The Role of Social Capital in Public Health: Implications for Social Health Promotion

This examine investigates the position of social capital in public health and its effect on promoting social health by means of studying the sample's demographic traits from 18-24 to 55, exercising habits, and universal properly-being rankings from 18-24 to 55, in addition to the correlation between hours of exercising and nicely-being rankings Table three unveils the complex relationship between exercise hours and nicely-being rankings, supplying a quantitative perception into how those two variables interconnect throughout all age groups inside the have a look at.  The demographic evaluation in Table 1 provides a deeper understanding of the sample populace, guiding the development of fitness promoting strategies focused to specific network wishes. Table 2 highlights the relationship among workout conduct and well-being scores, stressing the capability impact of bodily hobby on an man or woman's properly-being. Correlation evaluation in Table 3 shows a complicated relationship among hours of exercise and well-being, strain and social capital mediation. The implications for social fitness advertising highlight that interventions that intersect with social capital can play an essential function in shaping healthier communities. By leveraging the insights of demographic evaluation and correlations, practitioners and coverage makers can layout interventions that not most effective encourage physical pastime however additionally improve the social surroundings that helps health behaviors. While acknowledging the restrictions of the take a look at, these findings provide a foundation for future studies and proof-based interventions. A holistic method that integrates social capital issues into public fitness initiatives has the capacity to create resilient, connected, and healthier groups

Enhancing Mental Well-being through Psychological Education: The Role of Emotional Intelligence Development

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between psychological education, emotional intelligence, and favourable mental health outcomes. The study uses a mixed-methods research approach to investigate the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of the link between psychological education treatments and emotional intelligence development, as well as their aggregate impact on individuals' mental well-being. 285 participants were given quantitative assessments of emotional intelligence and mental well-being, while in-depth interviews gave qualitative insights into their experiences with psychological education. The quantitative data show a high positive association between emotional intelligence and mental well-being, which is backed by a hierarchical regression analysis confirming emotional intelligence's predictive significance in mental health outcomes. The transforming influence of psychological education interventions on emotional awareness, control, and interpersonal interactions is further emphasized by qualitative analysis. The combination of quantitative and qualitative data emphasizes psychological education's potential as a tool for promoting emotional fortitude and wellbeing. This study adds to the growing body of research on educational approaches that foster emotional intelligence and advance overall mental health

Les constructions russes en –sja

En russe, la suffixation du même morphème -sja au verbe engage différentes interprétations incluant les interprétations passive, moyenne, réfléchie, réciproque et bien d’autres. Dans cet article, nous proposons une analyse syntaxique unifiée de ces diverses lectures ainsi que des alternances casuelles que manifestent les arguments de la construction en -sja. Cette analyse est basée sur les deux hypothèses suivantes : 1° le morphème -sja est une tête fonctionnelle (marqueur de voix) spécifiée par un Cas nul (dans le sens de Chomsky et Lasnik 1993); 2° le cas Nominatif du noeud T en russe est [faible], mais son trait EPP est [fort].In Russian, the suffixation of the same morpheme -sja to the verb involves various interpretations including passive, middle, reflexive, reciprocal and many others. In this article we propose a unified syntactic analysis of these various readings as well as of the case alternations which the arguments of -sja constructions express. This analysis is based on the two following assumptions: 1° the morpheme -sja is a functional head (marker of voice) specified by a null Case (in the sense of Chomsky and Lasnik 1993); 2° the Nominative case of the node T in Russian is [weak], but its EPP feature is [strong]

Understanding the dynamic of rice farming systems in southern Mozambique to improve production and benefits to smallholders

Rice farming systems (RFSs) in southern Mozambique are very heterogeneous and diversified, which has implications for smallholders’ adoption of each RFS, as well as on rice production and productivity in the region. In this regard, it is important to understand: (i) which RFS typologies can be leveraged to improve rice production and productivity; (ii) the drivers for smallholder farmers’ decisions to adopt an RFS; and (iii) which policies/incentives could enhance existing RFSs. The present study was based on surveys of 341 smallholder rice farmers in the Chókwè Irrigation Scheme (CIS), southern Mozambique. Data on the productivity of rice, size of the herd, and total other crop types were used to frame the RFS typologies. A multinomial logit model (MLM) and multiple linear regression (MLR) were applied to determine the driver for each RFS, and predict the constraints for production and yield. Based on cluster analysis, four typologies of RFSs were identified: the subsistence farming system (FS), specialised rice FS, mixed crops FS, and rice–livestock FS. Farms with longer experience reported applying more fertiliser and seedlings per unit hectare. The availability of labour increased the likelihood of adopting the mixed crops FS and rice–livestock FS. Older households were more likely to adopt the subsistence FS, and live closer to the farming fields. Yield of rice was positively associated with inputs such as fertilisers, pesticides, and seedlings, as well as years of experience of the household. Our results suggest that smallholder farmers need more assistance and technical support to identify and adopt more productive and less costly RFSs in this regioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

DP Positions in African Languages

A handout of a presentation given at the Afranaph Project Development Workshop on December 10-11, 2010, at Rutgers University in New Jersey.A central concern of syntactic theory has long been to explain and predict the distribution of nominal expressions, henceforth D(eterminer) P(hrases), and their involvement in morphosyntactic relations. Where can they occur? When can they move, control agreement, and bear Case? The study of Indo-European (IE) languages has yielded strong generalizations upon which the theory is based. As we illustrate, a number of African languages in which such phenomena have been explored seem to turn these generalizations more or less on their heads. Our project seeks to determine and to explain the possibilities and limitations of DP positions, focusing primarily on Bantu languages. Some of the issues arise also in non-Bantu African languages including Igbo and Ibibio (see Ura 1998 on Igbo hyper-raising, = raising from tensed clauses; Baker and Willie 2010 on Ibibio multiple agreement), and we hope the project can be extended to them as well

QTL mapping: a conceptual approach to improving cold tolerance at seedling stage in rice (Oryza sativa. L)

Much of what is known about the process of technological innovation in agriculture has yet to be captured in the discussions of abiotic stress plant tolerance as well as rice cold tolerance. The development of research and technological solutions to minimize risks of current abiotic stresses to the plant can lead to two possible outcomes: increase in agricultural productivity and assist the future of plant breeding work. Research efforts about the role of technological development, driven by abiotic stress constraints, are pivotal in making any assertion about the likely tolerance of plant to abiotic stress. Drawing upon the hypothesis of QTL mapping, this research investigates on detection of QTLs for cold tolerance at the seedling stage in rice (Oryza sativa. L), QTLs identified from a BC1F2 breeding population derived from the cross between Chomrongdhan, a donor parent tolerant with Vary botry a susceptible parent, that lead to increase rice productivity in Madagascar. Using a controlled environment and molecular work, out of total 500 BC1F2 segregating plants, 144 plants were used for genotyping based on of visual seedling stage cold tolerance symptom. A total of 4606 SNP markers evenly spread throughout the whole 12 rice genome was used for parental polymorphism survey. The 34% polymorphic markers were used for QTL mapping for cold tolerance at seedling stage. QTL analysis using inclusive composite interval mapping detected four QTLs on chromosome 2 and 10 with phenotypic variances (R2) of 11.11, 7.55, 12.8 and 8.8%, respectively. The position of QTL on chromosome 2 was flanked by 2262412 and 2237404, three other QTLs were detected on chromosome 10 conferred cold tolerances for seedling growth and leaf growth at 14day after recovery and appear to be a novel QTLs. Selected tolerant plant in this research should be useful for the farmers and the markers flanking those identified QTLs should be useful for molecular marker assisted breeding for cold tolerance for the breeder.

Properties of Subjects in Bantu Languages

A handout of a presentation given at the Afranaph Project Development Workshop on December 11, 2010, at Rutgers University in New Jersey.This handout discusses how subject words function in various Bantu languages. Bantu languages are pro-drop, hence null subject languages (NSLs). Our initial findings are that preverbal subjects can, in fact, be non-specific indefinites (in at least Lubukusu and Kirundi). In Kirundi, expressions that are not licit in left-dislocated positions are fine as subjects. Person and tense/aspect influence the availability of inverse scope relations. Our preliminary conclusion is that at least some Bantu subjects are in Spec, TP; hence the nature of subject agreement in NSLs does not in general preclude subjects from occupying that position
