The present study investigates the potential contribution of three predictors of aggressive and transgressive behaviors on the road: driving anger, impulsiveness and aggressiveness. A total of 455 participants (laypersons), of all age and gender, filled self-reported measures evaluating driving anger, impulsiveness, two forms of aggressiveness (instrumental and emotional forms), driving behaviors and aggressive and transgressive behaviors. Main results indicate: (1) a significant gender effect for almost all variables; (2) gender was involved in the prediction of Lapses and Errors; (3) driving anger, impulsiveness and aggressiveness were involved in a complementary manner in the prediction of aggressive and transgressive driving; (4) Aggressiveness and Impeded Progress were the best predictors of violations and aggressive violations. Results support that transgressive driving behaviors are relevant indicators of aggressive driving.

Mapping the neural substrate of high dual-task gait cost in older adults across the cognitive spectrum.

Brain Struct Funct

The dual task cost of gait (DTC) is an accessible and cost-effective test that can help identify individuals with cognitive decline and dementia. However, its neural substrate has not been widely described. This study aims to investigate the neural substrate of the high DTC in older adults across the spectrum of cognitive decline.

mRNA decay pre-complex assembly drives timely cell-state transitions during differentiation.

Complexes that control mRNA stability and translation promote timely cell-state transitions during differentiation by ensuring appropriate expression patterns of key developmental regulators. The Drosophila RNA-binding protein brain tumor (Brat) promotes the degradation of target transcripts during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in syncytial embryos and uncommitted intermediate neural progenitors (immature INPs). We identify ubiquitin-specific protease 5 (Usp5) as a candidate Brat interactor essential for the degradation of Brat target mRNAs.

Background: Ewing sarcoma (ES), the second main pediatric bone sarcoma, is characterised by a chromosomal translocation leading to the formation of fusion proteins like EWS::FLI1. While several studies have shown that potassium channels drive the development of many tumours, limited data exist on ES. This work therefore aimed to study the transcriptional regulation of KCNA2 and define the involvement of the Kv1.

Polymer solution injection has emerged as a promising method for the remediation of NAPL (non-aqueous phase liquids)-contaminated aquifers. This technique enhances recovery efficiency by modifying viscous forces, stabilizing the displacement front, and minimizing channeling effects. However, there remains a significant gap in understanding the behavior of polymer solutions, particularly those with different molecular weights (MW), for mobilizing DNAPL (dense non-aqueous phase liquids) trapped in heterogeneous aquifers, especially within low-permeability layers.

Driving performance can be significantly impacted when a person experiences intense emotions behind the wheel. Research shows that emotions such as anger, sadness, agitation, and joy can increase the risk of traffic accidents. This study introduces a methodology to recognize four specific emotions using an intelligent model that processes and analyzes signals from motor activity and driver behavior, which are generated by interactions with basic driving elements, along with facial geometry images captured during emotion induction.
