Background
The extent to which digital media use by adolescents contributes to poor mental health, or vice-versa, remains unclear. The purpose of the present study is to clarify the strength and direction of associations between adolescent internet use and the development of depression symptoms using a longitudinal modeling approach. We also examine whether associations differ for boys and girls.
MethodsData are drawn from (N = 1547) participants followed for the Quebec longitudinal Study of Child Development (QLSCD 1998–2020). Youth self-reported internet use in terms of the average hours of use per week at the ages of 13, 15, and 17. Youth also self-reported depression symptoms at the same ages.
ResultsAfter testing sex-invariance, random intercepts cross-lagged panel models stratified by sex, revealed that internet use by girls was associated with significant within-person (time-varying) change in depression symptoms. Girl's internet use at age 13 was associated with increased depression symptoms at age 15 (ß = 0.12) and internet use at age 15 increased depression at age 17 (ß = 0.10). For boys, internet use was not associated with significant time varying change in depression symptoms.
ConclusionsThe present findings support the hypothesis that internet use by adolescents can represent a significant risk factor for the development of depressive symptoms, particularly in girls.

Background:
While the incidence of pregnancy has increased among individuals with adult CHD, little has been described about considerations and experiences of patients with adult CHD regarding pregnancy.
Objective:We aimed to explore patients’ motivations, concerns, and decision-making processes regarding pregnancy.
Methods:In April 2019–January 2020, we conducted in-depth telephone interviews with patients (n = 25) with simple, moderate, or complex adult CHD, who received prenatal care at the University of Washington during 2010–2019 and experienced a live birth. Transcripts were analysed using thematic analysis.
Results:Participants described motivations for pregnancy as both internal desires (motherhood, marriage fulfillment, biological connection, fetal personhood, self-efficacy) and external drivers (family or community), as well as concerns for the health and survival of themselves and the fetus. Factors that enabled their decision to maintain a pregnancy included having a desire that outweighed their perceived risk, using available data to guide their decision, planning for contingencies and knowing their beliefs about termination, plus having a trusted healthcare team, social support, and resources. Factors that led to insurmountable risk in subsequent pregnancies included desire having been fulfilled by the first pregnancy, compounding risk with age and additional pregnancies, new responsibility to an existing child, and reduced healthcare team and social support.
Conclusions:Understanding individuals’ motivations and concerns, and how they weigh their decisions to become or remain pregnant, can help clinicians better support patients with adult CHD considering pregnancy. Clinician education on patient experiences is warranted.

In the absence of partisan ownership of an issue, what factors shape public preferences for federal, state and local policy action? The Zika virus provides a unique context in which to examine this question, as it is a new threat to public health in the United States and lacks clear partisan ownership. We examine (1) which Zika policies do citizens support, (2) at which level(s) of government and (3) what factors explain citizen assignment of policy responsibility to different levels of government? Using nationally representative survey data, we find that the three most popular policy responses to Zika are travel warnings, research funding and public education, with the federal government being the preferred policy actor. In the absence of clear partisan issue ownership, we find that Republicans are significantly more likely to prefer state policy action, while partisanship has no impact on public preferences for federal or local policy action.

We obtained radiocarbon (14C) dates with accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) of vascular plant samples and a charcoal sample collected from peat deposits near the prehistoric village site informally designated CR-03 on Carlisle Island in the Islands of Four Mountains group, Alaska, to determine the eruption age of the CR-02 tephra. A fine vitric ash erupted from Okmok caldera, Umnak Island (ca. 2 ka BP) was also discovered in the bog. The ages of the CR-02 tephra and Okmok II ash are estimated to be 1050 and 2000 cal BP, respectively. Because both tephras are distinctive and widespread, these are important chronostratigraphic markers for archaeological sites in this island group. The 14C dates obtained from this bog are 800 years younger than the dates of the charcoal fragments from cultural layers in the Unit 3 of prehistoric village site CR-02 (AMK-0003).

Because horsenettle and tall ironweed are difficult to control in cool-season grass pastures, research was conducted in Tennessee and Kentucky in 2010 and 2011 to examine the efficacy of aminocyclopyrachlor on these weeds. Aminocyclopyrachlor was evaluated at 49 and 98 g ai ha−1 alone and in mixtures with 2,4-D amine at 371 and 742 g ae ha−1. Aminopyralid was also included as a comparison treatment at 88 g ai ha−1. Treatments were applied at three POST timings to horsenettle and two POST timings to tall ironweed. By 1 yr after treatment (YAT) horsenettle was controlled 74% with aminocyclopyrachlor plus 2,4-D applied late POST (LPOST) at 98 + 742 g ha−1. By 1 YAT, tall ironweed was controlled ≥ 93% by aminocyclopyrachlor applied early POST (EPOST) or LPOST, at rates as low as 49 g ha−1. Similar control was achieved with aminopyralid applied LPOST. Both aminocyclopyrachlor and aminopyralid were found to reduce horsenettle and tall ironweed biomass the following year. Moreover, all LPOST applications of aminocyclopyrachlor alone or in mixtures with 2,4-D prevented regrowth of tall ironweed at 1 YAT. Based on these studies, a LPOST herbicide application in August or September when soil moisture is adequate is recommended for control of horsenettle and tall ironweed in cool-season grass pastures.

Field stars provide important constraints for the late stages of stars' angular momentum evolution. We measured rotation periods ranging from 0.1 to 150 days for approximately 450 mid-to-late M dwarfs using photometry from the MEarth transiting planet survey. We use parallaxes, proper motions, and radial velocities to calculate galactic kinematics for these solar neighborhood M dwarfs. The velocity dispersions increase towards longer rotation periods, indicating that there is a relationship between rotation and age for these stars.

Using spectroscopic observations and photometric light curves of 280 nearby M dwarfs from the MEarth exoplanet transit survey, we examine the relationships between magnetic activity (quantified by Hα emission), rotation period, and stellar age (derived from three-dimensional space velocities). Although we have known for decades that a large fraction of mid-late-type M dwarfs are magnetically active, it was not clear what role rotation played in the magnetic field generation (and subsequent chromospheric heating). Previous attempts to investigate the relationship between magnetic activity and rotation in mid-late-type M dwarfs were hampered by the limited number of M dwarfs with measured rotation periods (and the fact that vsini measurements only probe rapid rotation). However, the photometric data from the MEarth survey allows us to probe a wide range of rotation periods for hundreds of M dwarf stars (from less than one to over 100 days). Over all M spectral types we find that magnetic activity decreases with longer rotation periods, including late-type, fully convective M dwarfs. We find that the most magnetically active (and hence, most rapidly rotating) stars are consistent with a kinematically young population, while slow-rotators are less active or inactive and appear to belong to an older, dynamically heated stellar population.

The aim of this study was to measure the effects of 12 weeks of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) supplementation on body composition, RER, RMR, blood lipid profiles, insulin sensitivity and appetite in exercising, normal-weight persons. In this double-blind, randomised, controlled trial, sixty-two non-obese subjects (twenty-five men, thirty-seven women) received either 3·9 g/d CLA or 3·9 g high-oleic acid sunflower oil for 12 weeks. Prior to and after 12 weeks of supplementation, oral glucose tolerance, blood lipid concentrations, body composition (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and computerised tomography scans), RMR, resting and exercising RER and appetite were measured. There were no significant effects of CLA on body composition or distribution, RMR, RER or appetite. During the oral glucose tolerance tests, mean plasma insulin concentrations (0, 30, 120 min) were significantly lower (P = 0·04) in women who supplemented with CLA (24·3 (sd 9·7) to 20·4 (sd 8·5) μU/ml) compared to high-oleic acid sunflower oil control (23·7 (sd 9·8) to 26·0 (sd 8·8) μU/ml). Serum NEFA levels in response to oral glucose were attenuated in both men and women in the CLA (P = 0·001) compared to control group. However, serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol concentrations decreased in both groups and HDL-cholesterol concentrations decreased in women over 12 weeks (P = 0·001, P = 0·02, P = 0·02, respectively). In conclusion, mixed-isomer CLA supplementation had a favourable effect on serum insulin and NEFA response to oral glucose in non-obese, regularly exercising women, but there were no CLA-specific effects on body composition, energy expenditure or appetite.

Summary
THE LITERATURE of the late Old High German period is characterized by the fractured nature of the tradition. Between Otfrid von Weissenburg (ca. 800–ca. 867) and Notker of St. Gallen (ca. 950–1022), who dominates the end of the OHG period, and who was probably the most prolific author of period as a whole, there is almost a century to which no substantial text of certain date can be assigned. Moreover, after Notker's death, there is a similar forty-year lacuna in the evidence for German-language production before Williram of Ebersberg (ca. 1015– 1085) and his paraphrase of the biblical Song of Songs (ca. 1060), the Physiologus (ca. 1070), the Ezzolied (ca. 1065), the Annolied (ca. 1085) and the eschatological prose piece Himmel und Hölle (Heaven and Hell, ca. 1070–80). Indeed, it is only from the twelfth century on that literature in German begins to flourish in what Horst Dieter Schlosser calls the Early Middle High German Renaissance. Of course, much may have been lost, but, in view of the fact that Latin manuscripts survive from the same period, admittedly fewer than one might expect in comparison with earlier centuries, it is unlikely that the absence of German writing can be attributed solely to the ravages of time.

Summary
THE ORIGINS OF GERMAN LITERATURE lie in the oral tradition of the pre-literary period but the origins of German literacy are to be found in the Latin literary culture of the post-Roman world. Indeed, a division between primarily oral German and primarily written Latin, and essentially regional German contrasting with supra-regional Latin, is a defining feature of German literary and linguistic history from the beginnings of writing in German in the middle of the eighth century to the dawn of the early modern period in the middle of the fourteenth. Yet another three hundred years would elapse before German finally supplanted Latin as the dominant written language in Germany in the 1680s.
At the beginning of the Old High German period (ca. 750–ca. 1050), the Latin context is so pervasive that no text can be fully understood, or even read aloud with any pretence to authenticity, without reference to it. Despite the fact that Old High German and Latin are both Indo-European languages with a large body of cognate vocabulary (for example family terms such as father, brother and mother — Old High German fater, bruoder, muoter are cognate with Latin pater, frater, mater, and so on.), as well as some striking grammatical parallels, Old High German and Latin developed very different phonological systems, so that, although the Latin alphabet was used to write Old High German, some ingenuity is required on the part of modern scholars to reconstruct how the language might have been pronounced.

Recent calls for public sector reform advocate reinvention, deregulation, reengineering, outsourcing, and privatization to address deficiencies in the classic bureaucratic model and to improve government performance. Reform efforts that seek to capitalize on the advantages offered by the three sectors-public, private, and voluntary-include experiments in public-private policy partnerships. Experience with coop- erative undertakings between the state and for-profit or third-sector service providers spans the last three decades. This book examines the pros and cons of these public-private policy partnerships, isolates the determinants of success or failure across policy spheres, and identifies the circumstances under which cross-sector partnering should be promoted or avoided.

A number of excellent studies of the U.S.-Mexican border have indicated that the border is occasionally a barrier but more often a permeable membrane through which goods, services, and people can filter. Employment practices and reciprocal trade across the border, together with tourism, have increased the need for policy cooperation among the jurisdictionally distinct but functionally integrated border communities. Our study represents an exploratory effort to find out how border cities are responding to this imperative of greater policy cooperation despite the presence of an international boundary. We selected the cities of Laredo and Nuevo Laredo for our first analysis of policy cooperation because our preliminary investigations of twin cities had persuaded us that relations between the Laredos were numerous, complex, and friendly. The two cities were obviously interdependent; the incentives to achieve a cooperative community appeared to be strong.
