695/106 /y, while the mean incidence between 2004 and 2013 was 18.49/106 (P less then .0001). Mean age of diagnosis between 1994 and 2003 was 56.65 ± 0.9351, while between 2004 and 2013, it was 59.89 ± 0.5336 (P = .0012). Male to female (MF) incidence ratio in the years 1994-2003 and 2004-2013 was 23.2 and 31.8, respectively, reflecting increased incidence among males (P less then .0001). CONCLUSIONS The incidence of MG in Israel has increased significantly during the last decade, especially among males of older age. These findings may reflect an etiological role of an environmental factor, increased awareness, and increased longevity in general. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons A/S.

The study is designed to identify the degree to which being fun is uniquely associated with the peer status variables of likeability and popularity. METHOD Two studies of children in grades 4 to 6 (ages 9 to 12) are reported. The first involved 306 girls and 305 boys attending school in northern Colombia. The second involved 363 girls and 299 boys attending school in southern Florida. Students completed similar peer nomination inventories, once in the first study and twice (8 weeks apart) in the second. RESULTS In both studies, being fun was positively correlated with likeability and popularity. In the second study, being fun predicted subsequent changes in likeability and popularity, after controlling for factors known to be related to each. Initial likeability and popularity also predicted subsequent changes in perceptions of being fun. CONCLUSIONS Anecdotal evidence suggests that children are intensely focused on having fun. The findings indicate that this focus extends beyond the immediate rewards that fun experiences provide; some portion of peer status is uniquely derived from the perception that one is fun to be around. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Small extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, play multiple physiological roles. In neurodegenerative diseases, EVs can be pivotal in dispersing neuropathogenic proteins. This study investigates the role of neural stem cell (NSC)-derived EVs in a transgenic (Tg) mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Five weeks following treatment on 9-month-old APP/PS1 mice, the effects of NSC-derived EVs on cognitive behavior, mitochondrial function, sirtuin1 (SIRT1), synaptic function and morphology, quantification of amyloid-β (Aβ) level, and inflammatory response were investigated. The results showed that mice in the Tg-NSCs-ev group exhibited significant improvement in cognitive performance compared with Tg-Veh group. Furthermore, the expression of mitochondrial function-related factors (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α [PGC1α], nuclear respiratory factor 1 and 2 [NRF1 and 2], and fission 1 [Fis1]), SIRT1 as well as synaptic proteins (growth-associated protein 43 [GAP43], synaptophysin [SYP], post-synaptic density 95 [PSD95] and microtubule-associated protein 2 [MAP2]) were significantly higher in the Tg-NSCs-ev group, when compared with the Tg-Veh group. In addition, oxidative damage markers (anti-4-Hydroxynonenal [4-HNE] and anti-3 nitrotyrosine [3-NT]), inflammatory cytokines and the microglial marker (Iba1) were significantly lower in the Tg-NSCs-ev group, compared to the Tg-Veh group. Moreover, synaptic morphology was distinctly improved in the Tg-NSCs-ev group, whereas the Aβ level was not altered. Our study provides novel evidences that NSC-derived EVs enhanced mitochondrial function, SIRT1 activation, synaptic activity, decreased inflammatory response, and rescued cognitive deficits in AD like mice. © 2020 International Society for Neurochemistry.OBJECTIVE Educational track choices have far-reaching consequences because they are associated with long-term life success. Theoretical approaches and previous empirical research have nearly exclusively identified family background and achievement as determinants of these choices. Although students' educational track choices might fit their personality, individual differences in personality have not been explored. We investigated the effects of two personality aspects-RIASEC interests and Big Five traits-on hierarchically ranked track choices (vocational vs. general educational track), alongside family background and achievement. METHOD We used two German data sets (TOSCA 10 study N = 473; TOSCA study N = 4,218) focusing on choices between the general educational track (leading to higher educational attainment) and the vocational track (leading to work life) at two different stages in educational careers. We ran several multiple (logistic) regressions. RESULTS The results showed that certain aspects of students' personality matter for educational track choices. Accordingly, across both studies, students with high Investigative or Enterprising interests more often chose the general educational track, whereas students high on Social or Conventional interests more often chose the vocational track-after the Big Five personality traits, achievement, and family background were controlled for. The Big Five traits showed no or only small significant associations with educational track choices. CONCLUSION These findings underscore the importance of considering individual differences when investigating important life outcomes such as track choices. This article is protected by copyright.

These local climate variables, in particular temperature, may cause variations in nest orientation between different geographical areas. For example, in temperate regions, bird species that build enclosed nests tend to orient their nests towards the sun to increase the temperature inside the nests. On the other hand, in tropical regions, the nest entrances are directed away from the sun to avoid heating (Wiebe 2001, Burton 2007, Schaaf et al. 2018). In this way, birds achieve thermal conditions more conducive to incubation and offspring growth (McGowan et al. 2004, Mainwaring et al. 2014). This article is protected by copyright.
