Research in the U.S. developed and validated the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS), which measures self-compassionate reactions toward a specific negative event. The current study is aimed at developing the Japanese version of the State Self-Compassion Scale (SSCS-J) and extending previous findings in the U.S. by showing measurement invariance across sex ...

Within linear-response theory we derive a response function that thoroughly accounts for the in?uence of elastic scattering and is valid beyond the long-wavelength limit. We use the theory to evaluate the polarization function and the conductivity in metallic armchair graphene nanoribbons (AGNRs) in the Lindhard approximation for intra-band and inter-band ...

The evolution and diversification of ancient megathermal angiosperm lineages with Africa-India origins in Asian tropical forests is poorly understood because of the lack of reliable fossils. Our palaeobiogeographical analysis of pollen fossils from Africa and India combined with molecular data an ...

Background: Impaired family functioning has been associated with obesity in children and adolescents, but few longitudinal studies exist. We examined whether family functioning from early to mid-childhood is associated with overweight and obesity in later childhood and adolescence. Methods: We examined data from the Quebec Longitudinal Study of Child Dev ...

Background: Stigmatization of persons living with obesity is an important public health issue. In 2015, Obesity Canada adopted person-first language in all internal documentation produced by the organization, and, from 2017, required all authors to use person-first language in abstract submission ...

The forced swim test (FST) is a widely used animal model of depression and antidepressant drug screen. Rats are forced to swim on two test days in a restricted space from which there is no escape. On the first test day the rats attempt to escape and then become largely immobile; on the second test day the onset of immobility is more rapid. Immobility is s ...

Governments, public health officials and pharmaceutical companies have all mobilized resources to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Lockdowns, social distancing, and personal protective behaviours have been helpful but have shut down economies and disrupted normal activities. Vaccinations protect po ...

Cognitive psychology has a long history of using physiological measures, such as pupillometry. However, their susceptibility to confounds introduced by stimulus properties, such as color and luminance, has limited their application. Pupil size measurements, in particular, require sophisticated experimental designs to dissociate relatively small changes in ...

Oxidative stress represents an impaired metabolic system that promotes damage to cells and tissues. This is the predominant factor that leads to the development and progression of diabetes and diabetic complications. Research has indicated that zinc plays a consequential mechanistic role in the protection against oxidative stress as zinc is required for t ...
