    Abstract Glisoprenins C, D, and E, new glisoprenin derivatives, were isolated together with glisoprenin A from submerged cultures of the deuteromycete Gliocladium roseum HA190-95. All glisoprenins inhibited appressorium formation in Magnaporthe grisea on inductive (hydrophobic) surfaces. The compounds exhibited moderate cytotoxic, but no antifungal, antibacterial or phytotoxic activities.

    Abstract Background: As overdose rates increase for multiple substances, policymakers need to identify geographic patterns of substance-specific deaths. In this study, we describe county-level opioid and psychostimulant overdose patterns and how they correlate with county-level social vulnerability measures.
    Methods: A cross-sectional observational study, we used nationwide 2016-2018 restricted access Centers for Disease Prevention and Control county-level mortality files for 1,024 counties. We estimated quartiles of opioid and psychostimulant overdose mortality and provided estimates of their association with county-level Social Vulnerability Index (SVI) percentile.
    Results: There was high opioid and psychostimulant overdose mortality in the Middle Atlantic, South Atlantic, East North Central, and Mountain regions. The Central US had the lowest opioid and psychostimulant overdose mortality rates. Counties with higher SVI scores (i.e. higher social vulnerability) were significantly more likely to experience high opioid and high psychostimulant overdose (high-high) mortality. A 10-percentile increase in SVI score was associated with a 3.1 percentage point increase in the likelihood of being a high-high county (p < 0.001) in unadjusted models and a 1.5 percentage point increase (p < 0.05) in models adjusting for region.
    Conclusion: Our results illustrated the heterogenous geographic distribution of the growing concurrent opioid and psychostimulant overdose crisis. The substantial regional variation we identified highlights the need for local data to guide policymaking and treatment planning. The association of opioid-psychostimulant overdose mortality with social vulnerability demonstrates the critical need in impacted counties for tailored treatment that addresses the complex medical and social needs of people who use both opioids and psychostimulants.

    Title translation The confidence/significance level implies a certain cost ratio between type I error and type II error. An appeal for a stronger focus on decisiontheory in psychological assessment
    Abstract Die psychologische Einzelfalldiagnostik erfordert oft konkrete Entscheidungen, z. B. ob Personen in einem psychologischen Bereich "unterdurchschnittlich" sind. Alle deutschen Lehrbücher empfehlen, die Messunsicherheit von psychologischen Tests zu berücksichtigen, z. B. durch kritische Differenzen, Hypothesentests oder Konfidenzintervalle. Diese Empfehlungen ähneln jedoch Heuristiken ohne eine nachvollziehbare Begründung, wie das geeignete Signifikanz- oder Konfidenzniveau zu wählen ist. Die statistische Entscheidungstheorie ist ein mathematischer Rahmen, um rationale Entscheidungen zu treffen. Obwohl sie bereits früh in der Psychologie behandelt wurde, findet sie heute wenig Beachtung. Aus einer entscheidungstheoretischen Perspektive betrachtet, lassen sich die impliziten Annahmen aktueller Entscheidungsheuristiken aufzeigen. Die Verwendung zweiseitiger Hypothesentests und Konfidenzintervalle mit einem Signifikanzniveau von Alpha = 0.05 impliziert beispielsweise, dass Fehler 1. Art 39-mal schwerwiegender eingestuft werden als Fehler 2. Art. In diesem Artikel geben wir eine kurze Einführung in die Entscheidungstheorie und nutzen dieses Framework, um die Auswirkungen auf die derzeitige Praxis zu erörtern. Außerdem stellen wir eine Umfrage unter klinischen Neuropsychologinnen und -psychologen vor, die für ein Fallbeispiel ihre internen Kostenverhältnisse angaben. Obwohl die Kostenverhältnisse der Praktikerinnen und Praktiker variierten, wählte die Mehrheit weniger extreme Verhältnisse als die üblichen Heuristiken vermuten ließen. Wir argumentieren, dass die Einzelfalldiagnostik von einer expliziten Berücksichtigung entscheidungstheoretischer Implikationen profitieren würde und skizzieren mögliche zukünftige Forschungsrichtungen.

    Abstract Humans are unique among terrestrial mammals in our manner of walking and running, reflecting 7 to 8 Ma of musculoskeletal evolution since diverging with the genus Pan. One component of this is a shift in our skeletal muscle biology towards a predominance of myosin heavy chain (MyHC) I isoforms (i.e. slow fibers) across our pelvis and lower limbs, which distinguishes us from chimpanzees. Here, new MyHC data from 35 pelvis and hind limb muscles of a Western gorilla (Gorilla gorilla) are presented. These data are combined with a similar chimpanzee dataset to assess the MyHC I content of humans in comparison to African apes (chimpanzees and gorillas) and other terrestrial mammals. The responsiveness of human skeletal muscle to behavioral interventions is also compared to the human-African ape differential. Humans are distinct from African apes and among a small group of terrestrial mammals whose pelvis and lower limb muscle is slow fiber dominant, on average. Behavioral interventions, including immobilization, bed rest, spaceflight and exercise, can induce modest decreases and increases in human MyHC I content (i.e. -9.3% to 2.3%, n = 2033 subjects), but these shifts are much smaller than the mean human-African ape differential (i.e. 31%). Taken together, these results indicate muscle fiber content is likely an evolvable trait under selection in the hominin lineage. As such, we highlight potential targets of selection in the genome (e.g. regions that regulate MyHC content) that may play an important role in hominin skeletal muscle evolution.

    Abstract The number of cloud droplets per unit volume ( N d ) is a fundamentally important property of marine boundary layer (MBL) liquid clouds that, at constant liquid water path, exerts considerable controls on albedo. Past work has shown that regional N d has a direct correlation to marine primary productivity (PP) because of the role of seasonally varying, biogenically derived precursor gases in modulating secondary aerosol properties. These linkages are thought to be observable over the high-latitude oceans, where strong seasonal variability in aerosol and meteorology covary in mostly pristine environments. Here, we examine N d variability derived from 5 years of MODIS Level 2-derived cloud properties in a broad region of the summer eastern Southern Ocean and adjacent marginal seas. We demonstrate latitudinal, longitudinal and temporal gradients in N d that are strongly correlated with the passage of air masses over high-PP waters that are mostly concentrated along the Antarctic Shelf poleward of 60 ∘ S. We find that the albedo of MBL clouds in the latitudes south of 60 ∘ S is significantly higher than similar liquid water path (LWP) clouds north of this latitude.

    Abstract Purpose: The ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein-E gene has been associated with disease activity including Alzheimer disease, multiple sclerosis, and cardiovascular disease. Individuals who possess the ε4 variant of this gene (ε4 carriers) also demonstrate higher levels of cognitive impairment and lower motor scores compared with noncarriers. The purpose of this study was to establish whether there is a difference in motor cortex function between apoε4 carriers and noncarriers. We hypothesized that carriers would have lower levels of excitability and excitatory transmitter (glutamate) and similar levels of intracortical inhibition and inhibitory neurotransmitter (gamma-aminobutyric acid) than noncarriers.
    Methods: Fifty-two participants provided saliva samples to determine apoε4 carrier status. Measures of motor cortex excitability and inhibition were obtained using transcranial magnetic stimulation, and measures of glutamate and gamma-aminobutyric acid concentrations were obtained using proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
    Results: No significant differences in transcranial magnetic stimulation (P ≥ 0.19) or proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy measures (P ≥ 0.90) were found between carriers and noncarriers.
    Conclusions: The results from this study suggest that motor cortex function, as assessed by transcranial magnetic stimulation measures of excitability and inhibition, and MRS measures of excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitter are similar in those who possess an apoε4 allele and those who do not.

    Abstract Background: To interact successfully with their environment, humans need to build a model to make sense of noisy and ambiguous inputs. An inaccurate model, as suggested to be the case for people with psychosis, disturbs optimal action selection. Recent computational models, such as active inference, have emphasized the importance of action selection, treating it as a key part of the inferential process. Based on an active inference framework, we sought to evaluate previous knowledge and belief precision in an action-based task, given that alterations in these parameters have been linked to the development of psychotic symptoms. We further sought to determine whether task performance and modelling parameters would be suitable for classification of patients and controls.
    Methods: Twenty-three individuals with an at-risk mental state, 26 patients with first-episode psychosis and 31 controls completed a probabilistic task in which action choice (go/no-go) was dissociated from outcome valence (gain or loss). We evaluated group differences in performance and active inference model parameters and performed receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses to assess group classification.
    Results: We found reduced overall performance in patients with psychosis. Active inference modelling revealed that patients showed increased forgetting, reduced confidence in policy selection and less optimal general choice behaviour, with poorer action-state associations. Importantly, ROC analysis showed fair-to-good classification performance for all groups, when combining modelling parameters and performance measures.
    Limitations: The sample size is moderate.
    Conclusion: Active inference modelling of this task provides further explanation for dysfunctional mechanisms underlying decision-making in psychosis and may be relevant for future research on the development of biomarkers for early identification of psychosis.
