Do Boys Empathize Less than Girls? Exploring the Links Among Empathy, Gender and Sexist Attitudes in Adolescents.

(1) Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) remains a pervasive issue, particularly among adolescents. Its prevalence is still high despite intervention efforts, especially for younger generations. Empathy and sexism are factors linked with IPV that have shown gender differences.

Inference of the genetic basis of fruit texture in highbush blueberries using genome-wide association analyses.

The global production and consumption of blueberry ( spp.), a specialty crop known for its abundant bioactive and antioxidant compounds, has more than doubled over the last decade. To hold this momentum, plant breeders have begun to use quantitative genetics and molecular breeding to guide their decisions and select new cultivars that are improved for fruit quality.

Antibiotic susceptibility and virulence factors of bacterial species among cancer patients.

Antibiotic resistance is one of the most significant challenges of the 20-s century, and the misuse of antibiotics is a driver of antimicrobial resistance. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of multidrug resistance, and detection of its produce virulence factors, including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESβLs), biofilm, and siderophores produced by bacterial species isolated from cancer patients. One hundred and seventy-five Gram-negative bacterial isolates were isolated from different samples collected from cancer patients admitted to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), Cairo, Egypt, and processed by standard microbiological methods.
