Drawing on the theoretical...This article explores the intricate relationship between attachment styles formed during early childhood and the subsequent responses to traumatic events, particularly the death of a parent. Drawing on the theoretical framework of attachment theory and incorporating contemporary research, the paper discusses how parental interactions shape the neural circuitry of infants and children, influencing their ability to form secure or insecure attachments. These attachment styles, in turn, play a critical role in determining the child’s coping mechanisms when faced with trauma. This paper focuses on trying to understand how attachment theory is connected to the reaction to trauma with a highlight on the four major styles of attachments which are secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized to mention but a few, and how they influence stress and adversity in children. Attachment theory holds that human beings’ ability to form affectional bonds in infancy determines their patterns of relatedness across the life cycle. The type of attachment that is secure usually supports healthy adaptation and good coping mechanisms regardless of the trauma in the childhood of the child. While secure attachment mostly facilitates favorable trauma-related outcomes, anxious or avoidant attachment can exacerbate or alter the responses. The caregiving system that is avoidant attachment has implications of autonomous self-functioning which has features of suppression of the emotional response and poor search for emotional support during stress. From the principles of developmental psychology and trauma theory, the paper also focuses on the major significance of the child’s early caregivers’ interactions that define the resilience and vulnerability factor. This knowledge is therefore critical in designing specific interventions based on the improvement of coping behaviors and emotional regulatory systems of children who have been exposed to trauma. Finally, we have the synthesis of new knowledge about the role of secure attachment relationships as its fundamental element in shaping adaptive traumatization and psychological development. The article also delves into the physiological processes involved in emotional regulation and the role of cortisol in disrupting attachment. Finally, the implications of these findings for therapeutic interventions and the challenges of addressing prolonged grief and traumatic responses in clinical settings are considered.展开更多

Flotation tests at different conditions were conducted in a single bubble flotation cell. The recovery of cassiterite was found to be affected by cassiterite particle and bubble size. A matching range, in which the best recovery can be obtained, was found between particle and bubble size. Collision, attachment, and detachment of the particle-bubble were observed and captured by a high-speed camera. Particle-bubble collision and attachment were analyzed with the use of particle-bubble interaction theory to obtain the experimental results. An attachment model was introduced and verified through the photos captured by the high-speed camera. A bridge role was observed between the bubbles and particles. Particle-bubble interaction was found to be affected by bubble size and particle size, which significantly influenced not only the collision and attachment behavior of the particles and bubbles but also the flotation recovery of fine cassiterite particles.展开更多

The corresponding electron attachment rate constants varied from 1.26×10-8 cm3/（molecules s） to 8.24×10-9 cm3/（molecules s） as the electric field changed from 200 V/cm to 500 V/cm. At a fixed electric field in the drift region, the attachment rate constants are also detected at different sample concentration. The ionmolecule reaction rate constants for the further reaction between Cl^- and CHCl3 are also detected, which indicates that the technique maybe becomes a new method to research the rate constants between ions and neural molecules. And the reaction rate constants between Cl- and CHCl3 are the first time detected using CD-IMS.展开更多

The vectors with and without MARs were transferred into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedure. GUS activity assays indicated that MARs could increase expression level of uidA gene. The mean GUS activity could be increased twofold as compared to that of transformants without MARs, and the highest GUS activity of transformant could reach tenfold. The correspondence between GUS activity and mRNA accumulation was positive and indicated that MARs could improve transcription of foreign gene.展开更多

文摘Background:Early adolescents become increasingly conscious of their body image,which can profoundly impact their mental health and well-being.In South Korea,societal pressures and expectations regarding physical appearance are particularly intense,making the study of body-esteem in Korean adolescents especially pertinent.This study explores the roles of self-esteem,peer attachment,and maternal attachments in shaping body-esteem among early adolescents.Methods:Structural equation modeling(SEM)was employed using data from 1326 Korean middle school students(Mean_(age)=13.32,SD=1.73).Results:The results revealed that self-esteem had a significantly positive effect on both peer attachment and maternal attachment.However,while peer attachment positively influenced body-esteem,maternal attachment did not have a significant direnct effect on body-esteem.Conclusions:These findings suggest that during early adolescence,peer relationships,rather than maternal bonds,play a more critical role in shaping body image.In a culture that emphasizes peer validation and societal beauty standards,peer relationships have a stronger impact on body-esteem.Interventions should focus on fostering supportive peer environments and enhancing self-esteem to promote positive body-esteem and mental health among adolescents.

文摘In-pipe robots have been widely used in pipes-with smooth inner walls.However,current in-pipe robots face challenges in terms of moving past obstacles and climbing in marine-vessel pipeline systems,which are affected by marine biofouling and electrochemical corrosion.This paper takes inspiration from the dual-hook structure of Trypoxylus dichotomus’s feet and gecko‑like dry adhesives,proposing an in-pipe robot that is capable of climbing on rough and smooth pipe inwalls.The combination of the bioinspired hook and dry adhesives allows the robot to stably attach to rough or smooth pipe inwalls,while the wheel-leg hybrid mechanism provides better conditions for obstacle traversal.The paper explores the attachment and obstacle-surmounting mechanisms of the robot.Moreover,motion strategies for the robot are devised based on different pipe structural features.The experiments showed that this robot can adapt to both smooth and rough pipe environments simultaneously,and its motion performance is superior to conventional driving mechanisms.The robot’s active turning actuators also enable it to navigate through horizontally or vertically oriented 90°bends.

文摘Flexible attachment actuators are popular in a wide range of applications,owing to their flexibility and highly reliable attachment.However,their reversible adhesion performance depends on the actual effective contact area and peel angle during operation.Therefore,a good actuator must ensure a uniform and reliable pre-pressure load on an adhesive surface,to increase the effective contact area of the attached surface,thereby maximizing adhesion.This study was inspired by fusion bionics for designing a hierarchical attachment structure with vacuum-adsorption and dry-adhesion mechanisms.The designed structure used the normal force under the negative pressure of a suction cup as a stable source of a pre-pressure load.By optimizing the rigid and flexible structural layers of the attachment structure,a load was applied uniformly to the adhesion area;thus,reliable attachment was achieved by self-preloading.The structure achieved detachment by exploiting the large deformation of a pneumatic structure under a positive pressure.The hierarchical attachment structure achieved up to 85%of the optimal performance of the adhesive surface.Owing to its self-preloading and reliable attachment characteristics,the designed structure can be used as an attachment unit in various complex scenarios,such as small,lightweight climbing platforms and the transport of objects in long,narrow pipelines.

文摘Influenza A virus(IAV)binds sialic acid receptors on the cell surface to enter the host cells,which is the key step in initiating infection,transmission and pathogenesis.Understanding the factors that contribute to the highly efficient entry of IAV into human cells will help elucidate the mechanism of viral entry and pathogenicity,and provide new targets for intervention.In the present study,we reported a novel membrane protein,C1QTNF5,which binds to the hemagglutinin protein of IAV and promotes IAV infection in vitro and in vivo.We found that the HA1 region of IAV hemagglutinin is critical for the interaction with C1QTNF5 protein,and C1QTNF5 interacts with hemagglutinin mainly through its N-terminus(1–103 aa).In addition,we further demonstrated that overexpression of C1QTNF5 promotes IAV entry,while blocking the interaction between C1QTNF5 and IAV hemagglutinin greatly inhibits viral entry.However,C1QTNF5 does not function as a receptor to mediate IAV infection in sialic acid-deficient CHO-Lec2 cells,but promotes IAV to attach to these cells,suggesting that C1QTNF5 is an important attachment factor for IAV.This work reveals C1QTNF5 as a novel IAV attachment factor and provides a new perspective for antiviral strategies.
文摘BACKGROUND Spinal meningiomas(SMs)are common benign tumors that are typically treated with surgical resection.The choice of surgical approach may vary depending on the location of dural attachment of the SM,with a posterior approach being the traditional preference.However,there is limited research available on the impact of dural attachment location on outcomes following posterior approach for SM resection.The average age of the included 34 patients’(10 males and 24 females)age was 62.09 years.Mean follow-up duration was 22.65 months.The location of SM was the thoracic spine in 32 cases,with only 2 in the cervical spine.On average,intraoperative blood loss was 520.59 mL,and operating time was 176.76 minutes.Thirty three cases had successful outcomes while only 1 experienced an unexpe-cted outcome.The tumor recurrence rate was 2.9%.After surgery,there were 3 cases of cerebral spinal fluid leakage,1 case of pneumonia,and 1 case of urinary tract infection.Dural attachments were predominantly found dorsal or dorso-lateral(13 cases),followed by ventral or ventrolateral(14 cases),and lateral(7 cases).The outcomes among these subgroups were similar.CONCLUSION The posterior approach for SM resection is safe and effective,yielding comparable surgical and neurological outcomes regardless of the dural attachment location.
文摘Background:Although fear of cancer recurrence(FCR)is the most important factor affecting the life quality of young breast cancer patients,and it may be affected by the patient’s personality,marital relationship and communication,there is a lack of research on the relationship between adult attachment,self-disclosure and FCR in patients.This study investigated the current situation of FCR in young breast cancer patients,its correlation with adult attachment and self-disclosure and its influencing factors,in order to predict the impact of adult attachment and self-disclosure of patients to spouse on FCR.Methods:A survey was conducted on 126 breast cancer patients at our hospital using the General Information Questionnaire(GIQ),Fear of Progression Questionnaire-Short Form(FoP-Q-SF),Experiences in Close Relationships inventory(ECR),and Distress Disclosure Index(DDI).The study analyzed the status of FCR among young breast cancer patients and its correlation with adult attachment and self-disclosure,along with its influencing factors.Results:Among the 126 young breast cancer patients,50 had a FoP-Q-SF score<34(normal group),while 76 had a FoP-Q-SF score≥34(FCR positive group),with an FCR incidence rate of 60.32%.Univariate analysis showed statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of FoP-Q-SF score,ECR score,attachment anxiety score,attachment avoidance score,DDI score,age,educational level,employment status,per capita monthly income,and treatment method(p<0.05).Correlation analysis revealed that FoP-Q-SF scores were positively correlated with attachment anxiety score,attachment avoidance score,ECR scores and negatively correlated with DDI scores(p<0.05).Linear regression analysis indicated that age,per capita monthly income,treatment method,attachment anxiety,attachment avoidance and self-disclosure level were negative predictors of FoP-Q-SF scores in young breast cancer patients(p<0.05).Conclusion:The incidence rate of FCR among young breast cancer patients is high.There is a positive correlation between adult attachment and the level of FCR,and a negative correlation between the level of self-disclosure and FCR.Patients with lower per capita monthly income,more complex treatment methods,higher level of attachment anxiety,higher level of attachment avoidance and lower DDI scores had higher FoP-Q-SF scores.

文摘In recent years,traditional villages have emerged as popular tourist destinations due to their distinctive resource value.Typically situated in remote and less developed areas,traditional villages boast primitive natural surroundings and rich historical and cultural heritage.These characteristics offer urban dwellers a temporary escape from the complexities of modern life,allowing them to experience physical and mental rejuvenation,mental relaxation,and overall happiness during their visit.By conducting a review of the existing literature concerning tourists’happiness in traditional villages,this study establishes a framework to understand tourists’happiness in traditional village tourism.Using the Qiangang ancient village in Conghua District,Guangzhou as a case study,the research examines the current state of rural characteristics,the establishment of cultural brands,and the promotion of the active utilization of ancient villages within the context of integrating culture,sports,tourism,and agriculture.Based on this analysis,the author proposes strategies to enhance tourists’happiness,including the preservation and development of rural characteristics,the promotion and preservation of local cultural attributes,and the collaborative advancement of culture,sports,tourism,and agriculture to engage key stakeholders actively.
文摘This article explores the intricate relationship between attachment styles formed during early childhood and the subsequent responses to traumatic events, particularly the death of a parent. Drawing on the theoretical framework of attachment theory and incorporating contemporary research, the paper discusses how parental interactions shape the neural circuitry of infants and children, influencing their ability to form secure or insecure attachments. These attachment styles, in turn, play a critical role in determining the child’s coping mechanisms when faced with trauma. This paper focuses on trying to understand how attachment theory is connected to the reaction to trauma with a highlight on the four major styles of attachments which are secure, anxious, avoidant, and disorganized to mention but a few, and how they influence stress and adversity in children. Attachment theory holds that human beings’ ability to form affectional bonds in infancy determines their patterns of relatedness across the life cycle. The type of attachment that is secure usually supports healthy adaptation and good coping mechanisms regardless of the trauma in the childhood of the child. While secure attachment mostly facilitates favorable trauma-related outcomes, anxious or avoidant attachment can exacerbate or alter the responses. The caregiving system that is avoidant attachment has implications of autonomous self-functioning which has features of suppression of the emotional response and poor search for emotional support during stress. From the principles of developmental psychology and trauma theory, the paper also focuses on the major significance of the child’s early caregivers’ interactions that define the resilience and vulnerability factor. This knowledge is therefore critical in designing specific interventions based on the improvement of coping behaviors and emotional regulatory systems of children who have been exposed to trauma. Finally, we have the synthesis of new knowledge about the role of secure attachment relationships as its fundamental element in shaping adaptive traumatization and psychological development. The article also delves into the physiological processes involved in emotional regulation and the role of cortisol in disrupting attachment. Finally, the implications of these findings for therapeutic interventions and the challenges of addressing prolonged grief and traumatic responses in clinical settings are considered.

文摘Particle-bubble interaction during electro-flotation of cassiterite was investigated by determining the recovery of cassiterite and the collision mechanism of cassiterite particle and H2 bubble. Flotation tests at different conditions were conducted in a single bubble flotation cell. The recovery of cassiterite was found to be affected by cassiterite particle and bubble size. A matching range, in which the best recovery can be obtained, was found between particle and bubble size. Collision, attachment, and detachment of the particle-bubble were observed and captured by a high-speed camera. Particle-bubble collision and attachment were analyzed with the use of particle-bubble interaction theory to obtain the experimental results. An attachment model was introduced and verified through the photos captured by the high-speed camera. A bridge role was observed between the bubbles and particles. Particle-bubble interaction was found to be affected by bubble size and particle size, which significantly influenced not only the collision and attachment behavior of the particles and bubbles but also the flotation recovery of fine cassiterite particles.

文摘The dissociative electron attachment process for CHCl3 at different electric field have been studied with nitrogen as drift and carrier gas using corona discharge ionization source ion mobility spectrometry （CD-IMS）. The corresponding electron attachment rate constants varied from 1.26×10-8 cm3/（molecules s） to 8.24×10-9 cm3/（molecules s） as the electric field changed from 200 V/cm to 500 V/cm. At a fixed electric field in the drift region, the attachment rate constants are also detected at different sample concentration. The ionmolecule reaction rate constants for the further reaction between Cl^- and CHCl3 are also detected, which indicates that the technique maybe becomes a new method to research the rate constants between ions and neural molecules. And the reaction rate constants between Cl- and CHCl3 are the first time detected using CD-IMS.
文摘The effect of matrix attachment regions (MARs) on foreign gene expression in transgenic plants was studied, The beta-glucuronidase (GUS) gene (uidA) was flanked by the MARs isolated from the genome of maize to form plant expression vector. The vectors with and without MARs were transferred into tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L.) through Agrobacterium-mediated transformation procedure. GUS activity assays indicated that MARs could increase expression level of uidA gene. The mean GUS activity could be increased twofold as compared to that of transformants without MARs, and the highest GUS activity of transformant could reach tenfold. The correspondence between GUS activity and mRNA accumulation was positive and indicated that MARs could improve transcription of foreign gene.
文摘Since the pioneering work by Panksepp et al,the neurobiological bases of attachment behavior have been closely linked with opioid neurotransmission.Candidate gene studies of adult individuals have shown that variation in the muopioid receptor gene(OPRM1)influences attachment behavior.Early maternal care and the A/A genotype of the A118G polymorphism interact in modulating levels of fearful attachment.Compared to their counterparts carrying the A/A genotype,individuals expressing the minor 118G allele show lower levels of avoidant attachment and experience more pleasure in social situations.Brain imaging research has strengthened the biological plausibility of candidate gene studies.The avoidance dimension of attachment correlates negatively with muopioid receptor availability in the thalamus and anterior cingulate cortex,as well as the frontal cortex,amygdala,and insula.Overall,findings from human studies combined with those from animal models suggest that research on the genetic bases of attachment should include the endogenous opioid system among the investigated variables.
