Protein glycosylation has been considered as a fundamental phenomenon shared by all domains of life. In , glycosylation of flagellins A and B with pseudaminic acid have been rigorously confirmed and shown to be essential for flagella assembly and bacterial colonization. In addition to flagellins, several other proteins including RecA, AlpA/B, and BabA/B in have also been reported to be glycosylated and to be dependent on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthetic pathway.

Recently, researchers have used the Social Identity Approach to gain insight into these challenges, offering a psychological framework for understanding relations within and between response organisations. This study builds upon previous work by engaging responders from the emergency services in six discussion-based exercises.

The social identity approach to leadership describes how a group's identity shapes the ways in which people can lead effectively.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) relate to protective factors and maladaptive coping behaviors in undergraduate students at Dalhousie University by using an anonymous online survey.* -
  • Findings revealed that 42.5% of students reported three or more ACEs, which correlated with increased maladaptive coping behaviors and lower levels of hope, forgiveness, and higher stress and rumination.* -
  • The results indicate that higher protective factors can lessen maladaptive behaviors among students with high ACEs, highlighting the importance of support systems.*
