    Abstract Background: Governments globally aim to reduce the intake of unhealthy foods. Many policies exist that aim to address foods high in saturated fat, salt and sugar (HFSS) but the identification of ultra-processed foods (UPF) have presented a greater challenge due to the lack of an appropriate policy definition. To support policymakers, we provide approaches that can support governments to identify both HFSS foods and UPFs.
    Methods: Four approaches combining elements of UPF definitions (i.e., presence of additives) and HFSS definitions were compared attempting to simplify and standardize the identification of less healthy products. Nationally representative food purchase data from NielsenIQ linked with nutrition facts label data were used to examine the mean proportion of product volume purchased by US households to be targeted. Differences between approaches were examined using Student
    Findings: In 2020, 50% of 33,054,687 products purchased by US households were considered UPFs (65% of foods and 38% of beverages) and 43% HFSS (65% of foods and 26% of beverages), however there was not 100% agreement between the two definitions (P < 0.0001). By starting with HFSS criteria and adding elements of UPF (colors and flavors), we were able to provide a method with 100% agreement between the identification of UPFs and HFSS products.
    Interpretation: Results demonstrated how combining HFSS criteria with UPF criteria can be used to identify less healthy foods and ensure policymakers have both a simple and accurate method to target products for policy intervention.

    Abstract Background: Food additives have been used mainly in the past century to perform specific functions in foods. Some types of food additives have been linked to adverse health outcomes, yet there is little research examining food additives in the US food supply.
    Objective: To examine the proportion of products purchased by US households containing four common technical food additives using time-specific food composition data and examine whether purchases have changed over time.
    Participants/setting: Nielsen Homescan Consumer Panels, 2001 and 2019.
    Main outcome measures: The proportion of packaged food products containing common types of food additives purchased by US households was determined overall and by food category.
    Statistical analysis performed: Differences were examined using Student t test; P value < 0.001 was considered significant.
    Results: Between 2001 and 2019, the proportion of food products purchased by US households that contained additives increased from 49.6% to 59.5% (P < 0.001). The proportion of carbonated soft drinks purchased containing flavors decreased, with a subsequent increase in purchases containing nonnutritive sweeteners. Baby foods showed a 20% increase in the proportion of purchases containing additives and >15% increase in the proportion of purchases containing three or more additives.
    Conclusions: There is convincing evidence that US household purchases of common types of technical food additives are increasing. Despite some positive changes such as a decrease in the use of added flavors in carbonated soft drinks, across most food categories an increase in purchases of all types of products containing additives was observed. In particular the finding that purchases of baby food products containing additives have increased substantially is crucial in informing future research in this area and warrants further investigation.

    Abstract Social isolation and disability are established risk factors for poor nutrition. We aimed to assess whether social isolation is associated with diet quality specifically among adults with disabilities. This cross-sectional analysis used data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2013-2018. Adults with a disability, who were not pregnant, breastfeeding, or missing dietary intake data were included (n = 5,167). Disability was defined as a physical functioning limitation based on difficulty with any activities of daily living, instrumental activities of daily living, lower extremity mobility activities, or general physical activities. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015 measured diet quality; higher scores correspond to higher diet quality. We computed a social isolation index by summing single status, living alone, and two social engagement difficulty measures (one point for each component met; maximum 4 points). Multivariable linear regression, controlling for demographic and health covariates, estimated differences in HEI scores for dietary intake data, by social isolation score. Over half of HEI scores were < 51, corresponding to "poor" diet quality. Higher social isolation score was associated with lower vegetable and seafood/plant proteins intake. Single status and one of two social engagement measures were associated with lower scores on certain adequacy components. Differences were modest. There was little evidence of effect modification by age or gender. Adults with disabilities are not meeting national dietary standards; improving diet quality is a priority. Whether social isolation is associated with specific dietary components in this population requires further investigation. Further research is also needed among younger adults.

    Abstract Understanding how youth perceive household economic hardship and how it relates to their behavior is vital given associations between hardship and behavioral development. Yet, most studies ignore youth's own perceptions of economic hardship, instead relying solely on caregiver reports. Moreover, the literature has tended to treat economic hardship as a stable force over time, rather than a volatile one that varies month-to-month. This study addressed extant limitations by collecting monthly measures of economic hardship, specifically caregiver- and youth-reported material deprivation and youth-reported financial stress, and youth internalizing and externalizing problems from 104 youth-caregiver dyads (youth: 14-16 years, 55% female, 37% Black, 43% White) over nine months. We examined month-to-month variability of these constructs and how youth-reports of material deprivation and financial stress predicted their behavior problems, controlling for caregiver-reports of material deprivation. We found that hardship measures varied month-to-month (ICCs = 0.69-0.73), and youth-reported material deprivation positively predicted internalizing when examining both within- and between-individual variability (

    Abstract Command systems integrate sensory information and then activate the interneurons and motor neurons that mediate behavior. Much research has established that the higher-order projection neurons that constitute these systems can play a key role in specifying the nature of the motor activity induced, or determining its parametric features. To a large extent, these insights have been obtained by contrasting activity induced by stimulating one neuron (or set of neurons) to activity induced by stimulating a different neuron (or set of neurons). The focus of our work differs. We study one type of motor program, ingestive feeding in the mollusc

    Abstract Background: Industrial facilities are not located uniformly across U.S. communities, but how the burden of exposure to carcinogenic air emissions may vary across population characteristics is unclear. We evaluated differences in carcinogenic industrial pollution among major sociodemographic groups in the U.S. and Puerto Rico.
    Methods: We evaluated cross-sectional associations of population characteristics including race and ethnicity, educational attainment, and poverty at the census tract level with point-source industrial emissions of 21 known human carcinogens using regulatory data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) comparing the highest emissions (tertile or quintile) to the referent group (zero emissions/non-exposed) for all sociodemographic characteristics were estimated using multinomial, population density-adjusted logistic regression models.
    Results: In 2018, approximately 7.4 million people lived in Census tracts with nearly 12 million pounds of carcinogenic air releases. The odds of tracts having the greatest burden of benzene, 1,3-butadiene, ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, and nickel emissions compared to non-exposed were 10%-20% higher for African Americans, whereas White populations were up to 18% less likely to live in tracts with the highest emissions. Among Hispanics and Latinos, odds were 16%-21% higher for benzene, 1,3-butadiene, and ethylene oxide. Populations experiencing poverty or with less than high school education were associated with up to 51% higher burden, irrespective of race and ethnicity.
    Conclusions: Carcinogenic industrial emissions disproportionately impact African Americans, Hispanics and Latinos, and people with limited education or experiencing poverty, thus representing a source of pollution that may contribute to observed cancer disparities.

    Abstract The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is widely used as a host cell for recombinant protein production due to its fast growth, cost-effective culturing, and ability to secrete large and complex proteins. However, one major drawback is the relatively low yield of produced proteins compared to other host systems. To address this issue, we developed an overlay assay to screen the yeast knockout collection and identify mutants that enhance recombinant protein production, specifically focusing on the secretion of the Trametes trogii fungal laccase enzyme. Gene ontology analysis of these mutants revealed an enrichment of processes including vacuolar targeting, vesicle trafficking, proteolysis, and glycolipid metabolism. We confirmed that a significant portion of these mutants also showed increased activity of the secreted laccase when grown in liquid culture. Notably, we found that the combination of deletions of OCA6, a tyrosine phosphatase gene, along with PMT1 or PMT2, two genes encoding ER membrane protein-O-mannosyltransferases involved in ER quality control, and SKI3, which encode for a component of the SKI complex responsible for mRNA degradation, further increased secreted laccase activity. Conversely, we also identified over 200 gene deletions that resulted in decreased secreted laccase activity, including many genes that encode for mitochondrial proteins and components of the ER-associated degradation pathway. Intriguingly, the deletion of the ER DNAJ co-chaperone gene SCJ1 led to almost no secreted laccase activity. When we expressed SCJ1 from a low-copy plasmid, laccase secretion was restored. However, overexpression of SCJ1 had a detrimental effect, indicating that precise dosing of key chaperone proteins is crucial for optimal recombinant protein expression. This study offers potential strategies for enhancing the overall yield of recombinant proteins and provides new avenues for further research in optimizing protein production systems.

    Abstract This study aims to provide practical insights for developing trauma-informed interaction strategies between service providers and participants in homeless service organizations (HSOs). Twelve providers and 17 participants were interviewed for a qualitative study on trauma-informed care (TIC) within an HSO. Thematic analysis revealed six themes regarding provider approaches to TIC interactions with participants: provide a sounding board, promote safety, foster understanding and respect, build relationships and trust, facilitate connection to services, and ensure flexibility in service provision. Participants noted three themes regarding their views of TIC interactions with providers: possess education and experience, build relationships and trust, and demonstrate supportive interpersonal styles. This study describes the application of TIC within an HSO, emphasizing the importance of supportive, positive interactions that promote understanding, respect, and trust. It highlights key factors in service provision. The findings expand our understanding of TIC implementation in HSOs and suggest areas for improvement.
