The perception and passage of time during public speaking
Acta Psychol (Amst). 2024 Apr 22;246:104268. doi: 10.1016/j.actpsy.2024.104268. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSeveral studies have shown that anxious individuals experience a slower passage of time under threat conditioning. Anxiety-evoking situations have also been proposed to elevate arousal levels, which, in turn, alter one's time percept. However, the effect of social stressors on time perception remains significantly neglected. The current research aimed to investigate the impact of anxiety levels on time estimation and passage of time judgments during public speaking in healthy adults. Participants were recruited fro...

Anion Architecture Controls Structure and Electroresponsivity of Anhalogenous Ionic Liquids in a Sustainable Fluid
J Phys Chem B. 2024 Apr 19. doi: 10.1021/acs.jpcb.3c08189. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree nonhalogenated ionic liquids (ILs) dissolved in 2-ethylhexyl laurate (2-EHL), a biodegradable oil, are investigated in terms of their bulk and electro-interfacial nanoscale structures using small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) and neutron reflectivity (NR). The ILs share the same trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium ([P6,6,6,14]+) cation paired with different anions, bis(mandelato)borate ([BMB]-), bis(oxalato)borate ([BOB]-), and bis(salicylato)borate ([BScB]-). SANS shows a high aspect ratio tubular self-assembly structure character...

Implications of Culturally Informed Palliative Care in a Chinese American Patient
1. Use a case example to showcase how culturally informed care can improve family and patient support, minimize conflict and misunderstanding between family and primary team.2. Providing culturally competent PC to Chinese diaspora patients can include respecting that death may be a taboo subject or word, careful attention to cultural beliefs around nutrition at end-of-life, and considerations of harmony and collectivism in the family unit in decision-making.

Sensors, Vol. 24, Pages 2618: Digital Twin Meets Knowledge Graph for Intelligent Manufacturing Processes
Papavassiliou
In the highly competitive field of material manufacturing, stakeholders strive for the increased quality of the end products, reduced cost of operation, and the timely completion of their business processes. Digital twin (DT) technologies are considered major enablers that can be deployed to assist the development and effective provision of manufacturing processes. Additionally, knowledge graphs (KG) have emerged as efficient tools in the industrial domain and are able to efficiently represent data from various disciplines in a structured manner while also supporting advanced analytics. This paper propose...

IJERPH, Vol. 21, Pages 507: Exploring Allied Health Models of Care for Children with Developmental Health Concerns, Delays, and Disabilities in Rural and Remote Areas: A Systematic Scoping Review
Conclusions: Multiple models of care are currently in operation for children with developmental needs in rural and remote areas and appear to improve the quality of care. Due to complexities within, and limitations of, the evidence base, it is unclear if one model of care is superior to another. This review provides a basis for further research to explore why some models may be more effective than others. (Source: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health)

Novelty preference assessed by eye tracking: A sensitive measure of impaired recognition memory in epilepsy
CONCLUSIONS: Memory for the "old" items decayed more rapidly in overall, focal-onset, and generalized-onset epilepsy groups. The VPCT detected deficits while standard memory measures were largely intact, suggesting that the VPCT may be a more sensitive measure of temporal lobe memory function than standard neuropsychological batteries.PMID:38636142 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2024.109749 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Novel clades of tick-borne pathogenic nairoviruses in Europe
Infect Genet Evol. 2024 Apr 16;121:105593. doi: 10.1016/j.meegid.2024.105593. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMembers of the Orthonairovirus genus (family Nairoviridae) include many tick-borne viruses of significant human and animal health impact, with several recently-documented pathogenic viruses lacking sufficient epidemiological information. We screened 215 adult ticks of seven species collected in Bulgaria, Georgia, Latvia and Poland for orthonairoviruses, followed by nanopore sequencing (NS) for genome characterization. Initial generic amplification revealed Sulina virus (SULV, Orthonairovirus sulinaense), for which an...

Healthy aging among centenarians and near-centenarians: Findings from the Georgia Centenarian Study
Living a long, satisfactory, and healthy life is a goal most, if not all, adults strive to attain. Demographic trends in all developed countries show that average life spans gradually get longer, and more adults live longer past the century mark [1]. As people live longer, more scientific studies are being conducted to unmask the underlying mechanisms that can contribute to living longer and well --- that is, healthy aging [2].

Genetic mapping reveals the complex genetic architecture controlling slow canopy wilting in soybean
Theor Appl Genet. 2024 Apr 17;137(5):107. doi: 10.1007/s00122-024-04609-w.ABSTRACTIn soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.], drought stress is the leading cause of yield loss from abiotic stress in rain-fed US growing areas. Only 10% of the US soybean production is irrigated; therefore, plants must possess physiological mechanisms to tolerate drought stress. Slow canopy wilting is a physiological trait that is observed in a few exotic plant introductions (PIs) and may lead to yield improvement under drought stress. Canopy wilting of 130 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from Hutcheson × PI 471938 grown under drought stres...
