Gender Differences in the Development of Children’s Conduct Problems: A Four-Year Longitudinal Study
Authors: Álvarez-Voces María , Romero Estrella 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Gender differences in the trajectories of conduct problems have received very little attention in the literature. The present four-year longitudinal study explores gender differences in conduct problems trajectories through early childhood, assessing gender-specific predictors and outcomes. We identified gender-separated conduct problems trajectories in a sample of 2246 young children (M
age in wave 1 = 4.25; 48.5% girls) using latent class growth analyses. We found five trajectories for girls (i.e., low, average, downward, upward, and stable high) and four for boys (i.e., low, average, stable high, and upward). Low parental warmth was related to the most problematic trajectories only in girls. The interpersonal psychopathic trait (grandiose-deceitful) was more pronounced in girls with higher conduct problems scores relative to other psychopathic traits, whereas in boys, the impulsive trait stood out. Meanwhile, boys’ trajectories were more diverse in terms of negative outcomes (e.g., bullying, victimization) than those of girls. This study contributes to the body of work on heterogeneity in conduct problems by identifying different trajectories according to gender, and shows the relevance of gender in understanding the predictors, development, and outcomes of conduct problems.
Colonisation of the Fiji Islands by the Lurcher Yoma sabina (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae)
Authors: Fitzsimons James A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Documenting new colonisations of species and rates of establishment on islands is important for studying ecological interactions with resident species and adds to our understanding of island biogeography. Here, I document the apparent recent establishment of the Lurcher Yoma sabina in the Fiji Islands, a butterfly species previously unrecorded in Fiji in the published literature, some 830 km away from its closest known occurrence in Vanuatu. Based on records in iNaturalist, colonisation is likely to have occurred in the early 2020s.

Abstract
Unobtrusive pulse rate monitoring by continuous video recording, based on remote photoplethysmography (rPPG), might enable early detection of perioperative arrhythmias in general ward patients. However, the accuracy of an rPPG-based machine learning model to monitor the pulse rate during sinus rhythm and arrhythmias is unknown. We conducted a prospective, observational diagnostic study in a cohort with a high prevalence of arrhythmias (patients undergoing elective electrical cardioversion). Pulse rate was assessed with rPPG via a visible light camera and ECG as reference, before and after cardioversion. A cardiologist categorized ECGs into normal sinus rhythm or arrhythmias requiring further investigation. A supervised machine learning model (support vector machine with Gaussian kernel) was trained using rPPG signal features from 60-s intervals and validated via leave-one-subject-out. Pulse rate measurement performance was evaluated with Bland–Altman analysis. Of 72 patients screened, 51 patients were included in the analyses, including 444 60-s intervals with normal sinus rhythm and 1130 60-s intervals of clinically relevant arrhythmias. The model showed robust discrimination (AUC 0.95 [0.93–0.96]) and good calibration. For pulse rate measurement, the bias and limits of agreement for sinus rhythm were 1.21 [− 8.60 to 11.02], while for arrhythmia, they were − 7.45 [− 35.75 to 20.86]. The machine learning model accurately identified sinus rhythm and arrhythmias using rPPG in real-world conditions. Heart rate underestimation during arrhythmias highlights the need for optimization.
High-Order Well-Balanced Methods for the Euler Equations of Gas Dynamics with Gravitational Forces and the Ripa Model
Authors: Gómez-Bueno I. , Castro M. J. , Parés C. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Different well-balanced high-order finite-volume numerical methods for the one-dimensional compressible Euler equations of gas dynamics with gravitational force and for the Ripa model have been proposed in the literature. Most of them preserve either a given family of hydrostatic stationary solutions exactly or all of them approximately. The goal of this paper is to design a general methodology to obtain high-order finite-volume numerical methods for a class of one-dimensional hyperbolic systems of balance laws that preserve approximately all the hydrostatic equilibria and exactly a given family of them. Many fluid models for which the velocity is an eigenvalue of the system belong to this class, the Euler equations and the Ripa model among them. The methods proposed here are based on the design of well-balanced reconstruction operators that require the exact or the approximate computation of local hydrostatic equilibria. To check the efficiency and the well-balancedness of the methods, a number of numerical tests have been performed: the numerical results confirm the theoretical ones.

Authors: Gokturk Ilgım , Ovezova Mamajan , Yilmaz Gaye Ezgi , Turkmen Deniz , Yilmaz Fatma , Denizli Adil 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Herein, an innovative glyphosate imprinted poly(hydroxyethyl methacrylate-N-methacroyl-(L)-phenylalanine methyl ester nanoparticles (MIP@NPs) based plasmonic nanosensor featured with high sensitivity and selectivity was constructed by using the molecular imprinting technique and used for real-time glyphosate detection. The characterization of nanoparticles was performed by the nano Zetasizer and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), while nanosensors were characterized by the Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection (FTIR-ATR) and contact angle measurement. Control experiments were conducted to evaluate the imprinting efficiency on the signal response using a non-imprinted surface plasmon resonance (NIP SPR) nanosensor prepared without adding glyphosate pesticide into the polymerization mixture. The MIP@NPs integrated molecularly imprinted surface plasmon resonance (MIP SPR) nanosensor having synthetic molecular recognition elements yielded a novel biosensing platform for label-free detection and real-time monitoring of glyphosate pesticide. The MIP SPR nanosensor detected the target glyphosate molecule 4.950 times more selectively than the competitor molecule malathion while 3.918 times more selectively than the competitor molecule malaoxon. In addition, the imprinting efficiency factor was found to be 6.76, indicating that the molecular imprinting process was successful. In addition, the imprinting factor was found to be 6.76. Kinetic studies and adsorption characteristics of glycosate adsorption were carried out to assess adsorption dynamics. The linear concentration range for glyphosate detection was 0.001 ppm–10.000 ppm of pesticide, and the detection limit was found to be 0.120 ppb. Studies on the repeatability of the MIP SPR nanosensor revealed that even after five cycles, the signal response for glyphosate detection did not change significantly with relative standard deviation, RSD<1.5 value. The artificial urine selected as the real sample was spiked with glyphosate at a final concentration of 10.000 ppm to evaluate the matrix effect, and the glyphosate amount was reported.
Social interventions for children in street situations in South Africa: socio-legal protection by the South African Department of Social Development
Authors: Matarise Fungai , Chibonore Wilma Claris 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The protection of children in street situations is a key policy issue that is mostly spearheaded by governments, the non-profit sector, private sector and religious organisations. Children in street situations are a vulnerable population. In South Africa, projects and programs to protect children in need of care and protection emanate from the Department of Social Development (DSD) which is one of the leading government agencies with responsibilities over children in need of care and protection in the country. Though problems experienced by children in street situations have been widely studied, there exists limited research which explores how these children as juridical subjects are targets of specific public policies and social programmes designed purposely for them. This paper situates and analyses the socio-legal and policy contexts for the social protection of children in street situations in South Africa and the role played by the Department of Social Development as the main government entity responsible for vulnerable children. The study adopted a qualitative approach where data was collected through face to face and telephone interviews with social workers who work with children in street situations in Pretoria. Data was analysed using thematic analysis. The study findings reveal that children in street situations in South Africa fall under a broad category of children in need of care and protection. The children are not viewed as a distinct group, hence, there are no targeted interventions specifically for them as existing interventions are universal for all vulnerable children in South Africa. Thus, social policy for children in need of care and protection should be implemented to target specific groups of children within the broader category of children in need of care and protection in the country.

Authors: Lesko Dusan , Soltes Marek , Tomasurova Diana , Katuchova Jana 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This report details a successful laparoscopic resection of a retroperitoneal low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma. A 57-year-old woman with a BMI of 44.2 presented with recurrent back pain. Imaging via computed tomography (CT) identified a solid tumor measuring 6.5 × 5.7 × 9.2 cm situated in the right retroperitoneum, located between the right kidney and iliac artery, and posterior to the inferior vena cava (IVC). The tumor was successfully removed laparoscopically. Pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis as a low-grade fibromyxoid sarcoma, commonly referred to as Evans tumor. The patient experienced an uneventful recovery and was discharged on the fourth postoperative day, asymptomatic. This case highlights the rarity of an Evans tumor within the retroperitoneal space. Follow-up PET-CT and MRI performed one year later returned negative results.

Abstract

Background:
Understanding healthcare personnel’s (HCP) contact patterns are important to mitigate healthcare-associated infectious disease transmission. Little is known about how HCP contact patterns change over time or during outbreaks such as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods:
This study in a large United States healthcare system examined the social contact patterns of HCP via standardized social contact diaries. HCP were enrolled from October 2020 to June 2022. Participants completed monthly surveys of social contacts during a representative working day. In June 2022, participants completed a 2-day individual-level contact diary. Regression models estimated the association between contact rates and job type. We generated age-stratified contact matrices.

Results:
Three-hundred and sixty HCP enrolled, 157 completed one or more monthly contact diaries and 88 completed the intensive 2-day diary. In the monthly contact diaries, the median daily contacts were 15 (interquartile range (IQR) 8–20), this increased slightly during the study (slope-estimate 0.004, p-value 0.016). For individual-level contact diaries, 88 HCP reported 2,550 contacts over 2 days. HCP were 2.8 times more likely to contact other HCP (n = 1,592 contacts) than patients (n = 570 contacts). Rehabilitation/transport staff, diagnostic imaging technologists, doctors, nurses, mid-level, and laboratory personnel had higher contacts compared with the lowest contact group (Nursing aids). Contact matrices concentrated in working-age populations.

Conclusions:
HCP contacts concentrate in their work environment, primarily with other HCP. Their contacts remained stable over time even during large changes to societal contact patterns during the COVID-19 pandemic. This stability is critical for designing outbreak and pandemic responses.

Team familiarity, task familiarity, and quality competition: Evidence from Japanese sake brewing
Authors: Zhang Sen , Yuan Hang , Zhao Mengru , Kim Donghoon , Hori Keisuke , Hoshino Yusuke , Shimizu Hiroshi 
Published: January 2025

AbstractUsing longitudinal data on teams and quality competition results, this study examines the impact of team and task familiarity on brewing excellence in the Japanese sake industry from 1956 to 2018. Sake production involves teamwork at every stage, but while some teams work together long term, others experience high turnover. The study highlights two factors: team familiarity, the collective experience of working together, and task familiarity, the individual experience of the task. High familiarity can strengthen team bonds and improve teamwork, but it can also limit the inflow of new knowledge and thus hinder innovation. This study uses data from national quality competitions and brewer lists, and considers the Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 as an external shock to address endogeneity and estimate the causal relationship between familiarity and competition outcomes. The empirical results show that increases in both team and task familiarity are negatively associated with quality superiority.
Singing the ‘Pope’s Dregs’: The Liber Precum Publicarum of 1560 And its Use
Authors: BURKE JAMES 
Published: January 2025

AbstractThe passing of the Elizabethan Act of Uniformity in 1559 and the publication of the Elizabethan Book of Common Prayer later that year returned the language of public worship to English, but a Latin translation of that prayer book issued in 1560 — the Liber precum publicarum — allowed certain scholastic institutions to continue using Latin liturgies. Seldom has this volume been discussed in detail, despite its important implications for composers connected to those institutions in permitting the continued composition of Latin-texted music for liturgical, rather than merely extra-liturgical or devotional, use. This article considers the background to the Liber precum publicarum, assesses its contents, and examines the extent to which it was acquired and used by the few institutions for which it was produced. It finds that the volume was apparently not acquired by those institutions, owing probably to the political and religious climates of Oxford and Cambridge in the 1560s. It therefore casts light on why little (or indeed any) Latin-texted polyphony composed for bona fide liturgical use survives from the reign of Elizabeth I.
Wolbachia does not give an advantage to the ectoparasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say, 1836) when it develops on an infected host
Authors: Kryukova Natalia A. , Polenogova Olga V. , Rotskaya Ulyana N. , Zolotareva Karina A. , Chertkova Ekaterina A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The effect of Wolbachia on the viability and antimicrobial activity of the ectoparasitoid Habrobracon hebetor was evaluated in laboratory experiments. Two lines of the parasitoid, Wolbachia-infected (W+) and Wolbachia-free (W−), were used. Parasitoid larvae were fed with a host orally infected with a sublethal dose of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) and on the host uninfected with Bt. Parasitoid survival was assessed at developmental stages from second-instar larvae to adults. At all developmental stages, there were no statistically significant differences in survival between lines W+ and W−, regardless of host Bt infection. In both W+ and W− lines, the expression of lysozyme-like proteins, antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), and Hsp70 genes was analysed in fourth-instar larvae fed with an infected and uninfected host. In addition, lysozyme-like activity and antibacterial activity were evaluated. The expression of AMPs was significantly higher in W− larvae and did not get induced during the feeding on the Bt-infected host. mRNA expression of lysozyme-like proteins and lysozyme activity were significantly higher in W+ larvae than in W− larvae and did not get induced when the larvae were fed with the infected host. In whole-body homogenates of H. hebetor larvae fed with the uninfected host, antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria (Bacillus cereus and Bacillus subtilis) was significantly higher in the W+ line and did not get induced during the feeding with the Bt-infected host. Therefore, there is no obvious immunostimulatory effect of Wolbachia in H. hebetor larvae when they feed on a host infected with an entomopathogenic bacterium.
Tropical forests and cocoa production: synergies and threats in the chocolate market

Summary
Cocoa is an important agricultural product that plays a crucial role in local communities in South America. In Brazil, it is traditionally grown in agroforestry systems, which are more sustainable and contribute to biodiversity conservation. However, the recent expansion of intensive monocultures in tropical forests poses significant threats to this activity. Using historical data on land use and cocoa productivity at the municipality level from Brazil’s primary cocoa-producing states, we show that maintaining and restoring forest cover are positively correlated with cocoa productivity, particularly in areas with less anthropogenic disturbance. This highlights the dependence of cocoa production on ecosystem services. Recent data reveal that in municipalities where local agriculture is less reliant on cocoa, only larger farms have benefitted from increased forest cover, probably due to their greater dependence on fragments of natural habitat for ecosystem services. In municipalities that are more reliant on cocoa, the effects of forest cover were not detected, while strong negative effects of forest fragmentation were observed in both small- and large-scale farms. We emphasize the importance of preserving natural forests near cocoa plantations to optimize productivity in Amazon and Atlantic Forest agroforestry, especially in deforested areas.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Objectives
This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Persian version of the International ICD-11 Prolonged Grief Disorder Scale (IPGDS).

Methods
A total of 554 participants (18 years and older, 326 women) completed the Persian IPGDS along with other measures. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling. The study assessed confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), convergent validity, and reliability of the Persian IPGDS.

Results
CFA supported a 4-dimensional model, indicating good structural validity of the Persian IPGDS. Convergent validity was established through correlations with measures of depression, anxiety, and PTSD.

Significance of results
These findings suggest that the Persian IPGDS exhibits satisfactory psychometric properties, making it a valid tool for measuring Prolonged Grief Disorder (PGD) in Persian-speaking Iranian adults.
