AbstractUsing survey, we discuss how climate and environmental issues awareness affects residents’ low carbon use behaviour. The results are following. Firstly, climate and environmental issues awareness positively affects residents’ low carbon use. Secondly, perceived effectiveness has mediate effect on the relationship between climate and environmental issues awareness and low carbon use behaviour partly. Thirdly, perceived value has negative moderate effect on the relationship between climate and environmental issues awareness and low carbon use conduct. The results of this study show that when residents feel higher perceived value about their low carbon consumption, they will engage in low carbon use even with lower climate and environmental issues awareness. It tells us that we should treat the residents differently with classification when advocate low carbon use. Specifically, there are some product and service in which consumers can gain high perceived value if the residents frugally use them with high efficiency. And we need to make effort to the following things: we improve the perceived value with hard working, and on the other hand, we make enough effort to enable the residents to deeply experience the perceived value via multiple means.

This paper analyzes the relationship between the number of Twitter and Mendeley readers with the article’s subject, publisher, journal, and title length. It also looks at which country has the greatest number of readers to see if researchers can garner more visibility by publishing an article relevant to issues in those countries. The purpose of this report is to help researchers improve the visibility and impact value of their research. The data was gathered from 550,000 scientific research papers published between January 1st and July 1st of 2016. Python’s built-in JSON library was used to extract the number of Twitter and Mendeley readers, as well as the article count for each factor. The correlation between readers per article and each factor was then visualized using bubble graphs, linear regression models, and scatter plots. This paper concludes that the length of the title is the strongest factor affecting readership. In particular, titles with lengths between 51 and 90 characters have the greatest number of readers. Moreover, articles relevant to issues in countries with a higher GDP have the highest overall readership. On the other hand, the publisher and the journal did not have a significant effect on readership, while the subject of the article had a moderate effect on readership.

The Relationship

The Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC) does not only entail a set of specific disarmament obligations. It also addresses how chemical weapons and chemical weapons facilities are to be eliminated, including the elimination of weapons abandoned on other states’ territory. It goes without saying that in the context of implementing these obligations, apart from the details for an environmentally sound disposal, multilateral environmental obligations will have to be taken into account. Although at least some provisions of the CWC relate to environmental issues, the Convention is silent on the question of the standards to be applied. In that respect, the chapter has a closer look at the relationship between environmental protection on the one hand, and chemical weapons destruction as the primary objective of the CWC on the other hand. The chapter addresses the cases of ordinary CWC-based elimination, but also the specific circumstances of the Syrian case.

The impact of the deteriorating environmental issues on human survival and constraints on social development promotes awakening of environmental awareness, while the expanding of low-carbon consumption market and low-carbon technology revolution triggered by low-carbon economy model, has established a new direction for the garment industry, that is, low-carbon fashion. In order to comply with the objectives of environmental sustainable development, exploiting environmental and low-carbon textile materials has become one of the trends for textiles in 21st century. Regarding carbon materials as the core, this paper firstly discusses the concept and research significance of low-carbon materials, then enumerates several new low-carbon textile materials’ performance and applications: hemp fiber, colored cotton fabric, bamboo fiber, chitin fiber, etc. Through these listed above, it indicates the trend for low-carbon textile materials.

This paper proposes the test of a theoretical model presenting trust and perceived value as loyalty antecedents, and to verify the moderate effect of student involvement with the course on the relationship among constructs. In order to do so, the model behavior was tested in a sample of 414 cases. The outcomes suggest that the intensity of the model constructs (trust, value and loyalty) is significantly higher in students that demonstrate higher involvement with the course, i.e., these subjects have higher trust on the employees and on the institution, they perceive higher value in the course and they are more loyal to the institution. From the application of multi-group analysis in Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the conclusion is that there exists stability of the proposed relationship in the theoretical model, once the outcomes do not indicate significant invariances between higher and lower involvement groups. As a result, the involvement seems not to be a moderate construct, once the models have similar statistic behavior, but an impact construct, as the model constructs presented statistically higher averages for the highest involvement group.

The Relationship

This study aimed to analyze the relationship between busyness, tenure, and the frequency of CEO meetings and corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure. This study used 624 observations from 78 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) database for the 2010–2018 period. This study indicated that companies with busy CEOs or CEOs with long tenure produce fewer CSR disclosures. On the other hand, companies with CEOs who frequently attend board meetings generate more CSR disclosures because they can absorb a lot of useful information to address the changing social and environmental issues. Companies can limit the activities and tenure of the CEO and increase the awareness of the CEO to attend board meetings to encourage the firm’s sustainability. Companies with busy CEOs and long tenure result in less CSR disclosure. Furthermore, the frequency of CEO meetings can enhance CSR disclosure.

The Relationship

Background: The relationship between suicidal thinking and adolescent dating violence has not been previously explored in a sample of adolescent abortion patients. Aims: This paper highlights a study where the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking was examined in a sample of 120 young women ages 14–21 seeking to terminate an unintended pregnancy. Methods: The Multidimensional Adolescent Assessment Scale and the Conflict in Adolescent Relationships Scale was used to gather information about psychosocial problems and dating violence so that the relationship between the two problems could be examined, while controlling for the other psychosocial problems. Results: The results suggest that dating violence was related to severity of suicidal thinking, and that the magnitude of this relationship was moderated by the severity of problems with aggression. Conclusions: Specifically, as the severity of participant’s general problems with aggression increased, the magnitude of the relationship between dating violence and severity of suicidal thinking increased. Limitations of the study and implications for practice are discussed.

Over Time

When people are told that their negative memories are worse than other people’s, do they later remember those events differently? We asked participants to recall a recent negative memory then, 24 h later, we gave some participants feedback about the emotional impact of their event – stating it was more or less negative compared to other people’s experiences. One week later, participants recalled the event again. We predicted that if feedback affected how participants remembered their negative experiences, their ratings of the memory’s characteristics should change over time. That is, when participants are told that their negative event is extremely negative, their memories should be more vivid, recollected strongly, and remembered from a personal perspective, compared to participants in the other conditions. Our results provide support for this hypothesis. We suggest that external feedback might be a potential mechanism in the relationship between negative memories and psychological well-being.

The Relationship

SummaryThe relationship between haematocrit and cardiovascular risk factors, particularly blood pressure and blood lipids, has been examined in detail in a large prospective study of 7735 middle-aged men drawn from general practices in 24 British towns. The analyses are restricted to the 5494 men free of any evidence of ischaemic heart disease at screening.Smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol intake and lung function (FEV1) were factors strongly associated with haematocrit levels independent of each other. Age showed a significant but small independent association with haematocrit. Non-manual workers had slightly higher haematocrit levels than manual workers; this difference increased considerably and became significant after adjustment for the other risk factors. Diabetics showed significantly lower levels of haematocrit than non-diabetics. In the univariate analysis, haematocrit was significantly associated with total serum protein (r = 0*18), cholesterol (r = 0.16), triglyceride (r = 0.15), diastolic blood pressure (r = 0.17) and heart rate (r = 0.14); all at p <0.0001. A weaker but significant association was seen with systolic blood pressure (r = 0.09, p <0.001). These relationships remained significant even after adjustment for age, smoking, body mass index, physical activity, alcohol intake, lung function, presence of diabetes, social class and for each of the other biological variables; the relationship with systolic blood pressure was considerably weakened. No association was seen with blood glucose and HDL-cholesterol. This study has shown significant associations between several lifestyle characteristics and the haematocrit and supports the findings of a significant relationship between the haematocrit and blood lipids and blood pressure. It emphasises the role of the haematocrit in assessing the risk of ischaemic heart disease and stroke in individuals, and the need to take haematocrit levels into account in determining the importance of other cardiovascular risk factors.
