A qualitative and quantitative study of radical pro-environmental social change as anticipated future loss and threat: A gender perspective.

Degrowth-oriented climate change mitigation policies offer inspiring possibilities for future societies. However, they require radical change to individual and collective behaviours; and research has not yet fully addressed how people may anticipate future loss and threat when confronted with such policies. This study proposes a twofold examination of anticipated reactions to pro-environmental degrowth-oriented minority influence.

Comparison of Ultrasound Characteristics of Peripapillary Hyperreflective Ovoid Mass-Like Structures (PHOMS) and Optic Disc Drusen in Children.

Background: In children, pseudopapilledema is frequently caused by peripapillary hyperreflective ovoid mass-like structures (PHOMS) or optic disc drusen (ODD). While enhanced depth imaging (EDI) OCT can identify both, lack of cooperation, especially from younger children due to the duration of testing, often necessitates the use of B-scan ultrasound (BSUS). This study investigated whether PHOMS are hyperreflective on BSUS and if BSUS can differentiate PHOMS from ODD.

A national survey of the gastrointestinal nematode control practices used by goat producers in the United States.

Gastrointestinal nematode (GIN) parasites are a major constraint to goat production. GIN parasite control has relied primarily on the use of anthelmintic drugs. A major issue in goat operations globally, including in the United States (U.

Gendered attitudes towards pro-environmental change: The role of hegemonic masculinity endorsement, dominance and threat.

One of the most robust findings in environmental psychology is that men report lower pro-environmentalism than women. Whilst this difference is often attributed to personality or identity processes, there seems to be a lack of empirical research on potential ideological influences. We propose-and provide evidence through two correlational studies-that radical pro-environmentalism is often akin to propositions of change that challenge tenets of patriarchal ideology such as dominance orientations.

Genotype-by-environment interactions shape ubiquitin-proteasome system activity.

In genotype-by-environment interactions (GxE), the effect of a genetic variant on a trait depends on the environment. GxE influences numerous organismal traits across eukaryotic life. However, we have a limited understanding of how GxE shapes the molecular processes that give rise to organismal traits.
