Background: Awareness of the relationship between everyday occupations and subjective experience could help clients make changes that promote health.
Purpose: This study evaluated user-perceived utility of the Daily Experiences of Pleasure, Productivity, and Restoration Profile (PPR Profile), a time-use survey designed to uncover users' experiences of pleasure, productivity, and restoration and to promote awareness of how these experiences are related to daily occupations.
Method: Eighteen participants completed the PPR Profile on 2 days within I week and were subsequently interviewed. Content analysis was used to uncover themes.
Findings: Analysis revealed that completion of the PPR Profile requires time and energy, completion more than once is useful, and the PPR Profile contributes to awareness. Four subthemes of awareness were identified: awareness of the here and now, insights into one's occupations, context matters, and what is and what might be.
Implications: Results support the utility of the PPR Profile to promote users' awareness of their occupations and related subjective experiences. This awareness may encourage positive change. Further research is recommended to continue to evaluate the PPR Profile's clinical utility.

College of Horticulture, Sichuan Agricultural University, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China. Electronic address:
Article Synopsis
- Photosynthesis is crucial for plant growth and the study focuses on a leaf color mutant of 'Benihoppe' strawberry, which has darker green leaves and enhanced chlorophyll and carotenoid levels, leading to a higher photosynthetic rate.
- Transcriptome analysis reveals that specific genes related to chloroplast development and chlorophyll synthesis are significantly upregulated in the mutant, while degradation genes are downregulated, resulting in greater chlorophyll accumulation.
- The study provides insights into the genetic mechanisms behind the dark-green leaf phenotype in strawberries, offering potential resources for developing new varieties with improved photosynthetic efficiency.
Genome-Wide Association Study on Cowpea seed coat color using RGB images.

December 2024
Department of Applied Biosciences, Kyungpook National University, Daegu, 41566 Republic of Korea.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the genetic factors behind seed coat color variations in cowpeas, highlighting its importance for nutrition, consumer choice, and environmental adaptation.
- Using a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on cowpeas with red, green, and blue seed coats, the researchers found 16 key single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across several chromosomes.
- The results indicate a complex genetic structure influencing seed coat color, with specific candidate genes linked to pigment production and the potential for improving cowpea nutritional quality and market appeal.

genus (Tamaricaceae) is widely distributed across the desert and semi-desert regions of Northern China, playing a crucial role in the restoration and protection of desert ecosystems. Previous studies mainly focused on the physiological responses to environmental stresses; however, due to the limited availability of genomic information, the underlying mechanism of morphological and ecological differences among the species remains poorly understood. In this study, we presented the first catalog of expressed transcripts for , a sympatric species of xerophyte .

Background: High-frequency episodic migraine (HFEM) has gained attention in the field of headache research and clinical practice. In this narrative review, we analyzed the available literature to assess the evidence that could help decide whether HFEM may represent a distinct clinical and/or biological entity within the migraine spectrum.
Methods: The output of the literature search included 61 papers that were allocated to one of the following topics: (i) socio-demographic features and burden; (ii) clinical and therapeutic aspects; (iii) pathophysiology; and (iv) classification.
Seeing the unseen in characterizing RNA editome during rice endosperm development.
Commun Biol
October 2024
National Genomics Data Center, China National Center for Bioinformation, Beijing, China.
Article Synopsis
- Rice endosperm is crucial for seed germination and grain yield, yet the role of RNA editing during its development is not well understood.
- The study investigates the RNA editome in rice endosperm, revealing that most editing occurs in mitochondrial genes and affects protein structure through C-to-U changes.
- The researchers classify mitochondrial genes based on editing patterns and identify candidate proteins involved in the RNA editing process, enhancing our understanding of endosperm development.
