Efficacy of the reGENER@r Program on Socio-Emotional Skills and Sexist Beliefs in Perpetrators of Gender-Based Violence: A Pilot Study in Spain.

Background: Gender-based violence (GBV) is one of the most pronounced expressions of the unequal power relations between women and men. As a tool for action against this phenomenon, psychological intervention programs for perpetrators of GVB are offered. This is how reGENER@r was born; it is a two-month program based on psychoeducational and cognitive-behavioral strategies that is part of the alternative measures to GBV-related prison sentences.

Neuronal cell type specific roles for Nprl2 in neurodevelopmental disorder-relevant behaviors.

Loss of function in the subunits of the GTPase-activating protein (GAP) activity toward Rags-1 (GATOR1) complex, an amino-acid sensitive negative regulator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), is implicated in both genetic familial epilepsies and NDDs (Baldassari et al., 2018). Previous studies have found seizure phenotypes and increased activity resulting from conditional deletion of GATOR1 function from forebrain excitatory neurons (Yuskaitis et al.

Systematic comparison of quantity and quality of RNA recovered with commercial FFPE tissue extraction kits.

Background: FFPE tissue samples are commonly used in biomedical research and are a valuable source for next-generation sequencing in oncology, however, extracting RNA from these samples can be difficult the quantity and quality achieved can impact the downstream analysis. This study compared the effectiveness of seven different commercially available RNA extraction kits specifically designed for use with FFPE samples in terms of the quantity and quality of RNA recovered.

Methods: This study used 9 samples of FFPE tissue from three different types of tissue (Tonsil, Appendix and lymph node of B-cell lymphoma) to evaluate RNA extraction methods.

First report of warble fly infestation in markhor, .

In December 2023, 35 third-instar larvae were collected from subcutaneous granulomatous cysts in a free-ranging markhor () hunted in the Dashtijum region of the Khazratishoh mountain range, Tajikistan. The larvae were identified as those of (Diptera: Oestridae: Hypodermatinae). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of an oestrid fly infestation in this host species.

Evaluation of energy efficiency actions in Mexican aqueducts with an approach on their performance over time. Case study: Northwest Mexico aqueduct.

Transporting bulk water from cities where it is scarce requires significant amounts of energy. It is estimated that 7 % of the world's energy production is consumed by pumping systems. Most energy efficiency actions are not applicable to systems of bulk water distribution.
