Background
Music is a primary source of pleasure for humans. Nevertheless, there is large interindividual variability in how individuals experience and derive pleasure from music and music-related activities. With this study we propose and validate the Italian version of the extended Barcelona Music Reward Questionnaire (eBMRQ), the most in-depth and comprehensive tool for investigating the diverse characterization of individual sensitivity to pleasure in music. In addition, we aim to investigate eBMRQ scores as a function of age, gender, and musicianship across Italian population.

Methods
For the validation process of the Italian eBMRQ, we first conducted forward and backward translation from the original English eBMRQ version. The new Italian version was then administered to 1,012 participants who were fluent in Italian from the north and the south of Italy through online surveys (age range 18–86 years old; M = 34.9, SD = 16.9, females 74%). Unrestricted confirmatory analysis was computed for both six-factor and single-factor models. The effect of gender, age, and musicianship on eBMRQ scores was analyzed through analysis of variance (ANOVA).

Results
The quality assessment of the factor solution indicated that the Italian eBMRQ demonstrated acceptable quality and reliability, making it a valid tool for assessing sensitivity to music reward. All factors were significantly correlated with each other, in line with previous adaptations of the BMRQ. Our findings indicate that females reported higher music reward sensitivity compared to males, except for Social Reward subscale. Moreover, individual reward sensitivity was significantly higher among musicians and amateurs compared to non-musicians, although this trend did not emerge for Sensory-motor and Mood Regulation subscales. Also, overall musical reward sensitivity was negatively associated with age.

Conclusions
The results obtained suggest the feasibility of applying the Italian version of eBMRQ as a reliable tool in the field of affective and clinical music-related research. Furthermore, the significant associations we have highlighted between eBMRQ scores, gender, age, and musicianship contribute to emphasizing the significant impact of individual factors on music reward sensitivity.

Published: February 2025

Background: Among the most prevalent malignant neoplasms worldwide, colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major threat to human life and health. The second most common cause of death for cancer patients receiving medical and surgical treatment is venous thromboembolism (VTE). Patients with colorectal cancer who have radical surgery run the risk of developing venous thromboembolism (VTE). The current study analyzes the incidence and risk factors associated with post-operative VTE after colorectal cancer surgery(CRC) within 90 days of postoperative period.
Methods and Materials: This was a prospective cross sectional study conducted in a tertiary medical college and hospital of Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2021 to December 2023.There was no VTE prophylaxis guideline in the institute. None of the patient received any standard VTE prophylaxis in the perioperative period. Statistical analysis was performed using IBM SPSS version 26.0. Statistical significance was defined as a p-value of < 0.05. Multivariable analysis using a binary logistic regression model was used to verify the independent risk factors for VTE in the post-operative patients. Variables identified as having a potential association (p < 0.05) in a univariate analysis were entered into each multivariable analysis model.
Results: A total of 86 patients who underwent surgery for CRC were included in the study. The included patients were divided into two groups: VTE and non-VTE group. Out of 86 patients, 7(8.13%) patients presented with DVT. Two patients (2.3%) had pulmonary embolism and both of them died in the post-operative period. Advanced age (OR-1.876 95% CI: 1.765–1.975) elevated Caprini score (OR-1.564, 95%CI: 0.85-1.72), elevated d-dimer (OR-1.446,95% CI: 1.130-0.1.849), advanced stage of disease (OR-1.94, 95% CI: 1.87-1.213), prolong duration of surgery OR-1.277,95% CI;0.87-1.312) and presence of inflammatory bowel disease(OR-1.34,95% CI:1.29-1.41) were independent predictors of postoperative VTE (P<0.05).
Conclusion: The current study showed post-operative VTE is a grave complication after malignant colorectal surgery. There were several factors for development of post-operative VTE in CRC patients. So further large scale multicenter study should be conducted to identify the predictors of post-surgical VTE.

Grain weight in wheat cultivars released from 1920 to

1990 as affected by post-anthesis defoliation
Authors: KRUK B. C. , CALDERINI D. F. , SLAFER G. A. 
Published: July 2002

Although it has been generally recognized that the difference in
yield

potential amongst wheat

cultivars released in different eras is related to differences in their

reproductive sink strength, there

have been few investigations about changes in source–sink ratios
as a

consequence of wheat breeding.

In the present study, two field experiments, in which plots were fertilized
and

irrigated and lodging

and diseases were prevented, were carried out with seven cultivars (including
a

commercial hybrid)

representing different periods of plant breeding in Argentina from 1920
to 1990.

The cultivars were

defoliated during post-anthesis to analyse the response of grain weight
at

particular positions within

the spike (which have intrinsic differences in potential size).Individual grain weight was virtually unaffected by defoliation in the
old

cultivars, but modern

cultivars exhibited a significant reduction in individual grain weight
for

several positions within the

spike, although this reduction was small (c. 15%) and many grains
were

unaffected. In addition, no

relationship was found between individual grain weight in the controls
and its

reduction due to defoliation.We concluded that if the source–sink ratio is further reduced,
the grain

yield of modern wheats will

be simultaneously limited by the source and the sink. Future breeding should

therefore attempt to

improve simultaneously both sink and source strengths.
Association of casein haplotypes with casein composition and size of
micelles in milks from Simmental×Red Holstein cows
Authors: BRAUNSCHWEIG MARTIN , PUHAN ZDENKO 
Published: July 2002

The casein micelles of bovine milk are large aggregates of roughly spherical shape
consisting of the four phosphoproteins αs1-, αs2-,
β- and κ-casein (CN). They are
polydisperse colloidal particles with weight-average diameters between about 50 and
500 nm (Horne, 1984). Since αs1-, αs2- and
β-CN are sensitive to calcium it is assumed
that they are located predominantly within the micelle, whereas κ-CN is mainly on
the surface of the micelles and serves as a stabilizer for the aggregates owing to its
hydrophilic C-terminus. Inorganic calcium phosphate interacts with the phosphate
groups of the caseins. This conformation of caseins, calcium and phosphate also
contains small amounts of magnesium and citrate. Of the dry matter of the micelle,
∼93% is casein and ∼7% inorganic components, mainly calcium and phosphate
(McMahon & Brown, 1984; Holt & Horne, 1996).In several studies it has been demonstrated that milk with the κ-CN B variant has
on average smaller micelles than κ-CN A milk (Morini
et al. 1975; Nuyts Petit et al.
1997). Compared with κ-CN variants, there are only a few studies on the
association of αs1-, αs2- and
β-CN variants with casein content and micelle size. In the
milk of β-casein-deficient mice, casein micelles were smaller than in normal mouse
milk but still present. The lack of β-CN was partly compensated by an increased
whey protein content (Kumar et al. 1994). A comparison of the cheesemaking
properties of Tarentaise milks containing the A (A1 or A2, without distinguishing
between these variants) and C variants of β-CN revealed that the most significant
characteristic for discriminating the two types of milk is the average diameter of the
casein micelles: 293 nm in β-CN C type milk, 187 nm in the A type (Delacroix-Buchet
& Marie, 1994).The objective of the present study was to investigate the micelle size and the
casein composition of milk from half sibs within Simmentals cross bred with Red
Holsteins (Simmentaler Fleckvieh, SI×RH) sires heterozygous for
A1A2 of β-CN.
Reconstruction of the global velocity field in the axisymmetric mixing layer utilizing the proper orthogonal decomposition
Authors: CITRINITI J. H. , GEORGE W. K. 
Published: July 2002

Experimental data are presented from 138 synchronized channels of hot-wire anemometry
in an investigation of the large-scale, or coherent, structures in a high Reynolds
number fully developed, turbulent axisymmetric shear layer. The dynamics of the
structures are obtained from instantaneous realizations of the streamwise velocity
field in a single plane, x/D = 3, downstream of a round jet nozzle. The Proper
Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) technique is applied to an ensemble of these realizations
to determine optimal representations of the velocity field, in a mean-square
sense, in terms of an orthogonal basis. The coefficients of the orthogonal functions,
which describe the temporal evolution of the POD eigenfunctions, are determined by
projecting instantaneous realizations of the velocity field onto the basis.Evidence is presented to show that with a partial reconstruction of the velocity field,
using only the first radial POD mode, the large-scale structure is objectively educed
from the turbulent field. Further, it is shown that only five azimuthal Fourier modes
(0,3,4,5,6) are necessary to represent the evolution of the large-scale structure. The
results of the velocity reconstruction using the POD provide evidence for azimuthally
coherent structures that exist near the potential core. In addition to the azimuthal
structures near the potential core, evidence is also found for the presence of counter-rotating, streamwise vortex pairs (or ribs) in the region between successive azimuthally
coherent structures as well as coexisting for short periods with them. The large-scale
structure cycle, which includes the appearance of the ring structure, the advection
of fluid by the ribs in the braid region and their advection toward the outside of
the layer by a following ring structure, repeats approximately every one integral time
scale. One surprising result was that the most spatially correlated structure in the
flow, the coherent ring near the potential core which ejects fluid in the streamwise
direction in a volcano-like eruption, is also the one with the shortest time scale.
One-dimensional turbulence:
model formulation and application to
homogeneous turbulence, shear flows,
and buoyant stratified flows
Authors: KERSTEIN ALAN R. 
Published: July 2002

A stochastic model, implemented as a Monte Carlo simulation, is used to compute
statistical properties of velocity and scalar fields in stationary and decaying
homogeneous turbulence, shear flow, and various buoyant stratified flows. Turbulent
advection is represented by a random sequence of maps applied to a one-dimensional
computational domain. Profiles of advected scalars and of one velocity component
evolve on this domain. The rate expression governing the mapping sequence reflects
turbulence production mechanisms. Viscous effects are implemented concurrently. Various flows of interest are simulated by applying appropriate initial and boundary
conditions to the velocity profile. Simulated flow microstructure reproduces the
−5/3 power-law scaling of the inertial-range energy spectrum and the dissipation-range spectral collapse based on the Kolmogorov microscale. Diverse behaviours of
constant-density shear flows and buoyant stratified flows are reproduced, in some
instances suggesting new interpretations of observed phenomena. Collectively, the
results demonstrate that a variety of turbulent flow phenomena can be captured in a
concise representation of the interplay of advection, molecular transport, and buoyant
forcing.

Published: July 2002

Background. We report on the epidemiology of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the Australian community, including information on lifetime exposure to trauma, 12-month prevalence of PTSD, sociodemographic correlates and co-morbidity.Methods. Data were obtained from a stratified sample of 10641 participants as part of the Australian National Survey of Mental Health and Well-being. A modified version of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview was used to determine the presence of PTSD, as well as other DSM-IV anxiety, affective and substance use disorders.Results. The estimated 12-month prevalence of PTSD was 1·33%, which is considerably lower than that found in comparable North American studies. Although females were at greater risk than males within the subsample of those who had experienced trauma, the large gender differences noted in some recent epidemiological research were not replicated. Prevalence was elevated among the never married and previously married respondents, and was lower among those aged over 55. For both men and women, rape and sexual molestation were the traumatic events most likely to be associated with PTSD. A high level of Axis 1 co-morbidity was found among those persons with PTSDConclusions. PTSD is a highly prevalent disorder in the Australian community and is routinely associated with high rates of anxiety, depression and substance disorders. Future research is needed to investigate rates among other populations outside the North American continent.
Religion, gossip, narrative conventions and the construction of meaning in Hindi film songs
Authors: Booth Gregory 
Published: July 2002

IntroductionThe commercial Hindi language cinema is among the largest and oldest music film traditions on the planet. One of the most widely remarked and inflexible conventions of this highly stylised popular film genre is the regular appearance of song and dance scenes in almost every commercial Hindi film. A huge body of over 40,000 film songs (filmī gīt, as they are known in Hindi) has grown along with the thousands of Hindi sound films produced since 1931; unlike the more recent development of music video in the west, Hindi film songs have been intimately connected with larger narrative traditions and visual images from their very inception. Filmī gīt comprise one of the most intensely consumed popular music repertoires on the planet. Across the range of visual and sound media and on into live performance, the audience for film song must be numbered in the hundreds of millions throughout the South Asian subcontinent and diaspora.
Movements of whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) in South‐east Asian waters as determined by satellite telemetry

Published: July 2002

AbstractManagement of whale shark Rhincodon typus populations is hampered by a lack of information on the range travelled by individual whale sharks. This applies particularly in South‐east Asia where the whale shark is increasingly used in commercial trade and for ecotourism. In this study an investigation of the movements of individual whale sharks from the greater Sulu Sea region was initiated using satellite telemetry. The movements of six sharks were monitored from 7 to 128 days. Two sharks travelled distances of 4567 and 8025 km. Both sharks moved through multiple political jurisdictions, confirming the need to manage the populations on a multilateral or regional level.
Trust and virtue in English banking: the assessment of borrowers by bank managements at the turn of the nineteenth century
Authors: NEWTON LUCY 
Published: July 2002

Lucy Newton, Trust and virtue in English banking: the assessment of borrowers by bank managements at the turn of the nineteenth centuryMuch has been made of the relationships between English banks and their customers. This article aims to examine the
perceptions of banks' managements and their procedures in the assessment of English and Welsh borrowing customers at the turn of the century. During this period, as banks assumed the modern corporate form, their managements attempted to impose a more formalised structure for lending decisions – one that could be standardised and applied throughout an organisation. The article examines the impact of such changes upon lending decisions, together with the information utilised in making them. It focuses upon the use of ‘subjective’ information and criteria in order to shed light upon a transitional period in banking organisation. It also considers related issues such as
customer reputation; the transition from personalised to transaction banking; and the respective roles of local branches and London head offices in decision-making.
