Wheat beer would be a desirable source of quality soluble dietary fibre (SDF). The effects of wort preparing parameters on SDF in wheat beer were investigated in the present work. Non-starch polysaccharides and polyphenols were greatly influenced by wheat malt percentage (WMP), while resistant protein (RP) was augmented by extending resting at 63°C. By verification test, the optimised parameters for high SDF wheat beer were WMP 55%, resting for 20 min at 43°C, 20 min at 50°C, and 20 min at 63°C, in which SDF was 2,178 mg/L. Most of SDF in wheat wort were retained in beer during fermentation and maturation (R = 0.561*). And SDF of wheat beer contained more RP and polyphenols. The present work contributes in controlling SDF content in wheat beer. It also has important guiding significance for beer brewing enterprises to develop new products rich in SDF.

PurposeEmployees' perceived inclusion has been shown to have beneficial effects on their effective functioning at work (e.g. engagement, creativity, and task performance); however, workplace inclusion is also believed to have a profound impact on employees' functioning beyond the work domain, such as on their family domain. The primary goal of our study thus is to explore how perceptions of workplace inclusion influence employees' family lives.Design/methodology/approachWe tested our hypotheses by surveying 125 employees from a cotton textile manufacturing company in China over 10 consecutive workdays.FindingsDaily perceived leader inclusion was negatively related to employees' daily resource depletion at work, which in turn was positively related to employees' daily work-to-family conflict. The direct effect of daily perceived leader inclusion on resource depletion and the indirect effect of daily perceived leader inclusion on work-to-family conflict were stronger for employees with more discrimination experience in their lives.Practical implicationsLeaders should be aware of their unique roles they play in shaping individual inclusion perceptions and should enact actions that satisfy employees' desires for both belongingness and uniqueness. Moreover, leaders should also be attentive to those who are susceptible to discrimination when promoting inclusion initiatives.Originality/valueOur study proposes an important facet of workplace inclusion—perceived leader inclusion—and offers a resource perspective to understand how leader inclusion may impact employees' functioning beyond the work domain to affect their family lives.

Underwater vibration detection is of great importance in personal safety, environmental protection, and military defense. Sealing layers are required in many underwater sensor architectures, leading to limited working‐life and reduced sensitivity. Here, a flexible, superhydrophobic, and conductive tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanosheets‐wrapped sponge (SCWS) is reported for the high‐sensitivity detection of tiny vibration from the water surfaces and from the grounds. When the SCWS is immersed in water, a continuous layer of bubbles forms on its surfaces, providing the sensor with two special abilities. One is sealing‐free feature due to the intrinsic water‐repellent property of SCWS. The other is functioning as a vibration‐sensitive medium to convert mechanical energy into electric signals through susceptible physical deformation of bubbles. Therefore, the SCWS can be used to precisely detect tiny vibration of water waves, and even sense those caused by human footsteps, demonstrating wide applications of this amphibious (water/ground) vibration sensor. Results of this study can initiate the exploration of superhydrophobic materials with elastic and conductive properties for underwater flexible electronic applications.
