The current study examined Posttraumatic Growth (PTG) experienced by bereaved pet owners in the United States, French-Canada, Japan, and Hong Kong following the death of their pet. Using qualitative methodology, we analyzed responses of participants who answered "yes" to a question about experiencing PTG and explored to what extent the cross-cultural responses mapped onto the five factors of the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI). For the U.S. sample, 58% of responses mapped onto the PTGI. For French-Canada, 72% of responses mapped onto the PTGI. For Japan, 50% of responses mapped onto the PTGI and for Hong Kong, 39% of responses mapped onto the PTGI. We also explored emergent categories related to PTG for individuals who have lost a pet and discerned the unique aspects for PTG across cultures.

Poor response to 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) remains an obstacle in the treatment of gastric cancer (GC). Super enhancers (SEs) are crucial for determining tumor cell survival under drug pressure. SE landscapes related to 5-FU-resistance are mapped to GC using chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing (ChIP-Seq).

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and cerebrovascular diseases (CeVDs) are closely related vascular diseases, sharing common cardiometabolic risk factors (RFs). Although pleiotropic genetic variants of these two diseases have been reported, their underlying pathological mechanisms are still unclear. Leveraging GWAS summary data and using genetic correlation, pleiotropic variants identification, and colocalization analyses, we identified 11 colocalized loci for CVDs-CeVDs-BP (blood pressure), CVDs-CeVDs-LIP (lipid traits), and CVDs-CeVDs-cIMT (carotid intima-media thickness) triplets.

We analysed the chromosomal structures of two wheat-Thinopyrum intermedium addition lines Z4 and Z5 and resolved the linkage relationship between the leaf rust and stripe rust resistance genes in Z4. Wheat addition lines Z4 and Z5 carrying rust resistance genes from Thinopyrum intermedium (JJJJStSt, 2n = 6x = 42) together with three wheat lines involved in the production of these addition lines were analysed by rust response, 90K SNP genotyping, and molecular cytogenetic analysis. Seedling leaf rust (LR) responses to five diverse pathotypes indicated that the LR resistance gene(s) was located in translocation chromosome T3DS-3AS.

In response to the challenges faced by the Coati Optimization Algorithm (COA), including imbalance between exploration and exploitation, slow convergence speed, susceptibility to local optima, and low convergence accuracy, this paper introduces an enhanced variant termed the Adaptive Coati Optimization Algorithm (ACOA). ACOA achieves a balanced exploration-exploitation trade-off through refined exploration strategies and developmental methodologies. It integrates chaos mapping to enhance randomness and global search capabilities and incorporates a dynamic antagonistic learning approach employing random protons to mitigate premature convergence, thereby enhancing algorithmic robustness.

While psychophysical evidence suggests spatial dependencies in duration perception, few studies have directly tested the neural link between temporal and spatial processing. Using ultra-high-field functional MRI and neuronal-based modeling, we investigated how and where the processing and the representation of a visual stimulus duration is linked to that of its spatial location.
