    GRO-seq profiles for nascent transcriptome analysis in mouse microglia (treatment control)

    No full text
    This dataset contains processed GRO-seq data (tagDirectories and UCSC genome browser format bedgraph files created with software Homer) that represent aligned counts to the mm9 mouse genome. Murine microglial BV2 cells were maintained with DMEM supplemented with 10% FBS (Hyclone) and penicillin/streptomycin

    Influence of human-forest relationships on perceived happiness in Finland

    No full text
    1. The social functions of forest resources must be acknowledged for effective forest management, given the environmental challenges facing humanity. The current study assessed the dimensions of human–forest relationships that influence perceived happiness of people. We focused on Finland, where an industrialised forest-based market economy coexists with a widespread cultural appreciation of forests. 2. We conducted a web-based national questionnaire survey to collect data on human–forest relationships that influence perceived happiness in Finland. We explore the contribution of forest exposure, engagement, characteristic of human–forest bond such as biophilic values, and cultural ecosystem services to forest happiness in Finland. 3. Finnish forest happiness appeared to have three main dimensions: (i) the bond to natural-like forests through values raised from the experienced connection with nature (i.e. biophilic values), (ii) utilitarian forest engagements and (iii) forest exposure. Although both forest bond and forest engagements contributed to eudaimonic happiness, only utilitarian engagements and managed forest environment contributed to hedonic happiness. Eco-anxiety has formed an elemental part of the bond to natural-like forests, indicating that this dimension of Finnish forest happiness can also reduce perceived happiness. 4. Among the respondents, the happiness of hunters and men was correlated with utilitarian engagements and managed forests, and the happiness of women was more strongly associated with the bond to natural-like forest. The happiness of those adults who now or in their childhood lived in the countryside was related to utilitarian forest engagements and managed forest environments. The lived forest experiences and cultural background shape how people perceive forests and which aspects contribute most to their forest happiness. 5. Our finding on the importance of cultural contexts and personal values in shaping the human–forest relationship emphasises the integration of cultural perspectives in forest management and conservation efforts, in addition to economic and ecological aspects. As people appeared to exist on a spectrum between anthropocentric and ecocentric views, forest policies should provide opportunities for all kinds of forest relationships and forest happiness in their living environment

    Mode-Locked Pulse Generation in Plasmonic Lattices

    No full text
    We demonstrate a novel mechanism for generating phase-locked ultrafast laser pulses by utilizing plasmonic nanostructures. Phase locking between multiple lasing modes of a plasmonic superlattice overlaid with a liquid gain medium is achieved through plasmonic near fields. To probe the ultrafast dynamics of the plasmonic mode-locked laser, we employ a custom-built, angle- and wavelength-resolved, self-referencing cross-correlation measurement scheme. The physical origin of the mode locking is attributed to the femtosecond timescale correlations in the gain material near the plasmonic hotspots. Our work presents the first demonstration of phase-locked multimode lasing in plasmonic lattices, marking an important step toward the development of ultrashort-pulse nanolasers for chip-scale applications

    Developing ‘self-efficacy’ as an outcome measure in capacity building among social work practice educators in China

    No full text
    This article provides an exploration of social workers’ self-efficacy following their participation in a training programme designed to enhance the professional competence of practice educators. The study was conducted at three sites in China: Nanjing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, with 300 participants completing a standardized questionnaire at three time-points—before the training, at its conclusion, and after supervising a student. The aim was to identify factors associated with changes in social work practice educators’ sense of self-efficacy. Multiple regression analyses revealed that several variables, including supervisory experience in social work, practice region, and possession of a social work degree—significantly influenced participants’ self-efficacy across the three different phases. Participants from less developed regions demonstrated greater improvements in self-efficacy following the training. Based on these findings, the study recommends developing tailored training programmes and promoting the sharing of regional experiences among social workers in China
