Children’s emotion regulation, behavior regulation, and mathematics achievement: A longitudinal mediation model

ABSTRACT The present study investigated direct as well as indirect relations between children’s emotion regulation (anger- and avoidant-oriented strategies), behavior regulation, and mathematics achievement in a longitudinal study during the transition from primary to secondary school in Germany. Participants were 76 primary school students attending grade four at Time 1, of whom 51 participated again as secondary school students attending grade five at Time 2, as well as children’s mothers and teachers. Anger- and avoidant-oriented emotion regulation strategies at Time 1 were negatively associated to behavior regulation at Time 2. Behavior regulation at Time 2 was positively related to mathematics achievement at Time 2. There were no direct relations between emotion regulation (anger- and avoidant-oriented strategies) at Time 1 and mathematics achievement at Time 2. However, we found significant indirect negative effects between emotion regulation (anger- and avoidant-oriented strategies) at Time 1 and mathematics achievement at Time 2 via behavior regulation at Time 1. Thus, anger- and avoidant-oriented emotion regulation at Time 1 indirectly affected mathematics achievement negatively at Time 2 via behavior regulation at Time 2. This study confirms the complex structure of self-regulatory processes and underlines the importance of specific emotion regulation strategies for mathematics achievement.
General practice-related MeSH terms in main journals: a bibliometric analysis from 2011 to 2021

Background There are various Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms used to index general practice research, without consistency. Aim To understand how general practice-related research is indexed in the main general practice journals between 2011 and 2021, and to analyse the factors that influenced the choice of the general practice-related MeSH. Design and setting This was a quantitative bibliometric study conducted on MEDLINE. Method MeSH were selected according to the international definition of General Practice/Family Medicine: ‘General Practice’, ‘Primary Health Care’, ‘Family Practice’, ‘General Practitioners’, ‘Physicians, Primary Care’, and ‘Physicians, Family’. Their use was studied from 2011 to 2021 on MEDLINE, reviewing the 20 general practice journals with the highest impact factors. A descriptive and analytical approach was used; the association of the country, journal, and year with the choice of general practice-related MeSH terms was analysed. Results A total of 8514 of 150 286 articles (5.7%) were using one of the general practice-related MeSH terms. The most used were ‘Primary Health Care’ (4648/9984, 46.6%) and ‘General Practice’ (2841/9984, 28.5%). A total of 80.0% (6172/7723) of the articles were related to the UK or US and 71.0% (6055/8514) of the articles came from four journals (BJGP, BMJ, Journal of General Internal Medicine, and Annals of Family Medicine). Two main country clusters emerged from the use of general practice-related MeSH: a British cluster mainly using ‘General Practice’ and an American cluster using ‘Primary Health Care’. The journals also mainly differed in their used of these two MeSH terms. Conclusion Important variations in the indexation of general practice research were found. Researchers should consider combining ‘Primary Health Care’ and ‘General Practice’ in their PubMed searches to access all the general practice research, regardless of their country of origin.
Nanotechnology in agri-food production: an overview

: Nanotechnology is one of the most important tools in modern agriculture, and agri-food nanotechnology is anticipated to become a driving economic force in the near future. Agri-food themes focus on sustainability and protection of agriculturally produced foods, including crops for human consumption and animal feeding. Nanotechnology provides new agrochemical agents and new delivery mechanisms to improve crop productivity, and it promises to reduce pesticide use. Nanotechnology can boost agricultural production, and its applications include: 1) nanoformulations of agrochemicals for applying pesticides and fertilizers for crop improvement; 2) the application of nanosensors/nanobiosensors in crop protection for the identification of diseases and residues of agrochemicals; 3) nanodevices for the genetic manipulation of plants; 4) plant disease diagnostics; 5) animal health, animal breeding, poultry production; and 6) postharvest management. Precision farming techniques could be used to further improve crop yields but not damage soil and water, reduce nitrogen loss due to leaching and emissions, as well as enhance nutrients long-term incorporation by soil microorganisms. Nanotechnology uses include nanoparticle-mediated gene or DNA transfer in plants for the development of insect-resistant varieties, food processing and storage, nanofeed additives, and increased product shelf life. Nanotechnology promises to accelerate the development of biomass-to-fuels production technologies. Experts feel that the potential benefits of nanotechnology for agriculture, food, fisheries, and aquaculture need to be balanced against concerns for the soil, water, and environment and the occupational health of workers. Raising awareness of nanotechnology in the agri-food sector, including feed and food ingredients, intelligent packaging and quick-detection systems, is one of the keys to influencing consumer acceptance. On the basis of only a handful of toxicological studies, concerns have arisen regarding the safety of nanomaterials, and researchers and companies will need to prove that these nanotechnologies do not have more of a negative impact on the environment. nanotechnology in a of and applications. characterized reporting across including engineering, optics, bio-medicine, cosmetics, textiles, resource sustainability and science.

The manuscript management system completely and includes a very quick and fair peer-review system, which all easy to use.
Agricultura 3_4_2019

The aim of this study was to assess the relationships between the evolution of the corpus luteum size determined by ultrasonography and plasma progesterone concentration in Cheurfa cows during the estrous cycle. Luteal activity was evaluated daily by plasma progesterone concentrations determined by radioimmunassay at each ultrasound examination. The interovulatory interval was 20.5±0.6 days. The corpus luteum clearly delimited 2 days after ovulation reached its maximal size on day 10. The plasma progesterone concentration reached its maximum on days 14. There was a day effect of estrous cycle on corpus luteum size (P<0.0001) and plasma progesterone concentration (P<0.0001). During the growing and regression phases of corpus luteum, a significant correlation was found between plasma progesterone concentration and corpus luteum size. In conclusion, the relationships between the corpus luteum size and plasma progesterone concentrations throughout the estrous cycle in Cheurfa cow were similar to other cattle breeds.
π‐shaped circularly polarized high‐gain Minkowski fractal antenna for radar applications

This article investigates a compact π‐shaped circularly polarized Minkowski fractal antenna (MFA). The proposed radiator is taking a π‐shape with semicircular cuts along the opposite side of the patch with a V‐cut at the bottom. A second‐order Minkowski fractal curve is implemented on the bottom ground plane. The antenna element is powered by a coaxial probe. The asymmetric structure generates two orthogonal modes, which results in circular polarization. A maximum gain response of 7.1 dBic is observed in the impedance band width (IBW) covering 9.7 to 11.2 GHz. The patch is fabricated on substrate RT/Duroid 5880™ (𝜀𝑟=2.2). The antenna has a compact dimension of 0. 90λ0 × 0. 90λ0 × 0. 05λ0 (fr = 10.45 GHz). A good match in the results validates the simulated and measured data in comparison with the existing models from literature with respect to diversity performance, thus making it suitable for radar applications.
A clinical study on the effectiveness of individualized homoeopathic medicines in reducing the dependence in tobacco use disorder

Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of individualised homoeopathic medicine in nicotine dependence and to assess improvement in their quality of life following homoeopathic treatment. Materials and Methods: The prospective clinical study was conducted in the Outpatient and Inpatient department of the National Homoeopathy Research Institute in Mental Health, Kottayam. Out of 130 cases screened, 33 diagnosed cases with satisfying DSM-5 Diagnostic criteria were taken for the study. Each case was systematically analyzed and individualized homoeopathic medicines were administered to patients as per the homoeopathic principle. The duration of the study was six months. Each case assessed at baseline and every month with Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND). Quality of life of the patient assessed with WHOQOL-BREF at every 3-month interval. The outcome of the treatment was measured by analyzing the symptom score obtained in with Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) and WHOQOL-BREF. The final evaluation of the data was done with the Wilcoxon signed rank test. Results: Out of 33 cases, there was a significant improvement in all the cases with a corresponding reduction in total score obtained in the rating scales. Sulphur was the most frequently indicated remedy in this study. There was a pronounced reduction of the overall score with Fagerstrom Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND) after treatment, with a statistical significance of p <0.001. Quality of life also improved markedly with a statistical significance of p <0.001. Almost all the subjects could lead a fruitful social, vocational and family life after the intervention. Conclusion: The study shows that homoeopathic medicines are effective in the management of Tobacco Use Disorder. Quality of life also improved markedly in the entire domain. The study would have been more productive if the duration of the study was much longer.
The Development of METAL-WRF Regional Model for the Description of Dust Mineralogy in the Atmosphere

The mineralogical composition of airborne dust particles is an important but often neglected parameter for several physiochemical processes, such as atmospheric radiative transfer and ocean biochemistry. We present the development of the METAL-WRF module for the simulation of the composition of desert dust minerals in atmospheric aerosols. The new development is based on the GOCART-AFWA dust module of WRF-Chem. A new wet deposition scheme has been implemented in the dust module alongside the existing dry deposition scheme. The new model includes separate prognostic fields for nine (9) minerals: illite, kaolinite, smectite, calcite, quartz, feldspar, hematite, gypsum, and phosphorus, derived from the GMINER30 database and also iron derived from the FERRUM30 database. Two regional model sensitivity studies are presented for dust events that occurred in August and December 2017, which include a comparison of the model versus elemental dust composition measurements performed in the North Atlantic (at Izaña Observatory, Tenerife Island) and in the eastern Mediterranean (at Agia Marina Xyliatos station, Cyprus Island). The results indicate the important role of dust minerals, as dominant aerosols, for the greater region of North Africa, South Europe, the North Atlantic, and the Middle East, including the dry and wet depositions away from desert sources. Overall, METAL-WRF was found to be capable of reproducing the relative abundances of the different dust minerals in the atmosphere. In particular, the concentration of iron (Fe), which is an important element for ocean biochemistry and solar absorption, was modeled in good agreement with the corresponding measurements at Izaña Observatory (22% overestimation) and at Agia Marina Xyliatos site (4% overestimation). Further model developments, including the implementation of newer surface mineralogical datasets, e.g., from the NASA-EMIT satellite mission, can be implemented in the model to improve its accuracy.

Association of ABCB1 Polymorphisms with Efficacy and Adverse Drug Reactions of Valproic Acid in Children with Epilepsy

Genetic polymorphisms in ATP-binding cassette subfamily B member 1 (ABCB1, also known as MDR1) have been reported to be possibly associated with the regulation of response to antiseizure medications. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of ABCB1 polymorphisms with the efficacy of and adverse drug reactions to valproic acid among Chinese children with epilepsy. A total of 170 children from southern China with epilepsy treated with valproic acid for more than one year were recruited, including 61 patients with persistent seizures and 109 patients who were seizure-free. Two single nucleotide polymorphisms of ABCB1, rs1128503 and rs3789243, were genotyped using the Sequenom MassArray system. The two single nucleotide polymorphisms of ABCB1 were found to be significantly associated with treatment outcomes of valproic acid in children with epilepsy. Carriers with the TT genotype of ABCB1 rs1128503 were more inclined to exhibit persistent seizures after treatment with valproic acid (p = 0.013). The CC genotype of rs3789243 was observed to be a potential protective factor for valproic acid-induced gastrointestinal adverse drug reactions (p = 0.018), but possibly increased the risk of valproic acid-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (p = 0.011). In contrast, the CT genotype of rs3789243 was associated with a lower risk of valproic acid-induced cutaneous adverse drug reactions (p = 0.011). Haplotype analysis showed that CC haplotype carriers tended to respond better to valproic acid treatment (p = 0.009). Additionally, no significant association was found between ABCB1 polymorphisms and serum concentrations of valproic acid. This study revealed that the polymorphisms and haplotypes of the ABCB1 gene might be associated with the treatment outcomes of valproic acid in Chinese children with epilepsy.
How do underlying aspects of public service motivation affect employee outcomes in public higher education institutions?

Public service motivation (PSM) has been the topic of many public administration and management studies since 1990. In Vietnam, 2016 marked the beginning of PSM research with a great deal of consideration of the impact of PSM on civil servants' job satisfaction, performance, and organizational commitment. However, no controlled studies have investigated PSM's impact on public employee outcomes, especially in the context of Vietnamese higher education institutions (HEIs). This study aims to examine how underlying aspects of public service motivation (Self-Sacrifice, Commitment to the Public Interest, Attraction to Public Policy Making, and Compassion) affect both positive and negative employee outcome factors, including Work Effort; Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Turnover Intention, and Work-related Stress. The results of structural equation modeling (SEM) point out that four PSM sub-constructs have varying effects on employee outcomes, as evidenced by the data from a random sample of three hundred and thirteen lecturers and administrators from Vietnamese public universities. In particular, three sub-constructs of PSM, namely self-sacrifice, dedication to the public interest, and attractiveness to public policymaking favorably influence employees' efforts in their duties; whereas compassion has a negligible influence on work efforts. Four aspects of PSM positively affect work effort and organizational citizenship behavior but adversely influence work-related stress and intention to leave the organization. This research demonstrates that a greater degree of PSM in all sub-constructs is favorably connected with public employees' organizational citizenship behavior. However, PSM negatively correlates with job stress although this is only supported by the sub-construct of selflessness. The findings of this research have proposed several significant recommendations for the approaches taken to human resource management within public universities in Vietnam.
THE REGIONAL METALLOGENY OF DA HINGGAN LING, CHINA

The Da Hinggan Ling area is located at the supperimposed, composite and transformed portion, where the Mesozoic NNE-stretching tectonic domain of the global Circum-Pacific belt strongly overprints the Paleozoic E-W-stretching tectonic domain of the Paleo-Asian Ocean. Because of this peculiar tectonic setting, strong ore-forming events occurred repeatedly in the Da Hinggan Ling, resulting in abundant various types of polymetallic ore deposits and complex features of regional metallogeny. Recently, a number of promising ore occurrences were discovered in the Da Hinggan Ling, and new progress was achieved in the study of regional metallogeny of the Da Hinggan Ling. In this paper, the authors try to give a short summary on these new approaches. Four metallogenic zones are identified according to the tectonic framework. Two principal metallogenic events and two principal metallogenic series are summarized. Several newly discovered deposits are described as typical examples.
Comparative elucidation of garlic peeling methods and positioning of quality characteristics using principal component analysis

Background. Garlic ( Allium sativum ) peeling is one of the crucial steps in its use and is a significant chal - lenge for maintaining the peeled garlic’s quality. The peeling of garlic on a mass scale is required to produce dehydrated garlic flakes, powder, grits, paste, garlic pickle, and for use as a critical wet spice in various processed products. Materials and methods. Manual peeling (MP), normal water peeling (NWP), hot water peeling (HWP), flame peeling (FP), and lye peeling (LP) methods were assessed for the quality characteristics of peeled garlic cloves based on antioxidant activities (AOA), total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC), anti-nutritional properties, ascorbic acid (AA), reducing sugar, allicin, and pyruvic acid content. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to develop the correlations between the garlic peeling methods and the measured parameters. Morphological and Energy Dispersive X-Ray (EDX) analyses were used to verify the difference between the optimized method of peeled garlic over the manually peeled garlic. Results. All peeling methods of garlic resulted in the respective peeled garlic having a pH in the acidic range (6.08–6.14). Reducing sugar is an important component affecting the color of the dehydrated garlic, which was found to be minimal in NWP (275.64 mg/g, fresh weight) and LP (335.26 mg/g, fresh weight). Allicin content, pyruvic acid, TPC, TFC, and AOA were similar for manually and lye-peeled garlic. MP garlic had the highest levels of anti-nutritional factors, such as saponin, phytic acid, and tannin. Whereas, the minimum level of saponin was found in HWP garlic. Phytic acid and tannin content were found to be minimum in LP and FP garlic. Multivariate analysis showed that the estimated chemical attributes were found to have the maximum number of positive correlations with the LP methods of garlic. At the same time, it also showed less correlation with anti-nutritional properties and a negative correlation with reducing sugar. Thus, the lye peeling (LP) method may be applied commercially for garlic peeling on a commercial scale due to it main - taining the quality characteristics; the morphological and EDX analyses also support this finding. Conclusions. LP method was found to be the best method of peeling since it maintained the allicin content, antioxidant properties, and reduced anti-nutritional properties and doesn’t reduce sugar.
Molecular dynamics simulations of seismic discontinuities and phase transitions of MgSiO3 from 4 to 6-coordinated silicate via a novel 5-coordinated phase

Abstract This paper reports detailed molecular dynamics simulations over a large pressure-temperature range (0-140 GPa and 300-2000 K) in the Earth’s mantle starting from the upper mantle phase enstatite MgSiO3. The simulated seismic velocities show several discontinuities corresponding to the phase transitions of enstatite. With increasing pressure, enstatite MgSiO3 transforms first to a new novel five-coordinated silicon phase, and then to the lower-mantle perovskite phase involving six-coordinated silicon atoms. The new intermediate phase is crystalline but orientationally disordered. The calculated seismic velocities and densities across the phase transitions for a pure MgSiO3 mantle are consistent with previous estimates. These studies suggest that the major discontinuities between the upper mantle, transition zone, and the lower mantle could arise partially due to the changes in the silicon coordination.
