Unlocking emotional well-being: Evaluation of a stress mindset intervention with a metacognitive approach.

Although there is a growing body of research on the effects of a stress mindset on health and well-being, knowledge of the effectiveness of stress mindset interventions in real-world situations is limited and primarily supported by evidence from Western cultural contexts. We examined the effects of a stress mindset intervention with a metacognitive approach on emotional well-being (negative affect, positive affect, anxious affect, and life satisfaction) over 4 months (i.e.

Activin β Is Critical for Larval-Pupal Transition in the 28 Spotted Lady Beetle Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata.

The activin cascade is activated when a pair of extracellular ligand (Myoglianin, Myo; Activin β, Actβ; Dawdle, Daw) binds to two pairs of transforming growth factor β (TGF) serine-threonine receptor kinases, TGF-β type I (Baboon, Babo) and II receptors. However, the roles of activin way have not well been explored in non-Drosophilid insects. In the present paper, we compared the functions of Activin β (Actβ) ligand and receptor isoform BaboB in post-embryonic development in a defoliating ladybird Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata.

Characteristics of tongue coating microbiota in diabetic and non-diabetic kidney patients receiving hemodialysis.

Background: Tongue-coating microbiota, especially known as the tongue microbiome, holds significant value as both a prospective clinical diagnostic biomarker and therapeutic target, which plays a crucial role in the oral microecological health. However, there is limited understanding of the composition and function of tongue coating microbiota in chronic kidney disease patients undergoing hemodialysis.

Methods: Thirty-one non-diabetic hemodialysis patients (nonDM_HD), 29 diabetic hemodialysis patients (DM_HD) and 33 healthy controls (HC) were enrolled.

Study on the performance and mechanism of graphene oxide / polyurethane composite modified asphalt.

In order to enhance the aging resistance, high temperature stability and low temperature crack resistance of asphalt pavement materials, 0.06% oxidized graphene (GO) and 12% polyurethane (PU) were used as composite modifiers to modify the base asphalt. The RTFOT test was conducted to evaluate the anti-aging performance of the modified asphalt.

Efficient Capture of ReO4- from Water by Imidazolium-Based Cationic Polymeric Nanotraps.

Rhenium represents an irreplaceable metal resource, which finds extensive applications in diverse fields, particularly in the aerospace and petrochemical industry. However, its remarkably low natural abundance and the lack of independent ore deposits pose significant challenges to its extraction and recovery processes. In this study, we present the highly efficient adsorption of perrhenate by a cationic polymeric nanotrap material, namely CPN-3VIm.
