This study experimentally examines the effect of smoking cues and disgust images commonly found in anti-tobacco advertisements on tobacco smokers' message processing. In a 2 (smoking cues) × 2 (disgust) within-subjects experiment, smokers watched anti-tobacco advertisements selected to vary in presence/absence of smoking cues and high/low ratings of disgust. The results of the experiment suggest that smoking cues and disgust images each have effects on resource allocation, recognition memory, emotional responses, smoking urges, and intentions to quit smoking. However, the most notable finding in this study was how the combination of smoking cues and disgust images in a single anti-tobacco message resulted in defensive message processing. Theoretical and applied implications of these findings are discussed along with future research directions.

Background And Aims: Fire-released seed dormancy (SD) is a key trait for successful germination and plant persistence in many fire-prone ecosystems. Many local studies have shown that fire-released SD depends on heat and exposure time, dose of smoke-derived compounds, SD class, plant lineage and the fire regime. However, a global quantitative analysis of fire-released SD is lacking.

Background: Participation in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) reduces risk of cardiovascular mortality, improves functional capacity and enhances quality of life in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). eHealth-based CR can increase participation rates, but research into effective components is necessary. The objective of this systematic review was to identify effective behavior change techniques (BCTs) used in eHealth-based CR interventions.

Article Synopsis
- Internet-based psychological interventions offer accessible mental health care, addressing barriers like distance, cost, and safety, but research on their effects on biomarkers is limited.
- This systematic review examines how these interventions impact biomarkers across various clinical and nonclinical populations, with a secondary focus on whether changes in biomarkers relate to improvements in psychological or physical symptoms.
- Out of 24 studies analyzed, a diverse range of participants included those with psychiatric issues, medical diseases, and nonclinical individuals, indicating some effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing certain biomarkers.
