Self-control in criminology: we need a broader conceptualization and links to psychiatric diagnoses
Authors: Levander Sten , Levander Marie Torstensson 
Published: July 2024

BackgroundPoor self-control is a strong correlate of criminal propensity. It is conceptualized and operationalized differently in criminology than in other scientific traditions.Aims(1) To verify the dimensionality of the criminological Grasmick self-control items, other self-regulation items and morality ones. (2) To re-interpret the dimensions using a clinical perspective, a taxonomic/diagnostic model and references to possible “biological underpinnings.” (3) Validate the dimensions by associations with crime.MethodPopulation: all persons born 1995 in Malmö and living there at age 12. A random sample (N = 525) filled in a comprehensive self-report questionnaire on themes like personality, crime/abuse and social aspects at age 15, 16 and 18. Age 18 data were analysed: 191 men and 220 women.ResultsSelf-regulation items were 4-dimensional: ADHD problems (Behavior control and Executive skills) and two Aggression factors. Morality items formed a fifth dimension. Negative Affect and Social interaction factors covered the rest of the variance. The validity of these factors was backed up by correlations with similar items/factors. Self-regulation subscales predicted crimes better than the Grasmick scale; an interaction with morality improved prediction still further. Sex differences were over-all small with three exceptions: Aggression, Morality and Negative affect.ConclusionWe identified four dimensions of the 20-item Grasmick instrument: Cognitive action control (impulsiveness/sensation seeking, response inhibition), Executive skills/future orientation, Affective/aggression reactivity and Aggression control. All should be possible to link to brain functional modules. Much can be gained if we are able to formulate an integrated model of self-regulation including distinct brain functional modules, process-and trait-oriented models, relevant diagnoses and clinical experiences of individual cases.

IntroductionIdentifying the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) gaps of healthy eating can inform the design of effective interventions. This study aimed to test the validity and psychometric properties of a KAP of Healthy Eating Questionnaire (KAP-HEQ) tailored to the Chinese culture.MethodsThe dimensions and potential items of each KAP scale were identified from published KAP and health literacy questionnaires, which were supplemented by the findings of a previous qualitative healthy eating study. Content validity of the KAP-HEQ was evaluated by eight experts and eight Chinese parent–adolescent dyads in Hong Kong through content validity ratio (CVR), content validity index (CVI), and qualitative feedback. The feasibility, construct validity, reliability, and sensitivity of the KAP-HEQ were evaluated in this pilot study among 60 adolescent–parent dyads (120 persons) through an online survey. The first 30 dyads who completed the KAP-HEQ were invited to repeat the KAP-HEQ 2 weeks later to assess the test–retest reliability.ResultsThe final 44-item KAP-HEQ was completed in 10–15 min by both adolescents and their adult parents. The CVR ranged from −0.38 to 1, and the CVI ranged from 0.56 to 1. Over 80% of the items achieved convergent validity (a significantly positive correlation with its hypothesized scale) and discriminant validity (a higher correlation with its hypothesized scale than with the other two scales). Cronbach’s alpha for the internal consistency of the Overall, Attitude, and Practice scales was &gt;0.7, while that of the Knowledge scale was 0.54. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) on test–retest reliability of the Overall and individual scales were all &gt;0.75 except that of the Knowledge scale (ICC = 0.58). The significant differences in KAP scale scores with small to large effect sizes were found between known groups as hypothesized, except the Attitude score between groups by household income, which supported the sensitivity of the KAP-HEQ.ConclusionThe KAP-HEQ has shown good validity, reliability, and sensitivity among Chinese adolescents and adults, which can be applied to evaluate KAP status and gaps to inform the design and assess the effectiveness of healthy eating interventions.

IntroductionThe research examined the antioxidative impact of astragalosides (AST) on experimental acute pancreatitis (AP) in mice. This study aims to assess the correlation between varying doses of astragalosides and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in an acute pancreatitis mouse model. By examining the interplay between astragaloside’s protective effects and its antioxidant properties, we aim to deepen our understanding of its therapeutic potential in acute pancreatitis.MethodsThe AP model in mice was induced by retrograde injection of sodium deoxycholate into the biliary and pancreatic ducts. Serum amylase activity was monitored at various time points following induction. Furthermore, 24 hours post-induction, levels of serum nitric oxide (NO), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in pancreatic tissue were assessed.ResultsThe findings of this study illustrated that AST, while exhibiting a protective effect in experimental AP, could effectively lower the elevated serum NO levels, reduce MDA production, and enhance SOD activity in model mice. AST notably reduced MDA levels in the pancreatic tissue of AP mice, underscoring its ability to inhibit membrane peroxidation induced by oxygen free radicals. Furthermore, AST was observed to elevate SOD activity in scavenging oxygen free radicals in pancreatic tissue.ConclusionThese findings suggest that AST enhances recovery in an experimental acute pancreatitis mouse model by exerting antioxidative effects.

ObjectivesThe Life’s Simple 7 score (LS7) promotes cardiovascular health (CVH). Despite this, some with optimal LS7 develop cardiovascular disease (CVD), while others with poor CVH do not, termed the “CVH paradox.” This paper explores pathways explaining this paradox.MethodsWe examined methodological aspects: 1) misclassification bias in self-reported lifestyle factors (smoking, physical activity, diet); 2) cumulative exposure to risk factors over a lifetime, impacting the CVH paradox. Punctual risk factor assessments are suboptimal for predicting outcomes. We proposed personalized prevention using “novel” elements to refine CVH assessment: 1) subclinical vascular disease markers, 2) metabolic biomarkers in blood and urine, 3) emerging risk factors, 4) polygenic risk scores (PRS), 5) epigenetics, and 6) the exposome.ResultsAddressing the CVH paradox requires a multifaceted approach, reducing misclassification bias, considering cumulative risk exposure, and incorporating novel personalized prevention elements.ConclusionA holistic, individualized approach to CVH assessment and CVD prevention can better reduce cardiovascular outcomes and improve population health. Collaboration among researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, and communities is essential for effective implementation and realization of these strategies.

Nosocomial infections, a prevalent issue in intensive care units due to antibiotic overuse, could potentially be addressed by metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs). However, there is still no comprehensive understanding of the impact of NPs’ size on their antibacterial efficacy. Therefore, this study provides a novel investigation into the impact of ZnO NPs’ size on bacterial growth kinetics. NPs were synthesized using a sol–gel process with monoethanolamine (MEA) and water. X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy confirmed their crystallization and size variations. ZnO NPs of 22, 35, and 66 nm were tested against the most common nosocomial bacteria: Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Gram-negative), and Staphylococcus aureus (Gram-positive). Evaluation of minimum inhibitory and bactericidal concentrations (MIC and MBC) revealed superior antibacterial activity in small NPs. Bacterial growth kinetics were monitored using optical absorbance, showing a reduced specific growth rate, a prolonged latency period, and an increased inhibition percentage with small NPs, indicating a slowdown in bacterial growth. Pseudomonas aeruginosa showed the lowest sensitivity to ZnO NPs, attributed to its resistance to environmental stress. Moreover, the antibacterial efficacy of paint containing 1 wt% of 22 nm ZnO NPs was evaluated, and showed activity against E. coli and S. aureus.

Promover a inclusão é um fenômeno amplo, complexo e aciona diversos elementos que podem ser problematizados sobre o tema. O atual trabalho realiza uma revisão bibliográfica no sentido de pontuar algumas questões importantes para o debate, como: o que dizem alguns documentos oficiais sobre a inclusão; a necessidade de resgatar algumas concepções clássicas que se articulam como pano de fundo na inclusão escolar e a dimensão subjetiva do indivíduo. A inclusão escolar é um processo amplo que envolve toda a comunidade, bem como a criança e o adolescente no meio em que está inserido. A inclusão é, portanto, uma ação coletiva, isto é, que envolve os diversos atores da sociedade.

Published: July 2024

The government of Laos conducted the climate-friendly agribusiness value chains sector project in the year 2019 to encourage the improvement of competitiveness in rice production and to develop production according to meet the needs and production programs of the government. However, the number of farmers who participated in this project is an insignificant proportion compared to the number of total rice farmers. This study aims: 1) to find the problems and suggestions about commercial rice production, and 2) to develop an extension model for commercial rice production. Using a mixed methods research design, data were gathered from a) structured interviews (n = 177) and b) workshops with extension agents (n = 21). The data was analyzed using such statistics as frequency and percentage. The findings showed that most respondents were concerned with 16 problems and eight suggestions about commercial rice production. The extension model of commercial rice production comprised four main components: developing knowledge and understanding of the farmers; approaches for strengthening attitudes; encouraging the use of modern technology; and government supporting factors that could support commercial rice production. Therefore, all concerned organizations should set a clear policy to increase the capacity of the farmers and continue to develop the market system for increasing competitiveness that the farmers can sell their rice products at a satisfactory price as a result, farmers who do not participate in the commercial rice production extension project will turn to participate in the project more in the future.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR) allows for relatively high spatial resolution and random accessibility with single-end light injection into the sensing fiber. Typically, BOCDR relies on directly modulating the laser diode’s driving current, which facilitates sinusoidal frequency modulation for distributed sensing but also introduces unintended power modulation that can degrade performance. To address these power variations, external-modulation BOCDR using a double-sideband modulator has been developed. However, this method generates substantial noise, overpowering the Brillouin signal and impeding accurate strain and temperature measurements. This study clarifies the previously unexplained noise mechanisms and suggests system design optimizations to mitigate their impact.
