The interplay of career involvement and goal conflicts: An eight‐wave study with STEM professionals
Authors: Noppeney Ruth , Alisic Aida , Wiese Bettina S. 
Published: September 2022

SummaryBased on a “whole‐life”‐perspective and integrating theories of self‐identity and resource management, the present longitudinal study examines the dynamic relationship between career involvement and conflicts between work and nonwork goals in a sample of 3095 German‐speaking doctoral students and doctorate holders (37.0% women) from various STEM fields. We expected increases in goal conflicts to decrease career involvement, and simultaneously tested reciprocal relationships, that is, from involvement on conflicts. The random intercept cross‐lagged panel model (RI‐CLPM) was used to analyze within‐person associations across eight measurement occasions (6‐month time intervals) while controlling for between‐person effects. At the between‐person level, career involvement and goal conflicts were negatively correlated. At the within‐person level, results showed negative cross‐lagged effects from goal conflicts to career involvement as well as negative cross‐lagged effects from career involvement to goal conflicts. This indicates that the interplay of goal conflicts and career involvement can result in either an upward or a downward spiral. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

AbstractA number of goose breeds are raised commercially in China. However, the data on the slaughter performance of the goose breeds and the nutritional value of their meats lack a thorough comparative analysis. In this systematic review, the slaughter performance of the goose breeds and nutritional value of their meats were comparatively analyzed to provide an overview of the characteristics of the goose breeds raised commercially in China. Fifteen goose breeds were selected from 27 research articles published up to January 2022 on the slaughter performance of the goose breeds raised commercially in China and their nutrient composition after literature searching, literature screening, variety selection, and data collation. The slaughter indexes of the goose breeds and the basic nutrient composition, amino acid composition, and fatty acid composition of the meats of the goose breeds were standardized using min–max normalization and compared. The results suggest that the slaughter indexes and nutritional indicators of the meats of Yangzhou white goose, Xupu goose, Landaise geese, and Sichuan white goose are more balanced than those of the meats of the other goose breeds. The results of this review can lay the foundation for optimizing the breeding methods of the commercially raised goose breeds and processing methods of the meats of the geese. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.

AbstractBACKGROUNDThe present study aimed to investigate the effects of low protein diets balanced with four amino acids on growth performance, meat quality and cecal microflora of finishing pigs. Fifty‐four healthy hybrid barrows (Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire) with an average body weight of 70.12 ± 4.03 kg were randomly assigned to one of the three dietary treatments with six replicate pens per treatment (three barrows per pen). The three dietary treatments included a normal protein diet (NP), a low protein diet (LP) and a very low protein diet (VLP).RESULTSThe average daily gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion ratio of pigs were not significantly changed with the LP and VLP diets compared to the NP diet (P > 0.05). The water holding capacity and shear force of longissimus dorsi muscle were decreased, whereas the intramuscular fat content of the longissimus dorsi muscle was increased (P < 0.05) in pigs fed with the LP and VLP diets compared to the NP diet. The contents of saturated fatty acids in muscle were decreased (P < 0.05), whereas the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in muscle was increased (P < 0.01) with the VLP diet compared to the NP diet. The contents of histamine, spermidine, spermine and tyramine of muscle were decreased with the VLP diet compared to the NP diet (P < 0.05). The relative abundance of Turicibacter, Terrisporobacter, Clostridium_sensu_stricto_1 and UCG‐005 was higher (P < 0.05), whereas the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and Streptococcus was lower (P < 0.05) in pigs fed with the LP and VLP diets compared to the NP diet. Based on the correlation of cecal microbiota and cecal biogenic amine, the contents of tyramine, spermidine and histamine were negatively correlated with the abundance of Terrisporobacter (P < 0.01) and the content of histamine was positively correlated with the abundance of Lactobacillus (P < 0.01).CONCLUSIONBalanced with four essential amino acids, the VLP diet with crude protein levels decreased by > 4% increased the intramuscular fat content, changed the fatty acid and amino acid composition of longissimus dorsi muscle and the profile of cecum microbiota, and reduced the content of cecum bioamine, with no negative effect on the growth performance of pigs. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
A simple version of resting‐state heart rate variability interpretation for patients with affective disorders: A four‐pattern perspective
Authors: Huang Wei‐Lieh , Cheng Ying‐Chih , Liao Shih‐Cheng 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHeart rate variability (HRV) is often considered as a biomarker reflecting well‐being, but the clinical meaning of short‐term resting‐state HRV is not sufficiently defined. We assume that combining several common HRV indices as “HRV patterns” and using the patterns for screening purposes are meaningful approaches. Resting‐state 5‐min HRV data of 424 subjects were analyzed. Four of the most commonly used HRV indices were considered: standard deviation of normal–to–normal RR intervals, low‐frequency power, high‐frequency power and the ratio of low‐frequency to high‐frequency power. According to these indices, four HRV patterns were defined: normal pattern, low HRV pattern, relatively high sympathetic pattern, and relatively high vagal pattern. The associations between the demographics, lifestyles, personality traits, psychological states, and HRV patterns were explored: the low HRV pattern was positively associated with age, body mass index, and depression; the relatively high sympathetic pattern was positively associated with age and negatively associated with exercise habit; and the relatively high vagal pattern was negatively associated with having a steady job and novelty seeking. The pattern perspective may provide a convenient and evidence‐based way to interpret resting‐state HRV for patients with affective disorders.

AbstractObjectivesEndoscopic endonasal transsphenoidal adenomectomy (TSA) is the most frequently performed skull base surgery, and researchers have recently focused on preserving nasal function. The endoscopic transseptal approach is a promising procedure due to its reduced injury to the nasal mucosa; however, there are no studies comparing rhinological and neurosurgical outcomes concurrently with the standard endoscopic transnasal approach. Therefore, we conducted this study to investigate whether the transseptal approach could reduce nasal morbidities with comparable neurosurgical outcomes.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed 25 patients who underwent endoscopic endonasal transseptal TSA for pituitary adenoma without encasement of internal carotid artery from January 2019 to December 2020. Another 25 patients who received transnasal approach from January 2017 to December 2018 were selected as controls. Patients with diseases affecting the nasal cavity/olfaction or usage of a nasoseptal flap were excluded for a better comparison of the two procedures. We collected data from radiological studies, endocrine studies, endoscopic evaluations, 22‐item sinonasal outcome tests (SNOT‐22) and Top International Biotech Smell Identification Test (TIBSIT) for comparison.ResultsLower postoperative SNOT‐22 and Lund‐Kennedy endoscopic scores were observed in the transseptal group. The effect size of differences were classified as large effect (The absolute value of Cohen's d > 0.8). Nevertheless, the TIBSIT scores were not significantly different. The rates of gross total resection, recovery of hormonal abnormalities, and complications were not significantly different. After controlling possible confounding factors using multivariate analysis, the endoscopic transseptal approach remained an independent factor for lower SNOT‐22 scores and Lund‐Kennedy endoscopic scores.ConclusionsThe endoscopic transseptal approach provides improved recovery of nasal mucosa and intact olfaction without compromising neurosurgical outcomes.Level of Evidence2b.

AbstractObjectivesThe association between the chorda tympani nerve (CTN) and atresiaplasty has not been investigated. This study aimed to describe the course of the CTN observed during atresiaplasty for congenital aural atresia (CAA) and explore the feasibility of CTN preservation.MethodsIn this retrospective study, six consecutive patients who underwent atresiaplasty in a tertiary academic center were included. The course of the tympanic segment of the CTN and its preservation feasibility were evaluated. Atresiaplasty was performed using an anterior approach. The average Jahrsdoerfer score was 8.7 points (range, 8–9 points).ResultsThe CTN was located in the atretic plate in all patients. It emerged from an average of 5.6 mm (range, 5.2–6.1) inferior to the incus buttress and crossed the middle ear in an anterior–superior direction. The distance between the neck of the malleus and the CTN varied in the absence of the malleus handle. However, when the malleus handle developed, the CTN passed between the incus and the malleus handle. The CTN was preserved in two of the six patients. They had a Jahrsdoerfer score of 9 and grade I microtia.ConclusionThe CTN was located in the atretic plate, emerging from an average distance of 5.6 mm inferior to the incus buttress. The incus buttress might serve as a good anatomical landmark to identify and preserve the CTN. CTN preservation is feasible in atresiaplasty candidates with a Jahrsdoerfer score of 9 and auricular deformity of grade I.Level of Evidence4.
The Effect of Chain Topology on the Crystallization and Polymorphism of PVDF: Linear versus Star Molecules

Published: September 2022

AbstractWell‐defined linear, 3‐, 4‐, and 6‐arms polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) stars are synthesized by reversible addition−fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization using mono‐, tri‐, tetra‐, and hexa‐functionalized chain transfer agents, respectively, and 1,1‐bis‐(tert‐butylperoxy)‐cyclohexane as initiator. The crystallization kinetics and the polymorphic character of PVDF stars are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) . Using a cooling rate of 10 °C min−1, all samples form α‐ and β‐phases. However, the amount of β‐phase increases with respect to the α‐phase as the number of arms in the PVDF stars increases. This results from the increased topological complexity in the stars , which leads to the preferential formation of the less thermodynamically stable ferroelectricβ‐phase. When the cooling rate is decreased (1 °C min−1) and/or an isothermal crystallization procedure is applied, polymorphism is inhibited in the PVDF stars, and only the paraelectric α‐phase is formed. On the other hand, the linear PVDF sample is still capable of producing both paraelectric and ferroelectric phases after slow cooling or isothermal crystallization. The isothermal crystallization kinetics of the PVDF stars i faster than the linear as a result of their speedier nucleation, possibly promoted by their particular topology where the arms radiate from a common junction point.
DNA extraction bias is more pronounced for microbial eukaryotes than for prokaryotes
Authors: Brauer Anne , Bengtsson Mia M. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDNA extraction and preservation bias is a recurring topic in DNA sequencing‐based microbial ecology. The different methodologies can lead to distinct outcomes, which has been demonstrated especially in studies investigating prokaryotic community composition. Eukaryotic microbes are ubiquitous, diverse, and increasingly a subject of investigation in addition to bacteria and archaea. However, little is known about how the choice of DNA preservation and extraction methodology impacts perceived eukaryotic community composition. In this study, we compared the effect of two DNA preservation methods and six DNA extraction methods on the community profiles of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes in phototrophic biofilms on seagrass (Zostera marina) leaves from the Baltic Sea. We found that, whereas both DNA preservation and extraction method caused significant bias in perceived community composition for both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, extraction bias was more pronounced for eukaryotes than for prokaryotes. In particular, soft‐bodied and hard‐shelled eukaryotes like nematodes and diatoms, respectively, were differentially abundant depending on the extraction method. We conclude that careful consideration of DNA preservation and extraction methodology is crucial to achieving representative community profiles of eukaryotes in marine biofilms and likely all other habitats containing diverse eukaryotic microbial communities.

AbstractKRAS mutations (KRASmut), PIK3CAmut, BRAFmut, and deficient DNA mismatch repair (dMMR) have been associated with the Warburg effect. We previously reported differential associations between early‐life energy balance‐related factors (height, energy restriction, body mass index [BMI]) and colorectal cancer (CRC) subtypes based on the Warburg effect. We now investigated associations of early‐life energy balance‐related factors and the risk of CRC subgroups based on mutation and MMR status. Data from the Netherlands Cohort Study was used. KRASmut, PIK3CAmut, BRAFmut, and MMR status were available for 2349 CRC cases, and complete covariate data for 1934 cases and 3911 subcohort members. Multivariable‐adjusted Cox regression was used to estimate associations of height, energy restriction proxies (exposure to Dutch Hunger Winter, Second World War, Economic Depression), and early adult BMI (age 20 years) with risk of CRC based on individual molecular features and combinations thereof (all‐wild‐type+MMR‐proficient [pMMR]; any‐mutation/dMMR). Height was positively associated with any‐mutation/dMMR CRC but not all‐wild‐type+pMMR CRC, with the exception of rectal cancer in men, and with heterogeneity in associations observed for colon cancer in men (p‐heterogeneity = 0.049) and rectal cancer in women (p‐heterogeneity = 0.014). Results on early‐life energy restriction proxies in relation to the risk of CRC subgroups did not show clear patterns. Early adult BMI was positively, but not significantly, associated with KRASmut colon cancer in men and with BRAFmut and dMMR colon cancer in women. Our results suggest a role of KRASmut, PIK3CAmut, BRAFmut, and dMMR in the etiological pathway between height and CRC risk. KRASmut might potentially play a role in associations of early adult BMI with colon cancer risk in men, and BRAFmut and dMMR in women.

ScopeIt has been reported that eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), especially EPA‐enriched phospholipids (EPA‐PL), significantly ameliorates depression‐like behavior in mice, while the corresponding effect of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is weak. However, it is still unclear whether the limited effect of DHA on alleviating depression is remedied by dose and chemical structure adjustment to DHA‐PL.Methods and resultsA mouse model with depression is established by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) coupled with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenge to simulate the infection‐triggered immune perturbation during chronic stress, and the effects of dietary 0.2% EPA‐PL, 0.2% DHA‐PL, 0.6% DHA‐PL, and 0.6% DHA‐enriched ethyl ester (DHA‐EE) are comparatively investigated. The results demonstrate that dietary 0.6% DHA‐PL, instead of 0.2% DHA‐PL and 0.6% DHA‐EE, significantly rescues the depression‐like behavior with similar effects to 0.2% EPA‐PL. Further studies reveal that dietary DHA‐PL regulates immune dysregulation, inhibits neuroinflammation by NLRP3 inflammasome, and further improves monoamine systems and the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis.ConclusionThe limited effect of DHA on depression is remedied by chemical structure adjustment to DHA‐PL and three‐fold dose. The present findings provide a potential novel candidate or targeted dietary patterns to prevent and treat depression.

AbstractObjectivesTo explore mortality of patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), frontotemporal dementia (FTD), or Lewy body dementias (LBD) who had criminal behavior in the year preceding diagnosis.MethodsData were obtained from the nationwide registers. Mortality was compared between disorder groups with and without criminal acts and with the general population. The cohort included patients who had received a discharge register diagnosis of AD (N = 80,540), FTD (N = 1060), or LBD (N = 10,591) between 1998 and 2015. The incidences of crimes were calculated in the year preceding diagnosis. We further calculated age‐ and sex‐adjusted survivals of different dementia groups with and without criminal acts, and in relation to the general population (SMR, Standardized Mortality Ratio).ResultsCriminal behavior was more common in men than in women. It was associated with decreased mortality in the AD group. SMRs due to unnatural causes, and in the LBD and FTD female groups, were higher in patients with criminal behavior than in those without.ConclusionLBD and female FTD patients, who had criminal behavior before diagnosis, were at higher risk of death than patients without such behavior. Novel criminality in older adults may be associated with neurocognitive disorder, in which case medical attention is justified.
Efficient formulation of a two‐noded geometrically exact curved beam element
Authors: Horák Martin , La Malfa Ribolla Emma , Jirásek Milan 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe article extends the formulation of a 2D geometrically exact beam element proposed by Jirásek et al. (2021) to curved elastic beams. This formulation is based on equilibrium equations in their integrated form, combined with the kinematic relations and sectional equations that link the internal forces to sectional deformation variables. The resulting first‐order differential equations are approximated by the finite difference scheme and the boundary value problem is converted to an initial value problem using the shooting method. The article develops the theoretical framework based on the Navier–Bernoulli hypothesis, with a possible extension to shear‐flexible beams. Numerical procedures for the evaluation of equivalent nodal forces and of the element tangent stiffness are presented in detail. Unlike standard finite element formulations, the present approach can increase accuracy by refining the integration scheme on the element level while the number of global degrees of freedom is kept constant. The efficiency and accuracy of the developed scheme are documented by seven examples that cover circular and parabolic arches, a spiral‐shaped beam, and a spring‐like beam with a zig‐zag centerline. The proposed formulation does not exhibit any locking. No excessive stiffness is observed for coarse computational grids and the distribution of internal forces is not polluted by any oscillations. It is also shown that a cross effect in the relations between internal forces and deformation variables arises, that is, the bending moment affects axial stretching and the normal force affects the curvature. This coupling is theoretically explained in the Appendix.

AbstractAimThe aim was to generate a framework for dementia care in acute hospitals.DesignFramework development with logic modelling.MethodsIn phase one, we identified relevant elements of the framework by analysing several sources and by critically discussing them within the research team. We created the framework with logic modelling. In phase two, we adapted the framework in expert workshops and by reanalysing the included sources. We used the first stage of CReDECI 2 checklist for reporting.ResultsThe framework describes necessary activities within four main bundles of measures: “developing structures and processes,” “developing competences and attitudes,” “building relationships” and “ensuring a social environment and adequate stimulation.” The overarching outcome is a person‐centred hospital culture, manifesting itself on different levels. The framework illustrates the necessity of an organization‐wide person‐centred culture for achieving positive outcomes for people with dementia, their relatives and health professionals.

Published: September 2022

AbstractA finite element method of any order is applied on a Bakhvalov‐type mesh to solve a singularly perturbed convection–diffusion equation in 2D, whose solution exhibits exponential boundary layers. A uniform convergence of (almost) optimal order is proved by means of a carefully defined interpolant.
