Objectives: The present randomized controlled study aimed to evaluate the effects of two interventions on emotional dysregulation as a primary outcome and on depression, anxiety, stress, well-being, self-compassion and emotional competencies as secondary outcomes. Finally, the mediating role of emotional dysregulation as a core process in the effect of interventions on anxiety-depressive and stress symptoms was evaluated.

Methods: One hundred and seventy-nine individuals aged 18-68 years (M = 39, SD = 12.

Poor glucose regulation associated with gradual insulin resistance is a significant risk factor in several age-related chronic diseases. An eating plan that promotes a lower carbohydrate intake may have a beneficial effect on glucose metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate how a diet reduced in carbohydrate by 32% (RCHO) over a 2 month period would influence the metabolic profile of older individuals ( = 24) living in a retirement home (RH).

Objective: Promoting health, and in particular developing psychosocial competences, at school encourages the emancipation of pupils and creates a favourable school environment. Furthermore, by helping to improve academic success, they improve pupils' overall health. However, school professionals need to be trained to develop students' psychosocial competences.

Article Synopsis
  • Child and youth mental health in France is now a key public health focus, emphasizing the role of social and emotional learning (SEL) in improving mental health among students.
  • Interventions in schools are increasing, but teachers currently lack effective training in implementing evidence-based SEL methods during their initial education.
  • The review highlights the positive impact of school-based SEL programs on mental health and academic performance, suggesting that teacher training and awareness of these benefits could enhance motivation and investment in SEL initiatives.

Background: In proteomics, the interpretation of mass spectra representing peptides carrying multiple complex modifications remains challenging, as it is difficult to strike a balance between reasonable execution time, a limited number of false positives, and a huge search space allowing any number of modifications without a priori. The scientific community needs new developments in this area to aid in the discovery of novel post-translational modifications that may play important roles in disease.

Results: To make progress on this issue, we implemented SpecGlobX (SpecGlob eXTended to eXperimental spectra), a standalone Java application that quickly determines the best spectral alignments of a (possibly very large) list of Peptide-to-Spectrum Matches (PSMs) provided by any open modification search method, or generated by the user.
