Changes in adolescent loneliness and concomitant changes in fear of negative evaluation and self-esteem

Current theories of loneliness posit that biases in social information processing play a key role in the development and maintenance of loneliness. However, this assumption has rarely been tested in longitudinal research in adolescence. The current study concentrated on two constructs associated with such biases, that is, fear of negative evaluation and self-esteem. More specifically, we examined whether changes in loneliness were associated with simultaneous changes in fear of negative evaluation and self-esteem. A sample of Dutch adolescents (N = 1,174; 50% female) in Grades 7 to 10 completed well-established measures of loneliness, fear of negative evaluation, and self-esteem on four measurement occasions with yearly intervals. Correlations among both initial levels and rates of change for these three variables were examined using a Parallel Process Model (PPM). Adolescents scoring high on loneliness scored high on fear of negative evaluation, but low on self-esteem. Changes in loneliness were accompanied by changes in the same direction for fear of negative evaluation and in the opposite direction for self-esteem. These findings indicate that fear of negative evaluation and low self-esteem could indeed play a role in the development and maintenance of loneliness. Future research will need to clarify how exactly these variables can hamper re-affiliation efforts and lead to sustained loneliness over time.

Contributions of the Nucleus Tractus Solitarius to ventilatory acclimatization to chronic hypoxia

Following hours to days in hypoxia, a time dependent increase in ventilation occurs, termed ventilatory acclimatization to hypoxia (VAH). Hallmarks of VAH include an increased slope of the isocapnic hypoxic ventilatory response (HVR) and hyperventilation that persists upon return to normoxia (Powell et al., 1998). VAH involves changes in the sensitivity of the carotid body to hypoxia (Nielsen et al., 1988) and the central nervous system to carotid body afferent input (Dwinell & Powell, 1999). My dissertation tests the hypothesis that plasticity occurs in the Nucleus Tractus Solitarius (NTS), which receives the first synapse from the carotid body afferents (Housley et al., 1987) and also contains CO₂-sensitive cells (Dean et al., 1989). To determine if plasticity in the NTS contributes to VAH, we used two approaches: stimulating CO₂-sensitive cells in the NTS and lesioning a specific type of neuron in the NTS and measuring ventilatory responses to CO₂ and O₂ before and after acclimatization to chronic hypoxia. Stimulation of the NTS central chemoreceptor cells by focal acidosis increased phrenic nerve activity in anesthetized rats, as reported by other investigators (Coates et al., 1993). The response in chronically hypoxic animals was significantly less than in the normoxic controls in contrast to the increase we predicted to explain the persistent hyperventilation in normoxia with VAH. However, this decreased responsiveness of NTS CO₂-sensitive cells in chronic hypoxia is consistent with cellular data suggesting an increase in the number of cells inhibited by hypercapnia after chronic hypoxia (Nichols et al., 2009). Our lesion studies targeted neurokinin 1 receptor positive cells (NK1R) in the NTS because similar lesions in other central chemosensitive sites have been shown to reduce the hypercapnic ventilatory response (Nattie & Li, 2002b; Nattie et al., 2004). We measured the ventilatory responses to hypercapnia and hypoxia in normoxic and chronically hypoxic rats following the lesion of NK1R cells in the NTS. No effects of the lesion were seen in normoxic rats. However, ventilation in room air and hypoxia was significantly greater in lesioned animals after chronic hypoxia. This suggests that NK1R cells in the NTS attenuate the arterial chemoreflex after chronic hypoxia. There was also a non-significant trend for ventilation to increase during hypercapnia in lesioned animals after chronic hypoxia. These studies have established plasticity in the NTS during chronic hypoxia but the exact mechanisms and their contribution to VAH remain to be determined.
AN EXAMINATION OF SYRIAN STUDENTS’ EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCES AT SCHOOL FROM THE REFLECTIONS OF TEACHERS

Education is the most effective tool for enabling immigrants’ integration into the country they live in. The aim of this research is to determine teachers’ views related to the education of Syrian students attending state schools. By presenting them through the experiences of their teachers, this paper deals with how the educational experiences at school of Syrian children of school age are shaped in state schools. The research is planned with a qualitative approach as a case study design. The participants of the research were 34 teachers working in state schools and having Syrian students in their classes. The research data were collected via focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews in Rize, Turkey between the years 2017-2019. The data in the focus group and semi-structured interviews were supported by means of observations. The research findings reveal that the biggest problem in teachers’ opinions was the language problem and the communication and academic barriers resulting from this, that Syrian students suffered from depression and trauma because of war and migration, that they had a feeling of loneliness, and that nevertheless, they were happy at school. Therefore, this research reveals that teachers working with Syrian students are in need of vocational training and development consolidation in order to provide academic and psychological support for these students. Successfully addressing the educational needs of Syrian students in school will be especially beneficial for enabling Syrian children’s integration into society. Keywords: education experience, qualitative research, Syrian students, teacher reflection, Turkey

A survival predicting model for patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma

© Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved. We commend the work of Yan et al . (1) for their retrospective study developing nomograms to predict the survival outcomes of patients with papillary renal cell carcinoma (pRCC), which may aid in clinical decisionmaking. As such, there are a few points that we would like to bring up. The study included patients whose pRCC was the first tumor but did not exclude multiple primary cancers. However, another SEER-based study showed renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients were at a significantly higher risk of developing a second malignancy, which may affect patients’ survival (2). RCC surgery in the SEER database includes cryosurgery, partial nephrectomy, and radical nephrectomy, etc. Previous studies have also proved that the prognosis of RCC patients with early T stage receiving different types of surgical treatment is different (3,4). It would be more meaningful to stratify patients according to the type of surgery that they received; in this way, readers can easily see which surgical treatment improves pRCC patient's survival better. Because there is lack of granularity in SEER about type of chemotherapy and only a small number of patients had received chemotherapy (3.25%), the authors’ finding that chemotherapy was a negative prognostic factor should be treated with reservation. Previous case reports showed pRCC patients with long-term cancer control by chemotherapy (5,6). The number of patients younger than 40 years old and older than or equal to 80 years old in their study is too small. Continuous variables, such as age, can be divided based on the optimal cut-off value generated by X-tile software, making grouping more reasonable. SEER database provides information of four metastatic sites (lung, liver, bone and brain), which could be considered for inclusion in their study. This is because considering whether patients had the above four sites of metastases rather than whether they were in M1 stage will improve predictive accuracy of their model to some extent.
Association between serum ca-125 levels and severity of pre-eclampsia: a case-control study conducted in a tertiary care centre, West Bengal

Background: Screening test for pre-eclampsia has been a topic of extensive research in last few decades, and to identify a cost effective and accurate one is of immense importance. This study was conducted to determine an association between serum CA-125 levels and severity of pre-eclampsia, and thus to specify clinical utility of this biochemical marker in prediction, diagnosis and follow-up of pre-eclampsia.Methods: A case-control study involving 40 women with non-severe pre-eclampsia, 40 women with severe pre-eclampsia and 40 healthy pregnant women matched for age, parity and gestational age at enrolment were taken in a tertiary care centre in West Bengal.Results: The CA-125 levels in three categories of participants were: normotensive (15.76±2.95), non-severe pre-eclampsia (26.98±2.28), severe pre-eclampsia (44.99±11.23), p<0.001. CA-125 levels correlated positively with systolic blood pressure (r=0.78, p<0.001), diastolic blood pressure (r=0.79, p<0.001), negatively with platelet levels (r=-0.67, p<0.001) and with birth weight of baby (r=-0.54, p<0.001). When cut-off for serum CA-125 levels was accepted as 35 IU/ml, the sensitivity and specificity of the marker was found to be 92.1% and 97.1% respectively. Positive predictive value 95.5%, Negative predictive value 94.4%. Conclusions: We can infer from this study that maternal serum CA-125 levels are associated with pre-eclampsia and its severity. As it is much more available and less expensive, it seems to be a promising as a screening test.
Assessment of Pea Weevil Bruchus pisorum (Coleoptera: Bruchidae) Genetic Diversity Based on Mitochondrial COI Gene Sequences

Bruchus pisorum L. , commonly known as the pea weevil, is a cosmopolitan insect pest of pea. Currently, its genetic diversity and population structure are still not well understood. Therefore, an examination of the pea weevil population diversity and evolutionary history will provide insight into efficient pest management strategies. In this study, we sequenced and analysed a 393 bp fragment of the mitochondrial Cytochrome C Oxidase subunit I (COI) gene from 29 samples of B. pisorum collected from the major pea-growing regions in northern Tunisia. Analysis of these sequences in addition to 18 supplementary sequences derived from six countries; Australia, China, Ethiopia, Germany, Italy and U.S.A. ; led to the identification of 15 haplotypes among which nine were found in Tunisian samples, and among these, six were specific to Tunisia. The FST values reflected a weak population genetic diversity of B. pisorum in Tunisia. The haplotype network and phylogenetic analysis, including all sequences, supported the low genetic structuring of Tunisian B. pisorum and further revealed the presence of widely shared haplotypes. The presence of common haplotypes in geographically distant areas is mainly related to human intervention that facilitated the worldwide expansion of this pest, through the transportation of infested seeds, suggesting that local B. pisorum populations have different origins and may have resulted from multiple introductions.
Transportation mode choice of workers in Cikupa Village, Cikupa Sub-district, Tangerang Regency, Banten Province

In carrying out a travel plan, people will have to consider a lot of things such as distance and their financial abilities as well as various other considerations so that they are able to pick the most suitable transportation mode to reach their destination. This includes making a trip to one’s workplace. This research was conducted in Cikupa Sub-district, which is a sub-district with the highest number of workers in Tangerang Regency, as well as an industrial central area surrounded by regular and irregular settlements with differences in settlement quality, derived from settlement patterns, accessibility, and existing facilities, resulting in differences in the choice of transportation modes for work. This study aimed to analyze the transportation mode choice by workers in Cikupa Village and the variables that influence it. The variables studied were the travel-based characteristics including travel costs, travel time, and distance traveled. Variables were processed and analyzed with spatial analysis methods supported by statistical methods of chi-square and contingency coefficient. The results showed that the majority of workers in Cikupa Sub-district use private vehicles, mainly motorcycle. The results of the statistical test indicated that the only variables that greatly influenced the choice of transportation modes are travel costs and travel time.

Changes at the edge: trends in sea ice, ocean temperature and ocean color at the Northwest Atlantic/Southern Arctic interface

Abstract Spatial and temporal trends of remotely sensed sea-ice cover, sea surface temperatures, chlorophyll-a concentration and primary production in the Baffin Bay, Davis Strait and Labrador Sea were analyzed for the 1998–2017 period. We found spatial variability in the trends of these cryospheric, biologic and oceanographic phenomena. For example, in the northern Baffin Bay, we observed decreases in annual sea-ice persistence, yet increases along the Labrador Sea-ice edge during winter, with the latter having significant correlations with broader atmospheric patterns. In general, we observed increases in summer sea surface temperatures across the study region, except a small area of cooling along the southern Greenlandic coast. We also found significant negative trends in April chlorophyll-a and primary production followed by significant positive trends for both biological phenomena in May, owing to anomalously high values in 2014 and 2015. Notably, we found a significant positive correlation between days of monthly sea ice presence in April with May primary production quantities. Finally, we found a significant positive trend in total annual primary production over the study period. This novel finding suggests an important relationship between the timing of breakup along the sea-ice edge and peaks in biological production.
A New Specimen of the Ornithischian Dinosaur Hesperosaurus mjosi from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Montana, U.S.A., and Implications for Growth and Size in Morrison Stegosaurs

ABSTRACT Stegosauria is a clade of ornithischian dinosaurs characterized by a bizarre array of dermal armor that extends from the neck to the end of the tail. Two genera of stegosaur are currently recognised from North America: the well-known Stegosaurus stenops and the much rarer Hesperosaurus mjosi. A new specimen of Hesperosaurus mjosi was discovered in some of the most northerly outcrops of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation near Livingston, Montana. The new specimen includes cranial, vertebral, and appendicular material as well as a dermal plate, and the excellent state of preservation of the palate reveals new anatomical information about this region in stegosaurs. Histological examination of the tibia indicates that the individual was not skeletally mature at time of death. Comparison with previously studied Stegosaurus and Hesperosaurus individuals indicates that Hesperosaurus mjosi may have been a smaller species than Stegosaurus stenops. Physiological processes scale with body mass, M, according to the relationshipM0.75 in extant megaherbivores; thus, larger animals are better able to cope with more arid environments where forage is less abundant. Under this scenario, it is possible that Stegosaurus stenops and Hesperosaurus mjosi were environmentally partitioned, with the larger S. stenops occupying more arid environments. Analyses of the temporal overlap and latitudinal range of Morrison stegosaurs would allow this hypothesis to be investigated.
A Classical Swine Fever Outbreak - A Recent Postulation Of Laboratory Pathogenicity

Classical Swine Fever Virus (CSFV), a Pestivirus causes the most economically important disease of pigs resulting in high mortality. Due to lack of systematic vaccination programmes, outbreaks of Classical Swine Fever (CSF) occur frequently in susceptible populations. Studying the pathogenicity of  eld isolates will throw more light on the virulence of the causative agent which could be useful in planning the control strategy. Pathogenicity of a local,  eld isolate of CSFV was studied and the results postulated that, the isolate induced classical signs and lesions in the natural host, namely pig. The identity of the causative agent has also been con rmed by Polymerase chain reaction targeting E2 and 5’UTR, conserved regions of CSFV
Salinity and phosphorus availability differentially affect plant growth, leaf morphology, water relations, solutes accumulation and antioxidant capacity in Aeluropus littoralis

Abstract In this study, we examined the combined effect of moderate salinity (100 mM NaCl) and three phosphorus (P) levels: low, moderate and high (5 µM, 60 µM and 180 µM KH2PO4, respectively) on several physiological parameters in the facultative halophyte Aeluropus littoralis. Our results showed that plants cultivated under low P availability exhibited higher leaf hair and trichome densities, root length, and shoot soluble sugars concentrations. The response of plants to combined salinity and P deficiency was similar to that of plants cultivated under P deficiency only. Furthermore, in the absence of salt, A. littoralis plants reached maximum biomass at 180 µMP. However, in the presence of 100 mM NaCl, plants exhibited maximum growth from 60 µMP which suggests that salt supply decreased P requirements of A. littoralis plants. Moreover, salinity has no significant effect on biomass production, shoot water content and shoot potassium (K+) content when combined with 5 µMP and it significantly decreased gradually these parameters when combined with 60 µMP and 180 µMP. This was associated with higher values of P and K use efficiencies, leaf hair and trichome densities, total polyphenol content, and total antioxidant capacity in plants cultivated under combined effects of salinity and P deficiency.
Factors Affecting the Cloud ERP: A Case Study of Learning Resources Department at Jordanian Education Ministry

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems have been used by organizations for a years, whereas, Cloud ERP systems gained audience few years ago both from practitioners and academicians. As such there is a migration from the traditional ERP to Cloud ERP system, and employees in most organizations are accustomed to the traditional ERP system. In order to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Cloud ERP system use in the operation stage. Organizations need to research the factors that have impact on users’ satisfaction and managerial decision making. There is a great deal of prior studies that measured users' adoption of ERP systems using a technological acceptance model (TAM). Thus, this study also utilized TAM model in examining the factors that influence users’ adoption of Cloud ERP systems. To get maximum value of the validity and reliability of the findings, the study was conducted in two folds which are preimplementation and post-implementation. In addition to, a structural equation modeling was employed to reach the findings. Finally, the study identified technology factor, employee factor, perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use as important variables for affecting Cloud ERP adoption; and as important antecedents influencing managerial decision making. This study comes to be the first study to employ TAM model in Corresponding author: Education Ministry of Jordan.
