Soy sauce is a traditional Japanese seasoning made from fermented soybeans. As global demand grows, identifying novel soy sauce applications and benefits must become a priority. While conventional soy sauce undergoes heat-sterilization, filter-sterilization produces a lighter-colored (raw) soy sauce with preserved mold enzyme activities. As the impact of raw soy sauce during food (especially seafood) preparation remains unstudied, the present study compared the differential impact of raw and conventional soy sauce on tuna culinary properties. First, soy sauce color and protease activity were assessed. Next, tuna was marinated in soy sauce and non-alcoholic mirin for 0, 10, 35, or 60 min. Finally, marinated tuna properties (mass, salt content, surface salt penetration, color, rupture load, surface wetness, and protein content) were objectively assessed, and subjective sensory evaluation (appearance, aroma, wetness, softness, saltiness, umami, and overall taste) was performed by a blinded panel. Findings confirmed the lighter color of and the preservation of protease activity in raw soy sauce. Raw soy sauce significantly enhanced surface tenderization, salt penetration, and wetness, while both soy sauces increased surface firmness via salt-induced dehydration. Respondents significantly preferred the appearance and saltiness level of raw soy sauce-marinated tuna, and the umami and overall taste of tuna marinated in raw soy sauce for 60 min. The findings of this study, to our knowledge, demonstrate for the first time the potential culinary superiority of raw soy sauce in certain applications, and support future research to further define such applications.

The Impact

We review the literature on the impact of litigation risk (a form of external governance) on corporate prospective disclosure decisions as reflected in management earnings forecasts. From this analysis we identify four key areas for future research. First, litigation risk warrants more attention from researchers; currently it tends to be treated as a secondary factor impacting MEF decisions. Second, it would be informative from a governance perspective for researchers to explore why litigation risk has a differential impact on MEF decisions across countries. Third, understanding the interaction between litigation risk and forecast/firm-specific characteristics is important from management, investor and regulatory perspectives but is currently under-explored Last, research on the litigation risk and MEF attributes link is piecemeal and incomplete, requiring more integrated and expanded analysis.

Purpose – Examination of Pro-Environmental Purchasing Behaviour (PPB) and its potential components. Investigation of the number and the size of relevant consumer segments. Determining the factors able to describe the segment of frequent pro-environmental purchasers. This paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Investigation of PPB as a total multi-item variable. Disclosure of the PPB components. Examination of the Purchase component and disclosure of its clusters. Focus on the cluster of frequent purchasers. Estimation of the demographic, attitudinal and psychographic variables able to describe and predict these consumers. Findings – Two components of PPB were found, namely Conservation (high consumer engagement in this) and Purchase (low consumer engagement in this). Inside the Purchase component of PPB three clusters were found, indicating, respectively, low, average and relatively high consumers’ involvement. Consumers in Cluster 3 (frequent pro-environmental purchasers) are fewer than in the past. They were found to be negatively influenced by environmental unconcern attitudes and Materialism, while they were positively affected by locus of control over politics and Universalism. Research limitations/implications – No demographic profile of frequent purchasers. Geographical area limited (a potential) generalisation of results. Social desirability effect. Future research with reference to evolutions in pro-environmental post-purchasing or non-purchasing behaviours during the years of economic crisis. Practical implications – Fewer consumers would buy ecological products if these were not comparable enough with the conventional products in terms of price and efficacy. Originality/value – First effort to explore the impact of the economic crisis on PPB in Greece. Encompassed new categories of ecological products. Revealed two components inside PPB (Purchase and Conservation) as well as number and size of consumer segments inside the Purchase component. Formulation of a partial profile of the frequent pro-environmental purchasers. Impact of Universalism on PPB was for the first time examined.

The Relationship

While many clinical approaches to family therapy emphasize the impact of past stressors and losses on family functioning, there has been little empirical support for this position. This pilot study of twenty-four families examined the relationship between stressors and all deaths over four generations in a family's history, and the current functioning of family members. Results were mixed, but provided some intriguing findings about the differential impact of loss histories on mothers and fathers, and some evidence for the multigenerational and systemic effects of the stress/loss history. Methodological problems are discussed, and suggestions for future research are made.

Introduction: The Longitudinal Integrated Clerkship (LIC) as a pedagogical model in medical education is a burgeoning area of interest as an alternative to a traditional, rotation- (block) based curriculum and presents a distinct set of considerations. A large number of studies examine the impact on students participating in LIC programs, but fewer assessments exist for the preceptors involved. This study sought to understand changes in expectations and experiences following LIC program participation. Methods: We conducted a survey-based prospective cohort study of preceptors before and after first-time LIC program participation. Five-point Likert-type questions were grouped into four subscales determined by areas of practice and preceptor role: clinical, administrative, professional, and educational. For statistical analyses of the nonmatched responses we used Pearson Chi-Square measures of association and independent t-tests. Results: Forty-seven of 84 (56%) preceptors responded to the presurvey and 42% responded to the postsurvey (35/84), totaling 82 unique responses. Thirty-nine (48%) were female, 64 (79%) had over 5 years teaching experience, and 61 (74%) had prior rotation-based clerkship experience. Only the clinical subscale (evaluating aspects of physical exam, history taking, and patient relationship with physician and student) was significantly different pre- (M1= 3.09[SD=0.40]) to post-LIC (M2= 3.47[SD=0.29]) showing a positive change at post-LIC participation (P=0.03). Conclusion: For first-time LIC preceptors in a new LIC program, participation led to improvements in clinical practice without detriment to administrative, professional, or educational roles. Future research should examine changes among individual preceptors over time as well as assessments of students, including knowledge, skills, and attitude outcomes.

Abstract Several studies have investigated longitudinal changes in health status and functional ability but few have examined whether inequalities in healthy ageing varied across different countries. The aim of this study is to investigate trajectories of health metric scores (generated in previous symposium abstract) over the ageing process and examine the impact of education and wealth on the trajectories across eight cohorts in the ATHLOS consortium (N=135,828) using multilevel regression modelling. After adjusting for age, gender and study, higher levels of education (9.52; 95% CI: 9.30, 9.74) and wealth (8.06; 95% CI: 7.84, 8.28) were associated with higher baseline scores but had minimal impacts on decline rates. These effect sizes varied across different cohort studies and the inequality gradient was found to be strongest in the Health Retirement Study from US. Future research may investigate potential mechanisms which might explain the differential impact of education and wealth in different societies.

With the focus on microplastic in current research, macroplastic is often not further considered. Thus, this review paper is the first to analyse the entry paths, accumulation zones, and sinks of macroplastic in the aquatic, terrestrial, and atmospheric environment by presenting transport paths and concentrations in the environment as well as related risks. This is done by applying the Source–Pathway–Receptor model on macroplastic in the environment. Based on this model, the life cycle of macroplastic is structurally described, and knowledge gaps are identified. Hence, current research aspects on macroplastic as well as a sound delimitation between macro- and microplastic that can be applied to future research are indicated. The results can be used as basic information for further research and show a qualitative assessment of the impact of macroplastic that ends up in the environment and accumulates there. Furthermore, the applied model allows for the first time a quantitative and structured approach to macroplastic in the environment.

Wildland fires are occurring more frequently and affecting more of Earth's surface than ever before. These fires affect the properties of soils and the processes by which they form, but the nature of these impacts has not been well understood. Given that healthy soil is necessary to sustain biodiversity, ecosystems and agriculture, the impact of fire on soil is a vital field of research. Fire Effects on Soil Properties brings together current research on the effects of fire on the physical, biological and chemical properties of soil. Written by over 60 international experts in the field, it includes examples from fire-prone areas across the world, dealing with ash, meso and macrofauna, smouldering fires, recurrent fires and management of fire-affected soils. It also describes current best practice methodologies for research and monitoring of fire effects and new methodologies for future research. This is the first time information on this topic has been presented in a single volume and the book will be an important reference for students, practitioners, managers and academics interested in the effects of fire on ecosystems, including soil scientists, geologists, forestry researchers and environmentalists.

Seneca Valley Virus (SVV) is an oncolytic virus of the Picornaviridae family, which has emerged in recent years. The impact of SVV on host cell translation remains unknown. Here, we showed, for the first time, that SVV infection cleaved poly(A) binding protein cytoplasmic 1 (PABPC1). In SVV-infected cells, 50 kDa of the N terminal cleaved band and 25 kDa of the C terminal cleaved band of PABPC1 were detected. Further study showed that the viral protease, 3Cpro induced the cleavage of PABPC1 by its protease activity. The SVV strains with inactive point mutants of 3Cpro (H48A, C160A or H48A/C160A) can not be rescued by reverse genetics, suggesting that sites 48 and 160 of 3Cpro were essential for SVV replication. SVV 3Cpro induced the cleavage of PABPC1 at residue 437. A detailed data analysis showed that SVV infection and the overexpression of 3Cpro decreased the protein synthesis rates. The protease activity of 3Cpro was essential for inhibiting the protein synthesis. Our results also indicated that PABPC1 inhibited SVV replication. These data reveal a novel antagonistic mechanism and pathogenesis mediated by SVV and highlight the importance of 3Cpro on SVV replication.

In relatively young patients (men <55 and women >65 years of age), first-time hospitalisation for cardiovascular disease (CVD) strikes without warning since the traditional cardiovascular risk factors are often normal or only slightly elevated. Therefore, we need non-traditional cardiovascular risk markers more closely related to CVD that can reliably predict future CVD in individuals, making better targeted prevention and more individualised treatment possible. However, it has been difficult to find non-traditional cardiovascular risk markers suitable for risk assessment, underlining the importance of future research into the complex mechanisms that lead to CVD. Better understanding of these complex mechanisms might enable us to find better risk markers and improve future cardiovascular risk assessment and treatment.
