Teaching Sexual Consent With a Narrative-Based Card Game.

Women in college experience alarming rates of sexual violence, despite universities' attempts to teach consent. Students often find the teaching unrealistic, believing it violates everyday sexual narratives. This case study of 27 students at a large American university playing and discussing , considers the possibilities for narrative-based card games to provide authentic consent learning.

Targeting alcohol use in high-risk population groups: a US microsimulation study of beverage-specific pricing policies.

Background: Raising retail prices on alcoholic beverages preferred by high-risk groups (males, those of low socioeconomic status, and those with heavy alcohol use) might selectively reduce their alcohol consumption. However, the differential impact of beverage-specific price increases on US population groups has yet to be studied. This study aimed to simulate the effect of beverage-specific price increases on alcohol use within subgroups of the adult US population defined by sex, educational attainment, and alcohol use category.

Can alcohol use explain the increase in educational inequalities in all-cause mortality after 2010 in the USA? A three-way interaction analysis.

Background And Aims: In the United States, the educational gap in all-cause mortality and life expectancy has dramatically increased since 2010. This study investigated whether alcohol use has contributed to the increasing educational gap in mortality by testing the three-way interaction of alcohol use, education and period on all-cause mortality.

Design: Cohort study with 9 years' follow-up on average.

Rsp5-mediated ubiquitination of a functional analog of the Rim8 arrestin facilitates Rim pathway activation in .

Pathogenic microorganisms use varied cellular processes to adapt to the particular stresses encountered in the infected host. These stresses include rapid alterations in ambient temperature, nutrient availability, and extracellular pH. Fungal pathogens, therefore, rely on the activation of stress response pathways such as the Pal/Rim pathway to adapt to the neutral pH encountered when infecting mammals.

Temperature and pH dynamics during carcass decomposition and implications for disease management.

Infectious diseases in wildlife threaten not only those species but also domestic animals and human health, necessitating strategies to prevent pathogen spread. The natural decomposition of carcasses may lead to pathogen inactivation due to associated increases in temperature and changes in the pH of the carcass and in the surrounding soil. In this study, the internal temperatures of 64 decomposing wild boar carcasses, the pH in the topsoil beneath 74 carcasses, and the pH of muscle and rectal tissue from 12 carcasses were monitored throughout the decomposition process.
