Unlabelled: The bacterial genus includes species found in environmental habitats like soil and water, as well as taxa adapted to be host-associated or pathogenic. High genetic diversity may allow for this habitat flexibility, but the specific genes underlying switches between habitats are poorly understood. One lineage of has undergone a substantial habitat change by evolving from a presumed soil-dwelling ancestral state to thrive in floral nectar.

Background: The aim of this study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a parent-rated parenting assessment scale including positive and negative dimensions of parenting. Factorial validity, reliability, measurement invariance, latent mean differences and construct validity of the Assessment Scale of Positive and Negative Parenting Behavior (FPNE) were tested in a pooled sample of five studies of 1,879 school-aged children (6.00 to 12.

Article Synopsis
- 1-4% of children and adolescents worldwide suffer from OCD, and many do not have access to traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), making online videoconferencing (vCBT) a promising alternative for therapy in a familiar environment.
- A study with 20 patients aged 12-18 conducted 14 weekly vCBT sessions, using a multimodal sensor system to monitor physiological and behavioral responses, finding that both patients and parents found the treatment feasible and easy to understand.
- Results pointed to significant reductions in OCD symptoms, with an average CY-BOCS score decrease of over 50%, and improvements in family life, indicating that vCBT could be a successful treatment method for
Background: E-mental health applications have been increasingly used in the psychotherapeutic care of patients for several years. State-of-the-art sensor technology could be used to determine digital biomarkers for the diagnosis of mental disorders. Furthermore, by integrating sensors into treatment, relevant contextual information (e.

Article Synopsis
- Aripiprazole, a medication approved for severe mental disorders, is often prescribed off-label to children and adolescents, yet there are no established therapeutic serum level reference ranges for this population.
- A study aimed to investigate the relationship between aripiprazole dosage and serum concentrations in youth, identifying factors like sex, age, and weight that might influence these levels.
- The findings suggested a strong correlation between daily dosage and serum concentration, leading to a preliminary reference range for treating pediatric patients, which indicated potentially better outcomes and fewer side effects when using interquartile ranges for dose determination.
