Profiles of Cognitive Emotion Regulation and their Association with Emotional Traits

espanolRESUMEN Existe un creciente interes en la investigacion de las relaciones entre diferentes estrategias de regulacion de la emocion y sus sintomas u otros rasgos emocionales. Este estudio considera estos tipos de estrategias como disposiciones personales en relacion con otros factores, en un esfuerzo por identificar diferentes perfiles de regulacion de la emocion cognitiva y analizar su capacidad para predecir el impacto positivo y negativo, rasgos emocionales (ansiedad e ira) y sintomatologia depresiva. Los participantes fueron 350 individuos (50% hombres) con una edad media de 35.69 (SD = 7.5). Los metodos de analisis de datos empleados fueron cluster, analisis discriminante y comparacion de medias. Encontramos aspectos idiosincrasicos que sugieren la existencia de diversos estilos cognitivos de regulacion emocional. Estos estilos se diferencian por su mayor o menor frecuencia en el uso de estrategias consideradas en la literatura como “mas adaptativa” o “menos adaptativa” (los perfiles “protector” y “vulnerable”), siendo la reevaluacion positiva la estrategia que mejor distingue el perfil de regulacion emocional de cada persona. EnglishABSTRACT There is increasing research interest in the relationships between different emotion regulation strategies and symptoms or other emotional traits. This study considers these types of strategies as personal dispositions in relation to other factors, in an effort to identify different cognitive emotion regulation profiles and analyze their predictive capacity for positive and negative affect, emotional traits (anxiety and anger), and depressive symptomatology. Participants were 350 individuals (50% men) with a mean age of 35.69 (SD = 7.5). The data analysis methods employed were cluster, discriminant analyses, and comparison of means. We found idiosyncratic aspects suggesting the existence of diverse cognitive styles of emotional regulation. These styles would be differentiated by greater or lesser frequency in the use of strategies considered in the literature as “more adaptive” or “less adaptive” (the “protector” and “vulnerable” profiles), positive reappraisal being the strategy that best distinguishes between individuals as regards their emotional regulation profile.

Do multimedia-oriented visual glosses really facilitate EFL vocabulary learning ? : A comparison of planar images with three-dimensional images

It has been argued that glossy images in multimedia language textbooks or dictionaries bring about a certain amount of effectiveness in foreign language learning. These results might indicate the superiority of multimedia-based materials over paper-based ones. On the other hand, it might be also true that the superiority of the multimedia-oriented configuration of glosses has not been examined, which might imply that the potential of multimedia materials as tools for language learning has not been maximized. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the superiority of multimedia-oriented gloss in comparison with traditional glosses. This paper addresses three-dimensional images as a multimedia gloss to demonstrate the spatial relationship of prepositions such as “above,” “across,” “below,” “in,” “on,” and “over,” which are regarded as difficult to learn because of the appropriate choice of the words’ several senses based on various contexts. This research begins with the development of two multimedia dictionaries of spatial prepositions: one with planar images, and the other with three-dimensional images of spatial relationships for each language item. This is followed by an experiment to verify the effectiveness of multimedia gloss by randomly dividing it into two groups—a control group and an experimental group, and then conducting a vocabulary test in each group to choose appropriate spatial prepositions with reference to these dictionaries. The results will be analyzed using a t-test. The results of this study should help in suggesting methods to optimize the application of multimedia materials in EFL settings.
COMPETITION FOR LAND RESOURCES RESULTING FROM BIOENERGY DEVELOPMENT: THEORETICAL APPROACH

It is well established that agriculture-based bioenergy development has direct and indirect effects in economic, social, and envi-ronmental fields. In social and economic fields, some effects emerge as a result of a close interaction between biofuel and agricultural product markets. Such interaction arises where agricultural products are used to satisfy both food and energy demands. Consequently, this interaction gives rise to competition for agricultural products, including land resources, between biofuel and food industries. Generally the levels of competition intensity depend on the availability of land resources, which essentially determines the potential volumes of agricultural production where other traditional measures for increasing production volumes are exhausted. The article aims to reveal a theoretical approach towards competition for land resources resulting from bioenergy development and to formulate preconditions for minimizing this competition. The research methods include monographic method, analysis for comparison of different opinions, analysis and synthesis of scientific literature, generalization, modeling, and logical abstraction techniques. In many cases, various bioenergy development studies and models make only a passing reference to the issue of land resources. This article reveals competition for land resources triggered by agriculture-based bioenergy development, the preconditions for its formation and possible ways of manifestation. It discusses the competition for land resources through land conversion and land real-location. Furthermore, it looks at the most common arguments to deny the competition for land resources, its scope and importance. These arguments are usually grounded on the possibilities of improving agricultural productivity and the use of additional or set-aside land that is marginal in terms of food/fiber production. Some bioenergy development scenarios consider waste generated in food/fiber production to be the main source for biofuels production. One of the main outcomes of this article is a theoretical model of changes in the use of land resources under the conditions of in-tense bioenergy development, which focuses on the national level. This model displays the distribution of land resources in both pre-bioenergy and post-bioenergy environment. Following this model preconditions for minimizing competition for land resources are presented. Firstly there are discussed a view on exogenously restricted allocation of land resources, which is vital to preventing food shortages and food price shocks in the short term. On the other hand there are also presented a viewpoint that government regulation (various prohibitions) cannot bring about an appreciable effect in this land resource allocation area. However, the experience of vari-ous countries shows that subject to political regulation of the said competitive area coexistence of the production of biofuels and food is basically possible.
Size, Book-to-Market Ratio and Macroeconomic News

Little is known about the reactions of daily returns on portfolios with different characteristics to unexpected changes in macroeconomic conditions. This paper fills this void by analyzing the reactions of daily returns on portfolios formed on size and book-to-market ratio to news about a wide range of macroeconomic variables. Returns on different portfolios not only react to different news but also react differently to the same news. Reactions of portfolios to macroeconomic news also change over the business cycle. Results are strongest for news about employees on nonfarm payrolls in expansions. Both at daily and monthly frequencies, large and growth firms react differently to employment news from small and value firms in expansions but not in recessions. Differences in the sensitivities of expected future cash flows to employment news in expansions can help explain differences in the observed reactions.
Persistence of Cav1.3 Ca2+ Channels in Mature Outer Hair Cells Supports Outer Hair Cell Afferent Signaling

Outer hair cells (OHCs) are innervated by type II afferent fibers of as yet unknown function. It is still a matter of debate whether OHCs perform exocytosis. If so, they would require presynaptic Ca2+ channels at their basal poles where the type II fibers make contacts. Here we show that L-type Ca2+ channel currents (charge carrier, 10 mm Ba2+) present in neonatal OHCs [postnatal day 1 (P1) to P7] decreased from ∼170 to ∼50 pA at approximately the onset of hearing. Ba2+ currents could hardly be measured in mature mouse OHCs because of their high fragility, whereas in the rat, the average Ba2+ current amplitude of apical OHCs was 58 ± 9 pA (n = 20, P19–P30) compared with that of the inner hair cells (IHCs) of 181 ± 50 pA (n = 24, P17–P30). Properties of Ba2+ currents of mature OHCs resembled those of neonatal OHCs. One exception was the voltage dependence of activation that shifted between birth and P12 by +9 mV toward positive voltages in OHCs, whereas it remained constant in the IHCs. Cav1.3-specific mRNA was detected in mature OHCs using cell-specific reverse transcription (RT)-PCR and in situ hybridization. Cav1.3 protein was stained exclusively at the base of mature OHCs, in colocalization with the ribbon synapse protein CtBP2 (C-terminal binding protein 2)/RIBEYE. When current sizes were normalized to the estimated number of afferent fibers or presynaptic ribbons, comparable values for IHCs and OHCs were obtained, a finding that together with the colocalization of Cav1.3 and CtBP2/RIBEYE protein strongly suggests a role for Cav1.3 channels in exocytosis of mature OHCs.
Assessment of family needs following acquired brain injury in Saskatchewan

Primary objective: The objective was to learn what the family members of individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI) perceived as important needs and to what extent these needs are being met. Methods and procedures: Sixty-six individuals who care for someone with an ABI and who receive service from the Saskatchewan South ABI Outreach Team completed the Family Needs Questionnaire (FNQ). Main outcomes: An analysis of the importance ratings found that the most important needs were related to health information. Most needs perceived as unmet were related to emotional support. Conclusions: Caregivers indicated that having honest, accurate comprehensive information regarding the ABI survivor is important. Respondents also indicated that approximately one-half of the needs have gone unmet or only partly met. This study highlights the importance for service providers to assess family needs in order to minimize distress in caregivers, maintenance of the well being of whom is integral in the support of the person with ABI.
surgery as elective approach for mitral valve operation in redo procedures

Background: Re-do mitral valve procedures performed through median sternotomy carry substantial mortality and morbidity. To avoid complications of sternal re-entry and to provide adequate mitral valve exposure, antero-lateral thoracotomy has been suggested by some authors. Methods: From October 1997 to January 2007, 677 mitral valve operations have been performed in our centre using port-access videoassisted right mini-thoracotomy. Among these, 241 (35.6%) were performed on patients who had undergone one or more previous cardiac surgery procedures. Results: Mean cardio-pulmonary bypass time and endo-clamp time were 117 46 min and 71 31 min, respectively. Arterial cannulation was performed either on the ascending aorta, with the endo-direct cannula (112 patients, 46.5%), or peripherally with a femoral artery approach (129 patients, 53.5%). Conversion to median sternotomy was necessary in only two patients (0.8%) due to aortic dissection (one case) and left ventricle free wall rupture (one case). Median intensive care unit stay was 24 h, median mechanical ventilation time was 12 h; median hospital stay was 8 days. Bleeding requiring surgical revision occurred in 12 patients (4.9%). Hospitalmortality was 4.9% (12/241 patients). Conclusions: Port-access video-assisted right mini-thoracotomy allows good results in a difficult subset of patients; it allows minimal adhesion dissection, short ICU and hospital stay. In our practice, this technique has become the treatment of choice for mitral valve re-do surgery. # 2009 European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery. Published by Elsevier B.V.

The Chicken or Egg Question of Adolescents’ Political Involvement: Longitudinal Analysis of the Relation Between Young People’s Political Participation, Political Efficacy, and Interest in Politics

Research on the political behavior of young people often approaches psychological factors such as political efficacy or interest as antecedents of political participation. This study examines whether efficacy and interest are also outcomes of participation and if this effect differs across three types of political participation. Data from a two-wave longitudinal survey of 768 Czech adolescents (aged 14–17 years at Time 1, 54% females) was used. Findings support the proposition that psychological factors are affected by participatory experiences. Cross-lagged models showed longitudinal effects from participation to changes in psychological factors, but not effects in the opposite direction. Protest participation predicted higher interest and internal political efficacy, but lower external political efficacy, volunteering predicted higher external political efficacy, and representational participation had no effects on psychological factors. Overall, our findings point out the formative role of participatory experiences in adolescence and the diverse effects of different types of political participation on political development.
Thermal Modeling of the Hot Dry Rock Geothermal Resource Beneath GEL 99 in the Cooper Basin , South Australia

Radiogenic granites beneath the Cooper Basin are purported to be the most prospective hot dry rock resource in the world, but the remote location means that any economic development of the resource must factor in a significant cost of connecting to the national electricity grid. This cost cannot be easily reduced. The other major cost of development is drilling, so it is imperative to keep this cost to a minimum. As the energy potential of the rocks is directly proportional to their temperature, it is vital to target drilling at locations likely to yield the highest temperatures at the shallowest depths.
The Luminosity-Size and Mass-Size Relations of Galaxies out to z ~ 3

The luminosity-size and mass-size distributions of galaxies out to z ~ 3 are presented. We use very deep near-infrared images of the Hubble Deep Field-South in the Js, H, and Ks bands, taken as part of FIRES at the VLT, to follow the evolution of the optical rest-frame sizes of galaxies. For a total of 168 galaxies with Ks,AB ≤ 23.5, we find that the rest-frame V-band sizes re,V of luminous galaxies ( ~ 2 × 1010 h-2 L☉) at 2 < z < 3 are 3 times smaller than for equally luminous galaxies today. In contrast, the mass-size relation has evolved relatively little: the size at mass ~ 2 × 1010 h-2 M☉ has changed by 20% (±20%) since z ~ 2.5. Both results can be reconciled by the fact that the stellar M/L ratio is lower in the luminous high-z galaxies than in nearby ones because they have young stellar populations. The lower incidence of large galaxies at z ~ 3 seems to reflect the rarity of galaxies with high stellar mass.
Synergies and Trade-Offs for Sustainable Food Production in Sweden: An Integrated Approach

The production of food can have large impacts on sustainable development in relation to various socio-ecological dimensions, like climate change, the environment, animal welfare, livestock epidemiology, and the economy. To achieve a sustainable food production system in Sweden, an integrated approach that considers all five of these dimensions, and all parts of the food production chain, is necessary. This paper systematically reviewed the literature related to food production in Sweden, especially in association with resource distribution and recycling logistics, and identified potential sustainability interventions and assessed their effects according to the five dimensions. Participation of stakeholders across the food production chain contributed with the focus of the literature search and subsequent synthesis. In general, there were synergies between the sustainability interventions and their effect on climate change and the environment, while there often were trade-offs between effects on the economy and the other dimensions. Few interventions considered effects on animal welfare or livestock epidemiology and few studies dealt with resource distribution and recycling logistics. This indicates that there is a need for future research that considers this in particular, as well as research that considers the whole food production chain and all dimensions at once, and investigates effects across multiple scales.
Collaborative Evolution of Enterprise Architecture Models

Enterprise Architecture (EA) management seeks to align business and IT while realizing cost saving potentials, improving availability and fault tolerance, and increasing flexibility of an organization. Regarding these objectives, decision makers need to be supported with solid and relevant models about the organization’s architecture to guide the future development of the EA. In practice, many EA initiatives struggle with inflexible models not meeting the information demand of stakeholders. In this paper, we propose a solution that empowers stakeholders to reveal their information demand collaboratively to facilitate EA models that evolve with changing information demands at runtime. We present core concepts of our approach and insights of an implementation thereof as foundation to achieve our long-term goal of evolving EA models. In our implementation we extend a collaboration platform with capabilities to monitor the actual information demand and to maintain the EA model referring to this demand at runtime.
A Pressure-dependent Model for the Regulation of Lipoprotein Lipase by Apolipoprotein C-II*

Background: Apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) is the cofactor for lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the central enzyme for plasma triglyceride metabolism. Results: ApoC-II adopts two conformations at lipid surfaces that are favored at different surface pressures. Conclusion: Conformational rearrangement of apoC-II at lipoprotein surfaces promotes interaction with LPL. Significance: Our mechanism explains how apoC-II withstands increases in surface pressure during LPL-mediated lipoprotein metabolism. Apolipoprotein C-II (apoC-II) is the co-factor for lipoprotein lipase (LPL) at the surface of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins. LPL hydrolyzes triacylglycerol, which increases local surface pressure as surface area decreases and amphipathic products transiently accumulate at the lipoprotein surface. To understand how apoC-II adapts to these pressure changes, we characterized the behavior of apoC-II at multiple lipid/water interfaces. ApoC-II adsorption to a triacylglycerol/water interface resulted in large increases in surface pressure. ApoC-II was exchangeable at this interface and desorbed on interfacial compressions. These compressions increase surface pressure and mimic the action of LPL. Analysis of gradual compressions showed that apoC-II undergoes a two-step desorption, which indicates that lipid-bound apoC-II can exhibit at least two conformations. We characterized apoC-II at phospholipid/triacylglycerol/water interfaces, which more closely mimic lipoprotein surfaces. ApoC-II had a large exclusion pressure, similar to that of apoC-I and apoC-III. However, apoC-II desorbed at retention pressures higher than those seen with the other apoCs. This suggests that it is unlikely that apoC-I and apoC-III inhibit LPL via displacement of apoC-II from the lipoprotein surface. Upon rapid compressions and re-expansions, re-adsorption of apoC-II increased pressure by lower amounts than its initial adsorption. This indicates that apoC-II removed phospholipid from the interface upon desorption. These results suggest that apoC-II regulates the activity of LPL in a pressure-dependent manner. ApoC-II is provided as a component of triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins and is the co-factor for LPL as pressure increases. Above its retention pressure, apoC-II desorbs and removes phospholipid. This triggers release of LPL from lipoproteins.
Synchronous Consensus with Mortal Byzantines

We consider the problem of reaching agreement in synchronous systems under a fault model whose severity lies between Byzantine and crash faults. For these "mortal" Byzantine faults, we assume that faulty processes take a finite number of arbitrary steps before they eventually crash. After discussing several application examples where this model is justified, we present and prove correct a consensus algorithm that tolerates a minority of faulty processes; i.e., more faults can be tolerated compared to classic Byzantine faults. We also show that the algorithm is optimal regarding the required number of processes and that no algorithm can solve consensus with just a majority of correct processes in a bounded number of rounds under our fault assumption. Finally, we consider more restricted fault models that allow to further reduce the required number of processes.
Ambiguity Reduction In New Product Development Projects

In this paper, we argue that ambiguity is an essential component of "fuzziness" in the Fuzzy Front End of New Product Development (NPD), and that a better understanding of how ambiguity emerges and is reduced, is called for. We explore the process by which ambiguity was reduced in four NPD projects, and propose a model that enhances our understanding of this process. Ambiguity arises as multiple interpretations, and interpretations can be understood as hypotheses, hence these can be tested by using the hypothetical-deductive method (HDM). We present a model showing that ambiguity in NPD projects is efficiently reduced by applying the HDM to test the multiple interpretations that give rise to ambiguity and the assumptions underlying these interpretations. We discuss theoretical implications and the usefulness of the model for practitioners of NPD.
The determinants of full-service carriers airfares in European hub-to-hub markets

This paper explores the factors influencing the pricing behaviour of full-service carriers in European hub-to-hub markets. Drawing on a 2009 dataset containing route and airfare information, we establish an econometric model to estimate the impact of route structure, alliances, and market concentration on the pricing of European full-service carriers in these markets. The results suggest that alliances on routes connecting two primary hubs, airport concentration, market share inequality and competition from low-cost carriers influence average airfares of full-service carriers in the European hub-to-hub markets.
