Ayahuasca in the treatment of bipolar disorder with psychotic features–A retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: March 2023

Ayahuasca is a plant-based brew of indigenous Amazonian origin. It has psychedelic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective, cytotoxic, and anti-parasitic effects, which are primarily due to monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) and N,N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT). This article describes the case of a woman in her late thirties with complex trauma due to severe, years-long sexual abuse in early childhood, resulting in a decades-long chronic condition involving suicidality. She was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and borderline personality disorder, but refused to accept either of them. She presented with delusional parasitosis and deep dissociation. Despite being severely psychotic in private, she appeared high-functioning in public, hiding most of her symptoms. In her mid-thirties, she participated in an ayahuasca ceremony in a legal setting. It resolved her suicidality, eliminated her social isolation, and reduced her shame related to her early trauma. Nine more ceremonies alleviated her distress further. Her abuser also participated in an ayahuasca ceremony and confirmed her memories of childhood abuse. The first interview was conducted 1.5 years after her first ceremony, and a follow-up interview 2.5 years later. She had experienced sixteen additional ceremonies, recognized the validity of her bipolar disorder diagnosis, and believed her early trauma to be its sole cause. Her core trauma remained partially unresolved, but her dissociative symptoms continued to decrease. She had observed several other instances of psychosis and bipolar disorder in which ayahuasca had resulted in positive effects. This case study contributes to a better understanding of the use of ayahuasca in bipolar disorder and severe traumatization. It also reviews the current state-of-the-art in the treatment of bipolar disorder using low-dose ayahuasca, and a case in which bipolar disorder was resolved with LSD.
The Gendered Nature of AI: Men and Masculinities Through the Lens of ChatGPT and GPT4
Authors: Walther Andreas , Logoz Flora , Eggenberger Lukas
Published: March 2023

Because artificial intelligence powered language models such as the GPT series have most certainly come to stay and will permanently change the way individuals all over the world access information and form opinions, there is a need to highlight potential risks for the understanding and perception of men and masculinities. It is important to understand whether ChatGPT or its following versions such as GPT4 are biased – and if so, in which direction and to which degree. In the specific research field on men and masculinities, it seems paramount to understand the grounds upon which these language models respond to seemingly simple questions such as "What is a man?" or "What is masculine?". In the following, we provide interactions with ChatGPT and GPT4 where we asked such questions, in an effort to better understand the quality and potential biases of the answers from ChatGPT and GPT4. We then critically reflect on the output by ChatGPT, compare it to the output by GPT4 and draw conclusions for future actions.
Modeling individual aesthetic judgments over time
Authors: Brielmann Aenne , Dayan Peter , Berentelg Max
Published: March 2023

Listening to music, watching a sunset — many sensory experiences are valuable to us, toa degree that differs signiﬁcantly between individuals, and within an individual over time.We have theorized (Brielmann & Dayan, Psychological Review, 2022) that these idiosyncraticvalues derive from the task of using experiences to tune the sensory system to current andlikely future input. We tested the theory using participants’ (N = 59) ratings of a set of dogimages (n = 55) created using the NeuralCrossbreed morphing algorithm. A full realizationof our model that uses feature representations extracted from image-recognizing deep neuralnets (e.g., VGG-16) is able to capture liking judgments on a trial-by-trial basis (median r = 0.65),outperforming predictions based on population averages (median r = 0.01). Furthermore, themodel’s learning component allows it to explain image sequence dependent rating changes,capturing on average 17% more variance in the ratings for the true trial order than for simulatedrandom trial orders. This validation of our theory is the ﬁrst step towards a comprehensivetreatment of individual differences in evaluation.
Understanding psychedelic 'mystical experience'—A case example
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: March 2023

In recent psychedelic therapy research, the concept of 'mystical experience' has been highlighted, as in several studies it has been identified as a significant predictor of improved outcome. Many studies mentioning the concept, for example, reports of randomized clinical trials, typically do not provide detailed examples of such experiences, however. In order to make the concept easily understandable, this case study aims at exemplifying what kinds of unexplainable or 'mystical' phenomena may emerge in the process of psychedelic therapy, how these experiences are related to treatment outcomes, and what kinds of attitudes clinicians might want to adopt when facing such situations. The present case concerns a man in his forties with family trauma that happened before his birth. The trauma continually affected his life, leading to alienation from his parents after his teenage years. After more than two decades, interest in psychedelic therapy led him to attend a psilocybin session, in which he relived the family trauma. As a result, he rebuilt his relationship with his parents, as well as the relationship between his parents and his children. Another psilocybin session a year later led to an improved relationship with his wife. A third session with MDMA released embodied, job-related stress. Inspired by his experiences of such therapy, also his father attended a psilocybin session. Information was acquired from semi-structured retrospective interviews.
Cytoelectric Coupling: Electric fields sculpt neural activity and “tune” the brain’s infrastructure.
Authors: Pinotsis Dimitris A. , Fridman Gene , Miller Earl K.
Published: March 2023

We propose and present converging evidence for the Cytoelectric Coupling Hypothesis: Electric fields generated by neurons are causal down to the level of the cytoskeleton. This could be achieved via electrodiffusion and mechanotransduction and exchanges between electrical, potential and chemical energy. Ephaptic coupling organizes neural activity, forming neural ensembles at the macroscale level. This information propagates to the neuron level, affecting spiking, and down to molecular level to stabilize the cytoskeleton, “tuning” it to process information more efficiently.
Self-treatment of psychosis and complex post-traumatic stress disorder with LSD and DMT—A retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: March 2023

This article describes a case of a teenager with early complex trauma due to chronic domestic violence. Cannabis use triggered auditory hallucinations, after which the teenager was diagnosed with an acute schizophrenia-like psychotic disorder. Antipsychotic medication did not fully resolve symptoms. Eventually the teenager chose to self-medicate with LSD in order to resolve a suicidal condition. The teenager carried out six unsupervised LSD sessions, followed by an extended period of almost daily use of inhaled low-dose DMT. Psychotic symptoms were mostly resolved after approximately one year. Subsequent cannabis use caused a transient relapse. While his psychosis may have been due to cannabis use in the presence of a genetic predisposition, LSD and DMT did not promote psychotic symptoms in this case, and resolved the suicidal condition in one session. Additional high-dose LSD sessions and low-dose DMT sessions appeared to resolve the symptoms related to the early complex trauma. Alternatively, if psychosis is understood as a massive defense system resulting from early complex trauma, and if his psychotic symptoms were partially due to such trauma, psychedelics appeared to transcend this defense system, providing access to traumatic memories in order to allow for an integrative treatment effect. Information was acquired from medical record excerpts provided by the patient, a semi-structured retrospective video interview, and follow-up interviews a year later. The present case suggests a need for further studies on the relationship between psychedelics and psychotic disorders, the feasibility of supervised vs unsupervised settings for various situations, and alternative therapeutic models for utilizing the hyperaware-hypersensitive state induced by psychedelics. With regard to self-treatment, a harm reduction approach should be adopted. Low-risk psycholytic self-treatment protocols could be developed for future use in public health care systems.
Self-treatment of depression and complex post-traumatic stress disorder with psilocybin and LSD—A retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: March 2023

In medicine, psychedelics were initially considered as a tool for clinicians to understand psychotic states. Based on the presented case data, a reversal of that concept is proposed: psychedelics could be conceptualized as a tool for people chronically anxious and depressed since early childhood to understand ordinary states of mind (e.g. calmness, hopefulness, relaxation, and joy). The case concerns a young man who suffered from early-onset complex trauma due to daily abuse by his comprehensive school teacher and other pupils, resulting in severe anxiety and depression. He refused anti-depressive medication. Supportive psychotherapy failed to alleviate the situation, and interaction with psychiatric personnel subjectively experienced as rejection escalated his symptoms. At the age of 19, he resorted to unsupervised self-treatment with psilocybin. Occasional high-dose psilocybin sessions alone did not produce permanent outcomes in a constantly retraumatizing environment. After becoming unemployed at the age of 25, he dedicated himself to working with psychedelics more intensively, with gradually declining doses. The essence of his method was to relive the originally overwhelming traumatic events, maintaining a conscious focus on somatic sensations and avoiding getting overwhelmed again. In his own estimation, by the age of 30, he had resolved most of his early trauma but had been sensitized to the prevalence of trauma and its consequences (e.g. violence, racism) in the society, and his exposure to these continued to cause him suffering. Regardless, he had gained 'a foundational feeling of peace or stability that could provide safety in the middle of all this'. The information for this case study was acquired in the course of semi-structured retrospective interviews 2.5 years apart. The case illustrates that chronic treatment-resistant depression together with an unsupportive social environment may present a challenge for psychedelic therapy. As with ketamine, chronic administration may be necessary in some cases.
Is it Just a Game? Development and Validation of a Deductive Version of Mastermind as a Measure of Reasoning Ability
Authors: Schroeders Ulrich , Loos Ariane , Wiedemann Sebastian , Jankowsky Kristin
Published: March 2023

Building on the long common history of board games and intelligence research, we developed a new deductive reasoning test based on the popular game Mastermind. The research questions of this registered report were: (a) Is a psychometrically sound measurement of the ability to solve Mastermind items possible (i.e., a reliable, uni-dimensional measurement with a good coverage of difficulty)? (b) Is the ability to solve Mastermind items substantially related to other measures of cognitive ability (i.e., matrix test, knowledge test) and need for cognition? (c) Can item difficulty be predicted by the number of colors, positions, premises, and a newly proposed entropy-based index? Based on the results of a pilot study, we developed 30 items and administered them to 351 participants in the preregistered main study using a multiple matrix sampling design. The deductive Mastermind test proved to be (a) a reliable and efficient measure of reasoning across a wide ability range, and (b) showed expectation-consistent patterns for the convergent and divergent measures. (c) The entropy-based index allowed for the prediction of item difficulty to a considerable degree (R² = .47). We discuss the ideas of information theory, including entropy, as constructing principles for the rational test development of reasoning tests.

Authors: Forys Weronika Jasmina , Tokuhama-Espinosa Tracey
Published: March 2023

Background: Researchers have defined the existence of a construct of Adaptable Depression as a subset of depression, yet no there is no clinical measure for assessing AD and its severity. The objective of this study is to develop a brief self-report scale to identify the occurrence of AD and evaluate its reliability and validity.Methods: A criterion-standard study will be performed in four national sports associations in Poland. 120 subjects will complete each questionnaire; afterward, elite athletes will talk with a mental health professional within 1 week to independently asses the analysis for the construct. For criterion and construct validity, AD self-report scale diagnoses will be compared with independent diagnoses made by mental health professionals and other validated questionnaires.Discussion: The aim of the study is to develop reliable tool that will serve as means for diagnosis the construct of Adaptable Depression. We hope that it will help to better define the nature and challenges of mental health among elite athlete
EVALUATING POLICY INSTRUMENT COMPLEXITY WITH CAUSAL LOOP DIAGRAMS
Authors: Crabolu Gloria , Font Xavier , Eker Sibel
Published: March 2023

Methods to capture the complexity of using policy instruments would allow us to better evaluate the reasons for their effectiveness. Drawing from complexity science, we produce a Causal Loop Diagram to analyse the implementation of two informational policy instruments in a tourism destination: the Global Sustainable Tourism Council criteria and the European Tourism Indicator Scheme. To interpret the emerging system structure, we use complexity theory concepts of emergence; interdependence and interconnectivity; co-evolution; self-organisation; feedback; historicity and path dependence. This qualitative methodology sheds light on the interplay of factors that facilitate and impede the continuous use of these policy instruments. It shows how adopting a complexity science approach to evaluation studies can be invaluable to making tourism policy interventions more impactful.
Diffusion and Collective Violence in India
Authors: Sorge David C.
Published: March 2023

This study brings diffusion modelling to the study of collective ethno-religious violence in India. Using an event-history framework and a recently developed GIS data crosswalking procedure, this study is the first to bring together demographic, electoral competition, economic, and diffusion models at the level of parliamentary constituencies. Consistent findings across models find a strong diffusion effect, with indications that state-level media plays an important role in the spread of collective violence. Additional findings across models support the interpretation of this violence as a tool to reinforce ethno-religious hierarchy in situations where large or more economically well-off minority populations disturb the dominance of the ethno-religious majority.

Topicality Much attention has recently been paid to the student health. Health depends of many factors and is determined by a set of interrelated features: primarily physical performance, functional status of organs and systems of the body, physical development, physical fitness of students. Purpose: The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the functional state of students with different types of posture. Material and methods. The study surveyed 222 students (108 boys and 114 girls). The analysis of the obtained data indicates that only 19.4% of boys and 12.3% of girls have a normal posture. Results. Among students with postural disorders, scoliotic (asymmetric) posture is most common (34.3% of boys and 43.8% of girls), less with stooped (22.2% and 23.7%, respectively), less common with round posture (24.1% and 20.2%). Female students have a lower level of biogeometric posture than boys.The functional state of the level of aerobic productivity, girls, regardless of posture, is higher than boys. Among boys, the level of aerobic performance was not rated higher than "below average", and among girls below "excellent" or "good". It was found that in students with a low level of biogeometric posture profile, the level of aerobic productivity, regardless of gender, is lower than in people with normal posture. Thus, the relationship between the level of biogeometric profile and the level of aerobic productivity, regardless of the type of posture. Conclusions. The functional state of the level of aerobic productivity, girls, regardless of posture, is higher than boys. Among boys, the level of aerobic performance was not rated higher than "below average", and among girls below "excellent" or "good".

Annotation. Relevance of the research topic. According to the scientific community, practical shooting has historically developed, first of all, as a competitive activity and specific sports and shooting training for it, as a way to compare, compare and improve human shooting abilities in conditions close to combat. At the same time, practical shooting has been formed as an applied discipline that provides highly effective training for servicemen and law enforcement officers, especially special forces. Perhaps the biggest difference between practical shooting and other types of shooting sports is the variety of exercises that are developed and prepared for each competition new (new location of targets, a new set of obstacles and conditions). The use of standard exercises is limited only to qualification competitions. The purpose of the article is to determine the angular indices of the biocouples of the musculoskeletal system at different moments of time when moving sportsmen who specialize in practical pistol shooting, by the methods of "ordinary" and "linear" step. Material and methods of the research. Participants of the research. In researches participated 10 qualified sportsmen who specialize in practical pistol shooting. Each sportsman realized 5 attempts by ways of moving "usual" and "linear" step. It is important to note that there were no restrictions on the choice of the speed of movement of the athlete, the speed of the series of shots during the attempts. Sportsmen were oriented on that each shot was accurate in a series of shooting, with its performance for a minimum period of time, which actually largely determines the sports result in practical shooting. Research methods. We conducted an experimental study in the laboratory using the optoelectronic system of 3 D registration and analysis of human movements "Qualisys". The results obtained during the study were processed using the methods of mathematical statistics. Results of work. The conducted biomechanical analysis allowed to reveal fundamental differences in the biomechanical structure of the technique of different ways of moving during shooting. Of course, the key indicator that determines the overall effectiveness of the studied action is the result of shooting. However, the overall result is defined as a set of factors of shooting and the time used for it. Further analysis of the situation involves the development of technology for the formation of the technique of moving the shooter while shooting a pistol in motion.

One of the topical areas of modern scientific research in the field of physical education is the study of the whole range of issues related to health and its formation. The number of people working in the office is increasing exponentially every year. Despite the existing perceptions, the activity of office workers is characterized by tension and high intensity. Their health is affected by harmful factors, including the sedentary nature of work and the need to stay in the working position of a personal computer user for a long time, which lead to office syndrome. The purpose of the article is to theoretically substantiate the technology of correction of disorders of the musculoskeletal system of women aged 36-45 years by means of health fitness. Material and methods of the research. The study involved 52 office workers aged 36 to 45 years. During the study, theoretical research methods, online questionnaires, statistical analysis using cluster, frequency and comparative analyses were used. STATISTICA software package was used for data processing. Results. The study showed that the population of office workers is divided into groups based on the manifestations of office syndrome and forms of their behavior in the work process that determine health. The technology of correction of disorders of the musculoskeletal system of women aged 36-45 years by means of health fitness is theoretically substantiated, the distinctive features of which are: purpose, tasks, principles, organizational, pedagogical and methodological conditions, levels of implementation (organizational, diagnostic, program-methodical, control and correction and advisory and educational), algorithm of implementation, the unity of which gives integrity and completeness.
