Co-rumination and Immune Inflammatory Response in Healthy Young Adults: Associations with Interleukin-6 and C-Reactive Protein

A rich literature exists reinforcing the notion that both perceived and received social support has stress ameliorating and protective benefits both psychologically and physiologically. However, recent literature suggests that excessive dyadic negative problem talk about an issue, a phenomenon labeled co-rumination, may reverse much of the beneficial effects of social support. Healthy young adults participated in a laboratory research study exploring the associations between co-rumination and immune system inflammatory response. Partial correlations indicated a positive association between co-rumination and C-reactive protein and a negative association between co-rumination and interleukin-6 after controlling for stress, anxiety, and temperature. Discussion focuses on the means by which co-rumination may lead to negative health outcomes.     

Classroom Learning Environment, Brain Research and The No Child Left Behind Initiative: 6?years Later

Six years have gone by since the passing of No Child Left Behind (2002) and due to the ‘high-stake’ riders attached to this legislation, educators at all levels have found themselves in a state of both emotional and cognitive dissonance. Recent research in the field of neuroscience combined with principles gained from constructivism support the importance of developing and implementing both a child-centered curriculum and a positive learning environment that is appropriate for young children. This paper addresses some of the difficulties that arise from the No Child Left Behind act and teaching from a constructivist model. Additionally, positive suggestions are provided for the early childhood educator in order to support current teaching philosophies despite the pressures of high-stakes testing.

Prediction of stress levels in the workplace using surrounding stress

Occupational stress has a significant adverse effect on workers’ well-being, productivity, and performance and is becoming a major concern for both individual companies and the overall economy. To reduce negative consequences, early detection of stress is a key factor. In response several stress prediction methods have been proposed, whose primary aim is to analyse physiological and behavioural data. However, evidence suggests that solutions based on physiological and behavioural data alone might be challenging when implemented in real-world settings. These solutions are sensitive to data problems arising from losses in signal quality or alterations in body responses, which are common in everyday activities. The contagious nature of stress and its sensitivity to the surroundings can be used to improve these methods. In this study, we sought to investigate automatic stress prediction using both surrounding stress data, which we define as close colleagues’ stress levels and the stress level history of the individuals. We introduce a real-life, unconstrained study conducted with 30 workers monitored over 8 weeks. Furthermore, we propose a method to investigate the effect of stress levels of close colleagues on the prediction of an individual’s stress levels. Our method is also validated on an external, independent dataset. Our results show that surrounding stress can be used to improve stress prediction in the workplace, where we achieve 80% of F-score in predicting individuals’ stress levels from the surrounding stress data in a multiclass stress classification.     

NaCl胁迫紫色辣椒新品系YN99007的发芽试验生理研究

紫色辣椒新品系(YN99007)在5种不同NaCl浓度(0.0%、0.5%、1.0%、1.5%、2.0%)处理下进行发芽试验(以日本天鹰椒作为对照),研究各浓度下的发芽率、发芽势、发芽指数、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性及根系活力等指标.结果表明:NaCl浓度范围为1.0%～1.5%时,紫色辣椒YN99007的发芽率、发芽势和发芽指数高于对照品种;而其芽中的过氧化氢酶活性及根系活力均低于对照品种,但高盐浓度下YN99007的两个指标值下降缓慢.

Stress corrosion cracking in ancient silver

Abstract

Six cases of ancient silver embrittlement by corrosion are discussed with respect to evidence for stress corrosion cracking. Both intergranular and transgranular cracking can occur, depending on whether there is retained cold-work in the silver. The severity of cracking is influenced by a combination of factors, including the amount of cold-work in the silver and the burial environment. The burial environment is important for two reasons. Firstly, the soil weight can induce high stresses, particularly in hollow, thin-walled, and incompletely filled-in artefacts. Secondly, grave burials can result in more aggressive soil environments owing to high salinity from body decomposition.

运动训练适应理论研究综述--兼论运动训练的本质

采用文献资料法和逻辑分析法,借助生物适应理论探讨运动训练的本质,为提高运动员竞技能力提供理论依据。运动训练是有目的的改造人类自身的实践活动,其本质就是基于内稳态的生物适应,是对内稳态理论的应用与发展。运动训练中人体对训练负荷产生的应激反应,能引起有机体机能水平的适应性提高,适应过程和适应机理均可通过应激学说来解释。训练刺激会给机体内部带来正负两种效应：适应效应和疲劳效应。在有效的时间内,任何一次训练刺激最终表现为正负两种效应的综合。
