Parental accepting and rejecting behaviors: Experiences of South Asian gay and bisexual men in Canada
Authors: Rana Monica , Nath Ronita , Saewyc Elizabeth 
Published: June 2023

AbstractObjectiveThis article explored the coming out experiences of South Asian gay and bisexual young men at home.BackgroundIntersectionality theory suggests that lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth of color may experience double minority stress, due to facing the multiple stressors of sexual minority stigma and racism. Although family support has been identified as important social support for youth, little research has considered how well families support South Asian LGBTQ youth.MethodSemistructured interviews were conducted with 15 gay and bisexual South Asian young men. Data were systematically analyzed according to the principles of interpretive description.ResultsThree overarching themes were identified in the analysis including that (a) parents were very concerned about what others would think about their child's sexual orientation; (b) parents demonstrated a wide range of reactions to their child's disclosure, which most commonly included anger, denial, and avoidance; and (c) there are a lack of resources for South Asian sexual minority youth.ConclusionsThese findings suggest that because of traditional homophobic attitudes espoused by South Asian cultures, South Asian gay and bisexual youth find it very challenging to navigate coming out to their parents. For the same reasons, it makes it very difficult for South Asian parents to accept their child's sexual orientation.ImplicationsIt is important that interventions to increase parental support of South Asian gay and bisexual youth are culturally relevant.

AbstractThe future of life on Earth depends on how the ocean might change, as it plays an important role in mitigating the effects of global warming. The main role is played by phytoplankton. Not only are phytoplankton the base of the oceans' food web, but they also play an important role in the biological carbon pump (BCP), the process of forming organic matter (OM) and transporting it to the deep sea, representing a sink of atmospheric CO2. Lipids are considered important vectors for carbon sequestration. A change in the phytoplankton community composition as a result of ocean warming is expected to affect the BCP. Many predictions indicate a dominance of small at the expense of large phytoplankton. To gain insight into interplay between the phytoplankton community structure, lipid production and degradation, and adverse environmental conditions, we analyzed phytoplankton composition, particulate organic carbon (POC) and its lipid fraction in the northern Adriatic over a period from winter to summer at seven stations with a gradient of trophic conditions. We found that at high salinity and low nutrient content, where nanophytoplankton prevailed over diatoms, the newly fixed carbon is substantially directed toward the synthesis of lipids. Lipids produced by nanophytoplankton, coccolithophores, and phytoflagellates, are more resistant to degradation than those produced by diatoms. The difference in lipid degradability is discussed as a difference in the size of the cell phycosphere. We hypothesize that the lipids of nanophytoplankton are less degradable due to the small phycosphere with a poorer bacterial community and consequently a lower lipid degradation rate compared with diatoms. The lipid chemical composition of the different phytoplankton groups could have a different susceptibility to degradation. Results suggest a successful lipid carbon sink of nanophytoplankton and, thus, a negative feedback on global warming.

AbstractMiscanthus is a perennial forage plant with great potential for high stress tolerance and biomass yield. It has strong adaptability for growing in saline land and avoids competition with grain crops in arable lands. However, little is known about the underlying genetic basis of Miscanthus adaptation to salt stress. Two diploid species of the genus Miscanthus, Miscanthus sinensis and Miscanthus sacchariflorus, were the focus of this study. The transcriptome variations of these varieties and their hybrid were analysed using RNA‐seq technology under salt treatment. The number of differentially expressed genes in M. sinensis was much higher than that in M. sacchariflorus and their hybrid under salt stress, which indicated that M. sacchariflorus and their hybrid require less transcriptional variation. In addition, most salt‐tolerant genes in the enriched salt‐tolerant pathways were induced in the roots of M. sinensis and constitutively highly expressed in the roots of M. sacchariflorus and their hybrid under salt stress. According to this expression pattern of known salt‐tolerant genes, a histone variant gene MsaH2A.W of M. sacchariflorus was mined and consequently proved for the first time that it could enhance the salt tolerance of transgenic Arabidopsis plants. Overall, this study provides valuable genetic resources for studying the underlying genetic basis of salt stress resistance in Miscanthus. Identification of the salt tolerance gene MsaH2A.W can promote the genetic improvement and molecular breeding of salt‐resistant species.

Published: June 2023

ObjectiveThe objective of the study was to estimate the prevalence of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) and describe associations in a representative sample of community‐dwelling older Brazilian adults.BackgroundTMD cause recurrent or chronic pain and dysfunction with substantial impacts on quality of life, but little is known of their occurrence and associated factors among older adults.Materials and MethodsThis was a cross‐sectional study using data from the second wave of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Aging, a nationally representative sample of older Brazilian adults aged 50 or older. The presence of temporomandibular disorder symptoms was measured by the Fonseca Anamnestic Index. Independent variables included sociodemographic characteristics, general health conditions and self‐reported oral health measures. The association between the independent variables and TMD symptoms was evaluated using logistic regression models.ResultsComplete information for the variables of interest was available for 9391 individuals. The overall prevalence of TMD symptoms was 18.0% (95% CI 14.4–22.1). Relative to older adults aged 50–59 those in all age categories had lower odds of TMD symptoms. Individuals with depression, pain, sleep problems and self‐reported poor general health had higher odds of reporting TMD symptoms. None of the oral health measures were related to TMD.ConclusionThe prevalence of TMD symptoms among Brazilian older adults is associated with demographic and general health conditions, but not with dentition status.
Collective future orientation, group‐based emotions, and support for policy
Authors: Chernyak‐Hai Lily , Cohen‐Chen Smadar 
Published: June 2023

AbstractWhile past studies have demonstrated the role of group‐based emotions in intergroup attitudes within the context of intractable conflicts, it is unknown how individual temporal perspectives, namely collective future orientations and political ideology, moderate the relationship between conflict‐related emotions and support for policies. In two exploratory studies, we adopted a functional approach to emotions in conflict and examined whether the associations between the three group‐based emotions of compassion, hope, and hatred and support for conciliatory versus aggressive policies were moderated by individual perceptions of collective future and by political ideology. The results indicate that the way group‐based emotions predict support for policies is moderated by both future and political orientation, such that high collective future orientation reduces the effect of positively‐valenced emotions on support for conciliatory policies, and increases the effect of negatively‐valenced emotions on support for aggressive policies, but only among leftwingers. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of this nuanced link between group‐based emotions and support for policies, moderated by political ideology and collective future orientation.

AbstractAimAdaptation to local environments has been considered a driving force of ecological speciation. Previous phylogenetic studies at higher taxonomic levels have strongly suggested that herbivore diversification occurs through local adaptation to host plants. However, whether similar mechanisms contribute to within‐species diversification remains poorly understood. We reconstructed species expansion processes using the phylogenetic relationships between two Luehdorfia butterflies and their host plants and tested the local adaptation hypothesis during species diversification.LocationJapanese archipelago.TaxaLuehdorfia japonica and L. puziloi.MethodsWe analysed mitochondrial DNA and single‐nucleotide polymorphisms to trace the expansion processes of two species in the Japanese archipelago. We analysed data collected during trans‐host plant feeding experiments to test for local host plant adaptation in L. japonica.ResultsLuehdorfia japonica differentiated 17.0 million years ago (MYA) from a group of four Luehdorfia species in East Asia, and L. puziloi differentiated 13.3 MYA from the remaining three species. We observed several genetic groups in both species, reflecting geographical differences among populations. Some host plants had detrimental effects on the pupation rates of L. japonica, demonstrating the presence of genetic barriers between populations of this species.Main ConclusionsAlthough these two sibling species were influenced by the geological formation of the Japanese archipelago, their present population structures differ greatly: L. japonica expanded its distribution and adapted to local host plants along at least four expansion routes independent of host plant phylogeny, and L. puziloi exhibited a more isolated population structure and was less strongly influenced by gene flow among populations. These results suggest that both isolation by distance and isolation by adaptation have been important drivers resulting in the present‐day population structure of L. japonica. Unidirectional gene flow through local adaptation to the host plant may have played a role in initial speciation.

AbstractSulfur mustard (SM) is a blister‐producing chemical warfare agent which could lead to a cascade of systemic damage, especially severe acute lung injury. Oxidative stress is considered to be vital processes for the SM toxicity mechanism. We previously proved the therapeutic effect of exosomes derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells in promoting the repair of alveolar epithelial barrier and inhibiting apoptosis. However, the key functional components in exosomes and the underlying mechanisms have not been fully elaborated. This research shed light on the function of the key components of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes (HMSCs‐Ex). We noted that HMSCs‐Ex‐derived miR‐199a‐5p played a vital role in reducing pneumonocyte oxidative stress and apoptosis by reducing reactive oxygen species, lipid peroxidation products and increasing the activities of antioxidant enzymes in BEAS‐2B cells and mouse models after exposure to SM for 24 h. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the overexpression of miR‐199a‐5p in HMSCs‐Ex treatment induced a further decrease of Caveolin1 and the activation of the mRNA and protein level of NRF2, HO1 and NQO1, compared with HMSCs‐Ex administration. In summary, miR‐199a‐5p was one of the key molecules in HMSCs‐Ex that attenuated SM‐associated oxidative stress via regulating CAV1/NRF2 signalling pathway.

AbstractAimsThe aim of this study is to investigate whether consumption of sturgeon fillets reduces the oxidative stress marker urinary 8‐hydroxy‐2′‐deoxyguanosine (8OHdG) in top‐ranked Japanese female long‐distance runners.MethodsIn a before‐and‐after study, nine professional long‐distance female athletes ate 100 g/day of sturgeon fillets for 2 weeks. Urinalysis (8OHdG, an oxidative stress marker, and creatinine), blood tests (fatty acids and 25‐hydroxyvitamin D [25OHD]), exercise intensity, subjective fatigue, muscle elasticity, muscle mass, body fat mass, and nutritional intake using image‐based dietary assessment (IBDA) were compared before, immediately after, and 1 month after the intervention.ResultsConsumption of sturgeon fillets suppressed 8OHdG (p < 0.05) in the increased exercise intensity female athletes. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and 25OHD levels in blood increased from before to immediately after and 1 month after the intervention (p < 0.05). IBDA showed that intake of n‐3 fatty acid increased after and one month after the intervention, whereas DHA, imidazole dipeptide and vitamin D intake increased after the intervention (p < 0.05) and then decreased after 1 month (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes in subjective fatigue, muscle elasticity, muscle mass, and body fat.ConclusionsThe results suggest that eating sturgeon fillets during intense training may increase blood levels of EPA, DHA, and 25OHD, which may suppress urinary oxidative stress (8OHdG) in top‐ranked Japanese long‐distance runners.
Reducing Symbolic Compliance: The Presence of Multiple Large Shareholders as an Internal Monitoring Mechanism

Published: June 2023

AbstractWe propose that in a context where corporate ownership is concentrated, the controlling shareholder of a firm tends to symbolically comply to regulatory requirements that aim to protect minority shareholders; yet the presence of multiple large shareholders can serve as an internal monitoring mechanism that can reduce symbolic compliance. We test this argument through examining firm responses to a regulatory requirement regarding independent accounting director appointments in China. Using data on China's listed non‐state‐owned enterprises, we find that the presence of multiple large shareholders decreases the likelihood of symbolic compliance, and this negative effect is stronger when noncontrolling large shareholders have low incentives to collude with the controlling shareholder. We also find that a firm engaging in symbolic compliance tends to have a greater level of tunnelling (by the largest shareholder) and earnings management. Our study contributes to the literature on symbolic management in an institutional setting where ownership is concentrated.

AbstractPhytophthora species have long been reported to cause Phytophthora disease in citrus with symptoms of gummosis, root rot and fruit brown rot. Due to the lack of an up‐to‐date investigation of Phytophthora species currently causing the disease in Northern Vietnam, this study aimed to determine the current Phytophthora species associated with the disease in this region. An extensive collection of diseased samples was conducted in the main citrus‐growing areas in Northern Vietnam from 2021 to 2022. Fifty‐four Phytophthora isolates were obtained and initially divided into four groups based on morphological characteristics, including colony morphology, mycelial growth rate and reproductive structures. Representative Phytophthora isolates from each group were then identified as P. palmivora, P. nicotianae, P. citrophthora and P. mekongensis based on the phylogenetic analysis of ITS and cox1 gene sequences. Pathogenicity tests showed that these four Phytophthora species induce gummosis and brown rot on pomelo, orange and lime, with pomelo being the most susceptible, followed by orange and lime, respectively. Koch's postulates were confirmed. All the Phytophthora species were sensitive to various fungicides including mancozeb, metalaxyl, chlorothalonil, fosetyl aluminium, potassium phosphonate and dimethomorph, of which metalaxyl was the most potent inhibitor of colony growth. Our findings provide updated information on the current Phytophthora species associated with gummosis in citrus in Northern Vietnam, with P. mekongensis being recorded for the first time in this region. This will serve as a reference for Phytophthora studies on citrus in the future and for developing an integrated management strategy for Phytophthora disease.

AbstractBackgroundUrinalysis is necessary for the diagnostic evaluation of chronic kidney disease in cats. Performing cystocentesis is not always feasible, but data comparing urine obtained by cystocentesis in the clinic with voided samples collected at home are lacking in cats.ObjectivesTo compare urinary protein:creatinine ratio (UPC) and urine specific gravity (USG) and to detect clinically relevant changes in proteinuria substage or urine concentration between urine collected at home and in‐clinic by cystocentesis in cats.AnimalsNinety‐two healthy and diseased client‐owned cats.MethodsProspective study. Owners collected voided urine at home and within 1 to 15 hours, cystocentesis was performed in the clinic.ResultsIn a subset of motivated owners, 55% succeeded in collecting urine at home. Overall, UPC was higher (mean ±SD difference = 0.09 ±0.22; P < .001) and USG was lower (mean ±SD difference = −0.006 ±0.009; P < .001) in cystocentesis samples than in voided urine. Substantial agreement existed between sampling methods for UPC (weighted к = 0.68) and USG (к = 0.64) categories. A different proteinuria substage (UPC < 0.2, 0.2‐0.4, >0.4) was present in paired urine samples from 28% of cats. In 18% of cats, urine concentrating ability (USG < or ≥1.035) differed between both samples.Conclusions and Clinical ImportanceHome sampling of urine is a valid alternative to cystocentesis in cats. However, because clinically relevant differences in UPC and USG were present in 28% and 18% of cats, respectively, by the same collection method for monitoring each cat is advised.

AbstractThis study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) oil on growth performance, hemato‐biochemical, and histopathology of cypermethrin‐intoxicated Nile tilapia. After determining the LC50 (96 h) value of cypermethrin, cypermethrin was added to the water at a ratio of 1:20 of this concentration, and the fish were fed for 42 days. To reduce the effects of cypermethrin, 1% black cumin oil was added to the fish feed as a potential protectant. Growth parameters, hematology, blood biochemistry, and histopathological changes of Nile tilapia were examined after the feeding period. In this study, the best growth was observed in the group fed with feed containing 1% black cumin oil, while the worst growth performance was observed in the group fed with water containing cypermethrin and without black cumin oil in the feed. As a result of the study, it was observed that black cumin oil added to the fish diet reduced the negative effects of water‐borne cypermethrin on growth, hematology, blood biochemistry, and histopathological parameters of Nile tilapia.

AbstractBackgroundConventionally, tracheal tubes have been used for general anesthesia in pediatric laparoscopic surgeries. Recently, supraglottic devices are being used for the same. The performance of supraglottic devices versus tracheal tubes in children undergoing laparoscopic surgery is uncertain.MethodsA systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials that compared supraglottic devices versus tracheal tubes in patients ≤18 years undergoing laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia was conducted. The outcomes were peak airway pressures (cm H2O), end‐tidal carbon dioxide during pneumoperitoneum (mm Hg), recovery time (min), postoperative sore throat and adverse events. Mean difference and odds ratio, with 95% confidence intervals were reported using a random effect model.ResultsEight trials (n = 591) were included in the final meta‐analysis. There was no statistically significant difference in the peak airway pressures (MD 0.58, 95% CI: −0.65 to 1.8; p = .36) and end‐tidal carbon dioxide (MD −0.60, 95% CI: −2.00 to 0.80; p = .40) during pneumoperitoneum in the supraglottic device and the tracheal tube group. The tracheal tube group had higher odds of sore throat (OR 3.30, 95% CI: 1.69–6.45; p = .0005) and the supraglottic airway group had faster recovery time (MD 4.21, 95% CI: 3.12–5.31; p < .0001), which were statistically significant. The certainty of evidence is graded low.ConclusionThere is low quality evidence to suggest that for pediatric laparoscopic surgeries of short duration, supraglottic devices could provide comparable intraoperative ventilation in terms of peak airway pressures and end tidal carbon dioxide, with lower odds of postoperative sore throat and faster recovery time when compared to tracheal tubes.
