The paradoxical effects of social class on career adaptability: The role of intolerance of uncertainty
Authors: Wang Ruimeng , Lin Xinqi , Wang Le 
Published: December 2022

IntroductionAs a growth background factor, family social class has far-reaching effects on youth career development. However, we have limited understanding of the role and functional mechanisms of social class in career adaptability. Based on the social cognitive theory of social class, we examine the mediating role of intolerance of uncertainty in the relationship between youths’ subjective social class and career adaptability. We also explore the moderating influences of self-esteem.MethodsData were collected from a sample consisting of 712 undergraduates (63.2% female) in China.ResultsResults show that subjective social class positively impacts career adaptability via prospective anxiety, and negatively impacts career adaptability via inhibitory anxiety. The intensity of these indirect relationships is contingent on youths’ self-esteem.DiscussionOur study illustrates the complex and paradoxical effects of social class on career adaptability and has important theoretical and practical implications. This study expands the theoretical perspective by bringing in the social cognitive theory of social class, provides novel insight into the complex interaction between individuals and the environment in youth career development, and should provide inspiration for the design of career intervention programs.

Published: December 2022

ObjectiveWe investigated regional disparities in rates of scoliosis among adolescents in western and eastern China and the dominant factors underlying these disparities.MethodsThis cross-sectional study used data from a school scoliosis screening program conducted in two typical areas: Yangpu District of Shanghai (eastern China) and Tianzhu Tibetan Autonomous County of Gansu Province (western China), during October 2020 to February 2021. Participants included adolescents aged 12–16 years (4,240 in Shanghai and 2,510 in Gansu Province). School scoliosis screening data were obtained on age, sex, height, weight and BMI, and region as well. We screened angles of trunk rotation in level of proximal thoracic (T1–T4), main thoracic (T5–T12), and lumbar (T12–L4) by the forward bend test with scoliometer. An angle of trunk rotation ≥5° was used as the criterion to identify suspected scoliosis.ResultsThe proportion of suspected scoliosis was lower in Shanghai (6.9%) than in Gansu (8.6%). Angle of trunk rotation tended to increase with age in Shanghai, peaking at 15 years, but decreased with age in Gansu, and bottomed at 15 years. The angle of trunk rotation in the proximal thoracic, main thoracic, and lumbar part of the spine appeared to be larger in Gansu adolescents and in Shanghai female adolescents. Age was a relevant factor in angle trunk rotation in regression models and interacted with region as well.ConclusionWe found regional and age- and sex-related disparities in rates of suspected scoliosis.
Drivers of high-cost persistence in rural China: A population-based retrospective study
Authors: Wang Chenzhou , Lu Shan , Zhang Yan 
Published: December 2022

PurposeHigh-cost patients account for over 70% of total health expenditures in rural China and have become a key focus of health insurers. Persistently high-cost patients constitute a substantial proportion of medical resources. Hence, exploring high-cost persistence (HCP) and what drives it is considered meaningful and necessary.Patients and methodsA population-based retrospective study was carried out. The annual healthcare utilization data of Dangyang New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme from 2012 to 2017 were analyzed. Patients in the top 10% of spending in a given year were considered high-cost patients. Persistence level was estimated using Markov matrices. A total of 19,405 patients categorized as high-cost patients in 2016 were divided into two groups according to whether or not they kept high-cost status in 2017. Finally, a multilevel logistic regression model was used in examining the determinants of HCP.ResultsOn average, about 31.48% of high-cost patients each year still maintained high-cost status in the subsequent year from 2012 to 2017. The elderly (OR = 2.150), families with more non-labor members (OR = 2.307), families applying for subsistence allowances (OR = 1.245), and patients with blood and immune diseases (OR = 2.614) or malignant tumors (OR = 2.077) were more likely to maintain high-cost status. Hospitalization frequency was found to be a mediator.ConclusionAbout one-third of high-cost patients in a given year had persistently high cost status in the subsequent year. Health status and family support were considered the main drivers of HCP. High inpatient service utilization as a mediator was a prominent manifestation of persistently high-cost patients. The accurate identification of persistently high-cost patients is the basis for our management.

ObjectiveEndoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal surgery is an established technique for the resection of sellar and suprasellar lesions. The approach is technically challenging and has a steep learning curve. Simulation is a growing training tool, allowing the acquisition of technical skills pre-clinically and potentially resulting in a shorter clinical learning curve. We sought validation of the UpSurgeOn Transsphenoidal (TNS) Box for the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary fossa.MethodsNovice, intermediate and expert neurosurgeons were recruited from multiple centres. Participants were asked to perform a sphenoidotomy using the TNS model. Face and content validity were evaluated using a post-task questionnaire. Construct validity was assessed through post-hoc blinded scoring of operative videos using a Modified Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (mOSAT) and a Task-Specific Technical Skill scoring system.ResultsFifteen participants were recruited of which n = 10 (66.6%) were novices and n = 5 (33.3%) were intermediate and expert neurosurgeons. Three intermediate and experts (60%) agreed that the model was realistic. All intermediate and experts (n = 5) strongly agreed or agreed that the TNS model was useful for teaching the endonasal transsphenoidal approach to the pituitary fossa. The consensus-derived mOSAT score was 16/30 (IQR 14–16.75) for novices and 29/30 (IQR 27–29) for intermediate and experts (p &lt; 0.001, Mann–Whitney U). The median Task-Specific Technical Skill score was 10/20 (IQR 8.25–13) for novices and 18/20 (IQR 17.75–19) for intermediate and experts (p &lt; 0.001, Mann-Whitney U). Interrater reliability was 0.949 (CI 0.983–0.853) for OSATS and 0.945 (CI 0.981–0.842) for Task-Specific Technical Skills. Suggested improvements for the model included the addition of neuro-vascular anatomy and arachnoid mater to simulate bleeding vessels and CSF leak, respectively, as well as improvement in materials to reproduce the consistency closer to that of human tissue and bone.ConclusionThe TNS Box simulation model has demonstrated face, content, and construct validity as a simulator for the endoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal approach. With the steep learning curve associated with endoscopic approaches, this simulation model has the potential as a valuable training tool in neurosurgery with further improvements including advancing simulation materials, dynamic models (e.g., with blood flow) and synergy with complementary technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence and augmented reality).
How Migration Status Shapes Susceptibility of Individuals’ Loneliness to Social Isolation
Authors: Löbel Lea-Maria , Kröger Hannes , Tibubos Ana Nanette 
Published: December 2022

Objectives: Our research provides competing hypotheses and empirical evidence how associations between objectively social isolation and subjective loneliness differ between host populations, migrants, and refugees.Methods: The analysis uses data of 25,171 participants from a random sample of the German population (SOEP v.35). We estimate regression models for the host population, migrants, and refugees and test five hypotheses on the association between social isolation and loneliness using a Bayesian approach in a multiverse framework.Results: We find the strongest relative support for an increased need for social inclusion among refugees, indicated by a higher Bayes factor compared to the hosts and migrants. However, all theoretically developed hypotheses perform poorly in explaining the major pattern in our data: The association of social isolation and loneliness is persistently lower for migrants (0.15 SD−0.29 SD), with similar sizes of associations for refugees and the host population (0.38 SD−0.67 SD).Conclusion: The migration history must be actively considered in health service provision and support programs to better cater to the needs of the different groups.

Published: December 2022

Potatoes are among the four most important staple crops worldwide. Verticillium wilt in potatoes caused by Verticillium dahliae is a devastating disease that is difficult to control. To identify potential avenues for disease control, the pathogenicity of 72 V. dahliae isolates was tested here. We also tested the resistance to the most virulent isolate (Vd-36) induced by the attenuated isolate Gibellulopsis nigrescens Vn-1 in potatoes. Induction of Verticillium wilt resistance in potatoes was strongest when using attenuated isolate Vn-1 to inoculate potatoes with a spore suspension concentration of 1 × 106 conidia mL−1, followed by infection with isolate Vd-36 at 5 d intervals. After incubation of potatoes with the attenuated isolate Vn-1 followed by isolate Vd-36, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) were produced and accumulated in potato leaves 12 h post-inoculation. The changes in respective defense enzymes, except phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, were consistent with the changes in ROS and H2O2 levels. Furthermore, the content of salicylic acid (SA) in inoculated plants was higher than that in the control, and biosynthesis-related genes StNPR1, StPR1b, StPR2, StPR5 were activated. However, there was no significant difference in the jasmonic acid and ethylene (JA/ET) content between the treatment and control groups. These results demonstrated that the attenuated isolate Vn-1 enhanced resistance to Verticillium wilt by inducing the SA signalling pathway and weakly activating the JA/ET signalling pathways in potatoes.
Ciliate Microtubule Diversities: Insights from the EFBTU3 Tubulin in the Antarctic Ciliate Euplotes focardii

Published: December 2022

Protozoans of the Phylum Ciliophora (ciliates) assemble many diverse microtubular structures in a single cell throughout the life cycle, a feature that made them useful models to study microtubule complexity and the role of tubulin isotypes. In the Antarctic ciliate Euplotes focardii we identified five β-tubulin isotypes by genome sequencing, named EFBTU1, EFBTU2, EFBTU3, EFBTU4 and EFBTU5. By using polyclonal antibodies directed against EFBTU2/EFBTU1 and EFBTU3, we show that the former isotypes appear to be involved in the formation of all microtubular structures and are particularly abundant in cilia, whereas the latter specifically localizes at the bases of cilia. By RNA interference (RNAi) technology, we silenced the EFBTU3 gene and provided evidence that this isotype has a relevant role in cilia regeneration upon deciliation and in cell division. These results support the long-standing concept that tubulin isotypes possess functional specificity in building diverse microtubular structures.

Published: December 2022

<p>Since Newton's Law for Gravitational Fields (G) applies to static reference frames, and is NOT Lorentz invariant like Maxwell's Equations, we correct it by adding in a Motional Field (S) so F=m/o\ [G + v x S]. Then we unify Gravitation and Electromagnetism by using an Expanded Newton's Law for Gravitation using Complex Masses, where the complex part is charge associated with the mass.</p>
Open Mind Neuromodulation Interface for the CorTec Brain Interchange (OMNI-BIC): an investigational distributed research platform for next-generation clinical neuromodulation research
Authors: Cho Hanbin , G. Ojemann Jeffrey , Herron Jeffrey 
Published: December 2022

<p>The rise of adaptive stimulation approaches has shown great therapeutic promise in the growing field of neuromodulation. The discovery and growth of these novel adaptive stimulation paradigms has been largely concentrated around several implantable devices with research application programming interfaces (APIs) that allow for custom applications to be created for clinical neuromodulation studies. However, the sunsetting of devices and ongoing development of new platforms is leading to an increased fragmentation in the research environment- resulting in the reinvention of system features and the inability to leverage previous development efforts for future studies. The Open Mind Neuromodulation Interface (OMNI) is a previously proposed solution to address the weaknesses of the DLL-driven API approach of past neuromodulation research by utilizing an alternative gRPC-enabled microservice framework. Here, we introduce OMNI-BIC, an implementation of the OMNI framework to the CorTec Brain Interchange system. This paper describes the design and implementation of the OMNI-BIC software tools and demonstrates the framework’s capabilities for implementing customized neuromodulation therapies for clinical investigations. Through the development and deployment of the OMNI-BIC system, we hope to improve future clinical studies with the Brain Interchange system and aid in continuing the growth and momentum of the exciting field of adaptive neuromodulation. </p>
