Abnormal behavior in nonhuman primates is oftentimes prematurely blamed on certain conditions, in the case of captive non-human primates, readily so on their husbandry, largely ignoring the underlying pathophysiological processes in the brain. Each life history shapes an individual's predisposition to develop or resist the development of a psychopathological disorder, which manifests itself in abnormal behavior when triggered by certain situations or conditions. In order to sustainably address the symptoms of psychopathologies, therapeutic approaches must be based on a structured, comprehensive diagnostic procedure, including behavioral and functional analyses, research into life history, and personality assessment..

Background: In Nigeria, men constitute over half of the people notified with tuberculosis (TB), experience longer delays before reaching care, and are estimated to account for two thirds of people who miss out on care. The higher TB risk and burden in men has implications for the whole population and reaching them earlier with TB services will reduce onward transmission in households, communities, and workplaces. The absence of a comprehensive guidance and the lack of substantial empirical evidence on TB care approaches that are responsive to the needs of men in Nigeria exacerbates this problem.

Article Synopsis
  • Identifying influential nodes in networks is crucial for understanding their structure and function; however, the traditional VoteRank algorithm has limitations in accuracy and tends to overlook network topology.
  • This paper introduces a new algorithm called Edge Weighted VoteRank (EWV), which improves upon VoteRank by incorporating node attributes and the weight of edges, drawing inspiration from human voting behavior to better assess node attractiveness.
  • The EWV algorithm not only enhances accuracy but also tackles the issue of clustering among influential nodes, demonstrating superior performance in experiments across 12 real networks compared to seven other algorithms.

Aim: To explore the elements of nursing identity recognized by nursing students in models developed through the 'Design process' methodology.

Background: The construction of nursing professional identity is a complex process involving identification, group belonging, partial assessments and social representations. Nursing identity is one of the most stereotyped and its formation during the nursing degree has a significant impact on professional development.

Desalination of seawater by forward osmosis is a technology potentially able to address the global water scarcity problem. The major challenge limiting its widespread practical application is the design of a draw solute that can be separated from water by an energetically efficient process and then reused for the next cycle. Recent experiments demonstrate that a promising draw solute for forward-osmosis desalination is tetrabutylphosphonium 2,4,6-trimethylbenzenesulfonate ([P][TMBS]).
