Withdrawal-based theories of addiction hypothesize that motivation to reinstate drug use following acute abstinence is mediated by withdrawal symptoms. Experimental tests this hypothesis in the tobacco literature are scant and may be subject methodological limitations. This study utilized a robust within-subject laboratory experimental design investigate extent which composite symptomatology level 3 unique components (i.e., low positive affect, negative urge smoke) effect smoking on smoking....

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the commonest demyelinating condition of nervous system. It characterized by numerous areas or plaques demyelination which are found dispersed throughout has been shown that MS less frequent in tropical regions than subtropical regions. In Latin America particularly, there some studies show this phenomenon. However, Colombia no prevalence have done.To determine multiple five provinces (Antioquia, Caldas, Santander, Risaralda and Bolivar).The capture-recapture...
The current study utilized the intersectionality framework to explore whether smoking outcome expectancies (i.e., cognitions about anticipated effects of smoking) were predicted by gender and ethnicity, gender-by-ethnicity interaction. In a cross-sectional design, daily smokers from general community (32.2% women; non-Hispanic African American [ n = 175], White 109], or Hispanic 26]) completed self-report measures on other co-factors. Results showed that women reported greater negative...
Science centers are seen as places for communication of science very focused on the mise en scène content and methodologies natural sciences. However, in recent history, these institutions transforming their role within education transformation processes society they engaged with. This presents a social project Medellín, Colombia, that involves vulnerable community, local authorities city, academic NGO’s center is neighbor to this community.

In this “practice insight” we present a series of experiences run by Association Traces, injecting participatory approaches into science engagement activities valuing the knowledge public rather than focusing on their ignorance. Starting from observation that sort hybridization is occurring between cultural and with one side, co-creation other, provide some insight features each approach. Examples are then used to highlight potential value hybridization: as way making activity more...
Objective: Negative urgency—the tendency to act rashly during negative affective states—is a risk factor for regular cigarette smoking. This human laboratory study tested novel theoretical model of the underlying mechanisms linking urgency and smoking motivation, which purports that smokers with high are at increased susceptibility abstinence-induced increases in affect, which, turn, provokes urge smoke suppress affect. Method: Smokers (N = 180, >10 cigarettes/day) attended baseline session...
