From a preventative perspective, leg axis and core stabilization capacities are important for soccer players and alpine skiers; however, due to different sport-specific demands, the role of laterality clearly differs and may result in functional long-term adaptations. The aims of this study are 1) to determine whether there are differences in leg axis and core stability between youth soccer players and alpine skiers and 2) between dominant and non-dominant sides, and 3) to explore the outcomes of applying common sport-specific asymmetry thresholds to these two distinct cohorts. Twenty-one highly trained/national-level soccer players (16.1 years, 95% CI: 15.6, 16.5) and 61 alpine skiers (15.7 years, 95% CI: 15.6, 15.8) participated in this study. Using a marker-based 3D motion capture system, dynamic knee valgus was quantified as the medial knee displacement (MKD) during drop jump landings, and core stability was quantified as the vertical displacement during deadbug bridging exercise (DBBdisplacement). For the analysis of sports and side differences, a repeated-measures multivariate analysis of variance was used. For the interpretation of laterality, coefficients of variation (CV) and common asymmetry thresholds were applied. There were no differences in MKD or DBBdisplacement between soccer players and skiers or between the dominant and non-dominant sides, but there was an interaction effect side*sports for both variables (MKD: p = 0.040, η2p = 0.052; DBBdisplacement: p = 0.025, η2p = 0.061). On average, MKD was larger on the non-dominant side and DBBdisplacement laterality on the dominant side in soccer players, whereas this pattern was reversed in alpine skiers. Despite similar absolute values and asymmetry magnitudes of dynamic knee valgus and deadbug bridging performance in youth soccer players and alpine skiers, the effect on the direction of laterality was opposite even though much less pronounced. This may imply that sport-specific demands and potential laterality advantages should be considered when dealing with asymmetries in athletes.

IntroductionPhenolic phytochemicals are known for antioxidant-mediated pharmacological effects in various diseases (diabetes, cancer, CVDs, obesity, inflammatory and neurodegenerative disorders). However, individual compounds may not exert the same biological potency as in combination with other phytochemicals. Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (Guar), an underutilized semi-arid legume which has been used as a traditional food in Rajasthan (India), is also a source of the important industrial product guar gum. However, studies on its biological activity, like antioxidant, are limited.MethodsWe tested the effect of C. tetragonoloba seed extract to enhance the antioxidant activity of well-known dietary flavonoids (quercetin, kaempferol, luteolin, myricetin, and catechin) and non-flavonoid phenolics (caffeic acid, ellagic acid, taxifolin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), and chlorogenic acid) using DPPH radical scavenging assay. The most synergistic combination was further validated for its cytoprotective and anti-lipid peroxidative effects in in vitro cell culture system, at different concentrations of the extract. LC-MS analysis of purified guar extract was also performed.Results and discussionIn most cases, we observed synergy at lower concentrations of the seed extract (0.5-1 mg/ml). The extract concentration of 0.5 mg/ml enhanced the antioxidant activity of Epigallocatechin gallate (20 µg/ml) by 2.07-folds, implicating its potential to act as an antioxidant activity enhancer. This synergistic seed extract-EGCG combination diminished the oxidative stress nearly by double-fold when compared with individual phytochemical treatments in in vitro cell culture. LC-MS analysis of the purified guar extract revealed some previously unreported metabolites, including catechin hydrate, myricetin-3-galactoside, gossypetin-8-glucoside, and puerarin (daidzein-8-C-glucoside) which possibly explains its antioxidant enhancer effect. The outcomes of this study could be used for development of effective nutraceutical/dietary supplements.

IntroductionThe objective of the research was to analyze the effect of COVID-19 with the predictors of the health belief model (perceived severity, perceived benefits, and cue to action) on the social identity of the consumer and the social identity of the socially responsible food consumption among four generation groups of adults based on the stimulus-organism-response model.MethodsThe study had a quantitative approach explanatory design and a cross-sectional temporal dimension. A total of 834 questionnaires were collected from adults in the metropolitan area of Mexico City, and the data were analyzed through partial least squares structural equation modeling.ResultsThe results indicated that perceived severity, perceived benefits, and cue to action positively and significantly influenced social identity, and this positively and significantly influenced socially responsible consumption. In addition, identity was found to be a variable that had a total mediation effect between perceived severity and socially responsible consumption, perceived benefits and socially responsible consumption, and cue to action and socially responsible consumption. While the perceived barriers only had a direct effect on socially responsible consumption. Likewise, a difference was found between generation X and Y, generation Z and X, and generation Y and X in the relationship between cue to action, belonging to a social network group, and social identity.DiscussionIn this sense, these results allow us to consider that when environmental stimuli (predictors of the health belief model) affect the organism (social identity), it will respond with socially responsible food consumption. This type of consumption is explained through social identity and is modified according to the age of the consumers due to the effects of social networks.

BackgroundPersonality’s investigation has always been characterized as a central area of research for psychology, such that it was established in the 1920s as an autonomous scientific-disciplinary field. Identifying and observing the people’s typical ways of “being in the world” has made possible to define the predictability of a pattern of behavioral responses related both to the possession of distinct characteristics of the agent subject and to specific environmental situations. In the actual scientific landscape, there is a strand of research that makes a description of personality through methodologies and indicators not usually used by psychology, but scientifically validated through standardized procedures. Such studies seem to be significantly increasing and reflect the emerging need to have to consider the human being in his or her complexity, whose existential and personal dimensions can no longer be traced to classification systems that are divorced from the epochal reference.ObjectiveIn this review, attention is focused on highlighting publications in the literature that have included the use of unconventional methods in the study of nonpathological personality, based on the Big Five theoretical reference model. To better understand human nature, an alternative based on evolutionary and interpersonal theory is presented.DesignOnline databases were used to identify papers published 2011–2022, from which we selected 18 publications from different resources, selected according to criteria established in advance and described in the text. A flow chart and a summary table of the articles consulted have been created.ResultsThe selected studies were grouped according to the particular method of investigation or description of personality used. Four broad thematic categories were identified: bodily and behavioral element; semantic analysis of the self-descriptions provided; integrated-type theoretical background; and use of machine learning methods. All articles refer to trait theory as the prevailing epistemological background.ConclusionThis review is presented as an initial attempt to survey the production in the literature with respect to the topic and its main purpose was to highlight how the use of observational models based on aspects previously considered as scientifically uninformative (body, linguistic expression, environment) with respect to personality analysis proves to be a valuable resource for drawing up more complete personality profiles that are able to capture more of the complexity of the person. What has emerged is a rapidly expanding field of study.
The effect of family supportive supervisor behavior on teachers’ innovative behavior and thriving at work: A moderated mediation model
Authors: Li Qiu , Liu Minghui 
Published: March 2023

ObjectiveIn today’s society, teachers are increasingly focused on the harmonious development of work and family. However, few studies have discussed family supportive supervisor behavior to promote teachers’ innovative behaviors and thriving at work. The study explores the mechanisms of family-supportive supervisor behaviors on teachers’ innovative behaviors and thriving at work.MethodsIn this study, we adopt a questionnaire-based follow-up study of 409 career married teachers in Northwest China at three time points based on the Work-home Resource Model and Resource Conservation Theory.ResultsThe results indicate that family supportive supervisor behavior has a significant positive predictive effect on teachers’ innovative behavior and thriving at work, and work-family enrichment mediates between this relationship. In addition, proactive personality moderates the relationship between family-supportive supervisor behavior and work-family enrichment and the mediating role of work-family enrichment.ConclusionPrior research has focused more on the impact of job characteristics within the work domain on work innovation behavior and thriving at work, and some studies have explored the impact of family-level factors on teacher behavior, but more often than not, they have been described based on a conflict perspective. This paper explores the positive impact of family-supportive supervisor behavior on teachers’ innovative behaviors and thriving at work from a resource flow perspective and identifies its potential boundary conditions. This study extends theoretical research on family-work relationships while providing new grounding and research perspectives for improving teacher work and family enrichment.
Teachers’ post-pandemic outlook on the role of Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge in coping with burnout under adverse conditions: How a job demand transformed into a job resource
Authors: Rastegar Negar , Rahimi Mehrak 
Published: March 2023

IntroductionThe sudden change of instructional mode from face-to-face to online teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic forced teachers to develop their ICT skills and knowledge to cope with newly imposed job pressures. The imbalance between job demands and resources in this context led to teachers’ severe burnout. This retrospective study utilized a mixed methods approach to examine teachers’ coping mechanisms, Technological and Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK), and job burnout amid the COVID-19 pandemic.MethodsData were gathered from 307 teachers on their experience of emergency remote teaching (ERT) at the time they returned to school in the Spring of 2022. Structural Equation Modeling was used to investigate the mediating role of TPACK in the relationship between coping strategies and burnout.ResultsThe results revealed direct effects in the pathways of avoidant, active positive, and evasive coping to burnout highlighting the role of avoidant strategies in harming teachers’ well-being and problem-focused strategies in promoting teachers’ mental health. Also, indirect effects of active positive coping to burnout through TPACK, as a constructive approach to fighting back the crisis, were verified. Further, the direct effect of TPACK on burnout as a hindrance was significant, showing that higher levels of TPACK guaranteed lower job burnout and emotional drain. Analyzing interviews with 31 teachers revealed that TPACK functioned as a stressor at the outset of the pandemic and a resource for overcoming the strain and resolving the challenges in the midst of the crisis till schools reopened.DiscussionThe findings underscore the significant role of teachers’ updated knowledge base in reducing their job pressure and taking proper decisions to cope well with unforeseen circumstances. The study has practical implications for policymakers, teacher educators, and school administrators to pay immediate attention to collective wisdom, organizational support, and technological infrastructures for improving teachers’ well-being and professional success.

IntroductionTo unearth superior countermeasures that improve psychological health and upgrade the quality of employment for medical students in China in post-epidemic era, this study was designed to determine the possible factors affecting psychological status and future career choice of this population.MethodsA cross-sectional observational study was carried out. Depression Anxiety Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) were applied to measure psychological state. Chi-square and logistic regression analyses were adopted to filtrate related factors for psychological health and employment intention.ResultsA total of 936 medical students, including 522 from eastern universities and 414 from western universities, were enrolled in the study. Anxiety among students in China's western universities was higher than that in China's eastern universities (30.4% vs. 22.0%), but no differences in the occurrences of stress (11.4% vs. 13.4%), depression (28.7% vs. 24.5%) and insomnia (30.7% vs. 25.7%). Grades, academic ranking, household income, attitudes about COVID-19 were associated with the occurrence of psychological problems. In addition, major, education level, academic ranking, family income, and clinical experience may affect the choice of future employment location and employment income. Notably, household income affected by COVID-19 and the perception of epidemic prevention and control resulted in changes in future employment region and income. COVID-19 can lead medical students with psychological problems to have a negative attitude toward future employment. Encouragingly, multiple activities, namely, proactive consideration of employment, taking part in career planning training lectures and timely adjustment of career planning, were beneficial to the professional identity of medical students.ConclusionThis study suggests that medical student psychology is influenced by COVID-19 and academic and financial pressures; actively coping with COVID-19 and making career planning in advance will contribute to optimizing future employment. Our findings provide a potent guideline for relevant departments to accurately adjust job deployment and for medical students to actively choose a career in the future.

IntroductionSeveral Proficiency Test (PT) or External Quality Assessment (EQA) schemes are currently available for assessing the ability of laboratories to detect and characterize enteropathogenic bacteria, but they are usually targeting one sector, covering either public health, food safety or animal health. In addition to sector-specific PTs/EQAs for detection, cross-sectoral panels would be useful for assessment of the capacity to detect and characterize foodborne pathogens in a One Health (OH) perspective and further improving food safety and interpretation of cross-sectoral surveillance data. The aims of the study were to assess the cross-sectoral capability of European public health, animal health and food safety laboratories to detect, characterize and notify findings of the foodborne pathogens Campylobacter spp., Salmonella spp. and Yersinia enterocolitica, and to develop recommendations for future cross-sectoral PTs and EQAs within OH. The PT/EQA scheme developed within this study consisted of a test panel of five samples, designed to represent a theoretical outbreak scenario.MethodsA total of 15 laboratories from animal health, public health and food safety sectors were enrolled in eight countries: Denmark, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. The laboratories analyzed the samples according to the methods used in the laboratory and reported the target organisms at species level, and if applicable, serovar for Salmonella and bioserotype for Yersinia.ResultsAll 15 laboratories analyzed the samples for Salmonella, 13 for Campylobacter and 11 for Yersinia. Analytical errors were predominately false negative results. One sample (S. Stockholm and Y. enterocolitica O:3/BT4) with lower concentrations of target organisms was especially challenging, resulting in six out of seven false negative results. These findings were associated with laboratories using smaller sample sizes and not using enrichment methods. Detection of Salmonella was most commonly mandatory to notify within the three sectors in the eight countries participating in the pilot whereas findings of Campylobacter and Y. enterocolitica were notifiable from human samples, but less commonly from animal and food samples.DiscussionThe results of the pilot PT/EQA conducted in this study confirmed the possibility to apply a cross-sectoral approach for assessment of the joint OH capacity to detect and characterize foodborne pathogens.
Association between lifestyle behaviors and health-related quality of life among primary health care physicians in China: A cross-sectional study
Authors: Lin Yisha , Huang Yuankai , Xi Xiaoyu 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundPrimary health care (PHC) serves as the gatekeeper of health system and PHC physicians take on significant obligations to provide health care services in the pursuit of Universal Health Coverage (UHC). PHC physicians' health-related quality of life (HRQoL) can have a strong impact on patients, physicians and the health care system. Lifestyle interventions are found to be effective to improve HRQoL. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between lifestyle behaviors and HRQoL among PHC physicians, so that lifestyle intervention can be tailored by policy makers for health promotion.MethodsA survey covering 31 provinces and administrative regions in China was conducted in 2020 using a stratified sampling strategy. Data on sociodemographic characteristics lifestyle behaviors and HRQoL were collected by a self-administered questionnaire. HRQoL was measured through EuroQol-five dimension-five level (EQ-5D-5L) instrument. A Tobit regression model was performed to evaluate the association between sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors and HRQoL.ResultsAmong 894 PHC physicians who completed the survey, Anxiety/Depression (AD) was the dimension with the most problems reported (18.1%). Regular daily routine (β = 0.025, 95%CI 0.004 to 0.045) and good sleep quality (β = 0.049, 95% CI = 0.029 to 0.069) were protective factors for HRQoL, while smoking (β = −0.027, 95% CI = −0.079 to −0.003) and frequency of eating breakfast (β = −0.041, 95%CI = −0.079 to −0.003) were negatively associated with HRQoL. Physical activity and alcohol drinking were not significantly associated with HRQoL.ConclusionThese findings suggest that tailored interventions on daily routine, improving sleep quality, and tobacco control among PHC physicians may be effective strategies to improve their HRQoL.

Published: March 2023

ObjectiveAcute stroke care is a highly complex type of emergency medical service (EMS) involving patient-centered care in a highly unpredictable and stressful environment with the help of several busy providers. The ability of primary healthcare providers (PHPs) to identify stroke onset early and further manage referrals to higher-level hospitals becomes critical.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional survey about stroke knowledge and awareness among PHPs in China from September 2021 to December 2021. A total of 289 PHPs were divided into two groups, the stroke treatment window (STW) Aware group vs. the STW Unaware group according to their knowledge on the time window for acute ischemic stroke (AIS) management. Logistic regression analysis was performed to explore the predictors associated with knowledge of the time window for acute stroke management.ResultsOf 289 PHPs surveyed during the study period, 115 (39.7%) participants were aware of the time window for stroke management and were in the STW Aware group, while 174 (60.2%) were in the STW Unaware group. Forty percent of PHPs in the STW Aware group were familiar with the secondary stroke prevention goal of &lt;140/90 mmHg, compared with 27.01% in the Unaware group (P &lt; 0.05). PHPs were not sufficiently aware of loss of consciousness also a symptom of stroke in two groups (75.7 vs. 62.6%, P &lt; 0.05). A higher proportion of PHPs in the STW Aware group believed that thrombolysis was an effective treatment for AIS (96.5 vs. 79.9%, P &lt; 0.01). Endovascular therapy is indicated for AIS was perceived by a higher proportion of PHPs in the STW Aware group than that in the Unaware group (62.6 vs. 6.9%, P &lt; 0.01). Eighty percent of PHPs in the STW Aware group reported attending training on stroke management compared with 58.1% in the Unaware group (P &lt; 0.01). Logistic regression results showed that the predictors of stroke knowledge and awareness among PHPs included sex (OR: 2.3, 95% CI, 1.2–4.6), received training (OR: 2.9, 95% CI, 1.60–5.1), and times of training per year (OR: 0.70, 95% CI, 0.6–0.9).ConclusionsPHPs present with a mild to moderate level of stroke management knowledge in northwest China. Strategies to help increase stroke knowledge and awareness among PHPs should be considered in order to help improve the stroke related health service system.
