Abstract:

Our research focused on men's and women's interpretations of homosexually and heterosexually promiscuous behavior. Study 1 involved 21 men and 21 women who rated perceived differences between homosexually and heterosexually promiscuous behavior following a discussion of impersonal sex in public restrooms. Men perceived the two types of promiscuous behavior as more different than did women. In Study 2, 41 men and 23 women rated their perceptions of the difference between homosexually and heterosexually promiscuous behavior without any prior discussion. No sex differences were found, though a significant correlation between age and rating was observed. Men and women may focus on different dimensions when evaluating sexual behavior.

Abstract:

This study investigated sex and physical attractiveness in evaluations of perceived promiscuous persons. Evidence for the double standard was expected, such that men would rate a promiscuous woman less favorably than women would rate a promiscuous man. University students (25 women and 24 men) viewed a photograph of an attractive or unattractive target and read fictitious information, including promiscuous sexual behavior, about the target. Analysis gave physical attractiveness effects and limited evidence for a reverse double standard. Women rated a promiscuous man more negatively than men rated a promiscuous woman.

Abstract:

Frequent hitters are compounds that are detected as a “hit” in multiple high-throughput screening (HTS) assays. Such behavior is specific (e.g., target family related) or unspecific (e.g., reactive compounds) or can result from a combination of such behaviors. Detecting such hits while predicting the underlying reason behind their promiscuous behavior is desirable because it provides valuable information not only about the compounds themselves but also about the assay methodology and target classes at hand. This information can also greatly reduce cost and time during HTS hit profiling. The present study exemplifies how to mine large HTS data repositories, such as the one at Boehringer Ingelheim, to identify frequent hitters, gain further insights into the causes of promiscuous behavior, and generate models for predicting promiscuous compounds. Applications of this approach are demonstrated using two recent large-scale HTS assays. The authors believe this analysis and its concrete applications are valuable tools for streamlining and accelerating decision-making processes during the course of hit discovery.

Abstract:

Promiscuous sex is a social issue that is now rampant and has implications on society that includes an alarming increase in premarital sex among adolescence, the increase in numbers of children out-of-wedlock, rising infidelity cases and divorce rates. To curb the problem of promiscuous sex, Islamic law has recognized the practice of fasting as a practical approach to control sexual desire and fornication. This paper intends to evaluate how the philosophy and practice of fasting in Islam help curb promiscuous sexual behavior. This study employs a qualitative research design using interviews, a content analysis approach that examined various materials sourced from primary and secondary data related to the topic under study. The documents encompass Holy al-Qur’an, al-Hadith, theses, books, and academic journal articles focusing on topics of fasting practice to curb promiscuous sex. Data gathered were grouped into codes, categories, and themes. Fasting is not just about suppressing hunger and thirst but includes restraining the self from doing things that are forbidden in Islam. Interestingly, the practice of fasting in Islam helped shaped human sexual behavior through the formation of spiritual, physiological and psychological aspects. The findings can be utilized by stakeholders especially in formulating rehabilitation modules for cases of promiscuous sex.

Abstract:

Introduction: Currently, teenagers have a permissive attitude towards unrestricted sexual behavior, this is due to the possibility of dating which facilitates this behavior, so good self-control is needed to prevent promiscuous sexual behavior. This study aims to determine the relationship between adolescent self-control and casual sexual behavior at SMKN 6 Pekanbaru. Method: This research uses a descriptive correlation design with a cross sectional approach. The research sample was 100 respondents taken based on inclusion criteria using probability sampling techniques with a simple random sampling method. This research uses a Likert questionnaire which is valid and reliable. The analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. Results: The majority of respondents had high self-control as many as 58 respondents (58.0%) and high levels of promiscuous sexual behavior as many as 63 respondents (63.0%). The results of statistical tests show that there is no relationship between adolescent self-control and casual sexual behavior with p value (0.987) alpha (0.05). Conclusion: Adolescent self-control does not have a significant relationship with casual sexual behavior. Recommendation: Education and evaluation is needed for students at SMKN 6 Pekanbaru about the negative impacts that can occur if they do not control themselves towards promiscuous sexual behavior.

Abstract:

Abstract The relationship between enzymes and substrates does not perfectly match the “lock and key” model, because enzymes act on molecules other than their true substrate in different catalytic reactions. Such biologically nonfunctional reactions are called “promiscuous activities.” Promiscuous activities are apparently useless, but they can be an important starting point for enzyme evolution. It has been hypothesized that enzymes with low promiscuous activity will show enhanced promiscuous activity under selection pressure and become new specialists through gene duplication. Although this is the prevailing scenario, there are two major problems: 1) it would not apply to prokaryotes because horizontal gene transfer is more significant than gene duplication and 2) there is no direct evidence that promiscuous activity is low without selection pressure. We propose a new scenario including various levels of promiscuous activity throughout a clade and horizontal gene transfer. STAY-GREEN (SGR), a chlorophyll a—Mg dechelating enzyme, has homologous genes in bacteria lacking chlorophyll. We found that some bacterial SGR homologs have much higher Mg-dechelating activities than those of green plant SGRs, while others have no activity, indicating that the level of promiscuous activity varies. A phylogenetic analysis suggests that a bacterial SGR homolog with high dechelating activity was horizontally transferred to a photosynthetic eukaryote. Some SGR homologs acted on various chlorophyll molecules that are not used as substrates by green plant SGRs, indicating that SGR acquired substrate specificity after transfer to eukaryotes. We propose that horizontal transfer of high promiscuous activity is one process of new enzyme acquisition.

Full text

Abstract:

Among species, parental behaviors vary in their magnitude, onset relative to reproduction, and sexual dimorphism. In deer mice (genus Peromyscus), while most species are promiscuous with low paternal care, monogamy and biparental care have evolved at least twice under different ecological conditions. Here, in a common laboratory setting, we monitored parental behaviors of males and females of two promiscuous (eastern deer mouse P. maniculatus and white-footed mouse P. leucopus) and two monogamous (oldfield mouse P. polionotus and California mouse P. californicus) species from before mating to after giving birth. In the promiscuous species, females showed parental behaviors largely after parturition, while males showed little parental care. In contrast, both sexes of monogamous species performed parental behaviors. However, while oldfield mice began to display parental behaviors before mating, California mice showed robust parental care behaviors only postpartum. These different parental-care trajectories in the two monogamous species align with their socioecology. Oldfield mice have overlapping home ranges with relatives, so infants they encounter, even if not their own, are likely to be closely related. By contrast, California mice disperse longer distances into exclusive territories with possibly unrelated neighbors, decreasing the inclusive fitness benefits of caring for unfamiliar pups before parenthood. Together, we find that patterns of parental behaviors in Peromyscus are consistent with predictions from inclusive fitness theory.

Abstract:

The causes of promiscuous sexual behavior are driven by various factors, including a lack of parental attention and control over children. Sex education in the family can be started from an early age and is carried out in simple language that is easy for children to understand. The aim of this research is to find out how much prevention efforts are made by families against free sexual behavior. This type of research is qualitative research using library research and field research methods. The results of this research show that religious education, discussion space, a healthy environment, social guidance, and parental example can be efforts to prevent free sexual behavior. Based on research, it can be concluded that the family has an important role in efforts to prevent promiscuous sexual behavior and that Islam does not ignore education related to sexuality.

Full text

Abstract:

Adaptive models predict that variation in the spacing of microtines during reproductive periods may reflect mating strategies linked to differences in habitat characteristics. Using spatial and morphological analyses, we aimed to assess the mating system adopted by a population of rock-dwelling snow voles, Chionomys nivalis (Martins, 1842), and its functional significance within high-mountain environments. Spacing data coincided with a pattern generally associated with promiscuous mating: males had largely overlapping home ranges, whereas female home ranges showed a very reduced or absent degree of overlap. In addition, ranges overlapped considerably between sexes. Males had significantly greater body mass than females, and the magnitude of this difference resembled more a promiscuous than a polygamous or monogamous species. Also, relative testis size of males was in the range reported for promiscuous voles. Our results fit the predictions made by food abundance and distribution optimality models, suggesting that mating strategies might be related to the habitat occupied by C. nivalis. In alpine rocky formations, vegetation is sparse and patchily distributed, and competing females could benefit from defending an exclusive territory. In turn, males might be unable to monopolize widely spaced females by defending exclusive territories, which may result in extensive overlap between their spatial ranges.

Abstract:

Few genetic studies have addressed patterns of paternity in promiscuous mammals. I used microsatellite DNA primers developed in the European rabbit to analyze paternity in the promiscuous snowshoe hare (Lepus americanus). Sixty-five offspring, their 12 mothers, and their 24 putative fathers were genotyped at seven polymorphic loci (322 alleles/locus). Paternal allele counts and likelihood-based paternity assignments confirmed that multiple paternity occurs in snowshoe hare litters. However, the estimated frequency of multiple paternity was lower than expected in an unstructured promiscuous mating system. A relatively low variance in male reproductive success indicated that no males dominated paternity. A few males did achieve significantly more paternities than average, largely by fathering one or two complete litters rather than a few offspring in many litters. The results suggest that successful multiple mating is limited among both male and female snowshoe hares. An important role for pre- and (or) post-copulatory competition is implied.

Abstract:

At the center of psychology of sexuality research problematics of the first decades of the twenty first century was the influence of information technologies and virtualization of culture on the weakening of restraint in sexual behavior. Promiscuous sexual behavior is associated with the demise of traditional family structures and marriage institutions, resuling in increasing health risk on the national scale. The risk group that calls for special attention is young people who are most actively using new technologies and at the same time experiencing a lack of skills in the area of emotional and behavior regulation. Researches in this area try to identify factors behind youth promiscuity: a link between such behavior and increased environmental stresses and unsafe parenting styles have been established. Studies in recent years have, for the first time, revealed a link between the unrestricted use of communication technologies and the choice of promiscuous sexual behavior among young people. It was also established that such sexual behavior was linked to distress, increased risks of sexual harassment and harm to physical health in this age group. The data obtained in these recent studies indicate the presence of a complex problem associated with the psychosexual development of young people, set the task of possible ways to regulate as well as foster self- regulation of sexual behavior adolescence.

Abstract:

Abstract Directional asymmetry in gonad size is commonly observed in vertebrates and is particularly pronounced in birds, where the left testis is frequently larger than the right. The adaptive significance of directional asymmetry in testis size is poorly understood, and whether it extends beyond the testes (i.e. side-correspondent asymmetry along the reproductive tract) has rarely been considered. Using the Maluridae, a songbird family exhibiting variation in levels of sperm competition and directional testis asymmetry, yet similar in ecology and life history, we investigated the relative roles of side-correspondence and sperm competition on male reproductive tract asymmetry at both inter- and intraspecific levels. We found some evidence for side-correspondent asymmetry. Additionally, sperm competition influenced directional asymmetry at each end of the reproductive tract: species experiencing higher levels of sperm competition had a relatively larger right testis and relatively more sperm in the right seminal glomerus. Within red-backed fairy-wrens (Malurus melanocephalus), auxiliary males had relatively more sperm in the left seminal glomerus, in contrast to a right-bias asymmetry throughout the reproductive tract in breeding males. Given that the number of sperm is important for competitive fertilization success, our results suggest that sperm competition shapes reproductive asymmetries beyond testis size, with likely functional consequences for male reproductive success.

Abstract:

This study examines the self-harming behavior of some university students and determines the types of self-harming behavior these students engage in. A self-report questionnaire on self-harm was used in this study for 319 students. Results of the study show that the most common self-harming behaviors exhibited by the students were banging the head, abusing alcohol, cutting the self, hitting the self, and scratching the self on purpose, while the least common self-harming behaviors include torturing the self with self-defeating thoughts, being promiscuous, distancing self from God as punishment, driving recklessly on purpose, and engaging in emotionally abusive relationships. There is no significant difference in terms of gender among males and females who engaged in self-harming behaviors. However, exploratory analysis identifies significant mean differences in self-harming behaviors between students from different programs. It is recommended that an intervention program should be prepared in order to protect the mental health of the respondents and the university students in general.

Abstract:

Background: While a number of previous studies have examined limited forms of self-harm behavior, such as suicidal ideation/attempts/completions, or one specific behavior such as cutting or burning oneself (most frequently in psychiatric populations), few studies have examined the lifetime prevalence of multiple self-harm behaviors in a single non-psychiatric population and no study has done so among obstetrics/gynecology outpatients. Method: Using a cross-sectional consecutive sample of 370 women presenting to an obstetrics/gynecology outpatient clinic and a self-report survey methodology, we examined the lifetime prevalence of 22 self-harm behaviors. Results: In this sample, the most frequently self-reported self-harm behaviors were: engaged in emotionally abusive relationships (24.7%), abused alcohol (22.0%), been promiscuous (21.0%), attempted suicide (18.3%), and tortured self with self-defeating thoughts (16.7%). Four of these preceding behaviors were also the most commonly reported 5 of 22 behaviors in 3 previous studies of self-harm behavior in different clinical populations. Conclusions: It appears that the most frequently reported lifetime self-harm behaviors are relatively common across various non-psychiatric clinical populations of adults, albeit in different proportions, with some exceptions (i.e., suicide attempts in the present sample).

Full text

Abstract:

Malevolent character traits (i.e., the Dark Triad: Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) are associated to emotional frigidity, antagonism, immoral strategic thinking, betrayal, exploitation, and sexual promiscuity. Despite the fact that character is a complex adaptive system, almost every study has solely investigated the linear association between malevolent character and attitudes towards both swearing and sociosexual orientation (i.e., behavior, attitude, and desire regarding promiscuous sexual behavior). In contrast, the aim in this set of studies was to evaluate these associations in relation to specific profiles of malevolent character (i.e., the Dark Cube). In two studies participants responded to the Dark Triad Dirty Dozen, the Taboo Words’ Offensiveness and Usage Inventories (i.e., attitudes towards 30 swear words’ level of offensiveness and usage) (Study 1: N1 = 1,000) and the Sociosexual Orientation Inventory Revised (Study 2: N2 = 309). Participants were clustered according to all eight possible combinations based on their dark trait scores (M/m = high/low Machiavellianism; N/n = high/low narcissism; P/p = high/low psychopathy). The results of this nonlinear approach suggested that the frequent usage, not level of offensiveness, of swear words was associated to Machiavellianism and narcissism. In other words, individuals with high levels in these traits might swear and are verbally offensive often, because they do not see swearing as offensive (cf. with the attitude-behavior-cognition-hypothesis of taboo words; Rosenberg, Sikström & Garcia, 2017). Moreover, promiscuous sociosexual attitude and desire were related to each dark trait only when the other two were low. Additionally, promiscuous sociosexual behavior was not associated to these malevolent character traits. That is, individuals high in the dark traits are willing to and have the desire to engage in sexual relations without closeness, commitment, and other indicators of emotional bonding. However, they do not report high levels of previous sexual experience, relationships, and infidelity. Hence, they approve and desire for it, but they are not actually doing it. The use of person-centered and non-linear methods, such as the Dark Character Cube, seem helpful in the advancement of a coherent theory of a biopsychosocial model of dark character.

Abstract:

AbstractKnowledge on the reproductive biology of target insect pest is essential for the effective implementation of pheromone-based pest management tactics. In mealybugs, the second largest family of scale insects, the existence of female multiple mating was recently suggested. In this study, we aimed at testing how general is this behavior in mealybugs, by investigating polygyny and polyandry in two cosmopolitan pest mealybugs, Planococcus citri and Pseudococcus calceolariae. Males of these species were able to mate an average of 11.9 and 13.3 females, respectively, during their lifespan. The number of fertilized females per male decreased with male age/mating history for both mealybugs. We found no differences in female fecundity and fertility, when fertilized by males with different mating history. When we used male age as a proxy of mating history, we observed a significant negative effect on female fecundity. The females of both species remained receptive after first copula and eventually mated multiple times. The percentage of remated females of P. citri decreased linearly with time since first copula, with some maintaining receptivity up to 24 h. Males showed no preference between virgin and mated females, in static-air olfactometer tests. We found no benefit of female multiple mating in relation to fecundity. In biparental mealybugs, the mating system of males is possibly scramble competition polygyny; and that of females is possibly polyandry, with female receptivity restricted to a relatively short period. We discuss the practical implications of the results for pest management.

Abstract:

AbstractBreeding synchrony with the lunar cycle has been reported for many marine organisms but is essentially unknown for birds. Most organisms shown to breed synchronously with the lunar cycle provide no parental care to young, and such explosive breeding assemblages are usually promiscuous. Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows (Ammodramus caudacutus caudacutus) nest exclusively on salt marshes and are subjected to predictable, catastrophic flooding caused during flood tides every 28 days. Here, we show that Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow males were nonterritorial and promiscuous and provided no parental care to young. Breeding behaviors of both sexes were synchronized with the lunar cycle. By contrast, males of a sympatric sister species, Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrow (A. nelsoni subvirgatus), consistently mate-guarded females, and breeding was not synchronized with the lunar cycle, yielding 21% lower reproductive success compared with Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows. Saltmarsh and Nelson's sharp-tailed sparrows renested 2.9 ± 0.6 (SE) days and 10.3 ± 1.7 days after nest flooding, respectively. Patterns of vicariance between Nelson's and Saltmarsh sharp-tailed sparrows may explain the differences in social behavior and nesting ecology. Ancestral sharp-tailed sparrows diverged from Seaside Sparrows (A. maritimus) in tidal wetlands, and Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows then diverged from Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows in nontidal freshwater wetlands of interior North America. Nelson's Sharp-tailed Sparrows' range recently expanded into coastal salt marshes, where Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrows are better adapted to tidally influenced inundations. Adaptation to tidal flooding partially explains the evolution of the unique Saltmarsh Sharp-tailed Sparrow mating system.Las Inundaciones Mareales Afectan la Ecología Reproductiva de Dos Especies Simpátricas de Ammodramus

Full text

Abstract:

Formyl peptide receptors, abbreviated as FPRs in humans, are G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs) mainly found in mammalian leukocytes. However, they are also expressed in cell types crucial for homeostatic brain regulation, including microglia and blood–brain barrier endothelial cells. Thus, the roles of these immune-associated receptors are extensive, from governing cellular adhesion and directed migration through chemotaxis, to granule release and superoxide formation, to phagocytosis and efferocytosis. In this review, we will describe the similarities and differences between the two principal pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory FPRs, FPR1 and FPR2, and the evidence for their importance in the development of neuroinflammatory disease, alongside their potential as therapeutic targets.

Abstract:

Adolescence is a period of rapid growth and development both physically, psychologically and intellectually. The typical nature of teenagers is that they have a great sense of curiosity, like adventure and challenges and tend to be brave enough to take risks in their actions without prior careful consideration. If the decisions taken in dealing with conflict are inappropriate, they will fall into risky behaviour and may have to suffer short-term and long-term consequences in various physical and psychosocial health problems. The nature and risky behaviour of adolescents requires the availability of caring adolescent health services that can meet the health needs of adolescents, including services for reproductive health. The aim of this community service activity is to increase teenagers' knowledge about preventing teenage pregnancy so that it can reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy. This health education was carried out via online zoom meeting. This activity is education about preventing pregnancy in teenagers targeting high school and vocational school students in the Surabaya, Sidoarjo and Gresik regions Education attended by 122 teenagers. Before the counselling was carried out, questionnaires were distributed online via Google form. Results were obtained from 122 participants consisting of 54 (44%) high school students, while 68 (56%) were students, of which 13 (10%) % had not received Sex education. And after conducting health education, it was found that 105 (86%) of respondents' knowledge data was good. The influence of the environment, social media, cultural acculturation, and adolescent knowledge is one of the causes of promiscuous sexual behavior. The active role of parents, teachers and the community is needed to invite and provide motivation as well as health education to increase teenagers' knowledge in preventing the occurrence of promiscuous sex so that teenagers can behave more appropriately.
