Male Sex, Masculinization, Sexual Orientation, and Gynephilia Synergistically Predict Increased Sexual Jealousy.

A robust, cross-cultural sex difference is typically found in jealousy responses to reveal emotional versus sexual infidelity. The only factor that seems to moderate this sex difference is sexual orientation, with male heterosexuals conspicuously reporting the greatest distress to sexual infidelity. Attempts at considering additional effects of psychological feminization and masculinization on jealousy responses have proven less reliable.

Elements of Visuopathy of Prematurity Are Unified by Intermittent or Sustained Systemic Inflammation.

We hypothesize that the major pathologies associated with the visual system in preterm infants, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), cerebral visual impairment (CVI), and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), are unified by a common etio-pathogenesis involving intermittent and/or sustained systemic inflammation (ISSI). We refer to the resulting adverse visual outcomes (AVO) as "visuopathy of prematurity" (VOP). We present the published evidence supporting an etio-pathogenic paradigm centered around ISSI that begins before birth (early phase 1), is exacerbated in the newborn period (intermediate phase 2), and culminates in adverse visual and neurodevelopmental outcomes (late phase 3).

Effects of guest molecular occupancy and electric field on thermal conductivity of CO2 hydrates.

CO2 hydrate technology plays a pivotal role in carbon dioxide capture/storage, gas separation, and natural gas recovery from natural gas hydrates, while simultaneously serving as a cost-effective phase-change material for thermal energy storage. The thermal transport characteristics of CO2 hydrates are of particular importance in these promising applications. Here, the role of CO2 molecular occupancy and external electric fields on the thermal conductivity (κ) of sI-type CO2 hydrates is explored using equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations.

The online survey collected data with participants' consent, covering demographic information, household and housing contextual conditions, psychological responses to the energy crisis, energy-saving behaviours, energy performance improvement behaviours and intentions, and psychological factors influencing decision-making processes for energy-related behaviours. In May 2023, 3,514 participants were recruited from the KANTAR online panel for the first round, and 2,289 of them participated in the second round in November 2023.

Estimating overall survival of glioblastoma patients using clinical variables, tumor size, and location.

Background: Accurate prognosis of glioblastoma is crucial for better-informed treatment decisions, potentially leading to improved disease management. We investigated whether clinical variables, tumor size, and location, can serve as prognostic factors.

Methods: A retrospective, multicenter study enrolled 1318 adult patients with histopathologically confirmed glioblastoma undergoing first-time surgery, with survival censored for 188 patients.

Retinopathy of Prematurity and Neurodevelopmental and Quality-of-Life Outcomes at 10 Years of Age.

To evaluate, in a cohort of children born extremely preterm, the hypothesis that increasing severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is associated with less optimal vision, neurodevelopmental outcomes, and parent-reported quality of life.The Extremely Low Gestational Age Newborn study is a multicenter, longitudinal cohort study. Study participants were born before 28 completed weeks of gestation during the years 2002 to 2004 and were enrolled at birth at 14 U.

Utilizing the synergistic biophysical and biogeochemical processes to estimate the impacts of forest landscape characteristics on land surface temperature and carbon stock in southern China.

Forest landscape degradation leads to the deterioration of ecological processes and adverse climate impacts. Although individual biophysical (BPH) and biogeochemical (BGC) effects of forest change are relatively well-studied, their synergistic interactions and combined influences of the forest landscape on climate remain complex and not fully understood. The potential impact of forest landscape patterns on land surface temperature and carbon stock using highly reliable satellite observations and climate models was assessed.

Blue and fin whales in the Northern Mariana Islands: Their call characteristics and occurrence.

Many baleen whale vocalizations are species-, or even population-specific and can be used to monitor their occurrence. Although baleen whale occurrence has been well studied in parts of the Pacific Ocean, little is known about the seasonal distribution of blue and fin whales in the Western Pacific. Since 2010, a more concerted visual and acoustic survey effort has occurred around a very remote region of the western Pacific Ocean: the Northern Mariana Islands.

Assembling and Modeling Stacked Disordered Metasurfaces.

Disordered metasurfaces offer unique properties unattainable with periodic or ordered metasurfaces, notably the absence of deterministic interference effects at specific wavelengths and angles. In this work, we introduce a lithography-free nanofabrication approach to realize cascaded disordered plasmonic metasurfaces with submicrometer total thickness. We experimentally characterize their angle-resolved specular and diffuse reflections using the bidirectional reflection distribution function and develop accurate theoretical models that remain valid even at large incidence angles.

Surgical and health outcomes of non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy and severe scoliosis: A population-based, longitudinal study.

Health disparities are a global issue, yet most studies on nursing home health disparities have been conducted in the United States. In this scoping review, our objective was to synthesize methods used in U.

A new dataset of province- and prefecture-level human development index in China.

The Human Development Index (HDI) is widely recognized as a key measure for assessing progress in health, education, and income. China's remarkable advances in human development, coupled with pronounced internal disparities, present a unique context for examining regional development trajectories. Existing HDI datasets, however, often focus on national or provincial scales, leaving finer details at the prefecture level underexplored.

Solution-sheared supramolecular oligomers with enhanced thermal resistance in interfacial adhesion and bulk cohesion.

Developing strong, thermally resistant adhesives for load-bearing applications remains challenging. Here we report a class of solution-sheared supramolecular oligomers that exhibit exceptional adhesive strength and toughness across a broad temperature range. These adhesives achieve a debonding work up to 23.

Genome-wide association study of borderline personality disorder identifies 11 loci and highlights shared risk with mental and somatic disorders.

We conducted the largest genome-wide meta-analysis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) to date, with a discovery sample of 12,339 cases and 1,041,717 controls, and a replication study of 685 cases and 107,750 controls (all participants of European ancestry). We identified 11 independent associated genomic loci, and nine risk genes in the gene-based analysis. We observed a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) heritability of 17.

Teachers' experiences with the Back2School intervention-a pilot study addressing problematic school absenteeism.

Introduction: School absenteeism represents a concern for students, educators, and parents alike. Teachers' involvement is vital to students' school life. Consequently, integrating schools and teachers effectively in absenteeism interventions is of great importance.

Identifying students of concern. Primary school teachers' reflections on assessing students' general school functioning based on the concept of typicality.

Introduction: The present paper explores how Norwegian primary school teachers' reason and reflect when assessing students' general school functioning in Teacher's Report Form (TRF), where teachers are asked to compare students of concern with what is perceived as a typical student at the same age, regarding work effort, behavior, learning capacity and mood.

Methods: The teachers in the sample ( = 7) had recently filled out the TRF as part of their participation in The Echo Study, utilizing the cognitive behavior therapy program Emotion for sad and anxious children.

Results: The results show that teachers base their assessments much on person-relative, rather than group- or age relative comparisons, e.

Moderate and severe traumatic brain injury: abbreviated injury scale scoring and coding of traumatic axonal injury from early MRI.

Background: In this large prospective study of patients with moderate and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) examined with early magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we aimed to explore the differences in the occurrence and degree of traumatic axonal injury (TAI) reported on early MRI compared with (1) and (2) approach. The latter approach also allowed the assignment of TAI codes to patients with short periods of coma, sedated patients and patients with concurrent mass lesions, which are exclusion criteria in the original AIS-TAI scoring.

Methods: A total of 311 patients with moderate (n=156) or severe (n=155) TBI, aged 8–70 years, admitted to a regional Level 1 trauma center and examined with early head MRI within six weeks (median 9 days) were included.

Dementia risk prediction: A comparative analysis of the ANU-ADRI, CAIDE, CogDrisk, LIBRA, and LIBRA2 indices in the HUNT study.

Background/objective: Dementia is a major global health concern, necessitating effective risk assessment tools early intervention. This study compared the performance of five modifiable dementia risk indices - ANU-ADRI, CAIDE, CogDrisk, LIBRA, and LIBRA2 and a "demographics-only" (age, education) model.

Methods: We analyzed data from 5247 Norwegian participants in the Trøndelag Health Study (HUNT4 70+, 2017-2019) and dementia risk indices from baseline data in HUNT3 (2006-2008).

ESR Essentials: juvenile idiopathic arthritis; what every radiologist needs to know-practice recommendations by the European Society of Paediatric Radiology.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a major contributor to chronic diseases, affecting around 1-2 in 1000 children under the age of 16. With modern treatments, the morbidity has been reduced; however, there is increasing evidence that many, if not most, children with JIA will have a chronic disease with ongoing activity into adulthood. Many studies discuss the possibility of an early window of opportunity in which patients have the best chance of responding to therapy, thereby underscoring the importance of timely and appropriate imaging.

Soil eDNA reflects regionally dominant species rather than local composition of tropical tree communities.

Environmental DNA (eDNA) is increasingly used for biodiversity monitoring, but validation of the spatial scale(s) at which eDNA reflects extant communities is scarce, particularly in tropical forests: the terrestrial biome with the most concentrated diversity on earth. We leveraged spatially explicit tree inventory data from the 16-ha Luquillo Forest Dynamics Plot (LFDP) in Puerto Rico to validate soil eDNA as a spatially explicit indicator of tree diversity/composition. Using a comprehensive local chloroplast -P6 reference library, we analyzed soil samples at multiple scales through eDNA -P6 metabarcoding.

Adolescents' health and well-being into the COVID-19 pandemic: A two-wave prospective investigation- The HUNT study.

Purpose: Using data on Norwegian adolescents, this study aimed to explore changes in mental health, quality of life, somatic health complaints and loneliness from before and one year into the COVID-19 pandemic, also considering the changes according to socioeconomic position (SEP).

Methods: The study involved a cross-sectional comparative design with data from Young-HUNT4 (2017-2019) (n = 4347) and Young-HUNT COVID (May/June 2021) (n = 2033), aged 16-19 years. Additionally, longitudinal changes from Young-HUNT4 (n = 1565), aged 13-15 years, with follow-up in Young-HUNT COVID were explored.

Direct and bisulfite-free 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine sequencing at single-cell resolution with scTAPS and scCAPS + .

We present direct sequencing methodologies, scTAPS for 5-methylcytosine (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) and scCAPS + specifically for 5hmC, enabling quantitative detection of 5mC and 5hmC at single-base resolution and single-cell level. Achieving approximately 90% mapping efficiency, our plate-based methods accurately recover 5mC and 5hmC profiles in CD8 + T and mouse embryonic stem cells. Notably, scCAPS + reveals a global increase in 5hmC across neuronal and non-neuronal cells in the hippocampus of aging mice.

Relationships between parental factors and child anxiety and depressive symptoms in an indicated preventive intervention.

Background: Parental factors such as parental symptomatology, family functioning, and parental practices are linked to child anxiety and depression. While most research focuses on clinical groups, this study examines these associations in an indicated sample, before and after a preventive intervention and at 12-month follow-up.

Methods: Participants included 1043 parents of 650 children (8-12 years old) from the ECHO trial, aimed at optimizing a preventive program for anxious and sad children.
