The European Journal of Psychology Applied to Legal Context

Background: This study aimed to adapt and validate a staff version of the PLANEA Independent Life Skills Assessment tools, which were then used to explore the convergence between self-reported and staff views of independent living skills of young people in residential child care in Spain. Method: A sample of 422 care-experienced young people was evaluated by their residential or care workers (n = 219) using the staff version of PLANEA instruments. Psychometric analyses were carried out to study dimensionality and measuring properties of the instruments, while t-tests, Pearson correlations and Fisher’s z were used to study convergence between informants. Results: The results show that the internal structure of the instruments was confirmed for the staff versions (three first-order factors and one second-order factor model for PLANEA-S, unidimensional model for PLANEA-9-S, and two-factor correlated model for PLANEA-T-S). The instruments showed excellent reliability (ω = .80-.97) and discriminative capacity. Staff showed less optimistic views than young people about their independent living skills but not their autonomy to perform everyday life tasks. This was mediated by the role of the adult respondent towards the young person evaluated. Conclusions: As conclusions we can say that the validated staff version of the PLANEA Independent Life Skills Assessment tools expands the scope for assessing this construct in young people in care from a multi-informant perspective. This is key for child protection services to address young people’s individual needs and inform decision-making regarding the provision of support services that will promote a successful transition from care to adulthood for them.

ISOTOPIC INVESTIGATION OF ANTHROPOGENIC SOURCES OF ATMOSPHERIC NITROGEN AND CARBON ALONG SPATIAL GRADIENTS

Fossil fuel combustion from point and mobile sources is a key contributor to atmospheric CO2, a major greenhouse gas, and NOx, a precursor to acid rain and smog. Increased concentrations of these pollutants are found near the sources, i.e., in urban areas and close to roadways. Vegetation in urban and near-road environments represents an important sink for anthropogenic inputs of NOx and CO2, and understanding the nutrient dynamics of vegetation in urban and near-road ecosystems is critical to understanding budgets of NOx and CO2. However, little is known about how these ecosystems compensate for higher local atmospheric CO2 and NOx concentrations. This study uses stable isotope geochemistry to trace atmospheric nutrients to urban and roadway vegetation. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the environmental problems associated with atmospheric reactive nitrogen and CO2, the use of stable isotopes to determine the sources of these pollutants, and a review of recent studies which use stable isotopes to determine the sources of plant nutrient uptake. The study described in Chapter 2 examines the fate and transport of gaseous reactive nitrogen from mobile sources along a highway road gradient. This study uses stable isotopes of nitrogen in dry nitrogen deposition to examine the extent of nitrogen loading along a gradient perpendicular to a major highway. In addition, this study examines the effects of increased roadway N deposition on local vegetation by using the isotopic composition of plant tissue as a biomonitor of atmospheric N exposure. Chapter 3 details a similar study; however it is scaled up to an urban to rural gradient. This study used similar methods to the road gradient research, but examines N deposition at urban, suburban and rural sites in two metropolitan areas.
Profile of brivaracetam and its potential in the treatment of epilepsy

: Brivaracetam (BRV) (UCB 34714) is currently under review by the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for approval as an add-on treatment for adult patients with partial seizures. Similar to levetiracetam (LEV), BRV acts as a high-affinity ligand of the synaptic vesicle protein 2A, however, it has been shown to be 10- to 30-fold more potent than LEV. Moreover, BRV does not share the LEV inhibitory activity on the high volt-age Ca 2 + channels and AMPA receptors, and it has been reported to act as a partial antagonist on neuronal voltage-gated sodium channels. The pharmacokinetic profile of BRV is favorable and linear, and it undergoes an extensive metabolism into inactive compounds, mainly through the hydrolysis of its acetamide group. Furthermore, it does not significantly interact with other antiepileptic drugs and more than 95% is excreted through the urine, with an unchanged fraction of 8%–11%. BRV has a half-life of approximately 8–9 hours and it is usually given twice daily. To date, a wide range of experimental studies have reported the effectiveness of BRV with regards to partial and generalized seizures. In humans, six randomized, placebo-controlled trials and two meta-analyses highlighted the efficacy, or good tolerability, of BRV as an add-on treatment for patients with uncontrolled partial seizures. A wide dose range of BRV has been evaluated in those trials (5–200 mg), but the most suitable for clinical use appears to be 50–100 mg/day. The most common adverse reactions to BRV are mild to moderate, transient, often improve during the course of the treatment, and mainly consist of central nervous system symptoms, such as fatigue, dizziness, and somnolence. The aim of this paper is to critically review the literature data regarding experimental animal models and clinical trials on BRV, and to define its potential usefulness for the clinicians who manage patients with epilepsy.
Work engagement : a study of daily changes Engagement

This research aimed to verify the daily intraindividual and interindividual variations of work engagement and to investigate the predictors of this phenomenon and of the role performance at work, as well as the mediating role of engagement in the relationship between these predictors and performance. The sample consisted of 116 workers of both sexes (71.9% female). Through multilevel modelling, it could be identified that role ambiguity constituted a significant and negative predictor of engagement and performance, while participation in decision-making was characterized as a positive predictive variable of both constructs. The task complexity, in turn, proved to be a negative predictor of performance. Contrary to expectations, engagement did not show intra-individual variations. Brazilian organizations can benefit from these findings and seek to intervene in the work context.
Disentangling the Linkage between Personality and Commitment: A Moderated Mediation Model of Core Self-Evaluations and Affectivity

The purpose of this study is to investigate how several personality traits and two affective states might be associated with organizational (affective) commitment in a Middle Eastern collectivist culture like Turkey. We tested moderated mediation models of the effects of Big-Five personality traits on affective commitment to the organization while investigating the mediation effects of two affective states (i.e., positive affectivity and negative affectivity) and the moderating effects of a personality trait (i.e., core self-evaluations) on these relationships. Data were collected in a field study (N = 312) using a time-lagged research design. As expected, the results indicated that the traits extraversion and agreeableness are positively related to affective commitment through positive affectivity when core self-evaluations is high-to-medium in strength. The results also showed that the indirect and negative effect of neuroticism on affective commitment via negative affectivity was not supported. The main contribution of this study is the focus on personality and affective-commitment linkages, giving an increased understanding of the processes, mechanisms, and conditions (i
Work Engagement

The primary objective of this research was to examine both transactional and transformational leadership styles as serving in the role of moderators in the relationship between organizational justice and work engagement. An online survey was administered to 348 respondents. Results supported the hypothesis that the positive relationship that both distributive and procedural justice held to work engagement would be more pronounced among employees experiencing low transactional leadership than among employees experiencing high transactional leadership. This set of results is consistent with the principles of leader fairness theory, which suggests that a low transactional leadership style elicits uncertainty about one’s social self in the context of the workplace, and this state of uncertainty incites an employee’s intensified desire to seek justice-related information.
Confusion and Learning in the Voluntary Contributions Game ∗

We use a limited information environment to assess the role of confusion in the repeated voluntary contributions game. A comparison with play in a standard version of the game suggests, that the common claim that decision errors due to confused subjects biases estimates of cooperation upwards, is not necessarily correct. Furthermore, we find that simple learning cannot generate the kind of contribution dynamics commonly attributed to the existence of conditional cooperators. We conclude that cooperative behavior and its decay observed in public goods games is not a pure artefact of confusion and learning.

Social Media and Rotator Cuff Surgery: An Analysis of Patient Utilization on Instagram

Purpose: The purpose of this observational study is to investigate the content of social media posts shared with the hashtags [#rotatorcuffsurgery], [#rotatorcuff repair] and [#rotatorcuff]. In particular, we analyzed the contents of posts for timing and perspective, tone, patient’s satisfaction and content. Methods: Posts shared in the Instagram database with the [#rotatorcuffsurgery], [#rotatorcuff repair], and [#rotatorcuff] hashtags from September 1, 2019, to September 1, 2020, were analyzed and categorized by three separate reviewers. Of all 1785 posts, 142 were excluded since they were not related to orthopedic surgery and 12 were excluded due to inter-reviewer disagreements. Finally, 1631 posts shared by patients and surgeons were identified for final analysis in terms of perspective, timing, tone and the content of the posts. Results: Of the 1631 posts included in the study, 1140 were shared by patients and their acquaintances, whereas 491 posts were shared by orthopedic surgeons. Posts shared by patients and their acquaintances mainly focused on rehabilitation (66%), daily activities (12%) and surgical site (10%), whereas, posts shared by surgeons mainly focused on intraoperative images (52%) and postoperative patient images (29%). Conlusions: Patients were found to share their surgical experiences in a positive tone and they particularly focused on the rehabilitation process. Whereas orthopedic surgeons commonly shared intraoperative images, probably to better market themselves. Our findings show that the social media posts of patients who undergo rotator cuff surgery may provide important data in the understanding of patients' expectations from rotator cuff surgery.
Dynamic Shifts of Limited Working Memory Resources in Human Vision

Our ability to remember what we have seen is very limited. Most current views characterize this limit as a fixed number of items—only four objects—that can be held in visual working memory. We show that visual memory capacity is not fixed by the number of objects, but rather is a limited resource that is shared out dynamically between all items in the visual scene. This resource can be shifted flexibly between objects, with allocation biased by selective attention and toward targets of upcoming eye movements. The proportion of resources allocated to each item determines the precision with which it is remembered, a relation that we show is governed by a simple power law, allowing quantitative estimates of resource distribution in a scene.
THE EFFECT OF SPATIAL PATTERNS OF SOIL HYDRAULIC CONDUCTIVITY AND DEPTH ON LOCAL AND HILLSLOPE SCALE SHALLOW WATER TABLE DYNAMICS

Much research in forested headwater catchments has focused on the role of topography for organizing subsurface flow and the hydrologic connectivity of upland flow paths to stream networks. However, little work has been conducted to evaluate how localized and hillslope scale patterns of hydraulic conductivity and soil depth contribute to spatial patterns of water table duration, magnitude, and connectivity. I monitored shallow groundwater dynamics in wells distributed across a 1 order hillslope in the Lubrecht Experimental Forest, Montana. Additionally, I collected in-situ measurements of soil saturated hydraulic conductivity and soil depth at 10m intervals across the study hillslope and compared these values to the well hydrologic response. Similar to previous studies, my results indicated that upslope accumulated area was a first-order control on the duration of soil saturation. However, I found that local soil hydraulic properties modulate hillslope scale controls on the duration, magnitude, and extent of groundwater development. Generally, local contributing areas with higher saturated hydraulic conductivity values exhibited lower magnitudes of water table depth and variability in water table depths, lower median water table height, and less cumulative duration of hydrologic connectivity with upslope landscape positions. Additionally, areas with more variable bedrock topography required higher antecedent wetness conditions for the development of transient water tables. These results demonstrate not only the importance of hillslope scale topography for controlling hillslope water table dynamics, but the need to also consider local patterns of soils characteristics and bedrock topography. This study advances the science of hydrology by addressing previously unresolved questions regarding the relative roles of spatial patterns in topography, hydraulic conductivity and soil depth on local and hillslope scale shallow water table dynamics. A better understanding of these local and nonlocal processes may contribute to improved conceptualizations of factors affecting runoff generation and the degree of watershed scale hydrologic connectivity that influences discharge dynamics in forested mountain watersheds.

Neural Latent Aligner: Cross-trial Alignment for Learning Representations of Complex, Naturalistic Neural Data

Understanding the neural implementation of complex human behaviors is one of the major goals in neuroscience. To this end, it is crucial to find a true representation of the neural data, which is challenging due to the high complexity of behaviors and the low signal-to-ratio (SNR) of the signals. Here, we propose a novel unsupervised learning framework, Neural Latent Aligner (NLA), to find well-constrained, behaviorally relevant neural representations of complex behaviors. The key idea is to align representations across repeated trials to learn cross-trial consistent information. Furthermore, we propose a novel, fully differentiable time warping model (TWM) to resolve the temporal misalignment of trials. When applied to intracranial electrocorticography (ECoG) of natural speaking, our model learns better representations for decoding behaviors than the baseline models, especially in lower dimensional space. The TWM is empirically validated by measuring behavioral coherence between aligned trials. The proposed framework learns more cross-trial consistent representations than the baselines, and when visualized, the manifold reveals shared neural trajectories across trials.

Optimal Group Incentives with Social Preferences and Self-Selection

In this paper, we analyze group incentives when a proportion of agents feel in- equity aversion as defined by Fehr and Schmidt (1999). We define a separating equilibrium that explains the co-existence of multiple payment schemes in firms. We show that a tournament provides strong incentives to agents who only care about their own payo¤ but that it is not efficient when agents are inequity averse. In fact, inequity averse agents are attracted by a revenue-sharing scheme in which the joint production is equally distributed, under the constraint that selfish agents have no incentive to join the revenue sharing organization. If the market is perfectly flexi- ble, this separating equilibrium induces a high effort level for both types of agents. Pareto gains are achieved by offering organizational choice to agents and the optimal contract is thus to propose both payment schemes to agents and to allow them to self-select into the different payment schemes.

Received: 16.03. 2020 Received in revised form: 17.06. 2020 Accepted: 25.06. 2020 Available online: 28.07. 2020 The purpose of this study was to investigate resilience and gender as determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among secondary school students in Kwara State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design of ex-post-facto type was used in the study. Five hundred respondents were selected randomly from 5 Local Government Area in Kwara State, Nigeria. The respondents were measured with validated scale and the data obtained was analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation (PPMC) statistical analysis. Two research hypotheses were formulated and tested at 0.05level of significance. The result showed that there was significant relationship between the resilience and entrepreneurial intentions among secondary school students (r = 0.817; p < 0.05) and there no significant difference in the entrepreneurial intentions of male and female secondary school students (t = 0.71; p > 0.05). In view of these findings, the study recommended that the entrepreneurship training should be made compulsory at all levels of learning from primary schools to the tertiary institutions and curriculum should be tailored towards learning the skills for starting businesses after graduation from school, thus changing the orientation of the students at an early stage towards entrepreneurship.
The Link Between Low Self-Esteem and Eating Disorders: A Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies

In this meta-analysis, we synthesized the available longitudinal evidence on prospective effects between self-esteem and eating pathology (i.e., restrained eating, bulimic behavior, binge eating, eating concern, negative body image, and drive for thinness). The analyses were based on 48 independent samples, including 19,187 participants. Mean age was 19.3 years (range = 7–48). As effect-size measure, we used standardized regression coefficients, controlled for prior levels of the predicted variables. Results suggested reciprocal prospective effects between low self-esteem and eating pathology. Self-esteem negatively predicted total eating pathology over time (β = −.08), and total eating pathology negatively predicted self-esteem over time (β = −.09). Overall, results for specific categories of eating pathology were similar. Moderator analyses indicated that the effects did not differ across age, gender, sample type (clinical vs. nonclinical), and time lag between assessments. In sum, the results support a reciprocal relations model of low self-esteem and eating disorders.
