Project PRIDE (Promoting Resilience In Discriminatory Environments) is an 8-session small group intervention aimed at reducing negative mental and behavioral health outcomes resulting from minority stress. This study reports the results of a one-armed pilot test of Project PRIDE, which aimed to examine the feasibility and potential for efficacy of the intervention in a sample of 33 gay and bisexual men aged 18 to 25. The intervention appeared feasible to administer in two different sites and all participants who completed posttreatment (n = 22) or follow-up (n = 19) assessments reported high satisfaction with the intervention. Small to large effect sizes were observed for increases in self-esteem; small effect sizes were found for decreases in loneliness and decreases in minority stress variables; and small and medium effect sizes were found for reductions in alcohol use and number of sex partners, respectively. Overall, Project PRIDE appears to be a feasible intervention with promise of efficacy.

Soil quality under rotational and conventional grazing in Mediterranean areas at desertification risk.
J Environ Manage
January 2025
Università degli studi della Campania Luigi Vanvitelli, Caserta, Italy. Electronic address:
Rotational grazing (RG) could be a valid alternative to continuous grazing (CG) in Mediterranean extensive pastures to fight land degradation. This study aimed to compare soil quality under RG and CG management, in paired RG-CG Portuguese pasture areas under strong aridity stress, with RG sites converted from CG management in 2018. Soils were sampled in 2022, at 10 cm depth, over 71 ha of RG and 37 ha of CG pastures, subdivided in 16 and 10 sampling plots, respectively.

Objectives: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been linked to posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), but the role of contextual factors remains underexplored. Therefore, this study examined the moderating effect of campus climate on associations between ACEs and PTSS and whether effects differ based on racial/ethnic identity.
Participants: University students taking Psychology courses at a large public university in the Northeastern United States ( = 419).
D1-104/3 and C31-106/3 differentially modulate the antioxidative response of duckweed ( L.) to salt stress.

Article Synopsis
- Duckweed is a valuable model for studying plant responses to stress, specifically focusing on how bacterial strains D1-104/3 and C31-106/3 influence growth and stress responses under salt stress (10 and 100 mM NaCl).
- The experiment measured various physiological parameters after 14 days, revealing that both bacterial strains colonized duckweeds and affected growth differently, with C31-106/3 showing a longer doubling time but reducing chlorosis.
- Results indicated that both bacterial strains enhanced antioxidant capacity and reduced oxidative stress, with significant differences in their impacts on proline, chlorophyll, and enzyme activities, particularly at higher salt concentrations.

Department of Community Medicine, College of Medicine, Gulf Medical University, Ajman, ARE.
Objectives: The purpose of this research was to assess the impact of exposure to heat on the physical, social, and mental health domains of adults residing in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where the region faces great increases in temperature due to climate change. Previous research has focused mainly on physical health outcomes; this research addressed the expansive impacts of mental and social health, which remain understudied in the region.
Methods: A cross-sectional study surveyed 397 adults in the UAE using a structured questionnaire.
The Role of Acculturative Stress and Self-Construal in Maladaptive Eating Behaviors among Female Young Adults in Diverse College Settings.

Department of Psychological Science, University of California, 4562 Social and Behavioral Sciences Gateway, Irvine, CA 92697-7085, USA. Electronic address:
Unlabelled: The increasing cultural diversity in the United States means more college students identify with racial and ethnic minority backgrounds and may experience acculturative stress. Emerging research has found an association between acculturative stress and maladaptive eating. However, these studies rarely consider other theoretical factors or confounders, and individual differences.
