UMBC’s Erle Ellis and international team show people have shaped Earth’s ecology for 12,000 years
No full textPhotographers: Marlayna Demond, Erle Ellis, Darren J. Ranco, and Torben Rick.New research published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) shows that land use by human societies has reshaped ecology across most of Earth’s land for at least 12,000 years. The research team, from more than a dozen institutions around the world, compared the history of global land use with current patterns of biodiversity and conservation. Their work revealed that the main cause of the current biodiversity crisis is not human destruction of uninhabited wildlands, but rather the appropriation, colonization, and intensified use of lands previously managed sustainably.https://news.umbc.edu/umbcs-erle-ellis-and-international-team-show-people-have-shaped-earths-ecology-for-1200-years

A prospective examination of Beck’s cognitive theory of depression in university students in mainland China
No full textThe current multi-wave longitudinal study examined the applicability of Beck’s (1967, 1983) cognitive theory of depression to university students in mainland China. During an initial assessment, participants completed measures assessing dysfunctional attitudes and depressive/anxious symptoms. Participants subsequently completed measures assessing negative events and depressive/anxious symptoms once a month for six months. Results provided support for the applicability of Beck’s cognitive theory to university students in mainland China. More specifically, higher levels of dysfunctional attitudes were associated with greater increases in depressive symptoms following the occurrence of negative events. At the same time, contrary to findings obtained in Western samples, higher levels of dysfunctional attitudes were also associated with greater increases in anxious symptoms following the occurrence of negative events. These findings may suggest that dysfunctional attitudes exhibit non-specificity as a predictor of depressive symptoms in mainland China.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Darren Stolo
