9 %) and internalizing behaviours (8.6 %, 7.4 %) among adolescents are reported. Predictors of abnormal behaviours per paternal reports included lower social class and poor paternal control. Being a male adolescent increased the odds of total difficulties and externalizing problems. Favourable maternal attitude, good maternal warmth and control predicted the reduced likelihood of total difficulties and externalizing behaviours per maternal reports. Paternal control and maternal warmth and control were found to reduce the likelihood of internalizing behaviours among adolescents. CONCLUSION Maternal attitude, paternal control and maternal warmth and control dimensions emerged as significant predictors of total difficulties, externalizing and internalizing behavioural problems among adolescents. V.BACKGROUND Recovery from dissociative identity disorder (DID) is associated with the process of integration, which includes an increasing sense of self-cohesion and ownership over one's own emotions. Emotion perception is a construction based on interplay between stored knowledge (past experience), and incoming sensory inputs, suggesting changes in emotion perception might occur at different levels of integration - but this remains unexplored. Therefore, we examined the association between integration, psychiatric symptoms, and facial emotion perception. We hypothesized higher integration would be associated with fewer psychiatric symptoms, and differences in the perception of emotions. METHODS Participants were 82 respondents to a cross-sectional web-based study. All participants met self-report cutoff scores for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and DID using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 and Multiscale Dissociation Inventory, respectively. Participants completed a psychometrically-matched test of facial emotion perception for anger, fear, and happiness called the Belmont Emotion Sensitivity Test. Participants also completed the Beck Depression Inventory II, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, and Integration Measure, a validated measure of self-cohesion. RESULTS Higher integration scores were associated with lower depression, PTSD, and autobiographical memory disturbance scores.  https://www.selleckchem.com/products/vt104.html  Repeated-measures ANCOVA confirmed integration significantly interacted with emotion category on the facial emotion perception task. Specifically, higher integration scores were associated with greater accuracy to fearful and angry faces. CONCLUSIONS While acknowledging the limitations of a cross-sectional design, our results suggest that the process of integration is associated with fewer psychiatric symptoms, and more accurate facial emotion perception. This supports treatment guidelines regarding integration as a therapeutic goal for DID. A novel free-standing electrode consisting of nickel phosphide (Ni2P) nanoparticles on nitrogen and phosphorus co-doped porous carbon (NPC) are synthesized on carbon cloth (CC). Polyaniline (PANI) and nickel (Ni) are sequentially electro-deposited on the surface of CC, which are then transformed into NPC and Ni2P by an in-situ carbonization-phosphorization combined process. The electrode surface is distributed with large amounts of uniform macropores, which could expose more active sites and enhance the interfacial exchange with the electrolyte. The Ni2P@NPC@CC electrode delivers early overpotentials of 92 and 280 mV vs. Reversible Hydrogen Electrode (RHE) at 10 mA cm-2 for hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in alkaline condition, respectively. The electrolytic cell with Ni2P@NPC@CC electrode both as anode and cathode can achieve 10 mA cm-2 at a small bias of 1.54 V for the overall water splitting. Density functional theory (DFT) calculation indicates that combination with Ni2P and NPC can decrease Gibbs free energy for H* adsorption (ΔGH*) and increase charge density on the interface, thus could lead to the enhanced activity for water splitting. The free-standing and noble-metal free Ni2P@NPC@CC electrode is stable, highly active and cost effective, thus have great potential for the hydrogen production. It is a big challenge to develop membrane fouling-resistant materials for long-term water filtration applications in order to reduce the operating cost. Herein, for the first time, we have proposed the utilization of lactate salts-based polyurea additives as surface modifiers (SMs) to endow anti-microbial and anti-protein activities which increase the life of poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) membrane filters in terms of attaining anti-fouling properties for prolonged and stable water flux in water treatment. Membrane fouling was examined by taking into account the important influencing factors such as surface hydrophilicity and functional lactate groups present on the surface. The results showed that the surface hydrophilicity was enhanced leading to higher water flux of the PVDF membrane blended with sodium lactate-based polyurea (Na-PVDF) (174.2 L m-2 h-1), which was almost 12 times higher than that of the neat PVDF membrane. The fabricated SMs-blended PVDF membranes displayed satisfactory rejection and fouling resistant performance for the bovine serum albumin (BSA) molecules. The PVDF membrane blended with zinc lactate-based polyurea (Zn-PVDF) ensured effective anti-microbial activity against bacteria and fungi. Besides, the SMs-blended PVDF membranes displayed a higher zone of inhibition (ZOI) and higher colony reduction than the neat PVDF membranes in the anti-microbial test. The long-term water filtration test carried out after 200 days showed that PVDF membranes blended with SMs retained more than 90% of the original water flux, suggesting the long-term stability of SMs in the PVDF matrix. Therefore, the synergistic effect of SMs can be considered as an important life enhancer of polymeric membrane materials in the field of membrane technology. Two-dimensional (2D) graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) nanoplates (CNNP) have become a hot research topic in photocatalysis due to their small thickness and large specific surface area that favors charge transport and catalytic surface reactions. However, the wide application of 2D g-C3N4 nanoplates prepared by ordinary methods suffers from increased band gaps with a poor solar harvesting capability caused by the strong quantum confinement effect and reduced conjugation distance. In this paper, a facile approach of exfoliation and the following fast thermal treatment of the bulk g-C3N4 is proposed to obtain a porous few-layered g-C3N4 with nitrogen defects. Due to the preferable crystal, textural, optical and electronic structures, the as-obtained porous CNNP demonstrated a significantly improved photocatalytic activity towards water splitting than the bulk g-C3N4 and even the 3 nm-thick CNNP obtained by sugar-assisted exfoliation of the bulk g-C3N4. The difference in the enhancement factors between the H2O splitting and organic decomposition has revealed the effect of N defects.
