COMPARISON OF THE VIDEO GAME FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT-REVISED (VGFA-R) AND INTERNET GAMING DISORDER TEST (IGD-20)

Comparison of the Video Game Functional Assessment-Revised (VGFA-R) and Internet Gaming Disorder Test (IGD-20)

Initially labeled as internet addiction in the mid-1990s (e.g., Griffiths, 1996; Young, 1996), researchers have since focused on how specific online activities result in negative consequences for those who overuse and have problems with online applications such as online gambling and online sex (Griffiths, 2000; Potenza, 2017).More recently, this h

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of ADP-ribosylation factors associated with biotic and abiotic stress in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

The ARF gene family plays important roles in intracellular transport in eukaryotes and is involved in conferring tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses in plants.To explore the role of these genes in the development of wheat Volume Inflator (Triticum aestivum L.), 74 wheat ARF genes (TaARFs; including 18 alternate transcripts) were identified and

Quinoline Biodegradation by Bacillus Licheniformis Strain CRC-75

A bacterial culture was isolated from oil-contaminated soil based on its ability to metabolize the quinoline as the sole source of nitrogen.In this research Bacillus licheniformis strain was identified based on the result of 16S rRNA analysis.Optimized conditions were obtained with full factorial experimental design method using design expert softw

A novel spreading dynamic based on adoption against the trend

In the spreading dynamics of previous fashion trends, adoption researchers have neglected to consider that some individuals may behave differently from popular tendencies, which is called opposite-trend adoption behavior.To explore the dissemination mechanisms of the behavior, we first establish the adoption-against-trend model.Additionally, an edg
