Parent-Child Attachment and Emotion Regulation Dynamics in Late Middle Childhood

Abstract:Parent–child attachment is robustly associated with typical patterns of emotion regulation but rarely examined in relation to changes in emotion in response to events. We studied how attachment is related to emotion reactivity to positive and negative events and to immediate and delayed emotion recovery from social exclusion. The sample (78% White, 46% girls) included 110 children (9–12 years). Children completed a story stem measure that was scored for security, avoidance, ambivalence, and disorganization. Emotion reactivity and recovery were assessed with child-reported and observer positive affect and negative affect ratings. Parents rated child temperament. More avoidant children showed dampened emotion responding (low reactivity and recovery), whereas more ambivalent children showed heightened emotion responding (high reactivity and recovery). Attachment security, disorganization, and temperament were not consistently related to emotion reactivity or recovery. The findings highlight that emotion regulation occurs in response to contextual changes and is related to attachment.
A New Major Adze Quarry from Nānākuli, O‘ahu: Implications for Interaction Studies in Hawai‘i

A major new basalt adze quarry at Nānākuli Valley, Hawaiian Islands is described which now ranks as one of the two largest on O‘ahu and aside from the Mauna Kea adze quarry complex on Hawai‘i island and the Haleakalā source on Maui, is one of the major quarries in the archipelago. We defined the approximate limits of the quarry complex, located the in situ geological source of the fine-grained basalt used for adze manufacture, report the petrographic and geochemical variability of the source rock, and describe the adze reduction strategies from analysis of adze blanks and preforms, as well as hammerstones and debitage. The geochemical variation of the nine source rocks and artefacts were defined by a comprehensive array of 10 fully quantitative major element concentrations, 43 trace element abundances, and high-precision Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic ratios obtained using the state-of-the-art Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometry (TIMS, for Sr isotopes), Multi-Collector Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (MC-ICP-MS, for Nd-Pb isotopes), quadrupole ICP-MS (for trace elements) and Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES, for major elements), respectively. A piece of branch coral was recovered from the surface of a rockshelter that provided a U-series date of possible quarry use in the mid-13th century. It is advocated that a comprehensive range of major and trace element concentrations and Sr-Nd-Pb isotopic ratios are required for geochemically characterising adze quarries to facilitate the long-term viability of sourcing studies.
Reduced Relapse-Free Survival in Colorectal Cancer Patients with Elevated Soluble CD40 Ligand Levels Improved by Vitamin D Supplementation

Although elevated serum levels of soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) were reported in patients with cancer, the importance of high sCD40L levels in clinical oncology remains unknown. We conducted a post hoc analysis of the AMATERASU randomized clinical trial of vitamin D3 supplementation (2000 IU/day) in patients with digestive tract cancer to assess its significance. Serum sCD40L levels were measured by ELISA in 294 residual samples, and were divided into tertiles. In patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), 5-year relapse-free survival (RFS) rates in the middle and highest tertiles were 61.6% and 61.2%, respectively, which was significantly lower than 83.8% in the lowest tertile. A Cox proportional hazard analysis showed that the lowest tertile had a significantly lower risk of relapse or death than the highest tertile even with multivariate adjustment (hazard ratio (HR), 0.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.11–0.80; p = 0.016). In the subgroup of CRC patients with the highest tertile of sCD40L, the 5-year RFS rate in the vitamin D group was 77.9%, which was significantly higher than 33.2% in the placebo group (HR, 0.30; 95% CI, 0.11–0.81; p = 0.018 [Pinteraction = 0.04]). In conclusion, elevated sCD40L might be a biomarker of poor prognosis in patients with CRC, but vitamin D supplementation might improve RFS in patients with high sCD40L.
Epeiric sedimentation and sea level: synthetic ecostratigraphy

Carbonate strata from the central parts of epicontinental seas are ideal for detailed biostratigraphic study of eustatic sea level change. Using a model for epeiric seas in which carbonate accumulation rate is depth-dependent, we derive synthetic stratigraphies for sea level histories simulating post-glacial transgression and constant and sinusoidally fluctuating ridge volume increase. These sea level histories give distinctively different trends for water depth as a function of stratigraphic position in sections' bathymetric curves. In general, depth is proportional to the rate of sea level rise. Depth-dependent sedimentation leads to a time lag between sea level fluctuation and corresponding depth fluctuation which, as examples show, can approach 106 years for depth fluctuations of only a few meters – a fundamental consideration in reconstructing sea level curves, time-correlating sections by their bathymetric curves, and attempting to relate bathymetric history on continents to mechanisms driving sea level change. Bathymetric curves based on gradient analysis of fossil assemblages (coenocorrelation curves) for Middle Ordovician sections in New York and the American Midwest approximate patterns for sinusoidally increasing sea level. The model's predictions are tested in an ‘artificial experiment’ that takes advantage of differential subsidence between the craton's middle and its edge to make a difference in the bathymetric histories of sections that otherwise record the same sea level history. Depth fluctuations of no more than a few meters over million year spans are potentially useful in time-correlation to within fractions of a cycle's period. The depth-dependence in sedimentation was that, above wave base, net accumulation per year was very roughly three-millionths the water depth. Association of volcanic ash layers with transitory sea level minima on the craton, and with onset of more rapid subduction in the Taconic are - continent collision zone, suggests interrelationship on a million year scale between sea level and large-scale tectonic phenomena.
Climate of the Greenland ice sheet using a high-resolution climate model – Part 2: Near-surface climate and energy balance

The spatial variability of near-surface variables and surface energy balance components over the Greenland ice sheet are presented, using the output of a regional atmospheric climate model for the period 1958-2008. The model was evaluated in Part 1 of this paper. The near-surface temperature over the ice sheet is affected by surface elevation, latitude, longitude, large-scale and small-scale advection, occurrence of summer melt and mesoscale topographical features. The atmospheric boundary layer is characterised by a strong temperature inversion, due to continuous longwave cooling of the surface. In combination with a gently sloping surface the radiative loss maintains a persistent katabatic wind. This radiative heat loss is mainly balanced by turbulent sensible heat transport towards the surface. In summer, the surface is near radiative balance, resulting in lower wind speeds. Absorption of shortwave radiation and a positive subsurface heat flux due to refreezing melt water are heat sources for surface sublimation and melt. The strongest temperature deficits (>13 °C) are found on the northeastern slopes, where the strongest katabatic winds (>9 m s-1) and lowest relative humidity (
Degassing of rhyolitic magma during ascent and emplacement

The degassing history of a rhyolitic igneous system was documented from analyses of drill core samples through the extrusive and intrusive portions of Obsidian Dome and of surface samples of associated tephra. The initial volatile composition of the Inyo magma was estimated to be 4.0 wt % H2O, 500 ppm F, 800 ppm Cl, and 80 ppm S. Retained volatile contents of glassy and crystalline samples reflect the effects of decompression and second boiling. Decompression is rapid and involves loss of water-rich fluid until a close approach to lithostatic equilibrium is achieved. Second boiling is a slower process and produces a chlorine-rich fluid, some of which can be trapped during development of extremely fine crystallization textures. Nearly complete dewatering during decompression of surface-extruded magma strongly undercools the system (ΔT ≈ 175°C), suppressing crystallization and yielding glassy rhyolitic lava. Partial degassing of shallowly intruded magma permits pervasive crystallization even at high cooling rates. The subvolcanic intrusive regime is the zone of maximum volatile release because second boiling is incomplete in extrusives, and volatile-bearing crystalline phases are stable in magma crystallized at greater depth.
Pro-Poor Growth in Andean Countries

This paper studies the pro-poor growth in the Latino American Andean countries. We first present different definitions of pro-poorness and the related methods in order to generate the statistically robust results for classes of pro-poor measures. Also, we present the non anonymous pro-poor approach and we propose also a new method to study the inter-temporal pro-poor growth with the aim to capture the change of wellbeing of the poor over time. We apply these procedures to five L.A. countries, which are Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Venezuela for the period between 2005 and 2010. In general, we find strong statistical evidence that the Andean L.A. countries growths have been absolutely and relatively pro-poor for the period between 2005 and 2010. However, the 2008 world economic crisis has affected temporarily growth and the latter was not absolutely pro-poor during this economic crisis. Starting from 2009, the L.A. countries have registered a remarkable economic recovery. This recovery has helped to growth to absolutely pro-poor and thus, to continue to reduce poverty in this region of world.
Which type of crop insurance for Kazakhstan? Empirical results

Risk plays an important role in agricultural decision-making, particularly in those regions that are remarkably exposed to natural hazards and underdeveloped input and output markets. This is especially true for crop production in CIS countries where many farms have to deal with low liquidity and sharp continental climate at the same time. The discussion paper analyses the results of expert interviews, a workshop with key-informants and a farm survey which investigated production conditions, risk attitudes and risk management techniques with respect to the requirements of a functioning crop insurance system in Kazakhstan.
Preparation and evaluation of brownies soft biscuit from non-wheat flour using date molasses

The effect of fortification of brownies soft biscuit, which prepared from corn and rice flours as a non - wheat flour with different levels of date molasses (DM) as a natural source of iron and other nutrients on the quality was studied. The results showed that RF+60%DM describing the extreme sensory evaluation points followed by RF+70%DM then CF+60% then CF+70% DM. Physical properties tests of biscuits showed that the volume of biscuits significantly increased (p<0.05) by increasing the ratio of DM up to 60% and 70%. Texture results showed that firmness at zero time were lower for CF+50%DM (14.69), CF+ 60% DM (8.53), RF+ 50% DM (13.22) and RF+ 60% DM (7.74). There is a direct relationship between the increase in the ratio of date molasses and the increase in the values of K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn and Mn in produced soft biscuits. Iron contents results of RF+ 70% DM, RF+ 60% DM and CF+ 70% DM were 3.85, 3.67 and 3.35 mg/100 gm biscuit products respectively. They give the highest values of iron contents. Consumed of 100 gm of biscuits made by enrichment with 50 or 60 % of DM in the biscuit's dough give about 26.5 to 34.4 % for adolescent males and 19.5 to 24.5% for adolescent females.
Regulation of microglial responses after pediatric traumatic brain injury: exploring the role of SHIP-1

Introduction Severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the world’s leading cause of permanent neurological disability in children. TBI-induced neurological deficits may be driven by neuroinflammation post-injury. Abnormal activity of SH2 domain-containing inositol 5′ phosphatase-1 (SHIP-1) has been associated with dysregulated immunological responses, but the role of SHIP-1 in the brain remains unclear. The current study investigated the immunoregulatory role of SHIP-1 in a mouse model of moderate–severe pediatric TBI. Methods SHIP-1+/− and SHIP-1−/− mice underwent experimental TBI or sham surgery at post-natal day 21. Brain gene expression was examined across a time course, and immunofluorescence staining was evaluated to determine cellular immune responses, alongside peripheral serum cytokine levels by immunoassays. Brain tissue volume loss was measured using volumetric analysis, and behavior changes both acutely and chronically post-injury. Results Acutely, inflammatory gene expression was elevated in the injured cortex alongside increased IBA-1 expression and altered microglial morphology; but to a similar extent in SHIP-1−/− mice and littermate SHIP-1+/− control mice. Similarly, the infiltration and activation of CD68-positive macrophages, and reactivity of GFAP-positive astrocytes, was increased after TBI but comparable between genotypes. TBI increased anxiety-like behavior acutely, whereas SHIP-1 deficiency alone reduced general locomotor activity. Chronically, at 12-weeks post-TBI, SHIP-1−/− mice exhibited reduced body weight and increased circulating cytokines. Pro-inflammatory gene expression in the injured hippocampus was also elevated in SHIP-1−/− mice; however, GFAP immunoreactivity at the injury site in TBI mice was lower. TBI induced a comparable loss of cortical and hippocampal tissue in both genotypes, while SHIP-1−/− mice showed reduced general activity and impaired working memory, independent of TBI. Conclusion Together, evidence does not support SHIP-1 as an essential regulator of brain microglial morphology, brain immune responses, or the extent of tissue damage after moderate–severe pediatric TBI in mice. However, our data suggest that reduced SHIP-1 activity induces a greater inflammatory response in the hippocampus chronically post-TBI, warranting further investigation.
Nitrate and chloride pollution of aquifers: A regional study with the aid of a single‐cell model

A single-cell model was used to study the regional chloride and nitrate pollution patterns in part of the coastal aquifer of Israel. The model integrates pollution sources on the land surface, hydrologic parameters of the aquifer and the unsaturated zone, and variations of chloride and nitrate concentration distribution in pumping wells. Complicated hydrologic and biochemical processes in the unsaturated zone are simplified and represented by two basic parameters, transit time from land surface to the aquifer and nitrogen losses in the soil. A working hypothesis is used here to show that linear relationships exist between nitrogen quantities released on the surface and the quantities reaching the water table. Chloride and nitrate balances have been studied simultaneously. The effective volume of groundwater in the mixing zone of the aquifer was interpreted from the concentration variations of the chloride ion which is a conservative tracer. This value was used later for determining other parameters of the nitrogen terrestrial cycle. The calibration of the model, by reconstructing present pollution levels, enabled its use for prediction purposes. The Monte Carlo technique was introduced to determine the range of predicted average groundwater concentrations as a function of time; this gives a probabilistic expression to the uncertainty in defining the pollution mechanism and difficulties in calibrating the model parameters. The forecasts presented here call for urgent protection measures in order to meet drinking water standards for maximum nitrate concentrations. An aggravating factor is the time lag between measures taken to decrease the pollutant load on the surface and the response of the aquifer system. Thirteen alternative protection measures are examined here and compared to predictions based on present nitrogen loads and hydrologic regime. They include advanced treatment of sewage waters prior to their recharge to the aquifer, reduction of fertilizer dosage to crops, and exchange of nitrate-contaminated groundwater by low-nitrate surface waters. The exchange relationships between these measures are derived, and they can be used later for evaluating economic criteria for protecting groundwater quality.
Exosomal miR-205-5p Improves Endometrial Receptivity by Upregulating E-Cadherin Expression through ZEB1 Inhibition

Endometrial receptivity is a complex process that prepares the uterine endometrium for embryo implantation; insufficient endometrial receptivity is one of the causes of implantation failure. Here, we analyzed the microRNA expression profiles of exosomes derived from both receptive (RL95-2) and non-receptive (AN3-CA) endometrial epithelial cell (EEC) lines to identify exosomal miRNAs closely linked to endometrial receptivity. Among the 466 differentially expressed miRNAs, miR-205-5p was the most highly expressed in exosomes secreted from receptive RL95-2 cells. miR-205-5p, enriched at the adhesive junction, was closely related to endometrial receptivity. ZEB1, a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin associated with endometrial receptivity, was identified as a direct target of miR-205-5p. miR-205-5p expression was significantly lower in the endometrial tissues of infertile women than in that of non-infertile women. In vivo, miR-205-5p expression was upregulated in the post-ovulatory phase, and its inhibitor reduced embryo implantation. Furthermore, administration of genetically modified exosomes overexpressing miR-205-5p mimics upregulated E-cadherin expression by targeting ZEB1 and improved spheroid attachment of non-receptive AN3-CA cells. These results suggest that the miR-205-5p/ZEB1/E-cadherin axis plays an important role in regulating endometrial receptivity. Thus, the use of exosomes harboring miR-205-5p mimics can be considered a potential therapeutic approach for improving embryo implantation.

Microcline porphyroblasts in the Moinian rocks of the Western Highlands

Synopsis In the Moinian rocks of western Inverness-shire microcline porphyroblasts are widely developed in the pelitic and semipelitic schists outside the zone of regional migmatisation. Field evidence and textural relationships indicate that microcline crystallised in segregations prior to the formation of the local F2 folds and also as post-F2 porphyroblasts. Both types were rotated by F3 folds. Associated mineral assemblages show that the porphyroblasts were stable in the lower amphibolite or greenschist/amphibolite transition facies of regional metamorphism. A contrast is drawn between such potash-rich (garnet-) biotite-bearing pelites which are widespread in the Moinian, and potash-deficient Dalradian pelites which, according to other workers, commonly lack biotite.
Temporal and spatial dispersal of
 Thekopsora areolata
 basidiospores, aeciospores, and urediniospores

Cherry spruce rust causes huge yield losses in Norway spruce seed production in Fennoscandia. The causal agent, Thekopsora areolata , has three types of spores that disperse during spring: basidiospores are produced on basidia that grow out from teli-ospores in overwintered bird cherry leaf litter to infect new pistillate spruce cones, aeciospores are released from old diseased spruce cones to infect bird cherry leaves, and urediniospores are produced from new bird cherry leaves for reinfection. No study has examined the dispersal of T . areolata spores, including the basidiospores that cause primary infection in spruce cones. In this study, teliospores of T . areolata were germinated in the laboratory and the morphology of basidiospores was described. T . areolata spores were sampled in Ultuna, Sweden and Joutsa, Finland with 21 spore traps at each site. Peaks in aeciospores were observed from 11 to 25 May and from 2 to 8 June at the Finnish site, and from 4 to 18 May at the Swedish site. Urediniospores were first observed 2– 3 weeks after the peaks in aeciospores and they were mainly distributed within 10 m from the bird cherry trees. Peaks of 1– 2 weeks in basidi-ospore detection coincided with multiple rain events. The basidiospore peak overlapped with the spruce pollen peak in Finland but not in Sweden. The quantities of basidiospores from different spore traps within 100 m from the spore source had no gradient. Information on spatial and temporal spore release is important for making decisions on disease management strategies.
