A cross-sectional survey was conducted by random duster sampling in the city of Tehran. Knowledge of the drivers was assessed with 6 questions about national traffic laws. Attitude was assessed on a 7-item scale of drivers' perceptions. Behavior was observed by a police officer on 13 areas of assessment. Correlations were low among these three scores. Drivers with advanced education had higher scores on behavior. Knowledge, attitude, and behavior of these drivers did not seem associated.

Assessing the potential effects of climate change on the morphodynamics of the tropical coral reef islands in the Gulf of Mannar, Indian Ocean.

J Environ Manage

Physical Oceanography Division, CSIR- National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula, 403 004, Goa, India; School of Oceanography, Academy of Scientific and Innovative Research (AcSIR), Ghaziabad, 201 002, India. Electronic address:

Low-lying and small tropical coral reef islands around the world are extremely vulnerable to the effects of global environmental change caused by the combination of anthropogenic climate change and escalating extreme hydrodynamic events. Erosion and inundation are anticipated to physically destabilize the tropical coral reef islands, rendering them uninhabitable within the next century. Therefore, it is crucial to assess the repercussions of these hazardous events on the delicate reef island ecosystem in order to conserve and ensure sustainable management.

Gut dysbiosis as a driver of neuroinflammation in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder: A review of current evidence.

Neuroscience

January 2025

Thompson Brain and Mind Healthcare, Eccles Blvd, Birtinya QLD, 4575, Australia. Electronic address:

There is mounting evidence for the involvement of the immune system, neuroinflammation and disturbed gut microbiota, or dysbiosis, in attentive-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Gut dysbiosis is strongly implicated in many physical, autoimmune, neurological, and neuropsychiatric conditions, however knowledge of its particular pathogenic role in ADHD is sparse. As such, this narrative review examines and synthesizes the available evidence related to inflammation, dysbiosis, and neural processes in ADHD.

Ecosystem water use efficiency and carbon use efficiency respond oppositely to vegetation greening in China's Loess Plateau.

Sci Total Environ

January 2025

State Key Laboratory for Ecological Security of Regions and Cities, Research Center for Eco-Environmental Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100085, China; University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China; Shaanxi Yan'an Forest Ecosystem Observation and Research Station, Beijing 100085, China; National Observation and Research Station of Earth Critical Zone on the Loess Plateau in Shaanxi, Xi'an 710061, China.

Ecosystem water use efficiency (WUE) and carbon use efficiency (CUE) are critical parameters to determine the trade-off between water consumption and carbon sequestration in drylands. However, the roles of vegetation cover, climate factors and soil moisture in affecting the coupling of WUE and CUE were still poorly understood. This study combined the spatial random forest model and structural equation model to detect the drivers of WUE and CUE variations in China's Loess Plateau during 2001-2020, a typical water-limited region with about 87 % of area experiencing significant vegetation greening.

Pharmacogenetics: Opportunities for the Research Program and Other Large Data Sets to Advance the Field.

Annu Rev Pharmacol Toxicol

January 2025

Clinical and Translational Science Institute, Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio, USA.

Pharmacogenetic variation is common and an established driver of response for many drugs. There has been tremendous progress in pharmacogenetics knowledge over the last 30 years and in clinical implementation of that knowledge over the last 15 years. But there have also been many examples where translation has stalled because of the lack of available data sets for discovery or validation research.

[A case of atopic dermatitis-the biopsychosocial view].

Dermatologie (Heidelb)

January 2025

Psychoneuroimmunologie Labor, Klinik für Psychosomatik und Psychotherapie, Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen, Aulweg 123, 35385, Gießen, Deutschland.

Background: Atopic dermatitis is perhaps the most comprehensively studied skin disease in psychosomatic medicine and psychoneuroimmunology. Its biopsychosocial conceptualization incorporates psychodynamic as well as behavioral and systemic considerations. At the same time, there is also extensive biological knowledge of the neuroendocrine-immune control of barrier and immune function, characterized through animal experiments and translational clinical studies.
