Association between family functions and antenatal depression symptoms: a cross-sectional study among pregnant women in urban communities of Hengyang city, China by Huilan Xu, Zhao Hu, Xidi Zhu, Baohua Zheng, Yunhan Yu, Wensu Zhou, Shilin Yin

“…Objective To explore the prevalence of depressive symptoms among women in late pregnancy, and assess mediating effect of self-efficacy in the association between family functions and the antenatal depressive symptoms.Design Community-based, cross-sectional study was conducted among women during the third trimester of pregnancy.Setting This study was conducted among pregnant women registered at community health service centres of urban Hengyang City, China from July to October 2019.Participants 813 people were selected from 14 communities by multi-staged cluster random sampling method.Main outcome measures The Family Adaptation Partnership Growth Affection and Resolve Index, the General Self-efficacy Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire were used to access family functions, self-efficacy and antenatal depression symptoms, respectively.Results In this study, 9.2% pregnant women reported the symptoms of antenatal depression (95 CI% 7.2% to 11.2%). …”

Transcriptome-based analysis reveals key molecular mechanisms and functional characterization of MaCAX3 gene involved in manganese stress responses in mulberry plants by Jianbin Li, Michael Ackah, Frank Kwarteng Amoako, Aaron Tettey Asare, Manman Shen, Zhenjiang Wang, Qiang Lin, Changyu Qiu, Meina Zhu, Mengdi Zhao, Weiguo Zhao

“…Understanding the molecular mechanisms of tolerance to Mn stress is crucial for improving the efficiency of conferring Mn tolerance and phytoremediation, which is intriguing for evolutionary research on plant adaptation to abiotic stresses. In this study, the responses of mulberry to varied concentration levels of Mn (MnSO4), ranging from deficiency (0 mM and 0.03 mM), sufficiency (0.15 mM), and toxicity regimes (1.5 mM and 3 mM) were compared by elucidating the physiological, transcriptome profiling, and functional characterization of the MaCAX3 gene in mulberry leaves. …”

Bayesian adaptation in Poisson cognitive systems by Aleksander A. Solodov

“…From a mathematical point of view, such a model of cognitive functioning is the implementation of an adaptive Bayesian approach, which allows to reduce the influence of a priori distribution of an unknown quantity on its evaluation.The described model of the cognitive system is justified by the fact that the value of X is not only random, but also with an unknown a priori distribution, is not observed directly, and in some way must be evaluated by the cognitive system on the basis of the already existing in the unconscious number of events and the last event on the basis of which.The optimal estimation of the random parameter is used to solve the problem of classification of observations, i.e. the optimal verification of the one-sided hypothesis by the Bayesian criterion.As a result of the undertaken consideration the applicability of the developed formal definition of cognitive system for the formulation of various problems of analysis and synthesis of systems is demonstrated. …”

A screening strategy identified LsNHL10 as an important regulator of grafting-enhanced cold tolerance in bottle gourd by Haiyan Wang, Xiaohua Wu, Xiao Guo, Jian Wang, Min Wang, Xinyi Wu, Baogen Wang, Guojing Li, Pei Xu, Ying Wang

“…Tissue-specific profiling using RT-qPCR revealed that LsNHL10 was abundantly expressed in young leaves and subcellular localization confirmed it was localized to cell nucleus, cytoplasm and chloroplast. The functional analysis demonstrated that transient overexpression of LsNHL10 enhanced the cold stress tolerance of bottle gourd, whereas transient silencing weakened that. …”

Unlocking the Depths: Use of a Trait‐Based Approach to Reveal the Diversity of Foraging Strategies in a Deep‐Pelagic Fish Community by Liz Loutrage, Anik Brind'Amour, Benoit Simon‐Bouhet, Rachel Dubourg, Célina Chantre, Jérôme Spitz

“…Species in the epipelagic layer exhibited significant trait convergence, while species in the bathypelagic layer exhibited high functional trait diversity. High locomotor capacity may have been selected in the epipelagic layer, where light and food resources are higher, which could explain the pressure to possess traits adapted for a prey‐tracking strategy. …”
