This study aimed to test the association between peer attachment and aggressive behavior, as well as the mediating effect of regulatory emotional self-efficacy on this relationship. A total of 1171 (582 male, 589 female) Chinese adolescents completed self-reported questionnaires that assessed peer attachment, regulatory emotional self-efficacy, and aggressive behavior. Path analysis showed that the negative association between peer attachment and adolescent aggressive behavior was mediated by self-efficacy in managing negative emotions. However, the mediating effect of self-efficacy in expressing positive emotions was nonsignificant. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the indirect paths mentioned above between male and female respondents. These findings highlight self-efficacy in managing negative emotions as a potential mechanism linking peer attachment to adolescent aggressive behavior.

While studies from high-income countries have shown an association between adolescents' poor dietary habits and a lack of quality sleep, there is a dearth of similar data from developing nations. This study intends to investigate the relationship between the consumption of carbonated soft drinks and fast food and sleep disturbances linked to anxiety in school-going adolescents in Bangladesh. The data used for this study came from the 2014 Bangladesh Global School-based Health Survey.

Despite extensive literature examining intellectual property rights (IPRs) and access to health, there has been limited examination of how IPRs can potentially impact the development, access to, delivery of, and use of medical devices. This article fills this gap, focusing on patent and copyright protections applicable to elements of medical devices that are attachable to or implanted into the human body, such as prostheses or pacemakers. Although the human body itself is not patentable in Europe (Article 5, Biotechnology Directive), elements of medical devices created outside the body are patentable.

Introduction: Understanding factors that influence care service use is crucial for developing preventive strategies to maintain independence among older adults. In this study, we aimed to identify distinct trajectory groups of municipal care service use among community-dwelling older adults to determine whether daily physical activity is associated with future care service use.
Methods: This prospective cohort study included 981 community-dwelling older adults from the HUNT4 Trondheim 70+ study.
