Spatial Variations of Atmospheric Alkylated Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons across the Western Pacific to the Southern Ocean: Unexpected Increasing Deposition

Author(s): Zhu FJ; Lu XM; Jia JW; Zhang X; Xing DF; Cai MH; Kallenborn R; Li YF; Muir DCG; Zhang ZF; Zhang X;

Spatial variations of atmospheric alkylated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (Alk-PAHs) are key to understanding their long-range atmospheric transport (LRAT). However, limited Alk-PAHs data have hindered their LRAT characterizations on a global scale. In this study, 49 Alk-PAHs were measured in ...

Imaging flow cytometry-based cellular screening elucidates pathophysiology in individuals with Variants of Uncertain Significance

Author(s): Muffels IJJ; Waterham HR; D' Alessandro G; Zagnoli-Vieira G; Sacher M; Lefeber DJ; Van der Vinne C; Roifman CM; Gassen KLI; Rehmann H; Van Haaften-Visser DY; Nieuwenhuis ESS; Jackson SP; Fuchs SA; Wijk F; van Hasselt P;

Background: Deciphering variants of uncertain significance (VUS) represents a major diagnostic challenge, partially due to the lack of easy-to-use and versatile cellular readouts that aid the interpretation of pathogenicity and pathophysiology. To address this challenge, we propose a high-through ...

Recyclability and recovery of carbon from waste printed circuit boards within a circular economy perspective: A review

Author(s): Wang Z; Huang G; An C;

Waste printed circuit boards (WPCBs) are a significant component of electronic waste (e-waste) and are among the fastest-generating waste flows. The potentially negative impacts caused by e-waste on the environment and human health pose an increasingly apparent threat to people's everyday lives and well-being. The nonmetallic fraction (predominantly c ...

Exposure to hate in online and traditional media: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the impact of this exposure on individuals and communities

Author(s): Madriaza P; Hassan G; Brouillette-Alarie S; Mounchingam AN; Durocher-Corfa L; Borokhovski E; Pickup D; Paillé S;

The problem: People use social media platforms to chat, search, and share information, express their opinions, and connect with others. But these platforms also facilitate the posting of divisive, harmful, and hateful messages, targeting groups and individuals, based on their race, religion, gend ...

Developmental heterogeneity of school burnout across the transition from upper secondary school to higher education: A 9-year follow-up study

Author(s): Nadon L; Morin AJS; Gilbert W; Olivier E; Salmela-Aro K;

This study utilized piecewise linear growth mixture analysis to examine the developmental heterogeneity of school burnout among a sample of 513 (67.6% females) Finnish students as they transitioned from upper secondary school to higher education (ages 17-25 years). Encompassing five measurement points (two before the transition and three after), our resul ...

Assessment of risk for aromatic hydrocarbons resulting from subsea Blowouts: A case study in eastern Canada

Author(s): Yang Z; Chen Z; Xin Q; Lee K;

There is increasing concern over the environmental risks associated with deepwater petroleum exploration activities. The integration of environmental risk assessment and oil spill modeling can help to understand and quantitatively characterize the potential risks from subsea blowouts in specific regions. This study integrates a novel deepwater oil spill m ...

Defects in meiosis I contribute to the genesis of androgenetic hydatidiform moles

Author(s): Rezaei M; Liang M; Yalcin Z; Martin JH; Kazemi P; Bareke E; Ge ZJ; Fardaei M; Benadiva C; Hemida R; Hassan A; Maher GJ; Abdalla E; Buckett W; Bolze PA; Sandhu I; Duman O; Agrawal S; Qian J; Vallian Broojeni J; Bhati L; Miron P; Allias F; ...

To identify novel genes responsible for recurrent hydatidiform moles (HMs), we performed exome sequencing on 75 unrelated patients who were negative for mutations in the known genes. We identified biallelic deleterious variants in 6 genes, FOXL2, MAJIN, KASH5, SYCP2, MEIOB, and HFM1, in patients ...

Exploring the Qualitative Experiences of Administering and Participating in Remote Research via Telephone Using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Blind: Cross-Sectional Study of Older Adults

Author(s): Dumassais S; Grewal KS; Aubin G; O' Connell M; Phillips NA; Wittich W;

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic caused a drastic shift in the practice of research and clinical services. It has been noted that cognition measured via in-person versus remote methods differ substantially, and it is possible that subjective and experiential differences exist between modalities. Objective: The aim of the study is to explore the percepti ...

On the nature, predictors, and outcomes of work passion profiles: A generalisability study across distinct types of employees

Author(s): Gillet N; Morin AJS; Brault S; Becker M; Verbeke I;

Thus far, little research has adopted a person-centred approach to investigate the nature of work passion profiles. As a result, our understanding of the most commonly occurring combinations of harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP) in the workplace remains limited. To achieve a more refined understanding of the nature of these work passion pr ...

An integrated environmental and economic assessment for the disposal of food waste from grocery retail stores towards resource recovery

Author(s): Zhou S; Chen Z; Huang X; Yang X; Lyu L; An C; Peng H;

Food waste gives rise to many environmental problems. A large amount of food waste is produced by grocery retail stores. It is therefore important to apply efficient food waste treatment technologies with minimal environmental impact and investigate the optimal approach for food waste collection, transportation, and treatment. In the present study, a life ...

Early Socio-Emotional Difficulty as a Childhood Barrier to the Expected Benefits of Active Play: Associated Risks for School Engagement in Adolescence

Author(s): Kosak LA; Harandian K; Bacon SL; Archambault I; Correale L; Pagani LS;

Active play allows children to develop social and cognitive skills, which could lead to higher school engagement. Little is known about the role of child socioemotional difficulty in these associations. This study aims to examine the interaction between active play and socioemotional difficulty in childhood and their prospective association with academic ...
