Relationships between restrained eating and personality and self-esteem

by John B. Nezlek, Catherine A. Forestell

We examined relationships between restrained eating and personality and self-esteem in a sample of 4382 undergraduates attending a university in the US, Mage = 18.9, SD = 1.42. Restrained eating was measured using the Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire, personality was measured using the BFI-44, and self-esteem was measured using the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. Restrained eating scores were regressed onto the five personality traits of the BFI-44... Читать дальше...

Exploring strategies for management of in-hospital stroke in Sweden: A qualitative study

by Ilan Ben-Shabat, Kristina Lindvall, Jonatan Salzer

Background

Patients with in-hospital stroke (IHS) are discovered and treated with delays compared to community-onset stroke. This qualitative study explores current routines and clinical practices for IHS in Sweden, aiming to uncover factors influencing management and propose areas for future research and development.

Methods

Six physicians in charge of stroke alerts at Swedish hospitals were individually interviewed in video calls. Читать дальше...

Research on talent cultivation for rural revitalization based on three-party evolutionary game

by Jinxia Wang, Yunfeng Tan, Qiong Hu, Huarong Cheng, Fang Gao

The sustainable development of Rural Revitalization Talent Training (RRTT) is a key prerequisite for realizing the rural revitalization strategy. In order to study the influence of various stakeholders on RRTT, explore its optimal development path, and clarify the key control factors, this study analyzes the behavioral decision-making of RRTT stakeholders for the first time, and constructs an evolutionary game model of the government, universities and village collectives.

Deciphering individual triticale grain weight patterns: A gaussian mixture model approach

by Bo Hwan Kim, Hyeok Kwon, Wook Kim

Grain weight is one of the key phenotypic traits in crops, closely related to yield. However, the actual structure of grain weight distribution is often overlooked. In this paper, to analyze the characteristics of grain weight, we interpret the weight distribution and structure of individual grains of triticale (× Triticosecale Wittmack) from the perspective of a sum of normal distributions, rather than a single normal distribution, using the Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM).

An accurate semi-empirical model for PMT pulse signal analysis

by Shuo Li, Xudong Lyu, Fei Wang, Chao Sun

The energy information of pulse signals is significantly important for applications such as computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and research on defects in condensed matter. Time-over-threshold (TOT) and multi-voltage threshold (MVT) are commonly used digitization methods in sampling pulse signal. However, both approaches rely on a mathematical model of the pulse signal to derive energy information. This study proposes a... Читать дальше...

Seasonal and altitudinal dynamics in secondary metabolite composition of Commelina forage species in Konso zone, southern Ethiopia

by Kebede Gelgelo, Yisehak Kechero, Dereje Andualem

Exploring the type and amounts of the secondary metabolites (SMs) in a given fodder species was considered as a meaningful act for safe and profitable utilization of that particular feedstuff in the livestock industry. This study was conducted in the Konso zone, southern Ethiopia, to explore the secondary metabolite composition of Commelina species in two seasons and at two different altitudes. Samples were collected from the two altitudes and seasons. Читать дальше...

Porous biochars derived from brewery waste for the treatment of Cr(VI)-contaminated water

by Zeleke Zewde, Tsegaye Girma Asere, Menberu Yitbarek

The use of brewery waste for the removal of pollutants such as chromium has rarely been studied. In the present work, the removal of hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) from aqueous solutions was evaluated by brewer’s spent grain (BSG), brewing sewage sludge (BSS), and their mixture (MIX), which were obtained from the Bedele Brewery Share Company, Ethiopia. BSG with acid and heat treatment at 600 °C was selected during the preliminary screening... Читать дальше...

Suspension height tune-up with constant stiffness properties through motor-driving double-gas-chamber hydro-pneumatic strut: Experimental study and modeling

by Ruihong Li, Fan Yang, Feng Zhao, Weiqiang Zhang, Dezhao Lin

In vehicle suspension, it is important to achieve continuous height adjustment to reduce the possibility of unstable and off-tracking caused by uneven postures. It is usually solved by air suspension, in which the dynamic properties will change under the adjusting process and these changes are not conducive to control. Considering the above, in this paper a double-gas-chamber hydro-pneumatic strut (DHPS) with the constant and/or... Читать дальше...

Association between blood pressure control in hypertension and urine sodium to potassium ratio: From the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2016–2021)

by Youngmin Yoon, Minkook Son

Background

Hypertension (HTN) is linked to an enhanced risk of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease. While sodium and potassium intake affect blood pressure (BP) control, the urine sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio, which reflects dietary balance and renal regulation of these electrolytes, could be associated with BP. This study aimed to evaluate the independent association between urine Na/K and uncontrolled HTN.

Methods

Data were collected... Читать дальше...
