Research has shown that aspects of group dynamics of AA meetings are associated with AA attendance, alcohol use, and engagement in prescribed AA behaviors. This study investigated whether perceptions of AA meeting group dynamics changed over 12-months and whether these dynamics predicted the probability that a new member would get a sponsor. Results showed that perceptions of the group dynamics of AA meetings did not change over the 12-month assessment period. Member perception of group cohesion was the only AA meeting group dynamic that predicted a new member getting a sponsor. Findings suggest that group cohesion plays an important role in AA members recovery efforts.

The formation of gastric precancerous-lesions (GPLs) has been identified as a critical step in tumorigenesis, and patients with GPLs have an increased risk of gastric cancer. Magnolol is the primary biphenolic compound in Magnolia officinalis. It possesses various pharmacological properties, such as cardioprotective and neuroprotective properties, and inhibit tumor growth.

Optimal brain function is shaped by a combination of global information integration, facilitated by long-range connections, and local processing, which relies on short-range connections and underlying biological factors. With aging, anatomical connectivity undergoes significant deterioration, which affects the brain's overall function. Despite the structural loss, previous research has shown that normative patterns of functions remain intact across the lifespan, defined as the compensatory mechanism of the aging brain.

Alkyl nickel intermediates relevant to catalytic processes often feature agostic stabilization, but relatively little is known about the situation in oligonickel systems. The dinickel(I) complex K[LNi], which is based on a compartmental pyrazolato-bridged ligand L with two β-diketiminato chelate arms, or its masked version, the dihydride complex [KL(Ni-H)] that readily releases H, oxidatively add methyl tosylate to give diamagnetic [LNi(CH)] () with (Ni···Ni) ≈ 3.7 Å.

In this paper, we introduce and analyze a discrete-time model of an epidemic spread in a heterogeneous population. As the heterogeneous population, we define a population in which we have two groups which differ in a risk of getting infected: a low-risk group and a high-risk group. We construct our model without discretization of its continuous-time counterpart, which is not a common approach.
