HLA-DRB1*15:01 and the MERTK Gene Interact to Selectively Influence the Profile of MERTK-Expressing Monocytes in Both Health and MS.

HLA-DRB1*15:01 (DR15) and MERTK are 2 risk genes for multiple sclerosis (MS). The variant rs7422195 is an expression quantitative trait locus for MERTK in CD14+ monocytes; cells with phagocytic and immunomodulatory potential. We aimed to understand how drivers of disease risk and pathogenesis vary with HLA and MERTK genotype and disease activity. We investigated how proportions of monocytes vary with HLA and MERTK genotype and disease activity in MS. CD14+ monocytes were isolated from patients with MS at relapse (n = 40) and 3 months later (n = 23). Healthy controls (HCs) underwent 2 blood collections 3 months apart. Immunophenotypic profiling of monocytes was performed by flow cytometry. Methylation of 35 CpG sites within and near the MERTK gene was assessed in whole blood samples of individuals experiencing their first episode of clinical CNS demyelination (n = 204) and matched HCs (n = 345) using an Illumina EPIC array. DR15-positive patients had lower proportions of CD14+ MERTK+ monocytes than DR15-negative patients, independent of genotype at the MERTK SNP rs7422195. Proportions of CD14+ MERTK+ monocytes were further reduced during relapse in DR15-positive but not DR15-negative patients. Patients homozygous for the major G allele at rs7422195 exhibited higher proportions of CD14+ MERTK+ monocytes at both relapse and remission compared with controls. We observed that increased methylation of the MERTK gene was significantly associated with the presence of DR15. DR15 and MERTK genotype independently influence proportions of CD14+ MERTK+ monocytes in MS. We confirmed previous observations that the MERTK risk SNP rs7422195 is associated with altered MERTK expression in monocytes. We identified that expression of MERTK is stratified by disease in people homozygous for the major G allele of rs7422195. The finding that the proportion of CD14+ MERTK+ monocytes is reduced in DR15-positive individuals supports prior data identifying genetic links between these 2 loci in influencing MS risk. DR15 genotype-dependent alterations in methylation of the MERTK gene provides a molecular link between these loci and identifies a potential mechanism by which MERTK expression is influenced by DR15. This links DR15 haplotype to MS susceptibility beyond direct influence on antigen presentation and suggests the need for HLA-based stratification of approaches to MERTK as a therapeutic target.

Job and personal resources: boosting work engagement and job satisfaction in hospitals

The low level of job satisfaction (JS) among hospital staff is associated with the low level of work engagement (WE). To examine WE, the Job demand-resources theory is often applied. This study aims to see the effect of job resources (JR) and personal resources (PR) on WE and their impact on JS. This is a quantitative study that takes a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 244 employees of the Haji Hospital Makassar in South Sulawesi Province who were selected by random quota sampling and then analyzed using the Path Analysis test on SPSS AMOS 26. The results showed that JR (p-value 0.002<0.005, E=0.131) and PR (p-value 0.001<0.005, E=0.170) had a significant effect on WE. JR has a direct influence on JS (p-value 0.022<0.005, E=0.375). Although the indirect effect of JR on JS work engagement (WE) through is not significant (p-value 0.065<0.005), meanwhile, PR has a significant direct (p-value 0.001<0.005, E=0.248) and indirect (p-value 0.035<0.005, E=0.047) effect on JS. This study concludes that the direct influence path of PR is the best path for enhancing employee JS in hospitals.

Influence of Frequent Phlebothomy on Blood Iron Concentration, Haematological, Metabolic and Endocrine Parameters in Rams

Abstract Frequent phlebotomies, even when only a small volume of blood is taken for diagnostic purposes, can lead to the development of iron deficiency with hematological and metabolic changes. The study aimed to determine the influence of frequent blood loss by phlebotomy on blood iron concentration (Fe), hematology, metabolic and endocrine parameters and their relationships. Blood samples were collected from 30 blood donor rams for 6 consecutive weeks, with approximately 10% of blood collected weekly. Such chronic blood loss resulted in a decrease in Fe. Indicators of iron transport in the bloodstream changed, so the value of total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) and unsaturated iron-binding capacity (UIBC) increased, while the value of transferrin saturation percentage (TS%) decreased. Hematological changes included a decrease in red blood cells, hemoglobin, mean red blood cell volume and hematocrit and a tendency for reticulocyte count and red cell distribution width to increase. Chronic blood loss resulted in a specific metabolic response that included the increase in glucose, cholesterol, triglycerides, aspartate-aminotransferase, and insulin resistance, while thyroxine, triiodothyronine and cortisol decreased and there was a tendency for lactate to increase and BHB to decrease. The mentioned blood parameters correlated with Fe and additionally showed greater changes when Fe was extrapolated to the level of clinical deficit (Fe=9μmol/L). These correlations suggest the need to monitor the metabolic and endocrine status during chronic blood loss, in addition to Fe and erythrocyte indices. Compared with previous results in other animal species, Fe may have a direct influence on metabolic processes in rams.

Environmental and Demographic Effects on Vector Borne Disease Incidence: Welfare Role on DHF Reduction

Many regions in developing countries are transitioning to an industrial economic model, accompanied by rapid population growth, which from one side is a welfare driver (WLF) and on the other side is a demographic pressure, especially a health problem such as vector-borne disease. The problem climaxes when this transition is always accompanied by environmental degradation (ENV), which begins with deforestation. Objective: [1] Determine the direct influence of: [1a] Demographic on DHF incidence, [1b] Demographic on Welfare improvement, [1c] Welfare on DHF incidence, [1d] Environment improvement on DHF incidence, [1e] Environment improvement on performance Welfare; and [2] The indirect influence of Welfare in mediating [2a] Demographic pressure and [2b] Environment improvement on DHF incidence. Research Method: Lampung Province was used as the research locus. Forest Resources Inventory Laboratory of Lampung University as a place for analysis. Postulate SEM (Structural Equation Model) was employed at a 95% confidence level. The endogenous variable was vector-borne disease (reflected by DHF incidence). The two exogenous variables were DMG (reflected by population density and the proportion of age of productive, industrial, and service workers) and ENV (reflected by maximum & minimum air temperature, forested areas, and other land uses). The mediating variable is WLF (reflected by poverty and HDI). Findings: [1] Directly, with a significant effect: [1a] DMG pressure increases DHF (P=0.000) and [1.b] WLF (P=0.000); [1.c] Environment improvement increases welfare (P=0.000) while [1d] reduces DHF; and [1.e] WLF improvement can reduce DHF (P=0.010) and [2] The role of WLF improvement [2a] can significantly reduce the incidence of DHF due to demographic pressure (P=0.007) while also [2b] amplifying environmental improvement in reducing DHF significantly (P=0.023). Novelty:To reduce DHF incidence, Welfare improvement can reverse the negative effects of Demographic pressure as well as act as an amplifier for the role of environmental improvement.

Insight into the effect of geographic location and intercropping on contamination characteristics and exposure risk of phthalate esters (PAEs) in tea plantation soils

Phthalate esters (PAEs) are an emerging pollutant due to widespread distribution in environmental mediums that have attracted widespread attention over recent years. However, there is little information about tea plantation soil PAEs. A total of 270 soil samples collected from 45 tea plantations in the major high-quality tea-producing regions of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces in China were analyzed for seven PAEs. The detection frequency of PAEs in tea plantation soil was 100%. DBP, DEHP, and DiBP were the main congeners in tea plantation soil. The PAEs concentrations in the upper soil were significantly higher than those in the lower soil. The concentration of tea plantation soil PAEs in Jiangsu Province was significantly lower than those in Zhejiang and Anhui provinces. Intercropping with chestnuts can effectively reduce the contamination level of PAEs in tea plantation soil. Correlation analysis, redundancy analysis, partial correlation analysis, and structural equation modeling methods further confirmed the strong direct influence of factors such as chestnut–tea intercropping, temperature, and agricultural chemicals on the variation of PAEs in tea plantation soil. The health and ecological risk assessments indicated that non-carcinogenic risk was within a safe range and that there was a high carcinogenic risk via the dietary pathway, with DBP posing the highest ecological risk.

Exploring on the prediction model of human skin temperature and rectal temperature under heat stress

Hot environments cast direct influence on people's well-beings and health besides working productivity during the accelerating global warming. The systematic mechanism is not entirely clear due to the complex human physiological response which also handled human heat strain protection. This study carries out mathematical derivation on the rectal temperature and skin temperature under human heat strain based on the PHS model of ISO 7933 standard. The experimental validation was conducted in a climate chamber with continuously monitoring the typical physiological parameters of 10 subjects in 9 hot working environments. Physiological parameters of subjects were analyzed on average difference (AV), coefficient of variation (CV) and skewness (SKEW) to explore their mutual linkages. Both experimental and theoretical result shows that certain relationship existed between the rectal temperature and skin temperature. The Poisson's ratio on their average value, coefficient of variation, average difference and skew were 0.957, 0.991, 0.990 and 0.941 respectively. Linear relation with coefficient of 0.73 was found between rectal temperature and skin temperature coupling with the constant of 12.09. Comparison on the dynamic changes of rectal temperature and skin temperature was carried out and verified under PHS model. The results showed that rectal temperature was adjusted earlier and more forcefully than skin temperature indicating that human core temperature was better protected under heat stress. The findings contribute to a convenient method of human heat strain prediction when taking rectal temperature as the best physiological threshold with fast human skin temperature and environment parameters monitoring in complex high temperature working environments.

Effect of severe wildfire on soil phosphorus fractions and adsorption in a cold temperate coniferous forest after 5 years

AbstractForest fires are a primary driver of biogeochemical processes in ecosystems and affect the soil nutrient balance by altering the distribution of organic matter and associated nutrients as well as the composition and availability of elemental nutrients. We investigated the changes in soils’ phosphorus (P) fractions and the adsorption characteristics of potassium dihydrogen orthophosphate (orthoP) and myo‐inositol hexakisphosphate (IHP) at two depths (0–5 and 5–10 cm) in soils from two sites differing in fire severity: long‐unburned and heavily burned. Five years after the fire, there were increases in the total P and extractable inorganic P (H2O‐P, NaHCO3‐Pi, NaOH‐Pi, D.HCl‐Pi and C.HCl‐Pi) contents. Conversely, there was a decrease in organic P (NaHCO3‐Po, NaOH‐Po and C.HCl‐Po). The adsorption of soil for orthoP at a depth of 0–5 cm was dependent on the amount of P supplied by the soil; at low concentrations, heavily burned soil showed a lower adsorption than long‐unburned soil. However, at high concentrations, the adsorption of heavily burned soil was significantly larger than that of long‐unburned soil. With respect to IHP, the adsorption of long‐unburned soil was also more significant at depths of 0–5 cm. The adsorption of both orthoP and IHP of heavily burned soil was significantly higher than that of long‐unburned soil at a depth of 5–10 cm. Fire also decreased the binding degree (k1) of soil‐P and the solid phase at depths of 0–5 and 5–10 cm. The increase in P adsorption capacity outweighed the addition of P from ash, resulting in less leaching in heavily burned areas and minimizing P loss. Overall, forest fires significantly affect the adsorption characteristics and P fractions of soil, specifically orthoP and IHP, during the initial stage of postfire recovery. These effects are closely related to the direct influences of iron oxide, soil organic matter and aluminium oxide in the soil and may even produce relatively long‐term effects on the P recycling process of the entire ecosystem.

Role of self-efficacy, knowledge sharing, mediated adaptability and external environment change as moderators of readiness for change

It is vital for higher education to improve its ability to anticipate and implement long-lasting change. Private higher education institutions are currently facing challenges in governance that hinder their ability to upgrade their accreditation grade to "excellent ". The involvement of institutional management is a key factor in enabling these institutions to compete on a national and international level. Research methodology uses confirmatory factor analysis to test the hypotheses developed while structural equation modeling is employed as the equation model. The sample population comprised 16 private tertiary institutions in South Sumatra, Indonesia. The study focused on the heads of study programs resulting in a total of 195 respondents. The results indicated that self-efficacy and knowledge sharing did not have a direct impact on readiness for change whereas adaptability exhibited a direct influence. The study demonstrated that adaptability acts as a mediator between self-efficacy and knowledge sharing towards readiness for change. The final model test results confirmed adaptability as a mediating variable. Additionally, the study revealed that external environmental change did not moderate the relationship between adaptability and readiness for change. Changes of a high calibre that promote a sustained digital education transformation are necessary due to the real-world effects on Indonesia's higher education system. The ability to adapt and embrace new technology is very important factors for higher education performance to face readiness for change in private higher education, especially in management units.

Do spirituality and emotional intelligence improve the perception of the ability to provide care at the end of life? The role of knowledge and self-efficacy.

Spirituality, emotional intelligence, and palliative care (PC) knowledge have a positive and direct influence on self-efficacy and on perception of preparation and ability to provide end-of-life (EOL) care. The aim of this work is to propose a conceptual model that relates spirituality, emotional intelligence, PC knowledge, self-efficacy, and the preparation and ability to provide EOL care by doctors and nurses. Quantitative, exploratory, descriptive, and inferential study applied to doctors and nurses in a hospital in the north of Portugal, between May and July 2022. The data collection instrument includes a questionnaire. The relationships between latent variables were evaluated using structural equation models by the partial least squares method using the Smart PLS 3.0 software. It was obtained the previous authorization of the ethics committee. The results (n = 380) indicate that self-efficacy, spirituality, and PC knowledge have a positive influence on the ability to provide EOL care. Emotional intelligence and spirituality have a direct and positive effect on self-efficacy. There is no direct influence of emotional intelligence on the ability to provide EOL care, but emotional intelligence has an indirect effect mediated by self-efficacy. Spirituality, self-efficacy, and emotional intelligence are very important for the ability of doctors and nurses to provide EOL care. The identification of predictive factors of the ability to provide EOL care and the determination of the relationship between them can improve the provision of EOL care, reduction of health costs, timely and early referral of people to PC, and increase life quality.

Bioecological aspects and integrative taxonomy of sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotomina)

Objective: Describe the characteristics of the environment that influence the development of sand flies, and compile information about the integrative taxonomy of these insects. Bibliographic review: Sand flies (Diptera: Psychodidae: Phlebotominae) are insects, some species of which are involved in the transmission of neglected diseases such as leishmaniasis. Thus, greater attention must be paid to ecological factors and anthropogenic changes, as they have a direct influence on the presence of the vector and the adaptation of species, favoring changes in the sylvatic cycle of the disease and consequently promoting an increase in reported cases of the disease. Traditional taxonomic identification of these insects is done by analyzing morphological characters, but the use of DNA sequences has been used by researchers as an integrative approach, since molecular techniques provide reliable, fast and efficient identifications as well as the elucidation of species complexes and the discovery of new taxa, and there are good reference sequences for many species. Final considerations: Therefore, it is crucial to understand the diversity and bioecology of vectors, including integrative taxonomy, to understand and support future research to help control leishmaniasis.

Rousseau, Franklin and Bourgeois Liberalism

This article suggests that the anti-bourgeois, illiberal character of Rousseau’s political philosophy has been exaggerated. In order to illustrate this point, I juxtapose Rousseau’s thought with that of Benjamin Franklin, the acknowledged embodiment of bourgeois liberalism in the eighteenth century. Although Franklin and Rousseau are often cast as opposites today, in their own time they were commonly linked – with, I think, considerable justification. Without insisting that Rousseau had a direct influence on Franklin, I argue that Franklin’s moral-political thought was largely consonant with that of his supposed antithesis.

How Important is e-WOM for an Agrotourism in Batu City? Second-order PLS-SEM Approach

Objectives: The objective of this research is to compare the influence of each dimension (first-order e-WOM) with its second-order e-WOM. This research also examined how e-WOM can influence tourists' decision behavior and satisfaction in Batu City agrotourism. Methodology: This research was conducted using primary data in 2023. The population in this study consists of 119 respondents who have visited agrotourism in Batu City and obtained information about agrotourism from e-WOM on Social Networking Services. The data was processed using Warp-Partial Least Square (WarpPLS) 8.0.Finding: E-WOM has proven itself as a valuable source of information for tourists visiting agrotourism in the city of Batu. With the help of e-WOM, tourists can obtain more up-to-date insights into the conditions of agrotourism. Agrotourism operators also benefit since they receive free marketing from their tourists.Conclusion: Overall, this research results indicate a contrasting comparison between the first-order e-WOM model and the second-order e-WOM. Only two dimensions of e-WOM, namely the valence of opinion and content, have a direct influence on visitation decisions and tourist satisfaction. Additionally, this study demonstrates that all three dimensions of e-WOM collectively have a significant impact on tourist behavior. Second-order e-WOM has a more substantial impact on tourists in influencing their decisions and satisfaction levels.

Pairwise Additivity and Three-Body Contributions for Density Functional Theory-Based Protein-Ligand Interaction Energies.

The prediction of protein-ligand binding energies is crucial in computer-assisted drug design. This property can be calculated in a straightforward fashion as the difference in the energies between a binding site-ligand complex and the separated binding site and ligand. Often, though, there is value in knowing how different amino acid residues in the protein binding site interact with the ligand. In this case, the interaction energy can be calculated as the sum of pairwise energies between each amino acid residue in the binding site and the ligand, and the sum of these energies is often equated with the total interaction energy. The validity of this pairwise additivity approximation can be assessed by experimental evidence, such as double-mutant cycles. In this work, we test the pairwise additivity approximation on the sulfotransferase-l-DOPA complex for 16 density functional theory (DFT) methods with varying degrees of exact (Hartree-Fock) exchange. Several "families" of functionals are studied, including BLYP, B3LYP, and CAM-B3LYP, as well as M06L, M06, and M062X. We also calculate the three-body contributions to interaction energy for the same DFT methods and assess when they are significant. We find that the amount of exact exchange or other nonlocal contributions has a direct influence on how closely the sum of pairwise energies approximates the total interaction energy. We also find that three-body interactions can be significant and that their significance can be predicted with good accuracy.

ECONOMIC INEQUALITY OF THE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF POLAND, SPAIN AND UKRAINE

The current work analyzes uneven regional economic development in Poland, Spain and Ukraine. It was determined that the unevenness of the economic development of the regions of the studied countries can be assessed by comparing statistical indicators, namely the index of the unevenness of the economic development of the countries, the dynamics of changes in the population of the studied countries and the comparison of regional economic statistics, in particular the indicators of the gross regional product. In order to identify the unevenness of regional economic development and justify the possible ways of their smoothing or levelling, the article uses such integral indicators as the coefficient of variation or Williamson’s coefficient of variation, weighted coefficient of variation, relative mean deviation and Theil Index. The study of the indicated indicators made it possible to reveal contradictions in their analysis and the need to calculate additional indicators, as well as the influence of factors of direct and indirect influence on the economic unevenness of the regional development of the studied European countries.

Comparative Studies Between Lattice Dynamical Study and Normal Coordinate Analysis of HTSC EuBa2Cu3O6

It is generally believed, that is needed to sign post the way to the development of materials with high critical temperature, even to room temperature and above, is the formulation of a proper theoretical understanding of superconductivity in these materials. Many experimental studies suggest an intimate relationship between phonons, and the superconducting transition in the high Tc oxides.For example, Raman frequencies and line widths, elastic constants and thermal conductivity all show changes around Tc. Nevertheless, there is not a well- developed theory to explain how the phonons are related to Tc.. In conventional superconductors, the role of phonons is well established. However, in high Tc superconductors, the role played by phonons is controversial. Even if they do not mediate the pairing mechanism, they are likely to play an important subsidiary role. Hence there is much interest in the phonon structure of these materials. The normal state and superconducting properties are believed to arise from the strongly correlated motion of the electronic charge carries (electrons or holes) in the CuO2 planes that essentially define the layered cuprate HTSC. The other cations and oxygen atom in the structure provides structural stability and control the number of charge carries in the CuO2 planes. The Raman spectroscopy of HTSC explains that the role played by the phonons in the mechanism of superconductivity in the perovskite family of superconductors is not fully understood although a large series of experimental results has shown considerable coupling of some phonons to electronic excitation in these systems. Optical spectroscopy and especially Raman and Infrared spectroscopy revealed strong direct influences of the changes in the electronic states to the phonon at the center of the Brillouin.

Green Competence Building, Green Employee Involvement and Green Work-Life Balance to Improve Environmental Performance through Green Organizational Culture

This research is motivated by environmental performance. The aim of this study is to determine the influence of the relationship between green competence building, green employee involvement, and green work-life balance on environmental performance, mediated by the green organizational culture of the Head of Study Program at PGRI Higher Education Institutions in East Java. The grand theory of this research is the AMO theory (Ability, Motivation, Opportunity). The sampling technique uses a saturated or census sample. The sample in this study consists of 185 respondents, the Head of Study Program at PGRI Higher Education Institutions in East Java, through a self-administered survey. The research instrument uses a questionnaire and is analyzed using SEM analysis, employing the Warp PLS Version 7.0 analysis tool to analyze the outer model, inner model, and hypothesis testing using p-value. The results show a significant direct influence of green competence building and green employee involvement on green organizational culture. Subsequently, green organizational culture significantly influences environmental performance. The relationship with green work-life balance does not significantly affect green organizational culture.
 This research indicates that there is an intervening variable effect, namely green organizational culture, on the relationship between green competence building, green employee involvement, and environmental performance. However, green organizational culture cannot act as an intervening variable in the relationship between green work-life balance and environmental performance. This study demonstrates that the practices of green competence building, green employee involvement, and green organizational culture play a crucial role in the implementation of environmental policies to promote environmental performance at PGRI Higher Education Institutions in East Java.
