Summary: In 1983, Benjamin Libet and colleagues published a paper that challenged the idea that conscious intention to move comes before the brain's preparation for movement. This experiment sparked debates about intention, the neurophysiology of movement, and philosophical and legal notions of free will and moral responsibility. This review explores the concept of conscious intention and efforts to measure its timing. The Bereitschaftspotential, scalp electroencephalographic activity before movement, starts before the reported onset of conscious intent, but its interpretation remains controversial. Studies suggest that the Libet method for determining intent, W time, is not accurate and may lead to misleading results. It is concluded that intention has various aspects and despite a better understanding of how the brain generates movements, determining the time of conscious intention remains a challenge.

Summary: The study found that TLE patients had greater forgetting of verbal information at the 10-minute interval compared to healthy controls, but no significant differences were observed at other time intervals or tasks. Additionally, there were no differences found after controlling for clinical epilepsy-related variables. This suggests that a late consolidation process may not be impaired in TLE patients.

Summary: This paper provides a theoretical framework to understand the causes, consequences, and mitigation of rework in construction. It emphasizes the importance of creating an error-mastery culture in construction organizations and projects. The paper also suggests that implementing techniques and tools, such as the Last Planner and building information modeling, can further help address rework.

Summary: This study numerically investigates the occurrence of Schwinger preheating in different inflation models and finds that it only occurs when there is a sufficiently large coupling between the inflaton and photons in the Starobinsky inflation model.

Summary: Digital tools are increasingly important in livestock farming, particularly in dairy cattle husbandry. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) combines sensors, algorithms, and interfaces to optimize animal production, health, and welfare. While some PLF systems are already widely used, others are still waiting for practical application. Scientific evidence on the effectiveness of PLF is currently limited.

Summary: Pain after surgery has negative effects on patient outcome. With the increase in less invasive surgical procedures and rapid discharge, it is important to re-evaluate analgesic strategies. This review highlights the complexity of surgical pain management and emphasizes the importance of a multimodal approach.

Summary: This research investigates the diurnal patterns of work-family conflict episodes among working adults, analyzing samples collected every two hours over three consecutive days. The study explores the timing of these conflicts throughout the day and examines daily and weekly transitions as predictors of conflict occurrence. The results indicate that work-family conflict can occur at any time of day, with distinct patterns for family-to-work conflict. The timing of work-family conflict can be predicted by temporal and spatial transitions, scheduled work times, and evening transition times. The study supports both spillover and attributional perspectives for self-reported transitions, but only spillover rationale for scheduled transitions. The findings suggest that temporal transitions and rapid transitions are strong correlates of work-family conflict episodes. Role flexibility and permeability do not modify the relationship between transition occurrence and conflict occurrence. This research provides valuable theoretical and practical insights into the timing of work-family conflict episodes, and offers a rigorous test of boundary theory.

Summary: This study investigates imperfect courtship synchrony in fiddler crabs and finds that courtship effort is not directly related to male size, while a faster wave rate is correlated with both leadership and synchrony.

Summary: The study found that anchoring effects only occur when both numerical and semantic priming stimuli are presented together. When a number is presented alone or when phrases are used to induce semantic priming without presenting a number, anchoring effects do not occur.

Summary: The non-coding repeat expansion in the C9ORF72 gene is the most common cause of frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. After a decade of research, it has been found that the toxic accumulation of gain-of-function products and the loss of function may both contribute to the disease.

Summary: This study explores neighborhoods in Southern California that exhibit persistent racial diversity from 1980 to 2010 and the consequences of this diversity. The findings suggest that PRD neighborhoods experienced greater improvement in per capita income and poverty rates compared to non-PRD neighborhoods with similar characteristics. Additionally, the study reveals that there are multiple pathways through which racial/ethnic diversity can persist over a long time period at the neighborhood level.

Summary: Early identification and treatment of coagulopathy is crucial in managing postpartum hemorrhage to improve outcomes. Viscoelastic hemostatic assays provide detailed information and guidance for treatment. Monitoring coagulation profile and response to hemostatic support are essential when these assays are not available.

Summary: In chronic infections and cancer, persistent antigen stimulation can lead to T-cell exhaustion, with CD4 T-cell exhaustion being less studied but potentially clinically relevant in orchestrating immune responses and disease severity. Understanding phenotypic exhaustion in CD4 T cells and its impact on immune responses and disease severity is crucial for identifying novel therapeutic targets in cancer.

Summary: Despite predominantly selfing, the natural population of M. truncatula displays variation in residual outcrossing rate, likely under a complex determinism combining environmental and genetic factors. The study found a small increase in outcrossing rate at the end of the flowering season and detected significant between genotypes variation in selfing rate, indicating a heritability of 9% for the rate of residual outcrossing.
