During our morning walk I saw this Melolontha (Maikäfer) on the street.
I took him up and brought it to the next patch of grass.
It's the second one I see this year. It's causes a bit mixed feelings. I'm happy that I find them and watch them closely.
But it also makes me sad because when I was a child, I saw them ways more often.

Findings, published Jan. 17 in Cell Stem Cell, show that dopamine neurons infected with SARS-CoV-2 stop working and send out chemical signals that cause inflammation.
Normally, these neurons produce dopamine, a neurotransmitter that plays a role in feelings of pleasure, motivation, memory, sleep and movement.
Damage to these neurons is also connected to Parkinson’s disease.
“This project started out to investigate how various types of cells in different organs respond to …

SARS-CoV-2 infection causes dopaminergic neuron senescence
Yang and colleagues demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 can infect hPSC-derived midbrain dopamine (DA) neurons and induce cellular senescence. Several drug candidates were identified to rescue SARS-CoV-2 infection and DA neuron senescence. Inflammation and cellular senescence were also identified in substantia nigra tissue of COVID-19 patients.

Raiders’ Feelings On Free Agent RB Josh Jacobs Revealed https://www.yardbarker.com/nfl/articles/raiders_feelings_on_free_agent_rb_josh_jacobs_revealed/s1_17150_40022538

Raiders’ Feelings On Free Agent RB Josh Jacobs Revealed
Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs is getting set to hit free agency, and the Raiders apparently want him back. However, the Raiders only want to retain Jacobs at the right price and will not be placing a franchise tag on him, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Jacobs’ tag would be worth a tick over $14 million in 2024, which is evidently too costly for Las Vegas’ blood. Given Jacobs’ production this past season, that does not come as much of a surprise.

Cowboys' Ezekiel Elliott signing just got better with latest news
The Dallas Cowboys' reunion with Ezekiel Elliott has sparked some controversy among fans, with one side arguing they're making a lazy move to improve the position and another countering that he's still got gas left in the tank. The reality is that it's a move that shouldn't cause many strong feelings one way or another. Zeke is unlikely to become a workhorse-style RB1 like before but rather be a part of a committee which is most likely going to be led by Rico Dowdle, who has been more explosive…

Latest report provides hint on Cowboys' feelings about Ezekiel Elliott reunion
A report from last month indicated a mutual interest existed between the Cowboys and running back Ezekiel Elliott. On the eve of the draft, Dallas’ actions continue to point in that direction. CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports the Cowboys are currently meeting with Elliott’s agent. The two-time rushing champion has been linked to a new Dallas deal, and no known interest has been shown by other teams to date. Like many veterans, Elliott will likely have to wait until the post-draft wav…

About life and feelings, gloomy and private
The feelings we get from the activities we do could be classified as neutral, positive and negative.
Let's take developing #Gentoo as an example. It's something that makes me happy — but you can't (or at least I can't) just get the happiness and reject everything else. Most of the Gentoo work is basically neutral, even bland — a duty that takes a lot of time and effort, and probably a little of your health. It's statistically probable that you're going to get some positive feelings out of it — the joy of success, satisfaction, appreciation, awareness that you've done something good. But you also get negative feelings — from failures, frustration, negative interactions.
My hiking trips are like that too. My family believes that "I do it for pleasure" — but it's a harmful oversimplification and it only tells me that they even aren't trying to understand me. In fact, it's mostly a necessity, a way of solving specific problems that works for me — halting diabetes-related problems, coping with emotions. Of course there's a positive side to it — good mood, energy to survive another day, something the joy of visiting a new place, seeing something beautiful, finding a solution to a vexatious problem, positive interactions with people. But there are also negative feelings — anger and sadness from failure, stress from problems, negative contacts with people. Sometimes you end up slowly charging your social battery for a whole week, just to have one person destroy it all.
If you think about it, life's something like that. It's mostly a bland effort to survive every following day, sometimes interspersed with positive or negative moments.

The Role of Inclusion, Control, and Ownership in Workplace AI-Mediated Communication
Given large language models' (LLMs) increasing integration into workplace software, it is important to examine how biases in the models may impact workers. For example, stylistic biases in the language suggested by LLMs may cause feelings of alienation and result in increased labor for individuals or groups whose style does not match. We examine how such writer-style bias impacts inclusion, control, and ownership over the work when co-writing with LLMs. In an online experiment, participants wro…

https://theconversation.com/anger-sadness-boredom-anxiety-emotions-that-feel-bad-can-be-useful-217654

Anger, sadness, boredom, anxiety – emotions that feel bad can be useful
Lots of people will do a lot to avoid feeling negative emotions. But researchers are figuring out how these unpleasant feelings actually have benefits.

ASD, emotional memory, fears
Emotional memory is a bitch, and people in the spectrum are particularly vulnerable to it.
Let's say that something triggers the emotion of fear in you. You may be consciously recalling some bad memories, you may be imagining a possible outcome. However, when emotional memory comes into action, things are much worse. Your nervous system immediately brings the deep feeling of fear that is associated with the memory. You may even no longer be able to recall the memory, forget it entirely, yet your mind will ceaselessly keep hitting you with a whole set of emotions that you can't control, every single time it happens.
What's even worse, these things add up. Bad memories create fear. Fear creates more bad memories. These memories amplify the emotional reaction — and the wheel turns.
But the worst is the lack of understanding. People telling you that you are being irrational, that you are being an embarrassment to your family, that they have to give stuff up because of you. So the emotional memory becomes richer with the feelings of embarrassment, guilt and low self-esteem. All coalescing into a huge ball of emotion.
Today, you know it's not true. The fear wasn't irrational at all, it's pretty understandable in people who are #ActuallyAutistic, even "typical". Yet, what's the point of knowing that, if these emotions are deeply seated in your memory, and they will haunt you forever, and prevent you from ever having an illusion of normal life?

Instead, we watched first-year starter Jordan Love make every throw that his predecessor Aaron Rodgers would make…

Enhancing Depression-Diagnosis-Oriented Chat with Psychological State Tracking
Depression-diagnosis-oriented chat aims to guide patients in self-expression to collect key symptoms for depression detection. Recent work focuses on combining task-oriented dialogue and chitchat to simulate the interview-based depression diagnosis. Whereas, these methods can not well capture the changing information, feelings, or symptoms of the patient during dialogues. Moreover, no explicit framework has been explored to guide the dialogue, which results in some useless communications that a…
