BackgroundSchizophrenia is one of the most severe mental disorders, frequently associated with aggression and violence, particularly in male patients. The underlying mechanisms of violent behavior in these patients remain unclear, limiting effective treatment options and highlighting the need for further research into interventions for impulsive behaviors. This study aims to evaluate the clinical efficacy of neurofeedback treatment in hospitalized male schizophrenia patients exhibiting impulsive behaviors.MethodsThe study was designed as a single-center, randomized, single-blind, sham-controlled parallel trial. Eighty patients were randomly assigned to either a study group or a control group. The control group received risperidone and sham neurofeedback, while the study group received risperidone and active neurofeedback therapy. Both groups underwent training five times per week, with each session lasting 20 minutes, over a six-week period. Clinical symptoms were assessed at baseline, three weeks and six weeks using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Modified Overt Aggression Scale (MOAS), and the Rating Scale for Extrapyramidal Side Effects (RSESE). Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the therapeutic effects between the two groups at the study’s conclusion.ResultsInitial comparisons showed no significant differences in baseline data, except for the number of prior hospitalizations (P&lt;0.018). By the end of the study, the study group demonstrate significant improvements in MOAS and PANSS scores (including the Excited, Positive, Cognitive, and Depressive/Anxiety Components), with no significant changes in RSESE scores.DiscussionBoth time and group interactions were significant across most outcomes, underscoring the efficacy of neurofeedback in reducing the severity of impulsive behaviors and associated schizophrenia symptoms.Clinical trial registrationchictr.org.cn, identifier ChiCTR2200063407

BackgroundThe most common form of cancer among women is breast cancer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Thus, the purpose of this study was to evaluate women in Saudi Arabia’s Asir Region, on their knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) regarding breast self-examination (BSE).MethodsThe research was carried out cross-sectional and conducted from October 2023 to June 2024 in Saudi Arabia’s Asir province.ResultsOut of 397 study participants, 89 (22.4%) had good knowledge, and 308 (77.6%) had poor knowledge; 185 (46.6%) had a positive attitude, and 212 (53.4%) had a negative attitude 24 (6%) had good practice 373 (94%) had poor practice about breast BSE. According to study participants, social media, 204 (51.4%), radio, television, and newspapers were the best places to learn about BSE. In this study, 316 (79.6%) had heard of BSE. 230 (57.9%) stated that breast cancer patient’s likelihood of survival increases with early detection. Only 231 (58.2%) and 247 (62.2%) agreed that breast cancer is indicated by changes in the color and shape of the breast and retraction/discharge of the breasts, respectively. Out of 147, 24 (16.3%) self-examined just one week after each menstruation. Single (OR = 6.259; 95% CI = 1.790–21.887, p = 0.004) and married (OR = 4.923; 95% CI = 1.509–16.056, p = 0.008), Single (OR = 2.736; 95% CI = 1.248–6.000, p = 0.012) and married (OR = 3.176; 95% CI = 1.734–5.817, p = 0.00) were significantly associated with good knowledge and attitude of BSE, respectively. Illiterates (OR = 0.233; 95% CI = 0.060–0.895, p = 0.034), pre-university (OR = 0.222; 95% CI = 0.092–0.538, p = 0.001), Illiterates (OR = 0.293; 95% CI = 0.114–0.755, p = 0.011), pre-university (OR = 0.462; 95% CI = 0.271–0.788, p = 0.005) are less likely to have good knowledge and attitude compared to college and university educated.ConclusionThe study revealed that few women have good knowledge, attitudes, and practices among BSE. In this study, attitude level is high in comparison to knowledge and practice. However, 94% never practiced at all. It is strongly advised that a focus be placed on improving women’s KAP regarding BSE, as well as BSE educational programs in universities and more community service activities such as health campaigns in public places.
Assessing the role of stakeholders in sustainable groundwater resources management using power-interest matrix (PIM): in Hamedan-Bahar plain, Iran
Authors: Sarami-Foroushani Taraneh , Balali Hamid , Movahedi Reza 
Published: October 2024

IntroductionMoral Intelligence (MI) as a concept has gained importance Increasing water scarcity as a result of climate change and its coincidence with population growth, economic development, and the resulting rising demand has become an important challenge in most parts of the world. In numerous nations, such as Iran, frequent occurrences of droughts, combined with the extensive utilization of surface and groundwater resources, have resulted in numerous environmental detriments, including a decrease in groundwater levels, land subsidence, deterioration of water quality, and, more recently, the emergence of dust storms due to soil erosion and desertification. In this situation, stakeholders can play an efficient role in water management and the alleviation of water scarcity and its negative environmental externalities in the context of good water governance.MethodThis investigation endeavored to examine the functions and importance of individuals or groups with a vested interest in groundwater resources within the Hamedan-Bahar Plain. Additionally, it aimed to evaluate their influence and motivations through the utilization of the power-interest matrix (PIM) and important-performance matrix techniques. A total of 86 people were identified who could and were allowed to be interviewed through the snowball method. Then a 10-point scale questionnaire was used to rate the questions. To examine the power and interest of the stakeholders, the IPM test was carried out using the smart pls.3 software, and the results were classified based on the average values and the overall impact. The results reveal that 20 institutions and agencies have an effective role in the governance of groundwater resources in the Hamedan-Bahar plain. Furthermore, the analysis of the PIM revealed that the most powerful organizations that play the most important role in the management of the groundwater resources of the studied area are the regional water organization, the representatives of the parliament, and the governor, respectively.Results and discussionBased on the research findings, the governance “power” index of organizations and institutions with power (39.77%) and total impact (0.516) is higher and more effective than the value of benefits with power (36.13%) and total impact (0.48). Accordingly, paying attention to the role and influence of the power of stakeholders will be an important and effective point in the plans and strategies for groundwater resources in the Hamadan-Bahar plain. In the end, strategies are suggested to each stakeholder for better implementation of the programs and strategies.

IntroductionPrice competition in the tomato market may lead Italian processing companies to adopt product differentiation strategies to attract consumers and raise revenues. Exploring consumers’ preferences for processed tomato products’ attributes can support companies in implementing product differentiation strategies and succeed in the market.MethodsThis study used a convenience sample of 602 Italian consumers to identify consumers’ preferences for processed tomato products’ attributes selected through a literature review and tested by the Best Worst Scaling (BWS) method. Also, a two-step cluster analysis was used to identify and size consumer groups with common preferences for tested product’s attributes.ResultsOverall, our results showed that Italian consumers of processed tomato products strongly preferred attributes such as Country of origin, Organic, and Social and economic sustainability labels. In addition, the analysis shows the existence of three distinct consumer segments such as “traditional,” “price-sensitive,” and “sustainable” consumers. The largest one was price-sensitive consumers followed by sustainable and traditional ones.DiscussionOur findings have practical implications for producers and policymakers. Producers may use claims about the product’s origin jointly with an organic production logo and ethical label to differentiate their products and raise revenues. Likewise, policymakers should enhance monitoring and control measures to ensure with environmental, social, and economic sustainable standards compliance. This will support building consumer trust for those credence attributes. Overall, this study adds valuable insights to the existing literature on consumer preferences for processed tomato products, providing results with high external validity using a large convenience sample.

IntroductionPhenacoccus solenopsis Tinsley, poses a significant threat to a range of crops worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of entomopathogenic fungi (Alternaria murispora and Alternaria destruens) and bacteria (Streptomyces bellus-E23-2) against adult females of P. solenopsis under laboratory (26 ± 2°C) and greenhouse conditions.MethodsLaboratory trials tested A. murispora, A. destruens (104–1010 conidia mL−1), and S. bellus E23-2 (104–1010 cfu mL−1), alone and in combination, recording mortality rates and LC50 values. Greenhouse trials tested the best lab treatments on infested potato plants, monitoring pest density and plant quality.Results and discussionIn laboratory trials, A. murispora at 1010 conidia mL−1 was the most effective, achieved 79.7% mortality (LC50 = 1.338 × 108 conidia mL−1 after 14 days). Combination treatments significantly enhanced efficacy, with A. murispora + S. bellus E23-2 (1010 conidia mL−1 + 1010 cfu mL−1) reaching 85.3% mortality. In greenhouse trials, the combination treatments notably reduced P. solenopsis densities and increased the number of infected mealybugs, with A. murispora + S. bellus E23-2 being the most effective. These treatments did not harm plant quality, unlike imidacloprid, which reduced visual quality despite its high efficacy. Alternaria murispora and S. bellus E23-2 effectively control P. solenopsis, providing a sustainable, plant-safe alternative to chemical insecticides.

Сахарный диабет 2-го типа и сердечно-сосудистые заболевания являются связанными взаимоутяжеляющими патологическими состояниями. Это требует проведения системного лечения, направленного на коррекцию гипергликемии, артериальной гипертензии и дислипидемии. Рассмотрены особенности гипотензивной и липидснижающей терапии при СД. В лечении рекомендовано использование фиксированных комбинаций глюкозоснижающих препаратов, а также гипотензивных лекарственных средств и статинов. Сделаны акценты на фиксированные комбинации метформина с ингибиторами дипептидилпептидазы-4 и ингибиторами натрийглюкозного котранспортера 2-го типа. Отдельное внимание уделено фиксированной комбинации ингибитора ангиотензинпревращающего фермента (лизиноприл), антагониста кальциевых каналов (амлодипин) и статина (розувастатин). Назначение фиксированных комбинаций оптимизирует приверженность пациентов лечению, обеспечивая тем самым снижение кардиоваскулярного риска.

В последние годы активно происходит перестройка мировой экономики, точки силы и роста все больше смещаются со стран Запада на Азиатские страны. Бесспорным лидером и центром силы Азиатского региона является КНР, чья экономика не только занимает второе место в мире, но и опережает по ряду показателей США, которые на протяжении десятилетий продолжали удерживать лидирующие позиции в мировой экономике. Взаимодействие с Китаем, а также другими странами Азии, Латинской Америки, африканскими и арабскими странами является ключевым направлением развития внешнеэкономической политики России на современном этапе. Стоит проследить на каком уровне развития в настоящий момент находятся страны Востока и продумать в каком ракурсе стоит продолжать развивать экономическое взаимодействие с нашими азиатскими партнерами, так как именно за этим взаимодействием стоит будущее развития всей мировой экономики.
In recent years, there has been an active restructuring of the world economy; the points of strength and growth are increasingly shifting from Western countries to Asian countries. The undisputed leader and center of power in the Asian region is the PRC, whose economy not only ranks second in the world, but is also ahead in a number of indicators of the United States, which for decades continued to hold a leading position in the world economy. Interaction with China, as well as other countries in Asia, Latin America, African and Arab countries, is a key direction in the development of Russia’s foreign economic policy at the present stage. It is worth monitoring what level of development the countries of the East are currently at and thinking about in what perspective it is worth continuing to develop economic interaction with our Asian partners, since the future of the development of the entire world economy lies behind this interaction.

При определении рисков реализации направлений развития банковской системы в России в условиях глобальных вызовов замечены уязвимые места банковского сектора, а также подмечены риски, которые на данный момент ограничены недостаточным образом. Например, сокращение количества банков в России, увеличение количества хакерских атак на банковский сектор и многие другие. Таким образом, при развитии финансового рынка, всегда будут появляться новые риски, поэтому банковскому сектору необходимо быть к ним готовому. При исследовании основных направлений развития банковской системы в России в условиях глобальных вызовов отмечено, что перед российской экономикой стоит много задач и целей, которые усовершенствуют деятельность банковского сектора, а также поспособствуют финансовой устойчивости.
When determining the risks of implementing directions for the development of the banking system in Russia in the context of global challenges, vulnerabilities of the banking sector were noticed, and risks were also noted that are currently insufficiently limited. For example, a reduction in the number of banks in Russia, an increase in the number of hacker attacks on the banking sector and many others. Thus, as the financial market develops, new risks will always appear, so the banking sector needs to be prepared for them. When studying the main directions of development of the banking system in Russia in the context of global challenges, it was noted that the Russian economy faces many tasks and goals that will improve the activities of the banking sector and also contribute to financial stability.
