  3. Article: Political Hearts of Darkness: The Dark Triad as Predictors of Political Orientations and Interest in Politics.

    Bell, Edward / Kowalski, Christopher Marcin / Vernon, Philip Anthony / Schermer, Julie Aitken

    Abstract Background: This study investigated the relationships between the Dark Triad of personality (sub-clinical psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism) and four political variables: socio-religious conservatism, support for greater economic equality, overall liberal-conservative orientation, and interest in politics. A theoretical approach that focused on the influence of the Dark Triad in large groups was provided to interpret those relationships. Methodological issues found in previous research that related to the use of abbreviated scales to measure the dark traits and the use of unidimensional indicators of political orientations were addressed.
    Methods: A hierarchical regression analysis was conducted to determine whether any of the three dark traits could explain variance in the aforementioned political attributes over and above that accounted for by the Big Five, sex, age, and nationality, using the full personality scales and measures of political orientation that captured both social and economic liberalism-conservatism.
    Results: Machiavellianism uniquely predicted lower levels of socio-religious conservatism, and both Machiavellianism and narcissism uniquely predicted lower levels of overall conservatism.
    Conclusions: There were important links between the Dark Triad and politics.

    Abstract Originally published in 1953 this book provided the first comprehensive account of methods of personality assessment by a British author. It starts with a short survey of personality theory, pointing out the difficulties in any method of testing or assessment. Next it describes the weaknesses of the common interview method. (Throughout the emphasis is on methods which are usable in educational or vocational guidance and selection, not on methods which are mainly of scientific interest.) Thereafter it takes up each main type of technique - tests based on physique or psychological measures, on e

    Series title Psychology Revivals
    Abstract

    Originally published in 1969, Intelligence and Cultural Environment looks at the concept of intelligence and the factors influencing the mental development of children, including health and nutrition, as well as child-rearing practices. It goes on to discuss the application of intelligence tests in non-Western countries and includes both British and cross-cultural studies to illustrate this.

    Inevitably a product of the time in which it was written, this book nonetheless makes a valuable contribution to intelligence theory as we know it today.

    Abstract Significance: Phagocytosis is required for the clearance of dying cells. The subsequent regulation of inflammatory responses by phagocytic cells is mediated by both innate and adaptive immune responses. Autophagy, an evolutionarily ancient process of lysosomal self-digestion of organelles, protein aggregates, apoptotic corpses, and cytosolic pathogens, has only recently become appreciated for its dynamic relationship with phagocytosis, including newly discovered autophagic-phagocytosis "hybrid" processes such as microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-associated phagocytosis (LAP).
    Recent advances: Signal transduction by reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a critical role in the modulation of autophagy, phagocytosis, and LAP, and serves as both a link and an additional layer of regulation between these processes. Furthermore, specific targets for oxidation by ROS molecules have recently begun to become identified in each of these processes, as have "shared" proteins that facilitate the successful completion of both autophagy and phagocytosis. High mobility group box 1 is at the crossroads of autophagy, phagocytosis, and oxidative stress.
    Critical issues: In this review, we discuss the most recent findings that link elements of autophagy and phagocytosis, specifically through redox-dependent signal transduction. These interconnected cellular processes are placed in the context of cell death and immunity in both health and disease.
    Future directions: Given the broad roles that autophagy, phagocytosis, and ROS signaling play in human health, disease, and the maintenance of cellular and organismal homeostatic balance, it is important to delineate intersections between these pathways and uncover targets for potential therapeutic intervention in the setting of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

    Abstract The phenotypic (observed), genetic, and environmental correlations were examined in a sample of adult twins between the four factors and global score of the trait emotional intelligence questionnaire (TEIQue) and the seven vocational interest factors of the Jackson Career Explorer (JCE). Multiple significant correlations were found involving the work style vocational interest factor (consisting of job security, stamina, accountability, planfulness, and interpersonal confidence) and the social vocational interest factor (which included interests in the social sciences, personal services, teaching, social services, and elementary education), both of which correlated significantly with all of the TEIQue variables (well-being, self-control, emotionality, sociability, and global trait EI). Following bivariate genetic analyses, most of the significant phenotypic correlations were found to also have significant genetic correlations as well as significant non-shared (unique) environmental correlations.

  10. Article ; Online: Generation of complement molecular complex C5b-9 (C5b-9) in response to poly-traumatic hemorrhagic shock and evaluation of C5 cleavage inhibitors in non-human primates.

    Abstract Severe trauma initiates a systemic inflammatory cascade and that involves early activation of complement and cleavage of C5 into C5a (anaphylatoxin) and C5b (C5b-9 membrane attack complex). We examined activation of C5 in non-human primate (NHP) models of hemorrhagic shock. Blood plasma concentrations of C5b-9 were significantly increased in NHPs in response to hemorrhage alone and were further increased with the addition of tissue trauma. The onset of increased C5 cleavage was accelerated in NHPs that experienced decompensated poly-traumatic hemorrhagic shock. Next, to identify an effective inhibitor of NHP C5 cleavage in vitro, as a first step in the development of a potential therapy, three inhibitors of human C5 cleavage and hemolysis were tested in vitro. NHP C5 cleavage and complement-mediated hemolysis were successfully inhibited by pre-treatment of serum samples with a small, inhibitory peptide RA101348. Commercially-available C5 inhibitory antibodies were found to exhibit species-specific efficacy in vitro. Quidel's A217 antibody demonstrated dose-dependent inhibition of C5 cleavage and hemolysis in NHP samples, whereas LGM-Eculizumab only inhibited complement-mediated hemolysis in human samples. This study shows that complement activation in NHPs following experimental poly-traumatic hemorrhagic shock is consistent with clinical reports, and that cleavage of C5 and complement-mediated hemolysis can be effectively inhibited in vitro using a small peptide inhibitor. Taken together, these findings offer a clinically-relevant vehicle and a potential strategy for treatment of hemorrhagic shock with poly-traumatic injury.
