PERSONALITY PROCESSES AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES Using Reappraisal to Regulate Negative Emotion After the 2016 U.S. Presidential Election: Does Emotion Regulation Trump Political Action?

Political action (volunteering, protesting) is central to functioning democracies, and action is often motivated by negative emotion. However, theories of emotion regulation suggest that people often strive to decrease such negative emotions. Thus, effective emotion regulation (e.g., reappraisal)—while helping people feel better—could have the unintended consequence of hindering political action. We tested this hypothesis in Clinton voters after the 2016 U.S. election (Ntotal 1552). Studies 1a (conducted November 2016) and 1b (conducted November 2016, with a follow-up in January 2017) assessed individuals’ recent use of reappraisal in managing emotions evoked by the election. Studies 2a and 2b (conducted March 2017) exposed individuals to Trump-focused news footage and assessed individuals’ reappraisal during the clip and subsequent emotional responses. Studies 3a and 3b (conducted June 2017) experimentally manipulated reappraisal and measured subsequent emotional responses to Trump-focused news footage. Each study assessed recent or intended political action. In Studies 1a and 1b, we found that reappraisal predicted lower political action; in Studies 2a and 2b we observed an indirect effect such that reappraisal predicted lower negative emotion which in turn accounted for lower intentions to engage in political action; and Studies 3a and 3b provided experimental evidence for this indirect effect. These results suggest that effective emotion regulation like reappraisal may be beneficial in the short-run by helping restore emotional well-being after upsetting political events but may also be costly in the long-run by reducing the potential for productive political action.
Factor Structure of English-Language Personality Type-Nouns

Although type-nouns (e.g., idiot, hero) are important in person description, lexical studies of personality have concentrated on adjectives. This study tested structural hypotheses using 372 highly familiar English-language type-nouns and descriptions by 607 participants of either themselves, a liked, or a disliked target person. Oneand 2-factor structures were most robust, and replicated similar structures found in previous adjectival studies. Additionally, the structure with 8 orthogonal factors had good replicability and applicability within singlegender subsamples; as in previous studies of type-nouns, it included factors corresponding directly to Extraversion and Intellect/Openness, but also to Attractiveness and Masculinity (or Ruggedness). The Big Five was only weakly replicated. Personality taxonomies based on adjectives are unlikely to be comprehensive, because type-nouns have different content emphases.
Le risque trypanosomien : une approche globale pour une décision locale

En Afrique sub-saharienne, les trypanosomoses ("maladie du sommeil" chez l'homme et "Nagana" chez le betail) demeurent des contraintes majeures pour la sante humaine et animale. Dans la zone soudanienne ouest-africaine, particulierement infestee par deux glossines riveraines (Glossina tachinoides et Glossina palpalis gambiensis), le cycle parasitaire peut etre interrompu par une lutte contre ces vecteurs en utilisant des pieges mecaniques ou/et des pieges vivants (betail impregne d'insecticides). Afin de la rendre compatible avec les capacites techniques et financieres des populations rurales, elle doit etre spatialement la plus ciblee possible. Cet objectif a guide la demarche presentee. Sur 1300 km2 d'une zone agropastorale du Burkina Faso, l'etude vise a comprendre le fonctionnement du systeme parasitaire (trypanosomes/glossines/hotes) en liaison avec son environnement en vue d'identifier les zones a risques. Les relations sante/environnement sont alors abordees par le recueil de couches d'informations thematiques georeferencees sur les systemes parasitaire, agroecologique et socioeconomique, qui seront "interroges" a travers un Systeme d'information geographique (SIG).
PERSONALITY PROCESSES AND INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES The Double-Edged Sword of Leader Charisma : Understanding the Curvilinear Relationship Between Charismatic Personality and Leader Effectiveness

This study advanced knowledge on charisma by (a) introducing a new personality-based model to conceptualize and assess charisma and by (b) investigating curvilinear relationships between charismatic personality and leader effectiveness. Moreover, we delved deeper into this curvilinear association by (c) examining moderation by the leader’s level of adjustment and by (d) testing a process model through which the effects of charismatic personality on effectiveness are explained with a consideration of specific leader behaviors. Study 1 validated HDS charisma (Hogan Development Survey) as a useful trait-based measure of charisma. In Study 2 a sample of leaders (N 306) were assessed in the context of a 360-degree development center. In line with the too-much-of-a-good-thing effect, an inverted U-shaped relationship between charismatic personality and observer-rated leader effectiveness was found, indicating that moderate levels are better than low or high levels of charisma. Study 3 (N 287) replicated this curvilinear relationship and further illustrated the moderating role of leader adjustment, in such a way that the inflection point after which the effects of charisma turn negative occurs at higher levels of charisma when adjustment is high. Nonlinear mediation modeling further confirmed that strategic and operational leader behaviors fully mediate the curvilinear relationship. Leaders low on charisma are less effective because they lack strategic behavior; highly charismatic leaders are less effective because they lack operational behavior. In sum, this work provides insight into the dispositional nature of charisma and uncovers the processes through which and conditions under which leader charisma translates into (in)effectiveness.

Acacia pendula (Weeping Myall) in the Hunter Valley of New South Wales: early explorers' journals, database records and habitat assessments raise doubts over naturally occurring populations

Acacia pendula, Weeping Myall, (family Fabaceae) is the most legislatively protected plant species in the New South Wales Hunter Valley. Under the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995 it is listed as an Endangered Population (in the Hunter Valley) and as a component of two Endangered Ecological Communities (one in the Hunter, one elsewhere in NSW); it is also listed as a Critically Endangered Ecological Community (in the Hunter Valley) on the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and listed as threatened in three other eastern Australian States. To ascertain the likely original distribution of stands of Acacia pendula in the Hunter Valley, this paper examines the writings of early Australian explorers, herbarium and database records, and the species habitat attributes across NSW. None of the journals examined, including those of botanist/explorer Allan Cunningham (who originally collected Acacia pendula from the Lachlan River in 1817), Thomas Mitchell or Ludwig Leichhardt, make note of the species for the Hunter Valley. Several explorers do, however, record Acacia pendula regularly (>100 times) across other parts of NSW, Queensland, and South Australia. Historical herbarium and database records show a paucity of records from the Hunter prior to the year 2000, after which a 37-fold increase in observations since 1951 is apparent. For the first 128 years of botanical exploration (1823 to 1951), there are no validated collections or records of Acacia pendula from the Hunter Valley. The single exception is a specimen collected by Cunningham from 1825 (lodged at Kew, UK), purported to be from 'Hunters River', but which is morphologically different to other collections of Acacia pendula from that time. There is some uncertainty over the origins of this specimen. Analysis of habitats supporting Acacia pendula in NSW outside of the Hunter show them to differ significantly in geological age, soil type, rainfall and elevation from those in the Hunter. Collectively, these findings provide a strong circumstantial case that Acacia pendula was absent from the Hunter at the time of European settlement; this has important implications for the conservation and management of Hunter stands. Rather than being a threatened species in the Hunter Valley, it is postulated that Acacia pendula has been intentionally and/or accidentally introduced to the region, and may now be imposing a new and emerging threat to the endangered grassy woodlands and forests there. There is now an urgent need for genetic studies to clarify the origins of the current Hunter Valley stands, and to define the taxonomic limits of Acacia pendula and its close relatives.
Episodic porphyroblast growth in the Fleur de Lys Supergroup, Newfoundland: timing relative to the sequential development of multiple crenulation cleavages

Inclusion trails in garnet and albite porphyroblasts in the Fleur de Lys Supergroup preserve successive generations of microstructures, some of which correlate with equivalent microstructures in the matrix. Microstructure–porphyroblast relationships provide timing constraints on a succession of seven crenulation cleavages (S1–S7) and five stages of porphyroblast growth. Significant destruction and alteration of early fabrics has occurred during the microstructural development of the rock mass. Garnet porphyroblasts grew episodically through four growth stages (G1–G4) and preserve a succession of five fabrics (S1–S5) as inclusion trails. Garnet growth during each of the four growth phases did not occur on all pre‐existing porphyroblasts, resulting in contrasting growth histories between individual garnet porphyroblasts from the same outcrop. Albite porphyroblasts grew during a single stage of growth and have overgrown microstructures continuous with the matrix. The garnet and albite porphyroblast inclusion trails record a succession of crenulation cleavages without any rotation of the porphyroblasts relative to other porphyroblasts in the population.
Towards an upper Paleocene-lower Eocene high resolution stratigraphy based on calcareous nannofossil stratigraphy

A fourfold subdivision of the NP10 zonal interval is proposed based on calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphic events associated with lineages in the genus Tribrachiatus. This subdivision, based on a detailed analysis of DSDP Site 550, provides a reliable means of determining relative completeness of upper Paleocene-lower Eocene sections in deep-sea as well as epicontinental settings. By means of calibration to magnetochronology it affords a fine chronologic resolution for Biochron NP10. Correlation of planktonic foraminiferal Zones P5 to P6b to the proposed subzonal scheme as seen in Hole 550 is presented. Carbon isotopic trends in the four NP10 subzones as seen in Hole 550 are also given. The proposed subdivision rests largely upon the range of a new species described herein, Tribrachiatus digitalis. This species has a broad geographic distribution and a restricted range in Zone NP10. The concept of Zone NP10 was recently modified to conform to the proposal that Rhomboaster cuspis and Tribrachiatus bramlettei are synonymous, a view that is not shared here. The structural differences between nannoliths assigned to Rhomboaster and Tribrachiatus are clarified and it is shown that R. cuspis and T. bramlettei are discrete taxa. The main consequence of the new zonal scheme is that it allows the determination of a level equivalent to the base of the London Clay Formation in marine sections outside of northwestern Europe. It is inferred from this that the age of the basal transgression of the London Clay Formation (Walton Member) is 54.37 Ma.
Consideration of Proposals for Amendment of Appendices I and Ii Inclusion in Appendix Ii, with the following Annotation

The entry into effect of the inclusion of Carcharhinus longimanus in Appendix II of CITES will be delayed by 18 months to enable Parties to resolve the related technical and administrative issues. Annex 2a, Criterion A. It is known, or can be inferred or projected, that the regulation of trade in the species is necessary to avoid it becoming eligible for inclusion in Appendix I in the near future. The species qualifies for inclusion in Appendix II under this criterion because it is over-exploited for its fins, which are large and highly valued in trade. This low-productivity species is also harvested as bycatch in global pelagic fisheries. The greatest threats to this species worldwide are harvest for the international fin trade and bycatch, which have led to declines of 60-70% in the northwest and central Atlantic Ocean and up to a 10-fold decline in abundance from the baseline in the central Pacific Ocean. Based upon rates of exploitation, this species is likely to become threatened with extinction unless international trade regulation provides an incentive to introduce or improve monitoring and management measures to provide a basis for non-detriment and legal acquisition findings. 1 The United States believes that, where indicated, the criteria and definitions must be applied with flexibility and in context. This is consistent with the " Note " at the beginning of Annex 5 in Resolution Conf. 9.24 (Rev. CoP14): " Where numerical guidelines are cited in this Annex, they are presented only as examples, since it is impossible to give numerical values that are applicable to all taxa because of differences in their biology. " The definition of " decline " in Annex 5 is relevant to the determination of whether a species meets either criterion in Annex 2a of the resolution. Nonetheless, the United States believes that it is possible for a species to meet the criteria and qualify for listing in Appendix II even if it does not meet the specific parameters provided in the definition of " decline. " Where quantitative data are available, they should be used to evaluate a species' status. However, where data on population abundance are not available but there are indications that over-exploitation is or may be occurring (i.e., " it is known, or can be inferred or projected ") and the regulation of trade could benefit the conservation of the species, listing should be supported.
Scales and magnitude of hyporheic, river–aquifer and bank storage exchange fluxes

Many studies have investigated the exchange processes that occur between rivers and groundwater systems and have successfully quantified the water fluxes involved. Specifically, these exchange processes include hyporheic exchange, river–aquifer exchange (groundwater discharge and river loss) and bank storage exchange. Remarkably, there are relatively few examples of field studies where more than one exchange process is quantified, and as a consequence, the relationships between them are not well understood. To compare the relative magnitudes of these common exchange processes, we have collected data from 54 studies that have quantified one or more of these exchange flux types. Each flux value is plotted against river discharge at the time of measurement to allow the different exchange flux types to be compared. We show that there are positive relationships between the magnitude of each exchange flux type and increasing river discharge across the different studies. For every one order of magnitude increase in river discharge, the hyporheic, river–aquifer and bank storage exchange fluxes increase by factors of 2.7, 2.9 and 2.5, respectively. On average, hyporheic exchange fluxes are almost an order of magnitude greater than river–aquifer exchange fluxes, which are, in turn, approximately four times greater than bank storage exchange fluxes for the same river discharge. Unless measurement approaches that can distinguish between different types of exchange flux are used, there is potential for hyporheic exchange fluxes to be misinterpreted as river–aquifer exchange fluxes, with possible implications for water resource management decisions.

Prevalence of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease at a Tertiary Care Center in Saudi Arabia

Objectives: To determine the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in patients who received abdominal imaging and to assess the clinical and metabolic characteristics of NAFLD. Methods: This is a retrospective study of 500 family medicine patients (aged 18 years and older) who completed abdominal imaging at King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from January 2016 through June 2020. Results: The patients enrolled had a mean age of 49.41 ± 14.80 years, with 300 females and 349 of Saudi nationality. The mean body mass index (BMI) was 29.43 ± 6.61 kg/m2, while 373 of the enrolled subjects were either overweight or obese. Half of our patients had some form of fatty liver in the imaging results. Regarding chronic medical conditions, 33.4%, 31.4%, and 29.4% had a history of hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), and dyslipidemia, respectively. The mean Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index was 0.94 ± 0.72. Body mass index was higher among fatty liver patients (p = 0.001). Hypertension, coronary artery disease, dyslipidemia, and DM2 were more common in the fatty liver group. Conclusion: Our findings reiterate the significance of obesity and the coexistence of cardiovascular risk factors in NAFLD. Further studies are needed to corroborate and expand our findings, enabling more refined strategies for the prevention, risk prediction, early detection, and management of NAFLD.
Smoke and fire characteristics for cerrado and deforestation burns in Brazil: BASE-B experiment

Fires of the tropical forests and savannas are a major source of particulate matter and trace gases affecting the atmosphere globally. A paucity of quantitative information exists for these ecosystems with respect to fuel biomass, smoke emissions, and fire behavior conditions affecting the release of emissions. Five test fires were performed during August and September 1990 in the cerrado (savannalike region) in central Brazil (three fires) and tropical moist forest (two fires) in the eastern Amazon. This paper details the gases released, the ratios of the gases to each other and to particulate matter, fuel loads and the fraction consumed (combustion factors), and the fire behavior associated with biomass consumption. Models are presented for evaluating emission factors for CH4, CO2, CO, H2, and particles less than 2.5 μm diameter (PM2.5) as a function of combustion efficiency. The ratio of carbon released as CO2 (combustion efficiency) for the cerrado fires averaged 0.94 and for the deforestation fires it decreased from 0.88 for the flaming phase to <0.80 during the smoldering phase of combustion. For tropical ecosystems, emissions of most products of incomplete combustion are projected to be lower than previous estimates for savanna ecosystems and somewhat higher for fires used for deforestation purposes.
Gender differences in the association between physical frailty and life satisfaction among older adults in India

One of the sustainable development goals' (SDGs) primary goals (Goal 3) is to ensure healthy lives and promote well‐being for persons of all ages. While extensive literature documents the link between physical frailty and low life satisfaction (LLS) among older adults, research of this nature is limited within low and middle‐income countries including India. The purpose of this study was to examine the association between physical frailty and life satisfaction among community‐dwelling older men and women in India.
Gender Differences in the Association Between Sarcopenia and Depressive Symptoms Among Community-Dwelling Older People in a Chinese Suburban Area

Introduction Sarcopenia and depressive symptoms are common disorders in older people; however, there is lacking for studies focus on the association between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms by gender. Thus, we investigate gender differences in the association between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms. Methods 1119 participants aged ≥65 were included in our study. Sarcopenia was defined as no sarcopenia, possible sarcopenia, general sarcopenia, and severe sarcopenia by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia 2019 consensus. Depressive symptoms were assessed by the Geriatric Depression Scale-15. The logistic regression analysis was used to identify the association between sarcopenia and depressive symptoms. Results No sarcopenia and severe sarcopenia were significantly inversely and positively associated with depressive symptoms only in women. In men, low appendicular skeletal muscle mass index was significantly inversely associated with depressive symptoms. In women, low gait speed was significantly inversely associated with depressive symptoms, while poor 5-time chair stand test was significantly positively associated with depressive symptoms. Conclusion Our study found that sarcopenia and its diagnostic elements were significantly associated with depressive symptoms in men or women. Interventions for muscle mass and physical performance are necessary for sarcopenia to prevent the development of depressive symptoms timely.
A New Approach to Stochastically Generating Six-Monthly Rainfall Sequences Based on Empirical Mode Decomposition

Abstract This paper introduces a new approach to stochastically generating rainfall sequences that can take into account natural climate phenomena, such as the El Nino–Southern Oscillation and the interdecadal Pacific oscillation. The approach is also amenable to modeling projected affects of anthropogenic climate change. The method uses a relatively new technique, empirical mode decomposition (EMD), to decompose a historical rainfall series into several independent time series that have different average periods and amplitudes. These time series are then recombined to form an intradecadal time series and an interdecadal time series. After separate stochastic generation of these two series, because they are independent, they can be recombined by summation to form a replicate equivalent to the historical data. The approach was applied to generate 6-monthly rainfall totals for six rainfall stations located near Canberra, Australia. The cross correlations were preserved by carrying out the stochastic analysi.
CRETACEOUS TETRAPOD FOOTPRINT BIOSTRATIGRAPHY, BIOCHRONOLOGY, AND ICHNOFACIES

The global record of Cretaceous tetrapod footprints is dominated by the tracks of non-avian dinosaurs and birds; fewer tracks are known of pterosaurs, crocodylians, turtles, mammals, and other tetrapods. The Cretaceous track record is best known from East Asia (especially China and Korea) and western North America. A moderately extensive record is also known from South America (primarily Argentina and Brazil), but Cretaceous track assemblages from Europe, Africa, and Australia are much more poorly known. Here, we re-examine two global footprint biochrons based on the Cretaceous tetrapod footprint record. An Early Cretaceous biochron is characterized by sauropod and ornithopod tracks. A Late Cretaceous biochron has fewer sauropod tracks but adds the tracks of hadrosaurs, tyrannosaurids, and
