The Mediating Role of Cognitive Reappraisal on Bedtime Procrastination and Sleep Quality in Higher Educational Context: A Three-Wave Longitudinal Study by Zhang Y, Rehman S, Addas A, Ahmad M, Khan A

“…Grounded in the Self-Regulation Model of Behavior and the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping, this study examines the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal in the relationship between bedtime procrastination and sleep quality over time.Methods: Employing a longitudinal design, the study examined the progression of bedtime procrastination, cognitive reappraisal, and sleep quality among university students at three distinct time points throughout an academic semester. Structural equation modeling and autoregressive time-lagged panel models were utilized to analyze the data, assessing both the direct effects and the mediating role of cognitive reappraisal over time.Results: The results revealed that bedtime procrastination exhibited significant stability across time points (β = 0.619 to 0.658, p< 0.001). …”

Fertilization Induced Soil Microbial Shifts Show Minor Effects on <i>Sapindus mukorossi</i> Yield by Juntao Liu, Zhexiu Yu, Yingyun Gong, Jie Chen, Ling Zhou, Weihua Zhang, Liming Jia

“…The relative abundance of <i>Firmicutes</i>, <i>Bacteroidota</i>, and <i>Fusobacteriota</i> was positively correlated with the application of P and K fertilizers, while the relative abundance of <i>Acidobacteriota</i> and <i>Verrucomicrobiota</i> decreased with the increase in P and K fertilizers. (3) The N₂P₂K₂ treatment produced the highest <i>sapindus</i> yield (1464.58 kg/ha), which increased by 258.67% above the control. (4) Redundancy analysis (RDA) showed that the primary determinants of bacterial community structure were soil pH, total K, and effective P concentration. (5) Structural equation modeling (SEM) showed that soil nutrient content was the main direct factor driving the yield of <i>Sapindus mukorossi</i>, whereas the bacterial community attributes (e.g., diversity and structure) had minor effects on the yield. …”
