The Emotional Intelligence, Health, and Well‐Being Nexus: What Have We Learned and What Have We Missed?
Authors: Zeidner Moshe , Matthews Gerald , Roberts Richard D. 
Published: November 2011

This paper reviews the claimed pivotal role of emotional intelligence (EI) in well‐being and health. Specifically, we examine the utility of EI in predicting health and well‐being and point to future research issues that the field might profitably explore. EI is predictive of various indicators of well‐being, as well as both physical and psychological health, but existing research has methodological limitations including over‐reliance on self‐report measures, and neglect of overlap between EI and personality measures. Interventions focusing on emotional perception, understanding and expression, and emotion regulation, seem potentially important for improving health and well‐being, but research on EI has not yet made a major contribution to therapeutic practice. Future research, using a finer‐grained approach to measurement of both predictors and criteria might most usefully focus on intra‐ and inter‐personal processes that may mediate effects of EI on health.A video abstract of this article can be viewed at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_8JZX1Uc4k.
Temporal stability and species specificity in bacteria associated with the bottlenose dolphins respiratory system
Authors: Lima Nicole , Rogers Tracey , Acevedo‐Whitehouse Karina , Brown Mark V. 
Published: November 2011

SummaryWe demonstrate that the exhaled breath condensate, or ‘blow’, from marine mammals can be used to examine respiratory associated microbial communities using non‐invasive sampling methods. Blow samples from two species of bottlenose dolphin, Tursiops truncatus and T. aduncus, along with hybrid offspring, were examined using molecular microbial ecology methods. A temporal analysis revealed that microbial community structure of each individual remained distinct from other individuals over a two‐month period, indicting strong host specificity. The taxonomic composition of samples, based on pyrosequencing of the V1–V3 regions of the 16S rRNA gene, from 24 healthy individuals was dominated by the Cardiobacteraceae lineage of Gammaproteobacteria, comprising on average 52% of sequences in all samples. Sequences in this taxa were associated with novel clades that contain only sequences from dolphin respiratory tracts. Other genera that likely form part of the core biota include the Saccharospirillaceae (Gammaproteobacteria), Arcobacter (Epsilonproteobacteria), Hydrogenimonaceae (Epsilonproteobacteria), Halotalea (Gammaproteobacteria), Aquimarina (Flavobacteria) and Helococcus (Clostridia). Significant differences between samples from different species were observed only at the species/ strain level, driven by the relative contributions of strains from the most common phylogenetic lineages. Analysis of communities associated with hybrid animals provides tentative evidence for a paternal role in community assembly. Clear overlap was observed with data collected by capture and swabbing of bottlenose dolphins blowholes, indicating this method provides a novel non‐invasive alternative to monitoring marine mammal population health.
The Choice between Politics-Oriented and Risk-Oriented Management in Korea: Transition to Manage All Kinds of Risks
Authors: Ha Kyoo-Man 
Published: November 2011

Abstract
This article aims to facilitate the transition from politics-oriented management to risk-oriented management in the field of Korean emergency management by analyzing the barriers and alternatives around three key players, namely, (1) the National Assembly, (2) the National Emergency Management Agency, and (3) business corporations. These three players have continued to focus on managing both fire and flood due to typhoon by utilizing politics-oriented management. In other words, when the other risks occur, Korea will surely face related catastrophe. Therefore, it is urgent for Korea to manage all kinds of risks equally, including fire and flood due to typhoon, by embarking on risk-oriented management.
De glazeniersfamilie Crabeth en hun werkzaamheden in Saint-Hubert d'Ardenne
Authors: de Groot Wim 
Published: November 2011

AbstractThe intention of my article is to reopen the investigation into the heritage of the Crabeth family and their activities as glaziers of stained-glass windows along with other works of art they produced in the sixteenth century.
For a long time it was believed that Pieter Dircksz Crabeth and his famous sons Dirck and Wouter originated from Gouda, where they achieved their greatest work: eighteen stained-glass windows for Sint Janskerk. In my contribution I give an account of the pre-Gouda period and make clear that their field of activities was wider and more far-reaching than is commonly agreed upon.
Profiles of their patrons provide an insight into the network to which the Crabeths belonged. Their contacts with the land of Cuijk and the prince bishopric of Liège have been investigated and documented.
Count Floris of Egmond-Buren and his commission to Pieter Crabeth to make eight windows for his castle in Grave in 1522 is highlighted. Research shows a patronage relationship between the house of Egmond and the Crabeth family.
In a letter written by Abbott Nicolas de Malaise we find evidence of a stay by Dirck and Wouter Crabeth at Saint Hubert d'Ardenne around 1523 due to the rebuilding of the abbey church in Renaissance style. The impetus for this letter was a fatal accident caused by Wouter Crabeth's horse. The article goes into the judicial implications of such an event and the consequences for the person involved at that time. The letter expresses the abbot's concern about Wouter's stay in Saint-Hubert with regard to the continuity of the building project.
Twenty years later Pieter and Dirck Crabeth are again invited by Abbott Remacle de Marche to produce stained-glass windows for the abbey church in Saint Hubert, which had been destroyed by fire in the intervening years. The window of Adolf von Schauenburg, who later became archbishop of Cologne, is a wonderful example from this period and it is the only known glass by Pieter Crabeth still in situ. Research into stylistic elements of the rendering of the suffragan bishop in the Gouda cartoon Confirmatio and the patron saint Lambert in the Schauenburg window show a remarkable resemblance between the two figures.
In view of the activities of the Crabeths in Saint Hubert d'Ardenne, critical research is called for into the authorship of the windows in the bishopric of Liège and the probability of the glaziers being involved in glass production studios in its capital.
New insights based upon thorough studies of material and written sources with detailed notes and glosses, along with recent archival investigations, are presented here in the hope that discussion about Pieter Crabeth and his sons Dirck and Wouter will be given new life and put into a wider perspective.
An Extension of Power: Criminal Justice, Law Enforcement, and Elite Rule in the South Carolina Lowcountry on the Eve of the American Revolution
Authors: Palmer Aaron J. 
Published: November 2011

AbstractSouth Carolina's highly centralized and effective criminal justice system was an important extension of elite political power throughout the colony. It served two major functions: first, it served to protect property, the ultimate source of political power for the planter and merchant classes who ruled South Carolina as it supplied wealth, social status and the opportunity to hold high office. Second, by protecting property (even though the system often focused on elite property) and upholding order, the lowcountry elite united their interests with the interests of the general population who would also benefit from protection against property crime and disorder. Since the lowcountry elite also had to control a vast number of slaves and had to rely on all of the colony's white population to do so, providing effective government could serve as an important way to cultivate popular support. This paper examines the workings of South Carolina's criminal justice system and that system's priorities. By studying patterns in prosecution and punishment, one can see that the courts successfully attended to elite priorities.
Arylethynylanthraquinone and Bis(arylethynyl)anthraquinone: Strong Donor–Acceptor Interaction and Proton-induced Cyclization to Form Pyrylium and Dipyrylium Salts
Authors: Sakamoto Ryota , Rao Koya Prabhakara , Nishihara Hiroshi 
Published: November 2011

Abstract
In this account we describe ethynylene-conjugated arylethynylanthraquinone (ArAq) and bis(arylethynyl)anthraquinone (Ar2Aq) which possess ferrocene, triarylamine, platinadithiolene complex, p-methoxybenzene, p-methylbenzene, m-methylbenzene, and benzene as electron-donating arenes (Ar), and anthraquinone (Aq) as an electron acceptor. This series of compounds features donor–acceptor (D–A) interactions: (1) Expression of intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) transitions; (2) flexible single crystal networks constructed by intermolecular D–A π–π stacking, which undergo guest-induced reversible crystal-to-crystal transformations. In addition, ArAq and Ar2Aq experience proton-induced cyclization so as to produce pyrylium and dipyrylium salts. These salts feature further expanded π-conjugation and stronger D–A interaction: (1) More red-shifted ICT transitions and narrower HOMO–LUMO gaps; (2) bright fluorescence; (3) valence tautomerism (VT); (4) unique reactivities.

Published: November 2011

Abstract
The electrocatalytic oxidation of formic acid (FA) at Pt–Au nanoparticle (NP)-modified glassy carbon (GC) electrode has been investigated. The catalytic activity toward the electrooxidation of FA was greatly influenced by the method of the electrode preparation. The highest catalytic activity was obtained on Pt/Au/–NH2/GC electrode in which the GC electrode was chemically modified with gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and Pt nanoparticles (PtNPs) were next electrochemically deposited on top of AuNPs.

Authors: Hampl Jeffrey S. , Taylor Christopher A. , Booth Cheryl L. 
Published: November 2011

Purpose. To compare dietary intakes of nonsmoking adults married to smokers or non-smokers. Design. Respondents to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals (CSFII), 1994 to 1996 (response rate = 76.1% for 2 days of dietary intake). Nonsmoking adults aged 18 and older were grouped according to the smoking status of their spouse. Setting. In-home interviews in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Subjects. The selected sample included 757 men and 754 women who were married to nonsmokers, and 197 men and 262 women who were married to smokers. Measures. Selected demographic variables, food group servings, food energy, and densities of selected nutrients were compared using χ2 and analysis of covariance. Results. Men and women married to smokers had greater (p ⩽ .025) energy-adjusted intakes of total and saturated fat but significantly lower (p ⩽ .05) energy-adjusted intakes of fiber and vitamin A. Men married to smokers consumed significantly more (p < .025) energy-adjusted cholesterol and ethanol but significantly less calcium (p = .026); women married to smokers consumed significantly less (p = .014) energy-adjusted folate. Men married to smokers consumed significantly more (p ⩽ .05) alcoholic beverages, coffee, and soft drinks; women married to smokers consumed significantly less water (p = .014) but more cheese and table sweeteners (p ⩽ .05). Conclusions. Nonsmoking men and women who were married to smokers had compromised dietary intakes. Nonsmoking men whose wives smoked, in particular, had unhealthy diets due to elevated intakes of fat and cholesterol and low intakes of vitamin A, calcium, and fiber. Health professionals should continue to provide tobacco cessation instruction and dietary guidance, but also be aware of at-risk patients' immediate family members who likely share an increased risk of disease because of poor diet quality and exposure to environmental tobacco smoke.
A New Measure for Assessing the Physical Activity Behaviors of Persons with Disabilities and Chronic Health Conditions: The Physical Activity and Disability Survey
Authors: Rimmer James H. , Riley Barth B. , Rubin Stephen S. 
Published: November 2011

Purpose. Assess the psychometric properties of the Physical Activity and Disability Survey (PADS), a new physical activity measure for persons with disabilities and chronic health conditions. Design. Cross-sectional and pre-post designs were employed. Setting. A Midwestern university fitness center. Subjects. Participants were 103 individuals with disabilities and/or chronic health conditions. Measures. The Physical Activity and Disability Survey (PADS), peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2), maximum workload (MW), and time to exhaustion (TE) during exercise. Results. Factor analysis revealed a four-factor model that generally corresponded to PADS subscales. Cronbach alpha coefficients ranged from .67 (Exercise) to .77 (Time Indoors). Test-retest reliability (1-week interval) ranged from .78 (Time Indoors) to .95 (Leisure Time Physical Activity). Interrater reliability ranged from .92 (Household Activities) to .99 (Exercise, Leisure Time Physical Activity, Total Activity). Significant (p < .05) correlations were found between PADS subscales and absolute peak VO2 (Leisure Time Physical Activity, Household Activity, Total Activity), relative peak VO2 (Exercise, Time Indoors), MW (Time Indoors, Household Activity), and TE (Household Activity, Total Activity). Analyses of variance revealed that, unlike controls, health promotion program participants evidenced significant pre-post gains as measured by the Exercise subscale and Total Activity score. Conclusions. The findings lend support for the reliability and validity of the PADS as a measure of physical activity of groups who are sedentary and disabled.
Measuring Stage of Change for Assessing Readiness to Increase Fruit and Vegetable Intake among 18- to 24-Year-Olds
Authors: Ma Jun , Betts Nancy M. , Horacek Tanya 
Published: November 2011

Purpose. To examine the appropriateness of the five-stage schema developed for addictive behaviors when applied to nonaddictive behaviors such as fruit and vegetable consumption. Design. A cross-sectional mail survey was conducted. Setting. Self-administered questionnaires were mailed to the home addresses of respondents recruited in 10 states and returned upon completion. Subjects. In all, 116 male and 185 female young adults (response rate = 70%) completed the questionnaires. Most respondents were Caucasian (74.4%) and college students (62.2%). Measures. Statistical analyses included analysis of variance with Scheffe's test, Pearson correlation and Cronbach's a coefficients, factor analysis, and cluster analysis. Results. Staging algorithms for fruits and vegetables were developed according to the five-stage schema, and their construct validity was verified by the incremental trend of food intakes. The algorithms identified more than 80% of the subjects as precontemplators, preparers, or maintainers for both food groups. This distribution pattern agreed well with the three-factor solution generated from the stages of change questionnaire, for which internal reliability and validity were confirmed. Seven cluster profiles of the respondents were derived based on the three generated factors and appeared to represent stage subgroupings of those factors. The two food groups shared marked similarities regarding the profiling of the clusters, which was validated by comparing food intake. The results, however, cannot be generalized because of limitations involved in the current sample. Conclusions. The original five stages of change and traditional staging measures may need to be adapted and/or extended for dietary change.
Construct Validity of the Stages of Change of Exercise Adoption for Different Intensities of Physical Activity in Four Samples of Differing Age Groups

Published: November 2011

Purpose. To examine whether the stages of change of exercise adoption appropriately address strenuous, moderate, and mild intensities of physical activity. Design and Setting. Secondary analysis of four data sets investigating transtheoretical model (TTM) constructs for exercise adoption. Subjects. Four samples of differing age groups (adolescents, n = 400; college students, n = 240; adults, n = 346; seniors, n = 504). Measures. Stage of change algorithm for exercise adoption and self-reported physical activity. Results. Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) results showed that stages of change were distinguished by strenuous and moderate but not mild exercise in the adolescent, college student, and adult sample. In the senior sample, stage differences were found in the frequency of exercising (equivalent for moderate to strenuous exercise) and the frequency of walking (equivalent for mild exercise). Bivariate correlation coefficients as well as sensitivity, specificity, and related quality indices decreased respectively from strenuous to moderate to mild exercise and from exercising to walking. Conclusions. Results provide additional support for the construct validity of the stages of change for strenuous and moderate intensities of physical activity. Development of a new stage assessment instrument for mild intensities of physical activity is recommended. Limitations include use of a different validation measure of exercise behavior in the senior sample.
Hour of birth and birth assistance: From a primate to a medicalized pattern?
Authors: Bernis Cristina , Varea Carlos 
Published: November 2011

AbstractObjectives:Previous studies generally agree that in Homo sapiens births without medical intervention occur mostly at night, although with a less accentuated pattern than in other primate species. The present study has three main objectives: (a) to establish the hourly pattern of births in a modern medicalized population, (b) to explore the association between the hour of birth and maternal and fetal variables and mode of delivery, and (c) to evaluate the risk for medical intervention at different hours of the day.Methods:The hourly distribution of 25,779 deliveries at the “La Paz” Madrid University Maternity Hospital (Spain) has been analyzed. Two different multivariate analyses have been used to evaluate, respectively, the relationships between maternal and fetal characteristics and the type of birth and hour of delivery.Results:The increasing of unnecessary hospital interventions seems to have transformed the nocturnal pattern of birth into a diurnal one and may be contributing to the rise of preterm and low birth weight deliveries, reducing their probability of being breastfeed, and eliminating or transforming emotional and social support. Immigrant women present a higher frequency of the nocturnal pattern of delivery than their Spanish counterparts.Conclusions:The predominant nocturnal pattern of birth seems to have disappeared in a Spanish highly medicalized population. However, the hallmark of primate nocturnal deliveries is evident when multiple births, malpresentation, Caesarean sections, and vaginal interventions are excluded. Possible consequences of diurnal birth include reduced infant–mother bonding, breast feeding, and later life reductions to health. Am. J. Hum. Biol., 2012. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
A two‐dimensional approach to performance evaluation for a large number of research institutions
Authors: Kuan Chung‐Huei , Huang Mu‐Hsuan , Chen Dar‐Zen 
Published: November 2011

AbstractWe characterize the research performance of a large number of institutions in a two‐dimensional coordinate system based on the shapes of their h‐cores so that their relative performance can be conveniently observed and compared. The 2D distribution of these institutions is then utilized (1) to categorize the institutions into a number of qualitative groups revealing the nature of their performance, and (2) to determine the position of a specific institution among the set of institutions. The method is compared with some major h‐type indices and tested with empirical data using clinical medicine as an illustrative case. The method is extensible to the research performance evaluation at other aggregation levels such as researchers, journals, departments, and nations.
A Highly Efficient Friedel–Crafts Reaction of 3‐Hydroxyoxindoles and Aromatic Compounds to 3,3‐Diaryl and 3‐Alkyl‐3‐aryloxindoles Catalyzed by Hg(ClO4)2⋅3 H2O
Authors: Zhou Feng , Cao Zhong‐Yan , Zhang Jing , Yang Hai‐Bo , Zhou Jian 
Published: November 2011

AbstractWe report a highly efficient Friedel–Crafts reaction of 3‐alkyl or 3‐aryl 3‐hydroxyoxindoles with a variety of aromatic and heteroaromatic compounds to unsymmetrical 3,3‐diaryloxindoles or 3‐alkyl‐3‐aryloxindoles, which are interesting medicinal targets and useful building blocks for the synthesis of natural products. Hg(ClO4)2⋅3 H2O was identified as a powerful catalyst for this reaction, and is significantly more efficient than other screened metal perchlorate hydrates and Brønsted acids such as HOTf and HClO4. The high catalytic property of Hg(ClO4)2⋅3 H2O originates from the unprecedented dual activation effects of aromatic mercuration, which could generate a strong protic acid to facilitate the generation of a carbocation at the C3‐position of oxindoles and simultaneously form the more reactive nucleophilic reaction partner.
An Increased Endothelial‐Independent Vasodilation Is the Hallmark of the Neurally Mediated Syncope

Published: November 2011

AbstractBackground:The neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is sustained by complex cardiac and vascular reflexes, acting on and amplified by central autonomic loops, resulting in bradycardia and hypotension.Hypothesis:Our aim was to assess whether the pathophysiology of NMS is also related to an abnormal peripheral vasoreactivity.Methods:We evaluated by ultrasound the flow‐mediated vasodilation (FMD) and the nitrate‐mediated dilation (NMD) in 17 patients with NMS, induced by drug‐free tilt test in 6 subjects and by nitrate‐potentiated tilt test in the other 11 cases; the syncope was classified as vasodepressive (VD) in 8 cases, cardioinhibitory (CI) in 7, and mixed in 2.Results:The FMD was not different from controls (10.2 ± 4.5 vs 11.4 ± 3.9, P = ns), with normal recovery times; the NMD was greater in fainting subjects than in controls (26.7 ± 7.3 vs 19.0 ± 3.6, P < 0.05), with higher values in VD than in CI syncope (31.1 ± 7.0 vs 23.1 ± 5.0, P = ns); compared to controls, subjects with NMS showed normal recovery times after FMD but longer recovery times after nitrate administration (13.0 ± 5.6 vs 6.3 ± 0.7 minutes, P < 0.05).Conclusions:The evaluation of endothelial function supports evidence that NMS is characterized by a marked and sustained endothelial‐independent vasodilation, in the presence of a normal FMD; vascular hyperreactivity in response to nitrate administration is particularly overt in vasodepressive syncope and can explain the high rate of responses to nitrate administration during tilt test. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.The authors have no funding, financial relationships, or conflicts of interest to disclose.
