Background: Substance-use disorder (SUD) was found to be an aggravating factor to delinquency and is closely related to personality disorders (PDs).
Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate sex differences in the relationship between PD traits and SUD in adolescents institutionalized in child welfare and juvenile justice institutions.
Methods: PD traits were measured dimensionally in a sample of 282 boys (69 with an SUD diagnosis) and 143 girls (45 with an SUD diagnosis) from child welfare and juvenile-justice institutions.
Results: Logistic regressions showed that antisocial, borderline, and paranoid personality traits were positively associated with SUD, while obsessive compulsive personality traits were negatively related with SUD. Additionally, in institutionalized girls, self-defeating personality traits were associated with less risk of SUD.
Conclusion: This study provides a relative evidence for sex specificities in the relation between PD traits and SUD.

The stripe color of watermelon is a vital commercial trait and is the focus of attention of consumers and researchers. However, the genetic determinants of watermelon stripe color are incompletely understood. Based on the results of preliminary localization studies, we constructed a large-capacity F generation population (710 plants) using light-green striped ZXG1555 and green-striped Cream of Saskatchewan (COS) watermelon strains as parental lines for fine mapping.

Introduction: Observational studies have found that higher iron levels are associated with an increased risk of diabetes mellitus. Given the limitations of causal inferences from observational studies and the expensive and time-consuming nature of randomized controlled trials, Mendelian randomization analysis presents a reasonable alternative to study causal relationships. Previous MR analyses studying iron levels and diabetes have used indirect markers of iron levels, such as serum ferritin, and found conflicting results.

This study aims to address the fragmented understanding of the antecedents of social media addiction (SMA) by examining key factors and their roles as necessary and sufficient conditions. By integrating key variables from previous research, including the Dark Triad traits, self-regulation, social anxiety, and Fear of Missing Out (FoMO), the study investigates their relationships with SMA. Data were collected through 369 questionnaires and analyzed using regression analysis and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA).

Agricultural management significantly affects insects, especially pollinators, which are crucial for crop pollination and biodiversity. In agricultural landscapes, various factors spanning different spatial scales are known to affect pollinator health, which, in turn, can influence pollination services. However, the importance of these factors in driving the health and performance of different pollinator groups remains unclear.

Plant diversity is fundamental to maintaining grassland ecosystem function. Rangeland managers use fencing as a strategy to enhance plant diversity in degraded grasslands. However, the effects of this natural management approach on grasslands across a wide range of environmental gradients and its spatial pattern remain unclear.
