AbstractIssue addressedThe objective was to identify whether National Sporting Organisations (NSOs) have policy documentation on healthy behaviours (smokefree, sun‐protection, healthy food/beverages and alcohol) and, for organisations with such documentation, whether this was in‐line with current scientific evidence of past best practice in cancer prevention.MethodsThis cross‐sectional policy analysis study was performed September to December 2018 in Aotearoa/New Zealand. A content analysis was undertaken using NSO policy documents matched against a framework of key indicators for best practice within health behaviours of interest. Data analysis of the policy process was undertaken through key informant telephone interviews with NSO staff using semi‐structured qualitative interviews.ResultsOf 96 NSOs, nearly half (49%) mentioned smokefree at least once in one of their policy documents, and 47% had an alcohol policy, although in both instances the policies lacked comprehensiveness. Two NSOs had a reasonably comprehensive sun protection policy. Seventeen had at least one specific nutrition policy/guideline. The contents of the latter were primarily related to short‐term athletic performance rather than non‐communicable disease prevention, specifically promoting hydration during sports participation, and food and nutrition to support sporting performance. Two NSOs had policies relating to the promotion of healthy food/nutrition more widely. For some NSOs, the lack of health‐related policies was not a conscious choice but just not considered previously. Other NSOs reported they lacked resources or had other priorities.ConclusionsAlthough this study clearly demonstrates that many NSOs lack adequate health‐related policies, this is not necessarily a conscious choice, but the result of a lack of resources, other priorities, or just that they had not considered developing policies in these areas. A number expressed support for these types of policies although it was apparent that some, particularly smaller NSOs, would require assistance in policy template development. It seems probable that the development of health‐related policies will only occur if partner agencies become involved.

Published: March 2022

AbstractThis study explores how the motivational framing of a network training program may positively or (inadvertently) adversely impact participants' discomfort with strategic networking and motivation to network. We examine the impact of a “me‐focused” framing (i.e., on the personal career benefits that individuals can accrue through strategic networking) and a “we‐focused” framing (i.e., on the benefits to the team/organization of individuals' strategic networking) compared to a control group in two field‐based quasi‐experiments. In both studies, we found no difference between the two training frames in their effect on the two training outcomes when looking at participants' reactions, on average. However, in the second study, we find that individual differences in the way participants relate to others (i.e., the extent to which they endorse an individual or a collective self‐concept) change the impact of the framing on their discomfort with and motivation to network. The findings highlight the importance of considering the match or mismatch between training framing and self‐concept. In the we‐focused condition, a match was related to decreased networking discomfort, while a mismatch was related to increased discomfort and decreased motivation. In the me‐focused condition, a mismatch was counter‐intuitively related to decreased discomfort. These findings suggest that considering participants' reactions to training (i.e., change in discomfort and motivation), on average, may mask important differences in their response to network‐based training and that tailoring network training to participants' self‐concepts may be an important consideration for human resource management professionals.
Effect of condenser design on the performance of the natural circulation loop solar still: An experimental study
Authors: Rahmani Ahmed , Zaidi Yamina 
Published: March 2022

AbstractThis paper deals with an experimental study performed to evaluate the condenser geometry effect on the natural circulation loop solar still (NCLSS) performance. Three configurations for the external condenser, namely smooth single‐tube condenser, finned‐tube condenser, and three‐tube condenser, were tested under typical summer conditions. The experimental data show that the obtained daily productivity of the NCLSS for the three condenser designs was 2.057, 2.628, and 3.3 kg/m2, respectively. The comparison shows that adding external annular fins to the smooth single‐tube condenser increases the still's daily productivity by about 27%. The increase in both internal and external areas of the condenser increases the freshwater daily productivity by 60.42% than the smooth single‐tube design and by 25.57% than the finned‐tube design. The calculations show that the daily thermal efficiency of the NCLSS was 16%, 20.8%, and 25.38% for the three test days, respectively. While, the daily exergy efficiency for the three condenser designs was 1.78%, 2.12%, and 2.22%, respectively.
Investigation of flow parameters of Reiner–Philippoff nanofluid flow with higher‐order slip properties, activation energy, and bioconvection by artificial neural networks
Authors: Çolak Andaç Batur 
Published: March 2022

AbstractIn this study, the flow parameters of Reiner–Philippoff nanofluid flow with high‐order slip properties, activation energy, and bioconvection have been analyzed using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Local Nusselt number (LNN), local Sherwood number (LSN), and motile density number (MDN) are considered as flow parameters. Numerical values have been obtained by numerical methods using flow equations. To estimate the flow parameters, three different ANN models have been designed. The Levenberg–Marquardt training algorithm is used in multilayer perceptron network models with 10 neurons in the hidden layers. In all, 70% of the data set has been used for training the models, 15% for validation, and 15% for testing. The performance analysis of the network models has been made by calculating the determined performance parameters. The R values for the LNN, LSN, and MDN parameters have been calculated as 0.99261, 0.98769, and 0.99102, respectively, and the average deviation values are −0.65%, 0.06%, and −0.11%, respectively. The attained outcomes showed that the ANNs can predict the LNN, LSN, and MDN, which are the flow parameters of the Reiner–Philippoff nanofluid flow, with high accuracy.

AbstractAccurate calculation of evapotranspiration (ET) for all crops plays an important role. This study was conducted to determine the most accurate reference evapotranspiration (ETr) estimation model for arid climatic conditions using the decision support system (DSS) program for alfalfa plants in south‐east Anatolia, Turkey, in 2019 and 2020. The evapotranspiration of 12 mathematical models (ETr‐m) and the evapotranspiration of a lysimeter (ETr‐l) were used to estimate ETr. In 2 experimental years, 1133 and 1270 mm of irrigation water were applied to alfalfa plants, respectively. The actual total ET was calculated as 1288 and 1294 mm in 2019 and 2020, respectively. The root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), ETr‐m/ETr‐l, and index of agreement (d) were calculated separately for each mathematical model. The RMSE, MAE, ETr‐m/ETr‐l and d values for the mathematical models had a range of 1.25–3.57 mm day−1, 0.91–1.98 mm day−1, 0.64–1.04 and 0.56–0.94, respectively. According to the results of the regression analysis with the RMSE, MAE, ETr/ETr‐m and d values obtained from the models, the Businger–Van Bavel model was the most accurate prediction model. The others were the FAO PPP‐17 Penman and the 1982 Kimberly Penman models, respectively.

AbstractIn this study, we explored to detect the effects and mechanism of bone‐marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) on ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI). We transplanted BMSCs in mice and then induced VILI using mechanical ventilation (MV) treatment. The pathological changes, the content of PaO2 and PaCO2, wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of the lung, levels of tumor necrosis factor‐α and interleukin‐6 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and apoptosis were detected. The autophagy‐associated factor p62, LC3, and Beclin‐1 expression were analyzed by western blot. The quantitative polymerase chain reaction was applied to detect abnormally expressed microRNAs, including miR‐155‐5p. Subsequently, we overexpressed miR‐155‐5p in VILI mice to detect the effects of miR‐155‐5p on MV‐induced lung injury. Then, we carried out bioinformatics analysis to verify the BMSCs‐regulated miR‐155‐5p that target messenger RNA. It was observed that BMSCs transplantation mitigated the severity of VILI in mice. BMSCs transplantation reduced lung inflammation, strengthened the arterial oxygen partial pressure, and reduced apoptosis and the W/D of the lung. BMSCs promoted autophagy of pulmonary endothelial cells accompanied by decreased p62 and increased LC3 II/I and Beclin‐1. BMSCs increased the levels of miR‐155‐5p in VILI mice. Overexpression of miR‐155‐5p alleviated lung injury in VILI mice following reduced apoptosis and increased autophagy. Finally, TAB2 was identified as a downstream target of miR‐155‐5p and regulated by miR‐155‐5p. BMSCs may protect lung tissues from MV‐induced injury, inhibit lung inflammation, promote autophagy through upregulating of miR‐155‐5p.

AbstractIntroductionEarly intervention studies for adolescents and early adults are required to explore the acceptability and effectiveness of psychological therapies across the full range of personality disorders (PDs) beyond just borderline PD. The main aim of the current paper was to describe a Metacognitive Interpersonal Therapy group adaptation for adolescents (MIT‐GA) presenting with PDs featuring overcontrol and social inhibition, and in particular Avoidant PD characteristics.MethodsWe report findings from a single case of a female adolescent diagnosed with Avoidant PD providing preliminary data on feasibility and the possible effectiveness of MIT‐GA.ResultsEvidence of acceptability and meaningful clinical gains are described.ConclusionsResults suggest that MIT‐GA could be a powerful treatment option in patients with generalized social avoidance who do not currently receive gold‐standard psychotherapeutic treatments. This intervention also appears to be effective and cost‐effective in initiating significant clinical changes in profiles of young patients with non‐borderline PD symptoms.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBackgroundIn Japan, many older people hope to receive end‐of‐life care at home. In such situations, team‐based home medical care with the support of on‐call physicians is needed. However, to date, necessary competencies for the on‐call physicians have yet to be clarified. We aim to reveal the competencies for on‐call physicians in home medical care settings.MethodThis was a qualitative study of semi‐structured interviews concerning competencies for on‐call physicians in home medical care. We evaluated digitally recorded interviews with eight home care professionals in seven home care facilities (three clinics, one hospital, and three nursing agencies) in A City, Japan. The transcribed data were analyzed by three researchers using thematic analysis.ResultsThe competencies for on‐call physicians were divided into the following six categories: clinical skills for frequent complaints, collecting patients' information in advance, understanding purposes of home care, understanding general roles of home care health professionals, thoughtfulness toward patients' families, and an attitude of humility.ConclusionThese competencies were classified into disease‐specific and interpersonal (collaborative) skills in home medical care. The competencies revealed by the study could contribute to the development of effective learning and preparation for on‐call physicians who support home medical care.

AbstractBACKGROUNDNasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is publicly known as a malignant tumor. Our previous study reported that plumbagin exhibits potent anti‐cancer actions. Nevertheless, more mechanical details of plumbagin against NPC remain unknown. The present study aimed to unmask the core targets/genes and anti‐NPC mechanisms involved in the signaling pathways of plumbagin prior to biochemical validation.METHODSA network pharmacology approach was employed to respective identification of mutual and core targets/genes in plumbagin and/treating NPC. Molecular docking determination was used to identify core target proteins for biochemical validation using human and cell line samples.RESULTSIn total, 60 anti‐NPC genes of plumbagin were screened out, and then nine core target genes of plumbagin against NPC were identified accordingly. The enrichment findings revealed detailed biological functions and pharmacological pathways of plumbagin against NPC. Moreover, in silico analysis using molecular docking had determined the core targets for further experimental validation, comprising protein kinase B (AKT1) and sarcoma gene (SRC). In human sample validation, clinical NPC sections showed increased positive expression of AKT1 and SRC. Additionally, plumbagin‐treated NPC cells resulted in inactivated protein expression of AKT1 and SRC.CONCLUSIONThe re‐identified core targets/genes in the molecular docking report may function as plumbagin‐related pharmacological targets for treating NPC via experimental validation. Furthermore, additional anti‐NPC molecular mechanisms of plumbagin action were disclosed on the basis of enrichment findings. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDConsumer demand for plant‐based cheese analogues (PCA) is growing because of the easy and versatile ways in which they can be used. However, the products available on the market are nutritionally poor. They are low in protein, high in saturated fat and sodium, and often characterized by a long list of ingredients.RESULTSA clean label spreadable plant‐based cheese analogue was developed using dry‐fractionated pea protein and an emulsion‐filled gel composed of extra virgin olive oil and inulin, added in different concentrations as fat replacer (10%, 13% and 15% of the formulation). First, nutritional and textural analyses were performed, and the results were compared with two commercial products. The products were high in protein (134 g kg−1) and low in fat (52.2 g kg−1). The formulated PCAs had similar spreadability index to the dairy cheese but lower hardness (15.1 vs. 19.0 N) and a higher elasticity (0.60 vs. 0.35) consequent to their lower fat content (52.2 vs. 250 g kg−1). Then, dry oregano and rosemary (5 g kg−1) were added to the PCA, and sensory evaluation and analysis of volatile compounds were conducted. The addition of spices masked the legume flavor and significantly enriched the final product with aromatic compounds.CONCLUSIONThe use of dry‐fractioned pea protein and of the emulsion‐filled gel allowed us to develop a clean label and nutritionally valuable spreadable plant‐based cheese analogue. Overall, the ingredients and product concepts developed could be used to upgrade the formulation of plant‐based cheese on a larger scale. © 2022 The Authors.

Published: March 2022

AbstractBACKGROUNDProtein percentage and kernel weight affect the endosperm hardness of maize grains. However, changes in starch composition could also modify kernel hardness, which is often predicted through milling ratio. The objective of this work was to evaluate the relationship between changes in starch composition and endosperm hardness, and to assess the effects of protein content and kernel weight on that relationship. For this, we used information obtained from three temperate hybrids in multi‐environmental experiments, as well as experiments conducted under controlled conditions designed to modify starch composition. Milling ratio was determined as maize kernel hardness predictor in both experiments and it was correlated with grain weight and grain composition.RESULTSIn both experiments, milling ratio presented a significant Spearman correlation coefficient with amylose/starch ratio. Milling ratio was significantly related to the amylose/starch ratio using a simple fit with datasets from different experiments and hybrids. Increases in amylose/starch ratio were associated with increases in milling ratio.CONCLUSIONStarch composition was related to milling ratio variations among hybrids of different aptitude for dry milling through different environments, regardless of protein content. Thus, increases in the amylose/starch ratio were related to increases in the milling ratio. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractThe impact of an 8.8 magnitude Chilean earthquake on elementary school students’ psychosocial functioning was assessed along with exposure to adverse childhood experiences (ACEs). Skills for Life, a national school‐based mental health program in Chile, routinely assesses first‐ and third‐grade students’ psychosocial functioning and classroom adaptation. Students (N = 19,627) were screened before (2009) and after (2011) the 2010 earthquake with parent‐ and teacher‐report measures and with a parent‐report of four ACEs (family psychopathology, child chronic illness, family social isolation, father absence). Earthquake exposure was categorized as mild, moderate, or severe for Chile's 15 regions. Multilevel models analyzed the unadjusted and adjusted impacts of earthquake exposure and ACEs on functioning while clustering for school‐ and district‐level effects. In covariate‐adjusted models, earthquake exposure and three ACEs were significantly associated with worsened psychosocial functioning; earthquake exposure and all four ACEs were significantly associated with worsened classroom adaptation. New family psychopathology, B = 1.90, p < .001; chronic illness, B = 2.25, p < .001; and severe earthquake impact, B = 1.29, p < .001, held the strongest negative effects on psychosocial well‐being. Moderate, B = 3.04, p = .011, and severe earthquake exposure, B = 2.53, p = .047, and new family psychopathology, B = 1.99, p < .001, were associated with the worst classroom functioning 1‐year postdisaster. Findings suggest that both exogenous and home‐based stressors can have significant consequences for children's psychosocial functioning and classroom adaptation, and routine screening helps quantify how individual students are affected by chronic versus acute stressors.

ObjectivesPreoperative localization of pathological parathyroid glands with imaging is essential for focused unilateral neck exploration and minimally invasive techniques. Recently published studies suggested that contrast‐enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) had high accuracy in the localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands, with a general increase in the sensitivity as compared to conventional sonography. The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of CEUS in the localization of parathyroid lesions relating to surgical and histopathological data, in comparison to color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS), in the same series of patients.MethodsRecords of 142 patients who underwent parathyroidectomy were retrospectively examined comparing imaging and intraoperative/histopathologic findings.ResultsThe overall sensitivity of CEUS was 77.6% compared with 74.6% for CDUS, although no significative differences were found (P = .516). Conversely, CDUS has shown higher sensitivity than CEUS in the group of patients with associated thyroid pathology but there was no statistical difference (P = .529). The sensitivity for detection of multiple adenomas was the same for both procedures.ConclusionsWe found no significative superior sensitivity of CEUS also in case of concomitant thyroid pathology and multiple glands disease.
