Abstract
The use of “best available data” is a fundamental requirement for all scientific forms of analysis. This paper discusses ways to improve the accuracy of data used to evaluate the potential impacts of pesticides on species that are listed as threatened or endangered under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) by ensuring the best available spatial data representing pesticide use sites are applied correctly. A decision matrix is presented that uses accuracy information from metadata contained in the US Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Cropland Data Layer (CDL) and the Census of Agriculture (CoA) to improve how labeled pesticide use sites are spatially delineated. We suggest recommendations for the current pesticide evaluation process used by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and subsequently by the US Fish and Wildlife Services and National Marine Fisheries Service (collectively known as the Services) in Section 7 consultation activities. The decision matrix is applied to each cultivated land layer in the USDA's CDL with recommendations for how best to use each layer in the evaluation process. Application of this decision matrix will lead to improved representation of labeled uses and more accurate overlap calculations used in the assessment of potential impacts of pesticides on endangered species.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBackgroundExosomal long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) serve as excellent candidate biomarkers for clinical applications. The expression of differentiation antagonizing non‐protein coding RNA (DANCR) has been shown to be decreased in breast cancer (BC) tissues and cell lines. However, the clinical value of circulating exosomal DANCR in BC has not been explored.MethodsA total of 120 BC patients, 70 benign breast disease (BBD) patients, and 105 healthy women were recruited in this study. Total RNA was extracted from serum samples, and the level of serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR was evaluated by quantitative real‐time reverse transcription‐polymerase chain reaction (qRT‐PCR).ResultsSerum exosomal lncRNA DANCR levels were significantly higher in BC patients than in BBD patients and normal controls. The diagnostic performance of serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR was good, and the combination of serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR, CA153, and CEA greatly improved the diagnostic accuracy for BC. High serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR level was associated with various clinicopathological variables including lymph node metastasis, ER status, HER2 status, and TNM stage. In addition, the BC patients in the high serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR expression group had significantly shorter 5‐year overall survival time. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that serum exosomal lncRNA DANCR was an independent risk factor for BC.ConclusionSerum exosomal lncRNA DANCR may be a useful non‐invasive biomarker for the clinical diagnosis and prognosis of BC.

AbstractBackgroundThe term “allergen extracts” refers to solutions of proteins or glycoproteins extracted from source raw materials.ObjectivesThis study was planned to prepare chemically stable sublingual immunotherapy from different allergens in Egypt.MethodsAllergen extraction from raw materials. The concentrated aqueous extract of each allergen was mixed with an equal volume of glycerol. The protein content of the preparations was determined using the modified Lowry assay method. The prepared allergens were stored for 9 months at 2–4°C. Samples were analyzed periodically (0, 3, 6, and 9 months of intervals) adopting the Lowry Assay method. Levels of specific IgE to Chenopodium album antigens were measured in patients’ sera by ELISA.ResultsThe concentration of all prepared allergens, as indicated by the concentration of the protein content, was found to decrease exponentially with time, implying first‐order kinetics of degradation. From the values of the slopes of the log plot for each allergen, the half‐life time (t1/2) and (t1/4) values were calculated. The expiration date was considered as the time after which the allergen loses 25% of its potency. The obtained values of t1/4% vary according to the type of vaccine. The most stable one is that of Chenopodium album pollens (2.4 years) and the least stable is that of house dust Mites (9 months). The immunological characters of Chenopodium album extract were stable for at least 6 months.ConclusionDifferences exist among allergen extracts made by multiple manufacturers. So, developments in studies on allergen preparation and characterization in a different locality are necessary.

AbstractObjectivesTrauma and resulting functional limitations demonstrate associations with perceived burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness, factors contributing to elevated risk for suicidal ideation. However, survivors display differential risk in response to impairment, highlighting the need for research on exacerbating factors. The current study examined the impact of brooding on the association of functional impairment with burdensomeness and belongingness among trauma‐exposed undergraduates (N = 262).MethodTrauma was assessed via clinical interview with questionnaires for study variables. Regression models examined the unique and interactive effects of physical impairment, emotional impairment, and brooding on burdensomeness and thwarted belongingness.ResultsAn interaction of brooding and impairment due to emotional difficulties was observed for burdensomeness with impairment linked to elevated burdensomeness at high (β = −0.46;p < 0.001), but not low (β = −0.07;p = 0.476) brooding. Impairment due to emotional difficulties (β = −0.38;p < 0.001) and brooding (β = 0.25;p < 0.001) were associated with belongingness.ConclusionsFindings identify brooding as a potential target for assessment and intervention in trauma‐exposed individuals.
Equitable Mindfulness: The practice of mindfulness for all

Published: February 2022

AbstractThe benefits of mindfulness are well‐documented; however, these benefits may not be evenly distributed across communities. Equitable Mindfulness aims to make these benefits accessible to a wider and more inclusive audience. The aim of this study was to investigate the applicability of Equitable Mindfulness and systemic barriers that prevent mindfulness programs from being equitably accessed across communities. Twenty‐one participants were recruited for qualitative in‐depth interviews during a 2‐day mindfulness conference. The constant comparison method was used to iteratively identify and categorize themes that emerged within and across interviews. Five dominant themes emerged from the data as follows: inherent equitability, accessibility, inclusiveness, awareness and knowledge‐sharing, and acknowledgement of multiple perspectives. Having an applicable and meaningful term to use when describing mindfulness as an inclusive and equitable practice can facilitate the exploration of a new area of research. There is a need for future initiatives aimed at making mindfulness trainings and programs more equitable and accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, race/ethnicity, or abilities/disabilities.
The cognitive processes underlying false beliefs
Authors: Stanley Matthew L. , Whitehead Peter S. , Marsh Elizabeth J. 
Published: February 2022

AbstractWhy do consumers sometimes fall for spurious claims—for example, brain training games that prevent cognitive decline, toning sneakers that sculpt one's body, flower essence that cures depression—and how can consumers protect themselves in the modern world where information is shared quickly and easily? As cognitive scientists, we view this problem through the lens of what we know, more generally, about how people evaluate information for its veracity, and how people update their beliefs. That is, the same processes that support true belief can also encourage people to sometimes believe misleading or false information. Anchoring on the large literature on truth and belief updating allows predictions about consumer behavior; it also highlights possible solutions while casting doubt on other possible responses to misleading communications.

Published: February 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDDiatomite and biochemical fulvic acid were used as raw materials to prepare biochemical fulvic acid‐modified diatomite using by the sol–gel method. The structure and properties of samples were investigated by X‐ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, etc. The effects of solution pH and reaction temperature on the adsorption performance of adsorption materials were evaluated by taking tetracycline as the target pollutant. The adsorption kinetics, adsorption rate mechanism and adsorption isotherm of tetracycline were revealed.RESULTSThe results showed that the main form of diatomite is amorphous SiO2. The surface and channels of diatomite were loaded with biochemical fulvic acid, and the specific surface area of the modified material increased from 9.182 to 13.774 m2 g−1, while the average pore size decreased from 10.972 to 7.15 nm. The pH of the tetracycline solution was 5 and the initial concentration was 20 mg L−1; the adsorption capacity of the modified sample increased 1.93‐fold to 29.84 mg g−1. When the adsorption temperature was increased from 10 to 60 °C, the adsorption capacity of the modified material increased nearly fourfold, reaching 78.8 mg g−1.CONCLUSIONQuasi‐second‐order reaction kinetics has a correlation coefficient R2 of 0.993, which suggests a good fit to the adsorption process of tetracycline by the modified diatomite. Both Freundlich and Redlich–Peterson adsorption isotherm equations can elucidate the adsorption process of the composites. The adsorption is heterogeneous adsorption on the surface, mainly multi‐layer adsorption and electrostatic attraction adsorption. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry (SCI).
Ovary micromorphology and oogenesis in a rhyacodriline oligochaete (Clitellata: Naididae, Rhyacodrilinae)

Published: February 2022

AbstractThe main goal of the article is to describe the ovary organization and oogenesis in Peristodrilus montanus, an aquatic oligochaete of the subfamily Rhyacodrilinae. The presented analysis will not only enrich the knowledge about how eggs are formed but, because of the suggested conservatism of ovary organization in clitellate annelids, can contribute to disentangling the complex phylogenetic relationships of the rhyacodrilines within Naididae. The paired, conically shaped ovaries are located in segment XI. They are composed of a dozen or so syncytial germ‐line cysts, which are associated with somatic cells. Each germ cell in a cyst has one intercellular bridge that joins it to a central and anuclear cytoplasmic mass, the cytophore. This pattern of cyst organization is typical for all clitellates that have been studied to date. Initially, the germ cells in a cyst undergo a synchronous development, however, there is no synchrony between cysts, and therefore there is a developmental gradient (oogonia, pre‐diplotene germ cells, germ cells in diplotene) of oogenesis along the long ovary axis. The cysts are composed of a maximum of 32 cells. Cysts with cells in diplotene detach from the ovaries and the extraovarian phase of oogenesis begins. The developmental synchrony is lost, one cell (an oocyte) per cyst starts to gather cell components and yolk and grows considerably. The remaining cells grow to some extent and function as nurse cells. Like in other microdriles, P. montanus oocytes are rich in yolk; other features of oogenesis are also similar to those that are known from other microdrile taxa. The system of ovary organization found in the studied species is broadly similar to the corresponding features known from Naidinae and Phreodrilidae and, to some extent, in Enchytraeidae. However, this system is different from the one that is known in Tubificinae, Limnodriloidinae and Branchiurinae.

Published: February 2022

AbstractCoxsackievirus B2 (CVB2) is an enterovirus B (EV‐B) species and can cause aseptic meningitis, myocarditis and hand, foot, and mouth disease (HFMD). We characterized a novel CVB2 (YN31V3) associated with HFMD in Yunnan, Southwest China, in 2019. Although YN31V3 and other Mainland China epidemic strains mainly belonged to genotype C, YN31V3 formed an independent branch. The genome sequence of the strain YN31V3 from this study showed a 12.91% nucleotide difference to its closest strain RW41‐2/YN/CHN/2012. Recombination analyses showed that the newly isolated YN31V3 was probably a recombinant, which was closely related to CVB2 strains in the genomic P1 region and other EV‐B strains in the P2 and P3 regions, respectively. YN31V3 strain had a temperature‐sensitive phenotype. The challenge of suckling BALB/c mice with YN31V3 could cause symptoms of disease and severe pathological lesions.

AbstractBackgroundImmediate implant placement in the esthetic area requires comprehensive assessments with nearly 30 quantitative indexes. Most artificial intelligence (AI)‐driven measurements of quantitative indexes depend on segmentation or landmark detection, which require extra labeling of images and contain possible intraclass errors.MethodsFor the initial attempt, the method was tested on sagittal root inclination measurement. This study had developed an accurate and efficient end‐to‐end model incorporating a convolutional neural network (CNN) based on unlabeled cone‐beam computed tomography (CBCT) images for immediate implant placement diagnosis and treatment. The model took pretrained ResNeXt101 as the backbone and was constructed based on 2,920 CBCT images with corresponding angles of the tooth axis and bone axis. The performance of our CNN model was evaluated on a separate test set.ResultsOur model exhibited high prediction accuracy in sagittal root inclination measurements, as evidenced by the low mean average error of 2.16°, the high correlation coefficient of 0.915 to manual measurement, and the narrow 95% confidence interval shown by Bland‐Altman plots. The intraclass correlation coefficient further confirmed the measurement accuracy of our model was comparable with that of junior clinicians. The model took merely 0.001 seconds for each CBCT image, making it highly efficient. To better understand the model's quality, we visualized our end‐to‐end CNN model through Guided Backpropagation, Grad‐CAM, and Guided Grad‐CAM, and confirmed its effectiveness in region recognition.ConclusionsWe succeeded in taking the first step in constructing the end‐to‐end immediate implant placement AI tool through sagittal root inclination measurements without intermediate steps and extra labeling on images.

AbstractExtreme wind events affect lake phytoplankton by deepening the mixed layer and increasing internal nutrient loading. Both increases and decreases in phytoplankton concentration after strong wind events have been observed, but the precise mechanisms driving these responses remain poorly understood or quantified. We coupled a one‐dimensional physical model to a biogeochemical model to investigate the factors regulating short‐term phytoplankton responses to summer wind events, now and under expected warmer future conditions. We simulated physical, chemical, and biological dynamics in Lake Erken, Sweden, and found that strong wind could increase or decrease the phytoplankton concentration in the euphotic zone 1 week after the event, depending on antecedent lake physical and chemical conditions. Wind had little effect on phytoplankton concentration if the mixed layer was deep prior to wind exposure. Higher incoming shortwave radiation and hypolimnetic nutrient concentration boosted phytoplankton concentration, whereas higher surface water temperatures decreased concentrations after wind events. Medium‐intensity wind events resulted in more phytoplankton than high‐intensity wind. Simulations under a future climate scenario did not show marked differences in the way wind events affect phytoplankton concentration. These findings help to better understand how wind impacts vary as a function of local environmental conditions and how climate warming and changing extreme weather dynamics will affect lake ecosystems.

Fake smiles. Customer reactions to employees’ display inauthenticity and choice restrictions
Authors: Pham Thuy , Lechner Andreas T. , Mathmann Frank 
Published: February 2022

AbstractFrontline employees’ fake smiles (i.e., positive emotion display inauthenticity) frequently occur despite firms’ efforts to ensure real smiles in service delivery. Previous research on the effects of display inauthenticity on customers reveals considerable heterogeneity. Attempts to resolve this have largely been limited to stable and dispositional factors, which often escape managerial control. The present research investigates the impacts of display inauthenticity, choice restrictions, and their interaction on service performance. Choice restrictions may buffer inauthenticity effects as demonstrated by results from three factorial experiments in different contexts (e.g., restrictions of service provider choice in predelivery in Study 1 and in‐store choice restrictions during service delivery in Studies 2 and 3). Frontline employees’ display inauthenticity negatively affects service performance only if customers are subjected to low but not high choice restrictions. The interaction effect is explained by customers’ interdependent self‐construal and is generalizable to actual spending behaviors. Our findings inform managers about the interplay of increasingly common inauthenticity and choice restrictions due to market shocks such as COVID‐19 and provide insights into managerial interventions that can be used to mitigate the effects of inauthenticity on customers.

Published: February 2022

AbstractThe photochemical reaction is a very important type of chemical reaction. Visualizing and controlling photo‐mediated reactions is a long‐standing goal and challenge. In this regard, single‐molecule electrical detection with label‐free, real‐time, and in situ characteristics has unique advantages in monitoring the dynamic process of photoreactions at the single‐molecule level. In this review, a valuable summary of the latest process of single‐molecule photochemical reactions based on single‐molecule electrical platforms is provided. The single‐molecule electrical detection platforms for monitoring photoreactions are displayed, including their fundamental principles, construction methods, and practical applications. The single‐molecule studies of two different types of light‐mediated reactions are summarized as below: i) photo‐induced reactions, including reversible cyclization, conformational isomerization, and other photo‐related reactions; ii) plasmon‐mediated photoreactions, including reaction mechanisms and concrete examples, such as plasmon‐induced photolysis of SS/OO bonds and tautomerization of porphycene. In addition, the prospects for future research directions and challenges in this field are also discussed.
