Anger, physical activity and depression in patients with coronary heart disease : a dominance and moderation analysis by Ng, Emil Jin Huai

“…However at higher levels of physical activity, the magnitude of the simple effect of anger expression out on depression is greatly reduced. The findings seem to partially support the psychodynamic theory of inward directed anger leading to depression, and also suggest that increasing physical activity may be helpful in reducing the likelihood of depressive outcomes in cardiac patients by moderating the relationship between the propensity to express anger and depression.…”

Taming metals: the use of leaded bronze in early China, 2000–1250 BC by Huan, L

“…Instead, I argue that the widespread of leaded bronze objects was mainly due to both the socio-economic concerns in making bronze ritual vessels in Central China and the recycling and reuse of the metals by other communities around Central China. Moreover, the seemingly common use of leaded bronze does not reflect a uniform acceptance of a single set of knowledge and know-how. …”

Rediscovering Homo sapiens in international politics: evolution and rationality’s missing link by Johnson, D

“…An evolutionary perspective suggests: (1) rational choice is not always the most effective or efficient solution to decision-making problems; (2) cognitive biases are not mistakes, but adaptive “strategic instincts,” which evolved because they helped us make good decisions, not bad ones; (3) these “non-rational” dispositions follow a systematic pattern, allowing predictions about how people are likely to react under given conditions; (4) a theory for the origins of preferences; (5) an explanation for why humans can sometimes seem rational and sometimes non-rational (because adaptive behavior depends on context); and finally (6) error management theory suggests that cognitive biases evolved precisely because of uncertainty, as a way of minimizing costs over time. …”

From mechanisms to future therapy: a synopsis of isolated REM sleep behavior disorder as early synuclein-related disease by Stefani, A, Antelmi, E, Arnaldi, D, Arnulf, I, During, E, Högl, B, Hu, MMT, Iranzo, A, Luke, R, Peever, J, Postuma, RB, Videnovic, A, Gan-Or, Z

“…A genome-wide association study identified five loci, which all seem to revolve around the GBA1 pathway. iRBD patients often show subtle motor, cognitive, autonomic and/or sensory signs, neuroimaging alterations as well as biofluid and tissue markers of neurodegeneration (in particular pathologic α-synuclein aggregates), which can be useful for risk stratification. …”

Factors Effecting Human Resource Practices on Employee Performance in Libya Oil & Gas Industry by S Eshtewi, Marwan Bashir, Anuar, Herman Shah, Mohd Nawi, Mohd Nasrun

“…Many HRM studies have indicated positive effect of HR practices on employee performance, but there are some other studies that indicate the otherwise, indicating that the findings of the existing HRM studies are seemingly inconclusive. Equally, most studies are conducted in other contexts other in Libyan context, most especially in the context of Oil and Gas sector. …”
