Article Abstract
Using data from a U.S. probability survey of individuals aged 14 to 60, we aimed (1) to assess the proportion of respondents who ever reported scary sexual situations and (2) to examine descriptions of sexual experiences reported as scary. Data were cross-sectional and collected via the GfK KnowledgePanel®. Scary sexual situations were reported by 23.9% of adult women, 10.3% of adult men, 12.5% of adolescent women, and 3.8% of adolescent men who had ever engaged in oral, vaginal, or anal sex. Themes included sexual assault/rape, incest, being held down, anal sex, choking, threats, multiple people, novelty/learning, among others.

Article Synopsis
- Fear triggers the body's adrenergic system, initiating a fight-or-flight response that may impact inflammation and the immune system, especially after acute stressors like terrifying experiences.
- This study aims to evaluate changes in low-grade inflammation and immune markers before, during, and after participants visit a haunted house attraction in Denmark that is designed to induce fear.
- The research involved 113 adult participants, measuring heart rates, self-reported fear levels, and blood markers (hs-CRP and leukocytes), with findings indicating that some participants experienced normalization of inflammation levels three days after the frightening event.
Assessing the energy system's greenhouse emissions via the health of Smart Territories and Cities.

RETINES Laboratory, Doctoral School - ED 85, Côte d'Azur University, France.
The aim of this paper is to understand how the main drivers of air pollution and greenhouse emissions impact public health in a Smart Territory - meaning a technologically integrated city or neighborhood - as well as how to design an optimized energy system model beyond only data by including the holistic experience of its people through phenomenology and ethics. We understand that a Territory and a City is a complex system where mathematical tool modeling known as Design of Experiment (DOE) and its optimization solutions are required to establish causality and identify the variables that have a broader impact on public health so that mortality rates due to air pollution are reduced. DOE's statistical branch is a novel methodology when applied to energy systems and the design of Smart Territories and Cities.

Maladaptive appraisals, such as thoughts about experiencing a permanent and disturbing change and about being a fragile person in a scary world, are associated with posttraumatic stress reactions (PTSR) for trauma-exposed children and adolescents. Less is known about what puts young people at risk for developing such appraisals, and the differential relationship between the types of appraisals and PTSR The primary aim was to examine the role of age, gender and exposure to potentially traumatizing events (PTEs) for the levels of maladaptive appraisals. The secondary aim was to investigate the association between the levels of maladaptive appraisals (appraisals of a permanent change and appraisals about a scary world) and PTSR.
