Inattention and disordered gaming: does culture matter?
Objective: Problematic gaming has emerged as a contemporary concern, leading to the introduction of the diagnostic term 'Internet Gaming Disorder' (IGD; American Psychiatric Association). The present study aims to empirically assess the association between inattention and IGD, in the light of variable levels of vertical-individualism that reflects cultural inclinations towards independence, competitiveness, and hierarchy.
Method: The participants (N=1032) comprised a normative cohort of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) gamers (Mage=24 years; 48.7% male). IGD was measured with the nine-item shortform IGD Scale (IGD9-SF), inattention with the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Self-Report Scale, and vertical individualism with the Individualism-Collectivism Questionnaire. Complex hierarchical and moderated regressions were employed.
Results: Findings demonstrated an association between IGD and inattention, and additionally showed that this association was exacerbated by a more vertically-individualistic cultural orientation without significant gender differences.
Conclusion: The need of differentially addressing IGD risk among inattentive gamers of diverse cultural orientation is highlighted

GLYCOSYLATED FORMS OF NUCLEAR LAMINS
Chromatin and pore complex-lamina preparations were obtained from pig and chicken tissues, and their proteins were analysed by mono- and bidimensional electrophoresis. A glycosylated form of lamin A, recognized by concanavalin A, was shown to be present in at least 3 of the tissues examined. Glycosylation is suggested to be a further postsynthetic modification, besides phosphorylation and methylation, which can modify the properties of lamins
