Predictors of Gambling Severity Among Female Gamblers: Cross-Country Study with Spanish and Italian Clinical Population.

A large body of research has evidenced different risk factors associated with the severity of gambling. However, most of the research has been conducted with a male population, and consequently it has been inferred that the female population presents the same experiences and characteristics. Research on female gamblers is limited, with the result that their gambling-related problems are not effectively addressed.

The use of the differential outcomes procedure for the recognition of facial expressions of complex emotions and its electrophysiological correlates.

The differential outcomes procedure (DOP) is an easily applicable method for enhancing discriminative learning and recognition memory. Its effectiveness in improving the recognition of facial expressions of emotion has been recently explored, with mixed success. This study aims to explore whether the expectancies generated via the DOP are reflected as differences in event-related potentials (ERPs) between participants in differential (DOP) or non-differential conditions (NOP) in a facial expression of complex emotion label task.

The differential outcomes procedure for improving the recognition of dynamic facial expressions of emotion in people with autism spectrum disorders and first-degree relatives.

Previous research highlights impairments in the recognition of facial expression of emotion in individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Relatives of people with ASD may exhibit similar, albeit subtler, impairments, referred to as the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP). Recently, the Differential outcomes procedure (DOP) has been shown to enhance this ability in young adults using dynamic stimuli, with fewer intensity levels required to identify fear and surprise.

Precise Lineage Tracking Using Molecular Barcodes Demonstrates Fitness Trade-offs for Ivermectin Resistance in Nematodes.

A fundamental tenet of evolutionary genetics is that the direction and strength of selection on individual loci varies with the environment. Barcoded evolutionary lineage tracking is a powerful approach for high-throughput measurement of selection within experimental evolution that to date has largely been restricted to studies within microbial systems, largely because the random integration of barcodes within animals is limited by physical and molecular protection of the germline. Here, we use the recently developed TARDIS barcoding system in (Stevenson et al.
