AI Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between identity status and self-actualization in young adults, using a revised identity interview and a self-actualization measure with 41 participants.
- A new identity status, called identity closure, was introduced to address issues identified in previous research, leading to a modified definition of identity achievement that includes exploration, tentative commitment, and openness to alternatives.
- Results indicated that individuals with an open identity achievement status scored higher in self-actualization compared to those with a closed identity status, supporting Eriksonian theory and suggesting validity for the updated definition of identity achievement.
Article Abstract
This study examined identity status and self-actualization of young adults (N = 41), who were administered a revised identity interview (based on Marcia's interview) and a measure of self-actualization (the Personal Orientation Inventory). A fifth status, identity closure, was added to account for status regression and re-foreclosure, found in previous studies. This addition prompted a revision of the operational definition of identity achievement to include three criteria: exploration, tentative commitment, and openness to alternatives. Open achieved individuals scored higher than closed individuals on the measure of self-actualization, suggesting some validity for the revised operational definition of identity achievement and providing support for Eriksonian theory. Theoretical implications and the development of a revised paradigm are discussed.

Supervised machine learning statistical models for visual outcome prediction in macular hole surgery: a single-surgeon, standardized surgery study.
Int J Retina Vitreous
January 2025
Department of Retina and Vitreous, Narayana Nethralaya, #121/C, 1st R Block, Chord Road, Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, 560010, India.
Purpose: To evaluate the predictive accuracy of various machine learning (ML) statistical models in forecasting postoperative visual acuity (VA) outcomes following macular hole (MH) surgery using preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) parameters.
Methods: This retrospective study included 158 eyes (151 patients) with full-thickness MHs treated between 2017 and 2023 by the same surgeon and using the same intraoperative surgical technique. Data from electronic medical records and OCT scans were extracted, with OCT-derived qualitative and quantitative MH characteristics recorded.
Exploring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the identity of trans and gender diverse youth.
Br J Dev Psychol

During the COVID-19 pandemic, closure of schools and other public places changed the circumstances under which young people engaged in identity development. This qualitative study examines the impact of COVID-19 on the gender identity development of 295 transgender and gender diverse youth, ages 13-22. Responses to the open-ended question 'How has the COVID pandemic changed or affected your own understanding of your gender identity?' were analysed through thematic analysis.

Yessotoxin is one of the shellfish toxins leading to mussel farm closures in the Adriatic Sea of Italy. Two putative Gonyaulax spinifera strains GSA0501 and GSA0602 are known as yessotoxins producers, but their identities have remained elusive since 2005. To address this gap, we established five Gonyaulax strains by incubating sediments from the Adriatic Sea and subsequently isolating single cells.

Dept. of Retina and Vitreous, Narayana Nethralaya, #121/C, 1st R Block, Chord Road, Rajaji Nagar, Bengaluru, Karnataka, 560010, India.
Purpose: To compare short- and long-term anatomical, functional, and refractive outcomes between combined phacovitrectomy (PVS) and consecutive vitrectomy (CVS) for idiopathic macular holes (MHs). Also, to evaluate the role of preoperative optical coherence tomography (OCT) image quality in guiding surgical selection.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 183 phakic MH eyes operated between 2012 and 23, with patients divided into PVS and CVS groups.
Complete Computational Reaction Mechanism for Foldamer-Catalyzed Aldol Condensation.
ACS Catal
May 2024
Department of Chemistry, Boston University, Boston, MA 02215.
Foldamers, small synthetic peptides made of and -amino acids, have been found to be efficient catalysts for carbon-carbon bond-forming aldol reactions; of particular interest is their ability to catalyze macrocycle ring closure reactions. These catalysts feature a pair of amine groups that are aligned by the helical conformation and act in concert. Kinetic measurements show that the rate of the reaction depends on the identity of the amine side chains present.
