TL;DR: In this paper, a container housing liquid medication is provided together with a syringe and a coupling member for use in orally administering the medication to a patient, and a cap member attached to the coupling member by means of a strap closes off the bore so that no medication escapes from the container when the syringe is disconnected from the head member.
Abstract: A container housing liquid medication is provided together with a syringe and a coupling member for use in orally administering the medication to a patient. The coupling member is fastened to the container and includes a head member projecting upwardly to receive an inner tip of the syringe barrel. The liquid medication is dispensed from the container into a barrel of the syringe through a bore of the head member when a plunger is moved within the syringe barrel. After a predetermined amount of medication is received by the syringe barrel, the syringe barrel is removed from the head member and the predetermined amount of medication is administered orally to the patient. A cap member attached to the coupling member by means of a strap closes off the bore so that no medication escapes from the container when the syringe is disconnected from the head member. In one particular embodiment, a valve means is connected to the coupling member to permit selective communication between the container and the syringe barrel.

TL;DR: In this article, the negative memory bias commonly found among depressed people is mediated by excess levels of self-focused attention and thus can be reduced by preventing depressed people from focusing on themselves.
Abstract: On the basis of self-regulatory perseveration theory, we hypothesized that the negative memory bias commonly found among depressed people is mediated by excess levels of self-focused attention and thus can be reduced by preventing depressed people from focusing on themselves. In Experiment I, nondepressed and subclinically depressed college students were induced to focus either on themselves or externally and then to recall 10 events that had happened to themselves during the previous 2 weeks. Consistent with our hypotheses, events recalled by depressed Ss were more negative than events recalled by nondepressed Ss under conditions of self-focus but not under conditions of external focus. We conducted Experiment 2 to determine whether this effect was specific to self-referent events or generalizable to events that happened to other people. Experiment 2's findings replicated the previous findings for self-referent events but showed a different pattern for recall of events that happened to others, suggesting that self-focus reduces the negative memory bias among depressed individuals by deactivating their self-schemas. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.

TL;DR: The authors found that after reminders of mortality, people show greater investment in and support for groups to which they belong, and that this would extend to Euro American investment in their identification as white.
Abstract: Terror management research has often shown that after reminders of mortality, people show greater investment in and support for groups to which they belong. The question for the present research was whether or not this would extend to Euro American investment in their identification as White. Although it seemed unlikely that White participants would directly exhibit increased identification as Whites, we hypothesized that mortality salience would increase sympathy for other Whites who expressed racial pride or favoritism toward Whites. In support of the hypothesis, a White person expressing pride in his race was viewed by White participants as particularly racist relative to a Black person who does so in Study 1, but was deemed less racist after White participants were reminded of their own mortality in Study 2. Similarly, in Study 3, White participants rated an explicitly racist White employer as less racist when they were reminded beforehand of their own mortality. The results were discussed in terms of implications for affiliation with racist ideologies and terror management defenses.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the variety of ways self-processes, societal and institutional policing values, and demands for emotional presentation on police officers interact to produce burnout.
Abstract: Burnout among police officers is a well-documented phenomenon, with police exhibiting significantly rates significantly higher than other occupations. This is not surprising considering the inherent dangers and challenges police face in the course of their duties. However, police are also subject to a host of institutional and cultural forces that are likely to contribute to burnout. This study examines the variety of ways self-processes, societal and institutional policing values, and demands for emotional presentation on police officers interact to produce burnout. Using data collected from a survey of police officers in the Pacific Northwest (N = 109), we assess three primary hypotheses: (a) The greater the emotional management required of officers, the greater will be their levels of burnout, (b) The greater the dissonance between officer’s own values and those of various reference groups, the greater will be their levels of burnout, and (c) In combination, value dissonance and emotional labor should produce higher levels of burnout than either would independently produce. Results provide mixed support for these hypotheses suggesting that value dissonance only exhibits independent effects on burnout rooted in depersonalization, whereas effects of emotional dissonance vary depending on the type of burnout under consideration. Implications for theory, research, and practice are discussed.

TL;DR: The new metastable epsilon-Bi2O3 polymorph has been prepared by hydrothermal treatment and structurally characterized and indicates its undoped bismuth oxide nature, then leading to the fifth characterized Bi2 O3 polymorph to date.
Abstract: The new metastable e-Bi2O3 polymorph has been prepared by hydrothermal treatment and structurally characterized. It shows strong relationships with the room temperature α form and the metastable β form through rearrangements of [Bi2O3] columns formed by edge-sharing OBi4 tetrahedra. Its fully ordered crystal structure yields an ionic insulating character. It irreversibly transforms at 400 °C to the α form. The chemical analysis indicates its undoped bismuth oxide nature, then leading to the fifth characterized Bi2O3 polymorph to date.
