description: Background: Cognitive Fusion (CF) limits behavior by perceiving thoughts as real events. It is a crucial process in the evaluation and intervention of contextual therapies. Its measurement is carried out through the Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ), which, despite its psychometric analysis in several countries, the studies on its measurement invariance by gender are cases. This lack of information prevents a full understanding of this phenomenon and its comparison by genre. Objective: To evaluate the CFQ measure equivalence across gender, its validity of association with other variables, and its internal consistency using a sample of Ecuadorian university students. Method: Confirmatory factor analyses were designed with the restrictions corresponding to each level of measurement equivalence and the differences between the adjustment indices were evaluated. The validity of association with variables was computed by means of latent relationships and a factorial model was built to evaluate the equivalence of measurement by gender of these correlations. Finally, the total omega for each gender was calculated. Participants: 356 university students (59.1% women), between 18 and 58 years of age (mean= 25.52; sd= 7.51); 43.9% of these students studied in public institutions (43.9%), 27.5% studied in technical and/or technological institutions and 28.6% were enrolled in private institutions. Results: The CFQ shows factorial validity through a unidimensional structure. The equivalence of the measure across gender is strong. Additionally, the CFQ shows validity and coherence with regards to convergence and divergence, and the questionnaire items have high internal consistency. Conclusion: This study significantly expands the knowledge about the psychometric properties of the CFQ in the university population of Ecuador. Women show a greater tendency to CF in the comparison between genders. These findings are valuable for future research to better understand the influence of gender on this phenomenon.

description: Discovering causal relationships from observational data is a crucial problem and it has applications in many research areas. The PC algorithm is the state-of-the-art constraint based method for causal discovery. However, runtime of the PC algorithm, in the worst-case, is exponential to the number of nodes (variables), and thus it is inefficient when being applied to high dimensional data, e.g. gene expression datasets. On another note, the advancement of computer hardware in the last decade has resulted in the widespread availability of multi-core personal computers. There is a significant motivation for designing a parallelised PC algorithm that is suitable for personal computers and does not require end users' parallel computing knowledge beyond their competency in using the PC algorithm. In this paper, we develop parallel-PC, a fast and memory efficient PC algorithm using the parallel computing technique. We apply our method to a range of synthetic and real-world high dimensional datasets. Experimental results on a dataset from the DREAM 5 challenge show that the original PC algorithm could not produce any results after running more than 24 hours; meanwhile, our parallel-PC algorithm managed to finish within around 12 hours with a 4-core CPU computer, and less than 6 hours with a 8-core CPU computer. Furthermore, we integrate parallel-PC into a causal inference method for inferring miRNA-mRNA regulatory relationships. The experimental results show that parallel-PC helps improve both the efficiency and accuracy of the causal inference algorithm.

description: One of the most fundamental features of a black hole in general relativity is its event horizon: a boundary from which nothing can escape. There has been a recent surge of interest in the nature of these event horizons and their local neighbourhoods. In an attempt to resolve black hole information paradox(es), and more generally, to better understand the path towards quantum gravity, "firewalls" have been proposed as an alternative to black hole event horizons. In this paper, we explore the phenomenological implications of black holes possessing a surface or "firewall", and predict a potentially detectable signature of these firewalls in the form of a high energy astrophysical neutrino flux. We compute the spectrum of this neutrino flux in different models and show that it is a possible candidate for the source of the PeV neutrinos recently detected by IceCube. This opens up a new area of research, bridging the non-perturbative physics of quantum gravity with the observational black hole and high energy astrophysics.

description: We investigate the break-up of Newtonian/viscoelastic droplets in a viscoelastic/Newtonian matrix under the hydrodynamic conditions of a confined shear flow. Our numerical approach is based on a combination of Lattice-Boltzmann models (LBM) and Finite Difference (FD) schemes. LBM are used to model two immiscible fluids with variable viscosity ratio (i.e. the ratio of the droplet to matrix viscosity); FD schemes are used to model viscoelasticity, and the kinetics of the polymers is introduced using constitutive equations for viscoelastic fluids with finitely extensible non-linear elastic dumbbells with Peterlin's closure (FENE-P). We study both strongly and weakly confined cases to highlight the role of matrix and droplet viscoelasticity in changing the droplet dynamics after the startup of a shear flow. Simulations provide easy access to quantities such as droplet deformation and orientation and will be used to quantitatively predict the critical Capillary number at which the droplet breaks, the latter being strongly correlated to the formation of multiple neckings at break-up. This study complements our previous investigation on the role of droplet viscoelasticity (A. Gupta \& M. Sbragaglia, {\it Phys. Rev. E} {\bf 90}, 023305 (2014)), and is here further extended to the case of matrix viscoelasticity.

description: Behavior disorders (BDs) are common and, without treatment, can have long-term impacts on child and family health. Behavioral Parent Training (BPT) is the standard of care intervention for early-onset BDs; however, structural socioeconomic barriers hinder treatment outcomes for low-income families. Given digital technologies have been proposed as a mechanism to improve engagement in BPT, this study with 34 low-income families examined parents’ use and perceptions of adjunctive mobile app components in one technology-enhanced BPT program (TE-HNC), as well as its impact on treatment efficiency and maintenance of treatment gains. Use of the TE-HNC mobile app components significantly and differentially predicted treatment efficiency, with parents using the app more frequently completing treatment in fewer weeks (p=.001). Significant differences were not observed in mobile app use during and after treatment or between parents reporting maintained and decreased skill use at follow-up. Implications for the design of technology-enhanced BPT programs are discussed.

description: Parental comparison and parenthood testing play crucial roles in legal and medical settings. The accuracy and reliability of these tests heavily depend on the gene analysis algorithms utilized. Yet, analyzing the quality of inherited data poses challenges due to undesirable characteristics.To address this issue, we propose employing machine learning-based algorithms, including clustering (Correlation-based) and Classification (Modified Naive Bayesian), to distinguish these characteristics from the parent-child gene array. This approach enables us to identify, validate, and select tools and techniques for scrutinizing relevant sequences, resulting in precise and dependable outcomes.In this study, we introduce an IoT-based intelligence tool for parental comparison, integrating a secure gene analysis algorithm. The model uses multiple sensors and devices to gather genetic data, which is then securely processed and analyzed using contemporary algorithms. Advanced techniques like encryption and decryption ensure the privacy and confidentiality of the genetic information.Our experimental findings demonstrate that the proposed model is trustworthy, secure, and provides accurate results. It holds potential for various legal and medical applications where the security and reliability of genetic data are paramount.
GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WEIGHT? TESTING WEIGHTING NECESSITY METRICS FOR COMPLEX SURVEY DATA

description: I studied the performance of four statistical tests designed to assess the necessity of weighting in the analysis of survey data. First, I investigated the finite sample properties of diagnostic tests using Monte Carlo simulations, including a case in which weights are ignorable and a case where weights are designed to be necessary. I tested the performance of four necessity metrics across both scenarios. Second, I took a sample of studies using data and weights from Add Health. I replicated models proposed in each study and applied weighting necessity diagnostic tests. Results from the simulation study found that the DuMouchel-Duncan test exhibited the strongest performance most consistently. Demonstrating the use of weight necessity tests on replicated models revealed that Difference in Coefficient Tests returned significant test statistics most often. These results offer insight into the selection of appropriate weight necessity tests, contributing to more accurate analysis in complex survey settings.

description: Background: Alexithymia study has been severely affected by the absence of psychometrically validated tests. Two tests stand out against all others: the Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 (TAS-20) and the Perth Alexithymia Questionnaire (PAQ). The aim of this study was to adapt the PAQ questionnaire to a Spanish sample. Method: For that purpose, it was translated and revised to make both version match in meaning trough a backward translation procedure. The target construct was delimited through a battery of six tests measuring related to alexithymia constructs. The battery was administered to n = 762 (47.2% males), with a retest applied 30 days after with n = 117 subjects. Results: The confirmatory factor analyses showcased a better adjustment in the model that included affective valence as a factor. The exploratory analysis delivered a trifactorial structure. The questionnaire obtained an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .955). Correlations with the related constructs confirmed all the hypotheses. Conclusions: Our results confirm our hypothesis: PAQ is a valid and reliable assessment tool for alexithymia. The adapted version performed well contrasted with questionnaires assessing emotional expression, regulation and appraisal as well as psychological distress and even the TAS-20.

description: This paper studies the relations among system parameters, uniqueness, and stability of equilibria, for kinetic systems given in the form of polynomial ODEs. Such models are commonly used to describe the dynamics of nonnegative systems, with a wide range of application fields such as chemistry, systems biology, process modeling or even transportation systems. Using a flux-based description of kinetic models, a canonical representation of the set of all possible feasible equilibria is developed. The characterization is made in terms of strictly stable compartmental matrices to define the so-called family of solutions. Feasibility is imposed by a set of constraints, which are linear on a log-transformed space of complexes, and relate to the kernel of a matrix, the columns of which span the stoichiometric subspace. One particularly interesting representation of these constraints can be expressed in terms of a class of monotonous decreasing functions. This allows connections to be established with classical results in CRNT that relate to the existence and uniqueness of equilibria along positive stoichiometric compatibility classes. In particular, monotonicity can be employed to identify regions in the set of possible reaction rate coefficients leading to complex balancing, and to conclude uniqueness of equilibria for a class of positive deficiency networks. The latter result might support constructing an alternative proof of the well-known deficiency one theorem. The developed notions and results are illustrated through examples.

description: The presence of focus-focus singularities in semi-toric integrables Hamiltonian systems is one of the reasons why there cannot exist global Action-Angle coordinates on such systems. At focus-focus critical points, the Liouville-Arnold-Mineur theorem does not apply. In particular, the affine structure of the image of the moment map around has non-trivial monodromy. In this article, we establish that the singular behaviour and the multi-valuedness of the Action integrals is given by a complex logarithm. This extends a previous result by Vu Ngoc to any dimension. We also calculate the monodromy matrix for these systems.

description: Objective: [U25] Germany is a low-threshold, anonymous and free-of-charge online suicide prevention service for people up to 25 years of age. Its special feature is that counseling is provided by trained and continuously supervised voluntary peers. This study addresses the following research questions: (1) Which life adversities are reported by the clients of [U25]? (2) Are the life adversities intercorrelated? (3) According to patients, do life adversities change during the counseling process? (4) What are the associations between life adversities and outcome measures (e.g., reduction in suicidality or improvement in general situation)? Method: Data was collected through an online survey (n = 318). To measure psychological burden, the presence of 16 life adversities (e.g., problems in relationships) was assessed retrospectively. As the dependent variable, the change in suicidality was measured by means of three newly created items. In addition, a short form of the Bochum Change Questionnaire 2000 (BCQ 2000) was used to assess the patients’ subjectively perceived change due to counseling. Results: Regarding life adversities, the clients were heavily burdened. Throughout the course of counseling, many clients’ situations improved, at least concerning several adversities. Some life adversities significantly correlate with each other, but the correlation is mostly small to moderate. Suicidality is positively correlated with self-harming behaviors and loss of someone close to the advice seekers. Conclusions: Possible starting points for improving online counseling for suicidal adolescents and young adults are discussed.

description: The goals of this trial are to determine the efficacy and safety of two treatments for women experiencing fecal incontinence. First, we aim to compare the use of loperamide to placebo and second, to compare the use of anal sphincter exercises with biofeedback to usual care. The primary outcome is the change from baseline in the St. Mark's (Vaizey) Score 24 weeks after treatment initiation. As a Pelvic Floor Disorders Network (PFDN) trial, subjects are enrolling from eight PFDN clinical centers across the United States. A centralized data coordinating center supervises data collection and analysis. These two first-line treatments for fecal incontinence are being investigated simultaneously using a two-by-two randomized factorial design: a medication intervention (loperamide versus placebo) and a pelvic floor strength and sensory training intervention (anal sphincter exercises with manometry-assisted biofeedback versus usual care using an educational pamphlet). Interventionists providing the anal sphincter exercise training with biofeedback have received standardized training and assessment. Symptom severity, diary, standardized anorectal manometry and health-related quality of life outcomes are assessed using validated instruments administered by researchers masked to randomized interventions. Cost effectiveness analyses will be performed using prospectively collected data on care costs and resource utilization. This article describes the rationale and design of this randomized trial, focusing on specific research concepts of interest to researchers in the field of female pelvic floor disorders and all other providers who care for patients with fecal incontinence.

description: Obesity is a major public health problem for which early preventive interventions are needed. Large numbers of young children are enrolled in some form of child care program, making these facilities influential environments in children’s development. Family child care homes (FCCH) are a specific type of child care in which children are cared for within the provider’s own residence. FCCHs serve approximately 1.5 million children in the U.S.; however, research to date has overlooked FCCH providers and their potential to positively influence children’s health-related behaviors.

description: Objective: Despite the well documented negative outcomes related to traumatic events, people who experience traumatic events may manage the consequences in an adaptive way. This study aims to understand whether nature relatedness perception and the perceived potential of restorativeness related to one’s house may explain Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) in the context of a pandemic. Methods: 308 adults (Mage = 35.31; SD= 13.91; 22.7% males) were recruited through an online survey administered during the national lockdown. We administrated measures of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), PTG, perceived restorativeness, and nature relatedness. The study examines how and which dimension of perceived restorativeness and nature relatedness influences dimensions of PTG in a generalized post-traumatic stress disorder population. Results: Controlling for age and gender, we found that different facets of PTG were differently predicted by PTSD, Nature relatedness, and perceived restorativeness. PTSD significantly predicted all dimensions of PTG. In particular, there would be a positive significative correlation between NRS (Nature Relatedness Scale) scores and the specific dimension "being away" of the PRS (Perceived Restorativeness Scale), which would predict the scores of two subcategories of the PTGI (Posttraumatic Growth Inventory). These two variables, "being away" and NRS, appear to be good predictors for assessing posttraumatic growth in specific dimensions of the PTGI. Conclusions: Perceived connection to nature as well as the sensation that one’s house is a place where one can escape from daily routine significantly predicted spiritual change and awareness of new possibilities in one’s life. Finally, fascination for the place where the individual lived significantly predicted spiritual change.

description: Medication nonadherence is a significant health care issue requiring regular behavioral treatment. Lack of sufficient health care resources and patient/family time commitment for weekly treatment are primary barriers to receiving appropriate self-management support. We describe the methodology of the Telehealth Enhancement of Adherence to Medication (TEAM) trial for medication nonadherence in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). For this trial, participants 11–18 years of age will be recruited from seven pediatric hospitals and will complete an initial 4-week run in to assess adherence to a daily medication. Those who take less than 90% of their prescribed medication will be randomized. A total of 194 patients with IBD will be randomized to either a telehealth behavioral treatment (TBT) arm or education only (EO) arm. All treatment will be delivered via telehealth video conferencing. Patients will be assessed at baseline, post-treatment, 3-, 6-, and 12-months. We anticipate that participants in the TBT arm will demonstrate a statistically significant improvement at post-treatment and 3-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up compared to participants in the EO arm for both medication adherence and secondary outcomes (i.e., disease severity, patient quality of life, and health care utilization). If efficacious, the TEAM intervention could be disseminated broadly and reduce health care access barriers so that patients could receive much needed self-management intervention.

description: In the context of Italian aging population, clinical psychology can play a crucial role in enabling older adults to cope with the multiple challenges associated with the aging process and disease-related issues. This manifesto was written by the 'Clinical Psychology of Aging' working group, which is part of the Italian Association of Psychology (AIP) consisting of academic experts in this field who collaborated to elaborate the contents highlighting the most relevant dimensions of the clinical psychology of aging. Specifically, the aging process was addressed from multiple points of view (i.e., theoretical perspectives, multidimensional assessment, interventions), and the role of the clinical psychologists in the National Health System along with training issues were discussed in the attempt to specify the unique contribution of the clinical psychology in aging.

description: Recently, AMS-02 reported their observed results of cosmic rays(CRs). In addition to the AMS-02 data, we add HESS data to estimate the spectra of CR electrons and the diffuse gamma rays above TeV. In the conventional diffusion model, a global analysis is performed on the spectral features of CR electrons and the diffuse gamma rays by GALRPOP package. The results show that the spectrum structure of the primary component of CR electrons can not be fully reproduced by a simple power law and the relevant break is around hundred GeV. At 99\% C.L., the injection indices above the break decrease from 2.54 to 2.35, but the ones below the break are only in the range 2.746 - 2.751. The spectrum of CR electrons does not need to add TeV cutoff to match the features of HESS data too. Based on the difference between the fluxes of CR electrons and the primary component of them, the predicted excess of CR positrons is consistent with the interpretations as pulsar or dark matter. In the analysis of the Galactic diffuse gamma rays with the indirect constraint of AMS-02 and HESS data, it is found that the fluxes of Galactic diffuse gamma rays are consistent with GeV data of Fermi-LAT in the high latitude regions. The results indicate that the inverse Compton scattering(IC) is the dominant component in the range of the hundred GeV to tens of TeV respectively from the high latitude regions to the low ones, and in the all regions of Galaxy the flux of diffuse gamma rays is less than CR electrons at the energy scale of 20 TeV.

Fusarium graminearum
Plasmodesmata

description: Fusarium graminearum is a serious fungal pathogen of small grain cereals and the causal agent of Fusarium Head Blight/Head Scab disease. Infection occurs at anthesis and during grain development contaminates the grain with various trichothecene mycotoxins. Of these, deoxynivalenol (DON) is particularly harmful to both livestock and humans, designating grain unsuitable for ingestion. TRI5 encodes an enzyme that catalyses the biosynthesis of DON and disruption of this gene eliminates trichothecene synthesis. The single gene deletion mutant, ΔTri5, does not produce DON and is unable to colonise beyond the rachis node of inoculated wheat spikelets. However, the role of DON as a virulence factor is specific to the wheat floral interaction. Prior to this study, a cellular restructuring role for DON had not been considered. Through microscopic analysis, we report that in the absence of DON, F. graminearum is inhibited in its ability to traverse plasmodesmata (PD). PD have evolved defence mechanisms against fungal, bacterial and viral pathogens which includes modifying the surrounding cell wall. This study poses new hypotheses surrounding the working disease model for F. graminearum, creating new questions encompassing the role of the cell wall structure in disease resistance and the role(s) PD have in modifying host-fungal pathogen interaction outcomes.

description: To use quantum systems for technological applications we first need to preserve their coherence for macroscopic timescales, even at finite temperature. Quantum error correction has made it possible to actively correct errors that affect a quantum memory. An attractive scenario is the construction of passive storage of quantum information with minimal active support. Indeed, passive protection is the basis of robust and scalable classical technology, physically realized in the form of the transistor and the ferromagnetic hard disk. The discovery of an analogous quantum system is a challenging open problem, plagued with a variety of no-go theorems. Several approaches have been devised to overcome these theorems by taking advantage of their loopholes. Here we review the state-of-the-art developments in this field in an informative and pedagogical way. We give the main principles of self-correcting quantum memories and we analyze several milestone examples from the literature of two-, three- and higher-dimensional quantum memories.
