Background. Depression is a prevalent disorder that significantly affects the social functioning and interpersonal relationships of individuals. This highlights need for investigation neural mechanisms underlying these difficulties. Investigation exchanges has traditionally been challenging as such interactions are difficult to quantify. Recently, however, neuroeconomic approaches combine multiplayer behavioural economic paradigms neuroimaging have provided framework operationalize quantify...
Abstract Objectives The main objective was to analyse the Zarit scale's (ZS) ability identify signs of caregiver collapse amongst people looking after patients suffering from dementia. We also evaluated dimensions most affected by ZS and risk factors associated with burden collapse. Methods administered semi‐structured interviews 66 patient: age, sex, type dementia, place residence, length illness, behavioural disorders, incontinence, Barthel index (IB), Global Deterioration Scale (GDS),...
Abstract Social comparisons are a core feature of human life. Theories posit that social play critical role in depression and anxiety triggering negative evaluations about the self, as well emotions. We investigated neural basis participants with and/or (MD-SA, n=56) healthy controls (n=47) using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). While being scanned performed comparison task, during which they received feedback their performance co-player. Upward (being worse than co-player)...
This study examines the visual portrayal of political leadership Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky in context Russo-Ukrainian war. By using a qualitative methodology based on semiotics image, employing tools such as Content Discourse Analysis Critical Analysis, photographs published by international agencies have been analysed order to explore how these leaders communicate present themselves public through photography. Nine specific categories analysis established for purpose thoroughly...
Background Depression is a disabling disorder that significantly impacts on the interpersonal functioning of individuals. However, little known about neural substrates such difficulties. In last few years neuroeconomics, which combines imaging with multiplayer behavioural economic paradigms, has been used to study normal and abnormal interactions. Method This functional magnetic resonance investigate activity in unmedicated depressed participants ( n = 25) matched healthy controls 25)....
Text comprehension relies on high-level cognitive processes as it is the ability to revise an erroneous inference. Recent models of language processing hold that native proactive in nature (highly predictive), whereas seems be weaker second language. However, if a prediction fails because unexpected information encountered, reactive needed previous information. Twenty-four highly proficient late bilinguals were presented with narratives L1-English and L2-Spanish. Each text demanded revision...
The present study was aim to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile-health application, CALMA, based on dialectical behavioral therapy skills. CALMA proposed as an adjunct for reduction non-suicidal suicidal self-injury behaviors. A parallel design used compare intervention group (DBT + CALMA) comparison (DBT). Patients were randomized their groups following cluster design. After treatment, patients completed follow-up assessment four weeks later. Each...
We investigated how adult readers evaluate and revise their situation model, by monitoring eye movements as they read narrative texts critical sentences. In each text, a short introduction primed an inference, followed concept that was either expected (e.g. "oven") or unexpected "grill"). Eye showed detected mismatch between the information prior interpretation, confirming ability to inferential information. Subsequently, sentence included word congruent "roasted") incongruent "barbecued")...
This study investigates the relationship between teenagers' use of social networking sites (SNS) and their sourcing abilities. Sourcing is defined as students' ability (1) to discriminate reliable unreliable links based on source characteristics, (2) value criteria means select information resources (3) texts characteristics. One hundred forty-six students (M age = 14.7 years old) completed three tasks, a questionnaire SNS use, well language memory skills tests. We found that frequency...
The sociolinguistic context of language use contributes to individuals' linguistic knowledge. However, how it does so has yet be fully conceptualised or quantitatively investigated within the sciences. To meet this goal, a psychometrically sound evidence-based measure that captures important aspects contextually influenced experience is necessary. In paper we describe development and validation Contextual Individual Linguistic Diversity Questionnaire (CILD-Q). Exploratory factor analysis was...
Abstract Informational video blogs are a popular method of communication among students that may be fruitful educational tools, but their potential benefits and risks remain unclear. Streaming videos created by YouTubers often consumed for entertainment, which lead to develop habits hinder in-depth information processing. We aimed test this hypothesis comparing students’ perceived attention task, metacognitive calibration level comprehension, comprehension outcomes between reading text...
Individual reports of language history, use, and proficiency are generally considered sufficient for profiling. Yet, these variables alone neglect the contribution contextual linguistic diversity to one's overall repertoire. In this study we used Contextual Linguistic Profile Questionnaire evaluate whether there is a difference in between participants across linguistically dissimilar contexts South Africa England. We further assessed self-reported lingualism status groups (monolinguals,...
Nowadays, there is a challenge in searching for more sustainable alternatives to decrease the environmental impact of composite materials. In this work, we fabricate new composites based on biobased-content epoxy system, lignin, and flax fiber; considering these materials could be promising due their high renewable content around 40%. addition, another key requirement composites, besides being sustainable, that they present improved properties such as UV resistance. Therefore, throughout...
This case describes a psychotherapy intervention in patient advanced stages of ALS. The inability for verbal communication at these necessitated the inclusion computational system to favor augmentative and alternative (AAC) provide psychological care. association this device software with ongoing acted synergistic manner. AAC devices made it possible maintain patient-therapist provided material support despite severe speech limitations. bimodal protocol resulted better symptom control,...
Abstract Learning a new language is an important goal that many individuals find difficult to achieve, particularly during adulthood. Several factors have related this variability different extrinsic (learning condition, difficulty of the materials) and intrinsic (cognitive abilities) factors, but interaction between them barely known. In two experiments, participants learned English grammar rules in intentional (Experiment 1) or explicit 2), incidental learning-contexts. Overall, results...
Abstract English is imposed as the language of instruction in multiple linguistically diverse societies where there more than one official language. This might have negative educational consequences for people whose first (L1) not English. To investigate this, 47 South Africans with advanced proficiency but different L1s (L1-English vs. L1-Zulu) were evaluated their listening comprehension ability. Specifically, participants listened to narrative texts which prompted an initial inference...
Abstract The first therapeutical goal followed by neurooncological surgeons dealing with prefrontal gliomas is attempting supramarginal tumor resection preserving relevant neurological function. Therefore, advanced knowledge of the frontal aslant tract (FAT) functional neuroanatomy in high-order cognitive domains beyond language and speech processing would help refine neurosurgeries, predicting possible adverse events maximizing surgical efficacy. To this aim we performed recently developed...
