Published: June 2022

AbstractThe internal surface of food and beverage cans is generally covered with polymeric coatings to preserve food and protect metal substrate from corrosion. Coating materials are complex formulations that contain different starting substances (e.g., monomers, prepolymers, additives, etc.) and in addition during the manufacture of the material several compounds can be formed (e.g., reaction products, degradation products, etc.). These substances have the potential to migrate into the food. Many of them have not been identified and only some have been toxicologically evaluated. This article aims to provide a comprehensive review on the analytical methods used for the identification of potential migrants in can coatings. The migration and exposure to chemicals migrating from can coatings are also reviewed and discussed so far, which is essential for risk assessment. Moreover, a brief section on the current status of the legislation on varnishes and coatings for food contact in Europe is also presented. Liquid chromatography coupled to diode array and fluorescence detectors and particularly to mass spectrometry and gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry seem to be the techniques of choice for the identification of potential migrants in can coatings. Some studies have reported migration levels of BPA (bisphenol A) and BADGE (bisphenol A diglycidyl ether) and derivatives exceeding the specific migration limits set in the European legislation. On the whole, low dietary exposure to migrants from can coatings has been reported. However, it is interesting to highlight that in these studies the combined exposure to multiple chemicals has not been considered.

Published: June 2022

SummaryData about which factors in lifestyle interventions facilitate weight loss (WL) success in men is still scarce. The Football Fans in Training (FFIT) programme in Germany attracts men with overweight and facilitates meaningful weight reduction. The goal of this study was to evaluate the possible impact of the fans' emotional attachment to their favourite football clubs on achieving at least 5% WL among the male‐only participants. All 791 FFIT intervention participants of 2017 and 2018 were included in the study. We performed two separate logistic regression analyses: (a) baseline values of several participant characteristics as predictors of a 5% WL and (b) change scores of participants' health behaviour characteristics from the course start to end as predictors of the 5% WL. In addition, both models included the Emotional Attachment to a Sports Team (EAST). Analyses were based on the intention‐to‐treat principle. Higher EAST at baseline was associated with WL success, as was higher WL self‐efficacy, lower score in vegetable intake and higher score in food high on carbohydrates. In the second analysis, EAST, an increase in fruit intake, vegetable intake, whole‐grain intake and steps per day, as well as a reduction of fatty food intake, were associated with 5% WL success. The predictors are mostly explorative and limited to correlations. The results indicate that EAST was an independent predictor of WL success in the participating football fans. This understanding might be used for tailoring future interventions in sports or similar settings.

AbstractObjectivesTo present a review on the pathogenesis, risk factor and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with osteoporosis and provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment.Data sourceA systematic search is carried out using keywords as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoporosis, risk factors, and pulmonary rehabilitation.ResultsPatients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease have a high prevalence of osteoporosis and a high risk of fracture. The mechanisms of osteoporosis in COPD patients are associated with general risk factors, such as smoking, reduced physical activity, low weight, and disease‐specific risk factors, such as systemic inflammatory, Vitamin D deficiency, use of glucocorticoid, anemia, hypoxemia, and hypercapnia. The treatment of osteoporosis in COPD emphasizes comprehensive intervention, which mainly include basic treatment and anti‐osteoporosis drugs. Noticeably, pulmonary rehabilitation program is an important part of treatment.ConclusionsThis work summarizes the pathogenesis, risk factor, prevention, and treatment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease complicated with osteoporosis, and the latest progress of studies on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoporosis is discussed.

Published: June 2022

AbstractAimsThe purpose of this study was to assess the clinical performance and user acceptance of capillary blood samples prepared remotely using the MiniCollect® capillary blood collection device as an alternative to blood collection by venepuncture for glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) analysis.MethodsFollowing written informed consent, a cross‐sectional study was conducted in individuals aged ≥18 years with any type of diabetes who routinely self‐monitor their blood glucose. Eligible participants recruited whilst attending their routine clinical appointments were required to provide a venous blood sample, prepare a capillary blood sample at home (remotely) and complete a bespoke questionnaire. HbA1c in whole blood collected in ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was determined by capillary electrophoresis on the Sebia Capillary's 3 Tera analyser following standard operating procedure.ResultsHbA1c results from both venous and capillary collection demonstrated good agreement. Passing‐Bablok regression: y = 0 + 1x (p = 0.18), Spearman correlation r = 0.986, p < 0.0001. The Bland–Altman difference plot provided a mean difference of 0.3 mmol/mol (2.2%). Over half of the participants found the MiniCollect device easy to use. The majority of participants were in favour of the remote capillary blood collection service and would use it if routinely available.ConclusionThe home collection of capillary blood for HbA1c determination is a valuable and convenient alternative to standard venous blood collection as it provides an opportunity to support routine HbA1c monitoring, whilst mitigating the transmission of SARS‐CoV‐2. This service would additionally allow individuals to attend clinic visits with a HbA1c value, ensuring optimal continuance of patient care for individuals with diabetes.

Published: June 2022

AbstractThe common dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus, is an important and widespread fishing resource in tropical and subtropical latitudes. It harbors a diverse array of parasitic copepods, but data on their infection indices are quite limited worldwide. We analyzed its parasitic copepod community and infection indices based on the examination of 615 individuals of C. hippurus landed monthly on the coast of Ecuador, over a period of 1 year. Both the opercular cavities and gills of the sampled fish were examined for parasitic copepods, of which nine taxa were recorded: Brachiella quaternia, Caligus belones, C. bonito, C. coryphaenae, C. productus, Euryphorus brachypterus, E. nordmannii, Lepeophtheirus sp., and Lernaeenicus sp. The finding of five of these species (i.e., B. quaternia, C. belones, C. productus, E. brachypterus, and E. nordmannii) represents new geographic records. C. bonito showed the highest prevalence (83%), mean abundance (5.46 ± 4.99), and mean intensity (6.57 ± 4.99), followed by B. quaternia (prevalence = 32%, mean abundance = 1.89 ± 5.66, mean intensity = 5.89 ± 5.71). The infection indices of C. bonito decreased with increasing host length and were higher in females than in males. The parasitic copepod community of common dolphinfish in this study was similar to communities in other parts of its geographic distributional range, including the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Eastern Pacific, consistently dominated by a generalist parasitic species. This is the first and most detailed quantitative evaluation of the parasitic copepods associated with the dolphinfish and updates the extant parasitological data for this host.

Abstract

Aims
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial effect of sophorolipids in combination with palmarosa essential oil and to develop a cosmetic formulation against acne-causing bacteria.

Methods and Results
The antibacterial activity of sophorolipids, palmarosa oil and their combined effect was evaluated by broth microdilution and checkerboard methods. Antioxidant activity was determined by the DPPH method. The results showed that the compounds presented antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The combination of sophorolipid and palmarosa oil resulted in synergistic and additive interaction reducing the concentration needed for the effectiveness against S. aureus and S. epidermidis, to 98.4% and 50%, respectively. The compounds interaction showed an additive effect for antioxidant activity. The cosmetic formulation without any chemical preservative presents antibacterial activity against S. aureus, S. epidermidis and Cutibacterium acnes. The pH values and organoleptic characteristics of formulations remained stable under all conditions tested.

Conclusions
The association of sophorolipids and palmarosa oil resulted in a self-preserving cosmetic formulation with great stability, and effective antioxidant and antibacterial activities against acne-causing micro-organisms.

Significance and Impact of the Study
This study showed the development of an effective multifunctional cosmetic formulation with natural preservatives to treat acne vulgaris and other skin infections.
The didactic and pedagogical design of e‐learning in higher education: A systematic literature review

Published: June 2022

AbstractBackgroundSince about 2010 e‐learning has been embedded in educational practice and has become, surely due to the Covid‐19 pandemic, increasingly important.ObjectivesAlthough much has been written about e‐learning, little is known about crucial didactic and pedagogical design principles for e‐learning. This review tried to fill that gap.MethodsBased on a systematic literature review, 42 studies (out of 1857 unique hits) were included that address e‐learning design in higher education. Open and axial coding was used for analysis.Results and conclusionsThere were two continuums distinguished as important for e‐learning: (1) the active learning continuum and (2) the authentic learning continuum. Those continuums appear to be useful to give a visual representation of included studies through an active and authentic learning continuum. This resulted in four clusters with (slightly) different properties. These properties vary from a relatively low to a high level of authenticity, and from teacher to student centred. Analysis also revealed four crucial aspects for e‐learning design: (1) content scaffolding, (2) process scaffolding, (3) peer‐to‐peer learning, and (4) formative strategies. In general, most of the e‐learning approaches demand an educational design that facilitates authentic learning and self‐regulation.TakeawaysTo help practitioners in realizing e‐learning design, this paper will provide some concrete suggestions and tips for e‐learning design. Furthermore, this research shows that more well‐founded research is necessary to gain more insight in didactic and pedagogical design principles for e‐learning.

AbstractStratum corneum (SC) hydration is one of the most important skin biophysical parameters, which is affected by age, sex and anatomic site. We conducted a systematic review and meta‐analysis to provide detailed information on baseline values of SC hydration in healthy human adults, according to the skin area, age and sex. The databases Medline, Embase, Web of Science and Scopus were searched for primary reports, with in vivo corneometry measurements, which were conducted on disease‐free skin of human subjects, aged 18+ years in English. Risk of bias was evaluated using the critical appraisal tools for JBI Systematic Reviews, and only low‐risk studies were selected. The comparison was performed in each skin area between males and females and also between young‐ and middle‐age subjects. Among 323 Retrieved titles, full texts of 259 articles were read, and 240 studies were excluded due to unclear or insufficient reporting of SC hydration, as well as high or medium risk of bias. 19 studies (including 113 records) providing data about SC hydration in 12 skin areas were included in the final data synthesis. Pooled sample sizes ranged from n = 32 for lips to a maximum of n = 3202 for cheeks. The lowest hydration of 12.5 [95% CI 11.05–13.94] was reported for the back, and the highest hydration of 64.34) [95 CI% 62.07–64.59] for the periorbital area. Facial skin showed higher water content compared with other areas. There were also site‐dependent differences in the hydration level of the facial skin. Comparisons between two age groups, and male and female participants, did not show any statistically significant differences. The main limitation was we included studies using only one measurement device. The quality of reporting SC hydration in humans should be increased in future studies.

Published: June 2022

AbstractTo quickly and accurately identify the quality of tomatoes, a method was proposed to predict the total soluble solid content (SSC), total titratable acidity (TA), and vitamin C (VC) content of tomatoes based on a multiregion combined model of the visible–near‐infrared spectrum. The results show that the competitive adaptive re‐weighted sampling algorithm combined with the partial least squares regression (CARS‐PLSR) model has the best prediction effect on SSC, TA, and VC content in “stem + equator”, “stem + bottom” and “stem + bottom” combinations. The prediction accuracy is 97.2%, 96.7%, and 97.7%, respectively, and the relative percent deviation (RPD) value is 5.870, 5.401, and 5.942, respectively.Practical ApplicationThis indicates that the CARS‐PLSR model based on the multiregion combination of visible–near‐infrared spectroscopy is reliable for predicting tomatoes' SSC, TA, and VC content. The results provide a theoretical basis for developing a portable fruit quality detector.
Four types of change and self‐other agreement on change in personality traits during college years: A multi‐informant longitudinal study
Authors: Nguyen Phuong Linh L. , Syed Moin , DeYoung Colin G. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractResearch in personality trait change has largely relied on mean‐level and rank‐order change across the lifespan. The current research expanded the literature in several ways: analyzing four types of change and correlated change patterns, obtaining multi‐informant reports, including lower‐order personality traits, and collecting multiple assessments during a short yet important time for college‐attending emerging adults (baseline N = 259, Mage = 18.79). There was little evidence for mean‐level change, yet participants showed significant individual differences such that rank‐ordering and ipsative profiles were much more dynamic than mean score patterns. Informant‐reports from close others demonstrated largely similar patterns: little to no mean‐level change, significant increase in rank‐ordering, and about half of participants reporting configural change mostly in elevation and scatter rather than in profile shapes. Interestingly, there was no correlated change between self and other‐reports. This indicated that close others do not share individuals' perception of their own personality trait change, at least not in the demographic group studied. By examining individual‐level, sample‐level, and multi‐informant perspectives, our thorough investigation provided useful benchmarks for future research to examine the source of variability in change trajectories.

Published: June 2022

Abstract
Violacein is an important natural antimicrobial pigment that is mainly produced by Chromobacterium violaceum and Janthinobacterium lividum. It presents a significant range of effects against phytopathogenic and human fungi, besides being featured as having low toxicity, and by its important ecological role in protecting amphibian species and applications in dyed medical fabric. The hypothesis about violacein's action mechanisms against mucormycosis (Rhizopus arrhizus) and candidiasis (Candida auris) is herein discussed based on data available in the scientific literature.

AbstractThere is a pressing need to better understand ecosystem resilience to droughts and heatwaves. Eco‐evolutionary optimization approaches have been proposed as means to build this understanding in land surface models and improve their predictive capability, but competing approaches are yet to be tested together. Here, we coupled approaches that optimize canopy gas exchange and leaf nitrogen investment, respectively, extending both approaches to account for hydraulic impairment. We assessed model predictions using observations from a native Eucalyptus woodland that experienced repeated droughts and heatwaves between 2013 and 2020, whilst exposed to an elevated [CO2] treatment. Our combined approaches improved predictions of transpiration and enhanced the simulated magnitude of the CO2 fertilization effect on gross primary productivity. The competing approaches also worked consistently along axes of change in soil moisture, leaf area, and [CO2]. Despite predictions of a significant percentage loss of hydraulic conductivity due to embolism (PLC) in 2013, 2014, 2016, and 2017 (99th percentile PLC > 45%), simulated hydraulic legacy effects were small and short‐lived (2 months). Our analysis suggests that leaf shedding and/or suppressed foliage growth formed a strategy to mitigate drought risk. Accounting for foliage responses to water availability has the potential to improve model predictions of ecosystem resilience.
Peace movements and the war in Ukraine: The opportunity
Authors: Howlett Charles F. 
Published: June 2022

AbstractThe February 2022 Russian invasion into Ukraine is the largest land attack in Europe since World War II. Threats of the use of tactical nuclear weapons by Russian President Putin has raised the eyebrows of nations throughout the world. The possibility of another world war and prospects for nuclear annihilation has provided an opportunity for non‐governmental international peace organizations to work together collectively to educate citizens about the importance of peace movements as agencies of humanitarian relief. More than opposing war peace movements are reform instruments, which highlight the importance of peace by providing aid and assistance to the innocent victims of armed aggression. Presently, peace organizations are doing their part by providing food, shelter, clothing, first aid, and other forms of non‐lethal aid to the Ukrainian people caught in the crosshairs of this violent conflict. This is how peace movements can demonstrate the real meaning of peace in the current situation and serve the larger task of nonviolence beyond political dialogue and nationalistic rhetoric.

AbstractThe goal of the present study was to assess the viability of the cryopreserved ovine (Ovis aries) semen, upon supplementation with α‐terpineol and rosemary essential oil (Rosmarinus officinalis). The collection of the semen from six rams formed the pool, collected once a week during 7 weeks. The diluted semen was packed into straws (0.25 ml) and frozen in a TK 3000® device. Both α‐terpineol and rosemary essential oil were added in the concentrations of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μg/ml to the TRIS‐yolk extender forming six experimental groups; the control group received only the TRIS‐yolk extender. The samples were analyzed after thawing regarding motility and vigor, integrity of the plasmatic membrane, thermoresistance test (TT), mitochondrial membrane potential, acrosomal integrity and computer‐assisted semen analysis (CASA). The levels of the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances were also analyzed. According to the results obtained with the addition of the concentrations of 6.25, 12.5 and 25 μg/ml of α‐terpineol, significantly reduced the parameters assessed through CASA (VSL, LIN and WOB) and TT. Rosemary essential oil did not have deleterious effects on the spermatozoa and did not reduce the oxidative stress in the concentrations studied, although it presented absolute values higher than those of the control in several parameters. Alpha‐terpineol in the concentrations studied was not able to reduce the oxidative stress and had toxic effect over the ovine spermatozoa.
