Hostile media perceptions and consumption of genetically modified and organic foods: Examining the mediating role of risk‐benefit assessments
Authors: Wang Sai 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDrawing upon the hostile media effect, this study examined how perceived media bias in covering genetically modified (GM) food influences individuals’ risk–benefit assessments of it and their food consumption behaviors. The results of a nationally representative survey (N = 1364) showed that individuals seeing media coverage as more biased in favor of GM food perceived it as more hazardous, which was related to a higher proportion of organic food consumption in their diets. In contrast, perceived media coverage as less slanted toward GM food was associated with more benefit perceptions of it, thereby predicting its higher proportion in individuals’ diets. More importantly, the indirect effect of perceived media bias on GM food consumption through benefit perceptions was more pronounced among males than females. The findings of this study not only provide empirical evidence of the perceptual and behavioral outcomes of hostile media perceptions, but also offer valuable insights for journalists and education practitioners to improve public understanding of emerging food technologies.
Organic matter deposition and preservation in ancient deep‐sea levée sediments: Implications for Neoproterozoic trends in carbon burial
Authors: Cunningham Celeste M. , Arnott R. William C. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractDeep‐marine levées are areally extensive features that experience high rates of sedimentation, making them ideal sites for significant carbon burial and preservation. Although modern deep‐marine levées have been shown to sequester a large proportion of the world's total buried organic carbon, few studies have attempted to assess carbon deposition and preservation in ancient deep‐marine levée deposits. Observations of well‐exposed levée deposits of the Neoproterozoic Windermere Supergroup in British Columbia, Canada, have shown that depositional processes in levées can result in the concentration and enrichment of sedimentary marine organic matter. In contrast to many previous studies where organic‐rich strata occur as black shales formed in anoxic conditions, organic matter in this study occurs mostly in banded, mud‐rich sandstones deposited under oxic conditions. Scanning electron microscopy shows that this organic carbon occurs primarily as nano‐scale coatings on clay particles, but also as uncommon sand‐sized organomineralic aggregates and discrete sand‐sized amorphous grains. As flows overspilled the channel margins, the rapid collapse of the turbulent suspension resulted in elevated rates of sediment fallout that promoted aggregation of organic matter and clay particles, increasing cohesive forces in the flow, and ultimately en masse deposition. Rapid burial plus association with clay mineral surfaces prevented organic matter degradation, thereby effectively sequestering significant amounts of carbon in the sediment and therefore a net sink for atmospheric CO2. However, the mechanisms and efficiency by which organic matter is buried and preserved on geological timescales is influenced by many factors, including glacial, sea‐level and tectonic cycles. This work elucidates the fundamental physical and chemical processes that control organic matter accumulation and preservation in deep‐marine levées, and how these processes have evolved throughout geological time.
The peptide link between pathogens and human centromere proteins
Authors: Huang Zhuowei , Liang Yingjie , Liu Xiaolan 
Published: October 2022

AbstractThis work tested the hypothesis that infection causes unexplained production of anti‐centromere protein antibodies (ACA) via autoimmune cross‐reactivity. To further examine the clinical origin of ACA, the overlapped peptides between human pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and fungi and centromere proteins (CENP‐A, CENP‐B and CENP‐C) were assessed. We found a broad overlap of pathogenetic peptides with human centromere proteins. These data indicate potential immune cross‐reactivity between pathogens and human centromere proteins. Additionally, the current findings corroborate a molecular and mechanistic framework for autoimmune disorders related to infection. Moreover, preliminary evidence for a potential role of infection in ACA‐related autoimmune diseases was presented.

Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundHyperpigmentary disorder is one of the commonest skin concerns in dermatology clinics. The availability of noninvasive instruments provided a convenient, objective, and reproducible methodology for the evaluation of pigmentation and skin color. The aim of this study is to compare CSKIN and VISIA in measuring facial hyperpigmentation, as well as to assess the correlation between the instrumental analyzing and clinical evaluation.MethodsEighty Chinese patients were enrolled. Images were taken and analyzed by VISIA from Canfield and CSKIN from Yanyun Technology, and the facial hyperpigmentation was graded by three dermatologists.ResultsFeature counts within the facial pigmented areas analyzed by VISIA showed positive correlations with brown pixels (r = 0.331, p < 0.05) and brown percent (r = 0.395, p < 0.0001) measured by CSKIN. The parameters measured by CSKIN and VISIA were significantly correlated with visual scores graded by the dermatologists, with VISIA presenting a moderate correlation (r = 0.509, p < 0.001) and CSKIN a slightly stronger correlation with the visual scores (r = 0.653, p < 0.001).ConclusionCSKIN could serve as an alternative in the assessment and follow‐up of skin disease featuring with facial hyperpigmentation.

Consistency of Information About Type-2 Fuzzy Preference Relation
Authors: Baskov O. V. 
Published: October 2022

In this paper, an axiomatic approach to Pareto set reduction problem is considered. The reduction is based on accounting for preferences of a decision maker which are modeled with the use of a type-2 fuzzy binary relation. This relation is only partially known through a set of so-called information quanta. Since these quanta are provided by the decision maker, it must be verified that they are consistent with the requirements of the axiomatic approach — the axioms of rational choice. Several theorems giving necessary and sufficient conditions of quanta consistency are proved. Ideas for dealing with inconsistencies are discussed with a few examples.
Maintaining Compliance While Healing at a Distance: Telehealth Services within the Frame of Turkish Data Protection Regime
Authors: Küzeci Elif , Yeşiltuna Oğuzhan 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Telehealth enables equal, high-quality, and efficient provision of health services, but it also poses serious risks in the absence of a legal basis. Despite its increasing use and promising potential, there has been no specific legal framework for telehealth in Turkey until recently. A new by-law governing the procedures and principles of telehealth services has been introduced by the Ministry of Health. As repeatedly referred to in the regulation, the most important issue is the positioning of telehealth in the data protection context. This article, therefore, aims to map telehealth services within the frame of the Turkish data protection regime. In this regard, we show how the category of personal data and the purpose of the processing should be determined. Thereafter we argue how relevant actors should be identified and present the rights and obligations of these actors in the light of basic principles regarding data processing, security, and transfer.
A Culture of Exclusion: Re-Configuring Inclusive Education in South Africa
Authors: Spies Amanda 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
The realisation of the right to education under the South African Constitution remains complex despite progressive legislation and a supportive policy framework. The complexity has highlighted the continued cultural and structural inequality of the South African public schooling system. Specifically, inclusive education and its support for learners experiencing barriers to learning illustrate the contested nature of this right, with many of these learners remaining marginalised. This article explores the concept of inclusive education as it relates to the broader contextual framework of the South African right to education. It highlights the shortcomings of the South African Schools Act 84 of 1996, in supporting authoritarian management through School Governing Bodies that has eroded the intended purpose of the Act as a beacon of community participation and transparent decision making. Key to the analysis, is establishing how South African courts have assisted learners experiencing barriers to learning, and how litigating access to public schools in challenging the policy prescripts of School Governing Bodies have hindered the implementation of inclusive education.
The “Unruly” Space: Tanjong Piandang, a Pirates’ Haven to a Fishing Village
Authors: Tan Miau Ing 
Published: October 2022

Abstract
Tanjong Piandang is a Chinese fishing village in Krian, Perak, Malaysia. It first appeared in Anderson’s work in 1824 as a favorite resort for pirates. The people in Tanjong Piandang had the reputation of being a lawless and turbulent lot, and the British colonial government tried to demolish the settlement twice by burning it down after riots. Each time, villagers gathered together and rebuilt their houses. This paper investigates how the colonial government tried to maintain law and order in this space, and the local resistance that attempted, though ultimately failed, to keep the colonial power out their village. Most of the studies on the grassroots resistance against British rule in Malaya are concentrated on the local Malay communities, not on the Chinese who are considered as a migrant community. Therefore, Tanjong Piandang is a good case study of Chinese resistance against the British.
Motor Competence Among Irish Adolescents: An Investigation of Sex Differences and Relatedness Between Fundamental Movement Skills and Functional Movement

Published: October 2022

In prior research, Irish youth displayed poor motor competence across fundamental movement skills (FMS) and functional movements (FM). Our purpose in this study was to compare FMS and FM across male and female Irish adolescents and to determine whether there are associations between these movement domains. We collected data on 373 adolescents (178 females; M age = 14.38, SD = 0.87 years) from six Irish secondary schools, including motor competence testing of 10 FMS, and 7 FM. Overall levels of motor competence of both FMS and FM were low, and certain levels of dysfunctional movement were high. We observed significant sex-based differences in both FMS and FM, and there was a moderate association between FMS and FM that warrants further investigation. There is a need for societal intervention and policy changes to address low levels of motor competence among adolescent youth.

Published: October 2022

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WMSs) are common injuries or pains that primarily affect various body structures. It is difficult to estimate the burden of WMSs in developing countries such as Ethiopia due to a lack of evidence, particularly among university academic staff. There is a universal and rapidly growing need for information about WMSs, as this is the main challenge to public health and economic burden. The purpose of this study was to determine the magnitude of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms and their associated factors among academic staff in Ethiopian universities. Methods: From February 2 to March 24, 2021, a web-based cross-sectional study was conducted among 422 academic staff members working in Ethiopian universities. A structured and self-administered Google Form questionnaire was sent and shared with the academic staff via their email addresses, Facebook, and Telegram accounts. Using a p-value of <0.05 and a 95% confidence interval, multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with the outcome variable. Results: Around 321 (77.2%) of the 416 participants were reported to have work-related musculoskeletal symptoms at least in one part of the body (95% CI: 73.1, 81.5%), with 28.1% reporting lower back pain. Respondents working in second-stage universities (AOR = 7.35, 95% CI 3.21, 16.79), being 44 years old or older (AOR = 7.89, 95% CI 2.10, 21.57), having a Ph.D. (AOR = 7.09, 95% CI 1.50, 17.93), engaging in physical activity (AOR = 3.32, 95% CI 1.43, 7.74), and working on a computer (AOR = 6.89, 95% CI 2. 0.72, 19.15) were the factors associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptoms. Conclusion: Almost three-quarters of academic staff reported work-related musculoskeletal symptoms in this survey. Factors such as university establishment stage, age, educational status, physical activity, and frequent computer use were found to be significantly associated with work-related musculoskeletal symptoms.

Neurodegenerative diseases have increased worldwide in recent years. Their relationship with oxidative stress has motivated the research to find therapies and medications capable of suppressing oxidative damage and therefore slowing the progression of these diseases. Glutathione (GSH) is the most important cellular antioxidant in living beings and is responsible for regulating the cellular redox state. However, GSH cannot be administered by any route of administration, so molecules that increase its levels by activating Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway are explored; since Nrf2 regulates the main genes involved in GSH de novo synthesis and recycling. Astrocytes are the most important cell-type in the antioxidant cell response and are responsible for providing GSH and other substrates for neurons to have an efficient antioxidant response. Methotrexate (MTX) is an anti-inflammatory agent that has different cellular effects when administered at low or high concentrations. So in this study, we used MTX different concentrations and exposure times to induce a hormetic antioxidant response in rat primary astrocytes. Our results showed that 20 nM MTX pre-conditioning for 12 h augmented the GSH/GSSG ratio and protected cellular viability against a toxic MTX and H2O2 insult, which was abrogated when Nrf2 was inhibited by brusatol. Hence, MTX subsequent studies as a drug to counteract the progression of some stress-associated neurodegenerative diseases are suggested.

Introduction/Objectives: Workplace violence against healthcare workers has been a global problem including Thailand. However, the study has been limited partly due to lack of the standardized tool in Thai context. Therefore, this study aims to translate “Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Country Case Studies Research instruments,” conducted by WHO, and to validate Thai version questionnaire. Methods: The study was conducted to translate Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Questionnaire by WHO from English to Thai. A sample of 92 participants was accidentally selected among physicians, nurses, and health-supporting workers who took part on examined the validity and reliability of the questionnaire. The internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient. Results: The study demonstrated that the index of item-objective congruence (IOC) of Thai version questionnaire is 0.75 to 1. Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient in Physical violence is .879, Verbal abuse is .934, Bullying/mobbing is .510, and health sector employer is .842. Conclusion: The Thai Version of Workplace Violence in the Health Sector Questionnaire apparently shows good validity and reliability. The questionnaire could be applied to be a useful tool for studying workplace violence in the health sector.

Published: October 2022

AbstractRice (Oryza sativa L.), as the main refined grain in China, has attracted much attention in terms of quality. Rice is usually consumed after cooking, and it is a commonly staple food. Nowdays, people's requirements for cooked rice focus more on the taste characteristics and quality. Furthermore, aroma is one of the primary sensory reference points, which is the most intuitive way for people to judge cooked rice. By integrating and analyzing the researches of cooked rice aroma identification in recent five years, this paper expounds the extraction and identification methods (sensory evaluation method, GC-MS, SPME, MOS sensors, electronic nose, etc.) of the flavor substances in cooked rice, as the processing methods and properties of cooked rice, and the volatile organic compounds of cooked rice under different conditions are summarized as well.

The maximum entropy principle for compositional data
Authors: Weistuch Corey , Zhu Jiening , Deasy Joseph O. , Tannenbaum Allen R. 
Published: October 2022

AbstractBackgroundCompositional systems, represented as parts of some whole, are ubiquitous. They encompass the abundances of proteins in a cell, the distribution of organisms in nature, and the stoichiometry of the most basic chemical reactions. Thus, a central goal is to understand how such processes emerge from the behaviors of their components and their pairwise interactions. Such a study, however, is challenging for two key reasons. Firstly, such systems are complex and depend, often stochastically, on their constituent parts. Secondly, the data lie on a simplex which influences their correlations.ResultsTo resolve both of these issues, we provide a general and data-driven modeling tool for compositional systems called Compositional Maximum Entropy (CME). By integrating the prior geometric structure of compositions with sample-specific information, CME infers the underlying multivariate relationships between the constituent components. We provide two proofs of principle. First, we measure the relative abundances of different bacteria and infer how they interact. Second, we show that our method outperforms a common alternative for the extraction of gene-gene interactions in triple-negative breast cancer.ConclusionsCME provides novel and biologically-intuitive insights and is promising as a comprehensive quantitative framework for compositional data.
