description: The era of the Weimar Republic is regarded as a period showing a marked increase in cool fashion presentations. Depictions of coolness as a fashion practice of dressing and style narratives in the literature of the Weimar Republic has this far hardly been discussed in Fashion Studies. In the foreground of the essay are the styling performances of urban flappers, bohemians and jazz boys in novels of the 1920s. With their looks these characters – who can be considered as antecedent hipsters – try to distance themselves from the mainstream. They usually live in metropolises. Mostly this means Berlin, often described as a transcultural area where diverse trends from different countries are blended to the flair of the “Roaring Twenties.” In the German capital a new cosmopolitan scene unfolds that also includes members of the British “bright young things.” Dancing the Charleston, these figures are often presented as wild. Their styles seem as vibrant as their dance steps with which they differentiate themselves from the generation of their bourgeois parents. In this context the essay highlights the question: in what sense is the idea of cool fashion and hipsterism as a statement of otherness often correlated not only with the fashion industry but also with the cool appearance of Afro-American musicians and artists, and in that context with several exoticisms and primitivisms. By showing selected examples the essay points out some problematic dimensions and ambiguities of cool fashion performances from the Weimar Republic till today. This demonstrates that the 1920s were perceived as a short period, as Langston Hughes states, “where the negro was in vogue.” Overall, the essay shows how white writers and artists from their superior perspective of whiteness glorify blackness as a fashionable fetish and an anti-bourgeois statement by combining specific aesthetics and outfits with different mystical stereotypes and desires for nonconformity, closeness to nature and freedom. They formulate a crucial motif of white hipster coolness which is part of the rhetoric of socially critical outsiderism right up until the present day.

The Fashion Show as a Festival of Gesamtkunstwerk
Creators: name: Sosnowski, Leszek
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal

Subjects: Karl Lagerfeld; Fashion Show; Festival; Work of Art; Gesamtkunstwerk

description: Fashion affects all areas of individual and social life, transcending mere clothing. Hence it can serve as the subject of technical, historical, artistic, and philosophical reflection. The subject of the present paper encompasses the philosophy and aesthetics of a fashion show – especially several of Karl Lagerfeld’s last projects, which can be treated as total works of art uniting several different artistic fields within their frameworks. The idea of a Gesamtkunstwerk, a total work of art, is applied nowadays to almost every multimedia phenomenon. Such widespread use of this term seems arbitrary; nevertheless, all works related to multimedia pop culture can be called total works of art. This applies to music concerts from the 1960s, such as those of the Beatles, and contemporary theater and music performances, such as those of Lady Gaga.

Sewing in the Net – Collective-Aesthetical Experiences of Vestimentary Self-Fabrication
Creators: name: Venohr, Dagmar
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2020
Subjects: Self-made Fashion; DIY Blogging; Diversity; Solidarity; Creativity

description: For a few years now some DIY bloggers have reflected the aesthetical development of the own and of the other in their vestimentary activities, in their creative production processes and in their collective-structured events. They design, construct and sew most of their garments. Sew-blogging reveals a self-generating form of collective vestimentary self-fabrication. This is directly linked to the aesthetic-practical agency, the sewing of clothes for themselves, the aestheticizing and showing of oneself in these clothes as well as the detailed description and visualization of the manufacturing process of the garments. In these forms of aesthetic communitization, an exclusionary fashion dictum can no longer prevail against the polyphonic emphasis and positive reinforcement of diversity, solidarity, and creativity through inclusive body awareness in collective self-sewn clothing. By an iconotextual analysis of the “MeMadeMittwoch,” a weekly moderated linking session in which the bloggers present each other their clothes sewn by themselves, the article reveals wherein the empowering moment of the fashion-agency lies, what is meant by vestimentary self-fabrication and how the collective-aesthetic appears between and within different medialization formations of the vestimentary.

Shanghai Fashion Week: A Socially Engaging Mass Entertainment with a Professional Infrastructure
Creators: name: Wang, Zhe
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2020
Subjects: Fashion Culture; Fashion Week; Social Fashion; Socialist Ideology; Global Fashion Ecosystem

description: This paper uses a cultural event in the global fashion ecosystem that has been largely ignored, the fashion week, as an entry point to elaborate on the explicit cultural characteristics of Shanghai Fashion Week (SHFW) alongside the significant rise and construction of the Chinese design and fashion cultural system in the past five years. Under the structural interconnectedness between art and capitalism in the global fashion industry, together with the drive of the socialist ideology of the public ownership of the means of production in China, SHFW is now showing discrete cultural characteristics, absorbing as much knowledge as it can from the legitimate fashion week system and incorporating this in the domestic industry context. This paper also argues that SHFW has built up an interactive and dynamic infrastructure or ecosystem within the domestic fashion culture, enhancing its socialist characteristics with the intertwining of a core professional fashion week and a mass carnival event. Its deep engagement with both the general public and professional insiders is a unique cultural characteristic that distinguishes it from Paris Fashion Week and London Fashion Week.

description: Background: Changes in DNA methylation in the mammalian genome during development are frequent events and play major roles regulating gene expression and other developmental processes. It is necessary to identify these events so that we may understand how these changes affect normal development and how aberrant changes may impact disease. Results: In this study Methylated DNA ImmunoPrecipitation (MeDIP) was used in conjunction with a NimbleGen promoter plus CpG island (CpGi) array to identify Tissue and Developmental Stage specific Differentially Methylated DNA Regions (T-DMRs and DS-DMRs) on a genome-wide basis. Four tissues (brain, heart, liver, and testis) from C57BL/6J mice were analyzed at three developmental stages (15 day embryo, E15; new born, NB; 12 week adult, AD). Almost 5,000 adult T-DMRs and 10,000 DS-DMRs were identified. Surprisingly, almost all DS-DMRs were tissue specific (i.e. methylated in at least one tissue and unmethylated in one or more tissues). In addition our results indicate that many DS-DMRs are methylated at early development stages (E15 and NB) but are unmethylated in adult. There is a very strong bias for testis specific methylation in non-CpGi promoter regions (94%). Although the majority of T-DMRs and DS-DMRs tended to be in non-CpGi promoter regions, a relatively large number were also located in CpGi in promoter, intragenic and intergenic regions (>15% of the 15,979 CpGi on the array). Conclusions: Our data suggests the vast majority of unique sequence DNA methylation has tissue specificity, that demethylation has a prominent role in tissue differentiation, and that DNA methylation has regulatory roles in alternative promoter selection and in non-promoter regions. Overall, our studies indicate changes in DNA methylation during development are a dynamic, widespread, and tissue-specific process involving both DNA methylation and demethylation.

description: Background. World Health Organization guidelines now recommend routine use of viral load testing, where available, for patients receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART). However, its use has not been routinely implemented in many resource-limited settings due to cost, availability and accessibility. Viral load testing is complex, making its application in resource-limited settings challenging. We describe the issues encountered by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) when using routine viral load testing in a large HIV programme in sub-Saharan Africa. Methods Between October 2005 and August 2006, more than 1200 patients on ART had viral load tests at baseline and at three-month intervals performed by a local reference laboratory that was quality assured by an experienced international institution. Concerns with reliability of results halted testing. The quality control measures instituted with a second laboratory and outcomes of these were documented. Results In 2005 and 2006, only 178 of 334 (53%) previously ART-naïve patients tested after six to 12 months of treatment had viral loads of less than 1000 copies/mL. Similar MSF programmes elsewhere demonstrated virological suppression rates of more than 85%, and duplicate testing showed unacceptable discordance. Laboratory problems encountered included: disregarded quality control; time delays; requirement for retesting; and duplicate sample variations. Potentially harmful clinical outcomes of inaccurate viral load results include: unnecessary ART regimen changes; unnecessary enhanced adherence counselling after "false failures"; and undetected virological failure. Conclusions Viral load testing performed without rigorous quality control carries the risk of erroneous and potentially damaging results. Viral load testing should be utilized only if robust quality assurance has been implemented. Our experience in this and other settings led to the development of a guide for assessing the suitability of a laboratory for viral load testing that can be used to help achieve reliable results.

Zodarion guadianense Cardoso, in Pekár et al. 2003: 394, figs 25, 33 (♀).
Type material examined. Holotype PORTUGAL: ♀, Ribeira de Limas (Parque Natural do Vale do Guadiana), Serpa, 14.VIII.2000, P. Cardoso leg., MNHN-AR14330.
Diagnosis: The female of Z. guadianense can be distinguished from other relatives in the styliferum group by its small, sub-quadrate epigynal plate that widens posteriorly (Fig. 38F).
Description: For a detailed description of the female habitus, see Pekár et al. (2003). Epigyne (Fig. 38F): Epigynal plate sub-quadrate, slightly widened posteriorly, anteriorly limited by a pair of touching chitinous margins. Copulatory openings and pits unclear.
Comments: We could not photograph the epigyne of Z. guadianense since it is damaged. Based on the female copulatory organ, this species was classified in the rubidum group (Pekár et al. 2003). However, it shares remarkable similarities (Fig. 38F) with members of the styliferum group, including Z. bosmansi (Fig. 38D), Z. gregua (Fig. 38E), and Z. segurense (Fig. 38I). Therefore, we transfer Z. guadianense to the styliferum group.
Distribution: Portugal.

description: Abstract

Treatment options for hepatocellular carcinoma using chemotherapeutics at intermediate and advanced stages of disease are limited as patients most rapidly escape from therapy and succumb to disease progression. Mechanisms of the hepatic xenobiotic metabolism are mostly involved in providing chemoresistance to therapeutic compounds. Given the fact that the aberrant activation of cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) is frequently observed in hepatocellular carcinomas, we focused on the efficacy of the novel compounds BA-12 and BP-14 that antagonize CDK1/2/5/7 and CDK9. Inhibition of those CDKs in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell lines reduced the clonogenicity by arresting cells in S–G2 and G2–M phase of the cell cycle and inducing apoptosis. In contrast, primary human hepatocytes failed to show cytotoxicity and apoptosis. No loss of chemosensitivity was observed in hepatocellular carcinoma cells after long-term exposure to inhibitors. In vivo, treatment of xenografted human hepatocellular carcinomas with BA-12 or BP-14 effectively repressed tumor formation. Moreover, BA-12 or BP-14 significantly diminished diethylnitrosamine (DEN)-induced hepatoma development in mice. These data show that BA-12 or BP-14 exhibit strong antitumorigenic effects in the absence of chemoresistance, resulting in a superior efficacy compared with currently used chemotherapeutics in hepatocellular carcinomas.
Analyzing Mafic Rocks and their Interactions with Host Granodiorite in the Jackass Lakes Pluton of the Central Sierra Nevada Batholith

description: The intrusion of mafic magmas has often been interpreted to trigger volcanic eruptions. Thus, understanding interactions between mafic and felsic magmas in plutons is important. This study analyzed seventeen samples from mafic enclaves in the NW- central region of the Jackass Lake Pluton (JLP) with petrography, cathodoluminescencemicroscopy, XRF whole rock major element, and LA-ICPMS trace and rare earth element analyses to examine if these magmas are compositionally homogeneous and derived from the same source, and to what degree they interacted with host granodiorites. Preliminary petrography has revealed that hornblende and plagioclase feldspar vary most in abundance, ranging from 12-40% and 5-27% in area. Plagioclase varies most in grain size (0.20-20 mm) and forms sizeable clusters. Sericitized plagioclase cores indicate higher An-content derived from earlier more mafic magmas. Zoned plagioclase grains from the diorite and host granodiorites will be imaged with CL and compared to one another.  Although mixing between these two magma types is apparent, XRF and LA-ICPMS will help determine the degree of mixing (and crystal recycling). While the same mineralogy and similar mineral abundances allude to a potential shared magma source, this hypothesis will also befurther tested with XRF and LA-ICPMS whole rock element data.
title: THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN MATERNAL AND PATERNAL INCONSISTENT PARENTING AND CYBERBULLYING VICTIMIZATION, ANXIETY AND DEPRESSIVE SYMPTOMS AMONG ADOLESCENTS

subject: FOS: Agricultural sciences

description: The present research investigated the associations between maternal and paternal inconsistent parenting and cyberbullying victimization, anxiety, and depression. It also tested the extent to which these relationships were moderated by sex. It was expected that inconsistent maternal and paternal parenting would be positively associated with cyberbullying victimization, anxiety, and depressive symptoms. It was also expected that the links between maternal and paternal inconsistent parenting and cyberbullying victimization, anxiety as well as depression symptoms would not be moderated by sex. Data were collected from 500 14–18-year-old Czech teenagers, with a mean age of 14.4 years; 54% of the participants were female. Descriptive statistics were computed using SPSS. Study findings provided evidence of positive correlations between both maternal and paternal inconsistent parenting and cyberbullying victimization. Similarly, positive associations were also observed between maternal and paternal inconsistent parenting and measures of anxiety and depressive symptoms. Additionally, results provided evidence that maternal and paternal parenting inconsistency were additively associated with each of the three dependent measures, thus indicating there was fairly little overlap between the two. Finally, no sex differences were found in these tested relationships based on a multigroup test. Study findings have important implications for the impact of parenting on adolescent adjustment.

Parasitic Indian Olive

description: Parasitic plants exploit their hosts for water and nutrients, often resulting in a decreased reliance on photosynthetic processes. Increased levels of parasitism are associated with relaxed evolutionary pressure to photosynthesize, often resulting in dramatic changes to the chloroplast genome (i.e. plastome). Santalales is an order of angiosperms containing over 2000 species in 18 families, with species representing all ranges of parasitism, from nonparasitic to hemiparasitic and holoparasitic. Members of this order include sandalwoods and mistletoes, both economically and culturally important species. Using Geneious R9, we sequenced and annotated the plastome of Nestronia umbellula and compared it with relatives to examine the evolution of gene losses associated with parasitism in the Santalales. We found that this species' genome contains an average GC content and lower number of genic content than the compared species. Comparing the suite of genomes revealed the holoparasite to have a lower GC content than the chosen six Santalales. Information will be used in future studies to clarify phylogenetic relationships within the order.
Bayesian adjustment for measurement error in continuous exposures in an individually matched case-control study

description: Background: In epidemiological studies explanatory variables are frequently subject to measurement error. The aim of this paper is to develop a Bayesian method to correct for measurement error in multiple continuous exposures in individually matched case-control studies. This is a topic that has not been widely investigated. The new method is illustrated using data from an individually matched case-control study of the association between thyroid hormone levels during pregnancy and exposure to perfluorinated acids. The objective of the motivating study was to examine the risk of maternal hypothyroxinemia due to exposure to three perfluorinated acids measured on a continuous scale. Results from the proposed method are compared with those obtained from a naive analysis. Methods: Using a Bayesian approach, the developed method considers a classical measurement error model for the exposures, as well as the conditional logistic regression likelihood as the disease model, together with a random-effect exposure model. Proper and diffuse prior distributions are assigned, and results from a quality control experiment are used to estimate the perfluorinated acids' measurement error variability. As a result, posterior distributions and 95% credible intervals of the odds ratios are computed. A sensitivity analysis of method's performance in this particular application with different measurement error variability was performed. Results: The proposed Bayesian method to correct for measurement error is feasible and can be implemented using statistical software. For the study on perfluorinated acids, a comparison of the inferences which are corrected for measurement error to those which ignore it indicates that little adjustment is manifested for the level of measurement error actually exhibited in the exposures. Nevertheless, a sensitivity analysis shows that more substantial adjustments arise if larger measurement errors are assumed. Conclusions: In individually matched case-control studies, the use of conditional logistic regression likelihood as a disease model in the presence of measurement error in multiple continuous exposures can be justified by having a random-effect exposure model. The proposed method can be successfully implemented in WinBUGS to correct individually matched case-control studies for several mismeasured continuous exposures under a classical measurement error model.

Coolness, Aesthetic Agency and Self-Construction
Creators: name: Arielli, Emanuele
Publisher: name: ZoneModa Journal
Year: 2020
Subjects: Coolness; Self-construction; Autonomy; Aesthetic Agency; “Sprezzatura”

description: The notion of coolness is connected with a broad range of different meanings that involve personal attitude, taste, fashion choices but also the recognition of uniqueness and authenticity by others. Moreover, coolness is related to self-confidence and imperturbability, as the usual historical reconstructions of its meaning show. In fact, the manifestation of subjective invulnerability is the expression of the general need to avoid any weakness that could challenge one’s own autonomy through other people’s gaze. In other words, the opposite of cool is to be excessively self-conscious, too dependent on the approval of others, and to be exposed and vulnerable to external judgment. Taking cues from these different meanings, this contribution will try to argue how the need for individual autonomy, social recognition and aesthetic fulfilment are closely intertwined in the practices of coolness, defined as acts of “self-construction” and, in particular, as aesthetic self-fashioning. From this perspective, it will be argued that even the most frivolous search for coolness as a stylistic attitude in everyday’s aesthetic domain like fashion, consumption and lifestyle, plays a role in the dynamics of self-assertion and becomes an instrument for recognition and autonomy.

Subjects: Fashion; Age; Branding; Instagram; Aesthetics

description: This study examines the aesthetic character components of ageing models in the practise of fashion branding on Instagram from an interdisciplinary humanist perspective. The purpose of the analysis is to show how the aesthetics of age is applied in SoMe branding. Do the posts communicate age as copy of youth, or do the mature models result in a renewed aesthetic character of age? The study has a social constructionist framework with a sample of photos from international fashion brands’ visual discourse, and it is processed in two steps. The first step identifies the aesthetic themes of age in a two-level procedure. As a second step the aesthetic themes are discussed from four sensory dimensions, and then analysed in detail from an aesthetic perspective. Subsequently, the aesthetic character in the themes of age is elaborated. The analysis shows that the sample’s aesthetic character of age varies. It is unfolded as an aesthetic intensifier, an element of distinctive cool, and as a celebration of the aging body which becomes brand capital. There is no one single aesthetic character but there is a common integration of age as aesthetic capital into the SoMe fashion practise.

Spontaneous remission of Crohn's disease following a febrile infection: case report and literature review
Creators: name: Hoption Cann, Stephen A
name: Van Netten, Johannes P
Publisher: name: BioMed Central
Year: 2016

description: Crohn's disease is a chronic illness that may often follow a relapsing-remitting course. Many of the factors that may be associated with the spontaneous remission of this disease (i.e. not related to specific treatment) remain to be determined. In the present report, we review the medical history of a patient with a long history of moderate to severe Crohn's whose complete remission immediately followed the development of a febrile infection. The patient first developed symptoms of Crohn's in her late adolescent years. At the time of diagnosis at age 23, she was placed on mesalamine - without effective control her disease symptoms. Due to progressive deterioration, the patient underwent a bowel resection at age 25. Soon afterwards symptoms recurred, gradually increasing in severity. In February 2005, at age 36, the patient developed a painful abscess associated with a rectal fistula. Other symptoms at the time included chronic bone and stomach pain, swollen joints, and debilitating fatigue. Surgical correction was scheduled in mid-March. In late February, the patient developed a respiratory infection associated with fevers of 103-104°F. After the onset of fever, the abscess pain disappeared and this was soon followed by a disappearance of all other disease symptoms. By the time the corrective surgery occurred, she had no Crohn's symptoms. Her remission lasted 10 weeks when the previous symptoms then reappeared. The patient has subsequently used a variety of conventional therapies, but still suffers from severe symptoms of her disease. In recent years, a growing body of literature has emphasized the important role that innate immunity plays in the etiology of Crohn's disease; however, a key component of innate immunity, the febrile response, has been overlooked. Other cases of spontaneous remission following febrile infection in inflammatory bowel disease have been reported. Moreover, induction of a febrile response was in the past used as a treatment for inflammatory bowel disease, but was later replaced by surgery and corticosteroids. Further exploration of this arm of the innate immune response may provide new opportunities for patients where conventional therapies fail to secure relief.

description: This paper describes the theoretical and conceptual framework and the research and practice model of Think&EatGreen@School, a community-based action research project aiming to foster food citizenship in the City of Vancouver and to develop a model of sustainable institutional food systems in public schools. The authors argue that educational and policy interventions at the school and school board level can drive the goals of food system sustainability, food security, and food sovereignty. The complex relationship between food systems, climate change and environmental degradation require that international initiatives promoting sustainability be vigorously complemented by local multi-stakeholder efforts to preserve or restore the capacity to produce food in a durable manner. As a step towards making the City of Vancouver green, we are currently involved in attempts to transform the food system of the local schools by mobilizing the energy of a transdisciplinary research team of twelve university researchers, over 300 undergraduate and graduate students, and twenty community-based researchers and organizations working on food, public health, environmental and sustainability education.

This brings the idea of training journalists at Open Science to acquire new tools and avoid the spread of 'flawed or fake science' . The Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) has been providing media training to researchers for years. In turn, journalists and institutional communicators could be trained in Open Science to improve - the selection of scientific content to relay - and the accuracy of the reports. A proposal was formulated in the form of posters at the swissuniversities Open Science Action Plan: Kick-Off Forum of 17 October 2019 . Swissuniversities and the SNSF can unite and begin to make a commitment to raise the awareness of journalists and institutional communicators at Open Science.

Zodarion lusitanicum — Pekár et al. 2011: 25 (♂ ♀).
Type material examined. Holotype PORTUGAL: ♂, Fonte de Aldeia (Parque Natural do Douro Internacional), Miranda do Douro, 8.VIII.2001, P. Cardoso leg., MNHN-AR 14331.
Diagnosis: Zodarion lusitanicum can be distinguished from other members within the styliferum group by the tibial apophysis, with a recurved tip in the ventral view (Fig. 34N), and a sub-trapezoidal epigynal plate, widened toward the posterior part (Fig. 38G).
Description: For a detailed description of the habitus and male palp, see Pekár et al. (2003). Epigyne (Fig. 38G): Epigynal plate sub-trapezoidal, anteriorly limited by a pair of touching margins, laterally well defined by chitinous edges, gradually widened toward the posterior part. Copulatory openings and pits not well defined.
Comment: Based on the morphology of the male and female copulatory organs, this species was classified by Pekár et al. (2011) in the elegans species group. However, males have a significantly elongated tibial apophysis (Fig. 34O), a reverse, U-shaped median apophysis (Fig. 34N and fig. 16 in Pekár et al. 2011), and a single-flue harpoon-shaped subterminal tooth of embolus (Fig. 34N), and females have a broad and sub-rectangular epigynal plate (Fig. 38G), and S-shaped chitinous edges of the epigynal plate (Fig. 38G). Since these features resemble those of Z. bosmansi (cf. Figs 34I, 34H, 38D, respectively), we hereby transfer Z. lusitanicum to the styliferum group.
Distribution: Portugal, Spain.

description: In July 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) issued formal revisions of its guidelines on the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy for HIV. The new guidelines greatly expand eligibility for treatment of adults and children, as well as for pregnant women seeking prophylaxis for vertical HIV transmission. WHO's new recommendations bring the guidelines closer to practices in developed countries, and its shift to earlier treatment alone will increase the number of treatment-eligible people by 50% or more. Scaling up access to HIV treatment is revealing important gaps in our understanding of how best to provide for all those in need. This knowledge gap is especially significant in developing countries, where women and children comprise a majority of those living with HIV infection. Given the magnitude and significance of these populations, the International AIDS Society, through its Industry Liaison Forum, prioritized HIV treatment and prophylaxis of women and children. In March 2010, the International AIDS Society and 15 partners launched a Consensus Statement outlining priority areas in which a relative lack of knowledge impedes delivery of optimal prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) and treatment to women and children. The Consensus Statement, "Asking the Right Questions: Advancing an HIV Research Agenda for Women and Children", makes a special appeal for a more gender-sensitive approach to HIV research at all stages, from conception to design and implementation. It particularly emphasizes research to enhance the understanding of sex-based differences and paediatric needs in treatment uptake and response. In addition to clinical issues, the statement focuses on programmatic research that facilitates access and adherence to antiretroviral regimens. Better coordination of HIV management with sexual and reproductive healthcare delivery is one such approach. We discuss here our knowledge gaps concerning effective, safe PMTCT and treatment for women and children in light of the expansion envisioned by WHO's revised guidelines. The guideline's new goals present an opportunity for advancing the women and children's agenda outlined in the Consensus Statement.

The Relationship Between Personality Types and Coping Style

description: This meta-analysis explores the intricate relationship between Big Five personality traits (neuroticism, extraversion, conscientiousness, agreeableness, and openness to experience) and coping mechanisms, with a specific focus on three primary coping styles: task-oriented, emotion-oriented, and avoidance-oriented. Utilizing data obtained from three distinct studies, this analysis synthesizes empirical evidence from diverse cultural and demographic contexts. To establish these results, a variety of personality assessment tools, including the Big Five Inventory (BFI) and NEO Five-Factor Inventory (NEO-FFI), as well as coping strategies questionnaires, such as the Proactive Coping Inventory (PCI), were employed. Findings reveal significant associations between personality traits and specific coping styles. Neuroticism consistently demonstrates a positive correlation with emotion-oriented coping, indicating that individuals scoring high on neuroticism tend to gravitate towards strategies centered on emotional expression and processing. In contrast, conscientiousness is linked to task-oriented coping, suggesting a proactive, solution-focused approach to stressors. These findings have practical implications, informing the development of personalized coping interventions based on individuals' personality assessments. Tailored coping mechanisms, determined from an individual's unique personality profile, hold promise for enhancing mental well-being and resilience in the face of diverse stressors.

Advertising and Humor in the Modern Generation

commercial appeal

description: As young individuals aged 18-26 (Gen Z) have grown to become adult consumers, there is a question of how to appeal to them commercially. Their spending and buying habits have become the main focus of advertisers and companies who try to understand why humor may entice them to buy their products. The need for more research on what humorous tactics appeal to Gen Z is a significant area of inquiry that has yet to be considered. With our online surveys only given to those within the Gen Z demographic via the internet, questions about current running advertisements, their opinions on those advertisements, and their own personal interpretation of humor provided critical insight into a prospective population's general thoughts on the subject. Our findings indicate that, like other generations, humor is considerably effective, but specifically with Gen Z, their appeal to these tactics is entirely niche compared to past generations. The Gen Z market is more responsive to absurd tactics, which use humor that does not feel corporate-made and more avant-garde. Gen Z wants creativity, authenticity, and relevance. Companies and advertisers can use humor in a unique, non-traditional way to gain the appeal and recognition of the Gen Z market - cementing the demographics' loyalty and attention.

description: Abstract

The polyphenolic alcohol resveratrol has demonstrated promising activities for the prevention and treatment of cancer. Different modes of action have been described for resveratrol including the activation of sirtuins, which represent the class III histone deacetylases (HDACs). However, little is known about the activity of resveratrol on the classical HDACs of class I, II and IV, although these classes are involved in cancer development or progression and inhibitors of HDACs (HDACi) are currently under investigation as promising novel anticancer drugs. We could show by in silico docking studies that resveratrol has the chemical structure to inhibit the activity of different human HDAC enzymes. In vitro analyses of overall HDAC inhibition and a detailed HDAC profiling showed that resveratrol inhibited all eleven human HDACs of class I, II and IV in a dose-dependent manner. Transferring this molecular mechanism into cancer therapy strategies, resveratrol treatment was analyzed on solid tumor cell lines. Despite the fact that hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is known to be particularly resistant against conventional chemotherapeutics, treatment of HCC with established HDACi already has shown promising results. Testing of resveratrol on hepatoma cell lines HepG2, Hep3B and HuH7 revealed a dose-dependent antiproliferative effect on all cell lines. Interestingly, only for HepG2 cells a specific inhibition of HDACs and in turn a histone hyperacetylation caused by resveratrol was detected. Additional testing of human blood samples demonstrated a HDACi activity by resveratrol ex vivo. Concluding toxicity studies showed that primary human hepatocytes tolerated resveratrol, whereas in vivo chicken embryotoxicity assays demonstrated severe toxicity at high concentrations. Taken together, this novel pan-HDACi activity opens up a new perspective of resveratrol for cancer therapy alone or in combination with other chemotherapeutics. Moreover, resveratrol may serve as a lead structure for chemical optimization of bioavailability, pharmacology or HDAC inhibition.
