How can we apply decision-making theories to wild animal behavior? Predictions arising from dual process theory and Bayesian decision theory

Author(s): Teichroeb JA; Smeltzer EA; Mathur V; Anderson KA; Fowler EJ; Adams FV; Vasey EN; Tamara Kumpan L; Stead SM; Arseneau-Robar TJM;

Our understanding of decision-making processes and cognitive biases is ever increasing, thanks to an accumulation of testable models and a large body of research over the last several decades. The vast majority of this work has been done in humans and laboratory animals because these study subjec ...

Unsupervised Mixture Models on the Edge for Smart Energy Consumption Segmentation with Feature Saliency

Author(s): Al-Bazzaz H; Azam M; Amayri M; Bouguila N;

Smart meter datasets have recently transitioned from monthly intervals to one-second granularity, yielding invaluable insights for diverse metering functions. Clustering analysis, a fundamental data mining technique, is extensively applied to discern unique energy consumption patterns. However, the advent of high-resolution smart meter data brings forth f ...

Profiles of body image concerns and their associations with disordered eating behaviors

Author(s): Baker S; Maïano C; Houle S; Nadon L; Aimé A; Morin AJS;

Although body image concerns (BIC) are recognized as a core driver in the development of disordered eating behaviors, the combined role of various types of BIC remains underexamined. This study relied on Latent Profile Analysis to identify the main configurations of self-reported BIC (i.e., body checking and avoidance, perceived physical appearance, and f ...

Childhood hyperactivity, eating behaviours, and executive functions: Their association with the development of eating-disorder symptoms in adolescence

Author(s): Dufour R; Breton É; Morin AJS; Côté SM; Dubois L; Vitaro F; Boivin M; Tremblay RE; Booij L;

Background: Cross-sectional studies have shown that hyperactivity and impaired executive functioning are associated with symptoms of eating disorders in adolescence and adulthood. Whether hyperactivity and executive functions in early life can prospectively predict the emergence of eating disorde ...

Age- and sex-specific associations between obstructive sleep apnea risk and cognitive decline in middle-aged and older adults: A 3-year longitudinal analysis of the Canadian longitudinal study on aging

Author(s): Julie Legault

CONCLUSIONS: Associations between OSA risk and cognitive decline over 3 years depend on age and sex. Being at high-risk for OSA is associated with a generalized cognitive decline in attention and processing speed, while a memory decline is specific to older women (=70 years).

ESOMIR: a curated database of biomarker genes and miRNAs associated with esophageal cancer

Author(s): Sindhoo A; Sipy S; Khan A; Selvaraj G; Alshammari A; Casida ME; Wei DQ;

'Esophageal cancer' (EC) is a highly aggressive and deadly complex disease. It comprises two types, esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC), with Barrett's esophagus (BE) being the only known precursor. Recent research has revealed that microRNAs (miRNAs) play a crucial role in the development, prognosis a ...

The caleosin RD20/CLO3 regulates lateral root development in response to abscisic acid and regulates flowering time in conjunction with the caleosin CLO7

Author(s): Brunetti SC; Arseneault MKM; Gulick PJ;

The caleosins are encoded by multi-gene families in Arabidopsis thaliana and other plant species. This work investigates the role of two family members, RD20/CLO3 and CLO7, in flowering transition and in root development in response to ABA treatment. Gene expression of the caleosin RD20/CLO3 is induced by ABA in the root tissues and RD20/CLO3 has a negati ...

Do preschoolers trust a competent robot pointer?

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

How young children learn from different informants has been widely studied. However, most studies investigate how children learn verbally conveyed information. Furthermore, most studies investigate how children learn from humans. This study sought to investigate how 3-year-old children learn from, and come to trust, a competent robot versus an incompetent ...

The impact of cultural identity, parental communication, and peer influence on substance use among Indigenous youth in Canada

Author(s): Reynolds A; Keough MT; Blacklock A; Tootoosis C; Whelan J; Bomfim E; Mushquash C; Wendt DC; O' Connor RM; Burack JA;

Heavy drinking and smoking have been found to be among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality within Indigenous youth in North America. The focus of this study was to examine the relative roles of cultural identity, parent-child communication about the harms of substance use (SU), and perc ...

Putting things right: An experimental investigation of memory biases related to symmetry, ordering and arranging behaviour

Author(s): Radomsky AS; Ouellet-Courtois C; Golden E; Senn JM; Parrish CL;

Background and objectives: Research indicates the presence of both explicit and implicit memory biases for threat. However, empirical support for the presence of memory biases related to symmetry, ordering and arranging is lacking, despite the fact that many individuals report anxiety associated with their personal belongings being out of place. The aim o ...

Improvements in cardiorespiratory fitness, muscle strength and body composition to modest weight loss are similar in those with adult- versus childhood-onset obesity

Author(s): Lucas Guimarães Almeida

Adults who have had obesity from childhood are at greater risk of obesity-related comorbidities compared to those who only develop obesity in adulthood. The main way of mitigating these risks in obesity is with weight loss, which has been shown to positively affect the cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and body composition of adults. However, it is unclear ...
