Revisiting the trustworthiness–trust relationship: Exploring the differential predictors of cognition- and affect-based trust

We seek to develop a better understanding of interpersonal trust by bridging the gap between two heretofore distinct paradigms of trust. One paradigm views trust in terms of two dimensions: cognition- and affect-based. The other paradigm views trust as being distinct from trustworthiness, which has four dimensions: ability, behavioral integrity, benevolence, and values congruence. Currently, theoretical consensus is lacking about the antecedents of cognition- and affect-based trust in the first paradigm that incorporates insights from research on trustworthiness in the second paradigm. We show that this lack of consensus is problematic for internal knowledge development and external knowledge expansion. Thus, we join both paradigms by theorizing that ability and behavioral integrity are the most important predictors of cognition-based trust, whereas benevolence and values congruence are the most important predictors of affect-based trust. Across two samples, we found that our predictions were largely supported. Based on relative weights analysis, ability and behavioral integrity were more important than values congruence in predicting cognition-based trust, and benevolence was more important than ability in predicting affect-based trust. Furthermore, we found evidence that these relationships were largely robust to changes in the referent of analysis.     

基于EEG的有限空间检修工脑疲劳特性研究

为了探究有限空间内检修工在高温高湿状态下的脑疲劳特征,采用对照与模拟有限空间作业环境相结合的方法,对作业人员脑电波变化进行监测,利用傅里叶变换对原波信号进行时频转换,提取相对频率、重心频率等特征参数。研究结果表明:在高温高湿的有限空间环境中,人体脑波功率变化幅度明显变大;在进入疲劳状态时有限空间环境的脑波功率低于对照组;高频的β波在高温高湿环境中减少的比例较大,平均下降7.1%;脑波重心频率由8 Hz降为6 Hz,平均下降11.3%,由α波变为θ波,大脑活动进入疲劳状态。说明有限空间的高温高湿环境对人体脑疲劳具有明显影响,可用于脑电智能穿戴监测设备监测工人脑疲劳状况。     

近53年宜昌市霾的演变特征及气象因子诊断

利用1955～2007年宜昌地面观测站相对湿度、能见度资料,2001～2007年08时高空探测规定层气温资料,在对霾记录进行订正处理的基础上,研究了霾天气的气候特征以及霾与地面风向风速、地面气压场、地面气温、连续不降水日数以及高空逆温层、等温层的关系。结果表明,宜昌霾天气从70年代中后期开始迅速增加,从80年代至今每年的霾日数基本在125 d以上;冬季和初春是宜昌霾天气多发的季节,尤其是1、12月几乎有一半的时间会出现霾;5～9月降水季节由于雨水的冲刷作用,宜昌霾天气出现的较少;气压场的减弱、地面气温的增加等气象因子有利于霾天气的出现;连续无降水日数比较多的月份,对应地该月的霾日一般也比较多。同时,研究也初步揭示了近些年宜昌霾日增多除了与城市工业快速发展、生态环境遭到破坏,从而使滞留在空气中的污染物增多有关外,还与宜昌静风多、风速小,低空常存在逆温层、等温层的气候特点,以及宜昌的盛行风方向多化工企业这些因素有关.

Growth and photosynthetic responses to copper in wild grapevine

The present study evaluates the tolerance and accumulation potential of Vitis vinifera ssp. sylvestris under moderate and high external Cu levels. A greenhouse experiment was conducted in order to investigate the effects of a range of external Cu concentrations (0–23 mmol L⁻¹) on growth and photosynthetic performance by measuring gas exchange, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and photosynthetic pigments. We also measured the total copper, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, calcium, magnesium, iron, potassium and sodium concentrations in the plant tissues. All the experimental plants survived even with external Cu concentrations as high as 23 mmol L⁻¹ (1500 mg Cu L⁻¹), although the excess of metal resulted in a biomass reduction of 35%. The effects of Cu on growth were linked to a reduction in net photosynthesis, which may be related to the effect of the high concentration of the metal on photosynthetic electron transport. V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris survived with leaf Cu concentrations as high as 80 mg kg⁻¹ DW and growth parameters were unaffected by leaf tissue concentrations of 35 mg Cu kg⁻¹ DW. The results of our study indicate that plants of V. vinifera ssp. sylvestris from the studied population are more tolerant to Cu than the commercial varieties of grapevine that have been studied in the literature, and could constitute a basis for the genetic improvement of Cu tolerance in grapevine.     

乌鲁木齐冬季气溶胶散射吸收特性

采用积分式浑浊度仪于2012年1月在乌鲁木齐市中区和市北区对气溶胶的散射系数和吸收系数进行连续观测,分析了市中区与市北区气溶胶散射系数和吸收系数的变化特征,结合同期的相关气象资料对变化特征进行了讨论。结果表明,市中区和市北区气溶胶的散射系数、吸收系数具有相同的变化趋势。总体上呈"W"型;峰值分别出现在0:00和12:00前后,谷值则出现在5:00和17:00前后。散射系数远大于吸收系数,说明大气气溶胶的消光作用主要由散射作用完成。相对湿度与散射系数、吸收系数不具有显著相关性,而风速对散射系数、吸收系数影响较大,且对市北区的影响大于市中区。     

环境湿度对PM2.5手工测量(重量法)的影响

为了解天平室环境湿度对PM_(2.5)手工称重的影响,利用滤膜自动称重系统,在45%、50%、55%3个环境相对湿度条件下对同一组滤膜进行称重。结果显示:45%、55%湿度条件下测量的大部分滤膜质量与50%基准湿度条件下滤膜质量绝对差值均超过0.04 mg,且随着滤膜质量即PM_(2.5)浓度的增加,绝对差值显著上升,难以满足手工称重规范中的要求。PM_(2.5)手工测量浓度在150μg/m~3以下时,3种湿度条件下测量结果的标准偏差保持在2μg/m~3范围之内,而PM_(2.5)手工测量浓度在150μg/m~3以上时,标准偏差超出2μg/m~3范围,且随着浓度升高,标准偏差显著增大,这会给PM_(2.5)的手工测量准确度带来较大影响,说明手工称量环境湿度±5%的允许变化范围并不适合PM_(2.5)平均浓度较高的国家和地区。

Incidence of thyroid disease following exposure to polybrominated biphenyls and polychlorinated biphenyls, Michigan, 1974-2006

Thyroid hormones, which influence body metabolism and development, could be affected by persistent organic pollutants. We sought to examine the relationship between polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and thyroid disease. We employed incidence density sampling to perform a nested case control analysis of the Michigan Long-Term PBB Cohort. Cohort members (n = 3333) were exposed to PBBs through contaminated cattle feed in 1973-1974 and to PCBs through daily life. Those with detectable serum PBB and PCB concentrations at enrollment were categorized into tertiles of PBB and PCB exposure. Case-patients were cohort members answering “Yes” to “Has a healthcare provider ever told you that you had a thyroid problem?” during follow-up interviews; control-patients were cohort members answering “No”. We used odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) to compare odds of thyroid disease by PBB and PCB exposure and by various risk factors. Total cumulative thyroid disease incidence after 33 years was 13.9% among women and 2.6% among men. After adjusting for body mass index, we found no statistically significant differences in odds of any type of thyroid disease among women or men with elevated PBB or PCB exposure. Compared to control-patients, women with thyroid disease had increased odds of being overweight/obese (OR = 2.82, 95% CI: 1.94-4.11) and developing infertility (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.08-2.69), diabetes (OR = 1.61, 95% CI: 1.04-2.51), or arthritis (OR = 1.71, 95% CI: 1.18-2.50) during follow-up. Additional research should explore potential associations between PBBs/PCBs and thyroid disease among children exposed in utero.
