The mechanism of action in a spontaneous resolution of chronic depression, anxiety, and burnout—a retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: June 2024

There is currently no generally agreed-upon definition of the mechanism of action of psychedelic therapy. Existing proposals have approached the issue from various perspectives, utilizing concepts on many layers of abstraction. Most commonly, mechanisms based on neurotransmitters have been proposed. From a clinical perspective, explanations on the psychological level would be more useful. This study provides one such explanation, focusing on the destabilization of trauma-related memories and their replacement with memories that allow for more adaptive behaviors. This mechanism is not specific to psychedelics, and the study therefore illustrates a non-pharmacological process involving it. The study features a male entrepreneur in his early fifties who suffered from chronic but non-debilitating anxiety and depression since his teenage years. In his mid-30s, he suffered from severe burnout but partially recovered. The amount of alcohol consumed was constantly relatively high. More recently, due to simultaneous relationship and workplace stress, he experienced a more severe episode of burnout, depression, anxiety, and insomnia. He felt completely exhausted when trying to get something done and became fearful of the workplace. Psychotherapy and various pharmaceutical medications provided little benefit. After three months on sick leave, a trip to the mountains triggered severe insomnia. Sleep deprivation likely contributed to a spontaneous experience of altered states of mind, including a two-day period of hallucinatory visions. There was the feeling of being a complete failure, but through a new relationship initiated just before the trip, he received love and validation from his new partner, which contradicted the feeling of worthlessness. The combination of an altered state of mind and love induced an alteration of identity that resolved his depression, burnout, and sleep disorders. After three more months of self-organized rehabilitation, he successfully returned to work. Six months after the trip, financial decline caused by his absence and unchanged stressful conditions at the workplace led to disappointment, motivational issues, and stress, but his work performance remained good regardless. One year after the trip, although his work-related stress had increased rather than decreased due to the financial situation of his company being more demanding than before his burnout, the positive outcome prevailed, proving its long-term stability.
Improving the Estimation of Blood Alcohol Concentration from Reported Drinking
Authors: Miller Matt L. , Bartholow Bruce D , Piasecki Thomas M. , Meier Madeline
Published: June 2024

Since the early work of Widmark, and as refined by subsequent research, estimation of blood alcohol concentration (eBAC) from the number of drinks consumed over a given period of time has been well-established. These formulations are increasingly being applied to ecological momentary assessment data to characterize trajectories of eBAC within drinking bouts. In this paper, we illustrate how this can in some cases result in significant underestimation of BAC. We provide a simple improvement to the methodology applying the same formulas and use an empirical example to demonstrate the important effects on eBAC that result.
Double-anchoring theory of lightness vindicates the original anchoring theory
Authors: Bressan Paola
Published: June 2024

Maniatis (2014) criticizes Gilchrist et al.’s (1999) anchoring theory of lightness on the grounds that (a) it is vague, incomplete, and inconsistent, and (b) Gilchrist and his collaborators have themselves variously contradicted its core principles in subsequent publications. She expresses great surprise that the theory continues to be invoked in the literature and has even produced one variant—Bressan’s (2006) double-anchoring theory (which, however, Maniatis does not deal with). Maniatis concludes that the anchoring theory is “obviously unviable”. Here I argue that the vague, incomplete, and inconsistent nature of the anchoring theory has been exposed before, and that the theory’s “variant” was in fact an effort to make it more precise, complete, and consistent. Although most of Maniatis’ remarks are correct, her conclusion is not. By amending the anchoring theory, the double-anchoring theory of lightness has vindicated the solidity of the original theory’s general approach.

National IQs and Socioeconomic Development
Authors: Jensen Sebastian , Kirkegaard Emil O. W.
Published: June 2024

Using 47 indicators of socioeconomic development and various sources of performance on cognitive tests, we constructed the SDI (socioeconomic development index) and a set of national IQs for 197 nations, the latter using no geographic imputations. Combining the various datasets reduced the estimated standard error of national IQs from 5.41 to 2.58, and a strong correlation between socioeconomic development and national IQs was observed (r = .88). Based on the prior that Flynn Effect gains do not pass measurement invariance, IQ scores should exhibit some non-negligible bias between countries. Empirical assessments of measurement invariance across nations finds that measurement invariance violations are uncommon and typically found when verbal tests are given. In most countries, national IQs show high levels of reliability and validity, and we encourage their use in the literature.
Causal analysis of absolute and relative risk reductions
Authors: Meder Björn , Wu Charley M , Rebitschek Felix G.
Published: June 2024

Any new medical innovation must first prove its benefits with reliable evidence from clinical trials. Evidence is frequently expressed using two metrics, summarizing treatment benefits based on either absolute risk reductions (ARRs) or relative risk reductions (RRRs). While both metrics are derived from the same data (e.g., observed frequencies of a disease in a treatment and control group), they implement conceptually and causally distinct ideas. Here, we analyze these risk reductions measures from a causal modeling perspective, revealing an isomorphic relationship to central measure of causal strength and causal Bayesian networks. First, we show that ARR is equivalent to the Delta P metric, while RRR is equivalent to the causal power metric, thus clarifying the implicit causal assumptions. Second, we show how this formal equivalence establishes a relationship with causal Bayesian networks theory, offering a basis for incorporating risk reduction metrics into a computational causal modeling framework. Drawing on these analyses, we demonstrate that under dynamically varying baseline risks, ARRs are inadequate when generalizing treatment effects to novel contexts. Specifically, the inherent assumption of a linear parameterization of the underlying causal graph leads to incorrect conclusions when generalizing to baseline risks differing from those from which the original effect was obtained. For instance, generalizing the effect of a vaccine to new contexts with different baseline risks (e.g., from one population to another). Our analyses highlight the shared principles underlying risk reduction metrics and measures of causal strength, emphasizing the potential for explicating causal structure and inference in epidemiological research.

In this retrospective honoring the exemplary psychologist Daniel Kahneman (1934 - 2024), we present a curated selection of quotes from the academic community reflecting on his ideas. These submissions, gathered from a wide range of scholars, highlight Kahneman's contributions to fields spanning attention, judgment, decision-making, and well-being. From his exploration of cognitive biases to his ground breaking work on prospect theory, Kahneman's research revolutionized our understanding of human behavior and decision-making. Beyond his research, many of the quotes also emphasize Kahneman’s thoughts on what it means to be a behavioral scientist — focusing on a commitment to criticism, transparency, and adversarial collaboration; showcasing the dynamic nature of scientific inquiry across disciplinary divides; and highlighting his dedication to advancing the greater good. Together, these reflections paint a portrait of a visionary thinker whose theoretical and meta-scientific contributions have left an indelible mark on psychology and other social sciences.
Reactionary Exiles. How Conspiracy Theorists Deal With Socio-Technological Exclusion
Authors: Grusauskaite Kamile , Harambam Jaron , Aupers Stef
Published: June 2024

Due to growing public concerns regarding the consequences of disinformation and conspiracy theories, major tech companies have introduced policies to curtail them on their platforms. Until now, the academic debate has largely focused on whether these punitive policies are effective. In this study, we address the question of how de-platformed ‘conspiracy theorists’ themselves experience and deal with such socio-technological exclusion. Drawing on seminal theories in the symbolic interactionist tradition, we conceptualize conspiracy theories as stigmatized ‘knowledge’ and empirically study the ways that conspiracy theory producers manage their stigma after de-platforming. Particularly, we draw on an analysis of twenty-two in-depth, qualitative interviews, ethnographic observations with (former) conspiracy YouTubers, and a digital ethnography. Our findings demonstrate that YouTubers respond to de-platforming by emphasizing the 'silver linings' of their exclusion and by accommodating, bypassing, and reframing their 'stigma'. De-platforming contributes to their legitimacy in the face of their audiences and enables them to carve out space to cultivate a new, stronger form of conspiracy capital and status. This study contributes to the literature on conspiracy theories from a cultural sociological perspective. It advances our understanding of how de-platforming may backfire, strengthening people’s beliefs and standing within their subculture.

Published: June 2024

Introduction: The odds ratio (OR) is a measure of effect, which has many Spanish equivalents. The term Razón de Odds will be used in this document to designate OR. Throughout history OR has contributed to establish associations in public health. Objective: to conduct an epidemiologic note presenting the main theoretical and practical aspects of odds ratio. Methodology: a search was conducted in the Pubmed, Cochrane Library and LILACS biomedical databases, Google meta-searchers and through the snowball key references strategy. This methodologic note includes an introduction, clinical scenario, concept development, examples, discussion and conclusions. Results: an odds is the quotient between the probability of occurrence of an event (p) over the probability of absence of said event (1-p), OR (odds ratio), is the quotient between two odds. It is a measure of effect which allows researchers to identify how strongly an exposure is associated with an outcome. Conclusions: OR may be determined using different types of study designs and by means of a stratified analysis (Mantel-Haenszel method) and the multivariate method by logistic regression and control for confounding variables.

Introduction: radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy is the standard treatment for early cervical cancer patients who do not wish to preserve fertility. The main objective of this study is to compare overall survival, disease-free survival, and recurrence rates of patients undergoing minimally invasive radical hysterectomy (MIS) versus open surgery. Likewise, the histopathological characteristics, intraoperative complications, early and late postoperative complications, are analyzed for both techniques, Methodology: an observational retrospective cohort study between 2011 and 2017. Patients over 18 years of age diagnosed with cervical carcinoma in stages IA1 (lymph vascular space invasion) and IB1 (FIGO 2009) receiving follow-up care until December 2020, were included.  The Chi-square test, Fisher´s exact test or Mann Whitney U test were used for bivariate analysis, to determine the differences between the techniques with regards to sociodemographic, clinical characteristics and intraoperative early and late complications. Overall survival rates and recurrence densities were calculated with data provided by the patients. Results: of the 113 patients undergoing radical hysterectomy, 75 were excluded from the analysis. Overall survival was 100% in the laparotomy group versus 97.6% in the MIS group. The overall recurrence rate was of 8 cases, 14.1 per 1.000 person-years of observation in the MIS group. Patients in the laparotomy group developed no recurrences. There was a significant difference in median intraoperative blood loss (600 cc in laparotomy versus 100 cc in laparoscopy, p= 0.002); 11.4% of patients required intraoperative transfusion (25% in the laparotomy group versus 2.4% in the MIS group, p=0.006). Conclusions: patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery had a higher recurrence and mortality rate than that of open approach.

Introduction: postpartum depression (PPD) is a public health issue. Multiple biological and psychosocial risk factors have been described. In Colombia there are no studies determining its prevalence based on screening scales and diagnostic criteria, as well as its relation to family functioning assessment instruments. Objective: to determine PPD prevalence in in women in the immediate postnatal period and its association with clinical conditions, life-course, and family typology and functioning. Materials and methods: an analytical cross-sectional observational study conducted in the immediate postnatal period (2 to 48 hours after delivery), using the Edinburgh scale (EPDS) and the DSM5 criteria for PPD screening and diagnosis. Sociodemographic variables such as, gynecological-obstetric, and perinatal history, and clinical conditions, were analyzed. Family functioning assessment instruments such as life-course, family typology and family APGAR, were applied. Results: 336 participants with a mean age of 27.3 years, were included. The prevalence of PPD was 5.1%, while prevalent pathologies were preeclampsia (8.3%) and gestational diabetes (6.3%). 58% (p<0.001) had a dysfunctional family to some degree and 88% (p 0.01) belonged to nuclear families. No statistical significance was found for clinical conditions and life-course. Conclusions: PPD is a prevalent mental health issue caused by multiple factors, such as family typology and functioning. Further quantitative and qualitative studies to establish causal relationships, are needed, to better understand this phenomenon.

Profesjonsutvikling i partnerskap er den andre tekstsamlingen fra Universitetet i Stavanger som tar utgangspunkt i erfaringer og læring fra partnersamarbeid i Rogaland. Høsten 2017 ble tekstsamlingen Skolebasert kompetanseutvikling i partnerskap publisert. Den omhandlet ulike perspektiv og erfaringer fra den nasjonale satsingen Ungdomstrinn i utvikling. Denne andre tekstsamlingen ønsker å løfte fram erfaringer og ny kunnskap fra ulike former for partnersamarbeid i vårt fylke gjennom både tilskuddsordning for lokal kompetanseutvikling og partnersamarbeidet mellom UiS og universitetsskolesamarbeidet, som inkluderer hele utdanningsspekteret fra barnehage til og med videregående opplæring. Tittelen på denne rapporten, Profesjonsutvikling i partnerskap, viser til formålene med de ulike partnerskapene: at vi sammen utvikler profesjonskunnskap og praksiser til beste for barn og unge. Partnersamarbeid gir lærere i skoler og barnehager muligheten til kontinuerlig å utvikle sine evner og sin kapasitet for å håndtere daglige utfordringer i praksis. Vitenskapelig ansatte fra UH-miljøene gis, gjennom partnersamarbeidet, en anledning til utvikle egen kompetanse og holde seg oppdatert på praksis som grunnlag for å utvikle kvalitet og relevans i lærerutdanningen. Profesjonsutvikling i partnerskap viser derfor også til partnersamarbeid som noe mer enn kun en måte å organisere et samarbeid på eller en betegnelse på en finansieringsordning. Tekstsamlingen fremmer at kompetanse i organisasjoner utvikles best gjennom dialoger og likeverdige samarbeid over tid mellom aktører som bidrar med kunnskap og perspektiv fra ulike kunnskapsbaser. Det er derfor verdt å merke seg at de fleste artiklene i denne tekstsamlingen er utviklet gjennom samarbeid mellom aktører i ulike partnersamarbeid i Rogaland og synliggjør på gode måter spennet og mangfoldet av ulike erfaringer og læring fra disse.

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN QUALITY BETWEEN BIM COLLABORATIVE LOGIC AND TRADITIONAL CAD LOGIC
Authors: Khalid Zaouia  , Said Mazouz
Published: June 2024

Building Information Modeling, often referred to as BIM, is considered an essential part of the design and construction process in many countries. The aim of this study is to test the application of this system in relation to traditional computer aide design (CAD) and to characterize the possible contribution of BIM to architectural quality. The analysis model consists of modeling the design process through an exercise proposed to student architects. The proposed solutions were subjected to a detailed statistical analysis in order to characterize the contribution of BIM elements to design quality. The results show that out of five evaluation criteria, four are in favor of BIM, with a percentage of 80%. For the functionality criteria, the results of the BIM approach and those of CAD are reconciled for the remaining 20%. This research confirms that architectural design using BIM tools, even with a low level of collaboration, leads to a higher quality design than the traditional CAD-based approach.

Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a condition classified as an eating disorder that is characterised by a distorted perception of the image of the body. This leads to pathological behaviour caused by the fear of gaining weight. AN has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric disorder and many starvation-related complications. The incidence of AN appears to be stable, but is increasing in younger patients, especially those under the age of 15. Given the global popularity of the mobile application TikTok, especially among adolescents, we conducted a literature review to examine the impact of this application on anorexia. Research indicates that the use of the TikTok application does affect self-perception. Despite the application's ban on content related to eating disorders, it is still possible to find and interact with such material. There are communities on the platform that support each other in recovery, as well as in persevering through the illness. The work highlights the complexity of the problem.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a conceptual multi-sided platform business model including an app that shows the availability of a barber service called Barber-Gerak. This platform will be created in order to address the key challenges that have been faced by various customer segments (CS) such as the difficulty in finding decent quality barbering services with reasonable prices, and the unavailability of the services needed outside of office hours. Due to this, customers usually find themselves conflicted to get certain services they want. The extreme pain faced by barbers is the difficulty to reach customers at their own home. As for the B40 community, most of them are unemployed or under-employed due to the after effect of the pandemic. The gain from this platform is to find first quality barber services in society. A user friendly digital platform needs to be developed using certain programming languages. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) mapped to this paper are SDG 8 which is Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 1 which is No Poverty. The methodology that will be used is the Design Thinking method where it is used to define the key challenges and extreme pains, and provide a suitable solution for that challenges and problems. Hence, this paper offers a possible conceptual and sustainable solution via multi-sided platform business model and digital platform/app for the underemployed, the unemployed, and the B40 community as barber-preneurs.
