Abstract:
... Pentachlorophenol (PCP) is ubiquitous and moderately persistent in the environment, and it is an identified human carcinogen. Previous animal experiments indicate that toxic mechanisms of PCP include oxidative stress. However, no epidemiological study has reported the association between PCP exposure and oxidative stress; such association in pregnant women, a vulnerable population, is of particula ...

Abstract:
... Beyond the trauma research, it was assumed that ordinary younger people can experience moral injury, leading to depression. Based on this assumption, this study investigated the mediating pathways by which moral injury, caused by oneself, others, and by betrayal of others, impacts depression through self-compassion. Overall, 1,567 South Korean youths responded to an online survey that employed thr ...
