Comparative Analysis of Maternal Gene Expression Patterns Unravels Evolutionary Signatures Across Reproductive Modes.

Maternal genes have a pivotal role in regulating metazoan early development. As such their functions have been extensively studied since the dawn of developmental biology. The temporal and spatial dynamics of their transcripts have been thoroughly described in model organisms and their functions have been undergoing heavy investigations.

Transcriptomic changes behind Sparus aurata hepatic response to different aquaculture challenges: An RNA-seq study and multiomics integration.

Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) is an important species in Mediterranean aquaculture. Rapid intensification of its production and sub-optimal husbandry practices can cause stress, impairing overall fish performance and raising issues related to sustainability, animal welfare, and food safety. The advent of next-generation sequencing technologies has greatly revolutionized the study of fish stress biology, allowing a deeper understanding of the molecular stress responses.

Assessing client self-narrative change in emotion-focused therapy of depression: an intensive single case analysis.

Personality researchers use the term self-narrative to refer to the development of an overall life story that places life events in a temporal sequence and organizes them in accordance to overarching themes. In turn, it is often the case that clients seek out psychotherapy when they can no longer make sense of their life experiences, as a coherent story. Angus and Greenberg (L.

Therapist empathy and client anxiety reduction in motivational interviewing: "She carries with me, the experience".

In this article, we examine the use of motivational interviewing (MI) to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) by means of case illustration that focuses on four categories drawn from the client's experience of the key ingredients in MI therapy. The case illustration, drawn from the York study on combining MI and cognitive behavior therapy in the treatment of GAD (uses the client's pre- and post-therapy narrative interviews) to arrive at categories representative of the client's experience of MI therapy. The results of the qualitative analysis highlight the key contributions to positive client outcomes and readiness for change in brief MI therapy for GAD.

Empathic relational bonds and personal agency in psychotherapy: Implications for psychotherapy supervision, practice, and research.

Although psychotherapy researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying common factors that contribute to effective therapeutic practices, across psycho-diagnostic categories and treatment approaches, relatively little attention to date has been focused on the impact of these research findings for psychotherapy supervision and training programs. To address this gap, in this article we describe key components of an integrative psychotherapy supervision and training program that focuses on the development of a strong therapeutic alliance as an empirically supported, common principle of change in psychotherapy. We review empirical research evidence that addresses the contributions of therapist empathic engagement for the development of secure, relational bonds, heightened client agency, and the development of strong therapeutic alliances, and we discuss the implications of these findings for therapy practice and supervision training.

[Determination and the trial of a polyvalent anatoxin against clostridiosis of the sheep].

Description of the preparation and composition of a new type of polyvalent vaccine against bradsot, infectious enterotoxemia and malignant edema (necrotic hepatitis) of sheep as well as dysentery of lambs. This vaccine is a formolized polyanatoxin obtained after centrifugation, purification and concentration of the toxins followed by formolization and adsorption on aluminum hydroxyde. The serum antibody titers are much higher than after utilizing the usual vaccines and the period of immunity in the sheep is considerably extended.
