#Hooked? Extending the social cognitive model in examining the antecedents of problematic social network sites use among Singaporean adolescents and adults by Lee, Edmund Wei Jian

“…The overall analysis showed that the social cognitive model was a viable communication model in understanding problematic SNSs use as it had good psychometric properties and all the hypothesized paths were significant. Chapter Five—which is the third study—builds upon the findings of Chapter Four by postulating that problematic SNSs use is a three-dimensional factor comprising of excessive SNSs use, withdrawal symptoms, and negative outcomes, and extends the social cognitive model to include both external- (relationship with parents) and individual-level antecedents (i.e., depression, loneliness, dependence on SNSs for identity formation, and self-reactive outcome expectations). …”

Time-restricted feeding modulates the DNA methylation landscape, attenuates hallmark neuropathology and cognitive impairment in a mouse model of vascular dementia by Selvaraji, Sharmelee, Efthymios, Motakis, Foo, Roger Sik Yin, Fann, David Y., Lai, Mitchell Kim Peng, Chen, Christopher Li Hsian, Lim, Kah-Leong, Arumugam, Thiruma V.

“…Modulation of DNA methylation patterns in the cortex of AL CCH mice was re-modelled and signs of reversal was observed in IF CCH mice across all three timepoints. Conclusions: These findings provide an understanding of how IF may protect the brain against damage caused by CCH and show promise in offering potential beneficial effects in mitigating the neuropathology and cognitive deficits in VaD.…”

Strategies to increase response rate and reduce non-response bias in population health research: a series of randomised controlled trials during a large COVID-19 study by Atchison, CJ, Gilby, N, Pantelidou, G, Clemens, S, Pickering, K, Chadeau-Hyam, M, Ashby, D, Barclay, WS, Cooke, G, Darzi, A, Riley, S, Donnelly, C, Ward, H, Elliott, P

“…<p><strong>Background:</strong> High response rates are needed in population-based studies as non-response reduces effective sample size and bias affects accuracy and decreases generalizability of the study findings.</p> <br> <p><strong>Objectives:</strong> We tested different strategies to improve response rate and reduce non-response bias in a national population-based COVID-19 surveillance programme in England, UK.…”
