This study provides a neuropsychological examination of the conceptualization of perceived person-environment fit in relation to its cognitive and affective components. It addresses key challenges in the current fit literature through empirically clarifying the theoretical "black box" of how individuals cognitively compare themselves to their environment, fundamentally examining affective aspects of fit beyond correlational analysis, and exploring whether psychological and neural perspectives offer different conceptualizations of fit. Two functional magnetic resonance imaging studies, involving 62 and 41 working adults respectively, show that both lateral brain regions (associated with higher order cognition) and medial brain regions (associated with emotion processing) are activated when participants perceive fit.

Introduction: Drawing on the Motivation-Ability-Opportunity (MAO) framework and social information processing (SIP) theory, we hypothesized that supervisors demonstrate the highest level of servant leadership when their prosocial motivation (motivation), perspective taking (ability), and perceived collaborative-based HR configuration (opportunity) are all high. Moreover, we also hypothesized that servant leadership plays an important channeling role that links the three-way interaction and subordinates' workplace safety behaviors.

Method: We recruited 167 supervisor-subordinate dyads across high-risk and non-high-risk industries via LinkedIn and authors' professional networks.

The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the SSIS Autism Spectrum Scale Teacher Form, a scale of the SSIS-Rating Scales (Social Skills Improvement System Rating Scales) created by Gresham and Elliott. The scale consists of 15 items divided into two subscales: social skills and problem behaviors related to autism. The participants included 541 school-age children aged 4 to 18 years old (266 females, 275 males).

Background: In recent years, rising temperatures due to climate change have become significant stressors in aquatic environments, impacting disease incidence, growth, and gut microbiota in fish. Cold-water species, such as the olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus), are particularly vulnerable to increasing water temperatures. Despite its economic importance as a species farmed in East Asia, research on temperature-dependent shifts in the gut microbiota and metabolome of olive flounder remains limited.

The success of tumor prosthesis relies on the preclusion of deep infection and local recurrence in limb sparing surgery. The orthopedic implants enabling to simultaneously possess the antibacterial function and anticancer ability have become a desirable local therapy in the treatment of bone cancer. In this regard, we proposed a promising concept of the sequential release in a dual-drug system by combing titania nanotubes and chitosan as drug nanoreservoirs and sustained release films, respectively.

Background And Aims: Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) can cause liver fibrosis and lead to cirrhosis and cancer. As the effectiveness of antiviral therapy to reverse liver fibrosis is limited, We aimed to evaluate the effect of An-Luo-Hua-Xian pill (ALHX) on fibrosis regression in CHB patients treated with entecavir (ETV).

Methods: Treatment-naïve patients with CHB were randomly treated with ETV alone or combined with ALHX (ETV+ALHX) between October 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020.

Osteoporosis is characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility. Numerous studies have suggested that inflammation contributes to its pathogenesis. The neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are simple, noninvasive biomarkers that can reflect the inflammation status on human body.

Though early intervention can improve outcomes for children with motor disabilities, delays in diagnosis can impact the success of intervention programs. Prior work indicates that spontaneous kicking patterns can be used to model typical infant motor development to assist in the early detection of motor delays. However, abnormalities in spontaneous movements are not well defined or readily observable through traditional functional assessments.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM) is regarded as one of the most severe chronic metabolic diseases worldwide, which poses a great threat to human safety and health. The main feature of T2DM is the deterioration of pancreatic beta-cell function. More and more studies have shown that the decline of pancreatic beta-cell function in T2DM can be attributable to beta-cell apoptosis, but the exact mechanisms of beta-cell apoptosis in T2DM are not yet fully clarified.

Combustion of domestic solid fuels is a significant source of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Some oxygenated PAHs (o-PAHs) and PAHs with molecular weight of 302 (MW302 PAHs) are more toxic than the traditional 16 priority PAHs, whereas their emissions were much less elucidated. This study characterized the size-dependent emissions of parent PAHs (p-PAHs), o-PAHs, and MW302 PAHs from various combustion sources.

At present, construction of economical, efficient and stable electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is critical to alleviate the energy shortage. Theophylline (THP) can be easily extracted from natural plants, whose nitrogen atoms can chelate with metal ions. With assistance of THP, FeCo alloy was confined in N-doped carbon nanotubes (FeCo/NCNTs-800) by one-step pyrolysis of a mixture of the metal precursors, g-CN and THP.

Background: The ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has forced the development of vaccines. Reports have suggested that vaccines play a role in inducing autoimmune diseases (AIDs). Scattered cases have reported that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccines may promote thyroid disease, including Graves' disease (GD).

To achieve commercial applications of green fuel cells and rechargeable metal-air batteries, rational design and synthesis of low-cost, high-efficiency and ultra-stable transition metal-based electrocatalysts are of significant importance for alkaline oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). In this work, iron-cobalt (FeCo) nanoparticles-capped carbon nano-tubes/-porous nitrogen-doped honeycombed carbon composite (FeCo-CNTs/NHC-800) is synthesized by a water-regulated and bioinspired one-step pyrolysis method at 800 °C, where l-histidine behaves as the C and N sources combined by working as a chelating agent of Fe/Co. The formation mechanism is discussed by adjusting the pyrolysis temperature and water amount.

The goal of this study was to investigate the impact of different nutritional parameters in patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) who underwent surgical resection. A total of 620 patients with ESCC who underwent esophagectomy were analyzed. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to set the appropriate cutoff points for five nutritional parameters: serum albumin (SA), body mass index (BMI), geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI), prognostic nutritional index (PNI), and a new modified nutritional risk index (mNRI).

Currently, it is critical but a tricky point to develop economical, high-efficiency, and durable non-precious metal electrocatalysts towards oxygen reduction and oxygen evolution reaction (ORR/OER) in rechargeable Zn-air batteries. Herein, N, Mn-codoped three-dimensional (3D) fluffy porous carbon nanostructures encapsulating FeCo/FeCoP alloyed nanoparticles (FeCo/FeCoP@NMn-CNS) are prepared by one-step pyrolysis of the metal precursors and polyinosinic acid. The optimized hybrid nanocomposite (obtained at 800 °C, named as FeCo/FeCoP@NMn-CNS-800) exhibits outstanding catalytic performance in the alkaline electrolyte with a half-wave potential (E) of 0.

Article Synopsis
  • A new gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was created to identify and measure five potential genotoxic impurities (PGIs) in abiraterone acetate, including chloromethane and 2-bromopropane.
  • The method followed the International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) guidelines and showed strong linearity with a correlation coefficient over 0.995 for all PGIs in specified concentration ranges.
  • Extraction recoveries were high, and various quality metrics (like accuracy and stability) confirmed that this method is reliable for measuring trace levels of these impurities in drugs.
