Quality of Life Enhancement Programme for Individuals with Mood Disorder: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Objective/Background To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of the Quality of Life Enhancement Programme (QOLEP) for individuals with mood disorder. Methods Twenty-one individuals with mood disorder were recruited from psychiatric rehabilitation centres in Taipei City and were randomly assigned to either the treatment group (N = 11) or the control group (N = 10). The treatment group received an 8-week QOLEP. The control group received only “phone contact”, which included support for everyday situations pertaining to daily life and emotions. The primary outcome measure was evaluating improvements in quality of life using the World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF-Taiwan version questionnaire. The feasibility of the intervention was assessed by the recruitment rate, dropout rate of the participants, and by its content and delivery. The content and delivery were assessed by the group satisfaction questionnaire. The mixed-effects linear model was applied to analyze the efficacy of QOLEP. Results The individuals who participated in the eight-session QOLEP showed significant improvement in their level of depression compared with the control group [pre vs. post, treatment group: 25.8 (19.2) vs. 17.8 (13.1); control group: 13.3 (17.3) vs. 13.3 (14.4)]. The criteria of feasibility were met in this study. Most of the participants were satisfied with engaging in the QOLEP activities within a supportive environment. Conclusion The participants who received the 8-week QOLEP demonstrated significant improvement in the level of depression. Studies with a sample size of at least 104 participants are recommended in the future.
Un canto en movimiento: “No nos moverán” en Estados Unidos, España y Chile en los siglos XIX y XX

This article presents the results of a study that examines the history of the song We Shall Not Be Moved and the singing of it in different cultural and sociopolitical contexts over the course of two centuries. The song originated in the religious practices of African slaves in the United States in the 19th century. In the 20th century it was adopted as an anthem by labor union movements and the civil rights movement in the United States. It later arrived in Spain, where it played a role in the resistance against the Franco regime before being sung in Chile to defend the socialist project of Salvador Allende. Various theoretical concepts are used in the analysis, including those of transculturation, cosmopolitanism, and transcultural capital.
Bounds on the Capacity Region for a Class of Interference Channels With Common Information

An approximate capacity result is demonstrated for a specific class of interference channels with common information (IC-CI). The class is the semideterministic interference channel of Telatar and Tse, and the outer bound herein generalizes their bound from the case where each transmitter sends only private information to the case where each transmitter sends both private and common information to its corresponding receiver. It is shown that our outer bound is within a quantifiable gap of the inner bound of Jiang-Xin-Garg, a generalization of the Han-Kobayashi region to the IC-CI. Moreover, this result reproduces both the Telatar-Tse result in the case of no common information and a constant-gap-to-capacity result for the Gaussian IC-CI.

Power analysis for case–control association studies of samples with known family histories

Genome-wide case-control studies have been widely used to identify genetic variants that predispose to human diseases. Such studies are powerful in detecting common genetic variants with moderate effects, but quickly lose power as allele frequency and genotype relative risk decrease. Because patients with one or more affected relatives are more likely to inherit disease-predisposing alleles of a genetic disease than patients without family histories of the disease, sampling patients with affected relatives almost always increases the frequency of disease predisposing alleles in cases and improves the power of case-control association studies. This paper evaluates the power of case-control studies that select cases and/or controls according to their family histories of disease. Our results showed that this study design can dramatically increase the power of a case-control association study for a wide range of disease types. Because each additional affected relative of a patient reduces the required sample size roughly by a pair of case and control, inclusion of cases with affected relatives can dramatically decrease the required sample size and thus the cost of such studies.

The role of CO2variability and exposure time for biological impacts of ocean acidification

Biological impacts of ocean acidification have mostly been studied using future levels of CO without consideration of natural variability or how this modulates both duration and magnitude of CO exposure. Here we combine results from laboratory studies on coral reef fish with diurnal in situ CO data from a shallow coral reef, to demonstrate how natural variability alters exposure times for marine organisms under increasingly high-CO conditions. Large in situ CO variability already results in exposure of coral reef fish to short-term CO levels higher than laboratory-derived critical CO levels (∼600 μatm). However, we suggest that the in situ exposure time is presently insufficient to induce negative effects observed in laboratory studies. Our results suggest that both exposure time and the magnitude of CO levels will be important in determining the response of organisms to future ocean acidification, where both will increase markedly with future increases in CO. Key Points Seawater CO2 variability alters in situ CO2 exposure time and magnitude Fish are presently exposed to short-term CO2 levels above critical values Acidification experiments should consider both CO2 level and exposure times

Resolving m6a-mediated post-transcriptional control in the human malaria parasite

Post-transcriptional regulation in malaria parasites is key to the progression through different developmental stages of the complex life cycle within the human and mosquito host. This includes the asexual proliferation within human red blood cells that is responsible for all clinical symptoms of the disease and the preparation for the environmental changes accompanying transmission from host to vector and vice versa. Although the process that controls the destiny of mRNA are of critical importance to parasite survival and transmission, the molecular mechanisms orchestrating post-transcriptional regulation on a transcriptome-wide level remain largely unknown. We recently identified extensive methylation of adenosines (m6A) at internal mRNA positions as a new layer of post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in Plasmodium falciparum. With m6A, the parasite dynamically modulates its transcriptome through selective mRNA degradation and/or translational repression of modified transcripts during blood-stage development. This new epitranscriptomic layer provides a previously missing link between the transcriptional program and the observed post-transcriptional events throughout P. falciparum development. The proposed project aims to elucidate how m6A mediates different outcomes of mRNA at key developmental stages of the parasite life cycle. We will 1) characterize m6A-binding proteins and elucidate how different m6A ‘readers’ translate this mRNA modification into distinct biological pathways (i.e. degradation, repression) during blood-stage development and 2) investigate how m6A and its specific reader proteins designate mRNAs to facilitate transient quiescence in transmission stages (i.e. gametocytes and sporozoites) to ‘prime’ the transcriptome for new host/vector environments. Overall, exploring the epitranscriptome of this parasite will reveal novel principles and molecular determinants of post-transcriptional control that can be targeted to combat malaria.
Distinct Contributions of Ventromedial and Dorsolateral Subregions of the Human Substantia Nigra to Appetitive and Aversive Learning

The role of neurons in the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the midbrain in contributing to the elicitation of reward prediction errors during appetitive learning has been well established. Less is known about the differential contribution of these midbrain regions to appetitive versus aversive learning, especially in humans. Here we scanned human participants with high-resolution fMRI focused on the SN and VTA while they participated in a sequential Pavlovian conditioning paradigm involving an appetitive outcome (a pleasant juice), as well as an aversive outcome (an unpleasant bitter and salty flavor). We found a degree of regional specialization within the SN: Whereas a region of ventromedial SN correlated with a temporal difference reward prediction error during appetitive Pavlovian learning, a dorsolateral area correlated instead with an aversive expected value signal in response to the most distal cue, and to a reward prediction error in response to the most proximal cue to the aversive outcome. Furthermore, participants' affective reactions to both the appetitive and aversive conditioned stimuli more than 1 year after the fMRI experiment was conducted correlated with activation in the ventromedial and dorsolateral SN obtained during the experiment, respectively. These findings suggest that, whereas the human ventromedial SN contributes to long-term learning about rewards, the dorsolateral SN may be particularly important for long-term learning in aversive contexts.The role of the substantia nigra (SN) and ventral tegmental area (VTA) in appetitive learning is well established, but less is known about their contribution to aversive compared with appetitive learning, especially in humans. We used high-resolution fMRI to measure activity in the SN and VTA while participants underwent higher-order Pavlovian learning. We found a regional specialization within the SN: a ventromedial area was selectively engaged during appetitive learning, and a dorsolateral area during aversive learning. Activity in these areas predicted affective reactions to appetitive and aversive conditioned stimuli over 1 year later. These findings suggest that, whereas the human ventromedial SN contributes to long-term learning about rewards, the dorsolateral SN may be particularly important for long-term learning in aversive contexts.

A cross-sectional survey on consequences of nurses' burnout: moderating role of organizational politics

The aim of the study was to assess whether perceptions of organizational politics (defined as self-serving behaviours at the expense of others) influence the prospective associations between nurses' burnout and its consequences, namely, intention to quit and neglect of work.Researchers have previously investigated relationships between nurses' burnout, intention to quit, neglect of work and perceptions of organizational politics in different research models and from different perspectives. As far as we know, no studies have considered whether nurses' perceptions of organizational politics moderate the influence of burnout.A cross-sectional survey using self-report questionnaires.Data were collected by questionnaire from a sample of 456 nurses from six private hospitals in Ankara, Turkey in March 2015. Four different previously designed scales were used to measure research variables (burnout, intention to quit, neglect of work and perceptions of organizational politics). Following confirmatory validity and reliability analyses of data collection instruments, descriptive statistics for each research variable were analysed. Structural regression models were created to assess relationships among variables.Burnout resulted in intention to quit and neglect. Intention to quit partially mediated the association between burnout and neglect. Burnout gave rise to intention to quit slightly more strongly in nurses who had greater perceptions of organizational politics.This study uncovers and emphasizes the moderating role of perceptions of organizational politics in consequences of burnout. This may help hospital managers and nurses to improve costs, efficiency, satisfaction and productivity.
A unified grid current control for grid-interactive DG inverters in microgrids

This paper proposes a unified grid current control for grid-interactive distributed generation inverters. In the approach, the grid-side current, instead of inverter-side current, is controlled as an inner loop, while the filter capacitor voltage is indirectly regulated through a virtual admittance in the outer loop. It, therefore, provides several superior features over traditional control schemes: 1) high-quality grid current in the grid-connected mode, 2) inherent derivative-less virtual output impedance control, and 3) the unified active damping for both grid-connected and islanded operations. Root locus analyses in the discrete z-domain are performed for elaborating the controller design. Simulations and experimental results demonstrate the performances of the proposed approach.
