Web-Based Physical Activity Interventions Are Feasible and Beneficial Solutions to Prevent Physical and Mental Health Declines in Community-Dwelling Older Adults During Isolation Periods

Author(s): Granet J; Peyrusqué E; Ruiz F; Buckinx F; Abdelkader LB; Dang-Vu TT; Sirois MJ; Gouin JP; Pageaux B; Aubertin-Leheudre M;

Background: Periods of prolonged lockdown increase the risk of physical inactivity, which can contribute to physical decline among older adults. Online technology could be an innovative solution to promote physical activity (PA) habits in this context. The goal of this study was to examine and co ...

The aesthetic value of reef fishes is globally mismatched to their conservation priorities

Author(s): Langlois J; Guilhaumon F; Baletaud F; Casajus N; De Almeida Braga C; Fleuré V; Kulbicki M; Loiseau N; Mouillot D; Renoult JP; Stahl A; Stuart Smith RD; Tribot AS; Mouquet N;

Reef fishes are closely connected to many human populations, yet their contributions to society are mostly considered through their economic and ecological values. Cultural and intrinsic values of reef fishes to the public can be critical drivers of conservation investment and success, but remain ...

Fixed Intelligence Mindset, Self-Esteem, and Failure-Related Negative Emotions: A Cross-Cultural Mediation Model

Author(s): Gál É; Tóth-Király I; Orosz G;

A growing body of literature supports that fixed intelligence mindset promotes the emergence of maladaptive emotional reactions, especially when self-threat is imminent. Previous studies have confirmed that in adverse academic situations, students endorsing fixed intelligence mindset experience higher levels of negative emotions, although little is known ...

Humanized yeast to model human biology, disease and evolution

Author(s): Kachroo AH; Vandeloo M; Greco BM; Abdullah M;

For decades, budding yeast, a single-cellular eukaryote, has provided remarkable insights into human biology. Yeast and humans share several thousand genes despite morphological and cellular differences and over a billion years of separate evolution. These genes encode critical cellular processes, the failure of which in humans results in disease. Althoug ...

Empathy, Defending, and Functional Connectivity While Witnessing Social Exclusion

Author(s): McIver TA; Craig W; Bosma RL; Chiarella J; Klassen J; Sandra A; Goegan S; Booij L;

Peers are present for most bullying episodes. Peers who witness bullying can play an important role in either stopping or perpetuating the behaviour. Defending can greatly benefit victimized peers. Empathy is strongly associated with defending. Yet, less is known about defenders' neural response to witnessing social distress, and how this response may ...

Transport of Microplastics in Shore Substrates over Tidal Cycles: Roles of Polymer Characteristics and Environmental Factors

Author(s): Feng Q; Chen Z; Greer CW; An C; Wang Z;

Tidal zones providing habitats are particularly vulnerable to microplastic (MP) pollution. In this study, the effects of tidal cycles on the transport of MPs (4-6 µm polyethylene, PE1; 125 µm polyethylene, PE2; and 5-6 µm polytetrafluoroethylene, PFTE) in porous media combined with various environmental and MPs properties were systemically investigated. T ...

Diverse Applications of Biomass-Derived 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural and Derivatives as Renewable Starting Materials

Author(s): Chacón-Huete F; Messina C; Cigana B; Forgione P;

This Review summarizes recent efforts to capitalize on 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and related furans as emerging building blocks for the synthesis of fine chemicals and materials, with a focus on advanced applications within medicinal and polymer chemistry, as well as nanomaterials. As with all chemical industries, these fields have historically relied ...

The importance of eco-evolutionary dynamics for predicting and managing insect range shifts

Author(s): Wellenreuther M; Dudaniec RY; Neu A; Lessard JP; Bridle J; Carbonell JA; Diamond SE; Marshall KE; Parmesan C; Singer MC; Swaegers J; Thomas CD; Lancaster LT;

Evolutionary change impacts the rate at which insect pests, pollinators, or disease vectors expand or contract their geographic ranges. Although evolutionary changes, and their ecological feedbacks, strongly affect these risks and associated ecological and economic consequences, they are often un ...

Sources, behaviors, transformations, and environmental risks of organophosphate esters in the coastal environment: A review

Author(s): Chen Z; An C; Elektorowicz M; Tian X;

The rapid growth in the global production of organophosphate esters (OPEs) has resulted in their high environmental concentrations. The low removal rate of OPEs makes the effluents of wastewater treatment plants be one of the major sources of OPEs. Due to relatively high solubility and mobility, OPEs can be carried to the coastal environment through river ...

Cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire in Italian university athletes with musculoskeletal injuries

Author(s): Monticone M; Dover G; Massidda M; Giordano A; Franchignoni F;

The aim of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate an Italian version of the Athlete Fear Avoidance Questionnaire (AFAQ-I). We conducted a cross-sectional evaluation of the psychometric properties of the AFAQ-I in university athletes with musculoskeletal injuries, culturally adapting it in accordance with international standards. Psycho ...
