Objective: The current study explored the prevalence rates of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse as well as the relationship between abuse and mental health within the Jewish Orthodox nonmarried community.
Method: To reduce response bias, abuse and mental health measures were added to a larger survey that was being conducted in the area of dating. Participants responded to an abuse question and completed the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD-10), the Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7-item Scale (GAD-7), and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS).
Results: Of the 274 respondents, 29.2% endorsed emotional abuse, 13.5% endorsed sexual abuse, and 9.2% endorsed physical abuse. Participants that endorsed overall abuse scored significantly higher on the depression and anxiety inventories and significantly lower on the life satisfaction inventory compared with those that did not endorse abuse.
Conclusion: This study is helpful in garnering communal and clinical awareness regarding abuse prevalence and mental health risks among this insular population where those abused are at times shunned. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Type I Chiari malformation is a developmental anomaly with various proposed surgical techniques for its management. The dura-splitting technique is a less invasive approach and involves the resection of the outer layer of the dura while sparing the internal layer. While this less-known approach may minimize the complication rates, there are concerns about its efficacy and outcome. Therefore, we have performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of available data on clinical and radiological outcomes of this technique in the pediatric population and compared them to the foramen magnum decompression and duraplasty technique. We have followed the Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology guidelines in this review. Based on our predefined search strategy, we performed a systematic database search. Subsequently, the article screening process was done based on defined inclusion/exclusion criteria. Following the quality assessment of included studies, two authors performed data extraction. Finally, the extracted data were summarized and presented in form of tables. Forest plots were used to demonstrate the results of the meta-analysis. A review of 8 included studies consisting of 615 patients revealed the significant advantage of the dura-splitting technique in terms of shorter operation duration and hospital stay. The recurrence rate and clinical and radiological outcomes were almost similar between the two surgical techniques. Complication rates were significantly lower in the dura-splitting technique. Dura-splitting can be an effective and safe approach for the management of pediatric Chiari I malformation. However, these results are mostly extracted from observational studies and future randomized controlled trials are recommended.
I 型奇异畸形是一种发育异常，目前有多种治疗方法。硬脑膜分割技术是一种创伤较小的方法，包括切除硬脑膜外层，同时保留内层。虽然这种鲜为人知的方法可以最大限度地降低并发症的发生率，但其疗效和结果仍令人担忧。因此，我们对该技术在儿科人群中的临床和放射学结果进行了系统回顾和荟萃分析，并与枕骨大孔减压术和硬脑膜成形术进行了比较。我们在此次综述中遵循了流行病学观察性研究荟萃分析（Meta-analysis Of Observational Studies in Epidemiology）指南。根据预先确定的搜索策略，我们进行了系统的数据库搜索。随后，我们根据确定的纳入/排除标准对文章进行了筛选。在对纳入研究进行质量评估后，两位作者进行了数据提取。最后，我们对提取的数据进行了汇总，并以表格的形式呈现。森林图用于展示荟萃分析的结果。对 8 项纳入研究（包括 615 名患者）的回顾显示，硬脑膜分割技术在缩短手术时间和住院时间方面具有显著优势。两种手术方法的复发率、临床和放射学结果几乎相似。硬脑膜分割术的并发症发生率明显较低。硬脑膜切开术是治疗小儿 Chiari I 畸形的一种有效而安全的方法。不过，这些结果大多来自观察性研究，建议今后进行随机对照试验。

. Ophiocordyceps sphecocephala is an entomopathogenic fungus that infects wasps. In this report, the in vitro growth characteristics of Vietnamese Ophiocordyceps sphecocephala collected in Bidoup, Nui Ba, Lam Dong, Vietnam were investigated. The bioactivities of the cultivated mycelium were also studied. The data showed that O. sphecocephala had higher yield of mycelium in mushroom complete medium (MCM), malt yeast medium (MY) and Sabouraud dextrose and yeast extract medium (SDY). Yeast extract and silkworm pupa powder were the preferred nitrogen sources. Besides, O. sphecocephala could utilize various forms of hexoses such as glucose, fructose, sucrose, lactose, maltose, and starch as the carbon sources. The optimal pH for the growth of O. sphecocephala was 6.0. The ethanol extract of O. sphecocephala exhibited several bioactivities: the capacity to scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, the inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase and the cytotoxicity against MCF-7 (the breast cancer cell line), HeLa (the cervical cancer cell line), Hepa G2 (the liver cancer cell line), Jurkat (the leukemia cell line) and NCI H460 (the lung cancer cell line) with the highest effect on MCF-7, and the lowest effect on NCI H460. Our finding thus demonstrated a potential of employing O. sphecocephala mycelium in pharmacology.

. Alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) is a globally important leguminous fodder crop because of its high production and nutritional value. The investigation was conducted to determine an effect of 3-Indole Acetic Acid (IAA) and Gibberellic acid (GA3) on the alfalfa BC 3 hybrid at the breeding room of the institute of grassland science, Yangzhou University, Jiangsu Province, China. Plant height, stem diameter, leaves number per plant, leaf length, leaf width, leaf area, fresh shoot weight, and dry shoot weight were measured. The study used four different IAA and GA3 concentrations (0, 50, 75, and 100 mg L -1 ) with three replications in a completely randomized design. The results revealed that the use of IAA and GA3 was significantly effective in the growth of the alfalfa BC 3 hybrid at the two cutting times. The use of 25 mg L -1 IAA concentration was significantly improved the plant height, leaf width, and leaf area. Exogenous GA3 application significantly enhanced stem diameter, leaf length, leaf area, fresh shoot weight, and dry shoot weight, except for leaf width, which showed a non-significant difference but was higher than that in the control group. Thus, the application of GA3 (i.e., GA3 at 75 mg L -1 ) can be suggested for a higher yield of the alfalfa BC 3 hybrid.

. Rawdhat Abalworood in Al-Qassim region of Saudi Arabia is one of the most important rawdhats of this area. The present study provides insight of vegetation types, life forms, as well as floristic categories and species distribution, highlighting the ecological factors that influence species distribution. A total of 44 species representing 19 families of vascular plants were recorded. The dominating groups were Asteraceae and Brassicaceae, and the dominant life forms were therophytes and chamaephytes, displaying a typical desert life-form range. Two of the eighteen studied sites had the maximum species richness value of 15 species per plot. Five of the 18 sites studied had the lowest species richness assessing of 10 species per plot. The most frequent life form classes observed in Rawdhat Abalworood, Al-Asyah, Al-Qassim region were Therophytes (Th) and Chamaephytes (Ch), with 65.91% and 15.91%, respectively. Chorological analysis exhibited Saharo-Sindian (SA-SI) and Irano-Turanian-Saharo-Sindian (IR-TR+SA-SI) represented by 20.45% and 18.18, respectively. Chronologically, surveyed plant species were recognized into three categories; mono regional, bi regional, and pluri regional. The three chorological categories were represented by 31.81%, 50.0%, and 18.18%; respectively. Species diversity in terms of Margalef’s diversity index ( Figure 6A ) ranged between 1.6 to 2.6 with an average of 2.1 to 0.3, Shannon-Weiner diversity index ( Figure 6D ) showed close diversity levels as Margalef’s and ranged between 1.6 to 2.4 with an average of 2.1. Using CCA multivariate analysis effect of 6 environmental factors is distinguished upon vegetation. The CCA ordination revealed that the separation of Vegetation group III along the axis was influenced by Silt, WHC, OM, OC, and Clay, whereas VG II was substantially related to sand%.

. The biochar-palygorskite composite (BC/PAL) was synthesized and applied in the remediation of soil polluted by heavy metals. The efficiency of BC/PAL on the soil physicochemical property, the bioavailability and chemical fraction of Cd and Pb in the soil, the growth of the plants and heavy metals accumulation in maize ( Zea mays L.) were investigated by pot and incubation experiments. The data show that BC/PAL can greatly enhance the stability of Cd and Pb, facilitating their transition from labile to stable components. And the composite can also reduce the CaCl 2 -extractable Cd and Pb with a maximum reduction efficiency of 57.76% and 42.81%, respectively. The fresh weight of corn seedlings had a more than sevenfold increase and the accumulation of Cd and Pb in shoot and root parts decreased significantly. BC/PAL can effectively improve the contents of soil available nutrients, soil enzyme activity, and organic carbon content. It can significantly reduce the bioavailability and ecotoxicity of Cd and Pb in the soil. The biochar-palygorskite composites can be further investigated as an efficient

. The Yellow River Source Area (YRSA) in China is an important water yield and water conservation area in the Yellow River basin. Alterations in climate and landscape patterns have had a significant impact on the water yield and conservation services of the YRSA. In this study, we used a modified parameter water yield module of the InVEST model to calculate water yield and a modified equation to calculate water conservation in order to evaluate the spatiotemporal changes in water yield and water conservation services in the YRSA from 2000 to 2020. The results show that water yield and water conservation in the YRSA increased at rates of 14.72 mm/5a and 10.03 mm/5a, respectively, from 2000 to 2020, and both showed a decreasing pattern from southeast to northwest. Precipitation is the main driving factor of water ecosystem services in the YRSA. An appropriate increase in vegetation coverage is conducive to an increase in water yield and water conservation, and an increase in grassland and forest area has a positive impact on water yield and water conservation services. This study provides insights into high-quality development and water resource protection in the YRSA.

. A remote sensing strategy was investigated to evaluate how temperature and rainfall affect the deforestation of economically important tree species in Wudil, Kano Nigeria. The research was carried out in Wudil. To assess the vulnerability of the study area to desertification and the abundance of economic tree species. Landsat satellite products (Landsat 5, 7, 8. were used as the sources of remote sensing imageries. These products were sourced for intervals of ten years, from 1986 to 1999, 2006 to 2016, and 2020. Standardized temperature anomaly and precipitation index from 1986 to 2020 were analyzed using primary and secondary data obtained for information on temperature and rainfall, a hundred questionnaires were used to analyze how much anthropogenic activity has contributed to desertification in the area by looking at their socioeconomic activities, roads, and infrastructural development. To determine the quantity, distribution, growth, and yield of all the species, a transect of one square kilometer was surveyed using regional techniques in each of the four cardinal directions. Principal component analysis revealed that the activity variables and activity observations for 1999, 2006, 2016, and 2016 were all negative, while the years 1986 and 2020 were positive. Increased trends in temperature and decreasing trends in rainfall are evident using the Mann-Kendall analysis, with P-values of 0.0 and 0.003, respectively, which are smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. The main causes of drought and desertification vulnerability according to the findings include variations in the characteristics of rainfall, human activities, and overgrazing. More tree-planting initiatives should be encouraged, ideally making them an annual event in the study region.

A remote sensing strategy was investigated to evaluate how temperature and rainfall affect the deforestation of economically important tree species in Wudil, Kano Nigeria. The research was carried out in Wudil. To assess the vulnerability of the study area to desertification and the abundance of economic tree species. Landsat satellite products (Landsat 5, 7, 8. were used as the sources of remote sensing imageries. These products were sourced for intervals of ten years, from 1986 to 1999, 2006 to 2016, and 2020. Standardized temperature anomaly and precipitation index from 1986 to 2020 were analyzed using primary and secondary data obtained for information on temperature and rainfall, a hundred questionnaires were used to analyze how much anthropogenic activity has contributed to desertification in the area by looking at their socioeconomic activities, roads, and infrastructural development. To determine the quantity, distribution, growth, and yield of all the species, a transect of one square kilometer was surveyed using regional techniques in each of the four cardinal directions. Principal component analysis revealed that the activity variables and activity observations for 1999, 2006, 2016, and 2016 were all negative, while the years 1986 and 2020 were positive. Increased trends in temperature and decreasing trends in rainfall are evident using the Mann-Kendall analysis, with P-values of 0.0 and 0.003, respectively, which are smaller than the alpha value of 0.05. The main causes of drought and desertification vulnerability according to the findings include variations in the characteristics of rainfall, human activities, and overgrazing. More tree-planting initiatives should be encouraged, ideally making them an annual event in the study region.","PeriodicalId":7975,"journal":{"name":"Applied Ecology and Environmental Research","volume":"120 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136367330","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

. Alcoholic liver disease is a common liver disease caused by chronic alcohol consumption and is categorized into fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcoholic cirrhosis. This study aimed to examine the relationship between alcoholic liver disease and overweight in older adults, focusing on age and gender differences The study was designed as a retrospective age-matched case-control study using the Chang Gung Research Database (CGRD). The data of this study were collected from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2022. The subjects were aged over 65 years old with a primary diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease. The experimental group matched gender and age group to conduct a case-control study with a ratio of 1:2 for the control group. The relationship between overweight and alcoholic liver disease was analyzed by logistic regression. The study found that the prevalence of alcoholic liver disease was significantly higher in male than in female. The prevalence of overweight in male with alcoholic liver disease decreased with age distribution. For female, age did not matter much. However, among female aged 65 to 69 years, those who were overweight were more likely to develop alcoholic liver disease than those who were of normal weight. These findings provide guidance for population-specific prevention and treatment strategies and highlight the importance of weight control in aged 65 and over. Particularly in the aging population, attention to weight control and aging, as well as the development of alcoholic liver disease, may improve patient health and quality of life.
