Articulatory suppression (repeatedly pronouncing a syllable or word while carrying out another task) is thought to interfere selectively with the phonological store in working memory. Although suppression interferes with temporal enumeration (enumerating successive light flashes), to date there has been little evidence of such interference in spatial enumeration (enumerating units laid out in space at one time)--a finding with serious ramifications for theories of enumeration. Participants carried out a spatial enumeration task, enumerating 1-8 dots while listening to a metronome (baseline condition) or while carrying out a secondary task to the rhythm of the metronome (dual-task condition). There were four secondary tasks: simple articulation (saying a letter), complex articulation (alternating between two letters), simple tapping (tapping a finger), and complex tapping (alternating between two fingers). Interference varied with number of items, but the pattern differed from that observed with temporal enumeration.

Background: The full pentavalent (DPT-HepB-Hib) vaccination is the main strategy to prevent five communicable diseases in early childhood, especially in countries with huge communicable disease burdens like Ethiopia. Exploring spatial distributions and determinants of full pentavalent vaccination status in minor ecological areas in Ethiopia is crucial for creating targeted immunization campaigns and monitoring the advancement of accomplishing sustainable development goals. This study aimed to investigate the spatial disparities and determinants of full pentavalent vaccination among 12-23-month-old children in Ethiopia.

Phytohormones are vital regulators of various signaling networks in plants. Among different phytohormones, auxin has been thoroughly studied for its role in regulating plants' growth, development, and stress response. One major function of auxin is modulating the developmental processes in response to environmental cues.

Background: High unmet need for family planning combined with other factors, such as high early marriage and teenage pregnancy, increases the risk of developing obstetric fistula and other complications. This study aimed to assess spatial distribution and urban-rural disparities of unmet need for family planning among married/in-union women in Ethiopia.
Methods: The study was conducted on secondary data from a cross-sectional survey that was conducted nationally between September and December 2019 using a two-stage cluster design on a total of 265 enumeration areas.
Article Synopsis
- * This study aimed to evaluate the HER2 status of CTCs in mBC patients over three months of treatment, especially the implications for HER2-low cases, which are becoming increasingly relevant with new therapies involving antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs).
- * Results showed a discrepancy in HER2 status between CTCs and tumor tissues in 30.2% of patients, highlighting the challenges in diagnostic accuracy and the need for improved monitoring approaches in mBC treatment.
