Linguistic changes in the transition from summaries to abstracts: The case of the Journal of Experimental Medicine
No full textThe introduction of Abstracts to replace article summaries in 1990 recognized changes to linguistic reporting that have been apparent during the century. The 1970s showed a dramatic increase in the informal language used in article abstracts and summaries. The Journal of Experimental Medicine (JEM) demonstrates an increase in first-person pronouns within article abstracts and summaries, but moves from singular to plural to represent the increase in multi-authored research works. Linguistic changes during the century also include a greater focus on the future rather than the past, and an increase in language that indicates ‘clout’ which signifies author self-confidence
The effect of article characteristics on citation number in a diachronic dataset of the biomedical literature on chronic inflammation: An analysis by ensemble machines
No full textCitations are core metrics to gauge the relevance of scientific literature. Identifying features that can predict a high citation count is therefore of primary importance. For the present study, we generated a dataset of 121,640 publications on chronic inflammation from the Scopus database, containing data such as titles, authors, journal, publication date, type of document, type of access and citation count, ranging from 1951 to 2021. Hence we further computed title length, author count, title sentiment score, number of colons, semicolons and question marks in the title and we used these data as predictors in Gradient boosting, Bagging and Random Forest regressors and classifiers. Based on these data, we were able to train these machines, and Gradient Boosting achieved an F1 score of 0.552 on classification. These models agreed that document type, access type and number of authors were the best predicting factors, followed by title length
Olives and their production waste products as sources of bioactive compounds
No full textA review. Olives are rich in phenolic antioxidants that, during olive oil prodn., end up either in olive oil or, for their major part, in the waste water. In fact, during the malaxation process, i.e. the continuous washing of the olive paste with warm water prior to the procedure of sepn. of the oil from the paste, a considerable amt. of water is employed. This water, in addn. to that endogenously contained in the olives, make up to 50% of the total yield of the olive paste (olive oil amts. to ∼15%) and is named "waste water". In fact, due to the failure to develop a suitable end-of-pipe treatment technol., olive mill waste waters (OMWW) are currently discarded by olive oil manufacturers. In vitro, phenolic components of olive oil and its waste water have been shown to exert potent biol. activities including, but not limited to, antioxidant actions. Catechols from olive mill waste water can be isolated in rather pure form: 10-20 per cent of the total phenols is recovered and the only bioactive catechol is hydroxytyrosol. This ortho-diphenol has been shown by several authors to exert potent antioxidant and addnl. biol. activities, both in vitro and in vivo

No full textWellbeing: Causes and consequences of emotion regulation in work settings
No full textEmotion regulation processes are a crucial aspect of the working role in jobs which require employee-customer interactions: What kinds of regulation processes are activated, with what frequency, and what are their correlates and consequences are important aspects to consider because of their potential implications for the well-being of individuals. To investigate these issues, a set of studies was carried out with Italian workers (N 1⁄4 769) performing service jobs in different sectors. Job-related, socio-demographic, and individual psychological variables were taken into account. The results confirmed the hypothesis that in service job-roles emotional labour (EL) is a component whose negative and positive implications for employees’ well-being need to be considered. Emotional labour, embedded in a net of relationships with such job variables as frequency and duration of client-interaction, can result in high psychological costs for service workers. In particular, surface acting regulation was found to have a personal cost, indexed by the burnout dimensions of emotional exhaustion and depersonalizatio
