Published: May 2022

AbstractThere are reports that nut consumption provides potential benefit for gastric pathologies including stomach cancer and Helicobacter pylori infection. However, there are no studies investigating the effect of nut consumption on gastric intestinal metaplasia (GIM). In a Korean cohort of 53 424 men (average age 38.7 ± 7.0 years) and 33 024 women (average age 38.0 ± 7.0 years), we analysed the risk of GIM according to the frequency of nut consumption (peanuts, pine nuts and almonds only) as the following: rare (<1 serving/month), ≤1 serving/month and <1 serving/week, ≤1 serving/week and <3 serving/week, ≤3 serving/week and <5 serving/week and ≥5 serving/week where one serving is 15 g. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the multivariable‐adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for GIM and their 95% confidence intervals (CI) in each group (adjusted HR [95% CI]). Subgroup analysis was conducted by body mass index (BMI, non‐obesity <25 and obesity ≥25). The models were adjusted for age, regular exercise, BMI, smoking, alcohol intake (g/day), diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dietary fibre intake, sodium intake and total calorie intake. After 5.3 years (median 5.9 years) of follow‐up, GIM was observed in 5073 subjects. In men, compared with rare nuts consumption, greater nuts consumption was associated with a lower risk of GIM (rare consumption: reference, 1/month–1/week: 0.85 [0.79–0.91], 1–3/week: 0.81 [0.72–0.91], 3–5/week: 0.70 [0.57–0.86] and ≥5/week: 0.59 [0.48–0.73]). Subgroup analysis indicated that the inverse relationship between nuts consumption and the risk of GIM is more distinct in men without obesity (rare consumption: reference, 1/month–1/week: 0.83 [0.76–0.91], 1–3/week: 0.78 [0.67–0.91], 3–5/week: 0.68 [0.51–0.89] and ≥5/week: 0.51 [0.37–0.69]). However, this association was not observed in women. In conclusion, increased nuts consumption was associated with a decreased risk of GIM in working aged Korean men.

AbstractThe relative contribution of carbon sources generated from leaves and fruits photosynthesis for triacylglycerol biosynthesis in the olive mesocarp and their interaction with water stress was investigated. With this aim, altered carbon source treatments were combined with different irrigation conditions. A higher decrease in mesocarp oil content was observed in fruits under girdled and defoliated shoot treatment compared to darkened fruit conditions, indicating that both leaf and fruit photosynthesis participate in carbon supply for oil biosynthesis being leaves the main source. The carbon supply and water status affected oil synthesis in the mesocarp, regulating the expression ofDGATandPDATgenes and implicatingDGAT1‐1,DGAT2,PDAT1‐1, andPDAT1‐2as the principal genes responsible for triacylglycerol biosynthesis. A major role was indicated forDGAT2andPDAT1‐2in well‐watered conditions. Moreover, polyunsaturated fatty acid content together withFAD2‐1,FAD2‐2andFAD7‐1expression levels were augmented in response to modified carbon supply in the olive mesocarp. Furthermore, water stress caused an increase inDGAT1‐1,DGAT1‐2,PDAT1‐1, andFAD2‐5gene transcript levels. Overall, these data indicate that oil content and fatty acid composition in olive fruit mesocarp are regulated by carbon supply and water status, affecting the transcription of key genes in both metabolic pathways.
Situating nursing science and public health within a shared context
Authors: Sinko Laura , Montgomery Tiffany , Terhaar Mary , Schroeder Krista 
Published: May 2022

AbstractThe purpose of this editorial is to discuss the opportunities associated with situating nursing science and public health within a shared context as an avenue for nursing to capitalize on its strong foundation for promoting health equity and mitigating the many social and structural determinants of poor health. We highlight one example of how this might be done, by housing departments of nursing in larger colleges of public health. Conducting nursing science within a college of public health presents both opportunities and challenges which are discussed here. Considering the benefits and challenges of collectively situating nursing and public health with a shared context creates numerous natural starting points for productive conversation, collaboration, and discovery that can benefit both public health and nursing's ability to interrogate past harms and transform our approach to move towards a more healthy and equitable future for all.

Published: May 2022

AbstractLittle is known about how vicarious police violence, or instances of police violence observed but not directly experienced, impacts health among Black individuals. Using a lab‐based paradigm in a sample of young adults (N = 101), this study examined: (a) psychophysiological reactivity to instances of vicarious police violence, particularly the assault and shooting of Black individuals; (b) affective reactivity to instances of vicarious police violence; and (c) how racial identity, one important moderator, influences psychophysiological and affective responses to vicarious police violence. Using electrocardiography and impedance cardiography, participants' cardiac sympathetic and parasympathetic physiological responses were continuously monitored. Three sets of high‐quality color photographs (neutral, non‐violent distress, violence) were viewed on a computer. Participants rated their affect after each set using the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). Following this task, racial identity was assessed using the Multidimensional Inventory of Black Identity‐Short Form. Findings indicated that vicarious police violence was associated with greater sympathetic reactivity and negative affect relative to the neutral and non‐violent distress conditions. Additionally, higher levels of racial centrality exacerbated the association between vicarious police violence and negative affect. Findings suggest that Black individuals may wish to limit their consumption of media depicting the assault and shooting of other Black individuals, with the caveat that the best solution is ultimately the cessation of police violence.

AbstractThe present study focuses on the associations of serum immunoglobulin with disease activity, relapse/recurrence and renal involvement in Henoch‐Schönlein purpura (HSP) children. 1683 Chinese children with HSP were recruited from January 2015 to January 2021. Laboratory data of blood samples and urine tests were collected. Renal biopsy was performed by the percutaneous technique. Patients' histories associated with HSP onset were obtained by interviews and questionnaires. (1) IgA and IgE were dramatically elevated in HSP patients as compared to their normal values and subject to a 1.75–3.09 fold and a 1.97–2.61 fold increase, respectively. (2) No significant correlation of the disease activity with IgA and IgE was determined, respectively. (3) The serum IgA levels were significantly lower in patients with relapse/recurrence than that in patients without relapse/recurrence, which may be attributed to the transmission of IgA‐mediated immune complexes from blood to vessel walls. (4) No significant correlation was found between serum IgA, IgE levels and the pathological classification. HSP children have marked disorders of serum immunoglobulin profiles, characterized by significant increases in IgA and IgE. The detection of serum IgA may be applicable to predict relapse/recurrence of HSP whereas not associated with disease activity and renal involvement.

Published: May 2022

Abstract
This paper examines the feasibility and control authority of an electronically controlled cold-gas thruster (CGT) as a backpack-worn device for fall prevention for individuals at fall risk. The CGT is comprised of a pressurized air tank combined with a custom electrically actuated high-flow-capacity valve and servo-controlled nozzle, which are employed together to create a thrust intended to arrest an impending fall. In this paper, the authors present the design of the CGT prototype and experimentally investigate its prospective control authority for the purposes of correcting an impending fall.

Published: May 2022

The untranslated regions (UTRs) of genes play crucial roles in regulating gene expression at the post-transcriptional level such as affecting mRNA stabilization. In this study, 26 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and one deletion located in UTR were genotyped from 186 Dazu black goats via SNaPshot, and the correlation between genotype and litter size was analyzed. The results indicated that two SNP loci, SNP_chr17-20182525 and SNP_chr7-65652612, which were located at the 3′ UTR of scavenger receptor class B member 1 and follistatin-like 4, were significantly ( P < 0.05) correlated with the litter size of first parity goats. SNP_chr7-65652612 was also significantly associated with the total litter size of first and second parity offspring ( P < 0.05). In conclusion, SNP_chr7-65652612 and SNP_chr17-20182525 have correlation with the litter size of Dazu black goat and they are potential genetic markers for litter size breeding.

Published: May 2022

A novel phase frequency detector design is introduced in this study, which removes dead and blind zone issues by eliminating reset path, therefore accelerating the acquisition process. High speed, low power and minimal phase noise are all characteristics of the proposed circuit. The circuit is designed in the Cadence Virtuoso environment and is implemented in CMOS GPDK 180 nm library using a 1.8 V supply voltage. Post-layout simulations have been conducted to ensure that the findings are accurate. The circuit’s robustness is tested over process, voltage and temperature fluctuations. The suggested PFD achieves a phase noise of [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]dBc/Hz, which is significantly lower than other published circuits. This PFD dissipates 10.25[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]W of power at its maximum operating frequency of 10 GHz. The PFD encompasses an area of 275[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m2. The proposed PFD outperforms other PFD circuits in the literature, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal jitter, low power, etc.

Published: May 2022

AbstractEssential tremor (ET) is the most common movement disorder. Its neural underpinnings remain unclear. Here, we quantified structural covariance between cortical thickness (CT), surface area (SA), and mean curvature (MC) estimates in patients with ET before and 1 year after ventro-intermediate nucleus stereotactic radiosurgical thalamotomy, and contrasted the observed patterns with those from matched healthy controls. For SA, complex rearrangements within a network of motion-related brain areas characterized patients with ET. This was complemented by MC alterations revolving around the left middle temporal cortex and the disappearance of positive-valued covariance across both modalities in the right fusiform gyrus. Recovery following thalamotomy involved MC readjustments in frontal brain centers, the amygdala, and the insula, capturing nonmotor characteristics of the disease. The appearance of negative-valued CT covariance between the left parahippocampal gyrus and hippocampus was another recovery mechanism involving high-level visual areas. This was complemented by the appearance of negative-valued CT/MC covariance, and positive-valued SA/MC covariance, in the right inferior temporal cortex and bilateral fusiform gyrus. Our results demonstrate that different morphometric properties provide complementary information to understand ET, and that their statistical cross-dependences are also valuable. They pinpoint several anatomical features of the disease and highlight routes of recovery following thalamotomy.
Rethinking the Public Interest in Consumer Protection
Authors: Schmitz Benedikt 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
Consumer protection directly influences the design of choice of law rules in the EU. Article 6 Rome I Regulation stipulates that the law of the consumer’s habitual place of residence applies, unless another law has been chosen. This choice may not deprive the consumer of certain rules of her “home law”, however. This likely requires a comparison of the involved laws, putting the foreseeability of the parties’ legal rights in jeopardy. Such comparison also raises issues for the public, as it decreases administrability (measured by the amount of work necessary to apply a conflict rule) and hence increases costs for the courts. Through comparative analysis between Article 6 Rome I and the latter’s different interpretations, this article investigates how consumer protection affects the administrability and foreseeability of choice of law rules. It is shown how simple changes to Article 6 Rome I could increase administrability and foreseeability for all involved stakeholders.
A worldwide data science investigation of rainfall
Authors: Ignaccolo Massimiliano , De Michele Carlo 
Published: May 2022

Abstract
We perform a worldwide analysis of the rain drop size distribution using 166 dis-drometer datasets from 76 distinct sites for a total of 1,527,963 1-minute drop counts, 428,410 2-minute drop counts, and a total of 988,922,720 drops. Following data science tenets, we adopt a functional-agnostic description of the rain drop size distribution. In this way, we uncover the presence of an invariant structure of statistical relationship among the distribution parameters, not depending on location, synoptic origin, or type of disdrometer. The features of this structure are: 1) count-shape independence: there is no dependence between the drop count N and the shape of rain drop spectra. 2) mean-skewness prominence: the variability of the shape of rain drop spectra can be fully captured by its mean µ and skewness γ. 3) mean-skewness invariant parametrization: we derive empirical invariant functional forms expressing all other shape describing parameters in terms of the free parameters (µ, γ). The presented analysis reveals the global and local properties of the rain drops size distribution offering a coherent and universally applicable methodology to describe the rain drop size distribution.
Tensile, thermal and ultra-violet shielding enhancement of poly(lactic acid) bionanocomposite film using cellulose nanocrystals extracted from sugarcane bagasse
Authors: Khoo Rong Ze , Chow Wen Shyang , Ismail Hanafi 
Published: May 2022

Sugarcane bagasse fiber cellulose nanocrystals (SBFCNC) and microcrystalline cellulose-derived-cellulose nanocrystals (MCC-CNC) were extracted from sugarcane bagasse fiber (SBF; an agricultural waste) and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), respectively. Both SBFCNC and MCC-CNC were synthesized using sulfuric acid hydrolysis followed by the freeze-drying method. Both MCC-CNC and SBFCNC show stable suspension in water with zeta potential values of – 40.5 mV and – 42.2 mV, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis revealed that the SBFCNC has a higher aspect ratio (l/d = 65) compared to the MCC-CNC (l/d = 25). The poly(lactic acid) (PLA) nanocomposites containing of MCC-CNC and SBFCNC was prepared using solvent casting method, and the films are highly amorphous as evidenced from the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) study. The tensile strength of PLA/SBFCNC-10 is higher than that of PLA/MCC-CNC-10 films. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) results showed that the thermal stability of PLA was improved significantly by the incorporation of MCC-CNC and SBFCNC. Poly(lactic acid)/SBFCNC-15 nanocomposites exhibited higher UV shielding properties (i.e., a UV blocking ratio of 0.63–0.66 in the UVA, UVB, and UVC regions) compared to PLA/MCC-CNC-15 nanocomposites (a UV blocking ratio in the range of 0.38–0.54). Sugarcane bagasse fiber cellulose nanocrystal is a potential biofiller that can provide good thermal stability and UV shielding properties for green bionanocomposites, which can give it an opportunity for food packaging applications.
Emotional labour in the collaborative data practices of repurposing healthcare data and building data technologies
Authors: Choroszewicz Marta 
Published: May 2022

This article focuses on emotions, conceptualised as emotional labour, evoked during data practices used to repurpose and enable healthcare data journeys for Finnish public healthcare. Combined approaches from critical data studies and the sociology of emotions were used to contribute to a better understanding of the mundane but often invisible work of the emotions of experts involved in data practices, such as facilitating data journeys and building data technologies. The article is based on a two-and-a-half-year ethnographic study conducted in a Finnish regional public healthcare and social service organisation. The study results were derived from the analysis of 39 interviews and fieldnotes produced by observing 170 h of various meetings, events and work activities performed by experts. The results were organised into three forms of observed experts’ emotional labour related to three phases of healthcare data journeys: (a) caring for data production and preparing data for travel, (b) managing excitement and frustration in data processing for continually building the data management system, and (c) reassuring users in making sense of obtained data analytics. The results contribute to a greater understanding of the emotions and emotional labour generated by healthcare data journeys and in relation to the volatile nature of healthcare data and the collaborative character of data practices. This work advocates for a better recognition of the emotional aspects of data practices and their implications on data-based knowledge and datafication processes in healthcare.
Reasons for hospitalization and in-hospital mortality in adults with systemic sclerosis: Analysis of the National Inpatient Sample
Authors: Potera Joanna , Manadan Augustine M 
Published: May 2022

Objective: Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune condition with significant morbidity and mortality despite modern medical therapies. The goal of this investigation was to comprehensively analyze all reasons for hospitalization and in-hospital death of systemic sclerosis patients. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis of the adult systemic sclerosis hospitalizations from the 2016–2018 National Inpatient Sample. We included patients with a primary or secondary diagnosis of systemic sclerosis and compared them to the group without the disease. The incidence of inpatient death and total hospitalization charges were recorded along with the most frequent principal diagnoses for systemic sclerosis hospitalizations and mortality categorized into subgroups. Results: There were 94,515 adult systemic sclerosis hospitalizations recorded in the 2016–2018 National Inpatient Sample database. Systemic sclerosis patients had higher inpatient mortality compared to the non-systemic sclerosis group (4.5% vs 2.2%, respectively, p < 0.0001), were more likely to be female (84% vs 58%, p < 0.0001), had a longer mean length of stay (6.1 vs 4.7 days, p < 0.0001), and greater mean total hospital charges ($70,018 vs $53,556, p < 0.0001). Sepsis, unspecified organism (A41.9) was the most common principal diagnosis for both hospitalized and deceased systemic sclerosis patients. Cardiovascular diagnoses (21.9%) were the most common reasons for hospitalization and infectious (28%)—for in-hospital death. Conclusion: Our analysis of the National Inpatient Sample database from 2016 to 2018 showed that infections and cardiovascular diseases were a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among hospitalized systemic sclerosis patients. Sepsis was the most frequent specific diagnosis for both hospitalization and inpatient deaths. These results stress the importance of early recognition of life-threatening infections in this patient population.
Transmission risk of COVID-19 in high school and college water polo

Published: May 2022

Abstract
Background
Concerns that athletes may be at a higher risk for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) transmission has led to reduced participation in sports during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to assess COVID-19 incidence and transmission during the spring 2021 high school and college water polo seasons across the United States.

Methods
This prospective observational study enrolled 1825 water polo athletes from 54 high schools and 36 colleges. Surveys were sent to coaches throughout the season, and survey data were collected and analyzed.

Results
We identified 17 COVID-19 cases among 1223 high school water polo athletes (1.4%) and 66 cases among 602 college athletes (11.0%). Of these cases, contact tracing suggested that three were water polo–associated in high school, and none were water polo–associated in college. Quarantine data suggest low transmission during water polo play as only three out of 232 (1.3%) high school athletes quarantined for a water polo–related exposure developed COVID-19. In college, none of the 54 athletes quarantined for exposure with an infected opponent contracted COVID-19. However, in both high school and college, despite the physical condition of water polo athletes, both high school (47%) and college athletes (21%) had prolonged return to play after contracting COVID-19, indicating the danger of COVID-19, even to athletes.

Conclusions
While COVID-19 spread can occur during water polo play, few instances of spread occurred during the spring 2021 season, and transmission rates appear similar to those in other settings, such as school environments.
