A chain mediation model reveals the association between physical exercise and sense of meaning in life in college students by Hongbo Zhao, Yaqi Li, Lei Shi

“…A convenience sampling method was used to survey 517 university students in Liaoning Province, employing scales measuring , time management disposition, achievement motivation, and sense of meaning in life. (1) Physical exercise showed a significant positive correlation with meaning in life, demonstrating clear direct predictive effects; (2) Physical exercise positively predicted time management disposition, which in turn positively predicted both achievement motivation and meaning in life, with achievement motivation also positively predicting meaning in life; (3) Time management disposition and achievement motivation served as significant mediators between physical exercise and meaning in life, with three identified mediation pathways: physical exercise → time management disposition → meaning in life; physical exercise → achievement motivation → meaning in life; and physical exercise → time management disposition → achievement motivation → meaning in life. (1) Physical exercise significantly and positively predicts college students’ sense of meaning in life; (2) Time management disposition and achievement motivation each serve as mediators, while also functioning as sequential mediators in the relationship between physical exercise and sense of meaning in life.…”

Altered locomotion and anxiety after exposure to SiO2 nanoparticles in larval zebrafish by Pauline Y Shen, Jiaze Wu, Gavin Pu, Kai Huang, Qian Lin

“…Here, we used silica nanoparticles (SiO2 NP) as a model to study the neurotoxicity of nanomedicine, based on their general features and functionalities. Using the light/dark preference behavioral assays of larval zebrafish, we focused on the neurotoxic consequences of exposure to an array of low concentrations of SiO2 NP, which reflected real-world conditions compared to previous studies, and examined the effect of different exposure durations. …”

Alkali and Silane Treated Ramie Yarn Fiber for 3D-Printed Filament Composite Material Reinforcement by Lilis Safitri, Sutikno Sutikno, Putu Suwarta

“…This study explores the impact of alkali using sodium hydroxide (NaOH 5%) and silane using 3-(Aminopropyl) trimethoxy silane (APTES 1% and 3%) treatments on the chemical structure and crystallinity index of ramie yarn fiber (<i>Boehmeria nivea</i>). Alkali treatment effectively removes non-cellulosic impurities, resulting in an improved crystalline structure, while silane treatment modifies the fiber surface, introducing functional groups that alter its chemical structure. …”
