Self–Other Differences in Student Drinking Norms Research: The Role of Impression Management, Self‐Deception, and Measurement Methodology
Authors: Melson Ambrose J. , Monk Rebecca Louise , Heim Derek 
Published: October 2016

BackgroundData‐driven student drinking norms interventions are based on reported normative overestimation of the extent and approval of an average student's drinking. Self‐reported differences between personal and perceived normative drinking behaviors and attitudes are taken at face value as evidence of actual levels of overestimation. This study investigates whether commonly used data collection methods and socially desirable responding (SDR) may inadvertently impede establishing “objective” drinking norms.MethodsU.K. students (N = 421; 69% female; mean age 20.22 years [SD = 2.5]) were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 versions of a drinking norms questionnaire: The standard multi‐target questionnaire assessed respondents’ drinking attitudes and behaviors (frequency of consumption, heavy drinking, units on a typical occasion) as well as drinking attitudes and behaviors for an “average student.” Two deconstructed versions of this questionnaire assessed identical behaviors and attitudes for participants themselves or an “average student.” The Balanced Inventory of Desirable Responding was also administered.ResultsStudents who answered questions about themselves and peers reported more extreme perceived drinking attitudes for the average student compared with those reporting solely on the “average student.” Personal and perceived reports of drinking behaviors did not differ between multitarget and single‐target versions of the questionnaire. Among those who completed the multitarget questionnaire, after controlling for demographics and weekly drinking, SDR was related positively with the magnitude of difference between students’ own reported behaviors/attitudes and those perceived for the average student.ConclusionsStandard methodological practices and socially desirable responding may be sources of bias in peer norm overestimation research.

ObjectivePhysical activity (PA) is good for health, yet several small‐scale studies have suggested that depression is associated with low PA. A paucity of nationally representative studies investigating this relationship exists, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). This study explored the global association of PA with depression and its mediating factors.MethodParticipants from 36 LMICs from the World Health Survey were included. Multivariable logistic regression analyses were undertaken exploring the relationship between PA and depression.ResultsAcross 178 867 people (mean ± SD age = 36.2 ± 13.5 years; 49.9% male), the prevalence of depression and the prevalence of low PA were 6.6% and 16.8% respectively. The prevalence of low PA was significantly higher among those with depression vs. no depression (26.0% vs. 15.8%, P < 0.0001). In the adjusted model, depression was associated with higher odds for low PA (OR = 1.42; 95% CI = 1.24–1.63). Mediation analyses demonstrated that low PA among people with depression was explained by mobility limitations (40.3%), pain and discomfort (35.8%), disruptions in sleep and energy (25.2%), cognition (19.4%) and vision (10.9%).ConclusionIndividuals with depression engage in lower levels of PA in LMICs. Future longitudinal research is warranted to better understand the relationships observed.

AbstractBackgroundThe severity of bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) is a fundamental feature of asthma. The severity of BHR varies between asthmatics and is associated with lack of asthma control. The mechanisms underlying this trait are still unclear. This study aimed to identify genes associated with BHR severity, using a genomewide association study (GWAS) on the slope of BHR in adult asthmatics.MethodsWe performed a GWAS on BHR severity in adult asthmatics from the Dutch Asthma GWAS cohort (n = 650), adjusting for smoking and inhaled corticosteroid use, and verified results in three other cohorts. Furthermore, we performed eQTL and co‐expression analyses in lung tissue.ResultsIn the discovery cohort, one genomewide significant hit located in phosphodiesterase 4D, cAMP‐specif (PDE4D) and 26 SNPs with P‐values < 1*10−5 were found. None of our findings replicated in adult and childhood replication cohorts jointly. In adult cohorts separately, rs1344110 in pituitary tumour‐transforming 1 interacting protein (PTTG1IP) and rs345983 in Mastermind‐like 3 (MAML3) replicated nominally; minor alleles of rs345983 and rs1344110 were associated with less severe BHR and higher lung tissue gene expression. PTTG1IP showed significant co‐expression with pituitary tumour‐transforming 1, the binding factor of PTTG1lP, and with vimentin and E‐cadherin1. MAML3 co‐expressed significantly with Mastermind‐like 2 (MAML2), both involved in Notch signalling.ConclusionsPTTG1IP and MAML3 are associated with BHR severity in adult asthma. The relevance of these genes is supported by the eQTL analyses and co‐expression of PTTG1lP with vimentin and E‐cadherin1, and MAML3 with MAML2.

AbstractMultiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 (MEN2) is an autosomal‐dominant cancer syndrome with major components of medullary thyroid carcinoma, pheochromocytoma, and hyperparathyroidism. MEN2B is the most aggressive and rarest of the MEN2 variants. Pheochromocytoma in MEN2 is virtually always located in the adrenal medulla, but MEN2‐associated extra‐adrenal pheochromocytomas (paraganglioma) are rare. A 59‐year‐old man who has been diagnosed with MEN2B consulted our hospital for surgical treatment of a 10‐mm left adrenal mass and a 30‐mm retroperitoneal mass. He had paroxysmal elevations in blood pressure and in urinary metanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid values. Laparoscopic excision of the left adrenal gland and retroperitoneal mass was performed. We experienced an extremely rare case of composite paraganglioma‐ganglioneuroma concomitant with adrenal metastasis of medullary thyroid carcinoma in a patient with MEN2B.

Published: October 2016

AbstractBackgroundResurveying historical vegetation plots has become more and more popular in recent years as it provides a unique opportunity to estimate vegetation and environmental changes over the past decades. Most historical plots, however, are not permanently marked and uncertainty in plot location, in addition to observer bias and seasonal bias, may add significant errors to temporal change. These errors may have major implications for the reliability of studies on long‐term environmental change and deserve closer attention of vegetation ecologists.MethodsVegetation data obtained from the resurveying of non‐permanently marked plots are assessed for their potential to study environmental change effects on plant communities and the challenges the use of such data have to meet. We describe the properties of vegetation resurveys, distinguishing basic types of plots according to relocation error, and we highlight the potential of such data types for studying vegetation dynamics and their drivers. Finally, we summarize the challenges and limitations of resurveying non‐permanently marked vegetation plots for different purposes in environmental change research.Results and conclusionsRe‐sampling error is caused by three main independent sources of error: error caused by plot relocation, observer bias and seasonality bias. For relocation error, vegetation plots can be divided into permanent and non‐permanent plots, while the latter are further divided into quasi‐permanent (with approximate relocation) and non‐traceable (with random relocation within a sampled area) plots. To reduce the inherent sources of error in resurvey data, the following precautions should be followed: (i) resurvey historical vegetation plots whose approximate plot location within a study area is known; (ii) consider all information available from historical studies in order to keep plot relocation errors low; (iii) resurvey at times of the year when vegetation development is comparable to the historical survey to control for seasonal variability in vegetation; (iv) retain a high level of experience of the observers to keep observer bias low; and (v) edit and standardize data sets before analyses.

Published: October 2016

AbstractBackgroundRegarding the current approach, there is no evidence to show which treatment technique is the most accurate and useful in peri‐implant defects.PurposeThe aim of this study is comparing the effect of porous titanium granule (PTG) with rotary titanium brush and the use of xenograft and collagen membrane in the treatment of intra‐bony peri‐implant defects.Materials and MethodsTwenty‐two patients, suffering peri‐implantitis defects were included this study. Patients were divided into two groups: The PTG group used rotary titanium brush, PTG, and platelet rich fibrin (PRF) membrane. The XGF group used xenograft bone substitute, collagen membrane, and PRF membrane. Clinical measurements and cone beam computed tomography per region were recorded as baseline and sixth month after surgery.ResultsThe mean CAL values were improved from 5.29 ± 1.06 to 3.59 ± 0.88 mm in PTG group, while in XGF group; these values were improved from 4.77 ± 1.05 to 3.30 ± 0.58 mm. Radiographic bone filling values displayed a statistically significant difference between of groups. In PTG groups, these radiological values increased more than the XGF group.ConclusionsPTG may be more appropriate for peri‐implantitis surgery than xenograft due to inert structure and comfortable use of PTG to provide mechanical support for enlarging the surface area of the implant.

Published: October 2016

AbstractIntroduction and AimsIntimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration is common among men who use substances. Substance use is a contributing factor for IPV perpetration. This cross‐sectional study determined lifetime prevalence and factors associated with ever perpetrating IPV by men receiving substance use treatment in Brazil (n = 281) and England (n = 223).Design and MethodsIPV, adverse childhood experiences, attitudes towards gender relations and roles, current health state, substance use, depressive symptoms and anger expression were assessed. Logistic regression determined factors associated with ever perpetrating any (emotional, physical and/or sexual) IPV. Multinomial logistic regression determined factors associated with ever perpetrating different types of IPV.Results74.6% (373/500) reported ever perpetrating IPV: 16.5% (82/498) emotional IPV only, 46.4% (231/498) physical IPV (with/without emotional IPV) and 11.6% (58/498) sexual IPV (with/without emotional and/or physical IPV). Higher anger expression, higher depressive symptoms, fighting physically with another man in the past year (Brazil only), experiencing a greater number of adverse childhood experiences and a higher hazardous drinking score (England only) predicted ever perpetrating IPV. Compared to never perpetrating any IPV, anger expression was associated with emotional and physical IPV perpetration; fighting physically with another man in the past year was associated with physical IPV perpetration and experiencing a greater number of adverse childhood experiences and a higher hazardous drinking score were associated with both physical and sexual IPV perpetration.Discussion and ConclusionsIntegrated interventions that address IPV and substance use delivered in substance use treatment could improve outcomes for perpetrators and victims.[Gilchrist G, Radcliffe P, Noto AR, d'Oliveira AFPL.

Male mate choice based on chemical cues in the cricketAcheta domesticus(Orthoptera:Gryllidae)

1. Males in many animal species exercise mate choice to maximise their reproductive success, assessing females by characteristics related to reproductive potential, such as mating status, body size, and age. The sensory modalities involved in mate choice are often not firmly demonstrated, but only inferred. This is especially true for chemical cues and signals.2. The present study tests whether males of the cricketAcheta domesticusare able to choose among females based only on chemosensory cues. InA. domesticus, as in many crickets, males call to attract females or roam the habitat silently to search for females. In three‐way choice trials, males were presented with two filter papers that had been placed with females for 24 h prior to the trials and one blank control. Females were either mated or virgin and starved or well‐fed. It was predicted that males would prefer virgin over mated females and those in good condition over starved ones.3. Males were more likely to contact filters that had been exposed to females. They spent more time examining filter papers from virgin females than those from mated ones, while the condition of the females had no effect.4. We conclude that males can detect chemical cues from females on substrate and distinguish virgin females from mated ones. Being able to assess sperm competition risk prior to mating or even before further pursuing a trail with chemical cues should confer a considerable benefit to males.
Source Odor, Intensity, and Exposure Pattern Affect Antipredatory Responses in the Subterranean Rodent Ctenomys talarum

AbstractPredation is a strong selective force, and prey species may show specific adaptations that allow recognition, avoidance, and defense against predators. Facing a situation of predatory risk, anxiety constitutes a reaction of adaptive value, allowing to evaluate the potential risk of this encounter as well as to generate a physiological and behavioral response. Previous studies in the subterranean rodent Ctenomys talarum revealed that exposure to predator odors (urine or fur) generates an anxiety state and induces behavioral changes. However, no differences between the responses generated by both odor sources were observed, although fur odors may indicate a higher level of predatory immanence. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the behavioral and physiological responses of C. talarum to different intensities of predator odors (urine and fur) and to the repeated exposition to the same odorous stimulus. When comparing the highest behavioral effects elicited by both predatory odors on C. talarum, our study supports the assumption that fur odors are more anxiogenic than urine, while the former provoked significant changes in the distance traveled, the number of arm entries and time in transparent arms in the elevated plus maze; cat urine only caused slight changes on those behavioral parameters. Furthermore, we also found that the intensity of natural predator odor presented to tuco‐tucos has a role on the appearance of defensive behaviors, although an amount‐dependent relationship between predator odor and anxiety levels was not observed. Finally, while individuals exposed for 1 day to fur odor displayed an evident anxiety state, those exposed repeatedly for 5 consecutive days did not differ with the control group in their behavioral response, indicating a clear habituation to the predatory cue. In our intensity and habituation experiments, we did not find differences in the measured physiological parameters among control individuals, exposed to different cues intensity (urine and fur odor) and exposed only once or for 5 days to fur odor. These results provide valuable evidence that the types of predatory odor, along with the frequency of exposition, are important determinants of the appearance, strength, and extinction of defensive behaviors in the subterranean rodent C. talarum.
Does wing size shape insect biogeography? Evidence from a diverse regional stonefly assemblage

AbstractAimDispersal ability has traditionally been seen as a key influence on species distributions, but recent biogeographical analyses have cast doubt on the strength of this association. Here we present biogeographical evidence from New Zealand's entire plecopteran fauna (100 species) to test for associations between flight ability and species range, and to determine the extent of wing reduction that is required to influence biogeographical patterns.LocationThe main islands of New Zealand, representing a land area of 270,000 km2. These islands host a diverse assemblage of endemic stoneflies, including a substantial number of wing‐reduced taxa.MethodsWe analyse biogeographical data, encompassing over 7000 species/locality records, across all 100 stonefly taxa recorded from New Zealand's mainland. Distributional data are analysed together with morphological data, in a phylogenetic framework, to test the hypothesis that wing length (dispersal ability) has a significant association with range size.ResultsOur analyses indicate a strong relationship between species wing length and area of occupancy, unconfounded by phylogenetic relationships. A significant positive correlation was also observed between geographical range and relative wing length in both sexes, with consistent patterns observed in distinct families. When the analysis was confined only to macropterous species the relationship between wing length and area of occupancy remained significant.Main conclusionsThis study shows that rapid switches in dispersal ability are linked to dramatic biogeographical contrasts. While complete wing loss is associated with major range reduction, it is also clear that even small reductions in wing size can significantly influence biogeographical patterns. Broadly, the analysis demonstrates that by focusing on a major regional assemblage of ecologically, and phylogenetically, similar taxa, it is possible to show that even subtle morphological shifts can be correlated with substantial biogeographical change.
Edentulism and associated factors among community‐dwelling middle‐aged and elderly adults in China

ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence of self‐reported edentulism and its associated risk factors among community‐dwelling adults aged 45 years and older in China.Materials and MethodsData from the national baseline survey (2011–2012) of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were used for this study (N = 17 167). Bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were conducted to assess the predictors of edentulism. Models 1 and 2 were based on the whole sample. Models 3 and 4 were based on the subsample (N = 9933) from whom anthropometric and blood biomarker data were available.ResultsThe prevalence of edentulism was 8.64% among Chinese adults aged 45 and above. As shown by Model 1, older age was a robust predictor for edentulism (odds ratio [OR] = 3.81 for people aged 55–64; OR = 11.22 for people aged 65–74; OR = 24.05 for people aged 75 and above). Other factors positively associated with edentulism included being female (OR = 1.25), rural residence (OR = 1.30), asthma (OR = 1.48), depression (OR = 1.20), reduced physical function (OR = 1.37) and current smoking status (OR = 1.36). People with higher educational levels (OR = 0.75 for people who can read and write; OR = 0.64 for people who obtained a junior high school education or above) and better‐off economic status (OR = 0.80) were less likely to be edentate. The association between edentulism and age, educational level, economic status and physical function remained significant in Model 3, and in addition, being underweight appeared as another strong predictor (OR = 1.93).ConclusionsThe estimated prevalence of edentulism and the identified associated factors will provide epidemiologic evidence for future research and interventions in the target population in China.
The role of the stress regime on microseismicity induced by overpressure and cooling in geologic carbon storage
Authors: Vilarrasa V. 
Published: October 2016

AbstractFluid injection in deep geological formations usually induces microseismicity. In particular, industrial‐scale injection of CO2 may induce a large number of microseismic events. Since CO2 is likely to reach the storage formation at a lower temperature than that corresponding to the geothermal gradient, both overpressure and cooling decrease the effective stresses and may induce microseismicity. Here, we investigate the effect of the stress regime on the effective stress evolution and fracture stability when injecting cold CO2 through a horizontal well in a deep saline formation. Simulation results show that when only overpressure occurs, the vertical total stress remains practically constant, but the horizontal total stresses increase proportionally to overpressure. These hydro‐mechanical stress changes result in a slight improvement in fracture stability in normal faulting stress regimes because the decrease in deviatoric stress offsets the decrease in effective stresses produced by overpressure. However, fracture stability significantly decreases in reverse faulting stress regimes because the size of the Mohr circle increases in addition to being displaced towards failure conditions. Fracture stability also decreases in strike slip stress regimes because the Mohr circle maintains its size and is shifted towards the yield surface a magnitude equal to overpressure minus the increase in the horizontal total stresses. Additionally, cooling induces a thermal stress reduction in all directions, but larger in the out‐of‐plane direction. This stress anisotropy causes, apart from a displacement of the Mohr circle towards the yield surface, an increase in the size of the Mohr circle. These two effects decrease fracture stability, resulting in the strike slip being the least stable stress regime when cooling occurs, followed by the reverse faulting and the normal faulting stress regimes. Thus, characterizing the stress state is crucial to determine the maximum sustainable injection pressure and maximum temperature drop to safely inject CO2.
