Impact of Environmental Uncertainty on Depression and Anxiety Among Chinese Workers: A Moderated Mediation Model.

Purpose: Environmental uncertainty has reached unprecedented levels in recent years. While there is substantial knowledge about the connection between environmental uncertainty and organizational outcomes, limited attention has been devoted to investigating its impact on employees' depression and anxiety symptoms. Grounded in job demands-resources theory, this study aims to explore the relationship between environmental uncertainty and employees' depression and anxiety symptoms, and it further investigates the mediating role of work pressure and the moderating role of union practices.

The lack of PPARα exacerbated the progression of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis in mice with spleen deficiency syndrome by triggering an inflammatory response.

Background: In addition to abnormal liver inflammation, the main symptoms of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) are often accompanied by gastrointestinal digestive dysfunction, consistent with the concept of spleen deficiency (SD) in traditional Chinese medicine. As an important metabolic sensor, whether peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARα) participates in regulating the occurrence and development of NASH with SD (NASH-SD) remains to be explored.

Methods: Clinical liver samples were collected for RNA-seq analysis.

Encapsulation of (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) within phospholipid-based nanovesicles using W/O emulsion-transfer methods: Masking bitterness and delaying release of EGCG.

A novel phospholipid-based nanovesicle (PBN) was developed to encapsulate (-)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a major polyphenol in green tea, to mask its bitter taste and expand its application in food products. The PBN was formed using W/O emulsion-transfer methods and showed a multilayer membrane nanovesicle structure (around 200 nm) observed with TEM. The PBN possessed a high encapsulation efficiency (92.

Intelligent Identification Method of Geographic Origin for Chinese Wolfberries Based on Color Space Transformation and Texture Morphological Features.

Geographic origins play a vital role in traditional Chinese medicinal materials. Using the geo-authentic crude drug can improve the curative effect. The main producing areas of Chinese wolfberry are Ningxia, Gansu, Qinghai, and so on.

How Fear of External Threats Plays Roles: An Examination of Supervisors' Trait Anger, Abusive Supervision, Subordinate Burnout and CCB.

In times of uncertainty, such as during COVID-19, many organizations experience profit decline, and employees develop a fear of external threats, such as organizational layoffs. However, most of the literature focuses on how people's fear influences their well-being. Less is known about how employees' fear of external threats influences their workplace behaviors.

Atypical patterns of tone production in tone-language-speaking children with autism.

Speakers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are found to exhibit atypical pitch patterns in speech production. However, little is known about the production of lexical tones (T1, T2, T3, T4) as well as neutral tones (T1N, T2N, T3N, T4N) by tone-language speakers with ASD. Thus, this study investigated the height and shape of tones produced by Mandarin-speaking children with ASD and their age-matched typically developing (TD) peers.

Humble Leadership Benefits Employee Job Performance: The Role of Supervisor-Subordinate and Perceived Leader Integrity.

Although humility is a hallmark of many beloved and respected leaders, yet little is known about the impact of humble leadership on employee job performance. Drawing on social exchange theory and attribution theory, the current study suggests a moderated mediation model to elucidate how and when humble leadership encourages follower job performance. Analyses of multilevel, multisource data from 204 subordinates and 68 supervisors showed that humble leadership and employee job performance supervisor-subordinate is moderated by perceived leader integrity, such that the indirect and positive relationship between humble leadership and employee job performance supervisor-subordinate would be strengthened when perceived leader integrity is high rather than low.
