Brain Mechanisms of College Students’ Social Adjustment: Evidence from Multimodal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

This study investigated the neural basis of social adjustment using multimodal brain imaging and social-adjustment measurements to analyze functional and structural brain features during social adjustment in college students. The results showed that, regarding brain function, some dimensions of social adjustment were associated with the insula, and some regions of the frontal and occipital lobes. Self-adjustment and satisfaction required activation of the middle frontal gyrus, while career adjustment and academic adjustment required inhibition of the inferior frontal gyrus and lingual gyrus, respectively. Decreased metabolic activity of the lingual gyrus was beneficial for obtaining satisfaction. Regarding brain structure, the total score and some dimensions of social adaptation were associated with the gray matter of portions of the temporal and parietal lobes. The superior temporal gyrus was associated with the total social adjustment and satisfaction score, the middle temporal gyrus with campus-life adjustment and satisfaction, and the post central gyrus and the inferior parietal lobule with emotional adjustment. The changes in the gray matter volume of these brain regions to a certain extent reflected socially adaptive behaviors. The results suggest that social adaptability is associated with various brain regions dispersed among both hemispheres of the brain, and requires synergistic inter-actions between multiple brain regions and both brain hemispheres.
How Individual’s Proactive Behavior Helps Construction Sustainability: Exploring the Effects of Project Citizenship Behavior on Project Performance

Sustainable development has been commonly identified as a vital target in the construction industry. Studies have examined different management strategies and procedures to promote resource utilization efficiency, while the human factors in sustainable construction have received far less attention. This paper investigates the influence of Project Citizenship Behavior (PCB) on project performance in the sustainable construction context. After introducing the concept of “relationship sustainability,” a moderating model is established. Data are collected from 152 experienced construction project managers in China. The results show positive relationships between most dimensions of Project Citizenship Behavior and construction sustainability performance, in spite of the negative effect of taking charge on relationship sustainability. Moreover, the degree of complexity of projects acts as a moderator in the relationship between Project Citizenship Behavior and construction sustainability performance. This paper endeavors to enrich the knowledge of sustainable construction by regarding human behavioral factors as important resources and explaining their effect on project sustainability, thus shedding light on the theory of sustainable construction by extending it to the micro-level analysis, as well as offering guidelines about how to raise the sustainability level of construction projects.
How Accurately Could Early (622-900 C.E.) Muslims Determine the Direction of Prayers (Qibla)?

Debate has arisen over the ability of Muslim architects in the first two centuries of Islam to determine true qiblas accurately. Some believe that they had such a capability, while others think not. The argument could be more complex—perhaps some architects could, while others could not; perhaps their accuracy changed over time or over greater distances from qibla targets. Here, we investigated how the accurate qiblas of 60 mosques or related structures were, using data from Daniel Gibson’s books and websites. Contrasts were drawn between theories that the qiblas of early mosques were—or were not—generally accurate. If one were to assume that Mecca was the only qibla, qiblas would not appear to have been accurate. However, if one were to assume that qiblas changed, it would be found that qiblas were accurate to plus or minus two degrees in over half of the cases and accurate within plus or minus five degrees in over 80% of cases. Accuracy was not related to distance but did appear to improve over historical time, while distance from the target cities and historical time were positively associated. The average qibla accuracy had a near zero error, with random variations on either side of that zero error. The overall distribution was not normal—kurtotic—because a greater accuracy was found than would have been expected with a normal distribution; however, the pattern deviated more from a uniform distribution than it did from a normal distribution. To try to synthesize the competing theories, we analyzed data for only 14 of the 60 mosques, those presumed to face towards Mecca, and we found fairly high degrees of qibla accuracy with nearly 43% of qiblas within two degrees of accuracy and nearly 80% within five degrees of accuracy. Comparing the accuracy of Meccan qiblas with other qiblas of the same century, we found no significant differences in azimuth errors. While some architects were more accurate than others, early Muslim architects seemed, in general, quite capable of placing qiblas with reasonable accuracy, even though their accuracy may have improved slightly over the first two centuries of Islam.
A brief Acceptance and Commitment Therapy -based intervention among violence- prone male inmates delivered by novice therapists

espanolLas terapias cognitivo-conductuales basadas en la aceptacion y la atencion plena, como la Terapia de Aceptacion y Compromiso (ACT), se aplican en una amplia gama de poblaciones, pero su uso no es habitual en establecimientos penitenciarios. Objetivo: El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo evaluar una intervencion basada en ACT en comparacion con el tratamiento habitual (TH) entre internos de una prision. Metodo: Se compararon 10 sesiones grupales de ACT (n = 9) con TH (n = 8), administradas por los terapeutas noveles a internos varones acusados de crimenes violentos. Resultados: Despues de la intervencion, ACT fue mas eficaz que TH en mejorar los comportamientos basados en valores, medidos a traves del Valued Living Questionnaire (Cuestionario de Valores). Los niveles de depresion, ansiedad y flexibilidad psicologica no cambiaron despues de cualquiera de los tratamientos. Estos resultados se mantuvieron a los tres meses de seguimiento. Conclusiones: Una intervencion breve de ACT, aplicada por terapeutas con poca experiencia, puede ser eficaz para aumentar la consistencia entre el comportamiento y los valores personales de internos masculinos. ACT puede ser una alternativa viable y rentable en contextos penitenciarios.Palabras clave: Terapia de Acepotacion y Compromiso (ACT), internos, terapeutas noveles, intervencion breve. EnglishAcceptance and mindfulness-oriented cognitive and behavioral therapies, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) are implemented in a wide range of different populations, but are not commonly used currently in correctional facilities. Objective: This study aimed to assess an intervention based on ACT in comparison with a treatment as usual condition (TAU) among inmates. Method: We compared 10 group sessions of ACT (n=9) with TAU (n=8) among male prisoners charged with violent crimes, administered by novice ACT therapists. Results: At postintervention, ACT was more effective in enhancing values-consistent behaviors than TAU as measured by the Valued Living Questionnaire. Depression, anxiety and psychological flexibility did not change after any of the treatments. These results were maintained at three-month follow-up. Conclusions: A brief ACT intervention delivered by inexperienced ACT therapists can be effective in increasing values-behavior consistency among male inmates. ACT may be a viable and cost-effective intervention alternative in penitentiary contexts.Keywords: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT); inmates; novice therapists; short intervention.
Maternal and perinatal outcome in eclampsia complicated by posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome; a three years’ experience in a tertiary care hospital

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-neuroradiological entity, was first described in 1996 by Hinchey et al. This syndrome is characterized by headache, visual disturbances, seizures, altered mental status and radiological findings of oedema in the white matter of the brain on MRI. PRES can clinically associated with number of medical conditions such as hypertensive encephalopathy, preeclampsia, eclampsia, acute renal diseases, haemolytic uremic syndrome, use of cytotoxic and immunosuppressant drugs. Recent studies and previous case reports states that PRES was observed frequently in patients with preeclampsia and eclampsia. Although pathophysiology of PRES is poorly understood, the same pathophysiological mechanisms of eclampsia ABSTRACT
A comprehensive model to analyze straw recycling logistics costs for sustainable development: Evidence from biomass power generation

Low straw recycling logistics costs are a key factor for biomass power generation enterprises to maximize their profits and ensure sustainable operation. Different from the existing literature, this paper divides straw recycling logistics patterns into two types (farmer—plant and farmer—broker—plant) and analyzes their influencing factors to reduce straw recycling logistics costs. In this pursuit, this paper first presents a comprehensive model to analyze straw recycling logistics costs using the calculus method. Then, a 25 MW biomass power plant was selected as a case study to calculate the straw recycling logistics costs. The results show that transportation cost is the most important component of the total straw recycling logistics costs, making up 44.35%. The sensitivity analysis results indicate that the straw recycling radius is the most sensitive factor affecting the straw recycling logistics costs. There is a u‐shaped relationship between the number of brokers and straw recycling logistics costs, and the straw recycling logistics costs have the smallest value when the broker number is 10. Based on the results, this paper proposes the following suggestions. Biomass power plants should conduct reasonable planning for site selection. Brokers should be recruited reasonably, and farmers should change straw planting patterns.
Involvement of 5-HT receptor subtypes in the pudendal nerve inhibition of nociceptive and non-nociceptive bladder activity in anesthetized cats

Hypothesis / aims of study Understanding the neurotransmitter mechanisms involved in the inhibition of bladder activity induced by neuromodulation could lead to identify new pharmacological targets for overactive bladder (OAB). This study used methysergide (ME; non-selective 5HT2 receptor antagonist), ondansetron (OD; 5-HT3 receptor antagonist) or WAY100635 (WAY; 5-HT1A receptor antagonist) to examine the involvement of these receptors in the micturition reflex and pudendal nerve stimulation (PNS)-induced inhibition of bladder activity.
The Influence of Water Depth on Energy Availability for Ducks

Habitat management and planning strategies for nonbreeding ducks are focused on providing enough energy to support a desired number of individuals. Therefore, regional estimates of energy availability for nonbreeding ducks are required to determine if su ﬃ cient habitat exists for them. I used core sampling to estimate food and energy density in 6 types of water bodies (i.e., actively and passively managed emergent wetlands, playas, small and large reservoirs, and sloughs) in northeastern Colorado, USA, during 3 sampling occasions throughout 2 nonbreeding seasons, 2015 – 2016 and 2016 – 2017. Also, I used precise depth meas urements to estimate the percentage of each site that was shallow enough to facilitate feeding by dabbling ducks as a way to correct overall energy density to re ﬂ ect availability to ducks. Emergent wetlands contained the greatest food and energy density, followed by playas and sloughs, and reservoirs contained little food or energy. Fall depletion of food was greatest in actively managed emergent wetlands and spring depletion was greatest in sloughs and passively managed emergent wetlands. Mean percentage of passively managed emergent wetlands, actively managed emergent wetlands, small reservoirs, large reservoirs, and sloughs shallower than 50 cm was 37%, 77%, 10%, 4%, and 83%, respectively. Incorporating these estimates into the energetic carrying capacity model developed by the Playa Lakes Joint Venture for eastern Colorado resulted in a 54% decrease in overall duck energy day estimates, which is below what is needed to support population goals. This research identi ﬁ es the need for additional wetland restoration in eastern Colorado to meet energy requirements of nonbreeding ducks and provides information to conservation planners to make more in formed decisions about the extent and location of wetland restoration activities. © 2020 The Authors.

Benchmarking the Raw Model-Generated Background Forecast in Rapidly Updated Surface Temperature Analyses. Part II: Gridded Benchmark

This is the second part of a series on benchmarking raw 1-h high-resolution numerical weather prediction surface-temperature forecasts from NOAA’s High-Resolution Rapid Refresh (HRRR) system. Such 1-h forecasts are commonly used to underpin the background for an hourly updated surface temperature analysis. The benchmark in this article was produced through a gridded statistical interpolation procedure using only surface observations and a diurnally, seasonally dependent gridded surface temperature climatology. The temporally varying climatologies were produced by synthesizing high-resolution monthly gridded climatologies of daily maximum and minimum temperatures over the contiguous United States with yearly and diurnally dependent estimates of the station-based climatologies of surface temperature. To produce a 1-h benchmark forecast, for a given hour of the day, say 0000 UTC, the gridded climatology was interpolated to station locations and then subtracted from the observations. These station anomalies were statistically interpolated to produce the 0000 UTC gridded anomaly. This anomaly pattern was continued for 1 h and added to the 0100 UTC gridded climatology to generate the 0100 UTC gridded benchmark forecast. The benchmark is thus a simple 1-h persistence of the analyzed deviations from the diurnally dependent climatology. Using a cross-validation procedure with July 2015 and August 2018 data, the gridded benchmark provided competitive, relatively unbiased 1-h surface temperature forecasts relative to the HRRR. Benchmark forecasts were lower in error and bias in 2015, but the HRRR system was highly competitive or better than the gridded benchmark in 2018. Implications of the benchmarking results are discussed, as well as potential applications of the simple benchmarking procedure to data assimilation.

Effects of drought at different periods of wheat development on the leaf photosynthetic apparatus and productivity

The problem of drought impact on crop productivity is especially relevant for the leading cereal – wheat, since significant cultivation areas of this crop are located in risky farming zones. The aim of our studies was to compare the peculiarities of drought impact during the period of vegetative growth and reproductive development on the chlorophyll content, activity of chloroplast antioxidant enzymes, the rate of carbon dioxide gas exchange and transpiration as well as productivity of the wheat plants. The studies were carried out on bread winter wheat plants (Triticum aestivum L.) of the Astarta and Natalka varieties grown in a pot experiment. The plants were watered daily to maintain the soil moisture level in the pots in the range 70–60% of field capacity. Drought treatment involving decrease in soil moisture to 30% of the field capacity was applied to some of the plants at late stem elongation stage (BBCH 37-45) and to other plants at heading-anthesis (BBCH 59-65) while control plants were watered as usual. After 7 days of drought, the watering of treated plants was resumed to maintain the soil moisture at the level of control plants until the harvest. The penultimate leaf at the late stem elongation stage and flag leaf at the heading–anthesis period were used for measurements of photosynthetic apparatus response to drought. Plants of both varieties treated at stem elongation stage showed lower decline in the photosynthetic activity, chlorophyll content and grain productivity than those treated at heading-anthesis. The results obtained indicated that photosynthetic apparatus of wheat has a higher drought tolerance at the stem elongation stage than during the heading-anthesis stage. Furthermore, plants stressed at the stem elongation stage revealed better compensatory growth of lateral productive shoots due to superior supply of plants with assimilates after drought termination. Astarta variety had a more drought-tolerant photosynthetic apparatus and higher grain productivity in both well-watered and drought conditions as compared to Natalka variety. The differences between varieties were more contrasting when drought was applied at heading-anthesis.
Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy for Depression and Anxiety Disorders in Rural Settings: A Review of the Literature

Depression and anxiety disorder prevalence rates are similar across urbanicity levels, yet rural Americans are less likely to receive mental health treatment. Barriers related to availability, accessibility, and acceptability of care in rural areas have been well documented. Cognitive–behavioral therapy (CBT) is gold-standard, evidence-based care for these mental health conditions, though its delivery in rural settings has not been systematically assessed. We reviewed the existing literature to identify adaptations made to CBT for depression and anxiety disorders for rural delivery, and to examine the effect of CBT delivered in the rural context on depression and anxiety. We also assessed the studies’ methodological rigor. Sixteen articles published between 2000 and 2012 met review criteria, all of which adapted CBT for rural delivery. Common adaptations included technology-assisted treatment, delivery in non-mental-health settings, and services offered by nontraditional and less experienced providers. Results suggest CBT for depression and anxiety delivered with adaptations in rural areas is effective; however, less than 20% of the studies reviewed reported on fidelity to standard CBT. This article reviewed the limited literature that has tested CBT for depression and anxiety disorders in the rural context. Given the existing literature’s low methodological rigor, results must be interpreted with caution. Findings suggest that adaptations are needed to address barriers to care in rural communities, but little is known about how adaptations impact fidelity or outcomes. We synthesize the current knowledge, provide recommendations for bolstering future research, and discuss implications of rural residents’ lack of access to standard CBT.
Bruce Springsteen fan behavior and identification

This research studied Bruce Springsteen fans and investigated their fanship and fandom, fan-related behavior, worship, and psychological functions for listening to Springsteen’s music. In total, 600 Springsteen fans from the United States, Canada, Europe, the Nordic countries, South Africa, and South America filled an online survey distributed to them via fan forums. The results showed that on average the respondents had been Springsteen’s fans for three decades and had attended 27 shows in total. The primary function of listening to Springsteen’s music was to achieve self-awareness. More than half of the respondents listened to Springsteen’s music daily, and on average, more than half of the fans’ total music consumption was by Springsteen. The fans were also heavily involved in popular forms of fan consumption. Analyses showed some gender and cultural differences, particularly with females scoring higher level of fan identification and consumption, but no age differences. These findings indicate that it was possible to identify quantitative differences between fan behavior and identification, which have implications for the rock music marketing and management industry.
Optimizing the monomer structure of polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane for ion transport in hybrid organic–inorganic block copolymers

Author(s): Gao, KW; Jiang, X; Hoffman, ZJ; Sethi, GK; Chakraborty, S; Villaluenga, I; Balsara, NP | Abstract: © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Poly(ethylene oxide)-b-polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (PEO–POSS) mixed with lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide salt is a nanostructured hybrid organic–inorganic block copolymer electrolyte that may enable lithium metal batteries. The synthesis and characteristics of three PEO–POSS block copolymer electrolytes which only differ by their POSS silica cage substituents (ethyl, isobutyl, and isooctyl) is reported. Changing the POSS monomer structure results in differences in both thermodynamics and ion transport. All three neat polymers exhibit lamellar morphologies. Adding salt results in the formation of a disordered window which closes and gives way to lamellae at higher salt concentrations. The width of disordered window decreases with increasing length of the POSS alkyl chain substituent from ethyl to isobutyl and is absent in the isooctyl sample. Rheological measurements demonstrate good mechanical rigidity when compared with similar all-organic block copolymers. While salt diffusion coefficient and current ratio are unaffected by substituent length, ionic conductivity increases as the length of the alkyl chain substituent decreases: the ethyl substituent is optimal for ion transport. This is surprising because conventional wisdom suggests that ion transport occurs primarily in the PEO-rich domains, that is, ion transport should be unaffected by substituent length after accounting for the minor change in conducting phase volume fraction. © 2020 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
