be sensitive to interlayer coupling enabling the effective control of interlayer magnetism towards voltage switching spin filtering and transistor applications With the discovery of two-dimensional atomically thin magnets a good platform provides us to manipulate interlayer magnetism for the control of magnetic orders a less-known family of two-dimensional magnets possesses a bottom-up assembled molecular lattice and metal-to-ligand intermolecular contacts which lead to a combination of large magnetic anisotropy and spin-delocalization we report the pressure-controlled interlayer magnetic coupling of molecular layered compounds via chromium-pyrazine coordination Room-temperature long-range magnetic ordering exhibits pressure tuning with a coercivity coefficient up to 4 kOe/GPa while

hydrostatic pressure Since atomically thin samples are very attractive for understanding their intrinsic magnetic order such layer-dependent studies are still worth exploring once their large-size crystals are available for exfoliation room-temperature molecular layered magnets exhibit pressure-controlled magnetism with the coercivity coefficient dHc/dP up to 4 kOe/GPa The stoichiometry and composition-dependent magnetism reveal the alkali-metal reduction roles in the 2D metal-organic coordinated magnets The coercivity and magnetization show the large pressure tunability in molecular layered magnet due to the increased magnetic coupling from the Cr-pyrazine interlayers and the deformation of soft ligand pyrazine molecule spin crossover may occur as high-spin CrII (S = 2) transition to low-spin CrII (S = 1) state Electron transfer could also be possible within the intra- and interlayer of Cr-pyrazine while pressure induces charge redistribution between Cr and pyrazine by transferring charge from CrII to pyrazine for the formation of CrIII (S = 3/2) This electron transfer can be facilitated through the structural transformation of CrIII-Cl due to the pressure effect The alkali-metal reduction and hydrostatic pressure pave a pathway toward the understanding of room-temperature 2D magnetism in molecule-based systems 231.3 mg 1,2-dihydroacenaphtylene and some

completion When the precursor Cr(pyz)2Cl2 and lithium solution were mixed in the reaction cell The magnetic development of the precursor is monitored by continuous M-H measurement from the very beginning we present the in-situ M-H loops of LCPC magnet revealing the magnetic transformation during the reaction process Pressure-dependent magnetization at different temperatures and magnetic

To evaluate the effectiveness of relapse prevention (RP) as a treatment for internet gaming disorder (IGD). Three child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) units in Region Skåne, Sweden. The intervention, RP, is based on cognitive behavioral treatment (CBT) and was provided individually, comprising of five to seven 45-min sessions over a period of 5 to 7 weeks versus treatment as usual. Participants were assessed with Game Addiction Scale for Adolescents pre-treatment (GASA) (baseline), post-treatment (treatment group only), and 3 months after baseline (follow-up). The repeated measures ANOVA showed a significant interaction effect between treatment and time. Both the control group and treatment group lowered their mean GASA score from baseline to follow-up significantly, but the improvement was greater in the treatment group (mean difference in control group −5.1, p < 0.001, 95% CI = − 3.390 to −6.755, mean difference in treatment group −9.9, p < 0.001, 95% CI = −11.746 to −8.105). RP was found to be superior to treatment as usual in terms of reduction of IGD symptoms. Future research should address which aspects within a given treatment are effective, who benefits from treatment, in what aspects, and why.

Detailed methods are described in the trial protocol paper (20) In our protocol, we specified that our aim in this trial was to determine the effectiveness of RP as a treatment of not only IGD but also problem gambling (20) The results regarding gambling will be published separately The study was reviewed and approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Ref 2019-04797 Subsequent amendments have been approved (Ref 2021-05592-01 Participants were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to either intervention or control. For randomization, we applied a random allocation sequence using the ‘chit method’ by preparing 160 chits of paper indicating either control or treatment (21) Each patient was distributed to a condition (control or treatment) and the chit was not replaced if the patient dropped out of the study The control group received treatment as usual (TAU) at their home clinic It was not possible to blind either participants or supervising researchers to randomization allocation The participants were considered dropouts if they completed less than five sessions Participants assigned to the treatment group were administered RP over the course of five to seven sessions The intervention was provided individually at the respective CAP units or via video link and was led by a clinician The clinicians implementing the treatment were four licensed psychologists certified in accordance with the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare and one psychiatrist; all of them had competence in CBT The treatment consists of three parts: (1) setting goals in which the clinician examines the patient’s unwanted behavior mapping his/her motivation for change and goals with treatment; (2) understanding and identifying high-risk situations and problem behaviors; and (3) identifying future high-risk behaviors and early warning signals and consolidating the new activity schedule An important part of the treatment was theme- specific homework given at the end of each session to be discussed and evaluated at the next nor social services currently provide any treatment to children and adolescents who need help to stop or regulate their gaming behavior participants in the control group who received TAU received different interventions according to existing practice Treatments provided in the control group were counseling (n = 21) medication for ADHD (Methylphenidate n = 22 antidepressants (Sertraline n = 1) referral to other unit (n = 1) further psychiatric evaluation (n = 1) Some individuals (n = 3) were put on a waiting list and did not start treatment and some (n = 2) were discharged from CAP during the study period In addition to assessment regarding gaming behavior, basic demographics routinely recorded in the journal, such as gender, age, housing situations, and diagnosis, were collected. The treatment group was assessed with GASA regarding gaming (22) at baseline (before treatment) and at follow-up (3 months after baseline assessment) The control group were assessed with GASA at baseline and at follow-up Responses were given on a 5-point scale from 1 = never, to 5 = very often. An item was considered endorsed when rated 3 or higher (22). The scale produces two outcome measures: firstly, a continuous GASA score with a minimum of seven points to a maximum of 35 and secondly, categories of gamers (engaged, problem, and addicted gamers) in accordance with the core approach (24) Statistical analyses were performed in SPSS (IBM SPSS statistics version 27). Gender, housing situation, and diagnosis were recoded into binary variables (Yes = 1/No = 0). The least prevalent diagnoses were merged into a new variable labeled ‘other diagnosis’ (see Table 1) This variable included anxiety disorders (anxiety disorder other symptoms and signs involving emotional state and diagnoses primarily used during the psychiatric evaluation phase (observation for suspected mental and behavioral disorders examination and observation for unspecified reason observation following alleged rape or seduction examination and observation for unspecified reason) and at follow-up composed separate continuous variables used as outcome measures for ANOVA analysis The difference in score from baseline to follow up constituted another continuous outcome variable used in a linear regression analysis Individuals meeting every core criterion (16, 23–25) in GASA were categorized as ‘addicted gamers’ The respondents that endorsed two to three of the core criteria were categorized as problem gamers and those who endorsed all three of the peripheral criteria but not more than one of the core criteria were categorized as ‘engaged gamers’ some participants did not meet the criteria for either of the gaming categories and were labeled ‘<engaged gamers’ The mean GASA score at baseline and at follow-up was used in a repeated measure ANOVA to compare the change in mean value between control group and treatment group The treatment group was analyzed in a repeated measure ANOVA separately to compare the mean GASA score at baseline The mean difference in GASA score between baseline and follow-up (improvement) was used in an independent sample t-test of the difference between treatment group and control group to unable an estimate of the effect size The improvement in GASA score was also used as the dependent variable in a regression model to quantify the impact of treatment McNemar’s test was applied to compare the prevalence of gaming categories between baseline and follow-up in control group and treatment group separately Sample characteristics are shown in Table 1 One-quarter of the total sample was female and constituted 17% of the treatment group and 30% of the control group A majority were aged 13–15 years and the mean age was 14 years The distribution of cohabiting and separated parents was relatively even The most common diagnosis was ADHD followed by ADD 11% met the cut off for engaged gaming in the control group and none in the treatment group Problem gamers constituted 55 and 49% of the control and treatment group Addicted gamers constituted 35 and 51% of the control and treatment group The following analyses were checked for assumptions of equal variance and normality Changes in mean score from baseline to follow-up The linear regression model is reported in Table 2 The regression analysis showed that the treatment contributed significantly to a greater difference in GASA score from baseline to follow-up meaning that the improvement among those who underwent treatment was significantly greater the mean GASA score at baseline contributed significantly to the model; a high baseline score was positively associated to a greater improvement did not contribute significantly to any change in GASA score and neither did any of the most common diagnosis The treatment group was further analyzed separately in a repeated measure ANOVA to unable incorporation of the GASA score collected immediately after treatment. The mean score from baseline, post treatment and follow-up are visualized in Figure 3 As the post-treatment GASA score was missing for five individuals this analysis only included 43 participants The mean difference in GASA score was significant both between baseline and post-treatment (mean difference = 8.4 95% CI = −10.813 – −5.954) and from post-treatment to follow-up (mean difference = 2.0 95% CI = −3.612 – −0.481) McNemar’s test showed that the proportion of both problem and addicted gamers was significantly lower at follow-up in comparison to baseline in the treatment group whereas no difference was seen in the control group The present RCT evaluates RP as a treatment for IGD among children and adolescents ages 13–18 within the context of CAP in southern Sweden The participants were assessed regarding symptoms of IGD at baseline and at follow-up carried out 3 months after the initial screening the treatment group was also assessed regarding symptoms of IGD immediately after the treatment had been completed Both the treatment group and the control group improved regarding IGD symptomatology from baseline to follow-up children and adolescents exhibited significantly greater improvement in terms of their IGD the proportion of both addicted and problem gamers showed a significant decrease from baseline to follow-up in the treatment group whereas no difference was seen in the control group the model is specifically beneficial when it comes to IGD as the confrontation with triggers is particularly frequent considering young people’s constant access to gaming via smart phones previous comparable research is barely existent and the findings are not entirely clear-cut future research should address which aspects within the given treatment are effective The presented findings should be considered in the light of the study’s limitations. One limitation is the fact that the treatment group showed a higher GASA score than the control group at baseline, which might impact the relative efficacy of treatment. One could argue that an individual with greater gaming problems would show a greater improvement than an individual with less pronounced problems, representing a ceiling effect (36) when the baseline score was controlled for the effect of the treatment remained significant which supports the main findings in the study One other potential limitation is the absence of blinding which entails a risk that the participants in the control group experienced disappointment when they were informed that they had been randomized to a group that would not receive gaming-specific treatment Possibly this disappointment contributed to a reduction in improvement that might have been seen otherwise The fact that TAU could not be kept constant is another limitation The interventions in the control group differed due to the diversity in the sample and TAU was not given for a particular diagnosis but more non-specifically for each of the participants individual psychiatric problems This is the naturalistic setting of CAP Skåne As no specific treatment to date is provided targeting gaming behavior among adolescents within the Swedish CAP context this methodological approach was the most reasonable for us One other possible limitation is the fact that GASA applies to experiences with games over the last 6 months whereas the DSM-5 criteria for IGD concern the last 12 months (6). However, GASA is developed for adolescents specifically (22) and our clinical understanding and experience of youth gaming is that 6 months of destructive gaming is enough to cause negative consequences and a need for help and reflecting additional psychological health complaints used as secondary outcomes would have contributed valuable information on the potential range of effects of the treatment provided One could argue that the fact that each of the participants was diagnosed with a psychiatric condition might affect the generalizability of the results. However, this specific circumstance could also be considered as strengthening the external validity since psychiatric comorbidity, not least ADHD, is a known feature of IGD (1) Our results show that the given treatment appears to be effective in an actual clinical setting among individuals with psychiatric comorbidity who could be considered particularly difficult to treat the current study is to our knowledge the largest RCT to evaluate a CBT treatment for IGD among children and adolescents Relapse prevention was found to be superior to TAU in terms of reduction of IGD symptoms among children and adolescents in CAP clinics The present study adds to a research field still in its infancy with further evidence that CBT and specifically RP can be an effective treatment for IGD among children and adolescents The raw data supporting the conclusions of this article will be made available by the authors The studies involving humans were approved by the Swedish Ethical Review Authority (Ref 2019-04797 Subsequent amendments was approved (Ref 2021-05592-01 The studies were conducted in accordance with the local legislation and institutional requirements Written informed consent for participation was not required from the participants or the participants’ legal guardians/next of kin Written informed consent was obtained for every participant and caregivers’ consents were required for children younger than 15 years in concordance with Swedish regulations This work was supported by Swedish governmental funding of clinical research (ALF) We would like to thank Ola Hall and Eva-Lott Jönsson for their valuable support in developing the RP manual sponsored by the state-owned Swedish gambling operator Svenska Spel AH also has research funding from the research council of the Swedish state monopoly for alcohol EC has funding from the research council of Svenska Spel The authors alone are responsible for the content and writing of the paper The remaining authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest All claims expressed in this article are solely those of the authors and do not necessarily represent those of their affiliated organizations Any product that may be evaluated in this article or claim that may be made by its manufacturer is not guaranteed or endorsed by the publisher Association between internet gaming disorder or pathological video-game use and comorbid psychopathology: a comprehensive review Effect of addiction to computer games on physical and mental health of female and male students of guidance school in city of Isfahan PubMed Abstract | Google Scholar A cross-lagged study of developmental trajectories of video game engagement The relationship between electronic gaming and health and physical activity among males in Saudi Arabia 5.

As Matthias Küntzel explains in Nazi Propaganda in the Middle East and its Repercussions in the Postwar Period the text exaggerated and highlighted classically minimal episodes of anti-Jewish moments in the Quran to appear to be central themes in the religious text This propaganda disseminated among Muslims helped fuel the Jew-hatred on which Hitler would eventually capitalize The Egyptian-based publisher of Islam and Jewry was an associate of the mufti's and has been linked to facilitating relations between the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and German agents which allegedly was written in part by the mufti helped catalyze the rampant Jew-hatred in Egypt and fed into the Muslim Brotherhood's vigor to annihilate the Jewish state on the anniversary of the 1917 Balfour Declaration a wave of gruesome anti-Jewish pogroms swept Cairo Several Jewish institutions were burned down including the Ashkenazi synagogue in the Muski Quarter the extent of the mufti's war crimes was public knowledge The mobs who perpetuated the pogroms chanted slogans defending him and vowed to murder every Jew if he were to be captured Subscribe to Israel Hayom's daily newsletter and never miss our top stories The Muslim Brotherhood's ability to garner a massive mob to conduct such pogroms that year indicates that the Nazi ideology fueled and coordinated in part by al-Husseini had had a serious impact Jew-hatred remained so robust in Egypt that the country became a makeshift safe haven for Nazis a senior SS official nicknamed "Hitler's number one anti-Semite" for his work in Joseph Goebbels's Propaganda Ministry sought refuge there the Mufti himself facilitated Leer's entry into Egypt where he would oversee anti-Israel propaganda as head of the Institute for the Study of Zionism The author of dozens of books and articles published between 1932-1944 Leers was one of the most prolific anti-Semitic writers in Hitler's Third Reich According to recently declassified CIA documents the work that Leers began in Germany and continued in Egypt irrefutably links to the decades of violent Arab-Israeli relations that would dominate the region for years to come Some scholars argue that the mufti was more concerned with achieving power or gaining a foreign ally than with exterminating Jews Whether or not these alternative motivations played a part in his thinking is irrelevant He unquestionably emerged as the leading non-European aide for the Nazis and played a vital role in recruiting and training the SS soldiers whose main ambition was to secure Hitler's reign by systematically murdering Jews the marginalization of his contributions to the Nazi wartime efforts is ludicrous and sets a dangerous precedent Erasing him from Yad Vashem's exhibit also minimizes the history of how Nazi ideology was imported into the Muslim and Arab world where it festers in many corners of that world to this very day Ellie Cohanim is former Deputy Special Envoy to Combat Anti-Semitism at the U.S State Department and a senior adviser to the Combat Anti-Semitism Movement Maya Carlin is an analyst at Center for Security Policy Reprinted with permission from JNS.org Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed frustration with President Donald Trump’s actions in the Middle East...
