The interplay among environmental sensitivity, job stressors, and leadership styles on employee well-being.

Investigating the role of individual differences in Environmental Sensitivity for well-being and stress at work is an emerging area of research with significant potential for practical implications in organizational management and human resources. Recent studies have begun to explore how individuals with high sensory-processing sensitivity (SPS) may be more vulnerable to work-related stress than their less sensitive peers, but may also derive greater benefits from positive job resources when available. The present study aims to investigate the role of leadership style in the complex interplay between individual differences in sensitivity, stress at work, and general well-being.

Accurate prediction of black rot epidemics in vineyards using a weather-driven disease model.

Background: Grapevine black rot caused by Guignardia bidwellii is a serious threat in vineyards, especially in areas with cool and humid springs. A mechanistic, weather-driven model was recently developed for the detailed prediction of black rot epidemics. The aim of this work was to evaluate the model by comparison with observed disease development in leaves and clusters in a vineyard in north Italy from 2013 to 2015.

Production of Pycnidia and Conidia by Guignardia bidwellii, the Causal Agent of Grape Black Rot, as Affected by Temperature and Humidity.

Black rot, caused by the fungus Guignardia bidwellii, is a polycyclic disease affecting grape leaves and berries. In environmentally controlled experiments and in a 3-year field study, the effects of temperature and relative humidity (RH) were assessed on the following growth parameters of G. bidwellii: (i) formation of pycnidia and cirri in grape leaf lesions, (ii) production and germination of conidia, and (iii) length of the period between lesion appearance and pycnidia production.

Different types of embolization before surgical excision of haemangiomas of the face.

The management of hemangiomas of the face depends on several clinical factors. Many treatments have been recommended for the management of patients with hemangiomas. However, most of them have not shown good results in terms of post-treatment morphology and function of the organs.

Cefotetan pharmacokinetics in volunteers with various degrees of renal function.

Twenty-six volunteers with various degrees of renal function were given a single 1-g dose of cefotetan intravenously over 30 min. Concentrations of cefotetan and cefotetan tautomer in plasma and urine were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. The pharmacokinetic parameters for cefotetan were calculated according to a two-compartment open model.
