Published: July 2023

AbstractBackgroundAlthough a composite solution of non‐crosslinked hyaluronic acid is generally considered safe, few studies have investigated its safety after intravascular injection.MethodsMale Sprague–Dawley rats were administered 0.05 mL of a non‐crosslinked hyaluronic acid composite solution via intravascular injection into bilateral inferior epigastric arteries (IEA). Artery samples were obtained at multiple time points for histopathologic analysis. Bilateral abdominal flaps supplied by the IEA were lifted and the same dose of solution was injected into the artery, and flap survival was analyzed.ResultsHistopathologic analysis showed that the non‐crosslinked hyaluronic acid composite solution remained temporarily in the artery lumen following intravascular injection. With continuous blood flow, the filler gradually disintegrated and the artery became recanalized. At 24 h, no filler remained in the lumen. At 7 days after the filler was injected into the IEA feeding the flap, there was no significant difference between the experimental and control groups with respect to flap survival rate.ConclusionsNon‐crosslinked hyaluronic acid composite solution is relatively safe when a minimal volume is administered by intravascular injection. The filler will remain in the vessel for a short time, after which the vessel recanalizes.

AbstractBackgroundTo control the spread of COVID‐19, Iran has adopted rigorous precautionary and preventive measures, particularly for vulnerable groups. Considering the effects of knowledge and attitudes about COVID‐19 on adherence to preventive measures, we examined women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) from pregnancy to 6 weeks postpartum about COVID‐19 during this pandemic.MethodsIn a cross‐sectional study, 7363 women were recruited via an online questionnaire between June 23, 2021 and July 7, 2021. The questionnaire consisted of 27 questions, measuring KAP.ResultsMost of the participants had a good understanding of COVID‐19 (Mean: 7.30 out of 9, standard deviation [SD]: 1.27), but the knowledge of the disease's main symptoms and modes of transmission was at the lowest levels. The mean attitudes score was 31.47 out of 50 (SD: 7.70). The participants had good practices against COVID‐19 with a mean score of 35.48 out of 40 (SD: 3.94). To reduce anxiety and fear during the pandemic, half of our participants strongly emphasized the role of family emotional support. Income status and educational levels were the most significant variables influencing KAP (p‐value ≤0.001). A correlation was found between knowledge and practice scores (r = 0.205, p‐value = 0.001).ConclusionOur findings may serve to formulate awareness‐raising interventions and can be a guide to health policymakers and workers such as obstetricians, clinicians, and midwives for more effective educational communication emphasizing the COVID‐19 symptoms and transmission modes and rendering appropriate counseling, particularly on the importance of emotional family support during the pandemic.
Defusing Digital Disruption Through Creative Accumulation: Technology‐Induced Innovation in Professional Service Firms
Authors: Pemer Frida , Werr Andreas 
Published: July 2023

AbstractHow will digitalization change the future of work in professional service firms (PSFs)? And how can they adapt to new technology and avoid potential disruption? Building on an interview study in the Big Four auditing firms in Sweden, we contribute to research on the future of work in PSFs by unpacking the process through which PSFs expand their domain of expertise towards technology and complement competence‐destroying innovations with competence‐enhancing innovations. They do so by engaging in a process of ‘creative accumulation’ through ‘competence expansion’, consisting of three overlapping sub‐processes – skill acquisition, skill dissemination, and skill integration – and intertwined cycles of service, process, and organizational innovation. We also contribute to the literature on innovation in PSFs by contradicting the view of PSFs as inert and technology‐avert. Instead, we show how they proactively engage in both top‐down and bottom‐up technology‐induced innovation to reshape their work and defuse the threat of digital disruption.
Cash—Walk the line: Examining the impact of payment method on consumers' beer choices
Authors: Otterbring Tobias , Rolschau Kristian , Folwarczny Michał 
Published: July 2023

AbstractPrevious research has revealed that consumers spend less (more) money when paying through cash (credit card). This effect has been attributed to the pain of paying, which is higher (lower) in the case of cash (credit card) payments. We tested the pain‐of‐paying phenomenon at a bar and collected objective data on almost 1000 beer transactions, including information about the size of the beer consumed (small vs. large), the price paid per beer, the style of the beer, and consumers' payment method (cash vs. credit card). Consumers paying with cash (vs. credit card) spent less money per beer and were less inclined to choose large (vs. small) beers, with the payment method effect on money spent mediated by the size of the purchased beer. Moreover, those paying with cash (vs. credit card) were more inclined to choose dark beers, whereas their probability of purchasing India Pale Ales (IPAs) was directionally lower.Practical ApplicationsGiven our findings that payment method seems to influence alcohol consumption, these results should have important implications for bar and restaurant managers as well as for interventions aimed at mitigating consumer overspending on alcoholic beverages. Specifically, our findings align with research suggesting that card payments promote less healthy and more impulsive choices than cash payments. Excessive alcohol consumption is associated with numerous psychophysiological problems, whereas developing social ties, which is common among craft beer enthusiasts, reduces stress levels and improves mental health. Therefore, a reasonable compromise seems to be that policymakers recommend cash payments for alcoholic beverages to maximize social network development while minimizing the risk of excessive alcohol consumption. The result that consumers who paid with cash (vs. credit card) were more prone to purchase dark beers but slightly less likely to buy IPAs warrants further investigation.

Published: July 2023

AbstractPurposeAccess to pediatric surgical care is influenced by multiple factors, including proximity to care and financial resources. There is limited understanding regarding the process by which rural children acquire surgical care. We qualitatively explored rural families’ experiences seeking surgical care for their children at a major children's hospital.MethodsParents or legal guardians ≥18 years of age with children who received general surgical care at a major children's hospital and who lived in rural areas were included. Operative logs from 2020 to 2021 and postoperative clinic visits were used to identify families. Semi‐structured interviews explored rural families’ experiences receiving surgical care. Interviews were inductively and deductively analyzed to create codes and identify thematic domains. Twelve interviews (with 15 individuals) were conducted before thematic saturation was reached.FindingsChildren were predominantly White (92%) and lived a median of 98.3 mi (interquartile range 49.4–147.0 mi) from the hospital. Four thematic domains were identified: (1) Accessing surgical care included difficulties with referral processes and travel/lodging burdens; (2) surgical care processes involved treatment details and provider/hospital expertise; (3) resources for navigating care encompassed families’ employment status, financial burden, and technology use; and (4) social support included family situations, emotions and stress, and coping with diagnoses.ConclusionsRural families experienced difficulties with obtaining referrals, challenges with travel and employment, and the benefits of technology use. These findings can be applied to the development of tools that can ease challenges faced by rural families whose children require surgical care.

AbstractEnvironmental variation is increasingly recognized as an important driver of diversity in marine species despite the lack of physical barriers to dispersal and the presence of pelagic stages in many taxa. A robust understanding of the genomic and ecological processes involved in structuring populations is lacking for most marine species, often hindering management and conservation action. Cunner (Tautogolabrus adspersus) is a temperate reef fish with both pelagic early life‐history stages and strong site‐associated homing as adults; the species is also of interest for use as a cleaner fish in salmonid aquaculture in Atlantic Canada. We aimed to characterize genomic and geographic differentiation of cunner in the Northwest Atlantic. To achieve this, a chromosome‐level genome assembly for cunner was produced and used to characterize spatial population structure throughout Atlantic Canada using whole‐genome sequencing. The genome assembly spanned 0.72 Gbp and 24 chromosomes; whole‐genome sequencing of 803 individuals from 20 locations from Newfoundland to New Jersey identified approximately 11 million genetic variants. Principal component analysis revealed four regional Atlantic Canadian groups. Pairwise FST and selection scans revealed signals of differentiation and selection at discrete genomic regions, including adjacent peaks on chromosome 10 across multiple pairwise comparisons (i.e. FST 0.5–0.75). Redundancy analysis suggested association of environmental variables related to benthic temperature and oxygen range with genomic structure. Results suggest regional scale diversity in this temperate reef fish and can directly inform the collection and translocation of cunner for aquaculture applications and the conservation of wild populations throughout the Northwest Atlantic.
Man‐in‐the‐barrel syndrome‐like symptoms due to cervical infarction caused by transient hypoperfusion in the ascending cervical artery

Published: July 2023

AbstractMan‐in‐the‐barrel syndrome (MIBS) is characterized by weakness in the bilateral upper‐extremity muscles with relatively preserved strength in the face and lower‐extremity muscles. We present a case of MIBS‐like symptoms due to spinal cord infarction caused by transient hypoperfusion in the left ascending cervical artery (ACA) secondary to Stanford type A acute aortic dissection. To identify the ACA as the responsible artery, ischemic change by MRI of the longus colli muscle, which is primarily supplied by the ACA, was effective.

AbstractDance programs promote physical and psychosocial well‐being. However, studies focusing on the experiences of older adults in dancing are limited. This study aims to develop a community dance program (CDP) for older adults at senior activity centers in Singapore, as well as to explore the older adults' and student instructors' experiences of the CDP. A qualitative inquiry of semi‐structured and in‐depth focus group discussions was conducted. In total, 20 older adults and 10 student dance instructors participated in the study. Student instructors who were undergraduate students from a dance society were trained in how to provide step‐by‐step instructions for the older adults. An inductive approach of thematic analysis was undertaken. Three main themes were identified: (i) promotion of physical, cognitive, and psychosocial health with dance; (ii) imagination is power—travel through dance; and (iii) further enhancement of the dance program. The themes highlighted the prominence of CDP in improving memory, physical health, mood, and social interactions—thus mitigating the risk of social isolation. The findings illustrated the benefits of CDP in cultivating intergenerational bonds amongst older adults and student instructors.
RAD51C‐RAD51D interplays with MSH5 and regulates crossover maturation in rice meiosis

Published: July 2023

Summary

Meiotic crossovers ensure accurate chromosome segregation and increase genetic diversity. RAD51C and RAD51D play an early role in facilitating RAD51 during homologous recombination. However, their later function in meiosis is largely unknown in plants.

Here, through targeted disruption of RAD51C and RAD51D, we generated three new mutants and revealed their later meiotic role in crossover maturation.

The rad51c‐3 and rad51d‐4 mutants showed a mixture of bivalents and univalents and no chromosomal entanglements, whereas rad51d‐5 exhibited an intermediate phenotype with reduced chromosomal entanglements and increased bivalent formation compared with knockout alleles. Comparisons of RAD51 loadings and chromosomal entanglements in these single mutants, rad51c‐3 rad51d‐4, rad51c‐3 dmc1a dmc1b, and rad51d‐4 dmc1a dmc1b suggest that the retained level of RAD51 in mutants is required for uncovering their function in crossover formation. Reductions in chiasma frequency and later HEI10 foci in these mutants support that crossover maturation requires RAD51C and RAD51D. Moreover, interaction between RAD51D and MSH5 indicates that RAD51 paralogs may cooperate with MSH5 to ensure accurate Holliday junction processing into crossover products.

This finding of the role of RAD51 paralogs in crossover control may be conserved from mammals to plants and advances our current understanding of these proteins.
Affordances and curvature preference: The case of real objects and spaces
Authors: Djebbara Zakaria , Kalantari Saleh 
Published: July 2023

AbstractChuquichambi and colleagues recently questioned the prevailing belief that a universal human visual preference exists for curved shapes and lines. Their comprehensive meta‐analysis demonstrated that while curvature preference is widespread, it is not universally constant or invariant. By revisiting their dataset, we made an intriguing discovery: a negative relationship between curvature preference and an object's “affordances.” Taking an embodiment perspective into account, we propose an explanation for this phenomenon, suggesting that the diminished curvature preference in objects with abundant affordances can be understood through the lens of embodied cognition.
Predicting Indian electricity exchange‐traded market prices: SARIMA and MLP approach
Authors: Gupta Sonal , Chakrabarty Deepankar , Kumar Rupesh 
Published: July 2023

AbstractThis research investigates the short‐term (ST) forecasting performance of the daily prices of the Indian exchange‐traded day‐ahead (DAM) market, divided into 13 bid areas, each consisting of states with varied fundamentals. Forecasts are built employing SARIMA (seasonal autoregressive integrated moving average) and MLP (multilayer perceptron) methods. Moreover, the robustness and performance of the model is compared using the lowest error and the Diebold–Mariano (DM) test statistic values. The results indicates that the SARIMA model has high prediction accuracy with error values ranging from 1% to 5% with Southern region having the highest error of 4.53% and Northern having the least error of 1.27%. However, validation by the DM test suggests no statistical significant difference between the two models. The power generators, distribution companies, traders, policymakers, strategists and managers could use the findings for effective power management through proper planning.

ObjectiveThere is lack of an internal fixation following resection of a dumbbell tumor by hemi‐laminectomy and facetectomy that achieves adequate stability with less trauma. Unilateral fixation and reconstruction (unilateral pedicle screw and contralateral lamina screw fixation combined with lateral mass reconstruction, UPS + CLS + LM) may be an ideal technique to address this problem. A biomechanical comparison and a case report were designed to evaluate its spinal stability and clinical effect.MethodsSeven fresh‐frozen human subcervical specimens were used for the biomechanical testing. The conditions tested were: (1) intact; (2) injured (single‐level hemi‐laminectomy and facetectomy); (3) unilateral pedicle screw (UPS) fixation; (4) UPS fixation combined with lateral mass (LM) reconstruction (UPS + LM); (5) UPS fixation and contralateral lamina screw fixation (UPS + CLS); (6) UPS + CLS + LM; (7) UPS fixation and contralateral transarticular screw fixation (UPS + CTAS); (8) bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) fixation. Range of motion (ROM) and neutral zone (NZ) were obtained at C5‐C7 segment under eight conditions. In addition, we report the case of a patient with a C7‐T1 dumbbell tumor that was treated by UPS + CLS + LM technique.ResultsExcept left/right lateral bending and right axial rotation (all, p < 0.05), ROM of UPS + CLS + LM condition in other directions was similar to that of BPS condition (all, p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between UPS + CLS + LM and the UPS + CTAS condition in other directions of ROM (all, p > 0.05), except in left/right axial rotation (both, p < 0.05). Compared to UPS + CLS condition, left/right lateral bending ROM of UPS + CLS + LM condition were significantly reduced (both, p < 0.05). UPS + CLS + LM condition significantly reduced ROM in all directions compared to UPS and UPS + LM condition (all, p < 0.05). Similarly, except lateral bending (p < 0.05), there was no difference in NZ in other directions between UPS + CLS + LM and BPS condition (both, p > 0.05). There was no significant difference between UPS + CLS + LM and UPS + CTAS condition in NZ in all directions (all, p > 0.05). Axial rotation NZ of UPS + CLS + LM condition was significantly reduced compared to UPS + CLS condition (p < 0.05). Compared to UPS and UPS + LM condition, NZ of UPS + CLS + LM condition was significantly reduced in all directions (all, p < 0.05). The patient's imaging examination at 3 months postoperatively indicated that the internal fixation did not move and the graft bone was seen with fusion.ConclusionAfter resection of a dumbbell tumor in the cervical spine, UPS + CLS + LM technique is a reliable internal fixation method to provide sufficient immediate stability and promote postoperative bone fusion.

AbstractBlack gram is one of the most important short duration grain legume, which contributes significantly towards nutritional security and environmental sustainability. The virus specific primers confirms the presence of mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV) in representative samples. A total of 27 cultivated and two wild species were found as highly resistant (HR) to MYMIV and validated through molecular markers. The start codon target (SCoT) markers analysis revealed that the SCoT loci, namely, SCoT‐4 (2200 bp), SCot‐9 (1150/ 1200 bp), SCoT‐15 (1150/1100 bp), SCoT‐16 (700 bp), SCoT‐24 (2500 bp), SCoT‐25 (700 bp), SCoT‐33 (900/1000 bp), and SCoT‐34 (600 bp), were found unique, able to distinguish HR and highly susceptible (HS) genotypes. Biochemical characterization and gene expression profiling revealed the higher expression of antioxidants and R‐genes just after pathogen inoculation indicated the activation of defence mechanism in both cultivated and its wild relatives, which modulates the resistant responses in cultivated and wild accessions. These information will be really helpful in accelerating resistance breeding in black gram.

AbstractWinter rapeseed (Brassica rapa L.) can well‐adapt to environmental conditions such as barrenness, water deficit and low temperature in arid and semi‐arid planting regions and is the preferred rapeseed type. In this study, we analysed changes of root system morphology, antioxidant enzyme activity, endogenous hormone contents and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) under control (CK), slight water deficit (SWD, 50–55% of maximum field water capacity), moderate water deficit (MWD, 40–45% of maximum field water capacity) and high water deficit (HWD, 30–35% of maximum field water capacity) conditions. Winter rapeseed experienced taproot elongation, decreased taproot diameter and increased lateral root number, under water deficit stress. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can cause membrane system peroxidation, and antioxidant enzyme activity increases to remove ROS. Changes in jasmonic acid (JA), salicylic acid (SA), cytokinin (CTK), auxin (IAA) and gibberellin (GA) levels promote the absorption of water and minerals by driving changes in the root system architecture to resist water deficit stress. A proteomic analysis has shown that DEPs are involved in energy metabolism, antioxidation response, osmotic regulation, hormone signal transduction, protein metabolism and the stress response, and these proteins are located in the peroxisome, chloroplast, mitochondrion, cell wall, vacuole, cytoplasm, extracellular space and cell membrane. In this study, multiple DEPs (malate dehydrogenase cytoplasmic 1 OS, 14‐3‐3‐like protein GF14 Psi, GA 3‐beta‐dioxygenase, glutathione reductase and jasmonate‐inducible protein) were involved in the root system architecture, revealing the complexity of the root response to water deficit. Significant/extremely significant synergistic relationships were observed between antioxidant enzyme activity and endogenous hormone contents. In conclusion, ROS, endogenous hormones and stress‐related proteins work synergistically to control the root system architecture of winter rapeseed roots in response to water deficit stress.
