Conflict Resolution and Emotional Expression in Sibling and Mother-Adolescent Dyads: Within-Family and Across-Context Similarities

Author(s): Ferrar SJ; Stack DM; Baldassarre KS; Orsini A; Serbin LA;

Early adolescents (aged 12-15) were observed during dyadic conflict discussions with their siblings (n = 23) and mothers (n = 32) in their homes. The verbal conflict behaviors and affect of family members were coded continuously. Sequential analyses identified temporal associations between individuals' affect and their own and their partners' ve ...

Disturbance cues function as a background risk cue but not as an associative learning cue in tadpoles

Author(s): Rivera-Hernández IAE; Crane AL; Pollock MS; Ferrari MCO;

Chemical information has an important role in the sensory ecology of aquatic species. For aquatic prey, chemical cues are a vital source of information related to predator avoidance and risk assessment. For instance, alarm cues are released by prey that have been injured by predators. In addition to providing accurate information about current risk, rep ...

Development of the Japanese Version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J)

Author(s): Miyagawa Y; Tóth-Király I; Knox MC; Taniguchi J; Niiya Y;

Research in the U.S. developed and validated the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS), which measures self-compassionate reactions toward a specific negative event. The current study is aimed at developing the Japanese version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J) and extending previous findings in the U.S. by showing measurement invariance across s ...

Inhomogeneous linear responses and transport in armchair graphene nanoribbons in the presence of elastic scattering

Author(s): Bahrami M; Vasilopoulos P;

Within linear-response theory we derive a response function that thoroughly accounts for the in?uence of elastic scattering and is valid beyond the long-wavelength limit. We use the theory to evaluate the polarization function and the conductivity in metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) in the Lindhard approximation for intra-band and inter-ba ...

Southeast Asian Dipterocarp origin and diversification driven by Africa-India floristic interchange

Author(s): Bansal M; Morley RJ; Nagaraju SK; Dutta S; Mishra AK; Selveraj J; Kumar S; Niyolia D; Harish SM; Abdelrahim OB; Hasan SE; Ramesh BR; Dayanandan S; Morley HP; Ashton PS; Prasad V;

The evolution and diversification of ancient megathermal angiosperm lineages with Africa-India origins in Asian tropical forests is poorly understood because of the lack of reliable fossils. Our palaeobiogeographical analysis of pollen fossils from Africa and India combined with molecular data ...

Recent developments in photocatalysis of industrial effluents ։ A review and example of phenolic compounds degradation

Author(s): Motamedi M; Yerushalmi L; Haghighat F; Chen Z;

Industrial expansion and increased water consumption have created water scarcity concerns. Meanwhile, conventional wastewater purification methods have failed to degrade recalcitrant pollutants efficiently. The present review paper discusses the recent advances and challenges in photocatalytic processes applied for industrial effluents treatment, with r ...

Associations between family functioning during early to mid-childhood and weight status in childhood and adolescence: findings from a Quebec birth cohort

Author(s): Van Hulst A; Wills-Ibarra N; Nikiéma B; Kakinami L; Pratt KJ; Ball GDC;

Background: Impaired family functioning has been associated with obesity in children and adolescents, but few longitudinal studies exist. We examined whether family functioning from early to mid-childhood is associated with overweight and obesity in later childhood and adolescence. Methods: We examined data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child D ...

Mapping changes in the obesity stigma discourse through Obesity Canada: a content analysis

Author(s): Kirk SF; Forhan M; Yusuf J; Chance A; Burke K; Blinn N; Quirke S; Salas XR; Alberga A; Russell-Mayhew S;

Background: Stigmatization of persons living with obesity is an important public health issue. In 2015, Obesity Canada adopted person-first language in all internal documentation produced by the organization, and, from 2017, required all authors to use person-first language in abstract submissi ...

Thermoregulatory significance of immobility in the forced swim test

Author(s): Nadeau BG; Marchant EG; Amir S; Mistlberger RE;

The forced swim test (FST) is a widely used animal model of depression and antidepressant drug screen. Rats are forced to swim on two test days in a restricted space from which there is no escape. On the first test day the rats attempt to escape and then become largely immobile; on the second test day the onset of immobility is more rapid. Immobility is ...

Voice characteristics from isolated rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder to early Parkinson's disease

Author(s): Laetitia Jeancolas

CONCLUSION: This study provides new insight in the characterization of sex-dependent early PD speech impairments, and demonstrates the valuable benefit of including automated voice analysis in future diagnostic procedures of prodromal PD.

Ending the Pandemic: How Behavioural Science Can Help Optimize Global COVID-19 Vaccine Uptake

Author(s): Vallis M; Bacon S; Corace K; Joyal-Desmarais K; Sheinfeld Gorin S; Paduano S; Presseau J; Rash J; Mengistu Yohannes A; Lavoie K;

Governments, public health officials and pharmaceutical companies have all mobilized resources to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns, social distancing, and personal protective behaviours have been helpful but have shut down economies and disrupted normal activities. Vaccinations protect ...

Individual pupil size changes as a robust indicator of cognitive familiarity differences

Author(s): Franzen L; Cabugao A; Grohmann B; Elalouf K; Johnson AP;

Cognitive psychology has a long history of using physiological measures, such as pupillometry. However, their susceptibility to confounds introduced by stimulus properties, such as color and luminance, has limited their application. Pupil size measurements, in particular, require sophisticated experimental designs to dissociate relatively small changes ...
