Authors: Tuma Trevor T. , Rosenzweig Emily Q. , Chen Xiao-Yin , Lemons Paula P. 
Published: January 2025

AbstractSupport from family, peers, mentors, and professors has a crucial role in the development of students’ motivational beliefs about learning. However, therelativeimportance of each of these social supports in affecting students’ motivation, and the precise processes through which these social factors motivate students, are not well understood at the college level. The present study examined how family, peers, mentors, and professors shaped science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) college students’ motivational beliefs for career decision making, defining motivational beliefs in accordance with situated expectancy-value theory. We collected survey and open-ended responses from a large sample of college students (n= 2,229) in 42 unique STEM courses at a large, public southeastern university in the United States. We examined how, why, and for whom different social supports influenced students’ task-value and/or competence related motivational beliefs for career-decision making. Results indicated that students most often selected interactions with family members as influencing their career decision-making, both in terms of overall influences and as the strongest influence, relative to interactions with peers, mentors, or professors. For all social influences, most students reported being attracted in a positive way towards certain careers as a result of social interactions, as opposed to socializers making students disenchanted with careers. Most students described how social supports influenced motivational beliefs related to task values, with comparatively fewer referencing social influences on competence-related beliefs. Findings highlight the important role of multiple social supports, particularly family, in shaping students’ motivational beliefs and career decision-making throughout emerging adulthood.Educational Impact and Implications StatementPreparing a qualified and diverse STEM workforce requires a robust understanding of the factors that influence college students’ motivational beliefs and decisions about their career paths. We examined how, why, and for whom support from family, peers, mentors, and professors impacted STEM college students career motivation and decision making, using both qualitative and quantitative data. Results suggest that family plays a particularly crucial role in shaping college students’ career motivation, especially by helping them see the positive value of particular career paths. Findings help illustrate the importance of different kinds of social support in guiding career choices throughout emerging adulthood.

Published: January 2025

AbstractApoptotic cell clearance represents the final stage of apoptosis, and involves phagosome formation, maturation, and digestion. Here, we found that SUMO modifications participate in apoptotic cell clearance by influencing phagosomal degradation activity inC. elegans. The SUMO E3 ligase, GEI-17, SUMOylates GDP dissociation inhibitor (GDI-1) at K270 to trigger phagosomal degradation. Upon SUMOylation, GDI-1 facilitates release of GDP-bound RAB-1, which is subsequently converted to the GTP-bound form in a manner dependent on GDI displacement factor, PRAF-3. RAB-1 conversion enables binding and translocation of RAB-7 from the endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi to promote phagosome maturation and degradation activity. In the absence of GDI-1 SUMOylation, GDI-1 binds to GDP-RAB-1, sequestering it in the cytoplasm, resulting in impaired phagosomal degradation. Furthermore, we found SUMOylation of GDI1 at a conserved site plays a crucial role in efferocytosis regulation in mammals. This study defines a previously unrecognized mechanism by which SUMOylation drives apoptotic cell clearance.
Individual differences in punished alcohol self-administration are unaltered by alcohol vapor exposure

Published: January 2025

AbstractContinued alcohol use despite negative consequences is a defining feature of alcohol use disorder (AUD). It remains poorly understood whether individual variability in drinking despite negative consequences is due to inherent differences or emerges after prolonged alcohol use. The goal of the present study was to use a rat model of drinking despite negative consequences to assess individual differences in foot shock-punished alcohol self-administration prior to and following alcohol vapor exposure in male Wistar rats. After baseline operant self-administration was established, rats underwent additional self-administration sessions in which random, response-contingent foot shock punishment was introduced. Average percent change from baseline was calculated for each rat during punished sessions and rats were classified into shock-sensitive (SS) and shock-resistant (SR) subgroups using the top and bottom thirds. Rats then underwent 3 cycles of air or alcohol vapor exposure every other week, with unpunished self-administration sessions occurring during the intervening weeks. Following the last vapor cycle, rats were re-assessed for resistance to foot shock during punished self-administration sessions. Alcohol vapor exposure had no effect on punished self-administration overall, nor by subgroup. Examination of individual differences showed that rats classified as SR showed increased unpunished self-administration relative to baseline regardless of air vs. vapor condition. These data suggest that alcohol history has a minimal effect on individual differences in foot shock-punished self-administration.

Published: January 2025

Purpose
The purpose of this study is to examine linkages between information and communication technology (ICT) use, the ICT regulatory environment and economic development. Businesses and individuals worldwide are increasingly depending on ICTs to facilitate trade and enhance their standard of living. This trend has sparked the argument that ICTs play a crucial role in driving economic development. However, the rise of ICTs has also led to challenges, including cybercrime, intellectual property violations and cyberwarfare, prompting questions about the need for regulation. In spite of these pressing issues, there is a notable lack of empirical research on the relationship between the use of ICTs (by businesses and individuals), their regulation and economic development.

Design/methodology/approach
Because of the limited empirical evidence regarding the connections between ICT use, ICT regulations, and economic development, this study aims to explore these relationships. The authors specifically examine the mediating role of ICT regulations in the impact of ICT use on economic development, as well as the direct effects of ICT use on economic development. To achieve this, the authors develop a hypothesised model that is validated using the technology–organisation–environment framework and capability theory. Additionally, the authors analyse secondary data from 130 countries using partial least squares-structural equation modelling.

Findings
The findings of this study show that both business and individual use of ICTs positively influences economic development. Furthermore, the authors discovered that ICT regulation plays a positive and partial mediating role in the relationship between ICT use and economic development. To encourage users to continue leveraging ICTs to enhance their livelihoods and foster economic growth, it is essential for governments and policymakers to implement effective ICT regulations that protect users’ information resources from illegal access.

Originality/value
The study’s primary contribution to research is its examination of the relationship between ICT usage by businesses and individuals, ICT regulation, and economic development on a global scale. By using secondary data sources, the study delivers rich, comprehensive, and generalisable findings on how the use of ICTs drives economic development. Additionally, through mediation analysis, the authors demonstrate that the presence of ICT regulations aimed at ensuring online privacy and security enhances both business and individual utilisation of ICTs, thereby promoting economic development.

ABSTRACTBackgroundHyperuricemia (HUA), marked by elevated serum urate levels, is increasingly prevalent worldwide. The relationship between lifestyle factors such as sleep duration, daytime napping, and HUA risk remains unclear. Although some studies suggest that sleep variables, including short or long sleep durations and napping, may influence serum uric acid levels, results are inconsistent.MethodsA systematic review and meta‐analysis was performed according to the PRISMA guidelines. Databases such as PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched until February 2024. The data were extracted, and the quality of the study was assessed independently by two reviewers.ResultsTen studies involving a total of 231 978 participants were included. Short sleep duration was related to higher risk of HUA (odds ratio (OR) 1.10, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.03–1.18), while long sleep duration had no significant effect (OR 0.98, 95% CI: 0.89–1.07). The risk of HUA and daytime napping was statistically significant(OR 1.34, 95% CI: 1.12–1.61).ConclusionsShort sleep duration and prolonged daytime napping are associated with an increased risk of HUA. These findings suggest that sleep patterns should be considered in lifestyle interventions for HUA prevention. Further research is required to establish causal relationships.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe aim of this study was to investigate changes in milk conditions and antimicrobial components in goats during 8 weeks prepartum and 1 week postpartum. Milk was collected weekly from seven prepartum goats 8 weeks before the due day, immediately, and 1 week after parturition. Milk color scores and the concentration of antimicrobial components (cathelicidin‐7 and S100A8) were significantly increased prepartum. There was a significant decrease in milk viscosity, color scores, somatic cell count, and antimicrobial components (lactoferrin and cathelicidin‐2, 7) after kidding. However, S100A7 levels did not change throughout the prepartum or postpartum periods. These results indicate that concentrations of cathelicidin‐7 and S100A8 differ between prepartum and postpartum periods. Therefore, these microbial components may play different roles in mastitis prevention. The findings of our study provide important information for regulating antimicrobial components in ruminants to prevent bacterial invasion during the peripartum period.

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of incorporating palmitic acid into the diet of dairy goats on the physicochemical characteristics, nutritional value, and fatty acid profile of goat kid meat. For this, 28 Creole local kids were used, divided into the following treatments: grazing, kids fed milk from grazing goats; base diet, kids fed milk from goats in confinement with a total mixed ration; base diet + 3PA, kids fed milk from goats in confinement that consumed the base diet plus 3% palmitic acid; and base diet + 6PA, kids fed milk from goats in confinement fed with the base diet plus 6% palmitic acid. The feeding period was conducted over a 30‐day period. Live weight, average daily gain, carcass weight, and carcass yield were higher (p ≤ 0.01) in kids from the base diet + 6PA treatment than in the other treatments. The proportion of stearic, elaidic, linoleic, CLA, oleic, and docosahexaenoic fatty acids was higher (p ≤ 0.05) in meat from kids fed with grass‐fed milk. In contrast, kids from the base diet + 3PA and base diet + 6PA treatments had a higher (p ≤ 0.05) proportion of palmitic and palmitoleic acids. The addition of palmitic acid to goat feed improves growth rate and carcass yield and modifies the fatty acid profile in kid meat.
Relationships Between Genetic Parameters in the Component Traits of a Ratio Trait and the Distribution and Heritability of Such Ratio Trait

Published: January 2025

ABSTRACTThe relationships between the distribution and heritability of a ratio trait and the genetic parameters of its component traits were clarified using a Monte Carlo computer simulation. The component traits of a ratio trait were assumed to be normally distributed. The genetic parameters of the ratio trait were estimated using parent–offspring regression. As the genetic and environmental correlations ( and ) of the component traits increased, the variance, skewness, and kurtosis of the ratio trait decreased. The amount of decrease had a greater effect on than on . The estimated heritability of the ratio trait decreased as increased and as decreased. The estimated heritability of a ratio trait can be higher than the heritability of any of its component traits.
Social psychology of context and in context: Understanding the temporal, spatial and embodied dimensions of contemporary geopolitics
Authors: Obradović Sandra , Vincze Orsolya , Sammut Gordon 
Published: January 2025

AbstractCritical voices within social psychology have, for some time, emphasized that context matters for understanding psychological phenomena and processes. This special issue examines what a social psychology of context, and in context, can contribute to understanding contemporary geopolitics. We argue that, in examining the interplay between social psychology and contemporary geopolitics, we can understand how geopolitical contexts shape psychological processes and how psychology, in turn, informs our understanding of geopolitical phenomena. There are two thematic strands of the special issue; first, how psychological mechanisms influence perceptions and actions within geopolitical contexts, and second, how geopolitics shapes psychology as a discipline, including its theoretical frameworks and power dynamics. Papers examine three dimensions within which psychology and geopolitics meet—the temporal, spatial and embodied—representing history, geography and social relations, while emphasizing their interconnectedness. Drawing on critical geopolitics and social psychology, this introduction underscores the constructed, contested and political nature of time and space. By interlinking historical and social meaning with spatialization, this issue offers a deeper understanding of how individuals, groups and nations create and contest the psychological and geopolitical landscapes that shape contemporary life. The contributions highlight both the opportunities and challenges for social psychology in engaging with these critical intersections.
