PurposeThis study aimed to explore the effects of neural and muscular factors on lower limb explosive strength in male college sprinters, and build models based on those factors to identify the key neuromuscular factors that predict the rate of force development (RFD) and 30 m sprint time.Method15 male college sprinters were recruited in this study, with 100 m personal best times under 10.93 s. The neuromuscular data were collected by H-reflex and V-wave, isokinetic muscle strength, vertical jumps, and 30 m sprint tests. Pearson correlation and multiple stepwise regression were used for data analysis. The level of statistical significance was set at p ≤ 0.05 for all analyses.Results30 m sprint time had a significant moderate positive correlation with Achilles tendon stiffness (r = 0.50, p = 0.05, 95%CI: 0.01–0.81) and a significant moderate negative correlation with the H-index (r = −0.54, p = 0.04, 95%CI: 0.82 to −0.03), V wave (V/MmaxA, r = −0.59, p = 0.02, 95%CI: 0.85 to −0.11) and the eccentric strength of Hamstring (HECC, r = −0.53, p = 0.04, 95%CI: 0.82 to −0.03). The rate of force development (RFD) had a significant positive correlation with H reflex (Hmax/Mmax, r = 0.57, p = 0.03.95%CI:0.08–0.84), and the eccentric strength of Quadriceps (QECC, r = 0.53, p = 0.04, 95%CI: 0.02–0.82). V/MmaxA and HECC were identified as predictors of 30 m sprint time, and the R2 explained 57.5% of the variance. Vertical stiffness and QECC explained 82.7% of the variation in the RFD.ConclusionThis study found that V/MmaxA and HECC were predictive factors of 30 m sprint time, vertical stiffness and QECC were the predictive factors of RFD. Neural factors such as the α-motoneurons excitability of the spinal and supraspinal centers, have a greater influence on lower limb explosive strength in male college sprinters. Therefore, training related to the neural function of sprinters should be emphasized. In addition, H reflex and V wave can be used widely to assess and monitor the neural function of sprinters in future research. The impact of neural drive on muscles in different levels and sexes of sprinters, and the neuromuscular modulation during muscle contractions can be further explored.

IntroductionAccess to electric light has exposed living organisms to varying intensities of light throughout the 24 h day. Dim light at night (DLAN) is an inappropriate signal for the biological clock, which is responsible for the circadian organization of physiology. During the gestational period, physiological adaptations occur to ensure a successful pregnancy and optimal fetal development. Environmental maternal conditions, such as disruptions of maternal circadian rhythms, could negatively affect offspring health. We have previously demonstrated that exposure of female Wistar rats to DLAN results in circadian, metabolic, and behavioral alterations. A relevant behavior during adolescence is social play, primarily regulated by the nucleus accumbens (NAc) which is crucial for the proper performance of important behaviors in adulthood. Throughout development, microglia are responsible for the remodeling of diverse brain regions via synaptic pruning. During adolescence, this process occurs within the NAc, where immune-mediated remodeling directly impacts social play behavior.MethodsThis study investigated the effects of maternal exposure to DLAN or a light-dark cycle (LD) before (5 weeks) and during the gestational period (21–23 days) on the metabolism and behavior of offspring in adolescence and adulthood. Body mass was measured every 5 days from postnatal day 1 (PN1) to PN25 and every 10 days from PN40 to PN90; food consumption was monitored weekly from PN40 to PN90. Social play behavior was evaluated at PN40. The quantification and morphology of microglia in the NAc were measured on PN30. An open field test was conducted at PN60, and anhedonia test was assessed at PN90.Results and discussion Male and female offspring from mothers exposed to DLAN showed increased body mass gain at PN25. DLAN male offspring had lower food consumption, while DLAN females exhibited increased food consumption. In social play behavior, no differences were found between DLAN and LD female offspring. In contrast, DLAN male offspring exhibited a significant decrease in social play behavior compared to LD animals, which was associated with higher numbers of microglia in the NAc that had more ramified morphology. Importantly, at PN90, DLAN offspring presented increased anxiety-like behaviors. These results demonstrate that DLAN exposure induces intergenerational behavioral alterations that persist until adulthood.

IntroductionBryophytes are non-vascular plants that appeared on Earth before vascular plants. More than 24,000 species are reported worldwide, and only a small proportion have been studied. However, part of their biosynthetic potential has been unveiled and more than 1,600 terpenoids have been detected and identified. The study of bryophytes faces challenges due to their small size, and sociology, making it difficult to collect large amounts of uncontaminated samples. Additionally, their chemical specificity and the scarcity of chemical data specific to this branch further complicate their study. Traditionally, research on bryophytes has focused only on specific species or classes of compounds. MethodsIn contrast, our work proposes the first untargeted metabolite profiling investigation of a large collection of bryophytes (63 species) mainly issued from Corsican biodiversity. Metabolite profiling was performed by UHPLC-HRMS/MS and the data was extensively annotated using computational tools and molecular networking. This allowed us to describe in detail the chemical space covered by our collection and to establish comparisons between all the moss and liverwort species available. To validate some of the structural annotations, 3 liverworts (Frullania tamarisci, Pellia epiphylla, Plagiochila porelloides) and 2 mosses (Antitrichia curtipendula and Dicranum scoparium), available in larger quantities were fractionated using high-resolution semi-preparative HPLC, yielding 20 pure compounds. Five of them were newly discovered.Results and discussionThis study highlights the main compositional differences between mosses and liverworts at the chemical class level. By analyzing given molecular network clusters, specific biosynthetic features or compounds that are characteristic of certain species are highlighted and discussed in detail.

IntroductionA limited number of studies have explored the connection between eco-anxiety, anxiety, and depression in adolescents. However, the relation between eco-anxiety and suicide remains unexamined. This cross-sectional observational study aims to bridge this gap by investigating the correlation between eco-anxiety intensity and suicide risk severity in adolescents.MethodsWe used validated French versions of the Climate Anxiety Scale (CAS) and its two key dimensions (cognitive and emotional and functional impairments), alongside the Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale (HAD).ResultsOur study involved 87 hospitalized adolescent patients, aged 12–16. Although, the univariate model indicated a significant association between the CAS and the C-SSRS (β = 2.58; p = 0.049), the cognitive/emotional difficulties and functional impairment dimensions of eco-anxiety, considering different confounding factors, did not show statistical associations with the severity of suicide risk (respectively, p = 0.81 and p = 0.76).DiscussionIn an expansive literature, these results show for the first time that eco-anxiety may not be the priority of adolescents seen by adolescent psychiatrists. Such an observation would imply not overmedicalizing a dimension of life which perhaps does not fall solely within the field of medicine, but which concerns environmental issues broader than medical field. However, an ethical and prudent approach in mental health care for this particularly fragile population remains necessary. This intersection of eco-anxiety and suicide in youth opens up new avenues of research in the realm of environmental and mental health studies.

IntroductionSuicide attempt in adolescents is a concern topic that differs greatly between countries because of its cultural specificity. This article reported on the possibility of reducing the risk of suicide attempts in adolescents by practicing Confucian philosophy.MethodsIn this study, Confucian philosophy is approached as an educational philosophy applied in clinical practice on 12 adolescents who used to attempt suicide. Using a phenomenological study design, we interviewed the selected participants to describe themes surrounding the impact of practicing Confucian philosophy on cognition, emotions, and behaviors related to suicide attempts.ResultsFrom this framework, we explored the three main findings, which described the journey of reconnecting and repairing family relationships fractured by the negative influence of remnants of Vietnamese Confucianism families. The conservatism and remnants of traditional Confucianism have influenced how Vietnamese parents raise their children, leading to increased risks of suicide as adolescents.DiscussionThe discovered themes greatly contribute to the process of clinical intervention for adolescents who have attempted suicide in countries with similar cultures to Vietnam, or accepted Confucianism as a neutral approach. Above all, the self-nurture and neutral lifestyle were resources that helped the adolescents cope better with their personal problems after participating in this study.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionAdverse and destructive situations can have a significant and long-lasting impact on organizational members, resulting in considerable disruption to organizational functioning. The occurrence of negative or traumatic events in organizations can be attributed to a range of factors, including natural adversities, as well as intentional or human-induced crises. The concept of organizational healing encompasses both the processes that enable an organization to regain functionality following adversity and the strategies that facilitate enhanced performance in the period following trauma or harm. Recent advances have highlighted the topic of organizational healing, particularly in relation to how organizations can recover from significant traumatic events and return to their pre-disaster state. This study aimed to develop the Organizational Healing Scale by verifying its reliability and validity.MethodsThe item pool for the organizational healing scale was developed with the objective of ensuring its applicability for researchers and participants by adhering to the principles of scientific rigor and practicality. In this context, an item pool of 32 items was created. To ensure construct validity, EFA and CFA were conducted, and for content and face validity, expert opinion was consulted. Validity was also ensured through convergent and discriminant validity. Reliability was tested using Cronbach's alpha coefficient value.ResultsThe two components (individual priority, organizational priority) identified through EFA as contributing to the construct validity of the scale were subsequently confirmed by CFA. The fit indices for the scale were at satisfactory level. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient value demonstrated that both components were reliable.DiscussionA review of the results indicated that the organizational healing scale is a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the healing levels of organizations with respect to the component under consideration.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to clarify the subgroups of career calling among Chinese nurses, explore the factors correlated with the subgroups, and investigate the relationship between nurse safety behavior and different profiles of career calling.MethodsA cross-sectional study of 2,567 nurses from 25 hospitals in China was conducted from February to September 2023. A latent profile model of nurses’ career calling was analyzed using Mplus 7.4. The influencing factors of each profile were analyzed by multinomial logistic regression analysis. The hierarchical regression analysis was used to examine the relationship between nurse safety behavior and different profiles of career calling. The STROBE guidelines were followed in this research.ResultsThree distinct latent profiles were identified: “low-calling” type (12.4%), “medium-calling” type (54.4%), and “high-calling” type (33.2%) groups, respectively. Gender and number of night shifts per month were identified as factors influencing the latent profiles of nurses’ career calling. The different categories of career calling significantly predicted the nurse safety behavior (ΔR2 = 0.307, p &lt; 0.001).ConclusionThis study suggests that nurses experience different types of career calling. The different categories of career calling are significantly associated with the nurse safety behavior. Consequently, administrators should pay attention to the differences in individual career calling and develop targeted intervention strategies to facilitate nurses’ career calling based on the influences of the different underlying profiles and develop enhancement strategies to strengthen nurses’ safety behaviors to ensure patient safety.

BackgroundA significant proportion of mental health care professionals (MHCPs) hold stigmatizing attitudes about their patients. When patients perceive and internalize these beliefs, self-stigmatization can increase. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may decrease stigmatizing attitudes by changing the ‘us’ versus ‘them’ thinking into continuum beliefs. In the present study MHCPs were given an ACT-based training, aiming to decrease stigmatization, hypothesizing that self-stigmatization of their patients will subsequently decrease.MethodsAn RCT with a 2 (pre-test/post-test) x 2 (no training/training) design was conducted. A total of 41 MHCPs participated, 20 were randomized to the experimental and 21 to the control condition respectively. The MHCPs in the experimental condition received an ACT-based training, MHCPs in the control condition received no training. From every MHCP, one of their patients participated in the pre- and post-measurement. As the primary outcome, patients’ awareness, agreement, application and hurt-self, was measured using the Self Stigma of Mental Illness Scale - Short Form (SSMIS-SF), before and after the MHCPs’ ACT-based training.ResultsSignificant group x time interaction effects were found for ‘application’ (internalization of mental illness stereotypes) in patients after the ACT-based training of their MHCP: F (1,39) = 9.33, p &lt; 0.01, ηp2 = .85. On the contrary, no effect was found on the subscales ‘awareness’, ‘agreement’ and ‘hurt-self’.ConclusionPreliminary results suggest that a brief ACT training for MHCP might heighten their awareness and contribute to reduction of their stigmatizing attitudes and behavior, leading to less application of self-stigmatizing beliefs in their patients.

Published: January 2025

IntroductionCannabis use and misuse are surging among the Chinese community in East and Southeast Asia. A quick screening instrument that can effectively identify users with dependence for early intervention is in utmost need. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Severity of Dependence Scale for cannabis (C-SDS-C) in screening for the DSM-5 defined Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD).MethodsA retrospective chart review was conducted on Chinese-speaking individuals reporting cannabis use from three different substance use studies. Their demographic data, frequency of cannabis use within the past 30 days, scorings for the C-SDS-C and the severity of CUD at baseline were analyzed.ResultsThe C-SDS-C exhibited high reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.778). It had a strong correlation with the severity of CUD (r = 0.456, p &lt;.001) and a moderate correlation with the frequency of cannabis use within the past 30 days (r = 0.335, p = .001). All items loaded into a single factor which accounted for 56.64% of the variance. Receiver operating characteristic analysis demonstrated that a C-SDS-C cut-off score of ≥ 3 provided optimal discrimination for moderate to severe CUD among Chinese-speaking individuals using cannabis.ConclusionThe C-SDS-C is a valid and reliable screening instrument to identify cannabis users with moderate-to-severe CUD in the Chinese-speaking population.

BackgroundWith the accelerated increase in the population of seniors aged 60 years or older in Saudi Arabia, understanding the utilization of senior residential care homes is crucial for improving service delivery and policy planning to meet the care transformation objectives of Vision 2030.ObjectiveTo assess the distribution and determinants of senior residential care home utilization across Saudi Arabia’s 13 administrative regions, focusing on predictors of functional dependency among different socio-demographic groups.MethodsThis study analyzed data from 283 Saudi individuals aged ≥65 admitted to social residential care homes in 2021. Variables included age, sex, education level, marital status, region, and reasons for service use. Statistical analyses comprised descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and multivariable logistic regression.ResultsThe Makkah region had the highest number of senior residential care home users (56.8%; p &lt; 0.0001). Most participants were men (67.8%), while women constituted 32.2%. The mean age was 78.9 years (SD = 10.6), with women being significantly older than men (p = 0.014). Illiteracy was prevalent (73.5%), particularly among women (82.4% vs. 69.3% for men; p = 0.006). Most participants were divorced (68.2%), with higher rates among men (84.9% vs. 33% for women; p &lt; 0.0001). The primary reasons for utilizing residential care home services were old age and functional dependency (88.5% of men and 83.4% of women). Multivariable logistic regression indicated that being in the age group 75–84 years (odds ratio [OR] = 1.62, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.02–1.81, p &lt; 0.001), 85 years and above (OR = 2.63, 95% CI = 1.28–3.11, p &lt; 0.001), and being single (OR = 2.43, 95% CI = 1.14–5.13, p = 0.019) were significant predictors of old age and functional dependency.ConclusionThe study highlights regional and socio-demographic variations in senior residential care home service utilization in Saudi Arabia, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions and policies aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 to enhance service accessibility and effectiveness for the aging population.

IntroductionThis study aimed to systematically review the effects of different physical activity programs on the fundamental movement skills of 3 - 7-year-old children.MethodsFor this review, the databases of CNKI, Web of Science, and PubMed were searched to collect relevant literature on the effects of different physical activity program interventions on fundamental movement skills, and a total of 10 articles with 1,121 subjects were included. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to assess the quality of the literature, and meta-analysis was performed using Review Manager 5.4 software.ResultsPhysical activity significantly influenced children’s running ability, horizontal jump, dribbling the ball, kicking ability, catching ability, overhand throwing, striking a stationary ball, and dynamic balance. However, the intervention effect was insignificant for the hop and underhand throwing abilities. The intervention effects for running ability, horizontal jump, kicking ability, and catching ability were better at less than 12 weeks than at 12 weeks and above. In addition, an intervention duration of 90 min or more was better than less than 90 min for running ability and horizontal jump.ConclusionFuture research is recommended to focus on the common factors of the intervention effects of physical activity programs to develop more precise and effective intervention practices to further improve children’s fundamental movement skill levels.
