The influence of packaging color on taste expectations and perceptions
Authors: Wang Ching‐Yi , Chang Fei‐Ya 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe color of food packaging has an important influence on consumers' purchasing decisions. This study takes popcorn packaging as an example to explore the impact of packaging color on consumers' taste perception and preference evaluation. Sixty participants were invited to participate in the experiment. Four experimental package design colors (red, blue, yellow, and white) and three popcorn tastes (sweet, salty, and tasteless) were used to evaluate whether the pretasting and posttasting evaluations were affected by package color and product taste. The results of this study indicated that (1) there is a contrast between expected psychological and actual perceptions and that (2) yellow and red packaging are suitable for a sweet product, blue is suitable for a salty product, and white is suitable for a tasteless product. The research results can help designers and manufacturers understand the effects of packaging color and achieve the design conditions required by consumers.

Published: June 2022

SummaryIn recent years, cloud computing has become a priority for organizations that seek to facilitate the management of their increasingly complex information systems (IS) that includes different components: data, services, business processes and hardware. With the large number of cloud providers, the selection of cloud services for each IS component remains a challenge because each one has its own requirements in terms of quality of service which may be different from each other. Cloud providers preferences are generally different from those of organizations, hence the need for a negotiation process. In this article, we propose a framework on which the negotiations between organizations and cloud providers will be based. In this framework, we use rough set theory to predict provider preferences. This method plays an important role in improving the results of negotiations and allows to speed up this process since the preferences of the providers will be known. Additionally, we propose an improvement to an existing negotiation strategy in order to further speed up negotiation process and increase organization utility. Experiments show the effectiveness of our approach in terms of utility, time and success rate.

Published: June 2022

AbstractObjectiveBlame attribution (who is to blame for problem causes) and solution attribution (who is to control problem solving) are two critical dimensions of responsibility attribution in psychotherapy. The present study aimed to (1) investigate the impacts of blame attribution and solution attribution on session outcomes from both client and therapist perspectives and (2) clarify the relationship between the therapist–client congruence of responsibility attribution and session outcomes.MethodA total of 69 clients were recruited at a university counselling centre. Client‐rated responsibility attribution (to what extent they were responsible for the causes and solution of their current concerns), therapist‐rated responsibility attribution (to what extent they thought their clients should be responsible for the causes and solution of clients' current concerns), client‐rated session quality and symptom level for each session were collected across 387 sessions. Multilevel regression was used to explore the relationship between responsibility attribution and session outcomes. Truth and bias model and response surface analysis were utilized to analyse the within‐client and between‐client client–therapist congruence effects.ResultsThe main results included that (1) the clients with higher solution responsibility had more symptom improvement and higher evaluation of session quality (between‐client level). A client's perceived solution responsibility predicted better session quality and fewer next session symptom levels (within‐client level). (2) If a therapist attributed more solution responsibility to his/her client, the session quality was higher (within‐client level). (3) Neither clients' nor therapists' perspectives on blame attribution directly affected session outcomes. But the higher the client's blame for his/her problem causes, the stronger the association between solution responsibility and symptom reduction (within‐client level). (4) Higher within‐client client–therapist congruence on blame responsibility led to better session outcomes.ConclusionThe clients' solution responsibility and client–therapist congruence on blame for problem causes contribute to session outcomes in psychotherapy.

AbstractObjectiveDiagnostic casts are one of the standard components of orthodontic records. But they have several drawbacks such as the need for physical space for storage and the risk of breaking due to their brittle composition. Today, the digitalization of orthodontic models is a progress in orthodontics. The purpose of this study was to compare and evaluate common orthodontic linear measurements on plaster casts and digital 3D models using Maestro 3D ortho studio® scanner and software (AGE Solutions®, Pontedera, Italy).Materials and MethodsStudy casts of 30 orthodontic patients were selected. Tooth width, space analysis, Bolton analysis, overjet, overbite, and linear measurements of dental arch dimensions were performed by two examiners on plaster casts and digital models.Statistical AnalysisIntra‐ and interexaminer agreements were evaluated in both manual and digital methods and pairedt test was used for evaluating the agreement between the manual and digital measurement. The significance level was set at 0.05.ResultsThe intraexaminer agreement was excellent (ICC > 0.75) for most variables in both manual and digital methods. The correlation between the two examiners was significant (p < .05) for most manual and digital measurements. The differences between the manual and digital measurements, although maybe statistically significant, were not clinically significant for most variables.ConclusionThe use of “Maestro 3D” (AGE Solutions, Pontedera, Italy) scanner and software was acceptable for orthodontic diagnostic measurements instead of study casts.

AbstractBackgroundAs effective immune modulators, Endocannabinoids may suppress the inflammatory responses in periodontitis. This study assessed the expression of cannabinoid receptors in gingiva and the impact on periodontitis.MethodsA cross‐sectional study on 20 patients with more than stage II and Grade A periodontitis and a control group consisting of 19 healthy individuals was performed. The gingival biopsies were assessed for the expression of CB1 and CB2 using the quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction, TaqMan method.ResultsThe study sample consisted of 39 subjects, 31 females (79.5%) and 8 males (20.5%), including 20 periodontitis subjects (80% female and 20% male), and control groups (78.9% female and 21.1% male). The mean ages of cases and controls were 33.3 ± 4.7 and 35.7 ± 5.1 years, respectively. The gene expression of CB2 in periodontitis was 27.62 ± 7.96 and in healthy subjects was 78.15 ± 23.07. The CB2 was significantly lower than the control group (p = .008). In comparison, the gene expression index of CB1 in the periodontal group (9.42 ± 3.03) was higher than the control group (6.62 ± 1.13) but did not meet a significant value (p = .671).ConclusionThe lower expression of CB2 receptors in the periodontitis group may be due to the reduced protective effect of anti‐inflammatory agents. These elements include cannabinoids and the imbalance leading to the predominance of pro‐inflammatory effects. Therefore, the local effects of cannabinoids as an immunomodulator could be useful for oral inflammatory diseases such as periodontitis.
An update and review of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy for vitiligo
Authors: Wang Eugene , Rodrigues Michelle 
Published: June 2022

AbstractVitiligo is a chronic skin condition that results in depigmentation. It affects up to 2% of the population worldwide. Phototherapy is one of the most commonly used treatment methods for vitiligo. In the last few decades, there has been an increasing popularity of narrowband ultraviolet B phototherapy (NB‐UVB) over other forms of phototherapy to treat vitiligo. This paper reviews efficacy and safety of NB‐UVB treatment in vitiligo, including combination therapy with topical calcineurin inhibitors, corticosteroids, vitamin D analogs, antioxidants, and fractional CO2 laser. Advantages and limitations of home‐based phototherapy as an emerging alternative to conventional hospital‐based phototherapy will also be explored.

AbstractMaternal antibiotic (ABx) exposure can significantly perturb the transfer of microbiota from mother to offspring, resulting in dysbiosis of potential relevance to neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Studies in rodent models have found long‐term neurobehavioral effects in offspring of ABx‐treated dams, but ASD‐relevant behavior during the early preweaning period has thus far been neglected. Here, we exposed C57BL/6J mouse dams to ABx (5 mg/ml neomycin, 1.25 μg/ml pimaricin, .075% v/v acetic acid) dissolved in drinking water from gestational day 12 through offspring postnatal day 14. A number of ASD‐relevant behaviors were assayed in offspring, including ultrasonic vocalization (USV) production during maternal separation, group huddling in response to cold challenge, and olfactory‐guided home orientation. In addition, we obtained measures of thermoregulatory competence in pups during and following behavioral testing. We found a number of behavioral differences in offspring of ABx‐treated dams (e.g., modulation of USVs by pup weight, activity while huddling) and provide evidence that some of these behavioral effects can be related to thermoregulatory deficiencies, particularly at younger ages. Our results suggest not only that ABx can disrupt microbiomes, thermoregulation, and behavior, but that metabolic effects may confound the interpretation of behavioral differences observed after early‐life ABx exposure.
Early‐life conditions impact juvenile telomere length, but do not predict later life‐history strategies or fitness in a wild vertebrate

AbstractEnvironmental conditions experienced during early life may have long‐lasting effects on later‐life phenotypes and fitness. Individuals experiencing poor early‐life conditions may suffer subsequent fitness constraints. Alternatively, individuals may use a strategic “Predictive Adaptive Response” (PAR), whereby they respond—in terms of physiology or life‐history strategy—to the conditions experienced in early life to maximize later‐life fitness. Particularly, the Future Lifespan Expectation (FLE) PAR hypothesis predicts that when poor early‐life conditions negatively impact an individual's physiological state, it will accelerate its reproductive schedule to maximize fitness during its shorter predicted life span. We aimed to measure the impact of early‐life conditions and resulting fitness across individual lifetimes to test predictions of the FLE hypothesis in a wild, long‐lived model species. Using a long‐term individual‐based dataset, we investigated how early‐life conditions are linked with subsequent fitness in an isolated population of the Seychelles warbler Acrocephalus sechellensis. How individuals experience early‐life environmental conditions may vary greatly, so we also tested whether telomere length—shorter telomers are a biomarker of an individual's exposure to stress—can provide an effective measure of the individual‐specific impact of early‐life conditions. Specifically, under the FLE hypothesis, we would expect shorter telomeres to be associated with accelerated reproduction. Contrary to expectations, shorter juvenile telomere length was not associated with poor early‐life conditions, but instead with better conditions, probably as a result of faster juvenile growth. Furthermore, neither juvenile telomere length, nor other measures of early‐life conditions, were associated with age of first reproduction or the number of offspring produced during early life in either sex. We found no support for the FLE hypothesis. However, for males, poor early‐life body condition was associated with lower first‐year survival and reduced longevity, indicating that poor early‐life conditions pose subsequent fitness constraints. Our results also showed that using juvenile telomere length as a measure of early‐life conditions requires caution, as it is likely to not only reflect environmental stress but also other processes such as growth.
History's legacy: Why future progress in ecology demands a view of the past
Authors: Estes James A. , Vermeij Geerat J. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractHistory has profoundly affected the composition, distribution, and abundances of species in contemporary ecosystems. A full understanding of how ecosystems work and change must therefore take history into account. We offer four well‐studied examples illustrating how a knowledge of history has strengthened interpretations of modern systems: the development of molluscan antipredatory defenses in relation to shell‐breaking predators; the North Pacific kelp ecosystem with sea otters, smaller predators, sea urchins, and large herbivores; estuarine ecosystems affected by the decline in oysters and other suspension feeders; and the legacy of extinct large herbivores and frugivores in tropical American forests. Many current ecological problems would greatly benefit from a historical perspective. We highlight four of these: soil depletion and tree stunting in forests related to the disappearance of large consumers; the spread of anoxic dead zones in the ocean, which we argue could be mitigated by restoring predator and suspension‐feeding guilds; ocean acidification, which would be alleviated by more nutrient recycling by consumers in the aerobic ecosystem; and the relation between species diversity and keystone predators, a foundational concept that is complicated by simplified trophic relationships in modern ecosystems.

AbstractAimsEvidence on the association between ambient temperature and the onset of acute heart failure (AHF) is scarce and mixed. We sought to investigate the incidence of AHF admissions based on ambient temperature change, with particular interest in detecting the difference between AHF with preserved (HFpEF), mildly reduced (HFmrEF), and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF).Methods and resultsIndividualized AHF admission data from January 2015 to December 2016 were obtained from a multicentre registry (Tokyo CCU Network Database). The primary event was the daily number of admissions. A linear regression model, using the lowest ambient temperature as the explanatory variable, was selected for the best‐estimate model. We also applied the cubic spline model using five knots according to the percentiles of the distribution of the lowest ambient temperature. We divided the entire population into HFpEF + HFmrEF and HFrEF for comparison. In addition, the in‐hospital treatment and mortality rates were obtained according to the interquartile ranges (IQRs) of the lowest ambient temperature (IQR1 <5.5°C; IQR25.5–13.3°C; IQR3 13.3–19.7°C; and IQR4 >19.7°C). The number of admissions for HFpEF, HFmrEF and HFrEF were 2736 (36%), 1539 (20%), and 3354 (44%), respectively. The lowest ambient temperature on the admission day was inversely correlated with the admission frequency for both HFpEF + HFmrEF and HFrEF patients, with a stronger correlation in patients with HFpEF + HFmrEF (R2 = 0.25 vs. 0.05, P < 0.001). In the sensitivity analysis, the decrease in the ambient temperature was associated with the greatest incremental increases in HFpEF, followed by HFmrEF and HFrEF patients (3.5% vs. 2.8% vs. 1.5% per −1°C, P < 0.001), with marked increase in admissions of hypertensive patients (systolic blood pressure >140 mmHg vs. 140–100 mmHg vs. <100 mmHg, 3.0% vs. 2.0% vs. 0.8% per −1°C, P for interaction <0.001). A mediator analysis indicated the presence of the mediator effect of systolic blood pressure. The in‐hospital mortality rate (7.5%) did not significantly change according to ambient temperature (P = 0.62).ConclusionsLower ambient temperature was associated with higher frequency of AHF admissions, and the effect was more pronounced in HFpEF and HFmrEF patients than in those with HFrEF.

Published: June 2022

AbstractEthyl diazoacetate (EDA), which is easily prepared from ethyl glycinate and NaNO2, reacts in situ with alkynes in a water micelle environment without organic solvent to form pyrazoles. The reaction is pH dependent, as in the presence of protic catalysis (H2SO4 4 %, pH 3.5) a mixture of 3,5‐ and 4,5‐disubstituted pyrazoles was obtained, while, at pH 5.5, only the 3,5‐disubstituted isomer was obtained. The presence of the surfactant TPGS‐750‐M was crucial to secure clean crude reaction mixtures and high yields of the products. The same protocol was successfully applied to the synthesis of substituted pyrazolines.

Published: June 2022

AbstractBanana is an important cash crop in tropical and subtropical areas; however, the development of banana farming has caused thorny ecological problems, such as water and soil loss. There are few studies on the runoff response to rainfall in banana land to date. In this study, several evaluation indexes, rainfall redistribution, throughfall erosivity, splash kinetic energy, soil splash loss and runoff, respectively, were used to clarify the mechanism of soil erosion in banana land. Results showed that the atmospheric rainfall was significantly redistributed by the banana canopy, with about 81.2% throughfall, 8.3% stemflow and the rest canopy interception. Although the throughfall erosivity evaluated by the model was slightly lower than that of open rainfall, the throughfall kinetic energy and the soil particle splash loss reached 1.5 times and 5 times higher than that of open rainfall, respectively. Consequently, throughfall has an obvious splash erosion effect on the surface soil. In addition, influenced by throughfall and stemflow, surface runoff during the rainy season (May–September) accounts for the annual 91.7%, July and August in particular having the highest incidence of soil erosion in banana land. The above results suggest that the convergence effect of the banana canopy on rainwater is the main inducement for the increase in throughfall volume and surface runoff volume. Therefore, it is necessary to implement soil and water conservation measures on banana fields during the rainy season, such as planting low vegetation under the banana canopy to mitigate splash effects.
Comparison of Substance-Based and Whole-Effluent Toxicity of Produced Water Discharges from Norwegian Offshore Oil and Gas Installations

Abstract
When assessing the environmental risks of offshore produced water discharges, it is key to properly assess the toxicity of this complex mixture. Toxicity can be assessed either through the application of whole-effluent toxicity (WET) testing or based on its substance-based chemical composition or both. In the present study, the toxicity assessed based on WET and substance-based was compared for 25 offshore produced water effluents collected for the Norwegian implementation of the Oslo–Paris convention risk-based assessment program. The objectives were, firstly, to examine the concurrence between toxicity estimates derived from these two lines of evidence; and, secondly, to evaluate whether toxicity of produced water discharges predicted from substance-based data is adequately addressed in comparison with ground truth reflected by WET. For both approaches, 50% hazardous concentrations (HC50s) were calculated. For at least 80% of the effluents the HC50s for the two approaches differed by less than a factor of 5. Differences found between the two approaches can be attributed to the uncertainty in the estimation of the concentration of production chemicals that strongly influences the substance-based estimated toxicity. By evaluating effluents on a case-by-case basis, additional causes were hypothesized. Risk management will particularly benefit from the strength of risk endpoints from both approaches by monitoring them periodically in conjunction over time. This way (in)consistencies in trends of both indicators can be evaluated and addressed. Environ Toxicol Chem 2022;41:2285–2304. © 2022 The Authors.

Individual mobility pattern in Malaysia during COVID‐19 Recovery Movement Control Order partial lockdown
Authors: Ujang Uznir , Azri Suhaibah 
Published: June 2022

AbstractMalaysia Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) aims to bring the business, education, tourism and other industry sectors back into operation. Due to movement constraints that result in local economic patterns, individual mobility patterns are expected to occur. However, this matter needs further investigation from people's spatial behaviour during the RMCO. Therefore, this research proposed a new technique for analysing people's spatial behaviour patterns via geo‐tagged data. The data from social media users are gathered using data mining techniques. Geographical Information System (GIS) is used to show the geolocation of social media users and analyse their spatial behaviour. The finding of this analysis shows higher people's movement recorded when the RMCO was enforced; a distinctive pattern where spatial trajectory length is high but spatial area coverage is low. It is noticed that the focal points are concentrated in urban areas and tourism attractions.
