The Mediating Role of Procrastination in the Relationship between Fear of Missing Out and Internet Addiction in University Students

This study aims to examine the potential mediating role of procrastination in the relationship between fear of missing out and internet addiction. Employing a cross-sectional research design, this study utilized a paper–pencil form to collect data from 315 students (65.4% undergraduate and 66.3% females) between 18 and 32 (Mage = 22.43; SD = 3.81) studying at a state university in Türkiye. Data were collected through the convenience sampling method. The study was designed as a survey model. This design was tested via mediation analysis. The participants completed self-report assessments using the Fear of Missing Out Scale (FoMOs), General Procrastination Scale (GPS-9), and Young Internet Addiction Scale (short form). The findings showed that FoMO had a significant positive direct effect on both procrastination (R2 = 0.13) and internet addiction (R2 = 0.33). Procrastination also had a significant positive direct effect on internet addiction (R2 = 0.34). Additionally, procrastination mediated the relationship between the fear of missing out and internet addiction (β = 0.156, p < 0.001). These findings not only extend the scope of existing research but also hold practical implications for the development of sustainable interventions. It is believed that the findings will contribute to the consideration of procrastination when preparing psychoeducation or group guidance programs for internet addiction. These interventions can effectively address the process through which fear of missing out leads to internet addiction by considering the significant role of procrastination in students. Findings typically suggest that procrastination behavior is a key factor in explaining the association between FoMO and internet addiction.
DESCRIPTION OF UNDERSTANDING MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS ABILITY BASED ON BRAIN DOMINATION

One of the essential cognitive aspects of learning mathematics is the ability to understand concepts. This study describes the ability to understand students' mathematical concepts based on brain dominance. The type of research used is descriptive qualitative. The research subjects were high school students. The instruments used were tests, questionnaires, and interview guidelines. Data analysis techniques consist of data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results showed that students left brain dominant student has excellent mathematical concepts understanding ability, provide clear and detailed information, provide examples with different shapes or arrangements, use symbols other than numbers, and they are confident that they understand the concepts. Meanwhile, right-brain dominant students have a relatively good mathematical concepts understanding ability, tend to convey information randomly using their language, provide examples with similar shapes or arrangements, and must be more sure that they understand the concept
Update of Laparoscopic Surgery in Borderline Ovarian Tumor: Systematic Review

Background : Borderline ovarian tumor (BOT) predominantly affects young women and is often diagnosed at an early stage. BOT accounts for 15% of all epithelial tumors. In this regard, a minimally invasive surgical approach and the ability to preserve fertility, without increasing the incidence of recurrences or worsening the prognosis, are crucial. This review aims to provide an update on the role and indications of laparoscopic surgery in BOTs. Methods : The electronic research was performed on Pubmed, Medline, and Embase. Articles published in the last 20 years (2004–2023) were included, and the following keywords were used: ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘laparoscopic surgery’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘minimally invasive surgery’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘fertility sparing’, ‘borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘recurrence’ and ‘Borderline ovarian tumor’ and ‘relapse’. The agreement about potential relevance was reached by consensus of the researchers and according to PRISMA statement guidelines. We thoroughly reviewed all bibliographies to assess the inclusion of any further eligible studies. We excluded studies that did not align with the study’s objectives. Results : The electronic database search yielded 767 total studies. Of whom, 188 were published before 2004, 84 were case reports, and 45 were not in the English language. Of the remaining 450 studies, 148 were considered eligible for the study. We included 20 studies in this review. Conclusions : Despite the latest guidelines recommending an open approach for the treatment of BOT, the laparoscopic approach has gained popularity as a feasible and safe alternative. The use of an endo-bag, along with advanced laparoscopic skills, has made the minimally invasive approach increasingly safe, with oncological outcomes almost comparable to those of reference. Moreover, in the context of fertility-sparing surgery (FSS), laparoscopy seems to be associated with improved obstetrical outcomes, without detrimental effects on overall survival and disease-free survival. Therefore, the laparoscopic approach in the treatment of BOT appears to be a safe and effective option, especially in the case of FSS.
Medical Gaslighting and Lyme Disease: The Patient Experience

Even though there are approximately half a million new cases of Lyme disease in the US annually, according to the CDC, it is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed, which can result in a chronic, multisystemic condition. Lyme disease is a recognized public health threat and is a designated “notifiable disease”. As such, Lyme disease is mandated to be reported by the CDC. Despite this, both acute and chronic Lyme disease (CLD) have been relegated to the category of “contested illnesses”, which can lead to medical gaslighting. By analyzing results from an online survey of respondents with Lyme disease (n = 986), we elucidate the lived experiences of people who have been pushed to the margins of the medical system by having their symptoms attributed to mental illness, anxiety, stress, and aging. Further, respondents have had their blood tests and erythema migrans (EM) rashes discounted and were told that CLD simply does not exist. As a result, a series of fruitless consultations often result in the delay of a correct diagnosis, which has deleterious consequences. This is the first study that addresses an extensive range of gaslighting techniques experienced by this patient population.
The Relationship Between Mental Illnesses and Aggressive Behavior

As criminal behaviors and crime rates continue to rise, the sphere of influence wielded by criminals also expands. This surge in criminal activity not only inflicts enduring harm upon the victims and the families of offenders but also triggers a pervasive questioning of public security regulations within society. Consequently, the imperative study of the underlying factors contributing to criminal behavior has become both crucial and indispensable. Taking a broad perspective, it is evident that individuals, families, and society as a whole play significant roles in shaping the root causes of criminality. In this study, special attention is drawn to the profound impact of mental illness on criminal behavior. This study aims to synthesize existing research, focusing on the influence of three relatively common mental illnesses—schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, and antisocial personality disorder—on criminal behaviors. In this study, we will try to decelop in-depth knowledge of intricate between mental illness and criminality. Through this study, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the intricate interplay between mental health and criminality.
Nano-Scale Engineering of Heterojunction for Alkaline Water Electrolysis

Alkaline water electrolysis is promising for low-cost and scalable hydrogen production. Renewable energy-driven alkaline water electrolysis requires highly effective electrocatalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (OER). However, the most active electrocatalysts show orders of magnitude lower performance in alkaline electrolytes than that in acidic ones. To improve such catalysts, heterojunction engineering has been exploited as the most efficient strategy to overcome the activity limitations of the single component in the catalyst. In this review, the basic knowledge of alkaline water electrolysis and the catalytic mechanisms of heterojunctions are introduced. In the HER mechanisms, the ensemble effect emphasizes the multi-sites of different components to accelerate the various intermedium reactions, while the electronic effect refers to the d-band center theory associated with the adsorption and desorption energies of the intermediate products and catalyst. For the OER with multi-electron transfer, a scaling relation was established: the free energy difference between HOO* and HO* is 3.2 eV, which can be overcome by electrocatalysts with heterojunctions. The development of electrocatalysts with heterojunctions are summarized. Typically, Ni(OH)2/Pt, Ni/NiN3 and MoP/MoS2 are HER electrocatalysts, while Ir/Co(OH)2, NiFe(OH)x/FeS and Co9S8/Ni3S2 are OER ones. Last but not the least, the trend of future research is discussed, from an industry perspective, in terms of decreasing the number of noble metals, achieving more stable heterojunctions for longer service, adopting new craft technologies such as 3D printing and exploring revolutionary alternate alkaline water electrolysis.
Effects of Virtual Reality Physical and Cognitive Training Intervention On Cognitive Abilities of Elders with Mild Cognitive Impairment

Background: Virtual reality (VR) technology has become increasingly used for assessment and intervention in the neuroscience field. Objective: We aimed to investigate the effects of a VR Training System, named VRADA (VR Exercise App for Dementia and Alzheimer’s Patients), on the cognitive functioning of older people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: In this intervention study, 122 older adults with MCI were randomly assigned to five groups (the VRADA group (n = 28), a bike group (n = 11), a physical exercise group (n = 24), a mixed group (physical and cognitive exercise) (n = 31), and a non-contact control group (n = 28). The VRADA group underwent 32 physical and cognitive training sessions, performed 2 or 3 times weekly for 12 weeks in the VR environment. All participants had detailed neuropsychological assessments before and after intervention. Results: A series of linear regression models revealed that the VRADA group showed improvement or no deterioration in cognitive decline in global cognitive function (MMSE), verbal memory (Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test and WAIS forward test), and executive functions, mental flexibility (Trail Making Test B). Conclusions: This interventionstudy indicates that the VRADA system improves the cognitive function of elders with MCI.

Water Privatization Aftermath in Armenia: Scale, Public Perception and Willingness to Pay

Globalization, the liberalization of international markets and intensification of international cooperation pushed the widespread expansion of privatization of public services. Whether privatization has served the public interest remains unclear. This paper presents the case of Armenia, a country in transition that has undergone an intensive privatization process in the water sector. Top-down assessments show that Armenian utilities reached above-average rankings in international comparisons. Household surveys were used to provide empirical evidence on the real experiences of households through measuring the households’ perception on water services, the willingness to pay and conservation actions. The results shows that households, overall, are satisfied with water services. The highest share of those who are willing to pay for improvements is in rural areas reflecting a greater need for better water services. As expected, the households’ financial situations and the perception of the price of water affect the willingness to pay. The results of the research gave proof to the social comparison theory according to which a lower level of public satisfaction with water services can be derived in areas that neighbor other areas with better water supply services. The study also finds that universal water metering impacted household water consumption behavior.
Tamoxifen Activates Transcription Factor EB and Triggers Protective Autophagy in Breast Cancer Cells by Inducing Lysosomal Calcium Release: A Gateway to the Onset of Endocrine Resistance

Among the several mechanisms accounting for endocrine resistance in breast cancer, autophagy has emerged as an important player. Previous reports have evidenced that tamoxifen (Tam) induces autophagy and activates transcription factor EB (TFEB), which regulates the expression of genes controlling autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis. However, the mechanisms by which this occurs have not been elucidated as yet. This investigation aims at dissecting how TFEB is activated and contributes to Tam resistance in luminal A breast cancer cells. TFEB was overexpressed and prominently nuclear in Tam-resistant MCF7 cells (MCF7-TamR) compared with their parental counterpart, and this was not dependent on alterations of its nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling. Tam promoted the release of lysosomal Ca2+ through the major transient receptor potential cation channel mucolipin subfamily member 1 (TRPML1) and two-pore channels (TPCs), which caused the nuclear translocation and activation of TFEB. Consistently, inhibiting lysosomal calcium release restored the susceptibility of MCF7-TamR cells to Tam. Our findings demonstrate that Tam drives the nuclear relocation and transcriptional activation of TFEB by triggering the release of Ca2+ from the acidic compartment, and they suggest that lysosomal Ca2+ channels may represent new druggable targets to counteract the onset of autophagy-mediated endocrine resistance in luminal A breast cancer cells.
Geography of Well-Being

A new index takes a holistic look at America's inequalities. The report, " Geographies of Opportunity: Ranking Well-Being by Congressional District, " is an in-depth look at how residents of America's 436 congressional districts are faring in three fundamental areas of life: Health, access to knowledge, and living standards. The report stems from the Social Science Research Council's Measure of America project. The hallmark of this work is the American Human Development Index, a supplement to GDP and other money metrics that tell the story of how ordinary Americans are faring. Making sense of the story  The top ten congressional districts in terms of human development (HD) are all in the greater metropolitan areas of LA, NYC, San Francisco, and DC.  Life expectancy remains extremely uneven across the country. In sections of Mississippi, West Virginia and Kentucky, life expectancy remains at 73 years of age, about the same as it was for the nation as a whole in 1980.  Life expectancy is far greater in the Northeast corridor, along the West Coast of California, in retirement areas along Florida's southern coast, in Seattle, suburban Dallas, and around Denver and Boulder, Colorado. In these places, people can expect to live up to eight years longer than the national average.  The areas of highest knowledge access are concentrated in parts of L.  The gap in earnings is considerable and divides exist not only between regions and metros but within. One of the districts with the lowest earnings ($20,100 annually) is California's 34th, which covers downtown L.A. That's just a few miles from California's 33rd, where a median income of $51,300 puts it in the top ten earning districts in the country.  The higher the proportion of foreign-born residents in a congressional district, the longer the district's life expectancy.  African Americans fare particularly poorly on health indicators. Whites outlive African Americans by 3.6 years; African Americans have higher death rates from a variety of causes, chief among them heart disease, cancer, homicide, diabetes, and infant death.
Scaling Law for Japanese Intraplate Earthquakes in Special Relations to the Surface Faults and the Damages: ―地震断層の影響および地震被害との関連―

According to SHIMAZAKI (1986), the large and small Japanese intraplate earthquakes obey the different scaling laws: M0•åL3 for small events but M0•åL2 for large events, where L and M0 are fault length and seismic moment, respectively. This is caused by the fact that the fault widths W for the large events are bounded by the thickness of the seismogenic layer in the crust. We examined the relations among source parameters for 33 Japanese intraplate earthquakes from 1885 to 1995 and confirmed the validity of the results obtained by SHIMAZAKI (1986) for the events of M=5 to 8, where M is the magnitude in the scale of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Relations between source parameters and JMA magnitude M were also derived from the relations among source parameters, using the M0-M relation by TAKEMURA (1990). SHIMAZAKI (1986) also indicated the offset of the L-M0 relation at the transition between small and large earthquakes, and suggested that the offset appeared to be due to the difference in boundary conditions between buried and surface faults. We found an offset from 6.5 to 6.8 in the JMA magnitude M, as well as the offsets of a factor of about 2 in D and M0, but no offset in L and W, where D is the average slip of the fault. Also we found that almost all events with M•†6.8 accompanied the surface faults, while most of the events with M•. 6.5 did not accompany any surface fault. These results strongly supported that the offsets in D, M0, and M were caused by the surface fault breaks for the large earthquakes. Furthermore, we examined the relation between the damages from the Japanese intraplate earthquake and its JMA magnitude M. The damages suddenly increased from M=6.5 to M=6.8. The scaling law obtained above gave the large earthquake a strip fault whose location was very shallow. Because of these conditions, the intraplate earthquakes with M•† 6.8 bring about strong ground motions in the wide area.

Protective effect of Gundelia tournefortii extract on spleen tissue in experimental type I diabetes in rats

Aim: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of Gundelia tournefortii plant extract on the spleen of rats with experimental type of rats. Methods: In the study, 35 adult Wistar Albino rats were used. Thirty-five male rats were randomly divided into five equal groups of seven rats each. Animal groups were determined as Control, Diabetes, Diabetes + Treatment 1, Diabetes + Treatment 2, Diabetes + Treatment 3. The control group was not exposed to any treatment. The other groups received 45 mg/kg Streptozotocin intraperitoneally on the experimental day. Animals in Diabetes + Treatment 1, Diabetes + Treatment 2 and Diabetes + Treatment 3 groups were administered 50 mg/kg, 100 mg/kg and 200 mg/kg of Gundelia tournefortii extract daily by oral gavage for 21 days, respectively. At the end of the experiment, the animals were euthanized, and the spleen was properly removed. The tissues were stained with hematoxylin and eosin after routine tissue tracing. Results: Diabetes mellitus caused a decrease in the diameter of the white pulp and severe atrophy in the spleen tissue. In the red pulp, on the contrary, there was an increase in activation. In the treatment groups, it was determined that Gundelia tournefortii extract minimized the damage of diabetes and even the group with images close to the control group was Diabetes + Treatment 3, while in the other treatment groups, the rate of damage repair decreased as the dose decreased. Conclusion: In the study, it was determined that diabetes caused damage to the spleen tissue and these damages were reduced by Gundelia tournefortii plant extract. In addition, in the comparison between different doses of this plant extract in the treatment groups, it was determined that the best result was obtained in the group administered at the highest dose of 200 mg/kg.
