We report on the synthesis of alpha manganese dioxide (α-MnO₂) nanorods using natural extracts from Vitis vinifera grape stems and Malus domestica ‘Cortland’ apple peels. We used a two-step method to produce highly crystalline α-MnO₂ nanorods: (1) re...

The Michelangelo phenomenon describes an interpersonal model of personal growth in which romantic partners affirm each other’s ideal selves, thereby enhancing their relational and personal well-being. The present study examined how attachment s...

Problematic gaming has been consistently associated with insecure attachment styles and alexithymia. However, there is limited knowledge regarding the impact of specific alexithymic features and insecure attachment styles on problematic gaming. The s...

There is evidence that anxiety and avoidance toward close relationships (i.e., insecure attachment orientations), as well as posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSSs), are linked to a poor quality of life. The current study aimed to investigate the poten...

The delivery of mesothelial cells by nanofibrous membranes (NFMs) can repair a damaged peritoneal mesothelium and enhance peritoneal healing in patients with chronic renal failure. On the other hand, the orientation of the nanofibers in NFMs may affe...

When untreated, postpartum depression (PPD) can severely, negatively affect maternal health, child development, and the wellbeing and functioning of the entire family. Yet, despite screening and treatment programs for PPD, many women who experience d...

Individual differences in attachment orientations may influence how we process emotionally significant stimuli. As one of the most important sources of emotional information are facial expressions, we examined whether there is an association between...

Attachment is a system of threat regulation, and insecure (anxious and avoidant) attachment orientations are important individual difference antecedents to the cognitive and affective attributions of trait inferences. However, little is known about h...

Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP), which are partially stabilized zirconia, have been used for fabricating dental implants. This study investigated the soft tissue attachment, the collagen fiber orientation to zirconia at dif...

Attachment style and emotion regulation (ER) patterns intertwine. Securely attached individuals employ more adaptive ER strategies, while individuals with avoidant, preoccupied, and disorganized styles rely on less adaptive strategies. Defense mechan...

Background/Objectives: The rotation of maxillary canines represents one of the least predictable movements with clear aligners, particularly in cases requiring rotations greater than 10°, due to the rounded crown morphology and limited aligner gr...

Previous studies have shown that lesbian and gay (LG) individuals, in comparison to their heterosexual counterparts, tend to report lower levels of parenthood desire. While numerous variables have been suggested to explain this gap in parenthood aspi...

This study aims to examine the associations of three death anxiety buffers, close relationships, cultural worldview, and self-esteem, with death anxiety in younger and older adults and to test whether Future Time Perspective (FTP) moderated these ass...

Vaccination against COVID-19 is regarded as one of the most promising interventions to control the pandemic. This study aimed to examine whether adult attachment affects an individual’s COVID-19 vaccination intention and whether this relationsh...

Place attachment is important in urban planning and environmental psychology, yet the relationships among spatial, behavioral, and experiential factors and place attachment remain insufficiently understood. This cross-sectional study examined these a...

Many peptides and proteins are attached to or immersed in a biological membrane. In order to understand their function not only the structure but also their topology in the membrane is important. Solution NMR spectroscopy is one of the most often use...
