Objective: To examine changes in symptoms of oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) after treatment with the Incredible Years Program. The frequency of symptoms was also calculated.
Method: The participants were 84 children (aged 4.1-8.9 years) diagnosed with ODD before treatment. The data were collected with KIDDIE-SADS interviews before treatment and at a 1-year follow-up.
Results: At the 1-year follow-up, descriptive analyses showed that 68% of the children no longer had an ODD diagnosis. Even though all the ODD symptoms had been significantly reduced after treatment, most symptoms still occurred "sometimes".
Conclusions: The Incredible Years Program has a positive effect on children with ODD. However, many children still have symptoms of ODD at the 1-year follow-up, although the frequency of symptoms is significantly reduced. Future studies should explore further these changes in ODD symptoms and evaluate whether some parents and children need support in addition to the Incredible Years Program. It would also be valuable to determine whether patterns of childhood ODD symptoms are related to later development of depression and conduct disorder.

Incredible properties of quantum dots (QDs) have once again been acclaimed with this year's (2023) Nobel prize in chemistry. On the other hand, the invention of multicolour molecular imaging of cell surface receptors for tumour diagnosis by Koyama and group has opened up a new era in diagnostics. Among them carbon quantum dots (CQDs) are interesting class of fluorescent nanomaterials, superior in terms of low toxicity, high solubility and biocompatibility along with simple and cost-effective synthesis processes unlike the traditional metal chalcogenide or perovskite quantum dots.

Agricultural input and output prices have become extremely volatile in recent years and the global meat industry faces sustainability challenges related to climate change, resource competition, environmental regulations, animal welfare concerns, consumer preferences and industry policies. Additionally, the economic situation of cattle fattening farms has been significantly impacted by two major shocks: the COVID-19 pandemic and the onset of the war in Ukraine. This has led to a growing demand for microsimulation tools that can analyse how these conditions affect the operations of agricultural farms and address various technological challenges at both the farm and sector levels.

Muscle-invasive bladder cancer represents a potentially curable disease, yet often disease recurs and is ultimately fatal. Outcomes for patients with localized urothelial carcinoma are heterogeneous with some patients cured with surgery alone, deriving no benefit from perioperative systemic therapy, while others are left with residual disease and may benefit from additional therapy. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy increases cure rates but comes with significant toxicity.
