Multifunctional Copper Nanoclusters for the Detection of pH and Berberine Hydrochloride.

The copper nanoclusters (CuNCs) have been garnered significant attention owing to their low cost raw materials, outstanding optical properties, environmental friendliness and good biocompatibility. In this study, copper nanoclusters stabilized by Acid Chromic Blue K (ACBK-CuNCs) were synthesized. The optimal excitation wavelength of the synthesized ACBK-CuNCs is 344nm and the optimal emission wavelength is 460nm. Its fluorescence intensity can be retained for more than two weeks, which indicated that the antioxidant capacity of the synthesized ACBK-CuNCs is strong. It was noted that the fluorescence intensities of the synthesized ACBK-CuNCs significantly increased with the decrease of pH. There are good linear correlation between the fluorescence intensity ratio of the system to the fluorescence intensity of the original solution (F/F0) and the pH of the medium. Based on this finding, a method for fluorescence analysis to detect the pH of solution was developed. Additionally, it was discovered that the fluorescence intensity of CuNCs could be quenched efficiently by Berberine hydrochloride (BH), and there is a favorable linear relationship between the change value of fluorescence intensity of CuNCs ((F0 - F) / F0) and the concentration of BH. This gave rise to the establishment of a fluorescence analysis method for determining the concentration of BH. Simultaneously, visual quantitative detection for BH and pH was achieved based on smartphones and colorimetric analysis software using ACBK-CuNCs as the fluorescent probes.

Does green mean paying? Environmental innovations and financial performance: Meta-Analytical insights/approach

Interest in the impact of environmental innovations on firms’ financial performance has surged over the past two decades, but studies show inconsistent results. This paper addresses these divergences by analyzing 74 studies from 1996 to 2022, encompassing 4,390,754 firm-year observations. We developed a probability-based meta-analysis approach to synthesize existing knowledge and found a generally positive impact of environmental innovations on financial performance, with a probability range of 0.85 to 0.97. Manufacturing firms benefit more from environmental innovations than firms in other industries, and survey-based studies report a more favorable relationship than those using secondary data. This study contributes to existing knowledge by providing a comprehensive aggregation of data, supporting the resource-based view (RBV) and the Porter hypothesis. The findings suggest significant policy implications, highlighting the need for tailored incentives and information-sharing mechanisms, and underscore the importance of diverse data sources in research to ensure robust results.

In light of social media's pervasiveness in daily life, the study aims to determine how these platforms affect academic performance in this particular sociocultural context. Through surveys and questionnaires, information was gathered from 144 participants including students, instructors, parents, and university administration using a mixed-methods approach. The results showed that Facebook (r=0.480) and TikTok (r=0.550) had favorable relationships with academic achievement, indicating that social media can improve academic engagement when utilized carefully. But the study also emphasizes the necessity for students to utilize social media under supervision because excessive use can lead to distraction. Future research prospects are highlighted along with the ramifications for parents and educators.

Illuminating Hypomania in Early Adolescence: Associations Between Dark-Side and Bright-Side Hypomania, Insomnia, and Health-Related Quality of Life.

Background: Adolescence is a period of significant psychological, physical, and social changes. During this time, adolescents face increasing responsibilities, such as making educational and career decisions, managing peer relationships, and becoming more independent from their families. These changes are often accompanied by mood fluctuations and altered sleep patterns. This study aimed to explore the relationships between bright- and dark-side hypomania, insomnia, and various dimensions of health-related quality of life (HRQOL), such as self-esteem, family and peer relationships, social acceptance, and autonomy. Methods: A total of 1475 participants in mid-adolescence (mean age: 13.4 years; range: 11-16 years; 48.8% males) completed a series of self-reported questionnaires covering sociodemographic information, hypomania, including dark and bright-side hypomania, insomnia, and HRQOL. Results: Compared to participants with no or dark-side hypomania, participants with bright-side hypomania reported better HRQOL. Bright-side hypomania was significantly associated with favorable relationships with parents and home, peer relationships, and the school environment and with less insomnia. In contrast, dark-side hypomania showed significant associations with lower scores for self-esteem, moods and emotional states, peer relationships, social acceptance, the school environment, and more insomnia. Conclusions: Among a larger sample of adolescents, bright- and dark-side hypomania were associated with a broad, though specific variety of aspects of HRQOL and insomnia. Given that standardized programs are available to improve insomnia and resilience as a proxy of psychological well-being, such interventions may have the potential to improve adolescents' psychological well-being and sleep quality concomitantly.

Perceived Coach Social Support and Coach-Athlete Relationship: A Moderated Mediation Model of Coach-Athlete Attachment and Proactive Personality

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate how perceived social support from coaches leads to favorable coach-athlete relationships via the mediation of coach-athlete attachment and the moderation of proactive personality. Method: The study consisted of a cross-sectional self-report survey with a sample of 302 professional athletes recruited and measured by psychological questionnaires of perceived coach social support, coach-athlete attachment, coach-athlete relationship, and proactive personality. The structural equation model examined the moderated mediation model. Results: The results indicated that coach-athlete attachment partially mediated the prediction of perceived coach-social support in the coach-athlete relationship. Proactive personality played a moderated role between perceived coach social support and coach-athlete attachment. Conclusions: This study suggests that coaches should pay more attention to athletes to build up the coach-athlete relationship, while they also need the athletes’ positive feedback.

Unveiling the effect of social media marketing activities on logistics brand equity and reuse intention

Reserving existing customers is significantly more meaningful than acquiring new customers, particularly for logistics service providers. This long-standing view emphasizes the importance of customer retention for maintaining favorable relationships between logistics service providers and their clients. Drawing on the framework of the stimulus-organism-response model, this study proposes a model that integrates entertainment, interaction, trendiness, customization, and electronic word-of-mouth to examine how social media marketing activities and trust affect brand equity and reuse intentions for logistics services, both directly and indirectly. Empirical evidence was obtained from an online survey using WeChat and QQ, which administered a structured questionnaire to individuals with prior experience in logistics services at least once a week. We collected the data using a purposive sampling method from 932 participants, who represented the demographic of adult Chinese consumers. By applying partial least squares structural equation modeling, this study shows that interaction, trendiness, customization, electronic word-of-mouth, and trust positively affect the brand equity of logistics services, while the effect of entertainment on brand equity is not significant. In addition, the brand equity of logistics services positively affects the logistics service reuse intention. Furthermore, the result of the mediation analysis revealed that brand equity mediates the connection between interaction, trendiness, customization, electronic word-of-mouth, trust, and logistics service reuse intention. This study’s uniqueness lies in its thorough analysis of logistics service providers’ social media marketing efforts, trust, and their combined impact on brand equity and reuse intention. This study offers valuable perspectives on the significance of brand equity within the logistics sector, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing brand equity enhancement to improve performance and competitive edge.

Sustainability and Social Farming in the Czech Republic: The Impact of Selected Factors on the Employment of Disadvantaged Persons in Agriculture

In the agricultural sector, where factors like the type of agriculture, management techniques, and access to funding are critical, disadvantaged people face significant barriers to employment. This study investigated the effects of these factors, especially with regard to sustainability and social farming, on the employment of disadvantaged persons in the Czech Republic. We sent questionnaires to 2036 agricultural businesses within the Czech Republic, and the data we received were sorted and analyzed. There was a favorable relationship between farm size and employment chances. Disadvantaged people were more likely to be hired by large farms, especially those larger than 250 hectares. Furthermore, mixed-production farms were more capable of employing disadvantaged persons, unlike conventional farms, which reached their maximum employment levels at one, three, or six workers. Organic farming had a more even distribution, while biodynamic farming showed limited capacity to employ disadvantaged persons. Farms involved in fundraising had fewer farms but employed more disadvantaged persons (number of employees peaked at two, four, and six), while farms that did not engage in fundraising hired more disadvantaged individuals (peaked at one and three employees). The motivations for employing disadvantaged persons were primarily social concerns, as well as labor shortages and economic and innovative factors. These findings show the importance of agricultural enterprises using these factors to improve the social and economic well-being of disadvantaged persons.

Women’s Entrepreneurship for Poverty Alleviation: Impact of Mission Shakti in Odisha, India

The study analyzes the impact of women’s entrepreneurial efforts on rural poverty (RP) reduction across two resource-scarce regions of Odisha, India. Its main objectives are creating creative home-based ventures (HBVs) and long-term RP solutions. The analysis assesses how home-based entrepreneurs’ sociocultural, economic and educational backgrounds affect the development of HBVs and the mitigation of RP. A women-led project in Odisha called Mission Shakti uses self-help groups and business ventures to empower women. The original data was gathered from 363 respondents in Odisha who were members of the Mission Shakti group. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was applied to investigate the correlations between the constructs, and AMOS (Analysis of Moment Structures 21.0) and SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences 20.0) were used for the analysis. The findings indicate that RP alleviation through Mission Shakti in Odisha and entrepreneurship have a statistically significant and favourable relationship. The additional findings of the study demonstrate that respondents’ sociocultural capabilities, rather than their educational and economic backgrounds, have a considerable and favourable influence on the expansion of their home-based enterprises and that the improvement of RP alleviation is more positively impacted by the qualitative growth of entrepreneurship than by the numeric growth. The study’s concentration on woman entrepreneurs in Mission Shakti’s rural Khordha and Angul areas is one of its limitations. It is possible to carry out comparable research in other Indian areas where the rural populace is significantly deprived. Policymakers in rural Odisha should consider the findings to address targeted RP. Thus, this report recommends that home-based businesses in rural Odisha should actively explore entrepreneurship to reduce poverty. Additionally, the study offers a helpful lesson to different parties involved in programs to reduce poverty in other developing nations. The integration of capacity theory and SEM in the setting of a rising economy such as Odisha, India, contributes to the body of knowledge in this research regarding the relationship linking entrepreneurship and the alleviation of RP.

Ketogenic Approaches for the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease.

Dementia represents one of the largest and most urgent public health problems across the globe. Modeling projections have estimated that delaying the onset of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by 6 months would reduce the prevalence by 5%, while a delay of 12 months would reduce the prevalence by 10%. One approach to achieving a delay in the onset of AD is to investigate lifestyle interventions that could be widely implemented with a favorable risk-benefit relationship and socioeconomic profile. Amongst such interventions, there is increasing evidence to support the use of ketogenic interventions in AD. Indeed, it is well known that cerebral glucose metabolism is impaired in AD, even at a preclinical stage, and a growing body of literature suggests that these findings may represent a primary pathogenic mechanism leading to neurodegeneration. Ketones are readily taken up by the brain and can serve as an alternative energy source for neurons and glia, hypothetically bypassing the glucose uptake deficit in AD. In this invited review we discuss the preclinical as well as clinical work aiming to increase ketones as a primary intervention in AD, including variations of the ketogenic diet, medium chain triglyceride supplementation, and newer, more experimental approaches.

Adaptation of a modified Elixhauser comorbidity index to isolate the impact of body mass index on survival outcomes in patients with cancer in a large integrated healthcare system.

124 Background: Variable impacts of body mass index (BMI) on overall survival (OS) and cancer-specific survival (CSS) have been described in patients with cancer, with existing data highlighting both detrimental effects and malignancy-specific benefits. Real-world data derived from integrated healthcare systems are underexplored in this context, and tight control of confounding using validated tools such as the Elixhauser Comorbidity Index (ECI) is rarely employed in pre-existing studies. Herein, we offer a highly refined description of the impact of BMI on cancer-specific outcomes in a large patient cohort using a targeted ECI model. Methods: 153,270 patient records were abstracted from an integrated healthcare system from 2010-2018, including descriptors of age, race/ethnicity, income, disease stage, and treatment regimens. Standardized derivation of BMI within one year prior to diagnosis was performed and categorized by World Health Organization definitions. A custom ECI was designed to exclude ICD codes for obesity to effectively isolate the impact of BMI on downstream analyses. Kaplan-Meier survival estimates of OS and CSS were constructed, and univariate and multivariate Cox proportional hazard (PH) modeling was performed to determine hazard ratios (HR). Results: When normalized to healthy BMI in multivariate modeling, we found a favorable dose-dependent relationship of overweight and obese BMI on OS and CSS independent of age, race/ethnicity, income, modified ECI score, cancer stage, or therapeutic regimen (Table). This advantage to OS and CSS was not as strongly reflected in severely obese patients, though still significant compared to healthy BMI counterparts. Being underweight was a negative prognostic indicator for OS and CSS in all patients compared to a healthy BMI. Conclusions: We demonstrate a beneficial impact of increased BMI on OS and CSS in a large cohort of patients treated in an integrated healthcare model independent of tightly controlled confounding. Specifically, we highlight the utility of isolating obesity using a targeted ECI model for comorbidity adjustment, which may provide a more robust measure of the influence of BMI on survival. Our findings raise questions regarding attention to adequate control of confounding in prior studies, as well as the potential benefit of removing variation in healthcare delivery in understanding these outcomes.

The Association of Overweight and Obesity With Hypertension and Diabetes Mellitus At Al-Diwaniyah Province

Background: Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) represent a major concern for public health. and one of the main reasons for the global illness burden. Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are still the main reason for mortality worldwide and are a major contributor to both health loss and excessive expenditures on healthcare. Aim of study: to determine the prevalence of overweight and obesity among hypertensive or diabetic patients and identify the effect of these conditions on them. Methods: This observational cross-sectional study applied a convenient sample of 322 patients diagnosed with Hypertension or Type 2 diabetes, or both, who attended the Specialized Center for Diabetes and Endocrinology (SCDE) and Internal medicine consultant at Al-Diwaniyah province. An interview-based questionnaire is composed of several questions that have been gathered by researchers and assessed by a number of professionals. From the tenth of September to the beginning of February, the data was collected. Results: A total of 322 participants enrolled in this study, we found that the prevalence rate of obesity and overweight in groups of patients was 37.3% and 53.1%, respectively. There was a significant association between control of blood pressure in the diabetic group (p = 0.007), and there was a significant difference in mean age among the diabetes group, the hypertensive group, and the group with both diseases: 51.02 ±9.64 years, 50.58 ±12.06 years, and 54.14 ±9.97 years, respectively (p = 0.018). The difference in mean BMI among study groups was significant (p = 0.003); the highest mean BMI was seen in patients with both type 2 DM and hypertension, followed by the hypertension group, and the least mean BMI was noted in the diabetic group. Conclusions: The prevalence rate of obesity was higher than that of overweight among study groups. Age and education level were important risk factors for the development of comorbidity among patients. people with hypertension and type 2 diabetes had the greatest mean BMI, followed by hypertension patients, while diabetic patients had the lowest mean BMI (p = 0.003). The study discovered a substantial inverse connection between HDL-C, triglyceride, serum creatinine, and cholesterol in hypertensive patients, while A favorable association was identified among VLDL-C “and” cholesterol, whereas in diabetic patients, there was a significant favorable relationship between “LDL-C,” “VLDL-C,” “cholesterol,” and “TG” and an inverse connection between “HDL-C,” cholesterol, and blood urea.

Insights into the relationship between professional values and caring behavior among nurses in neonatal intensive care units

ObjectiveProfessional values are crucial for delivering high-quality care in neonatal intensive care units while caring behavior impacts nurses’ performance and well-being. The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between professional values and caring behavior among nurses in neonatal intensive care units.MethodsA cross-sectional study involving 172 nurses was conducted using the Nursing Professional Value Scale and Caring Behaviors Assessment Tool. The study was carried out between 1 October and 5 December 2023.ResultsNurses demonstrated a moderate to high degree of professional commitment, with a mean professional value score of 91.1 ± 11.1. The mean score for caring behavior was 99.7 ± 12.4. The highest-rated domain was setting up a supporting, protective, and corrective environment, with a mean score of 22.8 ± 2.7. A low positive relationship was found between the supportive, protective, and corrective environment domain and nurses’ professional value (r = 0.18, p = 0.017), as well as between overall caring behavior and nurses’ professional value (r = 0.16, p = 0.038).ConclusionThe results indicate a favorable relationship between professional values and caring behavior, especially in areas like establishing a supportive workplace. However, both professional value and caring behavior needs improvement in certain aspect. Enhancing these aspects could further strengthen their relationship, ultimately improving the quality of care provided to newborn patients and their families.Practice implicationsTo cultivate a positive work environment and instill caring behaviors and professional values among NICU nurses, it is imperative to allocate sufficient time and resources. This investment is necessary for nurturing a culture of care, improving patient outcomes, and fostering a supportive environment for NICU nurses, newborn, and their families.

Association of healthy eating index-2015 and overactive bladder: a cross-sectional study.

The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the association of HEI-2015 and overactive bladder (OAB) in a large population. Data were retrieved from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2020 datasets. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression were performed to evaluate the association between HEI-2015 and OAB. The restricted cubic spline (RCS) model was conducted to investigate the dose-response relationship. Totally, this study included 29,206 participants with 6,184 OAB patients among them. The higher continuous HEI-2015 value was independently associated with lower OAB incidence (OR: 0.87; 95%CI: 0.78, 0.98). Similarly, the highest quartile categorical HEI-2015 was significantly associated with a lower OAB odds (OR: 0.72; 95%CI: 0.52, 0.99) when compared with the lowest quartile. The RCS curve also showed a favorable non-linear dose-response relationship between HEI-2015 and OAB. A higher HEI-2015 had a favorable association with OAB and there was a non-linear dose-response relationship between them. We suggest adherence to the United States diet recommendation as a potential behavioral prevention of OAB. Large-scale long term prospective cohort studies across various regions are needed to verify the findings of this paper.

Construction of novel π-bridged fluorescent probes for Fe2+ monitoring in living cells and foods.

Fe2+ plays a crucial role in biological systems as an essential trace element in the body. Iron is absorbed by the body through food and Fe2+ is also an important component of living cells; therefore, quantitative testing of Fe2+ in food and in living cells is of great importance. This paper presents the development of a novel π-bridge EDOT-based N-oxide turn-on fluorescent probe, designated as FeE, for the detection of Fe2+. The probe has been shown to exhibit excellent sensitivity, a favorable linear relationship between fluorescence signal intensity and Fe2+ concentration, and an effective immunity to interference. The probe has low cytotoxicity and has been successfully used to detect Fe2+ in cells using laser confocal fluorescence microscopy. It is also possible to determine the presence of Fe2+ in animal blood, spinach, apple juice, red wine, mineral water and metal cans.
