Efficacy of a minimally guided internet treatment for alcohol misuse and emotional problems in young adults: Results of a randomized controlled trial

Author(s): Frohlich JR; Rapinda KK; Schaub MP; Wenger A; Baumgartner C; Johnson EA; O' Connor RM; Vincent N; Blankers M; Ebert DD; Hadjistavropoulos HD; Mackenzie CS; Wardell JD; Augsburger M; Goldberg JO; Keough MT;

Many young adults struggle with comorbid alcohol misuse and emotional problems (i.e., depression and anxiety). However, there is currently a paucity of evidence-based, integrated, accessible treatment options for individuals with these comorbidities. The main goal of this study was to examine eff ...

Anterior cingulate neurons signal neutral cue pairings during sensory preconditioning

Author(s): Hart EE; Gardner MPH; Schoenbaum G;

Of all frontocortical subregions, the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) has perhaps the most overlapping theories of function.1-3 Recording studies in rats, humans, and other primates have reported diverse neural responses that support many theories,4-12 yet nearly all these studies have in common tasks in which one event reliably predicts another. This lea ...

Celebrity Couples as Business Families: A Social Network Perspective

Author(s): Gorji Y; Carney M; Prakash R;

We depict Hollywood celebrity couples as business families who participate in the project-based movie production industry, which is a temporary and disaggregated form of organization where skilled individuals are linked to one another through contractual and social relationships. Appearing in Hollywood movies generates celebrity capital, which can be conv ...

Network oscillations imply the highest cognitive workload and lowest cognitive control during idea generation in open-ended creation tasks

Author(s): Jia W; von Wegner F; Zhao M; Zeng Y;

Design is a ubiquitous, complex, and open-ended creation behaviour that triggers creativity. The brain dynamics underlying design is unclear, since a design process consists of many basic cognitive behaviours, such as problem understanding, idea generation, idea analysis, idea evaluation, and idea evolution. In this present study, we simulated the design ...

Detection of Fusobacterium nucleatum subspecies in the saliva of pre-colorectal cancer patients, using tandem mass spectrometry

Author(s): Morsi H; Golizeh M; Brosseau N; Janati AI; Emami E; Ndao M; Tran SD;

Objective: Rising evidence links Fusobacterium nucleatum (F. nucleatum) with its four subspecies; nucleatum, polymorphum, animalis, and vincentii, with the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) and its precursor colorectal adenoma (CRA). This study aims to optimize a technique for and explore the capability of matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization- ...

Contextual variations in associations between measures of aggression and withdrawal and functioning with peers: A replication study

Author(s): Bukowski WM; Dirks M; Persram R; Santo J; DeLay D; Lopez LS;

Data from 790 older school-age (Mage = 10.2 years, SD = 1.2 years) girls (N = 427) and boys from Barranquilla, Colombia (N = 449) and Montréal, Canada (N = 331) were used to replicate findings reported by Valdivia et al. (2005). This prior study revealed contextual variations in the association between two measures of social behavior, specifically aggress ...

Joint intergroup aggression in female colobus monkeys (Colobus vellerosus) is associated with grooming bonds, male participation, and group size

Author(s): Wikberg EC; Gonzalez S; Rodriguez C; Sicotte P;

Cooperative home range defense is common in primates, despite a collective action problem that arises when group members benefit from winning the intergroup encounter regardless of whether they participate. The costs associated with this collective action problem may be mitigated by residing in small groups, residing with kin, or by forming strong bonds w ...

Concurrent Validity of the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire in a Canadian Sample

Author(s): Cohen TR; Kakinami L; Plourde H; Hunot-Alexander C; Beeken RJ;

The current study aimed to test the factor structure of the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ), its construct validity against the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R18) and its associations with body mass index (BMI) in Canadian adults (n = 534, 76% female). Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that a seven-factor AEBQ model, with th ...

The occurrence of potentially pathogenic fungi and protists in Canadian lakes predicted using geomatics, in situ and satellite-derived variables: Towards a tele-epidemiological approach

Author(s): Oliva A; Garner RE; Walsh D; Huot Y;

Eukaryotic pathogens including fungi and enteroparasites infect humans, animals and plants. As integrators of landscape catchment, lakes can reflect and record biological and geochemical events or anthropogenic changes and provide useful knowledge to formulate public health, food security and water policies to manage and prevent diseases. In this context, ...

Multifaceted synergistic electron transfer mechanism for enhancing denitrification by clay minerals

Author(s): Zhang Y; Lu C; Chen Z; Song Y; Li H; Han Y; Hou Y; Guo J;

The performance and mechanism of denitrification enhanced by three clay minerals, montmorillonite (Mmt), illite and kaolinite, were first studied. Batch experiments indicated that clay minerals significantly enhanced denitrification at certain concentrations (0.1-1 g/L). The denitrification rate with 1 g/L Mmt was increased by 5.0-fold. The mechanism of c ...

Sleep disorders in patients with a neurocognitive disorder

Author(s): C Moderie

CONCLUSION: Multiple and sustained nonpharmacological approaches are recommended for the treatment of sleep disturbances in patients with neurocognitive disorder. Pharmacological indications remain limited, and further randomized clinical trials integrating a multimodal approach are warranted to evaluate the treatment of sleep disorders in specific neuroc ...

Uncovering global-scale risks from commercial chemicals in air

Author(s): Liu Q; Li L; Zhang X; Saini A; Li W; Hung H; Hao C; Li K; Lee P; Wentzell JJB; Huo C; Li SM; Harner T; Liggio J;

Commercial chemicals are used extensively across urban centres worldwide1, posing a potential exposure risk to 4.2 billion people2. Harmful chemicals are often assessed on the basis of their environmental persistence, accumulation in biological organisms and toxic properties, under international ...
