nov., and one of Muranothrix sp. (Muranotrichea) employing live observation, protargol impregnation, scanning electron microscopy, and 18S rRNA gene sequencing. Conspecificity of Mylestoma sp., described here, with a previously described species of this genus cannot be excluded since no species have been studied with modern methods. Phylogenetically, the genus Mylestoma is closely related to the odontostomatid Discomorphella pedroeneasi, although the phylogenetic position of class Odontostomatea itself remains unresolved. The newly described muranotrichean species, Muranothrix felix sp. nov., is morphologically similar to M. gubernata but can be distinguished by its fewer macronuclear nodules and fewer adoral membranelles; moreover, it is clearly distinguished from M. gubernata by its 18S rRNA gene sequence. Another population, designated here as Muranothrix sp., most likely represents a separate species.

Published: February 2023

AbstractBackgroundDiet is a critical component of healthy lifestyle, especially in cardiac rehabilitation. Psychological interventions, as well as mix‐treatment interventions, such as psychological components, appear promising approaches in the adoption and maintenance of a healthy diet in patients with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Given the variety of clinical intervention programmes available, we aimed to determine whether psychological interventions and interventions that incorporate psychological components provide better lifestyle outcomes than traditional care, specifically targeting dietary outcomes, and what types of psychological or mix‐treatment interventions are more likely to benefit patients with CVD.MethodsA systematic literature search was performed using MEDLINE (PubMed), Scopus, Cochrane Library and PsycINFO to identify interventional studies, published from 2012 to 2022, written in English, evaluating psychological and mix‐treatment intervention programmes for dietary outcomes in patients with CVD. In total, 33 intervention studies (n = 5644 patients) were retrieved and analysed using fixed and random effects models.ResultsNo significant effect of the psychological intervention was observed regarding fruit and vegetable intake (Hedge's g = +1.06, p = 0.766), whereas a significant reduction was observed in alcoholic beverage consumption in the intervention group, as compared to the control group (Hedge's g = −7.33, p < 0.001). However, based on both our qualitative and quantitative analyses, psychological and mix‐treatment interventions were more effective than traditional models in dietary modification. Also, the majority of effective interventions were psychological over mixed‐treatment interventions.ConclusionsFindings add to the growing evidence suggesting that specific psychological interventions may be effective approaches in dietary modification for patients with CVD, potentially forming part of public health agenda.

AbstractWe extend the cultural entrepreneurship perspective by investigating how entrepreneurs in deprived contexts gain legitimacy by leveraging proprietary and public places in their entrepreneurial storytelling. Inspired by the sociology of place, we present a longitudinal study of ten new venture journeys over four years in Kasoa, Ghana. We identify three distinct ways places are used in entrepreneurial narratives: projective significance of place, connective significance of place, and authoritative significance of place. We show how impoverished entrepreneurs construct and communicate places in diverse ways, not only as locations, but also as material and symbolic resources that provide legitimacy for their venturing activities. Drawing from our findings, we generate a model of place‐based cultural entrepreneurship and elaborate place as a central resource in cultural entrepreneurship and new venture creation in deprived contexts.
Operationalizing inclusive growth: Can malleable ideas survive metricized governance?
Authors: Hill O'Connor Clementine , Smith Katherine , Hughes Ceri , Meier Petra , Purshouse Robin 
Published: February 2023

AbstractAdvocates of inclusive growth claim it provides policymakers with a means of combining economic success with social inclusivity, making it highly attractive across a wide range of settings. Here, we explore how three UK policy organizations (a devolved national government, a city region combined authority, and a local council) are pursuing inclusive growth goals. Drawing on 51 semistructured interviews, documentary analysis and policy ethnography, we argue that inclusive growth is a classic “chameleonic idea,” strategically imbued with malleable qualities that serve to obscure substantive, unresolved tensions. These characteristics are helpful in achieving alliances, both within policy organizations and between these organizations and their multiple stakeholders. However, these same qualities make inclusive growth challenging to operationalize, especially in governance settings dominated by metrics. The process of representing a malleable idea via a set of metricized indicators involves simplification and stabilization, both of which risk disrupting the fragile coalitions that malleability enables.
Molecular mapping of two recessive genes controlling resistance to bacterial leaf pustule disease in soybean (Glycine max)
Authors: Totade Sumit Prakashrao , Gupta Sudhir Kumar , Manjaya Joy Gilbert 
Published: February 2023

AbstractBacterial leaf pustule (BLP) caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. glycines (Xag) is a serious soybean disease. A BLP resistant genotype ‘TS‐3’ was crossed with a BLP susceptible genotype ‘PK472’, and a segregating F2 mapping population was developed for genetic analysis and mapping. The F2 population segregation pattern in 15:1 susceptible/resistance ratio against Xag inoculum indicated that the resistance to BLP in ‘TS‐3’ was governed by two recessive genes. A total of 12 SSR markers, five SSR markers located on chromosome 2 and seven SSR markers located on chromosome 6 were identified as linked to BLP resistance. One of the resistance loci (r1) was mapped with flanking SSR markers Sat_183 and BARCSOYSSR_02_1613 at a distance of 0.9 and 2.1 cM, respectively. Similarly, SSR markers BARCSOYSSR_06_0024 and BARCSOYSSR_06_0013 flanked the second locus (r2) at distances of 1.5 and 2.1 cM, respectively. The identified two recessive genes imparting resistance to BLP disease and the SSR markers tightly linked to these loci would serve as important genetic and molecular resources to develop BLP resistant genotypes in soybean.

Abstract

Polyploidy and whole genome duplication are major evolutionary drivers in plants. Climate variations during the Pleistocene have influenced distribution and range expansion worldwide. Similar trends have been reported for Cerrado plants, but no attempt has been made to link phylogeography with ploidy and breeding changes. Thus, we aimed to (i) assess ploidy and genome size of Eriotheca estevesiae Carv.‐Sobr., and compare it with E. pubescens (Mart.) Schott & Endl. (Both included into the Eriotheca Stellate Trichome Species Complex – ESTSC). (ii) Subsequently, we investigated their phylogeography to see whether genetic structure and range expansion trends were similar to those previously described for the Cerrado biome. Finally (iii), we discuss whether ESTSC phylogeographic patterns could be associated with geographic parthenogenesis processes.

Common cytogenetic techniques and flow cytometry were used to confirm chromosome number and genome size of E. estevesiae. We used three cpDNA regions to analyse 14 ESTSC Cerrado populations, for which we also obtained ploidy level and breeding information. We investigated haplotype diversity, population structure and tested neutrality, aiming to reconstruct phylogeographic scenarios.

We found three ploidy levels and eight cpDNA haplotypes in ESTSC, one shared by most populations. Haplotype and ploidy distribution corroborated that E. pubescens, the widely distributed polyploid and apomictic species, may have originated from northern diploid and probably sexual E. estevesiae.

Matrilinear cpDNA links support the idea that apomixis and polyploidy in ESTSC may have allowed range expansion during the Pleistocene, in a process analogous to the geographic parthenogenesis described elsewhere.

Published: February 2023

BackgroundThis study aimed to develop a self‐assessment scale for care management of people with dementia and examine its reliability and validity.MethodsBased on Bloom's Taxonomy, previous research, and experts' opinions on dementia and care management, a scale consisting of 18 items was developed to assess care managers' attitudes, knowledge, and skills in their management of people with dementia. To examine the scale's reliability and validity, data were collected from 638 care managers. Construct validity using exploratory factor analysis, known‐group validity, and internal consistency reliability of the scale were evaluated.ResultsExploratory factor analysis supported the construct validity with a four‐factor model and explained 59.1% of the total variance. Following were the four factors: Factor I ‘Person centred care’; Factor II ‘Understanding of disease characteristics, treatment and care’; Factor III ‘Understanding of people with dementia and care management according to their characteristics’; and Factor IV ‘Utilization of local resources surrounding people with dementia’. Regarding the known‐group validity, results showed that the group with a qualified chief care manager scored significantly higher than the group without one on Factors I (P = 0.013) and III (P = 0.026). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the 18 items was 0.928.ConclusionsThe findings prove that the scale has acceptable reliability and validity, and can help care managers reflect on their practice. Future research is desirable to measure the validation of change in the scale.
