Tell Me about Loneliness: Interviews with Young People about What Loneliness Is and How to Cope with It.

Background: loneliness is a common experience for adolescents, yet the voices of adolescents are missing from current conceptualisations of loneliness. That means, measures that have been created based on current conceptualisations may miss important contexts of adolescence, such as the roles of friendships, that determine the way loneliness is experienced. The current study aims to centre adolescent voices to identify how they conceptualise loneliness and what strategies they consider to be useful for adolescents to cope with loneliness.

Continuing to Participate in the Dance of Life as Oneself: The Lived Experience of Meaning in Life for Older Adults With Alzheimer's Disease.

Background And Objectives: Meaning in life is an important aspect of positive psychological functioning for older adults. Limited work suggests the relevance of the experience of meaning for people with dementia, but research into this experience from their personal perspective is lacking. The current study provides an in-depth investigation of the lived experience of meaning in life for older adults with Alzheimer's disease.

[Forgiveness as a psychological resource in late life].

Late life is a period during which individuals are increasingly confronted with challenges and losses. These challenges can have a negative impact on late life functioning, which is often reflected in poor well-being or an increase in depressive feelings. Current research points out that positive psychological resources might enhance coping with late life stressors.

Precocious Downregulation of Krüppel-Homolog 1 in the Migratory Locust, , Gives Rise to An Adultoid Phenotype with Accelerated Ovarian Development but Disturbed Mating and Oviposition.

Krüppel-homolog 1 (Kr-h1) is a zinc finger transcription factor maintaining the status quo in immature insect stages and promoting reproduction in adult insects through the transduction of the Juvenile Hormone (JH) signal. Knockdown studies have shown that precocious silencing of in the immature stages results in the premature development of adult features. However, the molecular characteristics and reproductive potential of these premature adult insect stages are still poorly understood.

Sources of well-being for older adults with and without dementia in residential care: relations to presence of meaning and life satisfaction.

Objectives: To explore what sources of well-being are rated meaningful by older adults in residential care and how they are related to two important well-being outcomes.

Method: Two cross-sectional questionnaire studies were conducted in a sample of care residents without cognitive disability ( = 329) and with Alzheimer's disease ( = 104). Structural equation modelling was used to test a hypothesized and exploratory model of different sources as predictors of presence of meaning in life (POM) and satisfaction with life (SWL).
