Does repetitive negative thinking mediate the relationship between perfectionistic concerns and cognitive test anxiety?

ABSTRACT Background and Objectives Test anxiety, particularly cognitive test anxiety, is negatively associated with academic performance. Previous research has demonstrated that higher levels of perfectionistic concerns predict higher levels of cognitive test anxiety but has not explored potential mediators of this relationship. This study investigated whether repetitive negative thinking mediated the relationship between perfectionistic concerns and cognitive test anxiety in a non-clinical, academic sample. Methods Participants were Australian university students (N = 129, 32 male, 94 female, 3 non-binary), aged between 18 and 53 (M = 23.96; SD = 6.88), recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. Participants completed an online questionnaire assessing demographics, repetitive negative thinking, perfectionistic concerns, and cognitive test anxiety. Results Mediation analysis yielded a total model accounting for 43.5% of variance in cognitive TA. Perfectionistic concerns significantly accounted for 10.6% of variance direction (F(1, 127) = 12.21, p < . 001, = . 106), and 32.5% indirectly through RNT (F(2,126) = 30.81, p < . 001, = . 329). Conclusions Findings demonstrate that RNT significantly mediates the relationship between perfectionistic concerns and cognitive test anxiety in this sample. Importantly, these findings may direct future studies towards investigating the effectiveness of targeting repetitive negative thinking in interventions to mitigate levels of cognitive test anxiety.
Preservation of Sexual Function 5 Years After Water Vapor Thermal Therapy for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia

Background Erectile dysfunction (ED) and ejaculatory dysfunction (EjD) are known outcomes of traditional surgery and some pharmacotherapies for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Minimally invasive treatment options, including water vapor thermal therapy (WVTT), are now available to treat lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH. Aim The objective of this analysis was to evaluate long-term impact of a single water vapor thermal therapy procedure on erectile and ejaculatory function in subjects enrolled in the Rezum II prospective, multicenter, randomized, blinded controlled trial. Methods Fifteen centers enrolled 197 subjects with International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) ≥ 13, maximum flow rate (Qmax) ≤ 15 mL/s, and prostate volume 30–80 cc. Subjects were randomized (2:1) to (WVTT) or sham procedure (control) and followed for 5 years. Erectile and ejaculatory functions were quantitatively assessed at baseline and yearly thereafter. After 3 months, control subjects could opt to requalify for cross-over to WVTT and were followed for 5 years. Results of the per protocol analysis were reported previously. The current post hoc analysis was performed on all treated subjects who were sexually active at baseline with no other surgical or medical management for BPH during the 5-year study period. Outcomes LUTS was evaluated using IPSS, Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Impact Index (BPHII), and Qmax. Sexual function was assessed using the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-EF) and Male Sexual Health Questionnaire for Ejaculatory Dysfunction (MSHQ-EjD). Results A total of 197 subjects (136 treated, 61 control) were enrolled in the study, and 53 control subjects opted to cross-over and receive WVTT. All subgroups experienced significant, durable improvement in IPSS (P < .0001). Subjects with normal sexual function at baseline had little change in function over 5 years (IIEF-EF: −2.4 ± 8.9, P = .1414; MSHQ-EjD Function: −1.6 ± 3.2, P = .0083; MSHQ-EjD Bother: −0.5 ± 1.6, P = .1107). Subjects with baseline medical history of ED and EjD showed slight decline over time that was not clinically significant (ED, IIEF-EF: −3.0 ± 10.1, P = .1259; MSHQ EjD Function: −2.3 ± 4.7, P = .0158; MSHQ-EjD Bother: −0.1 ± 2.6, P = .7764; EjD, IIEF-EF: −4.1 ± 9.2, P = .0127; MSHQ EjD Function: −1.6 ± 4.8, P = .1970; MSHQ-EjD Bother: −0.4 ± 2.6, P = .440). Clinical Implications Treatment for BPH with Rezum durably improved IPSS without clinically significant impact on sexual function. Patients with baseline ED/EjD may expect continued decline from other causes but are unimpacted by the therapy. Strengths & Limitations, Conclusion The results are limited by the post-hoc nature of the analysis and attrition over the 5-year follow-up but provide long-term evidence of durable outcomes after treatment with Rezum without impact on sexual function scores.

Impact of early ambulation on functionality in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery

Background: Cardiac surgery is a highly complex procedure that aims to increase and prolong the quality of life of patients. The role of physiotherapy in early mobilization after cardiac surgery has shown several benefits to the patient when he presents impairments in terms of functionality. Aim: To evaluate the impact of early ambulation on the functionality of patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery. Materials and Methods: Prospective cohort study in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery. Patients had their functionality assessed preoperatively using the Functional Independence Measurement (FIM) and Perme Intensive Care Unit (ICU) Mobility Score scales. At ICU discharge, they were divided into two groups: walking group (WG) and non-WG (NWG). At discharge, the two functional scales were reapplied in these patients. Pre- and postoperative values were assessed using the independent Student’s t-test. It was considered statistically significant when P<0.05. Results: One hundred and seventy patients were evaluated, 110 (65%) male, with a mean age of 48±2 years. In relation to Perme Score, the WG had a decrease of 11±2 and the NWG had a decrease of 13±2 (P=0.34). Regarding FIM, those who walked had a decrease of 27±3 against those who did not walk, which showed a reduction of 36±5, with a significance level of P<0.001. Conclusion: Based on the FIM data found, patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement surgery who underwent early mobilization had less decrease of functionality compared to patients who did not ambulate. Relevance for Patients: Based on this article, we can demonstrate that walking while still in the ICU environment favors less loss of functionality for patients after valve replacement surgery.
Altitude of the East Asian Coastal Mountains and Their Influence on Asian Climate During Early Late Cretaceous

The East Asian coastal mountains have been in place during the Late Cretaceous times, thus substantially influencing the Asian climate. So far, their altitude is uncertain. Here we investigate the influence of such mountains on Asian climate using an atmosphere‐ocean general circulation model, Community Earth System Model version 1.2. 2. Simulation results show that extensive deserts would develop over the eastern part of the East Asia if the altitude of the coastal mountains was greater than 2 km. This is due to the pumping effect of the coastal mountains which deprives the moisture from the East Asian interior during summer and autumn, leading to less precipitation and greater potential evapotranspiration. The existence of extensive desert areas would be more consistent with the presented Asian paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Therefore, our results independently indicate that the altitude of the coastal mountains had attained 2 km or more by the early Late Cretaceous.
The photosynthetic response of C3 and C4 bioenergy grass species to fluctuating light

Bioenergy grass species are a renewable energy source, but their productivity has not been fully realized. Improving photosynthetic efficiency has been proposed as a mechanism to increase the productivity of bioenergy grass species. Fluctuating light, experienced by all field grown crops, is known to reduce photosynthetic efficiency. This experiment aimed to evaluate the photosynthetic performance of both C3 and C4 bioenergy grass species under steady state and fluctuating light conditions by examining leaf gas exchange. The fluctuating light regime used here decreased carbon assimilation across all species when compared to expected steady state values. Overall, C4 species assimilated more carbon than C3 species during the fluctuating light regime, with both photosynthetic types assimilating about 16% less carbon than expected based on steady state measurements. Little diversity was observed in response to fluctuating light among C3 species, and photorespiration partially contributed to the rapid decreases in net photosynthetic rates during high to low light transitions. In C4 species, differences among the four NADP‐ME species were apparent. Diversity observed among C4 species in this experiment provides evidence that photosynthetic efficiency in response to fluctuating light may be targeted to increase C4 bioenergy grass productivity.
Association of After-school Physical Activity Level and

The aims of this study were to 1) describe the children’s physical activity (PA) pattern during the after-school period and 2) to compare the type and intensity of activity during the after-school period of children with or without participation in organized PA programs. The participants were 456 children from four primary schools in Hong Kong. Self-administered questionnaires were used to measure the PA pattern and intensity level of the children during after-school period. Independent t-test and factorial ANOVA was used for data analysis. Results indicated that children engaged substantial time in light intensity PA during the after-school period. Children who participated in organized PA programs spent fewer time blocks on light intensity PA and more time blocks in vigorous PA. The boys spent more time blocks on high intensity PA than the girls. A structured PA program during the after-school period is a potential intervention strategy to increase children’s PA participation without using up the time intended for children’s homework.
CORRELATION BETWEEN THE DURATION OF LIQUID NITROGEN EXPOSURE WITH THE VIABILITY OF TUMOR TISSUE IN OSTEOSARCOMA PATIENTS AT DR SOETOMOGENERAL HOSPITAL PERIOD 2020

Osteosarcoma is the most common primary malignant bone tumor, but its incidence is very rare, about 1 in 200,000 compared to other malignant neoplasms such as breast cancer and lung cancer. The use of liquid nitrogen graft has advantages compared to other methods, namely bone segments that are given liquid nitrogen have better osteoinductive and osteoconductive abilities, the size and shape of the bones are more compatible for reconstruction, and the procedure is easier than other methods. In a study conducted by Rahman et al (2009) and Igarashi et al (2014) the bone immersion process using liquid nitrogen was carried out for 20 minutes so as to obtain both clinical and histological results.There were 5 treatment groups in osteosarcoma tissue that were treated with cryosurgery, namely the osteosarcoma group with with cryosurgery treatment 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 minutes. At the10th and 15th minute groups still obtained tumor viability with results of 30.5% and 12.25% respectively on staining. Hematoxylin Eosin and 24.9% and 9.6% on immunohistochemical examination. Tumor viability was not obtained or 0% in the 20, 25 and 30 min groups on Hematoxylin Eosin staining and on staining immunohistochemistry.The best minimum time for cryosurgery for primary bone tumor cell therapy is 20 minutes.

Free Energy Landscape of Sodium Solvation into Graphite

Na is known to deliver very low energy capacity for sodium intercalation compared to lithium. In this study, we use quantum mechanics based metadynamics simulations to obtain the free energy landscape for sodium ion intercalation from dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) solvent into graphite. We find that the lowest free energy minima from the metadynamics are associated with sodium solvated by 3 or 4 DMSO. The free energy minima of these states are activated by a free energy of solvation computed to be 0.17 eV (ΔG(Na+@(DMSO)4) – ΔG(Na+@(DMSO)3 ≈ 6.6kBT), which in turn are the most thermodynamically stable. We observe weak interactions of sodium with graphite sheets during the unbiased and biased molecular dynamics simulations. Our simulation results suggest that solvent plays an important role in stabilizing the sodium intercalation into graphite through shielding of the sodium as well as from the interaction of the solvent with the graphite sheets. This suggests that the poor performance of Na is because the nonb.
Production of bio-ethanol from an innovative mixture of surgical waste cotton and waste card board after ammonia pre-treatment

ABSTRACT Ethanol production from waste biomass using a slightly modified bio-refinery approach was performed in this work to cater to the increasing need of alternate fuels and fuel additives globally. A surgical waste cotton and waste packaging cardboard mixture after a 15% v/v ammonia pre-treatment showed 70% lignin removal. An optimized saccharification using In-house Cellulases produced from Trichoderma harzanium ATCC 20846 had a percentage saccharification of 45% and percentage yield saccharification of 94.6%. An optimized fermentation using Saccharomyces cereviseae strain RW143 resulted in the yield of 0.4 g ethanol/g glucose from the 15% (v/v) glucose in the enzymatically saccharified hydrolysate loaded. The distilled ethanol had 90% (v/v) concentration and180 proof (twice the amount of concentration percentage in v/v) purity. 1 kg biomass mixture when processed as mentioned would yield 120 mL ethanol. Two diesel-ethanol blends (E-10 and E-20) and a commercial Diesel control were used to rate an IC engine’s brake power.

Effects of Architectural Components on the Satisfaction Rate of Residents with Different Ages and Genders in Relation to Privacy (Case Study: a Residential Complex in Tabriz)

The main objective of this paper is to assess the effects of architectural components on residential complex to achieve a desirable rate of privacy for the residents. Privacy is a process in which the transactions among individuals can be adjus‌ted by means of providing a suitable relationship between people and their built environment. In addition, since the transaction between the behavior of residents and their built environment is undeniable, providing suitable personal spaces in the residential complex can efficiently improve the satisfaction rate of residents with respect to the privacy which seems to be very essential in urbanized regions with crowded populations. Following this, the present s‌tudy was aimed to survey the effects of architectural components on personal spaces and boundaries of the residential complex, located in Tabriz. So, the research hypothesis was made to better unders‌tand the perception of personal spaces for different groups of residents. The results showed that the perception of personal spaces in residential complexes can be varied depending on different genders and various age groups of residents. Meanwhile, the fixed furniture in the corner of green space decreased the satisfaction rate for both females and males up to the middle age. In addition, the satisfaction rate of females with respect to the item of internal yard increased by increasing their age. Females were observed to be satisfied with the item of semi-open wall among communal spaces at all ages.
Tuning Out the News. A Cross-Media Perspective on News Avoidance Practices of Young News Users in Flanders During the COVID-19 Pandemic

ABSTRACT The coronavirus pandemic sent tremors throughout the news landscape. While the onset of the pandemic appeared to significantly increase news hunger, soon after, studies reported an uptick in what they termed “coronablocking”: the conscious avoidance of coronavirus related news. Younger age groups in particular appeared more likely to engage in coronablocking. This article seeks to contribute to extant research by providing a textured account of how and why young news users avoid the news. To explore these questions, we conducted 25 in-depth interviews with Belgian news users under the age of 35. We propose that news avoidance practices are fluid, as news avoidance was often preceded by moments of increased news consumption, and inherently connected to the specific spatiotemporal context of users and enacted within their broader media repertoire. In our analysis, we discuss the user-identified characteristics which lead users to a ‘tipping point’, at which point they avoided the news to varying degrees by reconfiguring their media repertoire. Three types of reconfigurations are identified: tuning out news content, regulating the flow of information, and controlling the tone of voice, all of which underline users’ agency in shaping their repertoires to avoid the news.
The clinical outcomes regarding to tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes in the breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy

Objective: Host immune system is a new research area of breast cancer treatment. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) as an immunologic marker may influence the patients clinical outcome. The aim of this study was to explore the prognostic and predictive roles of TILs in our breast cancer patients treated with neoadjuvant therapy and to determine its association with other clinicopathological parameters. Materials and Methods : Between 2011-2016, 89 patients were included in this study. The patients were categorized according to molecular subtypes. All patients’ parafin sections were retrospectively evaluated and according to TILs value patients were distributed into two groups in each subtypes. Results : HER2 positive patients had higher TILs value than others. No relationship was seen between TILs levels and presence of either locoregional recurrence or systemic metastasis. Both in survival outcomes and prediction of neoadjuvant therapy response no association was detected according to TILs value within all subtypes. Conclusion : The relevance of TILs in small patient population is challenge. Further research is warrented.
Effect of Season and Plant Growth Regulators on Crop Growth and Yield in Dolichos Bean [Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet]

The field experiments were carried out during 2016-17 at Department of Seed Science and Technology, UAS Dharwad. There are 18 treatment combinations involving two seasons viz., kharif season 2016 and rabi season 2016-17 and plant growth regulators as other factor viz., G1: Control, G2 : GA3 @ 50 ppm, G3 : NAA @ 40 ppm, G4 : Cycocel @ 100 ppm, G5 : Mepiquat chloride @ 50 ppm, G6 : Nitrobenzene @ 200 ppm, G7: TIBA @ 50 ppm, G8 : Brassinosteroids @ 200 ppm, G9 : GA3 @ 5 ppm + IAA @ 5 ppm. The results shows that more number of branches (9.83) per plant at harvest , higher relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value) (49.76), days to flower initiation (41.59) and also for less days to 50 % flowering (45.97) days and early (51.91) days to pod initiation and (90.50) days to pod maturity compared to kharif season (S1) except plant height. Among the plant growth regulator foliar spray, higher plant height and number of branches (114.80 cm and 10.87, respectively) at harvest, higher relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value) (51.08) ,early flower initiation , pod maturity was recorded in NAA @ 40 ppm and least was seen in control plots (G1) followed by in nitrobenzene @ 200 ppm. The interaction effect was found to be non significant However, foliar spraying of NAA @ 40 ppm recorded higher growth and yield attributing parameters as compared to control.
A comprehensive study on the continuous flow synthesis of supported iron oxide nanoparticles on porous silicates and their catalytic applications

The present work demonstrates an efficient continuous flow methodology for the preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles supported on porous silicates. The effect of the iron precursor solution feed rate, the synthesis temperature and time and the support type on the catalyst characteristics were studied, as well on the catalytic activity in the microwave-assisted oxidation of benzyl alcohol with hydrogen peroxide and in the alkylation of toluene with benzyl chloride and with benzyl alcohol. The method appeared to deposit more α-Fe2O3 (hematite) on the support surface compared to similar catalyst materials synthesized using other methods. The catalyst deactivation observed in consecutive reaction cycles was mostly due to the blocking of active sites rather than metal leaching from the catalyst framework.
Long‐Life‐Cycle and Damage‐Recovery Artificial Muscles via Controllable and Observable Self‐Clearing Process

Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) exhibit a collection of excellent performances to be the next‐generation artificial muscles, yet they suffer from short lifespan and premature breakdown. Self‐clearing of defects from thin, compliant electrodes can potentially solve these problems, yet this process is currently neither observable nor controllable. Herein, a dimensionless indicator named capacitor retention is proposed to indicate the remaining capacity to generate force/displacement of a DEA during self‐clearing. This indicator can be conveniently monitored during the short‐term and long‐term degradation of the actuators with different configurations and different driving modes. Based on this indicator, DEAs’ dielectric strength is redefined. With the assistance of scalable manufacturing of multilayered DEAs, several key factors that affect the conditions under which the self‐clearing phenomena occur, as well as how they affect the dielectric strength of the actuators, are investigated. Finally, through self‐clearing preprocess, using appropriate combinations of factors derived from the earlier investigations, high‐performance DEAs with unidirectional strain of 9.4%, power density of 301 W kg−1, >1 million life cycles at a resonant frequency of 125 Hz, and the ability to recover from multiple times of external damages are achieved. This work can potentially produce long‐life and highly robust artificial muscles for DEAs’ future applications.
