Cell Phone Social Media Use and Psychological Well-Being in Young Adults: Implications for Internet-Related Disorders.

Internet-related disorders are on the rise and increasing cell phone social media use may be one of the reasons for these disorders. To better understand internet-related disorders, we aim to explore the psychological and social aspects of cell phone social media behaviors. We hypothesized that, according to humanistic theories of positive functioning, cell phone social media connectedness to self (engagement, interest, pleasure, sense of enjoyment, meaningfulness, purposefulness, optimism, acceptance, and feeling accomplished) would relate positively to psychological well-being of undergraduate students.

Cell phone use distracts young adults from academic work with limited benefit to self-regulatory behavior.

We aim to uncover theoretical mechanisms associated with potential negative (i.e., multitasking) and positive (i.

Sleep latency and sleep disturbances mediates the association between nighttime cell phone use and psychological well-being in college students.

Unlabelled: To examine sleep latency and sleep disturbance as mediators between nighttime cell phone use variables (cell phone use for unstructured leisure activities and for accessing emotionally charged media content before sleep: CPU_BeforeBed and CPU_Arousal) and psychological well-being (PWB) of college students. 521 (74% female) undergraduate students from a large public university were surveyed using a validated self-report quantitative questionnaire assessing CPU variables, sleep quality, and PWB. Pearson correlation analyses were used to compute the correlation between CPU_BeforeBed, CPU_Arousal, sleep latency, and sleep disturbance.

Nighttime cell phone use and sleep quality in young adults.

Young adults are particularly vulnerable to sleep disturbances related to their cell phone use (CPU). The purpose of this study was to test Sleep Displacement and Psychological Arousal theories of CPU-led sleep disruption in relation in a sample of university students. CPU for unstructured leisure activities before sleep (CPU_BeforeBed), as well as CPU for accessing explicit or emotionally charged media content before sleep (CPU_Arousal), were both measured.

Treatment of dermatophytosis by a new antifungal agent 'apigenin'.

Dermatophytes are the most common causative agents of cutaneous mycosis and remain a major public health problem in spite of the availability of an increasing number of antifungal drugs. It was, therefore considered necessary to pursue the screening of different extracts (compounds) of selected traditional medicinal plants reportedly having antidermatophyte potential. The aim of this study was to isolate and identify specific compound from the most active extract (free flavonoid) of stem of Terminalia chebula of the selected plants to treat dermatophytosis induced on experimental mice.

Green Synthesis of AgNPs Stabilized with biowaste and their antimicrobial activities.

In the present study, rapid reduction and stabilization of Ag+ ions with different NaOH molar concentration (0.5 mM, 1.0 mM and 1.

Topical Treatment of Dermatophytic Lesion on Mice (Mus musculus) Model.

Antidermatophytic potential of three weed plants viz. Tridax procumbens L., Capparis decidua (forsk) Edgew and Lantana camara L.

Testicular toxicity of chlorpyrifos (an organophosphate pesticide) in albino rat.

Organophosphates are among the most widely used synthetic insect pesticides. The widespread use of organophosphates has stimulated research into the possible existence of effects related with their reproductive toxic activity. Present study was therefore, undertaken to assess the effects of chlorpyrifos on testes, the main organ of male reproduction.

Influence of methyl parathion on reproductive parameters in male rats.

Exposure of human population to pesticides and industrial pollutants has considerably increased the risk of human health hazard. In the present study, therefore we have sought to investigate the toxic effects of Methyl Parathion on male reproductive system of rat. The tested dose was given orally to the rats for 30 days at the dose level of 30 mg/kg/day.
