Exploring the association between internalized weight bias and mental health among Canadian adolescents

Author(s): Lucibello KM; Goldfield GS; Alberga AS; Leatherdale ST; Patte KA;

Background: Internalized weight bias (IWB) has been identified as a correlate of higher depressive and anxiety symptoms in adolescents with higher weights. However, there has been limited investigation into how IWB relates to positive mental health and whether these associations differ across genders. Objectives: To examine the associations between IWB a ...

A Pilot Randomized Trial of Combined Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Exercise Training Versus Exercise Training Alone for the Management of Chronic Insomnia in Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Author(s): Cammalleri A; Perrault AA; Hillcoat A; Carrese-Chacra E; Tarelli L; Patel R; Baltzan M; Chouchou F; Dang-Vu TT; Gouin JP; Pepin V;

Insomnia treatment among individuals with comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea is suboptimal. In a pilot randomized controlled trial, 19 individuals with comorbid insomnia and obstructive sleep apnea were allocated to one of two arms: EX + EX, consisting of two 8-week phases of exercise ...

Children's anthropomorphism of inanimate agents

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

This review article examines the extant literature on animism and anthropomorphism in infants and young children. A substantial body of work indicates that both infants and young children have a broad concept of what constitutes a sentient agent and react to inanimate objects as they do to people in the same context. The literature has also revealed a dev ...

Exploiting protein language models for the precise classification of ion channels and ion transporters

Author(s): Ghazikhani H; Butler G;

This study introduces TooT-PLM-ionCT, a comprehensive framework that consolidates three distinct systems, each meticulously tailored for one of the following tasks: distinguishing ion channels (ICs) from membrane proteins (MPs), segregating ion transporters (ITs) from MPs, and differentiating ICs from ITs. Drawing upon the strengths of six Protein Languag ...

All together now: Assessing variation in maternal and nonmaternal handling of wild Colobus vellerosus infants

Author(s): King AG; Rissling T; Cote S; Sicotte P;

Primatologists have a long-standing interest in the study of maternal care and nonmaternal handling (NH) of infants stemming from recognition that early social relationships can have enduring consequences. Though maternal care and NH often include expression of similar behaviors, they are regularly studied in isolation from each other with nonoverlapping ...

Endogenous tagging using split mNeonGreen in human iPSCs for live imaging studies

Author(s): Husser MC; Pham NP; Law C; Araujo FRB; Martin VJJ; Piekny A;

Endogenous tags have become invaluable tools to visualize and study native proteins in live cells. However, generating human cell lines carrying endogenous tags is difficult due to the low efficiency of homology-directed repair. Recently, an engineered split mNeonGreen protein was used to generate a large-scale endogenous tag library in HEK293 cells. Usin ...

Navigating the nexus: climate dynamics and microplastics pollution in coastal ecosystems

Author(s): Ahmed Dar A; Chen Z; Sardar MF; An C;

Microplastics (MPs) pollution is an emerging environmental health concern, impacting soil, plants, animals, and humans through their entry into the food chain via bioaccumulation. Human activities such as improper solid waste dumping are significant sources that ultimately transport MPs into the water bodies of the coastal areas. Moreover, there is a comp ...

Rare-earth acetates as alternative precursors for rare-earth cluster-based metal-organic frameworks

Author(s): Richezzi M; Donnarumma PR; Copeman C; Howarth AJ;

RE-UiO-66 analogues are synthesized using RE acetates as precursors for the first time. These MOFs are fully characterized and the influence of the precursor on the materials obtained is studied. Additionally, the influence of water on the yield of the syntheses and the quality of the materials is explored.

Assessment of urban greenhouse gas emissions towards reduction planning and low-carbon city: a case study of Montreal, Canada

Author(s): Shadnoush Pashaei

Greenhouse gases (GHGs) can be produced from a broad range of anthropogenic activities at different spatial and temporal scales. In particular, emissions from urban area are an import source of GHGs. City is a complicated system consisting of various component and processes. Efforts have been made to reduce urban GHG emissions. However, there is a lack of ...

Breamy: An augmented reality mHealth prototype for surgical decision-making in breast cancer

Author(s): Najafi N; Addie M; Meterissian S; Kersten-Oertel M;

Breast cancer is one of the most prevalent forms of cancer, affecting approximately one in eight women during their lifetime. Deciding on breast cancer treatment, which includes the choice between surgical options, frequently demands prompt decision-making within an 8-week timeframe. However, many women lack the necessary knowledge and preparation for mak ...
