Public property refers to the property owned by the public sector, whereas public goods refers to the resources that can be used by the general public. The biggest difference between the two is that the former is ownership by public sector and the latter is just used right for general public. Under public-private partnership cooperation, public property was handed over or entrusted for the private sector to operation, and the private sector provide public services for the community people. The management decision dilemmas were happened as result of the private sectors pursuit maximum operation performance, however, the public sectors pursuit maximum public benefits. This is a case between used right of private sector and ownership of public sectors under public-private partnership collaboration.Therefore, in order to pursue public interests and conform to the rights and interests of citizens, citizens’ right to choose under the condition of information asymmetry, in order to make the public reduce the damage to public property and ignore the demand for public property, this is in line with the expected benefits of publicprivate partnership cooperation are contradictory. This paper uses qualitative research to explore the choice of citizen behavior, how to provide relatively complete information in a relatively objective and rational way under the balance of citizen interests and citizens' needs, and establish a mutual trust mechanism between the government, people and manufacturers.

Background: Current clinical practice increasingly presents adolescents and adults with substance use disorder (SUD). Childhood ADHD is considered a primary factor for the early emergence of substance use in adults with substance use disorder. The review aims to understand the prevalence of childhood ADHD in adults with substance use disorder and the age of onset of alcohol and tobacco use in adults with SUD with and without childhood ADHD.

Methods: A systematic search of databases (PubMed, Medline, Cinahl, Scopus, Web of Science and Embase) was conducted to find observational studies that measured the prevalence rates of childhood ADHD and the age of onset of SUD. Data extraction was performed by two independent authors (TS and SR). The review considered observational and intervention studies. Primary inclusion criteria were – a) participants with ADHD, b) Adults with SUD. Quality ratings for articles were done using a checklist based on ROBINS-1 and the Observation study quality evaluation scale.

Results: Results indicated that the prevalence rate for childhood ADHD in adults with substance use disorder was 13.92 (p≤0.0001). For the age of onset, the test of heterogeneity was significant (p<0.00001, I2=100%). Therefore, a random effects model was used to calculate the age of onset, which was 3.14 (95% Cl 0.85,5.44) years earlier for the childhood ADHD group compared to the non-ADHD group.

Conclusion: Adults with substance use disorder show a high prevalence of childhood ADHD. Childhood ADHD can accelerate the pathway from early substance use through abuse and dependence.

Recent yoga-meditation research has shown tremendous benefits in emotion regulation among practitioners. The present study aimed to experimentally measure the use of emotion regulation strategies among advanced, novice, and non-practitioners of yoga and meditation. 70 participants (20 men and 50 women; Mage = 37.58 years; SD = 7.45) with 25 in non-practitioner group (7 men and 18 women, Mage = 36.44 years; SD = 7.73), 23 in novice yoga–meditation practitioner group (6 men and 17 women; Mage = 37.30 years; SD = 7.25), and 22 in advanced yoga–meditation practitioner group (7 men and 15 women; Mage = 39.18 years; SD = 7.39) performed an experiment on the use of emotion regulation strategies via the Smartphone App, PsyEx, developed for the purpose of a larger study. The experiment had three conditions of baseline, cognitive reappraisal, and suppression. It used standardized emotion regulation instructions and required the participants to rate positive and negative pictures from a standardized dataset of the Geneva Affective Picture Database (GAPED) on valence and arousal. The results using One-Way ANOVA and post-hoc comparisons using Tukey’s test revealed that the advanced and novice yoga-meditation practitioners, compared to non-practitioners, used significantly higher cognitive reappraisal strategy and lesser suppression to regulate their emotions for negatively valenced pictures. The findings from the study have been discussed in light of existing research, which highlights the benefits of yoga and meditation by helping an individual regulate their emotions more effectively by greater use of adaptive emotion regulation strategy of cognitive reappraisal than suppression.
