This implies 12-Step recovery to be less antithetical to, and indeed more aligned with, humanistic practitioner values than is perhaps often assumed to be the case. This finding suggests that practitioners may need to consider reappraising their view of 12-Step recovery. The discussion will therefore focus on the agency-structure dialectic that…[Read more]

In particular, an ultra-thin polyimide substrate (6 μm) was successfully fabricated and showed potential for use in next-generation flexible electronics.We have entered an era of a steep increase in the absolute and relative number of older people. This well-come phenomenon represents a major challenge for health care. However, maturational…[Read more]

MicroRNAs are frequently clustered in the genome and polycistronically transcribed, regulating targeted genes in diverse signaling pathways. The miR-17-92 cluster is a typical miRNA cluster, playing crucial roles in the organogenesis and homeostasis of physiological processes in vertebrates. Here, we identified three miRNAs (csa-miR-92a,…[Read more]

5 cm laterally at the level of point A. In two initial applications 55 and 54 cc of high-risk clinical target volumes (HRCTV) were treated, and 90% of the HRCTV was covered by 96% and 97% of prescribed doses, respectively. Additionally, the needles guided by the template helped in sculpting the dose from bladder and rectum. Conclusions We have…[Read more]

A plausible explanation for the enhanced polymer binding with POPG invokes the role of hydrogen bonding between the glycerol headgroup and the ether moieties of the polymers.Because of the large surface-to-volume ratio of colloidal nanocrystals (NCs), surfactant molecules grafted at the NC surface play an important role in NC growth, interparticle…[Read more]

In addition, females were associated more with rivers due to their higher water demands. The differences in habitat selection between Siberian ibex males and females depend on multiple considerations, but only a limited number of key factors determine their actual distribution.Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams contain a helical phase front with a…[Read more]

Controlling the optical response of two-dimensional (2D) layered materials is critical for their optoelectronic and photonic applications. Current transient optical modulation of 2D semiconductors is mainly based on the band filling effect, which requires internal exciton/charge occupation from photoexcitation or charge injection. However, 2D…[Read more]

Acute lung injury (ALI) remains a serious challenge in the intensive care unit. Inflammation plays a key role in the progression of ALI. Chrysin (CHR) is a natural flavonoid with anti-inflammatory functions. We investigated the anti-inflammatory effects in a mouse model of ALI induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS), and identified the underlying…[Read more]

In this study, we report the complete mitochondrial genomes (mtgenome) of Thyreus decorus, Ceratina okinawana and Amegilla calceifera, which are the first time of mtgenome report also for the genera Thyreus, Ceratina and Amegilla in the family Apidae. They contain 15,237, 15,207, and 17,728 bp, with AT content of 84.97%, 79.30%, and 84.63%, r…[Read more]

Double-eyelid blepharoplasty, the procedure to create supratarsal crease, has been one of the most popular cosmetic operations in Asia for many years. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness and safety of a surgical procedure using a composite tissue flap for double-eyelid blepharoplasty. A surgical technique was introduced and patients…[Read more]

Lipid oxidation is one of the major causes of food spoilage for lipid-rich foods. In particular, oil-in-water emulsions, like mayonnaises and spreads, are prone to oxidation due to the increased interfacial area that facilitates contact between the lipids and hydrophilic pro-oxidants present in the water phase. Polar, amphiphilic lipid species…[Read more]
