A Critical Analysis of Ümit Özdağ's X Posts within the Framework of the General Discourse of the Populist Radical Right
Authors: Güzel Süleyman Çağrı , Alışkan Yılmaz
Published: November 2024

The aim of this study is to analyse the posts made by Zafer Party (ZP) leader Ümit Özdağ from his personal account on the X platform with reference to some of the concepts that populist radical right ideology produces discourse around. In this context, the analysis of Özdağ's X posts within the framework of the general discourse of the populist radical right is important for understanding how the populist radical right discourse is reproduced locally. In this study, the method of critical discourse analysis was applied to discuss the ideological meaning of the discourses formed around the concepts. In particular, the concepts of immigrants/refugees, Islam and nation have been selected with reference to the discourses put forward by the populist radical right-wing movements on the rise in Europe, and Özdağ's X posts have been analysed through these concepts. The analysis has been conducted on the concepts of immigrants/refugees, Islam and nation. Özdağ's discourses largely overlap with the populist radical right ideology on migrants and refugees. However, Özdağ's discourse differs from the general discourse of the populist radical right on Islam and the nation at certain points. On the issue of Islam, Özdağ, unlike Western right-wing populists, criticises the cultural practices of Muslims rather than categorically rejecting Islam. By highlighting Turkish nationalism, Özdağ reproduces anti-immigrant discourses within this framework. While the populist radical right has recently produced discourse through civic nationalism rather than discourse based on ethnicity, some of Özdağ's X posts evoke ethnic nationalism.

Published: November 2024

Productivity is the key for business actors to compete in a highly competitive market. Productivity is closely related to the effectiveness and efficiency of using resources in producing output. This research focuses on Flying ADK MSMEs, which shows a significant increase in production in three periods (May 2023 – March 2024). Production achievement that continues to approach the set targets shows great potential for growth, but requires further strategic interventions to improve efficiency and competitiveness. The purpose of the study is to analyze the level of productivity, profitability, and price improvement factors in ADK Fly MSMEs and provide recommendations for improvement. The method used is  the American Productivity Center (APC), to measure productivity, profitability, and price improvement factors through optimizing the use of resources such as labor, raw materials, energy, and capital. The measurement results showed an increase in productivity of 1.4% in the second period and 0.4% in the third period. Profitability also increased by 1.4% and 0.4% in the same period. The price improvement index increased every year, reaching 0.97% in the second period and 0.93% in the third period, which had a positive impact on the company's productivity and profitability. This increase was analyzed in detail using a fishbone diagram. The results of this study provide recommendations that can be used by business actors to optimize resources and improve operational efficiency.

Authors: Бердинських Святослав  Олександрович
Published: November 2024

Метою дослідження є аналіз ефективності традиційного та цифрового колажу в структурі дизайн-діяльності, виявлення їх основних формотворчих властивостей, встановлення пріоритетів використання та специфічних завдань у передачі як об’єктивних, так і образно емоційних властивостей зображуваного об’єкта. В дослідженні використано вивчення дотичних до теми інформаційних джерел, критичний аналіз практик застосування новітніх засобів візуалізації творчих проєктів; огляд портфоліо сучасних дизайнерів та художників комп’ютерної графіки; структурний та системний аналіз; синтез існуючих відомостей та новітніх результатів дослідження. Недостатня вивченість колажу як засобу проєктної графіки актуалізує дослідження, пов’язані із виявленням типологічних, функціональних, композиційних, стильових та структурних його особливостей. Історія становлення та розвитку колажу дає змогу стверджувати, що колаж – не лише особлива мистецька техніка, а і революційний спосіб мислення на етапі переходу до нових художніх форм початку ХХ століття. Подальша трансформація колажу відбулась у низку технік, які прогресували, активно використовуючись в епоху постмодернізму. В результаті аналізу сучасної формотворчої практики виявлено досить широкий діапазон застосування колажу в усіх видах художньо-проєктної діяльності на етапах передпроєктних розвідок, в процесі творчої роботи та синтезу ідей, презентації результатів проєктування. Встановлено, що колаж та його різновиди цілком правомірно можна вважати інструментом практичної реалізації проєктного задуму, засобом генерування творчих знахідок та стимуляції пошукових процесів, а також однією з форм професійного міркування на рівні опрацювання ідеї. У дослідженні виявлено пріоритети та основні стратегічні напрями доцільності і ефективності використання традиційного та цифрового колажу в художньо- проєктній діяльності. Практична значущість одержаних результатів полягає в можливості застосування їх у практиці дизайну, навчальному процесі підготовки фахівців художньо-творчих галузей, а також подальших дослідженнях мистецтвознавства, культурології, архітектури та дизайну.
ІСТОРИЧНІ ЕТАПИ ФОРМУВАННЯ ДИЗАЙНУ РЕАБІЛІТАЦІЙНИХ ЦЕНТРІВ ДЛЯ ВІЙСЬКОВИХ
Authors: ЗАСТАВНИЙ Р. С.
Published: November 2024

Мета: на основі ретроспективного аналізу становлення дизайну реабілітаційних центрів для військових, визначити ключові етапи та фактори, що вплинули на його розвиток. У статті застосовано комплексний підхід до аналізу дизайну реабілітаційних центрів для військових, включаючи історичний огляд на основі архівних матеріалів і наукових публікацій, аналіз технологічних, ергономічних, медичних і соціокультурних аспектів. Результати дослідження показали, що еволюція дизайну реабілітаційних центрів для військових пройшла кілька ключових етапів, починаючи з Першої світової війни. У цей період простори були здебільшого функціональними, орієнтованими на фізичну реабілітацію, часто в обмежених умовах. Протягом Другої світової війни зросла увага до просторових рішень, що забезпечували комфорт, проте в закладах того часу залишалася проблема недостатньої приватності для пацієнтів. У післявоєнний період з'явилася тенденція до більш збалансованого підходу, який поєднував функціональність із комфортом і психологічною підтримкою. Хоча дизайн став більш відкритим і технологічно прогресивнішим, залишалася потреба в індивідуалізації простору та забезпеченні приватності для ефективнішого відновлення. Вперше проведено системний аналіз історіографії дизайну реабілітаційних центрів з урахуванням технологічних, ергономічних, медичних і соціокультурних чинників. Практична значущість дослідження підкреслює необхідність створення зручних і функціональних реабілітаційних просторів для ветеранів. Зростання кількості пацієнтів вимагає нових архітектурних і дизайнерських рішень, що відповідають сучасним стандартам і потребам. Результати аналізу історичних етапів дизайну дозволяють створювати більш ефективні та комфортні простори, які підвищують якість реабілітації і життя ветеранів.

Published: November 2024

This research aims to determine the judge's considerations in carrying out his juridical function to adjudicate cases, whether they align with legal principles governing marriage and protecting children's rights, and how social stigma influences the judge's decision-making process in many instances.  Interviews were conducted directly to create effective and efficient discussions to collect the primary data. In addition, data was obtained through literature and research studies, including regulations, documents, and related books.  This paper examines a case study concerning a judge's decision to grant dispensation to a married couple not yet of legal age due to a request for parental guardianship submitted to the Gorontalo Religious Court in decision Number 10/Pdt.P/2021/PA. The findings show that the convergence of various legal aspects, cultural values, and social norms can influence judges' considerations in determining child marriage dispensations. The issue of child marriage in Indonesia is complex and needs serious attention. A legal framework must support objective legal principles, take into account the needs and interests of all parties, and overcome social stigma against child marriage.

Published: November 2024

This study explores the concept of maslahah, according to Najmuddin Al-Thufi, as a realization of fintech development in Indonesia. Najmuddin Al-Thufi developed a theory of maslahah that emphasizes flexibility and adaptability to dynamic socio-economic contexts. This study integrates the theory with the development of fintech in Indonesia. This descriptive and qualitative research provides a more comprehensive picture of the concept of maslahah at-Thufi and the phenomenon of fintech in detail and in-depth and using a phenomenological approach. Data sources come from secondary data from books and relevant and reliable journals related to the discussion of Maslahah Najmuddin at-Thufi and fintech. The results showed that applying Najmuddin al-Thufi's maslahah concept to the development of fintech in Indonesia can be implemented for effective regulation and support the growth of fintech in an inclusive, safe, and equitable manner. The maslahah principle, which focuses on the public good, can deal with challenges such as consumer protection, data security, financial inclusion, and business ethics. By applying this principle, regulations can be more adaptive and responsive to technological dynamics, ensuring that the real benefits to society are always prioritized in every regulatory decision.

ІСТОРИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ СТАНОВЛЕННЯ АДАПТИВНОГО СПОРТУ ЧЕРЕЗ ПРИЗМУ ЙОГО ЗАГАЛЬНИХ ПРИНЦИПІВ
Authors: Лазоренко Сергій , Чхайло Микола , Ворона Віта
Published: November 2024

В статті розглядаються історичні аспекти і актуальні питання становлення і розвитку адаптивного спорту у світі і в Україні. Означено, що в умовах військових дій адаптивний спорт відіграє важливу роль у соціальній реінтеграції військових, які зазнали інвалідності. Завдяки йому досягається зміцнення здоров'я, подолання психологічних бар'єрів, розвиток фізичних якостей, а також реалізація спортивного потенціалу. Визначено, що загальними принципами сучасного адаптивного спорту є принципи історизму, гуманізму, соціалізації, оздоровчої та реабілітаційної спрямованості, а також гедонізму. З’ясовано, що історія адаптивного спорту починається ще в античності, зокрема в Спарті, де воїни з інвалідністю брали участь у змаганнях, надихаючи молодь своїм прикладом. Однак офіційне становлення адаптивного спорту відбулося у ХХ столітті. Німецький лікар Людвіг Гуттманн першим започаткував змагання для людей з травмами спини, що згодом переросли у Паралімпійські ігри. Перші такі ігри для ветеранів війни відбулися в Лондоні у 1948 році і стали передвісником сучасного міжнародного паралімпійського руху. Вважаємо, що на сьогодні адаптивний спорт є не тільки способом фізичної реабілітації, а й важливим інструментом соціальної інтеграції. Українські паралімпійці демонструють виняткові досягнення на міжнародних змаганнях, займаючи високі місця в загальному заліку. Підсумовуючи, слід зазначити, що в сучасному українському суспільстві відбувається процес звільнення від радянської спадщини та формування нового суспільства, яке будується на засадах поваги до всіх його членів, включаючи людей з інвалідністю. Важливим елементом цього процесу є розвиток параолімпійського та адаптивного спорту, що сприяє реабілітації та інтеграції людей з обмеженими можливостями. Високі досягнення українських спортсменів на міжнародних змаганнях, таких як Паралімпійські ігри 2024 і Ігри Нескорених 2023, підтверджують успішність цієї стратегії і зростання цивілізаційного рівня суспільства.
ДОСЛІДЖЕННЯ ПОСТУРАЛЬНОЇ ЗДАТНОСТІ У ТАНЦЮРИСТОК ІЗ РІЗНИМ ТЕРМІНОМ ТРЕНУВАНЬ
Authors: Подрігало Ольга , Сяохун Го
Published: November 2024

Мета роботи полягала у здійсненні порівняльного аналізу здатності танцюристок, які відрізнялись за терміном тренувань, щодо контролю пози та визначені впливу терміну спортивної діяльності та моторного досвіду на цю здатність. Дизайн дослідження передбачав застосування батареї тестів, спрямованих на дослідження статичної та динамічної рівноваги. Здатність утримувати статичний баланс визначали за часом виконання пози Ромберга, проби Бірюка та дотримання пози ластівки та виконання проби Яроцького. Для оцінки динамічної рівноваги використовували пробу «Хода з заплющеними очима». Доведено наявність відмінностей за показниками утримання рівноваги за шістьма показниками з дев'яти у спортсменок-танцюристок, які відрізнялися терміном тренувань. Це доведено часом виконання ускладненої пози Ромберга, часом проби Бірюка, кількістю обертань у пробі Яроцького при оцінці статичного балансу та всіма показниками проби «Хода з заплющеними очима» при дослідженні динамічного. Таким чином, проведений порівняльний аналіз постуральної здатності спортсменок-танцюристок з різним терміном тренувань дозволив встановити певні відмінності. Спортсменки, які мали більш тривалий термін підготовки характеризувалися кращим рівнем здатності щодо підтримки балансу, як статичного, так і динамічного. Це доведено результатами тестів на статичну рівновагу і показниками, за якими визначалась здатність утримання рівноваги при відтворенні динамічних рухів. Найбільш інформативними та специфічними тестами для оцінки постуральної активності спортсменок-танцюристок є ускладнена поза Ромберга, проба Бірюка та тест «Хода з заплющеними очима». З’ясовано, що спортсменки з більшим терміном занять мали суттєво кращі результати виконання тестів, що доводить позитивний вплив тренувального процесу на статичну та динамічну постуральну здатність. Використаний комплекс тестів та функціональних проб характеризується доволі простою реалізацією, наочністю, кількісним характером оцінки та інформативністю. Це надає підстави для рекомендації використання апробованого комплексу тестів у якості скринінгів для оцінки стану спортсменів-танцюристів на різних етапах підготовки й може використовуватись для спортивної орієнтації та відбору.
ПРО НАПОВНЕННЯ АНГЛОМОВНОГО КОНТЕНТУ MOODLE ДЛЯ МАТЕМАТИЧНИХ ДИСЦИПЛІН
Authors: Фурсенко Олександр , Удодова Ольга , Черновол Наталія
Published: November 2024

У статті розглядаються особливості підходів до викладання математичних дисциплін у вищих військових навчальних закладах (ВВНЗ) із застосуванням інтерактивних лекцій англійською мовою. Автори висвітлюють основні способи та проблеми перекладу математичних термінів при наповненні Moodle. Знання математичних термінів є важливим при проходженні навчальних курсів за кордоном для глибокого розуміння фахових дисциплін. Крім того, це надає можливості глибше орієнтуватися в питаннях статистики, обговореннях бюджету, під час відвідування міжнародних конференцій тощо.
Військове співробітництво з країнами-партнерами, насамперед країнами-членами НАТО у відбитті російської агресії гостро поставило на порядок денний питання не тільки знання англійської мови в об’ємі загального курсу, але і знання відповідної термінології для розуміння фахових дисциплін. Ґрунтовне засвоєння спеціальних фахових дисциплін неможливе без знання фундаментальних дисциплін і особливо математики, яка є мовою точних наук. Зважаючи на це, останнім часом при прибутті наших військових фахівців для навчання за кордоном поширеною практикою є проходження тестів не тільки з англійської мови, але й з математики. Система Moodle дає зручний набір інструментів для вирішення цього питання при різних формах навчаннях (очному, онлайн, змішаному). Наповнення Moodle англомовним контентом є важливим для курсантів ВВНЗ із точки зору їхньої професійної підготовки як фахівців, які готові проходити підготовку на різноманітних курсах в країнах-партнерах.
Використання дистанційного навчання Moodle дає ВВНЗ додаткові можливості: надавати освітні матеріали курсантам англійською мовою; доступ до контенту платформи в будь-який час; розміщування детальних, додаткових матеріалів до основної програми; створювання високотехнологічного інформаційно-комунікативного освітньо-наукового простору. Розроблено курс дистанційного навчання для опанування математики англійською мовою за допомогою вбудованих модулів платформи Moodle.
“99% of gamblers lose in the long run”: An experimental comparison of novel and pre-existing safer gambling messages
Authors: Newall Philip Warren Stirling , Weiss-Cohen Leonardo , Petrovskaya Elena , Torrance Jamie , Palmer Madison , Xiao Leon Y.
Published: November 2024

Safer gambling messages are often used as a population-based harm prevention measure, and independently-designed messages (e.g., “Chances are you’re about to lose”) are increasingly replacing industry-designed slogans (e.g., “Take time to think”). One common type of safer gambling message warns people that they should expect to lose money by gambling (e.g., “99% of gamblers lose in the long run”), but methodological differences between studies limit our ability to compare their relative efficacy. We asked UK-based online gamblers (N=4,025) to rate ten pre-existing and novel messages on 7-point scales relating to one potential negative impact (challenging participants to try to win at gambling) and three potential positive impacts (making participants want to gamble less, and being perceived as relevant to the participant and to gamblers experiencing harm). Participants also completed the Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) to explore potential interaction effects based on levels of harm. Messages were all on average perceived as not challenging participants to try to win; as making them want to gamble less; and as being more relevant to the participant than to gamblers experiencing harm. Significant differences were observed between messages, with “99% of gamblers lose in the long run” scoring the best overall, and the five pre-existing messages scoring the worst. Messages were more likely to be seen as a challenge by participants with higher PGSI scores. Continual message design and evaluation can help improve the effectiveness of safer gambling messages.

Despite historic efforts to improve rates of higher education participation for educationally disadvantaged students, equity students remain underrepresented in Australian universities. University-run equity or ‘outreach’ programs which target secondary students are one way to encourage higher education access and participation of equity students. However, there have been few national assessments of these equity initiatives. Using a representative sample of Australian schools from the GENERATION survey of Australian youth, this research examines the characteristics and targeting of university-run equity initiatives in schools during 2022. Analysis shows that approximately one-quarter of secondary schools in Australia report receiving an equity initiative. Programs mostly focused on increasing aspirations for higher education, among low socio-economic, Indigenous, and rural and regional students. However, findings indicate that these programs may not effectively target disadvantaged or regional schools. Moreover, programs may be implemented too late to impact students’ career and educational aspirations.

Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds produced by plants. Recent research has demonstrated that a higher intake of polyphenols is associated with a reduced risk of several adverse health outcomes. However, accurately estimating polyphenol intake presents numerous challenges as there is a lack of homogeneity in and standardisation of polyphenol assessment methods. Further, no comprehensive polyphenol database specific to the Australian population has been developed. To address these gaps, this manuscript aimed to present a polyphenol database specific to the Australian population and provide an overview of the methods used to develop the database. To achieve this aim, all food items listed in the 2011-13 Australian Food Composition Database (AUSNUT 2011-13) were coded for polyphenols using Phenol-Explorer. The expanded AUSNUT 2011-13 includes content data for total polyphenols, polyphenol classes (flavonoids, phenolic acids, lignans, other polyphenols and stilbenes), polyphenol subclasses [flavonoid (N = 9), phenolic acid (N = 4), and other polyphenol subclasses (N = 14)], as well as individual polyphenol compounds (N = 495) and proanthocyanidin polymer categories (N = 5) in 5,470 food items. The database is included as a supplementary file and may be used to inform future research regarding dietary polyphenol intake and health outcomes.

One key feature of depressive disorders is rumination, which is associated with the onset, duration, and severity of the disorder. Moderate-intensity exercise (ME) has been established as treatment for depression. The “distraction hypothesis” assumes that exercise ameliorates depression because it distracts individuals from ruminative thoughts. We investigated whether a single bout of ME reduces self-reported rumination, shifts individuals’ mental state from rumination to distraction, and the temporal dynamics of these effects. Participants conducted a single bout of ME (105% of the lactate threshold) compared to a sedentary control condition (SED), both lasting 30 minutes. The sample consisted of n = 24 moderately or severely depressed participants. To assess the temporal dynamics of rumination, the study continuously measured self-reported rumination assessed via visual analogue scales (VAS) and decoded rumination versus distraction from individual EEG patterns as primary outcomes. The ME condition reduced self-reported VAS-rumination more strongly than the SED condition (F(6, 343.05) = 4.44, p < .001, ηp = 0.07), with significant differences between groups at minutes 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30 of the intervention. Over the whole time course of the exercise intervention, ME reduced the probability of decoded rumination in favor of decoded distraction (F(1, 117) = 9.46 p = .003, ηp = 0.07) in a subsample of n = 10 individuals, for whom prior decoding from EEG was successful. This study supports the distraction hypothesis by showing that ME reduces self-reported and decoded rumination and increases the likelihood of distraction from rumination.

National narcissism (i.e., an unrealistic belief about the national group’s greatness that is derived from individual’s unsatisfied needs) has been previously predicted by negative emotionality. This research aimed to further investigate the emotional roots of national narcissism by examining its’ link with emotion dysregulation. Across three cross-sectional studies conducted among British (Study 1, N = 473), American (Study 2, N = 444), and Polish (Study 1, N = 633) participants, we found that greater deficiencies in emotion regulation were consistently linked with higher national narcissism. We also replicated past effects of emotion dysregulation and national narcissism on conspiracy beliefs and demonstrated the indirect effect of emotion dysregulation on conspiracy beliefs via national narcissism. These results suggest that the emotional deficiencies of individuals are important in shaping group-level phenomena. We discuss these findings’ potential limitations and significance.

Since the techniques of Reinforcement learning (RL) can actually produce dynamic decisions under uncertainty in the financial portfolio optimization, therefore, it is a critical area of research. A review in recent advancements in the application of RL for portfolio management has been done in this paper, with an emphasis on its possibility of enhancing the associated risk management as well as optimizing returns in complex financial markets. First, we outline the basic principles of RL and discuss its wide range of applications in portfolio optimization. Thereafter, the paper moves on to major challenges in this field, that is, big data issues, non-stationary environments, and computational complexities. Last, we will be showing future directions for the research which may include the integration of metalearning, multi-agent systems, and real-time adaptability for further enhancing the performance of RL-based portfolio optimization systems.

Authors: Sahin Gizem , Şen Mustafa
Published: November 2024

The development of electrochemical devices has become a significant focus in the field of biomedical engineering in recent years. Particularly, there has been an increased interest in low-cost and disposable solutions, as they overcome the challenges associated with the continuous renewal of traditional electrodes and reduce sample volume. Disposable electrochemical devices offer practical solutions in areas such as health monitoring, environmental monitoring, and food analysis, providing user-friendly approaches. This study focuses on optimizing screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) through the development of Ag and carbon-based conductive pastes. Silver paste synthesized using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibited high conductivity suitable for electrochemical applications. Characterization tests, including electrical resistance measurements and rheological analysis, confirmed the paste’s potential for thin film electrode production. Carbon-based pastes, incorporating multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and activated carbon, were also evaluated for their electrical properties and substrate adhesion. Microstructural analysis using SEM and FTIR spectroscopy validated the morphology and surface chemistry of AgNPs synthesized, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis confirmed their crystallographic structure. Overall, this study contributes valuable insights into the fabrication and optimization of conductive pastes for screen-printed electrodes, paving the way for their effective utilization in biomedical, environmental, and food monitoring applications.

Published: November 2024

Peripherally located objects are often perceived to be smaller than centrally located objects. This perceptual phenomenon, known as the Size-Eccentricity Effect (SEE), is mainly due to the structural properties of the visual system and is further modulated by covert attention. In this study, we evaluated whether pre-saccadic attention could also compensate for this effect. Participants performed a judgment task where they compared a test disk of varying size, briefly presented in peripheral vision, to a reference disk appearing 450 ms later in foveal vision. When no saccade was made toward the location of the test disk, the SEE was observed. However, when participants initiated saccades about 200 ms after the test disk extinction, points of subjective equality were close to objective equality. The second experiment aimed at excluding an explanation involving non-specific arousal mechanisms, also known to enhance visual perception. Participants executed a keypress or an antisaccade instead of a saccade. The SEE disappeared only in the saccade condition, confirming the crucial role of pre-saccadic attention shifts in this SEE compensation. Therefore, pre-saccadic attention improves not only the processing of orientation, contrast and spatial frequency (as previously demonstrated), but also the processing of peripheral object size.

Adolescents’ increasing engagement with digital media raises significant concerns about its impact on a variety of outcomes. However, existing research often relies on self-reported measures of time spent on digital devices, which fail to capture the complexity and nuances of digital interactions and experienced. Data donation offers a more reliable alternative by allowing for the collection of objective, time-stamped data from social media platforms. Using a longitudinal feasibility trial (N = 358, aged 13–18 years), alongside focus groups and input from youth advisory panels, we demonstrate the effectiveness and acceptability of data donation as a data collection method. High engagement rates indicated participants’ willingness to donate their social media data for research, with privacy concerns and trust in researchers acting as pivotal factors in participation. Based on our findings, we propose six key recommendations for conducting adolescent data donation studies, emphasising transparent communication, ethical consent, and collaborative design. In future, the effectiveness of this highly promising data collection method relies on incorporating adolescents’ perspectives, ensuring their agency and concerns are central to the research process, and fostering their digital well-being through inclusive, ethical study designs.

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is challenging to acquire from children, especially those with high levels of movement. Here we examine the feasibility of scanning treatment-seeking youth with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and predictors of head motion in the scanner. Participants included 52 youth with TS ages 12-21 years. Out-of-scanner variables tested as predictors were age, self-reported inhibition ability (Behavior Rating of Executive Function (BRIEF)), tic severity (Yale Global Tic Severity Scale (YGTSS)), and tic suppression ability (Tic Suppression Task, TST). In-scanner head motion was measured as the amount of time framewise displacement was & <0.2 mm. Almost all participants (92%) had sufficient amounts of usable resting state data (≥5 minutes at FD <0.2 mm) without re-scanning or other adjustments. Younger age, lower inhibitory control, and lower tic frequency when attempting to suppress during the TST predicted increased motion in the scanner. Tic severity (YGTSS total severity score) did not significantly predict motion. These findings establish feasibility and can improve design considerations for MRI research on movement disorders.This work was derived from the clinical trial Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation to Augment Behavior Therapy for Tics (ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04578912., URL: https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04578912).
