Keeping secrets from parents: Longitudinal associations of secrecy in adolescence
Contains fulltext :
55705.pdf (publisher's version ) (Closed access)A 2-wave survey study among 1173 10-14-year-olds tested the longitudinal contribution of secrecy from parents to psychosocial and behavioral problems in adolescence. Additionally, it investigated a hypothesized contribution of secrecy from parents to adolescent development by examining its relation with self-control. Results showed that keeping secrets from parents is associated with substantial psychosocial and behavioral disadvantages in adolescence even after controlling for possible confounding variables, including communication with parents, trust in parents, and perceived parental supportiveness. Contrary to prediction, secrecy was also negatively associated with feelings of self-control. Secrecy from parents thus appears to be an important risk factor for adolescent psychosocial well-being and behavioral adjustment.12 p
Community landscapes: an integrative approach to determine overlapping network module hierarchy, identify key nodes and predict network dynamics
Background: Network communities help the functional organization and
evolution of complex networks. However, the development of a method, which is
both fast and accurate, provides modular overlaps and partitions of a
heterogeneous network, has proven to be rather difficult. Methodology/Principal
Findings: Here we introduce the novel concept of ModuLand, an integrative
method family determining overlapping network modules as hills of an influence
function-based, centrality-type community landscape, and including several
widely used modularization methods as special cases. As various adaptations of
the method family, we developed several algorithms, which provide an efficient
analysis of weighted and directed networks, and (1) determine pervasively
overlapping modules with high resolution; (2) uncover a detailed hierarchical
network structure allowing an efficient, zoom-in analysis of large networks;
(3) allow the determination of key network nodes and (4) help to predict
network dynamics. Conclusions/Significance: The concept opens a wide range of
possibilities to develop new approaches and applications including network
routing, classification, comparison and prediction.Comment: 25 pages with 6 figures and a Glossary + Supporting Information

GATA3 Expression Is Decreased in Psoriasis and during Epidermal Regeneration; Induction by Narrow-Band UVB and IL-4
Psoriasis is characterized by hyperproliferation of keratinocytes and by
infiltration of activated Th1 and Th17 cells in the (epi)dermis. By expression
microarray, we previously found the GATA3 transcription factor significantly
downregulated in lesional psoriatic skin. Since GATA3 serves as a key switch in
both epidermal and T helper cell differentiation, we investigated its function
in psoriasis. Because psoriatic skin inflammation shares many characteristics of
epidermal regeneration during wound healing, we also studied GATA3 expression
under such conditions

The body as a selfing device: The case of anorexia nervosa
Contains fulltext :
27817.pdf (publisher's version ) (Open Access)Psychology's conceptualization of anorexia nervosa illustrates how the discipline deals with the body. On the one hand, there is an emphasis on the body as a physiological apparatus. On the other hand, specific approaches such as social constructionism stress the non-physiological body as something to which certain discursive meanings get attached. We propose to view the body as a producer of meaning in its own right, as a 'selfing device'. To this end we emphasize bodily communication as a continuous flow of co-regulated interaction. The body presents itself as the natural juncture of 'co-regulative skills'. The 'selfing process' involves multiple stylized bodily skills that testify to people's ability to take part in the life-world. Anorexia is seen as a disturbance of those skills
