IntroductionPearl millet is a staple cereal grown in the harshest environments of arid and semi-arid regions of Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. It is the primary source of calories for millions of people in these regions because it has better adaptation to harsh environmental conditions and better nutritional traits than many other cereals. By screening the pearl millet inbred germplasm association panel (PMiGAP), we earlier reported the best genotypes with the highest concentration of slowly digestible and resistant starch in their grains.MethodsIn the current study, we tested these 20 top-performing pearl millet hybrids, identified based on starch data, in a randomised block design with three replications at five locations in West Africa, viz. Sadore and Konni (Niger), Bambey (Senegal), Kano (Nigeria), and Bawku (Ghana). Phenotypic variability was assessed for agronomic traits and mineral traits (Fe and Zn).Results and discussionAnalysis of variance demonstrated significant genotypic, environmental, and GEI effects among five testing environments for agronomic traits (days to 50% flowering, panicle length, and grain yield), starch traits (rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, resistant starch, and total starch), and mineral trait (iron and zinc). Starch traits, such as rapidly digestible starch (RDS) and slowly digestible starch (SDS), showed nonsignificant genotypic and environmental interactions but high heritability, indicating the lower environmental influence on these traits in the genotype × testing environments. Genotype stability and mean performance across all the traits were estimated by calculating the multi-trait stability index (MTSI), which showed that genotypes G3 (ICMX207070), G8 (ICMX207160), and G13 (ICMX207184) were the best performing and most stable among the five test environments.

IntroductionWhile increased time spent on social media can be negatively related to one’s overall mental health, social media research often fails to account for what behaviors users are actually engaging in while they are online. The present research helps to address this gap by measuring participants’ active and passive social media behavioral styles and investigates whether and how these two social media behavioral styles are related to depression, anxiety, and stress, and the mediating role of emotion recognition ability in this relationship.MethodsA pre-study (N = 128) tested whether various social media behaviors reliably grouped into active and passive behavioral styles, and a main study (N = 139) tested the relationships between social media use style, emotion recognition, and mental health.ResultsWhile we did not find evidence of a mediating relationship between these variables, results supported that more active social media use was related to more severe anxiety and stress as well as poorer emotion recognition skill, while passive social media use was unrelated to these outcomes.DiscussionThese findings highlight that, beyond objective time spent on social media, future research must consider how users are spending their time online.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the effects of working memory updating training on primary school students' writing ability and performance.MethodsA total of 46 fourth-grade Chinese primary school students were recruited; their performance in the Chinese character N-back training task, the Writing Ability Questionnaire, and a time-limited writing task was assessed.ResultsThe paired-sample t-test revealed that working memory updating training significantly improved the experimental group's working memory level. After training, a repeated measures ANOVA revealed that the experimental group's performance on the Writing Ability Questionnaire improved and was higher than that of the control group. In the time-limited writing task, independent-sample t-tests revealed that the experimental group's writing fluency increased and was higher than that of the control group, while the latter's grammatical accuracy and complexity decreased and were lower than those of the former.ConclusionWorking memory updating training can be used as auxiliary cognitive training to improve primary school students' working memory level, thereby promoting their writing development.

IntroductionTianeptine is approved in some countries to treat depression and anxiety. In addition to its activity on serotonin and glutamate neurotransmission, tianeptine has been proven to be a mu-opioid receptor (MOR) agonist, but only a few preclinical studies have characterized the opioid-like behavioral effects of tianeptine.MethodsIn this study, we tested tianeptine activity on G protein activation using the [S35] GTPγS binding assay in brain tissue from MOR+/+ and MOR−/− mice. Then, to determine whether tianeptine behavioral responses are MOR-dependent, we characterized the analgesic, locomotor, and rewarding responses of tianeptine in MOR+/+ and MOR−/− mice using tail immersion, hot plate, locomotor, and conditioned place preference tests.ResultsUsing the [S35] GTPγS binding assay, we found that tianeptine signaling is mediated by MOR in the brain with properties similar to those of DAMGO (a classic MOR agonist). Furthermore, we found that the MOR is necessary for tianeptine's analgesic (tail immersion and hot plate), locomotor, and rewarding (conditioned place preference) effects. Indeed, these behavioral effects could only be measured in MOR+/+ mice but not in MOR−/− mice. Additionally, chronic administration of tianeptine induced tolerance to its analgesic and hyperlocomotor effects.DiscussionThese findings suggest that tianeptine's opioid-like effects require MOR and that chronic use could lead to tolerance.
Business–nonprofit hybrid organizing: a dynamic approach to balancing benefits and costs

IntroductionEfforts to address complex public health challenges can benefit from cross-sector collaboration, while also fostering growing business sector engagement in promoting health equity. What form business-nonprofit collaboration should take, however, is a difficult question for managers and leaders. Hybrid organizational forms, which combine for-profit and nonprofit elements within a single organization in unconventional ways, offer an innovative and potentially promising approach. Yet, while existing typologies of cross-sector collaboration have identified hybrid forms at one end of a continuum of possible forms of collaboration, these typologies do not differentiate the diversity such hybrid forms may take, and the costs and benefits of these innovative hybrid forms are poorly understood. This leaves managers interested in promoting public health through business-nonprofit hybrid organizing with limited guidance about how to maximize potential merits while mitigating drawbacks.MethodsWe performed a qualitative comparative case study of three examples of business-nonprofit hybrid organizing. Data collection included 113 interviews with representatives from 42 organizations and observation of case study activities. We used thematic analysis within and across cases to characterize the form of hybrid organizing in each case and to examine benefits and costs of different forms for supporting initiatives.ResultsWe identified two hybrid, collaborative forms - Appended and Blended forms. Each form had benefits and costs, the significance of which shifted over time contingent on changing strategic priorities and operating environments. Benefits and costs of particular forms become more or less important for establishing and sustaining initiatives under different conditions, requiring a dynamic view.DiscussionNo particular form of business-nonprofit hybrid organizing is inherently better than another. Optimizing hybrid organizing and ensuring resilient collaborations may mean allowing collaborative forms to evolve. Practitioners can manage tradeoffs between benefits and costs through an ongoing process of assessing the fit between a given collaborative form, strategic priorities, and relevant features of the operating environment. This dynamic view offers important insights for ensuring the resilience of business-nonprofit collaborative efforts to enhance public health.
Review of Jackson Herring’s Early Work on Thermal Convection
Authors: Kerr Robert M. 
Published: May 2023

Jack Herring had three mid-1960s numerical papers on Rayleigh-Bénard thermal convection that might seem primitive by today’s standards, but already encapsulated many of the questions that are still being asked. All of them use severely truncated versions of the incompressible Navier–Stokes–Boussinesq equations with only one, or just a few, horizontal Fourier modes. In the first two papers, 1963 and 1964, the presented results used only one Fourier mode α and three variables. The single mode’s variables are its vertical velocity profile wα(z,t), its temperature profile θα(z,t) and the horizontally uniform vertical profile of the background temperature ψ(z,t). All of the second- and third-order terms are ignored except the convective heat flux wθ¯. The objective was to find asymptotic steady-state solutions. Each paper found evidence for the one-third Nusselt versus Rayleigh scaling of Nu∼Ra1/3, originally derived from Malkus’ maximum flux principle. The 1963 paper uses free-slip upper and lower boundaries, with magnitudes of Nu that are a factor of three larger than the experiments. In the 1964 paper, by introducing no-slip/rigid boundary conditions, the magnitude of Nu dropped to within 20% of the experimental values. Both Nu(Ra) relations are in good agreement with circa-1990 direct numerical simulations (DNS). This dependence upon the boundary condition at the walls suggests that to obtain physically realistic scaling, no-slip boundary conditions are necessary. The third paper is discussed only in terms of what it might have been aiming to accomplish and its relation to the earlier free-slip results.
Hormonal Balance, Photosynthesis, and Redox Reactions in the Leaves of Caragana korshinskii Kom. under Water Deficit

To evaluate the physiological responses of Korshinsk peashrub (Caragana korshinskii Kom.) to water deficit, photosynthetic gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence, and the levels of superoxide anion (O2•−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), malondialdehyde (MDA), antioxidant enzymes, and endogenous hormones in its leaves were investigated under different irrigation strategies during the entire growth period. The results showed that leaf growth-promoting hormones were maintained at a higher level during the stages of leaf expansion and vigorous growth, and zeatin riboside (ZR) and gibberellic acid (GA) gradually decreased with an increase in water deficit. At the leaf-shedding stage, the concentration of abscisic acid (ABA) dramatically increased, and the ratio of ABA to growth-promoting hormones increased to a high level, which indicated that the rate of leaf senescence and shedding was accelerated. At the stages of leaf expansion and vigorous growth, the actual efficiency of photosystem II (PSII) (ΦPSii) was downregulated with an increment in non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) under moderate water deficit. Excess excitation energy was dissipated, and the maximal efficiency of PSII (Fv/Fm) was maintained. However, with progressive water stress, the photo-protective mechanism was inadequate to avoid photo-damage; Fv/Fm was decreased and photosynthesis was subject to non-stomatal inhibition under severe water deficit. At the leaf-shedding stage, non-stomatal factors became the major factors in limiting photosynthesis under moderate and severe water deficits. In addition, the generation of O2•− and H2O2 in the leaves of Caragana was accelerated under moderate and severe water deficits, which caused an enhancement of antioxidant enzyme activities to maintain the oxidation–reduction balance. However, when the protective enzymes were insufficient in eliminating excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS), the activity of catalase (CAT) was reduced at the leaf-shedding stage. Taken all together, Caragana has strong drought resistance at the leaf expansion and vigorous growth stages, but weak drought resistance at the leaf-shedding stage.

BackgroundUnderstanding physicians’ motivation may be essential for policymakers if they are to design policies that cater to physicians’ wellbeing, job retention, and quality of care. However, physicians’ motivation remains an understudied area.AimTo map GPs’ work motivation.Design and settingA cross-sectional analysis using registry and survey data from Denmark.MethodSurvey data were used to measure four types of motivation: extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, user orientation, and public service motivation. These were combined with register data on the characteristics of the GP, practice, and area. Using latent profile analysis, the heterogeneity in GPs’ motivation was explored; the associations between GPs’ motivation and the GP, practice, and area characteristics were estimated using linear regression analyses.ResultsThere was substantial heterogeneity in GPs’ motivations. Five classes of GPs were identified with different work motivations: class 1 ‘it is less about the money’ — probability of class membership 53.2%; class 2 ‘it is about everything’ — 26.5%; class 3 ‘it is about helping others’ — 8.6%; class 4 ‘it is about the work’ — 8.2%; and class 5 ‘it is about the money and the patient’ — 3.5%. Linear regression analyses showed that motivation was associated with GP, practice, and area characteristics to a limited extent only.ConclusionGPs differ in their work motivations. The finding that, for many GPs, ‘it is not all about the money’ indicated that their different motivations should be considered when designing new policies and organisational structures to retain the workforce and ensure a high quality of care.

Pendampingan Kepada Masyarakat Mengenai Kesehatan Hewan Kurban Pada Pelaksanaan Pemotongan Sapi Kurban Idul Adha Tahun 2022 di Kelurahan Gunung Sari Kecamatan Rappocini Makasar
Authors: Adriani Adriani , Asqia Nurul 
Published: May 2023

Penyakit kuku dan mulut (PKM) yang menyerang hewan ternak kembali marak di Indonesia menjelang hari raya Idul Adha tahun 2022. Dampak yang ditimbulkan oleh PKM yaitu gagalnya penyembelihan hewan kurban karena tidak memenuhi standar/syariat dan kerugian pada peternak. Oleh karena itu perlu dilakukan pendampingan kepada masyarakat mengenai kesehatan hewan kurban sebelum proses penyembelihan. Metode yang digunakan meliputi sosialisasi tentang ciri PKM pada hewan ternak dan pengecekan langsung pada hewan kurban (sapi). Hasil pengecekan menunjukkan bahwa sapi kurban bebas dari PKM berdasarkan pengamatan aktivitas, pemeriksaan lesi pada mulut dan kuku. Dengan demikian, sapi-sapi tersebut layak untuk dikurbankan. Melalui kegiatan ini masyarakat diharapkan mudah mengenali ciri hewan yang terpapar PKM dan lebih waspada terhadap PKM.
