The Influence of Sperm Activation Methods and Oocyte Collection on the Reproductive Effects of Northern Pike ().

This study compared the quality of northern pike eggs collected using traditional methods (hand stripping) and pneumatic methods (air stripping). The effects of different activation solutions (0.4% NaCl, 0.

Bioactive Compounds, Antioxidant Properties, and Antimicrobial Profiling of a Range of West Algerian Honeys: In Vitro Comparative Screening Prior to Therapeutic Purpose.

Honey is a complex natural nutrient with well-established therapeutic properties recognized in traditional medicine. The purpose of the current work was to compare, in vitro, the bioactive compounds, antioxidants, and antimicrobial properties of 37 honey samples collected from the western region of Algeria and to identify the best sample for potential therapeutic purposes. Estimation of bioactive compounds was carried out by determining the total phenolic and flavonoid contents.

Search for Fractionally Charged Particles with CUORE.

The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events (CUORE) is a detector array comprised by 988 5  cm×5  cm×5  cm TeO_{2} crystals held below 20 mK, primarily searching for neutrinoless double-beta decay in ^{130}Te. Unprecedented in size among cryogenic calorimetric experiments, CUORE provides a promising setting for the study of exotic throughgoing particles. Using the first tonne year of CUORE's exposure, we perform a search for hypothesized fractionally charged particles (FCPs), which are well-motivated by various standard model extensions and would have suppressed interactions with matter.

Mattering Matters: Examining the Moderating Role of Mattering in Cyberbullying Victimization-Outcome Relationships Among College Students.

Recognized as a public health threat, cyberbullying victimization (CV), or bullying experienced through digital technologies, is mostly studied among adolescents, but evidence among college students suggests that it is prevalent and linked with negative outcomes. One protective factor that might reduce the impact of CV is mattering, which involves feeling significant and valued by others. In this study, we explored five hypotheses, including examining the moderating role of mattering in four CV-outcome relationships (self-esteem, life satisfaction, depression, and academic performance).
