- Animal Welfare Attitudes (AWA) are defined as human attitudes towards the welfare of animals in different dimensions and settings. Demographic factors, such as age and gender are associated with AWA. The aim of this study was to assess gender differences among university students in a large convenience sample from twenty-two nations in AWA. A total of 7914 people participated in the study (5155 women, 2711 men, 48 diverse). Participants completed a questionnaire that collected demographic data, typical diet and responses to the Composite Respect for Animals Scale Short version (CRAS-S). In addition, we used a measure of gender empowerment from the Human Development Report. The largest variance in AWA was explained by diet, followed by country and gender. In terms of diet, 6385 participants reported to be omnivores, 296 as pescatarian, 637 ate a vegetarian diet and 434 were vegans (n = 162 without answer). Diet was related with CRAS-S scores; people with a vegan diet scored higher in AWA than omnivores. Women scored significantly higher on AWA than men. Furthermore, gender differences in AWA increased as gender inequality decreased. © 2021 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland.

- LuPO4 in the form of nano-powders can find potential application in bio-imaging and luminescence thermometry. To enable development of functional materials there is a need to acquire basic information about the effect of morphology and grain size on spectroscopic properties. So, we investigated a series of Nd3+-doped LuPO4 nanoparticles prepared with task-specific ionic liquid as the reactant and in-situ stabilizer. Thus, fast and facile preparation of the desired well-crystallized single-phase phosphate nanomaterials was possible. The XRD patterns and TEM analysis revealed the influence of the synthesis conditions on the morphology and nanoparticles size, which is reflected in their spectroscopic properties. Low-temperature high-resolution techniques i.e. absorption spectroscopy at 4.2 K and laser site-selective spectroscopy at 77 K with Nd3+ ion as structural probe were used. Micro-powdered Nd3+-doped LuPO4 obtained by a solid-state reaction was applied as a reference. The possible application of this material as an optical thermometer was considered.

- The Triangular Theory of Love (measured with Sternberg's Triangular Love Scale - STLS) is a prominent theoretical concept in empirical research on love. To expand the culturally homogeneous body of previous psychometric research regarding the STLS, we conducted a large-scale cross-cultural study with the use of this scale. In total, we examined more than 11,000 respondents, but as a result of applied exclusion criteria, the final analyses were based on a sample of 7332 participants from 25 countries (from all inhabited continents). We tested configural invariance, metric invariance, and scalar invariance, all of which confirmed the cultural universality of the theoretical construct of love analyzed in our study. We also observed that levels of love components differ depending on relationship duration, following the dynamics suggested in the Triangular Theory of Love. Supplementary files with all our data, including results on love intensity across different countries along with STLS versions adapted in a few dozen languages, will further enable more extensive research on the Triangular Theory of Love.
