    Abstract Introduction: The present investigation examined the stability of the twofold multidimensional structure of academic self-concepts (ASCs) in three domains, namely Chinese, math, and general school using four-wave data collected over 2 years among 552 Chinese secondary school students.
    Method: Adopting both a within-network and a between-network approach, confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) and factor correlations were performed in Mplus 8.2.
    Results: The within-network results showed that CFA models wherein competence and affect dimensions were conflated generated unacceptable fit. In contrast, the CFAs in which competence and affect were modeled as separate latent factors consistently produced superior fit to the data. The between-network results demonstrated that in the Chinese and math domains and across the four-time waves, the competence components were more strongly related to the achievements in matching domains than the affect components were. Furthermore, both the competence and affect components of ASCs and achievements were positively correlated in the non-matching domains, which were somewhat contradictory to the internal/external frame of reference model predicting zero or negative relations.
    Discussion: Such results seem to suggest more involvement in social comparison than in dimensional comparison of Chinese students, which might be attributed to the collectivistic Chinese culture and the common phenomenon of academic social comparisons among Chinese adolescents in schools.

    Abstract We will consider four answers to the question about whether the concept of personality is capacious enough to incorporate virtues. The simplest is that the concept of personality encompasses all individual variations in persons. It follows from this answer that virtues would, as individual differences, be incorporated into personality. Unfortunately, definitions of personality do not always invoke such capaciousness, and, in practice, most scholars limit their work to the Big Five or HEXACO models, which do not incorporate virtues. The second answer is that the concept of personality incorporates all trait or dimension level variations across persons, with some exceptions, such as intelligence, attachment style, and psychopathy. Following this definition, virtues, as traits, would be incorporated into such a broad definition of personality. Unfortunately, the boundaries for inclusion and exclusion into personality are fuzzy in this case, and there is no extant definition of personality that solves this problem. The third answer is that personality traits and virtue traits are similar, but distinct concepts. This article presents conceptual and empirical arguments for this similarity in seeing traits as a higher order concept that includes the species of personality and the species of virtue. The fourth answer is that personality and virtue are unrelated. This answer is dismissed because there are many studies that indicate that they are correlated, and few advocate such a clear differentiation. The conclusion is that, pending conceptual and empirical results indicating otherwise, the genus-species relationship seems most fitting where traits are a genus, and personality and virtue are each a species within that genus.

    Abstract Background: This study examined the impact of anxiety and depression symptoms during the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic on the behavioral, cognitive, and emotional changes of the Czech population.
    Methods: The research sample (
    Results: The results showed that increased symptoms of anxiety and depression were significantly linked to feelings of loneliness, helplessness, reduced quality of relationship with a partner, higher probabilities of alcohol abuse, food consumption, and contemplation of existential questions. Higher symptoms of anxiety were associated with feelings of being threatened. Higher symptoms of depression symptoms increased tobacco abuse.
    Conclusion: During the first stage of the COVID-19 pandemic, higher symptoms of anxiety and depression among Czech citizens were associated with behavioral, cognitive, and emotional changes.

The time frame searched was from 1960 to October 2021. Any published manuscripts that were concerned with sedative or anaesthetic drugs administered systemically in the dog and tear production was evaluated. Low doses of α₂-adrenoceptor agonists, neuroleptics, benzodiazepines, opioids, propofol or alfaxalone administered alone have no clinically significant effect on aqueous tear production in healthy dogs measured by the Schirmer tear test I (STT-I). Intramuscular injection of ketamine increases STT-I values. Higher doses of α₂-adrenoceptor agonists and combinations of anaesthetics, including inhaled anaesthetics, always clinically significantly decrease tear production.

    Abstract Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a common human neurobiological trait that is related to many areas of human life. This trait has recently received increased public interest. However, solid scientific research on SPS is lagging behind. Progress in this area is also hindered by a lack of comprehensive research tools suitable for a rapid assessment of SPS. Thus, the aim of this study was to offer a newly developed tool, the Sensory Processing Sensitivity Questionnaire (SPSQ), and to assess its psychometric properties and associations with emotional and relational variables measured during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. We found the tool to have good psychometric characteristics: high temporal stability (

    Abstract Intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil size (PS), and tear production are variables important in maintaining eye homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of methadone on IOP, PS, and tear production measured by Schirmer I tear test (STT-I) in healthy nonpainful dogs. A prospective, randomized, "double-blind" clinical study was performed. A total of 40 healthy conscious client-owned dogs were included in the study. Dogs were allocated randomly to 1 of 3 groups and given intravenous methadone 0.3 mg/kg (Met-IV, n = 15), intramuscular methadone 0.3 mg/kg (Met-IM, n = 15), or saline 0.3 mL/kg (SAL, n = 10). IOP, PS, STT-I, heart rate (HR), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were measured prior to (baseline) and at 2, 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes after drug administration. Data were analyzed using 1-way and 2-way repeated measures ANOVA or their nonparametric equivalents (P < .05). No significant differences in IOP and PS within or between the groups were detected. In the Met-IV group, the STT-I decreased significantly after 30 minutes (P = .025), however, the values remained within the physiological ranges. In Met-IV group, HR decreased significantly at 5, 10, 20, and 30 minutes, respectively. No other significant differences were observed. Methadone administered at a dose of 0.3 mg/kg intravenously or intramuscularly seems to cause within 30 minutes no clinically important effect on IOP, PS, and STT-I in healthy conscious nonpainful dogs without ocular abnormalities.

    Abstract The paper presents a novel methodology to build surrogate models of complicated functions by an active learning-based sequential decomposition of the input random space and construction of localized polynomial chaos expansions, referred to as domain adaptive localized polynomial chaos expansion (DAL-PCE). The approach utilizes sequential decomposition of the input random space into smaller sub-domains approximated by low-order polynomial expansions. This allows approximation of functions with strong nonlinearties, discontinuities, and/or singularities. Decomposition of the input random space and local approximations alleviates the Gibbs phenomenon for these types of problems and confines error to a very small vicinity near the non-linearity. The global behavior of the surrogate model is therefore significantly better than existing methods as shown in numerical examples. The whole process is driven by an active learning routine that uses the recently proposed $\Theta$ criterion to assess local variance contributions. The proposed approach balances both \emph{exploitation} of the surrogate model and \emph{exploration} of the input random space and thus leads to efficient and accurate approximation of the original mathematical model. The numerical results show the superiority of the DAL-PCE in comparison to (i) a single global polynomial chaos expansion and (ii) the recently proposed stochastic spectral embedding (SSE) method developed as an accurate surrogate model and which is based on a similar domain decomposition process. This method represents general framework upon which further extensions and refinements can be based, and which can be combined with any technique for non-intrusive polynomial chaos expansion construction.
