Developmental Associations Between Adolescent Change in Depressive Symptoms and Menstrual-Cycle-Phase-Specific Negative Affect During Early Adulthood

The causal factors associated with increases in depressive symptoms among adolescent girls remain an area of theoretical debate, and the limited research considering a hormonal influence has provided mixed results. The goal of the present study was to test a set of longitudinal associations, that, if found, would provide support for a hormonal contribution to these changes. Specifically, this study tested the hypotheses that changes in depressive symptoms among adolescent girls would be associated with phase-specific symptoms of the menstrual cycle during early adulthood; that these associations would differ across three phases of the menstrual cycle; and that the pattern of associations would differ for changes in depressive symptoms during early- and late-adolescence. The sample consisted of 47 women with longitudinal data from 12 to 21 years old (approximately 91% European Canadian, 4% Middle Eastern Canadian, 2% Haitian Canadian, and 2% Asian Canadian). Consistent with expectations, results showed that early-adolescent increases in depressive symptoms were negatively associated with menstrual-phase negative affect, and positively associated with mid-cycle negative affect, but not associated with premenstrual negative affect; whereas late-adolescent change in depressive symptoms was only associated with depressive symptoms at 20-21 years. Thus, early-adolescent changes in depressive symptoms are longitudinally associated with later mood change across the menstrual cycle, suggesting a common underlying cause, which is hypothesized to be hormonal. Moreover, results suggest that, with respect to variables that are involved in affective development, important differences exist between early- and late-adolescence. The discussion considers menstrual-cycle-related symptoms (e.g., dysmenorrhea) during adolescence, and the need to study their effects on development. It is suggested that focused intervention and prevention efforts may be indicated to interrupt negative developmental outcomes.     

苏维埃俄国的计划经济(续)

正第三章五年计划下的经济发展与经济政策①第一节苏维埃经济彻底社会主义化的历程起初,国外并没有把五年计划当回事,仅将其当作一种宣传,意在激励人们工作。这种怀疑论走得太远了;当计划的内容在苏维埃俄国大多得以落实时,怀疑让位于震惊,在某些圈子里,及至痴迷。然而,彻底的怀疑与过度的痴迷一样,都是非理性的。但是,怀疑论者有一点是对的:一眼就能看出,计划的巨额投资并没有带来一般生活水准的同步改善。同时,不要忘记,掌控所有资源、以     

Relationships Between Family Connectedness and Body Satisfaction: A Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Girls and Boys

The present study examined the longitudinal links between perceptions of family connectedness and body satisfaction in 1,774 (52% female) adolescents. Participants (10–15 years of age at Time 1) completed self-report measures at three measurement occasions separated by 1 year each. Mean group difference results showed that both body satisfaction levels and perceived levels of family connectedness decreased over 2 years for the whole sample. As expected, girls were generally less satisfied with their bodies than boys, particularly in the older cohort. Structural equation modelling was used to assess stability coefficients and cross-lagged effects, and longitudinal bidirectional effects between perceptions of family connectedness and body satisfaction were found for girls, but not for boys. This result suggests that adolescent girls’ body satisfaction is both affected by and a predictor of perceived family connectedness.     

Benevolence in Beijing

My brand new bicycle had been stolen! Disbelief. Anger! Disappointment... I had been riding it for only a day,and was as excited as a,well,a boy with a new bike. Even though I only paid what would be the equivalent of half a tank of gas for my truck back home,I was still sorely put out.     

中国走出危机的经验与俄中合作

中国和俄罗斯都经受了国际金融危机的冲击,中国以拉动内需、稳定社会、结构调整为主旨的反危机措施取得显著成效,抵御和摆脱危机的经验值得俄借鉴。俄罗斯能源依赖型增长模式受金融危机重挫,经济结构调整势在必行,创新经济是走出危机和经济复兴的根本途径。中国和俄罗斯的经济结构调整战略为两国未来合作提供了广阔空间。

亚太地区的安全稳定与俄中利益

亚太地区出现一个全新的局面。一方面,区域内的国际合作正在拓展,一个能够带来区域稳定和安全并得到普遍认同的体系正在形成。另一方面,亚太国家之间争夺地区内影响力的对抗和竞争的危险性日益加重,甚至有可能导致公开冲突并阻碍区域一体化的进程。为此,继续构建一个囊括地区内所有国家的,以合作、互信、对等安全为基础的新机制十分重要。亚太地区的发展直接影响俄罗斯联邦的利益,俄罗斯倡导要确保地区的稳定和安全,以及囊括所有亚太国家的建设性合作。近年来,俄罗斯政府特别重视促进东西伯利亚及远东地区的经济发展,该地区是俄罗斯实现亚太地区一体化的一个重要载体。开展同中国的合作,进一步开发俄罗斯远东地区,对于俄罗斯贯彻经济战略、实现经济现代化、融入亚太地区的经济空间,都具有原则性的重要意义。     

猪水泡病病毒和科赛奇B_5病毒的比较电泳检查

科赛奇B_5病毒和猪水泡病病毒的纯化悬液是经过收获和细胞团块病毒的纯化制备的。用纯化的N和H抗原级份(完整颗粒和中空颗粒)进行交叉免疫电泳。曾计算了三株猪水泡病病毒(UKG 72、HK 71和Italy 66)和二株科赛奇B_5病毒(Faulkner和8068)N抗原级份的相对迁移速度(RMV)。科赛奇B_5病毒的标准株(Faulkner)具有与最先分离到的猪水泡病病毒株Italy 66几乎一致的低相对迁移速度。一株科赛奇B_5最近分离株(8068,1973在英国分离到的)具有与1972年在英国分离到的猪水泡病病毒UKG 72株十分近似的比较高的相对迁移速度。同样,猪水泡病病毒香港毒株(HK 71)也具有高相对迁移速度值。最后讨论了这些观察结果与猪水泡病的出现之间的联系。     

骆驼的原虫疾病

在所有养骆驼的国家,锥虫感染都引起严重的发病率(达30％)和死亡率(约3％),其中最重要的是苏拉病,即伊氏锥虫(Trypanosoma evansi)感染。这是Evans氏于1880年在印度首先发现和研究的。在非洲,Cazalbou氏早在1896年也曾在马里的Timbuktu地方研究过此病。在苏联,由柯雅二氏锥虫T.ninae kohl—yakimov)在双峰驼所致的锥虫病称作“Su—auru”,这是一个哈萨克名称,意思是“来源于水的疾病”。锥虫病是乍得的骆驼
