The Day Reconstruction Method (DRM) assesses how people spend their time and how they experience the various activities and settings of their lives, combining features of time-budget measurement and experience sampling. Participants systematically reconstruct their activities and experiences of the preceding day with procedures designed to reduce recall biases. The DRM's utility is shown by documenting close correspondences between the DRM reports of 909 employed women and established results from experience sampling. An analysis of the hedonic treadmill shows the DRM's potential for well-being research.

Background: Genetic variation in the non-recombining part of the human Y chromosome has provided important insight into the paternal history of human populations. However, a significant and yet unexplained branch length variation of Y chromosome lineages has been observed, notably amongst those that are highly diverged from the human reference Y chromosome. Understanding the origin of this variation, which has previously been attributed to changes in generation time, mutation rate, or efficacy of selection, is important for accurately reconstructing human evolutionary and demographic history.

Background: Tooth extraction without socket preservation will lead to reduction in the dimensions and volume of the alveolar bone. Bone defects resulting from tooth extraction not only hinder prosthetic reconstruction but also present aesthetic issues and complicating dental implant treatment. Purple leaves contains flavonoids, steroids, tannins, saponins,and non-toxic alkaloids.

Background: The interdental papilla plays a crucial role in the esthetic of the smile. Papilla reconstruction surgery is one of the most unpredictable periodontal procedures. This study compared the effect of the non-surgical application of a commercial hyaluronic acid (HA) gel with an autogenous gel named "albumin with platelet-rich fibrin" (Alb-PRF) on interdental papilla reconstruction.
