Authors: Xia Defeng , Sun Jingru , Zhang Congcong , Zhang Yiying 
Published: December 2022

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between organizational commitment and turnover intention, and to test the mediating effect of perceived insider status, and moderating effect of gender on that relationship.MethodologyData were collected using a questionnaire survey method from 820 temporary employees of government agencies working in China. The data obtained were analyzed according to the moderated mediation.FindingsAs a result of the analysis, it was determined that perceived insider status has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention. Also, the results supported the moderated mediation and showed that the indirect effect of organizational commitment and turnover intention through perceived insider status was weaker for males than females. Then, the theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

BackgroundMounting studies have reported altered neuroimaging features in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). However, little is known about changes in degree centrality (DC) as an effective diagnostic method for GAD. Therefore, we aimed to explore the abnormality of DCs and whether these features can be used in the diagnosis of GAD.MethodsForty-one GAD patients and 45 healthy controls participated in the study. Imaging data were analyzed using DC and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) methods.ResultsCompared with the control group, increased DC values in bilateral cerebellum and left middle temporal gyrus (MTG), and decreased DC values in the left medial frontal orbital gyrus (MFOG), fusiform gyrus (FG), and bilateral posterior cingulate cortex (PCC). The ROC results showed that the DC value of the left MTG could serve as a potential neuroimaging marker with high sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing patients from healthy controls.ConclusionOur findings demonstrate that abnormal DCs in the left MTG can be observed in GAD, highlighting the importance of GAD pathophysiology.

BackgroundSince our previous investigation on the effects of trace lithium, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and arachidonic acid (AA) on deliberate self-harm and suicide attempts in 2018, to our knowledge, no replication study has been conducted on this topic.Subjects and methodsWe increased 37 new patients and totally 234 patients were re-analyzed to further investigate the association of suicide-related behaviors with levels of trace lithium, EPA, DHA, and AA in a different way to avoid multicollinearity.ResultsHigher lithium levels were significantly associated with fewer suicide attempts and deliberate self-harm, higher EPA levels were significantly associated with fewer deliberate self-harm, and higher AA levels were significantly associated with more deliberate self-harm.DiscussionAlthough the sample size was only slightly larger than the previous study, the present results were clearly different from the previous ones due to the use of different statistical analyses to avoid multicollinearity.ConclusionThe present findings suggest that naturally absorbed lithium may protect against suicide and deliberate self-harm, while naturally absorbed EPA may protect against deliberate self-harm. However, naturally absorbed AA may be a risk factor for deliberate self-harm.

Published: December 2022

IntroductionInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) have been employed widely in Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems training programs. However, it is necessary to investigate the influence and workers characteristics to ensure effectiveness. The study presents the relationship between demographic characterization and learning styles with the satisfaction and approval of a training course for teachers through virtual modality and the incidence in accident indicators of an educational institution.MethodsAnalytical and longitudinal study. In 2019, 385 teachers participated in a virtual course on falls prevention. Learning styles were surveyed and records of teachers' entrance and approval of the course were consolidated. The evaluation of the course by teachers was reviewed and the behavior of accident frequency and severity indicators were analyzed comparing 2018 and 2019. To determine significant relationships, Cramer's V was applied for learning styles and demographic characteristics with access and course approval. ANOVA was applied for the demographic variables and the evaluation given by teachers to the course. T-test was used to compare the average values of the indicators for the period 2018–2019.Results and discussionStatistical relationships were found between the predominant learning style and access (P &lt; 0.01) and approval (P &lt; 0.01). Educational level of the population with access (P &lt; 0.05) and course approval (P &lt; 0.01). In addition to the age range and the rating given to the methodology applied in the course (P &lt; 0.05). No differences were found between the values of the indicators. By identifying significant relationships between learning styles and demographic characteristics of the working population and the use of virtual learning environments, it is important to continue researching the influence of workers' characteristics and didactic methodologies for the design of virtual learning environments that encourage workers to follow safe procedures during their work.

BackgroundThe changing trends and risk-attributed burdens of kidney cancer in China are unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to describe the latest status and trends of kidney cancer burden in China and its associated risk factors.MethodsThe absolute numbers and rates of the incidence, deaths, and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) of kidney cancer in China were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2019 platform. Overall burden and burden attributed to smoking and high body mass index (BMI) were described. Average annual percent change (AAPC) was calculated to describe trend analyses from 1990 to 2019 using the Joinpoint regression program.ResultsIn 2019, 59,827 new cases, 23,954 deaths, and 642,799 DALYs of kidney cancer occurred in China, of which men accounted for 71.1, 70.5, and 72.0%, and the population aged ≥55 years accounted for 58.9, 77.9, and 60.1%, of new cases, deaths, and DALYs, respectively. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate (per 100,000 person-years) increased from 1.16 in 1990 to 3.21 in 2019, with an AAPC of 3.4% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.1–3.8%, p &lt; 0.05); the mortality rate increased from 0.70 to 1.27, with an AAPC of 2.1% (1.5–2.3%, p &lt; 0.05); and the DALY rate increased from 0.70 to 1.27, with an AAPC of 2.1% (1.5–2.3%, p &lt; 0.05). In 2019, the proportions of DALYs attributed to smoking and high BMI were 18.0% and 11.1%, respectively, and the DALY rates attributed to both smoking and high BMI increased from 1990 to 2019, with AAPC of 2.9% (2.6–3.3%, p &lt; 0.05) and 4.8% (4.2–5.4%, p &lt; 0.05), respectively.ConclusionThe kidney cancer burden in China has continued to grow over the recent three decades, with a severe burden among older adults and men. Therefore, timely preventive interventions for modifiable risk factors are required.

ObjectiveTo determine the diagnostic accuracy of serological tests for coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).MethodsPubMed, Embase and the Cochrane Library were searched from January 1 2020 to September 2 2022. We included studies that measured the sensitivity, specificity or both qualities of a COVID-19 serological test and a reference standard of a viral culture or reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT–PCR). The risk of bias was assessed by using quality assessment of diagnostic accuracy studies 2 (QUADAS-2). The primary outcomes included overall sensitivity and specificity, as stratified by the methods of serological testing [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs), lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs) or chemiluminescent immunoassays (CLIAs)] and immunoglobulin classes (IgG, IgM, or both). Secondary outcomes were stratum-specific sensitivity and specificity within the subgroups, as defined by study or participant characteristics, which included the time from the onset of symptoms, testing via commercial kits or an in-house assay, antigen target, clinical setting, serological kit as the index test and the type of specimen for the RT–PCR reference test.ResultsEight thousand seven hundred and eighty-five references were identified and 169 studies included. Overall, we judged the risk of bias to be high in 47.9 % (81/169) of the studies, and a low risk of applicability concerns was found in 100% (169/169) of the studies. For each method of testing, the pooled sensitivity of the ELISAs ranged from 81 to 82%, with sensitivities ranging from 69 to 70% for the LFIAs and 77% to 79% for the CLIAs. Among the evaluated tests, IgG (80–81%)-based tests exhibited better sensitivities than IgM-based tests (66–68%). IgG/IgM-based CLIA had the highest sensitivity [87% (86–88%)]. All of the tests displayed high specificity (97–98%). Heterogeneity was observed in all of the analyses. The detection of nucleocapsid protein (77–80%) as the antigen target was found to offer higher sensitivity results than surface protein detection (66–68%). Sensitivity was higher in the in-house assays (78–79%) than in the commercial kits (47–48%).ConclusionAmong the evaluated tests, ELISA and CLIA tests performed better in terms of sensitivity than did the LFIA. IgG-based tests had higher sensitivity than IgM-based tests, and combined IgG/IgM test-based CLIA tests had the best overall diagnostic test accuracy. The type of sample, serological kit and timing of use of the specific tests were associated with the diagnostic accuracy. Due to the limitations of the serological tests, other techniques should be quickly approved to provide guidance for the correct diagnosis of COVID-19.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundThe new coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has been relatively less lethal in children; however, poor prognosis and mortality has been associated with factors such as access to health services. Mexico remained on the list of the ten countries with the highest case fatality rate (CFR) in adults. It is of interest to know the behavior of COVID-19 in the pediatric population. The aim of this study was to identify clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with mortality due to COVID-19 in pediatric patients.ObjectiveUsing National open data and information from the Ministry of Health, Mexico, this cohort study aimed to identify clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with COVID-19 mortality in pediatric patients.MethodA cohort study was designed based on National open data from the Ministry of Health, Mexico, for the period April 2020 to January 2022, and included patients under 18 years of age with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection. Variables analyzed were age, health services used, and comorbidities (obesity, diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular disease, immunosuppression, high blood pressure, and chronic kidney disease). Follow-up duration was 60 days, and primary outcomes were death, hospitalization, and requirement of intensive care. Statistical analysis included survival analysis, prediction models created using the Cox proportional hazards model, and Kaplan-Meier estimation curves.ResultsThe cohort included 261,099 cases with a mean age of 11.2 ± 4 years, and of these, 11,569 (4.43%) were hospitalized and 1,028 (0.39%) died. Variables associated with risk of mortality were age under 12 months, the presence of comorbidities, health sector where they were treated, and first wave of infection.ConclusionBased on data in the National database, we show that the pediatric fatality rate due to SARS-CoV-2 is similar to that seen in other countries. Access to health services and distribution of mortality were heterogeneous. Vulnerable groups were patients younger than 12 months and those with comorbidities.

Published: December 2022

BackgroundOne of the most critical functions of the fetal membranes is to remain intact until the onset of labor to maintain the protective intrauterine fluid environment. In most pregnancies, spontaneous rupture usually occurs near the end of the first stage of labor. Preterm premature membrane rupture (PROM) occurs when the fetal membrane ruptures before 37 weeks of pregnancy, and it contributes to adverse maternal, fetal, and neonatal outcomes. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the association of determinant factors with adverse perinatal outcomes.MethodsA prospective cohort study was conducted on pregnant women with preterm premature membrane rupture (n = 160) attending the teaching hospitals at Addis Ababa University. Socio-demographic and obstetric risk factors with adverse perinatal outcomes include the 5th minute Apgar score, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission, early-onset neonatal sepsis (EONS), respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), perinatal mortality, Chorioamnionitis, and placental abruption were assessed. SPSS version 24,t-test,χ2test, and logistic regression analysis were used.P-values &lt;0.25 in the bivariate andp &lt; 0.05 in the multiple logistic regression were considered statistically significant.ResultsThe preterm (PROM) rate was 2.2% with perinatal mortality rate of 206/1,000. Gestational age (GA) at delivery was the determinate for low Apgar score at the 5th minute (AOR: 7.23; 95% CI, 1.10, 47.6;p = 0.04). Unable to use steroid (AOR: 8.23; 95% CI, 1.83, 37.0;p = 0.000), GA at membrane rupture (AOR: 4.61; 95% CI, 1.98, 31.8;p = 0.000) and delivery (AOR: 4.32; 95% CI, 1.99, 30.9;p = 0.000) were determinates for NICU admission. EONS was significantly affected by GA at membrane rupture (AOR: 5.9; 95% CI, 1.01, 37.0;p = 0.04). Placental abruption was significantly affected by GA at delivery (AOR: 7.52; 95% CI, 1.15, 48.96;p = 0.04).ConclusionGA at membrane rupture and delivery was the most critical predictors of adverse perinatal outcomes. Local guidelines on the approach and preterm PROM outcome management need to be prepared.

Published: December 2022

Many root diseases can cause serious damage to tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) production during the seedling growth period, particularly Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium spp., and Alternaria spp. Paclobutrazol (PBZ) has proved to reduce the damage of the Alternaria blight disease on tomato seedlings. The present investigation was designated to evaluate the growth of infected tomato seedlings with R. solani under applications of Trichoderma harzianum alone, PBZ alone, both PBZ and T. harzianum, and comparing with applied fungicide. PBZ enhanced the chlorophyll system in tomato seedlings, enzymatic antioxidants, and the total antioxidants, besides the vegetative parameters. The combined application of both PBZ and Trichoderma significantly improved growth parameters, decreased the damping off percent of R. solani, as well as increased the enzymatic antioxidants and the total antioxidants of tomato seedlings. It was found that applying 100 mg L−1 PBZ did not affect the effectiveness of the biocontrol agent of T. harzianum. The images of the scanning electron microscope (SEM) confirm that PBZ showed twisting, shrinking, and collapsing of lysis and hyphae in cultures of R. solani. This is the first report that confirms the biochemical control of R. solani on tomato seedlings using the combined application of PBZ and T. harzianum. Further studies are still needed to test more Trichoderma species and different phytopathogens.

Published: December 2022

In this study, the effect of moisture on the elastic and failure properties of elastomeric polyurethane (EPU 40) 3D printed via Vat Photopolymerization was investigated. EPU 40 samples were printed, and uniaxial tensile tests were performed on Dry-fresh, Dry-aged (eight months aged), and after various times of being immersed in water (0–8 months). Elastic response, initial stiffness, failure strength, and failure elongation were analyzed. Besides, gravimetric analysis was performed to determine the increase in weight and thickness after water immersion. The elastic response was fitted by the Arruda-Boyce constitutive model. Results show that initial stiffness decreased after immersion (mean 6.8 MPa dry vs. 6.3 MPa immersed p-value 0.002). Contrary, the initial stiffness increased due to physical aging under a dry state from a mean 6.3 MPa to 6.9 MPa (p = 0.006). The same effect was observed for stiffness parameter G of the constitutive model, while the limit stretch parameter λL was not affected by either aging. The 95% confidence intervals for strength and failure stretch were 5.27–9.48 MPa and 2.18–2.86, respectively, and were not affected either by immersion time or by physical aging. The median diffusion coefficient was 3.8·10−12 m^2/s. The immersion time has a significant effect only on stiffness, while oxidative aging has an inverse effect on the mechanical properties compared to water immersion. The transition process is completed within 24 h after immersion.
La « tribe » et les centres sociaux italiens occupés et autogérés
Authors: Lapassade Georges 
Published: December 2022

Les centres sociaux italiens - dont on a beaucoup parlé à propos des manifestations de Gênes, en 2001, contre la mondialisation - sont des lieux occupés et autogérés par des militants d'extrême gauche ainsi que par des jeunes «alternatifs» (type néo-hippie notamment), et la multiplicité des courants fait que leur coexistence donne parfois lieu à des tensions.
Cela est illustré par une brève enquête menée par l'auteur auprès du centre social de Rimini. Les résultats de cette enquête sont confrontés à ceux qui sont issus d'une recherche-action effectuée par Renato Curcio dans un centre social de Turin.
Espoirs et embûches de la Terre promise. Les premiers pas des élus en Amérique

Hopes and Pitfalls of the Promised Land : The first Steps of the chosen People in America
This article evokes within the framework of the birth of the United States as a «promised-nation», the incarnation in the new continent of the antique Greek, Hebrew and Christian myths of a place where humanity was to await the goal of its eteternal quest, that of happiness here on earth or in another world. The article deais with the manner in which this notion was experienced by the populations which settled in North America between the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, starting with the English colonisation up until the birth of the nation which claimed such a myth. It also raises the question of the realisation of this promise and of the way in which the universality that it implied bas been sufficiently credible today for certain extremists who consider themselves avengers of a suffering humanity, so as to violently confront the country which claims its adherence to the Promise, all the while reproaching it with having betrayed it. At the same time, they are seeking to destroy that Promise so that they can put into effect another promise that sounds similar to the former but in fact is its complete opposite. In this article we remind the reader that this promise was not fulfilled completely nor for all ; the place of the Promise was confiscated from its original inhabitants ; at the same time, workers were imported there and were subjugated. Thus, for certain people, the Promised Land was a mirage which was forever moving back out of reach : for others, the new continent was a gehenna. A small number were successful beyond all possible imaginings in creating the illusion that in this place occurred the happy achievement of the eternal quest of the human race.

Polémiques autour du "français réfugié" parlé à Berlin à la fin du XVIIIe siècle

Elfrancés «refugiado».
Supervivencia de la lengua y polémicas en el Berlin del final del siglo XVIII. Cien años despues de la anulación del Edicto de Nantes, los descendientes de los protestantes franceses refugiados en Brandenburgo, Prusia, son considerados aún como ciudadanos privilegiados. Los dirigentes de la iglésia y de la colonia, auque prusianos de corazón y fieles subditos del gran Federico, hablan y publican mayormente en francés. Esto no se explica solamente por el prestigio europeo de este idioma en el siglo XVIII sino tambien por el apego constante a las raices : gracias a la persistencia del idioma, perpetuan el recuerdo de ventajas recibidas y transmitidas por los antepasados en el momento de la llegada al pais. Por ello se sien ten inquietos por los inevitables signos de asimilación dentro de la colonia de huguenotes. La tercera generación, cuando no lo olvida completamente, se expresa mayoritariamente en un francés adulterado. Voltaire se habia mofado de esta manera de hablar criticada además por los linguistas franceses. Las cartas conservadas de la colonia indican que reaccionan vigorosamente y lo defienden, mas allá del probléma linguistico propia mente dicho, porque lo que esta en juego es la defensa de un estatuto social privilegiado. Es el combate de retaguardia de una comunidad con una fuerte identidad cultural, enraizada en su propia história y que no quiere desaparecer.
