A toxic mix: Explicit and implicit narcissism and counterproductive work behavior
Authors: Fatfouta Ramzi , Schwarzinger Dominik 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA large body of research has documented a positive link between narcissism and counterproductive work behavior (CWB). However, previous studies focused exclusively on explicit (self‐reported) narcissism, thereby neglecting the role of implicit (indirectly measured) narcissism. Using a sample of 504 employees, the present investigation aimed for an integrative perspective. Applying a job‐related narcissism questionnaire along with an implicit association measure of narcissism, for the first time, we address the question whether and to what extent explicit and implicit narcissism jointly influence CWB. Specifically, we show that the most toxic combination of narcissism (i.e., high explicit and high implicit narcissism) predicts the highest CWB levels. Explicit narcissism was positively related to CWB, and this relationship was stronger among individuals who were also high (vs. low) on implicit narcissism. Results suggest that implicit narcissism is an important, albeit hitherto neglected, determinant of CWB. The present work provides novel and valuable evidence on the role of implicit personality, which is crucial for understanding deviant behavior in the workplace.

SummaryBackgroundNon‐alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can adversely affect health‐related quality of life (HRQoL).AimsThis double‐blind, placebo‐controlled, phase 2 trial aimed to report the effects of the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist, semaglutide, on HRQoL in patients with NASH as a secondary endpoint.MethodsAdults with biopsy‐proven NASH and stage 1–3 fibrosis were randomised (3:3:3:1:1:1) to once‐daily subcutaneous semaglutide 0.1, 0.2 or 0.4 mg, or placebo, for 72 weeks. Patients were invited to complete the Short Form‐36 version 2.0 questionnaire at weeks 0, 28, 52 and 72.ResultsBetween January 2017 and September 2018, 320 patients were enrolled. At 72 weeks, semaglutide was associated with significant improvements in physical component summary (PCS) score (estimated treatment difference [ETD] 4.26; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.96–6.55; p = 0.0003); bodily pain (ETD 5.07; 95% CI: 2.15–7.99; p = 0.0007); physical functioning (ETD 3.51; 95% CI: 1.16–5.86; p = 0.0034); role limitations due to physical health problems (ETD 2.80; 95% CI: 0.28–5.33; p = 0.0294); social functioning (ETD 3.16; 95% CI: 0.53–5.78; p = 0.0183) and vitality (ETD 4.47; 95% CI: 1.63–7.32; p = 0.0021). There was no significant difference in the mental component summary score (ETD 1.02; 95% CI: −1.59 to 3.62; p = 0.4441). After 72 weeks, improvements in PCS scores were significantly greater in patients (pooled semaglutide and placebo) with NASH resolution than without (p = 0.014).ConclusionsTreatment with semaglutide is associated with improvements in the physical components of HRQoL in patients with biopsy‐proven NASH and fibrosis compared with placebo.

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe selection of a non‐shattering phenotype is a pivotal change in the process of rice domestication. However, current research is heavily restricted by the preservation conditions of macro‐plant remains in early and middle Neolithic sites, as very limited well‐preserved rice spikelet bases could be retrieved. We present a non‐destructive method based on micro‐computed tomographic (CT) scanning, which could provide detailed visualization of the internal structures of charred spikelet bases and efficiently discriminate the shattering and non‐shattering phenotypes of rice spikelet bases according to the abundance of fusiform echinate phytoliths. It could be widely applied in different contexts, especially those poorly preserved specimens and tempers in pottery sherds, greatly improving our knowledge of rice domestication.

Published: June 2023

AbstractIron has been one of the most critical technotraditions that had lasting impact on social formation throughout the Iron Age and historical period. Iron was used in warfare and subsistence economy. Our knowledge on ancient iron smelting and working have generally been derived from ethnography and ethnohistory, which is by all means, time, region, and raw material specific. Scientific analyses of ancient iron have contributed in understanding this heritage to a respectable extent, yet a comprehensive knowledge about the evolution of iron making through time and space in India eludes us. In this work, a comparative study of iron artefacts from two Iron Age/Megalithic‐Early Historic sites of Tamil Nadu, south India, that is, Mangadu (burial site) and Ambal (habitation‐cum‐burial site) is carried out to understand the iron thermal‐processing capabilities. The retrieved artefacts were examined using X‐ray fluorescence (XRF) for elemental composition. The imaging of the artefacts was done using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD), and Optical Microscopy (OM). In addition, phase identification was performed using X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and Energy Dispersive X‐ray Spectroscopy (EDS). Combination of these analyses illustrates that inhabitants of Mangadu and Ambal were aware of the iron alloy manufacturing/processing techniques such as forging and hammering.
The mother of violations: Motherhood as the primary expectation of women
Authors: Szekeres Hanna , Halperin Eran , Saguy Tamar 
Published: June 2023

AbstractRecent conservative political rhetoric support women having careers but emphasize that this should not be an obstacle to having children. We propose that this sentiment reflects the hierarchy of gender norms in today's society whereby motherhood is the ultimate role that women are expected to fulfil and denying such role evokes social penalties, above and beyond other prescribed gender norms. Across five experiments (N = 738), we predicted and found that voluntarily childless women elicit more negative reactions than mothers, and importantly, also more than women violating other gender norms in the realm of occupation (Study 1), power (Study 2) or sexual orientation (Study 3). We demonstrate that these patterns cannot be explained merely by a perceived lack of communal qualities of the non‐mothers (Study 4) and also show that involuntary childless women do not receive the same negativity (Study 5). We discuss this, often neglected, gender bias and its resistance to social change.

Authors: Zhou Hang , Yao Jingjing , Zhao Zuoquan , Lu Jie 
Published: June 2023

AbstractA series of benzylaminoimidazoline derivatives was synthesized and evaluated for norepinephrine transporter (NET) targeting. Among them, N‐(3‐iodobenzyl)‐4,5‐dihydro‐1H‐imidazol‐2‐amine (Compound 9) displayed the highest affinity for NET (IC50 = 5.65 ± 0.97 μM). The corresponding radiotracer [125I]9 was further prepared by copper‐mediated radioiodination and evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. The cellular uptake results suggested that [125I]9 was specifically taken up by the NET‐expressing SK‐N‐SH cell line. Biodistribution studies showed that [125I]9 accumulated in the heart (5.54 ± 1.24 %ID/g at 5 min p.i. and 0.79 ± 0.08 %ID/g at 2 h p.i.) and adrenal gland (14.83 ± 3.47 %ID/g at 5 min p.i. and 3.87 ± 0.24 %ID/g at 2 h p.i.). The uptake in the heart and adrenal gland could be significantly inhibited by preinjection of desipramine (DMI). These results indicated that the benzylaminoimidazoline derivatives retained affinity for NET, which could provide structure–activity relationship data for further studies.

AbstractDespite compelling evidence that some patients with a psychiatric diagnosis could benefit from genetic assessment, genetic testing for psychiatric patients is underutilized. Few studies have reported psychiatric genetics training for mental health specialists, and such research is especially lacking in Spain. We aimed to gather the opinions of Spanish mental health residents, including resident intern nurses (RINs), doctors (RIDs) and psychologists (RIPs). A short survey was prepared by an expert team and distributed to all mental health residency centers in Spain during the first semester of 2021. Of the 2028 residents, 18% responded. Participants were mainly females (71%), in their first year of residency (37%) and within the 27–31‐year age range. While participants received little theoretical (13.4%) and practical (4.6%) training on average, RIDs had the most affirmative responses. Notably, RINs and RIDs were interested in genetics during residency (>40%) and strongly believed (85.0%) that genetics training using both theoretical and practical methodologies should be incorporated into residency training. However, RIPs were less interested (20%), and only 60% believed that genetics training should be incorporated. Spanish mental health residents, although interested in genetics in psychiatry, receive little training on this topic. They strongly believe that genetics training using theoretical and practical methodologies should be incorporated.

AbstractBackgroundTo explore the relationship of peroxiredoxin6 (PRDX6) tag‐single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with susceptibility to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in the Chinese Han population.MethodsA total of 502 patients with COPD and 481 healthy controls from nine hospitals in China were enrolled in this study. The PRDX6 tag‐SNPs were identified by linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis in 30 healthy controls. The associations between identified tag‐SNPs and COPD risk were further evaluated.ResultsFour PRDX6 tag‐SNPs, including rs7314, rs34619706, rs33951697, and rs4382766, were identified in 30 healthy controls. Moreover, in the allele model, there was no statistical difference in locus in PRDX6 between patients with COPD and healthy controls (P > 0.05). However, in the recessive model, rs33951697 locus in PRDX6 gene carrier with T/T had an increased risk of COPD (odds ratio [OR] = 2.59, 95% CI = 1.06–6.33, P = 0.028). Furthermore, in the relevance analysis between genetic polymorphisms and smoking behavior and lung function indexes, we found that the number of smoked cigarettes per day and FEV1/FVC differed among different genotypes of PRDX6, rs4382766, and rs7314 (P < 0.05).ConclusionPRDX6 gene polymorphism with smoking status may contribute to the etiology of COPD in the Chinese Han population.

AbstractBackgroundOutcome data for the great majority of liver normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) cases derive from the strict confines of clinical trials. Detailed specifics regarding the intraoperative and early postoperative impact of NMP on reperfusion injury and its sequelae during real‐world use of this emerging technology remain largely unavailable.MethodsWe analyzed transplants performed in a 3‐month pilot period during which surgeons invoked commercial NMP at their discretion. Living donor, multi‐organ, and hypothermic machine perfusion transplants were excluded.ResultsIntraoperatively, NMP (n = 24) compared to static cold storage (n = 25) recipients required less peri‐reperfusion bolus epinephrine (0 vs. 60 μg; p < .001) and post‐reperfusion fresh frozen plasma (2.5 vs. 7.0 units; p = .0069), platelets (.0 vs. 2.0 units; p = .042), and hemostatic agents (0% vs. 24%; p = .010). Time from incision to venous reperfusion did not differ (3.6 vs. 3.1; p = .095) but time from venous reperfusion to surgery end was shorter for NMP recipients (2.3 vs. 2.8 h; p = .0045). Postoperatively, NMP recipients required fewer red blood cell (1.0 vs. 4.0 units; p = .0083) and fresh frozen plasma (4.0 vs. 7.0 units; p = .046) transfusions, had shorter intensive care unit stays (33.5 vs. 58.4 h; p = .012), and experienced less early allograft dysfunction according to both the Model for Early Allograft Function Score (3.4 vs. 5.0; p = .0047) and peak AST within 10 days of transplant (619 vs. 1,181 U/L; p = .036). Liver acceptance for the corresponding recipient was conditional on NMP use for 63% (15/24) of cases.ConclusionReal‐world NMP use was associated with significantly lower intensity of reperfusion injury and intraoperative and postoperative care that may translate into patient benefit.
Spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 (SCA11): An update
Authors: Gong Ziwei , Lei Lifang 
Published: June 2023

AbstractSpinocerebellar ataxias, also called autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxias, are a group of neurological genetic diseases characterised by chronic, progressive cerebellar ataxia. The clinical hallmark of spinocerebellar ataxia is the loss of balance and coordination, accompanied by slurred speech. Spinocerebellar ataxia type 11 is a rare subtype of spinocerebellar ataxia caused by mutations in the tau tubulin kinase 2 gene. Patients with spinocerebellar ataxia are clinically characterised by slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia, trunk and limb ataxia, and eye movement abnormalities with occasional pyramidal features. Peripheral neuropathy and dystonia are rare. According to the literature, only nine families affected with spinocerebellar ataxia have been reported worldwide. Herein, a series of spinocerebellar ataxia cases are discussed in detail to determine the potential research direction of this dysfunction, including its epidemiology, clinical features, genetic characteristics, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, pathogenic mechanisms, treatment, prognosis, follow‐up, genetic counselling and future perspectives, and to improve the overall understanding of spinocerebellar ataxia among clinicians, researchers and patients.

Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectiveUnderstanding how positive parenting is conveyed across generations informs early childhood policy.BackgroundThe extant literature has focused on how a mother's relationship with her own mother sets the stage for her parenting of her own children, yet less understood is how a mother's relationship with her father supports her responsive parenting and potentially informs her child's attachment security.MethodWe analyzed data from 6,400 mothers of singleton infants participating in the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, Birth Cohort. We examined whether a mother's closeness with her own mother and father (Generation 1) related to her responsiveness and child attachment security (Generation 3) at age 24 months.ResultsMost mothers reported being extremely (25.7%) or at least quite close (25.1%) with both their mother and father. How close mothers felt to their own parents was not associated with their observed level of responsiveness to their toddler or their toddler's attachment security, adjusting for sociodemographic covariates. Maternal education was the strongest predictor of responsiveness and attachment security.ConclusionMaternal education is strongly related to responsiveness, and to a lesser extent, child attachment security, in toddlerhood.Implications.Programs aimed at addressing the challenges of caregiving may overcome the limitations of lower education status.
Experimental and theoretical framework for illustrating the dependency of fracture toughness with tensile, bending, and compression loading in asphaltic samples
Authors: Gu Xiaoyong , Cheng Tan , Zhang Fengjian , Aliha M. R. M. 
Published: June 2023

AbstractOpening mode fracture behavior of asphalt mixture is studied experimentally and theoretically using three full disk‐shaped specimens, namely, edge‐notched disk bend (ENDB), disk‐shaped compact tension (DCT), and center‐cracked Brazilian disk (CCBD). While the ENDB sample is subjected to pure bending, the BD and DCT specimens are loaded by diametral compression and pin loading tension, respectively. The experimental results showed the noticeable role of loading type on the cracking resistance of asphaltic mixtures such that the specimen loaded in diametral compression showed significantly smaller fracture toughness than the DCT specimen (that is loaded under tension). TheKIcresults determined from the ENDB also lie between theKIcof DCT and CCBD testing methods. The discrepancies observed between the experimental results of the three specimen types were related to different signs and magnitudes ofT‐stress in these test samples. Accordingly, by taking into account the effect of such stress term via employing modified maximum normal strain theory, the mode I test data were predicted theoretically. Finally, the test data obtained from the CCBD and DCT samples were estimated in terms of theKIcof the ENDB specimen (as the reference sample).

AbstractAn excellent anticorrosion Mg–Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) composite coating was successfully fabricated on LA43M magnesium alloy substrates via an in situ steam coating (SC) process and a subsequent hydrothermal treatment at different temperatures. The microstructure, composition and phase formation of the composite coatings were studied via X‐ray diffractometer, energy disperse spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscope, respectively. The corrosion resistance of composite coatings was further investigated using electrochemical measurements and corrosion test. The results showed that LDH/SC composite coating has typical nanosheets microstructure, which effectively seal the defects of SC. As the hydrothermal temperature increases, the thickness and density of nanosheets increases, and the corrosion resistance was significantly improved. Especially, the Mg–Al LDH/SC composite coating prepared at 100°C was the most dense and thickness, and exhibited the optimal and long‐term anticorrosion resistance in 3.5 wt.% NaCl soultion. It has the lowest Icorr (1.767 × 10−8 A/cm2), which decreased by three and two orders of magnitude compared with the bare substrate and SC. Furthermore, it can maintain good chemical stability after immersion in the corrosion medium for 192 h and its hydrogen evolution rate (0.00416 mL·cm−2·h−1) and weight lost rate (0.00266 mg·cm−2·h−1) were the lowest compared with other samples.

Published: June 2023

AbstractFor addressing the issue of low relative density, poor fracture toughness of boron carbide ceramics, carbon nanotubes (CNTs)‐reinforced B4C‐SiC ceramic composite material was prepared via spark plasma sintering (SPS), and the impact of CNTs on the strengthening and toughening of the composite was studied. The evidence revealed that an appropriate amount of CNTs can enhance the discharge effect and improve the compactness. As the CNTs content increased, the flexural strength and fracture toughness took on a tendency to first rise and then drop. After mixing .5 wt.% CNTs, the flexural strength and fracture toughness were 499 MPa and 5.38 MPa·m1/2, which increased by 59.4% and 28.4%, respectively. The transformation of fracture mode, grain refinement, bridging and pulling‐out of CNTs efficiently enhance the mechanical properties.

AbstractOne of the newly light on processes utilized in applications for cleaning water is piezocatalysis. Mechanical vibrations generated through ultrasonication are generally used to separate out the charges in ferroelectric ceramics. The current research presents a novel prospective methodology of ball milling, where it is used as a facile and green technique for water remediation. The movement of the planetary ball mill imparts enough force such that reactive species are produced which are responsible for organic dye degradation. One of the results in the parametric analysis showed that by using 0.30 g of the 0.5Ba(Zr0.2Ti0.8)O3–0.5(Ba0.7Sr0.3)TiO3 (BST–BZT) powder, 62% of the methylene blue (MB) dye was degraded in 60 minutes.
Effect of DC and AC electric fields on crack healing behavior in 8 mol% yttria‐stabilized cubic zirconia polycrystal

Published: June 2023

AbstractThe effect of the flash event (FE) on microcrack healing behavior in 8 mol% yttria‐stabilized zirconia was examined at healing temperatures of 1040 and 1230°C under the direct and alternating (DC and AC) electric fields. The crack healing behavior changed depending on the factors of the electric field, healing temperature, and crack length. Although the crack healing proceeded with the temperature, the healing rate increased with the crack length, suggesting that the external energy stored as crack surface energy would provide a driving force for the crack healing. Although the crack healing occurs even under the static annealing without the electric field, the healing rate was accelerated by FE significantly more under the AC field than under the DC field. The microcracks with a length of ≈20 μm were fully healed at 1230°C only for 10 min by the FE treatment under the AC field, and the flash healing behavior was four times faster than that of the static annealing. These results suggest that the enhanced healing behavior cannot be explained only by thermal effects, and the accelerated diffusivity caused additionally by nonthermal effect under FE might contribute to the enhanced healing behavior, especially in the AC electric field.
