description: Introduction: Cyberbullying represents one of the main current concerns of parents, educators and clinicians on youth. It consists of aggressive, offensive and injurious behaviors against a person by means of electronic device and sharing abusive content on the web. Previous studies have highlighted that cyberbullying is associated with individual factors, such as personality traits, age, sex and status, often disregarding the value attributed to one's own context of life. According to the Semiotic Dynamic Cultural Psychology Theory (SDPCT), the cultural context can be conceived as a net of interconnected trajectories of meanings, grounding the way of perceiving and experiencing a social environment, and enabling individuals to orient themselves in their material and social world. Aims: The present research aims to explore the relation between directly acted, suffered and indirectly observed behaviors of cyberbullying, the fear to be victim, the awareness of its harmfulness and sensemaking processes of one’s own context. Method: Six hundred twenty-four high school students (Mean AGE = 16.10; SD = 1.60) participated in this study. Participants filled in a questionnaire, consisting of two parts. The former was composed by six scales constructed ad hoc to explore the experience of acted, suffered and observed cyberbullying, the fear of being cyberbullied and the awareness of cyberbullying’s harmfulness. The latter the View of Context (VOC) questionnaire was used to map sensemaking processes through which people interpret their social context. Findings: Results shows significant associations between acted and suffered forms of cyberbullying, between fear of cyberbullying and the awareness of its harmfulness. The acted cyberbullying and suffered cyberbullying are both associated with representation of the context as devaluated (family, schools, social institutions are considered not welcoming, useful or reliable) and deprived of opportunities for the future. Conclusion: On clinical plan, the study suggests the importance of considering the relationships between bullying experienced and acted upon, as well as the role of meaning-making processes in understanding phenomena of social prevarication.

description: BACKGROUND: People with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have been reported to have increased risk of clinical and subclinical cardiovascular disease. Existing studies have focused on men and often have been uncontrolled or lacked adequate HIV-negative comparators. METHODS: We performed echocardiography in the Women's Interagency HIV Study to investigate associations of HIV and HIV-specific factors with cardiac phenotypes, including left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), isolated LV diastolic dysfunction (LVDD), left atrial enlargement (LAE), LV hypertrophy (LVH), and increased tricuspid regurgitation velocity (TRV). RESULTS: Of 1654 participants (age 51 ± 9 years), 70% had HIV. Sixty-three (5.4%) women with HIV (WWH) had LVSD; 71 (6.5%) had isolated LVDD. Compared with women without HIV (WWOH), WWH had a near-significantly increased risk of LVSD (adjusted relative risk = 1.69; 95% confidence interval = 1.00 to 2.86; P = .051). No significant association was noted for HIV seropositivity with other phenotypes, but there was a risk gradient for decreasing CD4+ count among WWH that approached or reached significance for isolated LVDD, LAE, and LVH. WWH with CD4+ count <200 cells/mm3 had significantly higher prevalence of LAE, LVH, and high TRV than WWOH. There were no consistent associations for viral suppression or antiretroviral drug exposure. CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that WWH have a higher risk of LVSD compared with sociodemographically similar WWOH, but their risk for isolated LVDD, LAE, LVH, and high TRV is increased only with reduced CD4+ count. Although these findings warrant replication, they support the importance of cardiovascular risk-factor and HIV-disease control for heart disease prevention in this population.
title: Disability, Reasonable Adjustments and the Scottish Legal Profession

description: It has been 27 years since the enactment of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995 and 12 years since the enactment of the Equality Act 2010, and disability discrimination is still a major problem in the workplace. Disability rights law has been slow to evolve and respond to disability discrimination. Before the enactment of the EA 2010 the government had the opportunity to change the definition of disability which is based on the medical model of disability. Despite criticisms from Disabled People’s Organisations (DPOs) and the disabled community this definition did not change. The EA 2010 entitles a disabled person to reasonable adjustments if they disclose their disability to their employer. The employer must know about the employee’s disability or be reasonably expected to know before a disabled person is entitled to them. Reasonable adjustments can only go so far to support a disabled person to fully participate in work, and non-legal mechanisms will be needed to work alongside the law.

This study focuses on how the EA 2010 protects disabled graduates and solicitors to access and develop a career within the Scottish legal profession. Disabled people deserve to have professional careers and not just a job. The study interviewed disabled graduates and solicitors and examined the case law as part of the doctrinal methodology. Many of the participants have experienced discrimination and stigma when they have disclosed their disability to their employer. Many of the participants did not want to disclose their disability because they feared it would impact negatively on their career prospects. Reasonable adjustments are seen by many in the legal profession as privileges instead of vital support for disabled solicitors. Through the qualitative interviews the participants faced many barriers in the legal workplace including stigma and bullying, old fashioned and engrained working practices and lack of promotion opportunities and access to courts and offices. This study found that there needs to be a shift in the negative culture towards graduates and solicitors. There is an ableist culture present within the Scottish law profession and legal mechanisms such as reasonable adjustments cannot tackle this problem alone. Non-legal mechanisms are needed in conjunction with legal solutions. The legal sector must stop equating disability with a lack of ability and embrace disability diversity. This study brings doctrinal methodology together with qualitative findings to make recommendations to improve the representation of disabled people in the Scottish law profession.

description: Let $R$ be a commutative ring, $f \in R[X_1,\ldots,X_k]$ a multivariate polynomial, and $G$ a finite subgroup of the group of units of $R$ satisfying a certain constraint, which always holds if $R$ is a field. Then, we evaluate $\sum f(x_1,\ldots,x_k)$, where the summation is taken over all pairwise distinct $x_1,\ldots,x_k \in G$. In particular, let $p^s$ be a power of an odd prime, $n$ a positive integer coprime with $p-1$, and $a_1,\ldots,a_k$ integers such that $φ(p^s)$ divides $a_1+\cdots+a_k$ and $p-1$ does not divide $\sum_{i \in I}a_i$ for all non-empty proper subsets $I\subseteq \{1,\ldots,k\}$; then $$ \sum x_1^{a_1}\cdots x_k^{a_k} \equiv \frac{φ(p^s)}{\mathrm{gcd}(n,φ(p^s))}(-1)^{k-1}(k-1)! \,\,\bmod{p^s}, $$ where the summation is taken over all pairwise distinct $n$-th residues $x_1,\ldots,x_k$ modulo $p^s$ coprime with $p$.

description: The success of Freudenberger's term burnout (1974), initially used for a clinical picture of air traffic controllers, can have different interpretations. On the one hand, the context in which it was introduced is emphasised with reference to the automation of work linked to the evolution of technology (Berg-Beckhoff et al., 2017; McInerney et al., 2012; Olaude et al., 2013; Ten Hoeven et al., 2016), today representing an opportunity for clinical practice and disease management (Cilli et al., 2022). On the other hand, it can be understood in the light of predisposing personological characteristics, particular traits prior to the phenomenon, as in the case of trait anxiety, psychological health, behaviours related to abuse (Louwen et al., 2023; Merlo et al., 2013, 2020a, 2020b; Yang Hayes, 2020).

description: Background: Stable parent-infant relationships and adequate ordinary care significantly support children’s development since the very early stages of life. Principal models of intervention sustain parental skills and foster quality of parent-infant interactions since the early infancy. Standardized programs, with a well-defined focus, of short duration, based on specific methods and techniques, represent an effective tool in supporting parental effort. The present pilot study provides a description and an initial evaluation of the brief online “Con i Genitori” (CiG) Intervention, aimed to enhance parental sensitivity, self-efficacy and reduce stress in parents of typically-developed children aging 0-6 years. Methods: The intervention involved parents of typically-developed children aging 0-6 years. Four interactive group sessions, based on well-known empirically-based programs’ assumptions were delivered. Participants were asked to complete questionnaires at baseline (T0) and after CiG (T1). The assessment included the Tool to measure Parenting Self-Efficacy (TOPSE; Kendall Bloomfield, 2005), Parenting Stress Index-SF for parental distress (PSI; Abidin, 1996), Emotional Regulation Checklist for children’s emotional regulation (ERC; Shields Cicchetti et al., 1997) and Social Provision Scale for social support (SPS; Cutrona and Russell, 1987). A weekly “ad-hoc” questionnaire evaluated parental sensitivity. Moreover, a semi-structured interview measured participants’ satisfaction and acceptability with the intervention one month after its end. Results: Twelve parents completed all the sessions of the CiG (10 mothers, 2 fathers with mean age = 42.7; SD= 6.3). Children mean age was 3.9 (SD=1.9), 58.3% male. Our results showed statistically significant decrease in parental distress and increased social support after attending CiG. No statistically significant variations were detected considering parental self-efficacy. Conclusions: Our findings confirm the potential value of online-delivered interventions targeting parenthood in infancy, supporting parent-infant relationship and positive parenting from early infancy in a public health community approach. Online delivered programs constitute an important resource for addressing unmet parent mental health needs, which may be particularly widespread following the COVID-19 pandemic, representing a valuable alternative to traditional face-to-face interventions targeting parental wellbeing in infancy.

description: In cold forging processes, the workpiece is deformed under high pressure resulting in material flow at the interface between the workpiece and the die, causing large friction forces in opposing direction to the relative movement between the workpiece and the die. Friction is a very complex physical phenomenon, which affects the material flow, the forming load, the surface quality of the workpiece, and the service life of the dies. A general friction model was furtherly confirmed by experimental and numerical investigations into the upsetting of a semi-tapered specimen. The Coulomb friction law and the constant shear friction law were compared using a rigid-plastic finite element method, and considerable differences existing in simulation results can be observed between the two friction laws. Different friction models generate different friction stress distributions, and it can be found that calibration curves of the friction area ratio are more sensitive to friction. Based on compression-twist testing results, a mathematical model was established for friction as a function of normal pressure and tool/workpiece interface temperature. Another friction model considering the sliding velocity between tools and the workpiece was developed. A critical normal pressure was defined between the Coulomb friction law at low normal pressures and the constant friction model at high normal pressures, and a new law of friction involved with the effect of the ratio of real contact area under oil-lubricated condition was proposed. As reviewed by Nielsen and Bay, during the last 80 years, most important contributions on theoretical models of friction in metal forming are based on the analysis of the real contact area and different understandings of asperity flattening in tool-workpiece interfaces. In tribological systems of metal forming, the tribological loading conditions can mainly be described with four quantitive parameters including contact normal stresses, surface expansion ratio, relative sliding velocity between tool and workpiece and initial temperature. There are relatively large differences between the empirically determined friction coefficients from different tribometers, but it can be well explained when the respective tribological loads are considered. Against this background a friction model for metal forming can be created, considering the relationship between tribological loads and friction force. In this work, four tribometers were used to measure friction forces for a wide range of tribological conditions, typically occurring in cold forging. The collected data is used to create different friction models, using mathematical fitting and machine learning algorithms, to linking the tribological loads and the coefficient of friction.

description: Modern structural biology relies on NMR, X-ray crystallography and cryo-electron microscopy for gaining information on biomolecules at nanometer, sub-nanometer or atomic resolution. All these methods, however, require averaging over a vast ensemble of entities and hence knowledge on the conformational landscape of an individual particle is lost. Unfortunately, there are now strong indications that even X-ray free electron lasers will not be able to image individual molecules but will require nanocrystal samples. Here, we show that non-destructive structural biology of single particles has now become possible by means of low-energy electron holography. As an example, individual tobacco mosaic virions deposited on ultraclean freestanding graphene are imaged at one nanometer resolution revealing structural details arising from the helical arrangement of the outer protein shell of the virus. Since low-energy electron holography is a lens-less technique and since electrons with a deBroglie wavelength of approximately 1 Angstrom do not impose radiation damage to biomolecules, the method has the potential for Angstrom resolution imaging of single biomolecules.

description: We use quantum Monte Carlo and exact diagonalization calculations to study the Mott-insulator to superconductor quantum phase transition in a two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model with attractive interactions in the presence of a superlattice potential. The model introduced offers unique possibilities to study such transitions in optical lattice experiments. We show that, in regimes with moderate to strong interactions, the transition belongs to the 3D-XY universality class. We also explore the character of the lowest energy charge excitations in the insulating and superconducting phases and show that they can be fermionic or bosonic depending on the parameters chosen.

description: Background: The Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) is a widely used patient-reported outcome measure. While psychometric properties of the DASS-21 have been studied, insufficient attention has been devoted to the assessment of its clinimetric properties. This study verified the clinimetric properties of the Italian version of the DASS-21 according to Clinimetric Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (CLIPROM) criteria. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study involving 951 university students from April to September 2020. Participants were asked to fill in the DASS-21 via an online survey. Participation was voluntary. Item Response Theory (IRT) models were used to test dimensionality, scalability, and sensitivity of DASS-21. Results: IRT analyses showed that the DASS-21 total score was a multidimensional measure of psychological distress. Fit to the Rasch model was achieved after excluding five misfitting items and adjusting the sample size, resulting in a 16-item version of the DASS-21. The 16-item version entailed the clinimetric property of sensitivity but included inter-correlated items. Brief versions of the DASS-21 subscales of depression, anxiety, and stress, which did not include locally dependent items, fitted the Rasch model expectations, and had an acceptable unidimensionality and scalability, were identified. Conclusion: The 16-item version of the DASS-21 may be used as an overall indicator of dysthymia and should be supplemented with the brief versions of the depression, anxiety, and stress subscales, which were found to be valid clinimetric indices.

description: The main `bottleneck' limiting the beam power in circular machines is caused by space charge effects that produce beam instabilities. To increase maximally the beam power of a `proton driver', it is proposed to build a facility consisting solely of a 2.5-GeV injector linac (PI) and a 20-GeV pulsed superconducting linac (SCL). Such a facility could be constructed using the existing KEK accelerator infrastructure. The PI, based on the European Spallation Source (ESS) linac, would serve both as an injector to the SCL and a source of proton beams that could be used to copiously produce, e.g., neutrons and muons. Protons accelerated by the SCL would be transferred through the KEK Tristan ring in order to create neutrino, kaon and muon beams for fixed-target experiments. At a later stage, a 70-GeV proton synchrotron could be installed inside the Tristan ring. The SCL, comprising 1.3-GHz ILC-type rf cavities, could also accelerate polarized or unpolarized electron beams. After acceleration, electrons could be used to produce polarized positrons, or may traverse an XFEL undulator.

Single-cell Multi-omics analysis reveals Gene Regulatory Network at Single-cell Level during Early Stage of Direct Cardiac Reprogramming
Creators: name: Qian, Yunzhe

description: 
The high global incidence of heart diseases drives the interest in cardiomyocytes regeneration. Specifically, the direct conversion of cardiac fibroblast to induced cardiomyocytes (iCM) holds great promises in regenerative medicine. Direct reprogramming of cardiac fibroblast into induced cardiomyocytes can be achieved by forced expression of cardiac transcription factors, such as Mef2c, Gata4, and Tbx5 (a transcription factor combination referred to as MGT)1–3. To identify how the upstream chromatin landscape drives the transcriptome remodeling process during cardiac direct reprogramming, we performed a parallel single-cell assay for Transposase-Accessible Chromatin using sequencing (scATAC-seq) and single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) on early reprogramming iCMs as the known epigenetic changes begin on day 3. Many cardiac reprogramming studies have been focusing on the identification of transcriptional factors (TF) to enhance the direct reprogramming process using integrating scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq dataset4–6. However, profiling different cell modalities by computational integration method may not fully capture the true biological state7. Compared to integrated data, multi-omics data simultaneously profile multiple data types in the same cell, which deliver more accurate information on molecular process underlying a cell’s physiology7–9. My study uses the latest single-cell multi-omics data to unravel the underlying mechanism of cardiac direct reprogramming. In this study, making use of the multi-omics dataset sequenced on the same sample, we determined the matching efficiency of integrative analysis by comparing the number of DORCs between the computationally integrated and multi-omics datasets. Furthermore, with motif analysis, we identified the TFs responsible for the chromatin accessibility dynamics of DORCs during cardiac reprogramming.

We have performed spectral and photometric temporal analyses in order to investigate the quiescent state and transient behavior of this binary system. In 2006, a long mass ejection event took place from the Be star, lasting for about seven years. We also found that a large Be circumstellar disk was present during quiescence, although major X-ray activity was not observed. We made an attempt to explain this scenario by assuming the permanently presence of a tilted and warped Be circumstellar disk. The 0.3-10 keV X-ray spectrum during quiescence was well fitted with either an absorbed blackbody or absorbed power-law models. The main parameters obtained for these models were kT=1.43+/-0.17 and Gamma=0.9+/-0.4 (with N_H~2-7E+22 cm-2). The 0.3-10 keV flux of the source was ~0.8E-12 erg-1 cm-2 s-1. Pulsations were found with P_pulse=15.757(1) s (MJD 56363.115) and an rms pulse fraction of 32.1(3)%. The observed X-ray luminosity during quiescent periods may be explained by the neutron star being in supersonic propeller regimen.

Subjects: BRCA+/-; Psychological distress; Personality traits; Genetic testing; Psychological counseling; Breast cancer; Oncological clinical practice; Personalized medicine; Clinical psychology.

description: Background: Albeit the genetic testing/counseling is increasing progressively in oncological clinical practice, psychological impact of BRCA genetic testing has been an under-researched area in oncological population; few studies have examined a wide range of possible predictive individual factors for psychological adaptation after genetic testing for hereditary cancer. Aim of the study was to examine the implication of clinical psychological in BRCA genetic result post-disclosure dealing with the emotional health of patients undergoing genetic testing depending to the personal resources. Methods: Participants were composed of n = 32 female patients in range age 30 - 55 years, who have a BC diagnosis and who underwent BRCA mutation testing. Psychological battery was applied after genetic testing. Results: Our finding highlighted the psychological influence of genetic testing on wellbeing of BC patients, and more drawing clinical perspective for positive/negative disclosure regarding the predictors for psychological distress. Conclusion: Genetic testing needs to be integrated by psychological counseling to manage better the impact of result disclosure (whatever the outcome is) in order to manage better the physical and mental health of patients into efficient personalized medicine toward to the improvement of patient compliance and adherence into well-being perspective and Quality of Life maintaining. Sample size and lack of longitudinal data could be limits of the study.

description: Purpose: The prison population is considered to be vulnerable to stress caused by the physical environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychological effects of the prison’s environment on both inmates and staff. Design: We compared the psychophysiological arousal and self-report measurements of 73 participants (40 prisoners and 33 prison staff) to the prison environment through the exploration of three immersive virtual environments (the dormitory, the prison entrance, and the prison yard). Findings: There were few physiological activation differences between inmates and prison staff during the task, but significant discrepancies did arise, particularly from self-reported assessments. Compared to prison staff, prisoners demonstrated a greater decrease in finger pulse, indicating a stronger orienting response to virtual environments. While prison staff emphasized the importance of good lighting throughout the environments, prisoners focused their hatred on the furniture of the cells and on the layout and function of the prison yard. Both groups had conflicting emotions towards the virtual environments. Originality: Our study offers a realistic portrayal of the prison population's perceptions about the setting in which they are engaged in everyday life and activities. Practical implications: Hence, there are implications for both prison rehabilitation and designing prison renovations that are in line with the psychological needs of inmates and prison staff.

Adolescent Binge Ethanol Exposure Accelerates Alzheimer’s Disease-Associated Basal Forebrain Neuropathology

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: Cholinergic degeneration and neuroimmune system activation are hallmark features of many disease states, including alcohol use disorder (AUD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Heavy alcohol use is an etiological factor associated with AD, but little is known about the interaction between adolescent binge alcohol exposure and AD pathology. Preclinical studies using the adolescent intermittent ethanol (AIE) paradigm that mimics weekend binge drinking behavior find basal forebrain cholinergic neuron degeneration and increased neuroimmune activation in brain, similar to observed pathology in AD. Using the 5x Familial Alzheimer’s disease (5xFAD) mouse model of AD, we tested the hypothesis that AIE treatment would accelerate onset of AD-associated pathology. AIE accelerated the loss of basal forebrain cholinergic neurons relative to age-matched 5xFAD CONs in female, but not male subjects. This was accompanied by accelerated accumulation of amyloid beta, as well as upregulation of AD-related genes. In addition, AIE upregulated glial genes like Gfap and Iba1, as well as innate immune signaling and proinflammatory cytokine genes in the basal forebrain, relative to age-matched 5xFAD CONs. Accelerated neuropathology was observed in female, but not male mice, emphasizing sex as a risk factor for AD neuropathology. In post-mortem human basal forebrain samples of individuals with AUD and an adolescent age of drinking onset, we found AUD increased amyloid beta expression in the basal forebrain and in ChAT+ neurons of AUD individuals, as well as decreased hnRNP protein expression that was negatively correlated with loss of cholinergic cell markers. These data reveal that adolescent binge ethanol exposure accelerates AD-associated neuropathology in the female adult basal forebrain, and suggests that adolescent binge drinking may be an etiological factor contributing to AD neuropathology.

description: Abortion laws are proliferating in the United States, but little is known about their impact on abortion providers. In 2011, North Carolina instituted the Woman’s Right to Know (WRTK) Act, which mandates a 24-hour waiting period and counseling with state-prescribed information prior to abortion. We performed a qualitative study to explore the experiences of abortion providers practicing under this law.

description: This study examines the mental health (MH) disparity between immigrants and US-born citizens and explores the effects of immigration status over their life spans based on the Medical Expenditure Panel Survey from 2010 to 2019. I employ three indicators of MH – PHQ-2 (a depression screening), K6 (a screening for any psychological disorder), and MCS (a statistical measurement of MH-related quality of life) to estimate how MH varies with immigration status at different ages. Using the correlated random effects model, I found that younger immigrants are less likely to have depression and psychological disorders and have higher MH-related quality of life than US-born civilians. However, for the elderly (age > 60), immigrants are predicted to have worse MH in the form of a higher likelihood of having depression and any psychological disorder and lower MH-related quality of life than nonimmigrants. These findings can inform policymakers to pay more attention to aging immigrants when improving mental health outcomes.

description: We study the low-energy corrections to the holographic entanglement entropy (HEE) in the boundary CFT by perturbing the bulk geometry up to second order excitations. Focusing on the case that the boundary subsystem is a strip, we show that the area of the bulk minimal surface can be expanded in terms of the conserved charges, such as mass, angular momentum and electric charge of the AdS black brane. We also calculate the variation of the energy in the subsystem and verify the validity of the first law-like relation of thermodynamics at second order. Moreover, the HEE is naturally bounded at second order perturbations if the cosmic censorship conjecture for the dual black hole still holds.
