Motivational interviewing (MI) is a commonly employed approach to facilitating behavior change, including diet. While efficacious, the empirical basis for MI's language-based mechanisms are in substance use, and not fully known when targeting diet change. The purpose of this study was to conduct a secondary analysis of clinical trial data to examine the language-based mechanisms of MI when targeting diet. Participants in an existing clinical trial (parents in a 10-week parent/child dyad-focused...

BACKGROUND: Adherence to anti-seizure medications (ASMs) is critical for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with epilepsy to achieve optimal health outcomes. Studies show that self-efficacy and parental involvement may influence adherence behaviors. This study examined whether self-efficacy mediates the relationship between parental miscarried helping, a form of overinvolved or misdirected caregiving, and ASM adherence in AYAs with epilepsy.

Efficient carbon capture and utilization require strategies that minimize energy penalties of CO(2) regeneration and compression. Reactive capture and conversion (RCC) address this challenge by integrating capture with direct electrochemical conversion. Here, we show an NH(3)-mediated tandem RCC system that couples capture of CO(2) from simulated flue gas (10% v/v CO(2) in N(2)) with electroreduction of NH(4)HCO(3) to CO over a Ni single-atom catalyst (Ni-SAC). Speciation modeling and capture...

Produced water (PW), generated during oil and gas extraction, is a complex wastewater characterized by high salinity, hydrocarbons, and heavy metals, making treatment and beneficial reuse challenging. Bioremediation offers a sustainable treatment alternative, but the extreme physicochemical conditions of PW inhibit the growth and activity of most conventional microorganisms. This study evaluates the bioremediation potential and heavy metal tolerance mechanisms of the halophile, Modicisalibacter...
