The present study sought to examine the influence of aggressive behavior, psychopathy, and gender on moral judgments of aggressive transgressions. A two-dimensional conceptualization of aggression was used, such that proactive relational aggression, reactive relational aggression, proactive physical aggression, and reactive physical aggression were treated as distinct subtypes of aggression and also as distinct subtypes of moral judgments of aggression. Selleckchem KPT-330 Participants were 421 emerging adults (215 women). Self-report measures of aggression, psychopathy, and moral judgments were collected. Peer-reports of aggression and psychopathy were obtained from a randomly assigned subsample of 73 participants (46 women) for validity purposes. Unique associations were found between subtypes of aggression and corresponding moral judgments of the same subtypes. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.This article approaches the analytic of the "Muslim Question" through the prism of the discursive and conspiratorial use of demographics as an alleged threat to Europe. It argues that concerns about "Muslim demographics" within Europe have been entertained, mobilized, and deployed to not only construct Muslims as problems and dangers to the present and future of Europe, but also as calls to revive eugenic policies within the frame of biopower. The article begins by sketching the contours of the contemporary "Muslim Question" and proceeds with a critical engagement with the literature positing a deliberate and combative strategy by "Muslims" centered on birth rates-seen by these authors as a tactical warfare-to allegedly replace European "native" populations. The analysis continues by focusing on two images juxtaposing life and death as imagined within the replacement discourse, and that capture that discourse in powerful albeit disturbing ways. Finally, the article proposes reading the population replacement discourse as a deployment of biopolitics and one of its many techniques, namely, eugenics. © 2020 The Authors.

In the current study, we examined whether community violence exposure moderated the associations of maternal spanking with externalizing and internalizing behavior problems of young children. The sample used in this study was urban families and their children ages 3-5 (n = 2,472). We used fixed effects regression models, which yield stronger statistical control for baseline behavior problems, selection bias, and omitted variables bias. Mother's spanking was associated with elevated levels of both externalizing (β = .037, p less then .001) and internalizing (β = .016, p less then .001) behavior problems. Community violence exposure also predicted higher levels of externalizing (β = .071, p less then .01) and internalizing (β = .043, p less then .05) behavior problems. Community violence exposure did not moderate the associations between maternal spanking and behavior problems. Professionals working with families should promote the use of nonphysical disciplinary practices, regardless of the level of violence and crime in the community in which the family resides. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Successful use of oocytes from small follicles (SFs) is of great importance for animal embryo production and human in vitro fertilization with reduced hormone-related side effects. How in vitro meiotic arrest maintenance (MAM) increases the competence of oocytes is not clear. In this study, pig oocytes recovered from SF of 1-2 mm and medium-follicles (MF) of 3-6 mm in diameter from abattoir ovaries were treated by various MAM treatments to improve their competence. The results showed that 25 µM roscovitine or 1 mM db-cAMP efficiently blocked germinal vesicle breakdown in both SF and MF oocytes suggesting a similar cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) 1 level between the two oocyte groups. MAM with 15- and 25-µM roscovitine alone or with 1-mM db-cAMP improved competence of SF and MF oocytes, respectively, with a promoted chromatin configuration transition from surrounded nucleoli (SN) to re-decondensation (RDC) pattern that supported substantial gene transcription. However, MAM with db-cAMP alone or with higher concentrations of roscovitine did not improve oocyte competence, could not support an SN-to-RDC transition, and/or evoked a premature chromatin condensation (PMC) that suppressed gene transcription. Both CDK2 and CDK5 contents were higher (p less then .05) in MF than in SF oocytes. It is concluded that the competence of pig oocytes, particularly that of SF oocytes can be improved by MAM using a proper roscovitine concentration that promotes gene transcription by inhibiting CDK5 while letting CDK2 off to prevent PMC. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.BACKGROUND Damage control resuscitation, avoidance of dilutional coagulopathy, and increased blood component therapy reduce mortality after major trauma hemorrhage. Improved outcomes seen in recent warfare have placed whole blood as the preferred product for resuscitation of severe traumatic hemorrhage. As of 2018, flight physicians of the Israeli Airborne Combat Search and Rescue Unit (ACSRU) treat these patients with low titer cold-stored O-positive whole blood (LTCSO+ WB). Intraosseous (IO) is the preferred route if intravenous access is not available. To date, no study has described the administration of LTCSO+ WB via the IO route in the prehospital setting. CASE REPORT We present a case of whole blood transfusion via the IO route in a 30-year-old car accident patient who suffered major injuries and developed severe hemorrhagic shock. Intravenous access could not be obtained at the scene. En route, two units of LTCSO+ WB were administered, using an IO hand drill, and the patient's hemodynamic status improved.
