Activity and Interconnections of Individual and Collective Actors: An Integrative Approach to Small Group Research

Author(s): Sidorenkov AV; Borokhovski EF;

In this article, we attempted to integrate and further develop theoretical ideas in the area of the small group research about all group activity levels (types of actors) - individual, informal subgroup, and group - and about connections among them. We have touched upon such issues as (a) modes of group activity represented by activities of each type of t ...

The association between information and communication technologies, loneliness and social connectedness: A scoping review

Author(s): Petersen B; Khalili-Mahani N; Murphy C; Sawchuk K; Phillips N; Li KZH; Hebblethwaite S;

Older adults are at a higher risk of loneliness, compared to other demographics. The use of Internet Communication and Technologies (ICTs) among older adults is steadily increasing and given ICTs provide a means of enhancing social connectedness suggests they may have positive effects on reducing loneliness. Therefore, the aim of this scoping review was t ...

Helpers or halos: examining the evaluative mechanisms underlying selective prosociality

Author(s): Dunfield KA; Isler L; Chang XM; Terrizzi B; Beier J;

This research examines the proximate evaluative mechanisms underlying prosocial partner choice-based reciprocity. Across four studies we presented 855 university undergraduates (online for course credit) and 76 4- to 6-year-olds (offline at a university laboratory) with vignettes describing prosocial, social and non-social characters, and asked participan ...

Effects of the HEARTY exercise randomized controlled trial on eating behaviors in adolescents with obesity

Author(s): Alberga AS; Edache IY; Sigal RJ; von Ranson KM; Russell-Mayhew S; Kenny GP; Doucette S; Prud' homme D; Hadjiyannakis S; Cameron JD; Goldfield GS;

Background: There are well-recognized benefits of behavioral interventions that include exercise for children and adolescents with obesity. However, such behavioral weight management programs may precipitate unintended consequences. It is unclear if different exercise modalities impact eating beh ...

Ultrasonography of the multifidus muscle in student circus artists with and without low back pain: a cross-sectional study

Author(s): Bianca Rossini

CONCLUSION: This study provided novel insights into LM characteristics in circus artists. Greater LM asymmetry was observed in artists with a history of low back pain. In accordance with previous studies in athletes, LM morphology and function were highly correlated with body composition measurements.

Soliton Shielding of the Focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation

Author(s): Bertola M; Grava T; Orsatti G;

We first consider a deterministic gas of N solitons for the focusing nonlinear Schrödinger (FNLS) equation in the limit N?8 with a point spectrum chosen to interpolate a given spectral soliton density over a bounded domain of the complex spectral plane. We show that when the domain is a disk and the soliton density is an analytic function, then the corres ...

Data and Tools Integration in the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform

Author(s): Poline JB; Das S; Glatard T; Madjar C; Dickie EW; Lecours X; Beaudry T; Beck N; Behan B; Brown ST; Bujold D; Beauvais M; Caron B; Czech C; Dharsee M; Dugré M; Evans K; Gee T; Ippoliti G; Kiar G; Knoppers BM; Kuehn T; Le D; Lo D; Mazaheri ...

We present the Canadian Open Neuroscience Platform (CONP) portal to answer the research community's need for flexible data sharing resources and provide advanced tools for search and processing infrastructure capacity. This portal differs from previous data sharing projects as it integrates d ...

Longitudinal Validation of a Specific Measure of Fear Avoidance in Athletes: Predicting Time from Injury to Return to Sports Competition

Author(s): Tito N; Porter E; Castonguay T; Dover G;

Purpose: We developed the Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ) to measure fear avoidance in athletes. Previous fear avoidance scales were developed for the general population and have demonstrated significant predictive capabilities regarding rehabilitation. No research to date has examined the association between athlete fear avoidance as measured ...

Of children and social robots

Author(s): Goldman EJ; Baumann AE; Poulin-Dubois D;

In the target article, Clark and Fischer argue that little is known about children's perceptions of social robots. By reviewing the existing literature we demonstrate that infants and young children interact with robots in the same ways they do with other social agents. Importantly, we conclude children's understanding that robots are artifacts (e ...

Older adults' perceptions of the risks associated with contemporary gambling environments: Implications for public health policy and practice

Author(s): Pitt H; McCarthy S; Thomas SL; Randle M; Marko S; Cowlishaw S; Kairouz S; Daube M;

Introduction: Rapid changes in the Australian gambling environment have amplified the risks for gamblers and pose significant threats to public health. Technological advances, saturation of marketing, and the embedding of gambling in sport have all contributed to significant changes in the gambling risk environment. Older adults have witnessed the changes ...
