AI Article Synopsis
- Donald Trump is once again campaigning for US president, making controversial statements, the latest being about magnets not working underwater, sparking public interest and scientific discourse.
- Democrats are focusing more on sensible discussions about science but are hesitant to address their past failures to fulfill promises regarding increased funding for science and technology.
- Unlike the last election dominated by COVID-19 and its scientific implications, this year's top issue is the economy, causing science to take a back seat in political conversations, with only occasional references to climate and social science topics.
Article Abstract
In some ways, not much has changed from 4 years ago. Donald Trump is running for US president and saying outrageous things: This year's standout is that magnets don't work under water, which sent scientists into a tizzy and no doubt spawned many home experiments. Democrats are talking more sensibly about science but also avoiding a discussion of their disappointing record on backing up promises to increase funding for US science and technology. But many things are different with this November's election. Four years ago, COVID-19 was the top issue, which made science the centerpiece of discussion. Now, the top issue is the economy, and science has been left once again on the back burner with only an occasional foray into climate science or social science studies on issues like abortion and gun control.

Meta-Analysis: Prevalence of Youth Mental Disorders in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Glob Ment Health (Camb)
November 2024
Shamiri Institute, Nairobi, Kenya.
Youth in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) face limited access to professional mental health resources. A comprehensive assessment of the prevalence of mental disorders would build an understanding of the scope of the need. We conducted systematic searches in PsycInfo, Pubmed, AfriBib and Africa Journals Online to identify prevalence rates for five disorders (anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, attention problems and post-traumatic stress) among SSA youth with a mean age of less than 19 years.

Apexification is a crucial procedure for achieving apical healing in non-vital teeth with open apices. Traditionally, calcium hydroxide has been used for this purpose, but it has significant drawbacks, including prolonged treatment duration, increased risk of root fracture, and the potential for porous barrier formation. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) has emerged as a superior alternative due to its biocompatibility, faster setting time, and better sealing properties.

Emberiza buntings (Aves: Emberizidae) exhibit extensive diversity and rapid diversification within the Old World, particularly in the eastern Palearctic, making them valuable models for studying rapid radiation among sympatric species. Despite their ecological and morphological diversity, there remains a significant gap in understanding the genomic underpinnings driving their rapid speciation. To fill this gap, we assembled high-quality chromosome-level genomes of five representative Emberiza species (E.

Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (RuBisCO) is an ancient protein critical for CO2-fixation and global biogeochemistry. Form-I RuBisCO complexes uniquely harbor small subunits that form a hexadecameric complex together with their large subunits. The small subunit protein is thought to have significantly contributed to RuBisCO's response to the atmospheric rise of O2 ∼2.
