Viral infection of tobacco plants improves performance of Bemisia tabaci but more so for an invasive than for an indigenous biotype of the whitefly

The ecological effects of plant-virus-vector interactions on invasion of alien plant viral vectors have been rarely investigated. We examined the transmission of Tomato yellow leaf curl China virus (TYLCCNV) by the invasive Q biotype and the indigenous ZHJ2 biotype of the whitefly Bemisia tabaci, a plant viral vector, as well as the influence of TYLCCNV-infection of plants on the performance of the two whitefly biotypes. Both whitefly biotypes were able to acquire viruses from infected plants and retained t...     

A Review and Meta-Analysis Examining the Relationship of Music Content with Sex,Race, Priming,and Attitudes

This meta-analysis (k = 35, N = 11,629) examines the effect that listening to music, particularly popular music, has on consumers. Results demonstrate that listening to music generates an effect on listeners consistent with the content of the music (average r = .210, k = 35, N = 11,629). This effect was similar when considering survey research (r = .227) or experimental research (r = .265). The tenets of excitation transfer theory received some support, particularly when considering the effects of music as a priming material (r = .399), demonstrating the impact of music as a means of establishing mood, and ultimately the subsequent reactions of individuals. One conclusion is that efforts toward media literacy or education may prove far more productive than media content restrictions when attempting to curb potential undesirable media effects. Additional implications for policy and theory are discussed.

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。     

浅谈小学青春期性教育

我国的青春期性教育始于二十世纪80年代。目前,有2/3的省市已经在小学开设了健康教育课程,学校把健康教育课纳入教学计划,青春期性教育是小学健康教育的主要内容之一。我国的小学青春期性教育已进行了十几年,但是效果并不理想。本文从小学青春期性教育的重要性、小学青春期性教育存在的主要问题、加强小学青春期性教育的对策三方面进行探讨。     

Sex Differences in the Perceived Appropriateness of Receiving Verbal Aggression

This study predicted that (a) male recipients evaluate aggressive messages as more appropriate than female recipients, and (b) the magnitude of this difference varies as a function of contextual parameters. A total of 249 college-aged students responded to hypothetical scenarios to evaluate the influence of sex of the message recipient, sex of the message source, relationship type, and privacy level of the communication setting on recipients’ evaluations of appropriateness of aggressive communication. Results indicated that male recipients evaluate aggressive messages as more appropriate than female recipients, and this main effect was moderated by sex of the message source, relationship type, and privacy level. The discussion highlights the subjective experience of aggression for male and female recipients.
