Perfectionism, burnout, and engagement in dance: The moderating role of autonomy support.

Previous findings highlight the relationships between 2 × 2 perfectionism and burnout in dancers, but researchers are yet to examine the relationships between 2 × 2 perfectionism and, the opposing outcome of, engagement in dance. Similarly, we know little about the factors that may moderate these relationships. We therefore sought to extend previous research by examining the relationships between 2 × 2 perfectionism and both burnout and engagement in dancers, and by assessing whether autonomy support moderated the relationships between subtypes of perfectionism and the two opposing outcomes. Adolescent dancers ( N = 244, female n = 198, M age = 15.00 years, SD = 2.90 years) completed measures capturing four subtypes of perfectionism (pure personal standards perfectionism, pure evaluative concerns perfectionism, mixed perfectionism, and nonperfectionism), burnout dimensions (reduced sense of accomplishment, emotional/physical exhaustion, devaluation), engagement dimensions (confidence, dedication, vigour, enthusiasm), and autonomy support provided by their dance teacher. Moderated regression analyses supported all four hypotheses of the 2 × 2 perfectionism model for burnout (all dimensions) and dedication, vigour, and enthusiasm, and supported three hypotheses for confidence (Hypotheses 1a, 2 and 3). In addition, autonomy support moderated the relationships between subtypes of perfectionism and burnout (reduced accomplishment and devaluation) and engagement (all dimensions). The findings suggest that providing autonomy support offers a potential strategy to prevent burnout and promote engagement in perfectionistic dancers.

Multivariate Cherry Quality Assessment Using Morphological, Biochemical and Volatile Compound Traits

ABSTRACT This study was carried out to evaluate fruit quality of five sweet cherry cultivars grown in Morocco, namely, Burlat, Van, Cerisette, Napoleon and Coeur de pigeon. Significant differences (p˂0.05) were observed across the five cultivars in fruit weight (5.24–8.72 g), geometric mean diameter (14.22–16.36 mm), pH (3.48–4.12), soluble solid content (17.70–24.50 °Brix), total phenolics (426.44–485.69 mg GAE/100 g fresh weight (fw)), total proanthocyanidins (51.17–131.20 mg CE/100 g fw) and total anthocyanins (194.53–267.67 mg cya-3-glu/100 g fw). The antioxidant activity was evaluated by three assays. The values were 11.96–21.04, 16.48–63.96 and 9.62–15.65 mmol TE/g for DPPH scavenging test, FRAP and ABTS, respectively. Volatile compounds were identified and semi-quantified in sweet cherry fruit using solid-phase microextraction in combination with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPME-GC/MS). Nine volatile compounds (benzaldehyde, nonanal, ethyl hexanoate, ethyl octanoate, γ-terpinene, β-pinene, limonene, linalool and 2-ethyl-1-hexanol) were detected in all sweet cherry cultivars. Aldehydes compounds were the most abundant in sweet cherry aroma, followed by terpenes and esters. Correlation between all parameters showed varying trends.
Testing the resource economic monopolization hypothesis and its consequences for the mating system of Alpheus estuariensis (Decapoda, Caridea, Alpheidae)

The aim of the present study is to test the resource economic monopolization hypothesis and the hypothesis of monogamy using the shrimp Alpheus estuariensis as a model. The shrimps were collected in two areas in the Vaza-Barriz estuary, north-east Brazil, from August to November 2016. The average abundance of refuges was obtained through 30 random replicates. The shrimp presented a random distribution in both areas. Males and females found together showed a weak relation between their sizes, with males being larger than females. In addition, the cheliped of males grows proportionally more than that of females. The great abundance of refuges present in the environment, added to the aforementioned results, do not support the idea of refuge-guarding behaviour or monogamy. These results, which are in disagreement with those already found for some shrimps of the same family, genus, and even species, reinforce the idea that Alpheidae can be used as a model in the study of how environmental conditions are capable of shaping the social behaviour of a species.
Revisiting Export-Output Growth Nexus: Findings from Granger Causality and Leveraged Bootstrap Approach for Japan

The study investigates the causal nexus between export and output growth of Japan to identify the validity of the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis in a modified theoretical setting. The study is unique in the sense that it takes the Japanese crisis of 1992 into account and also addresses the possible income identification problem that most of the earlier studies largely ignored. The direction and extent to which the explanatory variables, namely, exports, imports, capital expenditure, total labor productivity and a dummy representing the crisis affect the industrial output are investigated employing both Granger causality and Leveraged Bootstrap Simulation Techniques. Both of the approaches suggest that the relationship between exports and output growth is not unidirectional which implies that export promotion cannot be regarded as a tool to promote economic growth for Japan that has important implications for policymakers to set suitable strategies to boost its economic growth.
Writing the Literature Review: Graduate Student Experiences

Difficulties with academic writing tasks, such as the literature review, impact students’ timely completion of graduate degrees. A better understanding of graduate students’ perceptions of writing the literature review could enable supervisors, administrators, service providers, and graduate students themselves to overcome these difficulties. This paper presents a case study of graduate students at a secondary campus of a Canadian research university. It describes survey data and results from focus groups conducted between 2014 and 2015 by communications faculty, writing centre staff, and librarians. The focus group participants were Master’s and Doctoral students, including students situated within one discipline and those in interdisciplinary programs. The questions focused on the students’ experiences of writing the literature review as well as the supports both accessed and desired. Data analysis revealed four themes: (a) literature review as a new and fundamental genre; (b) literature review for multiple purposes, in multiple forms, and during multiple stages of a graduate program; (c) difficulties with managing large amounts of information; and (d) various approaches and tools are used for research and writing. Using an academic literacies approach, the paper addresses implications for campus program development and writing centre interventions and furthers research into graduate students’ experiences of writing literature reviews.
Identification and Mapping of Dengue Epidemics using GISBased Multi-Criteria Decision Making.The Case of Delhi, India

The identification and mapping ofdengue epidemics is one of the critical issues in providing better health services and policy development. In this process, multiple physiographic and socio-economic criteria have been taken into consideration. The proposed approach of this paper is to provide a framework for integrating the strengths of Geographic Information System (GIS) based Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to reach the most appropriate spatial solutions for the decision-makers. In this paper, the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi was considered for mapping the potential sites for the development of dengue epidemics. For this purpose, various thematic layers were prepared using QGIS software. Five parameters (spatial analysis of Dengue Cases, land surface temperature, landfill sites, water logging, land use/land cover) were examined for mapping dengue epidemics vulnerable zones. The final dengue epidemics vulnerability assessment map reveals that the study area was divided into three different vulnerability regions namely high vulnerable regions - 326.24 sq.km (20.55%), moderate vulnerable regions - 674.25 sq.km (42.48%) and low vulnerable regions - 586.56 sq.km (36.95%). In this paper, the integrated approach of GIS based MCDM is showcased as a major contribution towards the development of effective health care management system (HCMS). This study also provides a new approach for decision-makers in order to decrease the spatial extent of this chronic disease and also reduce the human health hazard.
Pelagic Fish Eggs Diversity in the Nearshore Waters of Gulf of Mannar, South East Coast of India

Background: A study of the diversity, distribution and development of fish eggs and larvae as an integral part of a fishery research programme serves as a valuable aid in the proper management of fisheries. The study is also an essential prerequisite in understanding the spawning biomass of forecasting and trends of production. Information available on diversity of fish eggs from Indian waters is inadequate. The present study was conducted to understand the diversity and distribution of pelagic fish eggs in the nearshore waters of Gulf of Mannar. Methods: The present study conducted at three stations-Mandapam, Thoothukudi and Punnakayal in the waters of Gulf of Mannar, during 2017-2019. A total of 684 ichthyoplankton samples were collected. In the laboratory, the samples were sorted and identified. The diversity was calculated by Shannon-Weiner, Margalef richness index and Pielou’s evenness indices. All the diversity indices were done by using the PRIMER-E software. Result: Our investigation was taken up with objective to assess the status of pelagic fish eggs diversity in the nearshore waters of Gulf of Mannar and found to be more productive. From the diversity study, it is evident that the Punnakayal waters are habitat for a rich diversity of fish species and also a spawning and nursery ground for fishes. Fish eggs diversity is significant for management of fishery resources.
Patterns of diatom diversity correlate with dissolved trace metal concentrations and longitudinal position in the northeast Pacific coastal-offshore transition zone

Diatoms are important primary producers in the northeast Pacific Ocean, with their productivity closely linked to pulses of trace elements in the western high nitrate, low chlorophyll (HNLC) region of the oceanographic time series transect ‘Line P.’ Recently, the coastal−HNLC transition zone of the Line P transect was identified as a hotspot of phytoplankton productivity, potentially controlled by a combination of trace element and macronutrient concentrations. Here we describe diatom community composition in the eastern Line P transect, including the coastal− HNLC transition zone, with a method using high-throughput sequencing of diatom 18S gene amplicons. We identified significant correlations between shifting diatom community composition and longitude combined with concentrations of dissolved copper and 2 other dissolved trace metals (dissolved Fe [dFe] and/or dissolved zinc) and/or a physical factor (salinity or density). None of these variables on its own was significantly correlated with shifts in community composition, and 3 of the factors (dFe, salinity, and density) correlated with one another. Longitude could incorporate multiple factors that may influence diatom communities, including distance from shore, proximity of sampling stations, and an integration of previous pulses of macroand micro-nutrients. We also evaluated in situ Fe limitation of the diatom Thalassiosira oceanica using a quantitative reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction method, and found biological evidence of Fe stress in samples from the coastal−HNLC transition zone. Combined, our results support a prior hypothesis that dissolved trace metals as well as longitudinal distance may be important to diatom diversity in the coastal−HNLC transition zone of the Line P transect.

This paper understands the role of behavioural economics in regard to financial well-being.Research limitations/implicationsEmpirical investigation in measuring the linkage between financial literacy and financial capability needs to be developed to achieve the goal of financial well-being.Originality/valueThis paper makes a noble contribution to the literature by proposing a new conceptualization of financial well-being spread over financial literacy, financial capability and psychological factors.
Effect of trypanosomiasis on hematologic characteristics of bream (Abramis brama)

Trypanosomes are flagellated protozoa; they parasitize in the blood of a wide range of vertebrates and invertebrates, including fish, for which leeches are carriers. The metabolites released by trypanosomes are toxic to the host, cause disruption of homeostasis, which leads to illness and even death. Parasites in fish living in hot climates are the most common and better studied. Trypanosomes were first detected in common bream (Abramis brama L.) from the Uglich Reservoir (Upper Volga) in August 2015. The aim of this work is to study the effect of these parasites on the hematological parameters of the fish. As a control, blood indices of uninfected fish were used. The condition factor of infected fish did not differ from that of healthy fish. There were no significant differences between the two groups of fish in contents of total serum protein and glycemia. This may indicate a low level of bream parasitemia. At the same time, a significant increase in the leukocyte abundance index was detected, which indirectly indicates an increase in the number of these cells in the infected fish compared with the control ones, statistically significant differences were found in the leukogram: the proportion of eosinophils in the diseased fish increased almost 6 times while the relative number of lymphocytes decreased. The pattern of red blood also changed: the proportion of immature erythrocytes increased in the infected fish; a small number of microcytes and amitoses of erythrocytes and differences in the cytometric characteristics of red blood cells were found. The level of hemoglobin significantly decreased. A sharp increase in the content of circulating immune complexes indicates a shift in antigenic homeostasis caused by the presence of parasites. A similarity in the reaction of a number of indicators of the blood system of bream with trypanosomiasis to that of animals of higher systematic groups was revealed. The interpretation of the results obtained during the study of the effect of parasites on the host organism requires consideration of its physiological status and habitat conditions, the stage of the disease and the mechanism of adaptation of the parasite to the host defense system.
Developing an integrated biology module for students' environmental attitude instruments

The development of modules based on environmental attitudes has been initiated but has not yet been integrated with instruments. This research aims to develop learning biology material and test the instruments' reliability in improving students' environmental attitudes. This development research uses the 4D model by Thiagarajan (1974). Field testing was conducted involving 150 students of Senior High School 1 of Caringin – West Java, Indonesia. The data collection instruments using an expert validation sheet and students’ environmental attitudes sheet. Experts validation involved material, instructional design, and character education expert. Indicators for measuring environmental attitudes use the Environmental Attitude Scale (EAS), which consists of four subscales that refer to Ugulu (2013). According to EAS, the students' environmental attitudes are shown on the Eigen values of the four factors measured. The data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that the suitability aspects of material design and character education followed the average values of 90, 78, and 88 respectively. Meanwhile, Eigen values for environmental awareness factors (5,718); attitudes towards recovery (4,683); attitudes towards recycling (3,512); environmental consciousness and behavior (2,285). While Cronbach Alpha coefficients 0.81. Thus, the instruments integrated into module development carried out in this study are very capable of measuring student environmental attitudes. This study recommends the use of modules in developing students' environmental attitudes.
Alteration in miRNAs expression in paediatric acute lymphocyticleukaemia: Insight into patients' therapeutic response

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) revealed themselves as potential tumour markers and play a significant role in the pathogenesis and progression of acute lymphocytic leukaemia (ALL). This work is designed to investigate the expression of miR‐21, miR‐26, miR‐148a, miR‐133b and miR‐24 in paediatric ALL patients in response to treatment. The expression of miRNAs was determined by quantitative reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (qRT–‐PCR) in 43 paediatric ALL patients (33 treatment responders and 10 non‐responders) compared to 42 healthy controls. miR‐21, miR‐148a, and miR‐24 were found to be significantly (P < .05, P < .01, P < .05; respectively) up‐regulated in ALL patients compared to controls. No statistically significant differences in expression levels of miR‐26a and miR133b were detected in both groups. Concerning treatment, responders are found to have a decreased level of miR‐24 compared to non‐responder patients. A significant increase (P < .01) in miR‐24 expression level in relapsed patients compared to non‐relapsed ones was found. Positive correlations were detected between miR‐148a and miR‐24 (r = .347; P < .05) and between miR‐26a and miR‐24 (r = .353; P < .05) in ALL group. The highest sensitivity (72%) and specificity (81%) among miRNAs were detected in miR‐24 at a cut‐off value of 2.928. Taken together, the up‐regulation of tumour suppressor miRNA(miR‐148a) concur with the up‐regulation of oncomiR (miR‐21) might provide a new era that could help in disease management strategy. The reduction of oncomiR‐24 is one of the promising effects of treatment. A larger prospective study is highly recommended to confirm our findings.
A comprehensive analysis of prefrontal structural and functional changes following prolonged stress and glucocorticoid exposure in the rat

Cognitive decline in aging is marked by considerable variability, with some individuals experiencing significant impairments and others retaining intact functioning. Whereas previous studies have linked elevated hypothalamo-pituitaryadrenal (HPA) axis activity with impaired hippocampal function during aging, the idea has languished regarding whether such differences may underlie the deterioration of other cognitive functions. Here we investigate whether endogenous differences in HPA activity are predictive of age-related impairments in prefrontal structural and behavioral plasticity. Young and aged rats (4 and 21 months, respectively) were partitioned into low or high HPA activity, based upon averaged values of corticosterone release from each animal obtained from repeated sampling across a 24h period. Pyramidal neurons in the prelimbic area of medial prefrontal cortex were selected for intracellular dye filling, followed by 3D imaging and analysis of dendritic spine morphometry. Aged animals displayed dendritic spine loss and altered geometric characteristics; however, these decrements were largely accounted for by the subgroup bearing elevated corticosterone. Moreover, high adrenocortical activity in aging was associated with downward shifts in frequency distributions for spine head diameter and length, whereas aged animals with low corticosterone showed an upward shift in these indices.

Impact of continuous glucose monitoring with diabetic education on glycemic variability and HbA1c

Background: Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an invasive technique which can be used in both outpatient and inpatient settings and can be used for assessing the glycemic variability among individuals with diabetes. It is an effective tool in diabetic management for evaluating the hypoglycemic, hyperglycemic and euglycemic events.Methods: The study was both retrospective and prospective which was conducted at Believers Church Medical College Hospital, Thiruvalla after getting approval from the institutional ethical committee and patient consent was also taken. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes and those with suspicion of hypoglycaemia were taken from the patients attending the diabetic clinic from 26 July 2017. The study duration was from 26 July 2017 to 19 October 2019 (2 years). Results: The study revealed the importance of CGM in the therapeutic management of diabetic patients by monitoring the individual patients and leading to an individualization of therapeutic regimen. It also helped to analyse the effect of each antidiabetic agent in the individual patients and thereby preventing the further occurrence of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic stages in the individuals and will help to maintain a euglycemic stage in each individual and thus improving the patient’s quality of life.Conclusions: Hence it is concluded from this study that CGM has an important role in the better therapeutic management in diabetic patients as it helps in individualisation of therapy based on each patient in a better glycaemic control leading to a euglycemic state resulting in statistically significant HbA1c reduction.
