The study aimed to explore the relationship between family resilience, post-traumatic growth(PTG), and caregiver burden among family caregivers of stroke survivors. Researchers conducted a cross-sectional study to recruit 253 family caregivers of stroke survivors from a public hospital in Shandong Province, China. Caregivers completed sociodemographic information, the Shortened Chinese Version of the Family Resilience Assessment Scale, the Post-traumatic Growth Inventory, and the Zarit Caregiver Burden Interview. We used Amos 24.0 to construct structural equation models and examine the mediating effects of stroke survivors' post-traumatic growth. Family resilience was positively associated with post-traumatic growth, and both family resilience and post-traumatic growth were negatively associated with caregiver burden. Post-traumatic growth partially mediated the relationship between family resilience and caregiver burden, and the mediating effect accounted for 21.27% of the total effect. Targeted interventions should address family resilience and post-traumatic growth as protective factors of caregiver burden.

Stress has been known as a risk factor for the onset and modification of autoimmune disorders such as myasthenia gravis (MG). However, the patients can control their stress and improve their quality of life (QOL) using some factors such as psychological and social support. Psychological capital and social support play a key role in decreasing stress and improving QOL in the patients with MG.

Purpose: Despite the increasing interest in positive psychology and the functional characteristics of one of its practical derivations, strength-based parenting, there is a paucity of information regarding the assessment tools for strength-based parenting and their psychometric properties. Thus, this study aimed to translate the Strength-Based Parenting Scale (SBPS) into Persian and investigate its validity and reliability among Iranian adolescents.
Method: Of the 645 adolescents who completed the Persian translation of the SBPS (349 females, M = 14.

The abiotic stress tolerance mechanism in plants is regulated by multiple physiological, biochemical, and molecular processes; hence, omics approaches to underpin these mechanisms are essential. It is clear that transcription factors (TFs) are one of the fundamental molecular switches that play a crucial role in modulating, regulating, and orchestrating plants in response to various climatic vagaries. Several reports are available now, focusing on understanding the roles of TFs, including those in Poaceae family in regulating different biological processes and stress responses.

Pb is a prevalent heavy metal contaminant in the habitats of herbivorous insects. This study investigated the tolerance level of Lymantria dispar larvae to Pb and its corresponding mechanism focusing on the role of ZIP genes. The detrimental impacts of Pb on larval growth and survival exhibited a dose-dependent relationship, with a survival rate of 48 % even at the extreme concentration of 3424 mg/kg.
