The Possibility of a Sustainable Energy System in 2050: Predictions and Analysis of the Battle between Clean Energy and Fossil Fuels.

Published in: New Presence: The Prague Journal of Central European Affairs, Winter2011 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Anastasiadis, Kyriakos

Abstract

The article focuses on the predictions and analysis on the battle between fossil fuels and renewable energy sources. It cites the study of the Global Scenario Group (GSG) which examines the factors that are difficult to predict such as psychosocial factors, cultural preferences, and social visions. It says that the willingness of individuals and political commitment to invest in a sustainable energy system are the decisive factors in the battle between renewable energy sources and fossil fuels.

While this source is relevant to the topic of adolescent depression and music therapy, it is outdated since it was published in 1999. Current research in mental health is crucial, where recent studies provide the most up-to-date practices and findings.

CRAAP Test: Relevance

Relevance is about determining whether the information is directly applicable to your research question or topic. Academic research typically focuses on specific issues, and irrelevant sources can reduce the quality of your work. Using information that does not specifically address your research question can also lead to misinterpretations or weak arguments. It's important to decide whether a source contributes to your analysis, supports your claims,

or adds depth to your understanding. For instance, a source that is too general or aimed at a different audience (such as the general public instead of scholars) may not provide the level of detail or specificity required for high-level academic work. Ask yourself: Is it scholarly or popular? Is the language simple or technical? Can I find better information somewhere else?

Hmm, not quite. While this is a peer-reviewed academic article published in a reputable journal and directly relevant to the topic of social anxiety in adolescents, it's from Spring 2005. For research about social media's effects on teens, you'll want more current sources that reflect today's digital landscape.

The Companion Effect: Household and Local Context and the Turnout of Young People.

Published in: Journal of Politics, Jul2012 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Fieldhouse, Edward;Cutts, David

Abstract

Models of youth turnout often neglect the importance of the household and local context. Drawing on theories of socialization, contextual effects, and voting as habit, we offer an account of why some young people vote and others do not. Using evidence based on electoral returns from the 2001 British General Election, we find that young people’s participation is particularly sensitive to the presence of other voters in the household. Using survey data, we discount the possibility that the effect is simply attributable to varying levels of political interest and strength of partisan support between households.

Hmm, not quite. While this article is current (2022) and on-topic regarding marijuana's health effects, it's published in Congressional Digest rather than a peer-reviewed academic journal. For academic research, you'll want to find sources that have gone through a rigorous peer review process to make sure it's scientifically accuracte and reliable.

Social Support, Depression, and Anxiety in Female Adolescents: Associations and Profiles.

Published in: Child & Youth Care Forum, Feb2022 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Kelly, Kathleen M.; Malecki, Christine K.

Abstract

Background: Robust research indicates that social support is negatively associated with depression and anxiety. Less work has investigated social support as a network of support across sources like parents and classmates. Past work suggests that sources of support have differential associations with internalizing outcomes. More work exploring the differential associations between each source along with the cumulative network of social support and internalizing symptoms is warranted. Objectives: In a sample of female adolescents, the current study explored (1) what patterns of social support across sources emerged, and (2) how do depressive and anxiety symptoms vary based on those social support patterns?. Method: The study utilized Latent Profile Analysis on a sample of female adolescents from four different high schools (N = 143) to identify patterns of social support across sources. Results: Parent support emerged as a unique, individual predictor of depressive symptoms. Five unique profiles of social support emerged. Profile membership was associated with reports of depression but not with reports of anxiety. Reports of depression differed by profile such that profiles with moderate support from most sources and low support from siblings had the highest levels of depressive symptoms. Conclusions: Social support is associated with symptoms of depression in female adolescents. The study highlights the importance of parent–child relationships for female adolescents and suggests that additional work on sibling support is warranted. The study promotes that the network of social support is an important factor to consider when researching associations between social support and internalizing outcomes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Music-based interventions to reduce internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents: A meta-analysis.

Published in: Journal of Affective Disorders, Sep2017 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Geipel, Josephine; Koenig, Julian; Hillecke, Thomas K; Resch, Franz; +1 more

Abstract

Background: Existing systematic reviews provide evidence that music therapy is an effective intervention in the treatment of children and adolescents with psychopathology. The objective of the present review was to systematically review and quantify the effects of music-based interventions in reducing internalizing symptoms (i.e., depression and anxiety) in children and adolescents using a meta-analytical approach.Methods: Databases and journals were systematically screened for studies eligible for inclusion in meta-analysis on the effects of music-based interventions in reducing internalizing symptoms. A random-effect meta-analysis using standardized mean differences (SMD) was conducted.Results: Five studies were included. Analysis of data from (randomized) controlled trials, yielded a significant main effect (Hedge's g = -0.73; 95%CI [-1.42;-0.04], Z = 2.08, p = 0.04, k = 5), indicating a greater reduction of internalizing symptoms in youth receiving music-based interventions (n = 100) compared to different control group interventions (n = 95).Limitations: The existing evidence is limited to studies of low power and methodological quality. Included studies were highly heterogeneous with respect to the nature of the intervention, the measurements applied, the samples studied, and the study design.Conclusions: Findings indicate that music-based interventions may be efficient in reducing the severity of internalizing symptoms in children and adolescents. While these results are encouraging with respect to the application of music-based intervention, rigorous research is necessary to replicate existing findings and provide a broader base of evidence. More research adopting well controlled study designs of high methodological quality is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The Illusion of a Green Transition in Slovenia by 2050.

Published in: Journal of Mechanical Engineering / Strojniški Vestnik, 2024 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Senegačnik, Andrej; Sekavčnik, Mihael

Abstract

This study analyzes the possibilities of phasing out fossil and nuclear energy sources for Slovenia by 2050. Alternative carbon-free sources include renewable energy sources (RES) i.e. electricity, synthetic fuels and hydrogen from water electrolysis. The model is based on the use of currently mature low-carbon technologies and is adapted to Slovenia's natural conditions. Photovoltaic panels (PV) and hydropower plants are used for the majority of renewable electricity generation. To bridge the winter period with minimal PV production, storage with a pumped storage power plant is planned. One of the assumptions of the national climate strategy has been incorporated into the model, which envisages zero growth in final energy consumption by 2050. The result of the paper is an assessment of what some of the basic characteristics of the Slovenian energy system would look like after the phase-out of fossil and nuclear energy sources. The estimated storage capacity required is 5.1 MWh/capita. Abandoning fossil fuels with the currently mature RES technologies is not realistically feasible for technical and economic reasons.

Review of Transition from Mining 4.0 to 5.0 in Fossil Energy Sources Production.

Published in: Energies (19961073), Aug2023 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Zhironkin, Sergey; Dotsenko, Elena

Abstract

The problem of sustainability of energy production in the context of the expansion of renewable energy cannot be solved without a deep technological modernization of the fossil fuels extraction in line with Industry 4.0. Along with this, the expected transition to the human-centric Industry 5.0 raises the question for researchers: what core technologies of the Mining 4.0 platform will determine its transformation into Mining 5.0 in order to meet the imperative of sustainable development and the dominance of green energy. This review presents a multifaceted overview of Mining 4.0 core technologies, derived from Industry 4.0, such as smart sensors, neural networks, Big Data analytics, Internet of Things, digital twins and artificial intelligence, that form cyber-physical systems for high-performance and complete extraction of fossil energy sources. The review of works in the field of transition to Industry 5.0 is associated with Mining 5.0 core technologies—Cloud Mining, post-mining, biochemical extraction of minerals and production of green hydrogen fuel from fossil hydrocarbons, which is expected after 2050. A conclusion is made about the need for a deep analysis of harmonizing the possibilities for the innovative development of fossil fuel sources and renewable energy for sustainable energy production in the upcoming decades.

Associations between diet quality and migraine headaches: a cross-sectional study.

Published in: Nutritional Neuroscience, Jul2024 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Balali, Arghavan; Karimi, Elham; Kazemi, Maryam; Hadi, Amir; +3 more

Abstract

We evaluated associations between diet quality and migraine outcomes. The current work represented a cross-sectional study on 262 patients with migraine (20–50 y). Diet quality was assessed using the standard healthy eating index 2015 (HEI-2015) and alternative healthy eating index 2010 (AHEI-2010). A validated 168-item food frequency questionnaire was used to assess dietary intake. Migraine outcomes included clinical factors (severity, duration, frequency, and disability related to migraine) and serum nitric oxide (NO). Associations between diet quality indices and migraine outcomes were evaluated using linear regressions, and β and 95% corresponding confidence interval (CI) were reported. HEI-2015 was inversely associated with migraine frequency (β = −4.75, 95% CI: −6.73, −2.76) in patients with the highest HEI scores (third tertile) vs. those with the lowest scores (first tertile) after adjusting for relevant confounders. AHEI-2010 was inversely associated with migraine frequency (β = −3.67, 95% CI: −5.65, −1.69) and migraine-related disability (β = −2.74, 95% CI: −4.79, −0.68) in adjusted models. Also, AHEI-2010 was inversely associated with migraine severity in patients in the second vs. first tertile (β = −0.56; 95% CI: −1.08, −0.05). We detected no associations between diet quality and NO levels (All P > 0.14). Improved diet quality may be associated with favorable migraine outcomes (lower headache frequency, severity, and migraine-related disability). Future studies are required to confirm and delineate the causal mechanisms of our observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: Cannabis legalization has enabled increased consumption in older adults. Age-related mental, physical, and physiological changes may lead to differences in effects of cannabis in older adults compared to younger individuals. Objective: To perform a scoping review to map the evidence regarding the health effects of cannabis use for medical and non-medical purposes in older adults. Methods: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, Embase, PsycINFO, Cochrane Library) were searched for systematic reviews (SRs), randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and non-randomized/observational studies (NRSs) assessing the health effects and associations of cannabis use (medical or non-medical) in adults ≥ 50 years of age. Included studies met age-related inclusion criteria or involved a priori identified health conditions common among older adults. Records were screened using a liberal accelerated approach and data charting was performed independently by two reviewers. Descriptive summaries, structured tables, effect direction plots and bubble plots were used to synthesize study findings. Findings: From 31,393 citations, 133 publications describing 134 unique studies (26 SRs, 36 RCTs, 72 NRSs) were included. Medical cannabis had inconsistent therapeutic effects in specific patient conditions (e.g., end-stage cancer, dementia), with a number of studies suggesting possible benefits while others found no benefit. For medical cannabis, harmful associations outnumbered beneficial, and RCTs reported more negative effects than NRSs. Cannabis use was associated with greater frequencies of depression, anxiety, cognitive impairment, substance use and problematic substance use, accidents/injuries, and acute healthcare use. Studies often were small, did not consistently assess harms, and did not adjust for confounding. Discussion: The effects of medical cannabis are inconsistent within specific patient conditions. For older adults, generally, the available evidence suggests cannabis use may be associated with greater frequencies of mental health issues, substance use, and acute healthcare use, and the benefit-to-risk ratio is unclear. Studies with a balanced assessment of benefits and harms may guide appropriate public health messaging to balance the marketing pressures of cannabis to older adults. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOCIAL ANXIETY AND SOCIAL SUPPORT IN ADOLESCENTS: A TEST OF COMPETING CAUSAL MODELS.

Published in: Adolescence, Spring2005 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Calsyn, Robert J.; Winter, Joel P.; Burger, Gary K.

Abstract

This study compared the strength of competing causal models in explaining the relationship between perceived support, enacted support, and social anxiety in adolescents. The social causation hypothesis postulates that social support causes social anxiety, whereas the social selection hypothesis postulates that social anxiety causes social support. The reciprocal model combines the two hypotheses by arguing that the causal relationship between social support and social anxiety is largely reciprocal. This study tests a modification of the reciprocal model by specifying perceptions of support as a mediating construct. Two waves of data with an interval of three months were collected on 357 college students. Structural equation modeling was used to compare the reciprocal and mediated reciprocal causal models. The study found some support for the mediated reciprocal model, but the magnitude of the relationships were weaker than expected. Limitations and suggestion for future research are discussed.

CRAAP Test: Relevance

Relevance is about determining whether the information is directly applicable to your research question or topic. Academic research typically focuses on specific issues, and irrelevant sources can reduce the quality of your work. Using information that does not specifically address your research question can also lead to misinterpretations or weak arguments. It's important to decide whether a source contributes to your analysis, supports your claims,

or adds depth to your understanding. For instance, a source that is too general or aimed at a different audience (such as the general public instead of scholars) may not provide the level of detail or specificity required for high-level academic work. Ask yourself: Is it scholarly or popular? Is the language simple or technical? Can I find better information somewhere else?

Abstract

This study investigates the links between musical preferences (metal, soul, electronic, pop, and classical) and depression in adolescence. Research participants were 329 adolescents (179 girls and 150 boys) from Montreal (Canada). Analyses controlled for state anxiety, drug use, academic problems, importance given to lyrics, and time spent listening to music per week. In adolescent girls, preference for metal music was linked with higher depression levels, whereas preferences for soul music and pop music were linked to lower depression levels. The links between musical preferences and depression levels were not significant in boys. The five musical preferences were not associated with an episode of clinical depression in adolescence. Theoretical explanations for the influence of music on depression in adolescence are further discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Management of Pediatric Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome: A Review.

Peer reviewed | Article

Published in: Journal of Pediatric Pharmacology & Therapeutics, 2021 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Reinert, Justin P.; Niyamugabo, O'Neill;Harmon, Kiersi S.; Fenn III, Norman E.

Abstract

With significant increases noted in adolescent marijuana use across the United States, perhaps as a result of legislative changes over the past half-decade, clinicians must be increasingly aware of the potential negative health effects. One such effect that warrants concern is cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome (CHS) in the pediatric population. A systematic review of the literature was performed to determine the safety and efficacy of management strategies for CHS using PubMed, Scopus, the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health (CINAHL), Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases. Search terms used in each database were "pediatric OR child OR children OR adolescent" AND "cannabinoid OR marijuana" AND "hyperemesis OR cyclic vomiting OR vomiting" NOT "seizure OR chemotherapy OR pregnancy OR cancer OR AIDS OR HIV." Fourteen pieces of literature that described either effective, ineffective, or supportive management strategies for pediatric CHS were included in this review. Benzodiazepines were the most reported efficacious agents, followed by topical capsaicin cream and haloperidol. A total of 9 of the 14 studies described intravenous fluid resuscitation and hot bathing rituals as supportive measures, and 7 cases reported traditional antiemetics were ineffective for CHS. The heterogenicity of reported data, combined with the limited number of encounters, make it difficult to ascertain whether a definitive treatment strategy exists. Clinicians should be cognizant of pharmacotherapy agents that are efficacious, and perhaps more importantly, avoid using traditional antiemetic therapies that do not provide benefit. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CRAAP Test: Accuracy

Accuracy refers to whether the information presented is reliable, truthful, and supported by evidence. In academic research, facts must be correct and verifiable, as even small errors can lead to incorrect conclusions. A source’s accuracy can be checked by cross-referencing it with other credible materials or by evaluating the research methods used. If a source contains factual errors, lacks citations, or seems to

present one-sided or unsupported arguments, it may not be reliable for academic purposes. Relying on inaccurate data can compromise the integrity of your research and weaken the conclusions you draw from it. Ask yourself: has this gone through peer review? Are there grammatical errors or typos?

Childhood Beauty Pageant Contestants: Associations with Adult Disordered Eating and Mental Health.

Published in: Eating Disorders, May/Jun2005 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Wonderlich, AnnaL.; Ackard, DiannM.; Henderson, JudithB.

Abstract

This study evaluated the association between childhood beauty pageants and adult disordered eating, body dissatisfaction, depression, and self-esteem. Eleven women who participated in childhood beauty pageants were matched on age and BMI with 11 non-participating women. Childhood pageant participants scored higher on body dissatisfaction, interpersonal distrust, and impulse dysregulation than non-participants, and showed a trend toward greater ineffectiveness. There were no significant differences between groups on measures of bulimia, body perception, depression, and self-esteem. These findings suggest childhood beauty pageant participation may influence adult body dissatisfaction, interpersonal distrust, and impulse dysregulation, but not bulimic behaviors, body perception, depression, and self-esteem.

A challenge faced by many students is the loss of academic skills during the summer months. However, less attention is given to social and emotional needs during the summer. Thirty-five middle school students from low-SES homes participated in a summer program designed to improve verbal, academic, and youth development competencies. Three students in the program also participated in an intervention that used Hip Hop and Empowerment (HHE) and Therapeutic Beat Making (TBM) strategies to promote youth development and reduce elevated depressive and anxiety symptoms. Data were collected by questionnaires measuring Empowerment-based Positive Youth Development (EMPYD) indicators of Connection, Confidence, Competence, Caring, Character, Sense of community, and Active and engaged citizenship, plus well-being indicators of depression and anxiety. Results included improvements across all youth development indicators and depression and anxiety symptoms for the intervention participants. Using the Independent Samples Mann-Whitney U Test, a statistically significant decrease (worsening) between Time 1 and Time 2 measures of character were found for the non-intervention group. When comparing the intervention group to the non-intervention group at Time 2, statistically significant differences were found for improvements in character and depression and anxiety symptoms. This study suggests that a well-designed, research-based Hip Hop-integrated strategy may complement summer learning strategies and help improve mental health outcomes for low-income middle school youth. It is necessary to continue research that explores the efficacy of Hip Hop-based mental health interventions, and potential ways to mitigate social and emotional loss alongside academic loss in the summer months.

Power System Decarbonization Assessment: A Case Study from Taiwan.

Published in: Energies (19961073), Feb2024 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Wang, Chun-Kai; Lee, Chien-Ming

Abstract

The first global stocktake (GST) at 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) pointed out that accelerating the phasing down of fossil fuels has become an important mitigation policy to maintain a maximum temperature limit of 1.5 °C. The optimal power portfolio for achieving Taiwan's net-zero emissions by 2050 is evaluated from the perspective of sustainable development. This study is enhances the 2021 research findings of Wang et al. on the sustainable power model, incorporating homogenized cost and technical constraints for empirical analysis. The results indicated that renewable energy sources play a pivotal role in achieving net-zero emissions. Gas power generation requires careful consideration, including early decommissioning or the adoption of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology to prevent carbon lock-in and compete with hydrogen energy technology. Notably, coal combined with CCS technology offers a viable option for a cost-effective roadmap for a decarburized power generation portfolio by 2050, serving as a reference for national planning strategies for promoting net-zero emissions.

CRAAP Test: Authority

The authority of a source refers to the qualifications, expertise, and credibility of the author or publisher. In academic research, using credible sources is critical to establish trust and make sure your work is accurate. The author’s academic credentials, experience, and professional standing in the field play a major role in determining their reliability. For example, research published in peer-reviewed journals, written by experts in the field, is more likely

to be credible than a blog post by an unknown writer. Additionally, the source's publisher, such as a well-established academic press or university, adds to the source's authority in academic circles. Where it was published online matters, as well. Is it on a .gov, .edu, .org, or .com website?

Hmm, not quite. While this source appears current and comes from a credible journal, its focus on Slovenia’s energy transition by 2050 might not be directly relevant to your research if you're looking at renewable energy and fossil fuels globally or in a different context.

Room 3: Evaluate Sources

Hmm, not quite. While this source is current and comes from a reputable journal, it focuses on technological advancements in mining processes rather than directly addressing the balance between renewable energy and fossil fuels by 2050.

Health Effects of Using Cannabis for Therapeutic Purposes: A Gender Analysis of Users'' Perspectives.

Peer reviewed | Article

Published in: Substance Use & Misuse, Apr2011 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Bottorff, Joan L.; Bissell, Laura J. L.; Balneaves, Lynda G.; Oliffe, John L.; +4 more

Abstract (English)

The purpose of this qualitative study was to describe how individuals who self-report therapeutic use of cannabis perceive its health effects. Data from 23 individual interviews were transcribed and analyzed. Understandings of gendered roles and identities were used to explore the data and interpret differences in perceptions. Descriptions of the health benefits of cannabis for therapeutic purposes included cannabis as life preserving, a disease therapy, a medicine for the mind, a means for self-management, and a way to manage addiction. Self-management of risks focused on the potential effects of excessive use, smoking-related risks, and purchasing precautions. Although the reports of women and men were similar in many respects, there were important differences in patterns and practices of use that reflected gender influences. Insights from the study provide direction for developing gender-specific information to support decision making and usage for therapeutic users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Adolescent coping and social media use moderated anxiety change during the COVID‐19 pandemic.

Published in: Journal of Adolescence, Jan2024 Database: Academic Search Ultimate By: Myruski, Sarah; Pérez‐Edgar, Koraly; Buss, Kristin A.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a sensitive period during which stressors and social disruptions uniquely contribute to anxiety symptoms. Adolescent's coping strategies (i.e., avoidance and approach) during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic may be differentially related to anxiety symptom changes. Further, social media use (SMU) is ubiquitous and may serve as an avenue to deploy avoidant and/or approach coping. Method: Participants included 265 adolescents (ages 12–20 years; 55.8% female, 43.8% male) and one parent per adolescent. At two time points separated by ~6 months, adolescents reported on SMU and coping strategies, and parents and adolescents reported demographic information and adolescents' anxiety symptoms. Data were collected online in the United States, from summer 2020 through spring 2021. Results: Increases in avoidant coping predicted increasing anxiety, particularly when approach coping decreased. Decreases in both avoidant coping and SMU coincided with decreasing anxiety. Older adolescents showed decreasing anxiety when avoidant coping declined and SMU increased. Conclusion: Coping strategies and SMU predicted patterns of adolescent anxiety symptom change across 6 months during the COVID‐19 pandemic. Results highlight that coping and SMU should be contextualized within the time course of stressors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

CRAAP Test: Accuracy

Accuracy refers to whether the information presented is reliable, truthful, and supported by evidence. In academic research, facts must be correct and verifiable, as even small errors can lead to incorrect conclusions. A source’s accuracy can be checked by cross-referencing it with other credible materials or by evaluating the research methods used. If a source contains factual errors, lacks citations, or seems to

present one-sided or unsupported arguments, it may not be reliable for academic purposes. Relying on inaccurate data can compromise the integrity of your research and weaken the conclusions you draw from it. Ask yourself: has this gone through peer review? Are there grammatical errors or typos?
