Donald Trump has already appointed three Supreme Court justices. In his second term, he could well have a chance to name two more, creating a high court with a Trump-appointed majority that could serve for decades.
Читать дальше...For the second time in eight years, Donald Trump defied the expectations of the “experts” and the ambitions of the ruling classes of Washington, D.C. James Bovard provides a brief tutorial on how Trump pulled off the impossible feat.
The Cathedral School for Boys sits at the uppermost corner of the landmarked Grace Cathedral Close block, adjacent to the apse end of the Cathedral. The two-story addition designed by our office is connected horizontally to the original 1960s school building and sits on top of an existing concrete expansion from 2009. Our design consists of a steel structure with a glass and aluminum curtain wall: the new addition was light enough to land on the existing structure without foundation upgrades,... Читать дальше...

Cyst nematodes use a stylet to secrete CLE-like peptide effector mimics into selected root cells of their host plants to hijack endogenous plant CLE signaling pathways for feeding site (syncytium) formation. Here, we identified ATHB8, encoding a HD-ZIP III family transcription factor, as a downstream component of the CLE signaling pathway in syncytium formation. ATHB8 is expressed in the early stages of syncytium initiation, and then transitions to neighboring... Читать дальше...

Both Metarhizium robertsii ARSEF 2575 (Mr2575) and Metarhizium anisopliae ARSEF 549 (Ma549) infect a range of insects whilst also interacting with plants; however, little is known about the traits that affect the competitive ability of different strains. We examined the interactions between Mr2575 and Ma549 in culture and during co-infection of plants (Arabidopsis thaliana) and insects. Mr2575 outcompetes Ma549 under nutrient-limiting conditions, including root exudates... Читать дальше...

In the United States, the general public typically disapproves of trophy hunting. Given the global ubiquity of the practice, its potential to benefit conservation when properly managed, and the substantial role played by American hunter-tourists, changing these attitudes can help to maintain the practice as a wildlife management tool. Existing trophy hunting communications, which are currently neither well-designed nor widely distributed, are unable to effectively do so. Читать дальше...

Governments worldwide have been striving to efficiently manage public rental housing. However, the stigma associated with public rental housing persists as a significant challenge. In response, the scattered-site public housing strategy has been introduced as an alternative to traditional large-scale rental housing. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of this strategy in reducing the stigma within Seoul metropolitan city. The empirical... Читать дальше...

Nurses, as healthcare professionals who frequently interact with older patients in clinical settings, play a crucial role in providing direct care and services to older patients. However, nurses caring for older patients often experience substantial physical and emotional exhaustion, which can trigger a loss of motivation, feelings of helplessness, and burnout. The current study, conducted in Korea, investigated the impact of ageism on burnout among clinical nurses. Читать дальше...

The goal of this research was to analyze the energy and environmental impact of KCL and K2SO4 production and provide recommendations for enhancing energy efficiency and environmental practices. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews at two potash plants and the CML methodology was employed to assess impact categories. Inventory data for production inputs were sourced from the Ecoinvent, BUWAL 250, and LCA Food DK... Читать дальше...

Body image dissatisfaction is consistently highlighted as a precursor for eating disorders, arising from several factors. One factor surrounds social expectations of being thin, which can be emphasised in certain physical activities, like dance. Whilst research is available for body image dissatisfaction among female dancers, literature has neglected the male demographic. The present study investigated seven predictors of body image dissatisfaction within male and female dancers... Читать дальше...

Positive relationships between the home literacy environment and children’s language and literacy development are well-established. However, existing literature has overlooked the potential contributions of the home music environment. Initial evidence indicates positive relationships between the home music environment and children’s emerging language and literacy skills, yet it remains unclear whether and how children’s home music and literacy environments may be related.

IntroductionUpper extremity deficits (UED) is a common and impactful complication among stroke survivors. Virtual reality (VR)-based rehabilitation holds potential for enhancing rehabilitation intensity and engagement by stimulating tasks. While several clinical studies have examined the effectiveness and safety of VR-based rehabilitation, there is a need for further research to improve consistency in outcomes.

The aim of this study is to explore the genetic characteristics of Guizhou Black goats and Meigu goats and their relationship to reproductive performance through population structure analysis, genetic diversity assessment, and selection signal analysis. Blood samples of 19 Guizhou Black goats and 11 Meigu goats were collected for whole-genome high-throughput sequencing. Using PCA and ADMIXTURE analyses, their population structure and genetic relationships were revealed.

BackgroundPatient safety is an essential component of healthcare quality. Despite enormous advances in medical knowledge, many adverse events continue to endanger patient safety. Although mixed-method studies are necessary to gain a deeper understanding of safety culture, few studies provide practical evidence of patient safety culture and associated factors in Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess patient safety culture and associated... Читать дальше...

Blind football players use head movements to accurately identify sound location when trapping a ball. Accurate sound localization is likely important for motor learning of ball trapping in blind football. However, whether head movements affect the acquisition of ball-trapping skills remains unclear. Therefore, this study examined the effect of head movements on skill acquisition during ball trapping. Overall, 20 sighted male college students were recruited and assigned to one of the following two groups... Читать дальше...
