Beneficios psicologicos de la actividad fisica en el trabajo de un centro educativo (Psychological benefits of physical activity in an educational center work)

El presente estudio tuvo el objetivo de describir los factores psicologicos de la practica de la actividad fisica en el ambito laboral, caracterizando la percepcion de los beneficios psicologicos de la actividad fisica en el trabajo. Utilizando un Cuestionario de datos socio demograficos y deportivos; la Escala de Disfrute de la Actividad Fisica (PACES: Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale) y la Escala de Beneficios Psicologicos de la Actividad Fisica y Deportiva (EBEPAFyD) mediante el metodo de encuesta, se analizaron las variables sociodemograficas y de actividad fisica, el grado de frecuencia percibido sobre los beneficios psicologicos y la respuesta actitudinal del disfrute hacia la experiencia de la practica de la actividad fisica enfocada al rendimiento y a la calidad de vida laboral, aplicandose a 37 trabajadores de un Centro de Educacion Integral. Los resultados indican que a pesar de que es una poblacion sedentaria, existen respuestas actitudinales en niveles positivos de disfrute, gusto, agrado, diversion, energia y sensacion de bienestar corporal proporcionados por la practica de la actividad fisica. Entre las principales conclusiones se destaca que a nivel cognitivo afectivo aumentan las percepciones positivas sobre los beneficios psicologicos: mejora la autoestima; la percepcion corporal; la sensacion saludable; y los niveles de activacion. Asi mismo, se percibe disminucion del estres, de la tension nerviosa, de la depresion y el cansancio.  This study aims to describe the psychological factors of physical activity practice at workplace, characterizing the perception of psychological benefits of physical activity at work. We used a socio demographic and sports questionnaire data; the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) and the Scale of Psychological Benefits of Physical Activity and Sport (EBEPAFyD) were applied. We used the survey method to analyze sociodemographic and physical activity variables, perceived frequency degree of psychological benefits, and behavioral response of enjoyment of the experience of physical activity practice, focusing on performance and quality of working life. Surveys were applied to 37 workers of a Centre for Integral Education. Results indicate that although this sample is sedentary, there are positive attitudinal responses of enjoyment, pleasure, fun, energy, and sense of physical well being provided by practicing physical activity. Among the key findings, we can highlight an increase of positive perceptions about the psychological benefits at a cognitive affective level: improved self esteem; body perception; healthy feeling; and activation levels. At the same time, results show perceived decreased stress, depression and fatigue.
Mine water: policy perspective for improving water management in the mining environment with respect to developing economies

Mine water is a resource and potential nuisance at the same time and its management is a major challenge for the worldwide mining industry. Its quality and quantity relates to the ore and mining type, and might result in environmental pollution if not properly used or managed. The entire water management and conservation needs to be addressed by all stakeholders involved and it has to be a bottom up, rather than a top down approach, taking into consideration site specific conditions. We propose that some key policy areas, if implemented into practice, will provide direct benefits to mine operators and consequently mine water management can be improved at different levels. In the future, the concerns of the community and social welfare must not be ignored for any reason whatsoever. This technical analysis therefore stresses upon results oriented pragmatic efforts for mine water resources development and management, which gives direction to green mining and sustainable development of mining areas. Best Practice Water Management and Intelligent Mine Water Management can be considered the best solution, maintaining an acceptable standard of living now and in the future. This paper, meant for the benefits of the mining industry of developing countries in particular, discusses key mine water areas in a policy perspective. To obtain satisfying environmental protection, mine water management should be jointly enforced by the industry, regulators and stakeholders.
Implementing sustainable drainage systems for urban surface water management within the regulatory framework in England and Wales.
Venue: Journal of environmental management

The UK 2007 floods resulted in damages estimated to exceed over PS4 billion. This triggered a national review of strategic flood risk management (Pitt, 2008) with its recommendations informing and implemented by the Flood and Water Management, Act (FWMA, 2010) Estimating that up to two thirds of properties flooded in the 2007 event as a direct result of overloaded sewer systems, the FWMA set out an ambitious overhaul of flood risk management approaches including identifying bodies responsible for the management of local flood risk (local municipalities) and the development of over arching Lead Local Flood Authorities (LLFAs) at a regional level. LLFAs duties include developing local flood risk management strategies and, aligned with this, many LLFAs and local municipalities produced sustainable drainage system (SUDS) guidance notes. In parallel, changes to the national planning policy framework (NPPF) in England give priority to the use of SUDS in new major developments, as does the related Town and Country Planning Order (2015) However, whilst all three pieces of legislation refer to the preferential use of SUDs, these requirements remain "economically proportionate" and thus the inclusion of SUDS within development controls remain desirable but not mandatory obligations. Within this dynamic policy context, reignited most recently by the December 2015 floods, this paper examines some of the challenges to the implementation of SUDS in England and Wales posed by the new regulatory frameworks. In particular, it examines how emerging organisational procedures and processes are likely to impact on future SUDS implementation, and highlights the need for further cross sectoral working to ensure opportunities for cross sectoral benefits such as that accrued by reducing stormwater flows within combined sewer systems for water companies, property developers and environmental protection are not lost.
Developing a framework for supporting the implementation of integrated water resource management (IWRM) with a decoupling strategy

The rise of integrated water resources management (IWRM) in the global water policy discourse marks a fundamental shift in water management from the techno centric, top down, supply oriented and sectoral approach towards a holistic, participatory and demand driven approach to sustainable water management. The IWRM concept has become dominant, permeating national, regional and international water policies, backed by heavy investments and advocacy by key global actors such as the World Bank and European Union. However, its implementation success remains unimpressive, amidst strong criticisms about its conceptual clarity. More recently, the decoupling concept spearheaded by the United Nations Environment Programme and Organisation for Economic Co operation and Development is gaining momentum as an alternative approach for sustainable water management. This paper reviews the two concepts both acclaimed for organizing knowledge production for sustainability. The paper examines the underlying factors that limit IWRM implementation and assesses the potentials of addressing the inadequacies of IWRM with the decoupling concept. IWRM as a process lacks a clearly defined strategy, standard measures to track the success of IWRM plans and guidance for planning and project development, while decoupling offers a viable strategy that feeds into the implementation of IWRM plan, providing strategic and operational direction towards achieving sustainability goals.
Mechanism of Hydrogen Evolution Reaction on 1T MoS2 from First Principles

The 1T phase of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) has been demonstrated in recent experiments to display excellent catalytic activity for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) but the catalytic mechanism has not been elucidated so far. Herein, using 1T MoS2 as the prototypical TMD material, we studied the HER activity on its basal plane from periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Compared to the nonreactive basal plane of 2H phase MoS2, the catalytic activity of the basal plane of 1T phase MoS2 mainly arises from its affinity for binding H at the surface S sites. Using the binding free energy (DGH) of H as the descriptor, we found that the optimum evolution of H2 will proceed at surface H coverage of 12.5% 25% Within this coverage, we examined the reaction energy and barrier for the three elementary steps of the HER process. The Volmer step was found to be facile, whereas the subsequent Heyrovsky reaction is kinetically more favorable than the Tafel reaction. Our results suggest that.
Nickel sulfides for electrocatalytic hydrogen evolution under alkaline conditions: a case study of crystalline NiS, NiS2, and Ni3S2 nanoparticles

Electrocatalytic water splitting to produce H2 plays an important role in the capture, conversion, and storage of renewable energy sources, such as solar energy and wind power. As the reductive half reaction of water splitting, H2 evolution reaction (HER) suffers from sluggish kinetics, and hence competent HER catalysts are needed. Despite being excellent HER catalysts, noble metal based catalysts (i.e. Pt) are too expensive to be economically competitive. Therefore, low cost catalysts composed of solely earth abundant elements have attracted increasing attention these years, among which nickel based HER catalysts, particularly nickel chalcogenides, are considered as promising candidates. Although many nickel chalcogenides, including NiS, NiS2, and Ni3S2, have been reported for hydrogen evolution, their intrinsic catalytic activities have never been investigated and compared in detail under the same conditions. Most of the previous investigations were limited to only one species of nickel chalcogenides under very unique conditions, rendering a fair comparison of their HER activities impossible. Herein, we report the preparation and characterization of three crystalline nickel sulfides, NiS, NiS2, and Ni3S2, with comparable crystal sizes and specific surface areas. Detailed electrochemical studies under strongly alkaline conditions coupled with theoretical computations were performed to probe their intrinsic HER activities, resulting in the order of Ni3S2 NiS2 NiS. The superior HER performance of Ni3S2 mainly stems from the combined effect of large electrochemically active surface area and high conductivity (metallic conductor vs. semiconductor)
Obstetric and perinatal outcomes after either fresh or thawed frozen embryo transfer: an analysis of 112,432 singleton pregnancies recorded in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority anonymized dataset.
Venue: Fertility and sterility

To explore obstetric and perinatal outcomes in singleton pregnancies occurring as a result of fresh and thawed frozen embryo transfer using anonymized Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority data.  Retrospective cohort study.  Not applicable.  Singleton births after IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection cycles in the United Kingdom (1991 2011) INTERVENTION(S) A total of 112,432 cycles (95,911 fresh and 16,521 frozen) were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression to explore associations between type of embryo transferred (frozen vs. fresh) and obstetric and perinatal outcomes. Relative risks (RRs) and their 99.5% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Stata 14 MP, adjusting for potential confounders.  Birth weight. RESULT(S) The adjusted RR (99.5% CI) of low birth weight [0.73 (0.66 0.80) and very low birth weight [0.78 (0.63 0.96) were all lower after frozen embryo transfer; however, RR of having a high birth weight baby was higher [1.64 (1.53 1.76) There was no difference in RR of preterm birth [0.96 (0.88 1.03) very preterm birth [0.86 (0.70 1.05) and congenital anomalies [0.86 (0.73 1.01) CONCLUSION(S) The findings of low birth and very low birth weight after thawed frozen embryo transfer are consistent with the literature and provide reassurance regarding the outcome of pregnancies after frozen embryo transfers. However, they highlight the possibility of high birth weight in these babies. Because these results are based on observational data, further evidence from randomized, controlled trials is needed before elective cryopreservation of all embryos is practiced in preference to the current practice of transfer of fresh embryos.
Relations between Parenting Stress, Parenting Style, and Child Executive Functioning for Children with ADHD or Autism

Relations among parenting stress, parenting style, and child executive functioning for children with disabilities are not easily teased apart. The current study explored these relations among 82 children and adolescents age 7 18: 21 with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, 33 with autism spectrum disorder, and 28 typically developing. Results indicated that children with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or autism spectrum disorder had more executive functioning deficits, and their parents reported more parenting stress and a greater use of permissive parenting, compared to typically developing children. In general, increased parenting stress was associated with greater use of authoritarian and permissive parenting styles, as well as more problems with behavior regulation for children. Authoritarian and permissive parenting styles were associated with poorer child executive functioning. Child diagnostic group (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, typically developing) moderated relations between parent stress and child functioning, and between parenting style and child functioning. Implications for intervention with families of children with disabilities are discussed.
Parenting Style as an Investment in Human Development

We propose a household production function approach to human development in which the role of parenting style in child rearing is explicitly considered. Specifically, we model parenting style as an investment in human development that depends not only on inputs of time and market goods, but also on attention, i.e. cognitive effort. Socioeconomic disadvantage is linked to parenting style and human development through the constraints that it places on cognitive capacity. Our model finds empirical support. We demonstrate that parenting style is a construct that is distinct from standard goods and time intensive parental investments and that effective parenting styles are negatively correlated with socioeconomic disadvantage. Moreover, parenting style is an important determinant of young adult's human capital net of other parental investments.
Differences in Perceived Parenting Style Between Mothers and Fathers: Implications for Child Outcomes and Marital Conflict

The current study focused on relations between maternal and paternal perceived parenting style, marital conflict, and child behavior outcomes. Child participants (N 152) ranged in age from 3 to 9 years old. Reports from both parents on perceived parenting style, marital conflict, and child behavior problems were collected. Results indicated that (a) parenting styles of mothers and fathers were related, (b) mothers' and fathers' authoritarianism and permissiveness were associated with increased child internalizing and externalizing behavior problems, (c) marital conflict was significantly related to child behavior problems, (d) when mother and father reported parenting styles differed, increased marital conflict was reported, (e) increased differences between mothers and fathers in self and spouse perceived permissiveness were related to increased child externalizing behavior problems, and (f) the direction of the differences between parents (i.e. whether a particular parent reported being more permissive than the other) was linked with marital conflict and child behavior problems. Namely, marital and child outcomes were poorer when mothers saw themselves as more authoritative than fathers and when fathers were more authoritarian than mothers, and outcomes were better when fathers saw themselves as more permissive than mothers and when mothers were more authoritarian than fathers. Implications for marital and family therapy are discussed.
Who overuses Smartphones? Roles of virtues and parenting style in Smartphone addiction among Chinese college students
Venue: Comput. Hum. Behav.

Several empirical studies have linked negative parenting style (i.e. parental rejection and overprotection) with a higher degree of Smartphone addiction. However, few studies have analyzed the potential protective factors (e.g. virtues) that may prevent addiction and promote effective Smartphone addiction interventions. Therefore, we examined if virtues (i.e. relationship, vitality, and conscientiousness) mediated the association between parenting style and Smartphone addiction among college students. Moreover, we examined whether these relationships were moderated by gender. Chinese college students (N=742) ages 1625 years completed the: 1) short Egna Minnen av Barndoms Uppfostran Chinese measure of parenting style, 2) 96 item Chinese Virtues Questionnaire, and the 3) Mobile Phone Addiction Index of Smartphone addiction. The results showed that negative parenting style significantly influenced college students' Smartphone addiction. Furthermore, virtues acted as a cognitive mechanism that mediated the association between negative parenting style and Smartphone addiction. Moreover, male virtues may be more sensitive to negative parenting style than female virtues. Relevant suggestions for college administrators, educators, parents, and future researchers are offered. Negative parenting style could directly predict the severity of Smartphone addiction.Parenting style has influence on college students' virtues.Virtues could negatively predict Smartphone addiction.Virtues mediated the association between negative parenting style and Smartphone addiction.Male virtues were more sensitive to negative parenting style than female virtues.
Influence of Parenting Style on Children's Behaviour.

This research determined the influence of parents and their parenting styles on children's behavior. The author examined different parenting styles to understand which style leads the children to be juvenile delinquent, that ultimately makes the children low academic achievers. In this paper, the researcher attempts to bring an original contribution through the identification of what is missing in the literature thus offering recommendations for future research on the role of parents in shaping the future of their children. Much research has been done on the role of parents in shaping the future of their children; however, more comprehensive research needs to be conducted on the role of parents and different parenting styles on their children's behavior. A qualitative paradigm was preffered using in depth interviews with two mothers of children with delinquent behavior. The findings revealed that authoritarian parenting style leads the children to become rebellious and adopt problematic behavior due tomore than necessary power exercised on children by parents. In contrast, authoritative parenting style is effective for children, as it encourages moderate parenting style. There is a demonstrated need reported in the literature that parents who spend maximum time with their children reduce the probability of developing delinquent behavior among their children. Spending more time together with the adolescents reciprocate through
Discovery and characterization of a novel series of N phenylsulfonyl 1H pyrrole picolinamides as positive allosteric modulators of the metabotropic glutamate receptor 4 (mGlu4)
Venue: Bioorganic medicinal chemistry letters

Herein we report the synthesis and characterization of a novel series of N phenylsulfonyl 1H pyrrole picolinamides as novel positive allosteric modulators of mGlu4. We detail our work towards finding phenyl replacements for the core scaffold of previously reported phenyl sulfonamides and phenyl sulfone compounds. Our efforts culminated in the identification of N (1 (3,4 dimethylphenyl)sulfonyl) 1H pyrrol 3 yl)picolinamide as a potent PAM of mGlu4.
Stand density and species richness affect carbon storage and net primary productivity in early and late successional temperate forests differently
Venue: Ecological Research

How stand density and species richness affect carbon (C) storage and net primary productivity (NPP) changes with forest succession is poorly understood. We quantified the C storage of trees and the aboveground NPP in an early successional secondary birch forest (birch forest) and a late successional mixed broadleaf Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis) forest (mixed forest) in northeastern China. We found that: 1) tree C storage in the mixed forest (120.3 Mg C ha 1) was significantly higher than that in the birch forest (78.5 Mg C ha 1) whereas the aboveground NPP was not different between the two forest types; and 2) only stand density had a positive linear relationship with tree C storage and aboveground NPP in the birch forest. In the mixed forest, both tree C storage and aboveground NPP were significantly affected by the combination of the stand density and species richness. The tree C storage to stand density and species richness relationships were hump shaped. The aboveground NPP increased with increasing stand density, but its relationship to species richness was hump shaped. We conclude that the effect of stand density and species richness on tree C storage and aboveground NPP was influenced by forest stand succession, and such effects should be considered in studying stand density and species richness ecosystem function (e.g. C storage and NPP) relationships in temperate forest ecosystems.
Mutations in eight small DFNB genes are not a frequent cause of non syndromic hereditary hearing loss in Czech patients.
Venue: International journal of pediatric otorhinolaryngology

To evaluate the contribution of eight small NSHL AR (non syndromic deafness, autosomal recessive) genes to hereditary hearing loss in Czech patients.  Unrelated Czech patients, adults and children, diagnosed with pre lingual hereditary hearing loss with at least one similarly affected deaf sibling and with previously excluded mutations in the GJB2 gene were investigated by Sanger sequencing of the selected eight small NSHL AR associated genes (CABP2 51 patients, CIB2 45 patients, PJVK/DFNB59 53 patients, GJB3 46 patients, ILDR1 48 patients, LHFPL5 66 patients, LRTOMT 60 patients, TMIE 64 patients)  Mutations were detected in the LHFPL5 (DFNB67) gene. The patient is heterozygote for two already described pathogenic variants (p.Tyr127Cys, p.Thr165Met) In five samples, five rare heterozygous variants (two novel) predicted as pathogenic were detected in genes CABP2, ILDR1, LHFPL5 and LRTOMT.  Mutations in eight small NSHL AR genes are not a frequent cause of hereditary hearing loss in the Czech Republic. This diagnostic approach permitted the clarification of HL in only one patient two heterozygous mutations were detected in LHFPL5 gene for the first time in Central Europe. As the use of panel base MPS certainly improves the diagnostic yield, future studies should rather profit from that diagnostic strategy.
